Plz is there any UBC applicant here who has got response on application to resume this August?

I submitted since May and no response till now

Will I end up defering? Is this how Canada embassy is?
Am experiencing a bitter delay.

Hoping this ends well cos I invested a lot!! ...

You should have written to them long time ago.

jdhills:
GOODAY guyz! i want to freshly apply for admission for master degree in canada....i heard and gleaned online that there some schools that dont require IELTS or toefl which off cos makes things easier obviously but am a little skeptical about this especially when matter reach embassy for student visa.... is it advisable i do this?

You don't need an English proficiency test for study permit application.

walecott:
Sorry, what do I need to take along for medicals?

Your passport. Photocopy of the bio data page. The medical request fom. Your 28,050 if you are going to children's practice.

Kriff:
Good day everyone. Happy Sunday.

Please I'm writing my SOP and I can't figure out a way on how to write on home ties with landed property owned by my mom. Please can anyone give me an idea?

I really appreciate your effort. Thanks.

You can state that the property will devolve on you afterwards. But seriously, you can just use the fact that your parents and all siblings are in Nigeria as a home tie and it will surely fly.

teslims:


Thank you @blaqnony, I did my upfront at Qlife and when I called them for a possibility of doing another test they said that it is not possible because the one that I did is valid for one year, do you think I will be able to do at the Children's Practice?

If that is the case then you might wish to give them some time to update the medicals you did. On the interim please send mails and Webform, informing IRCC

teslims:
Hello Guys,

I will leave the long story for the other day, which I will hopefully share with the house when everything has fallen in place.

I applied online on May 15 and I opted for upfront medical in week 12 (August 03) when no progress was being made so as to avoid delay when I get medical call-up. I sent my upfront medical information sheet to Accra through CSE on August 07 then I got medical request on August 08. I sent emails to Accra, Lagos and London since then but nothing has changed on my profile.

Kindly advise me on what to do next?

Thank you and may God bless you all.

I think you should go and have medicals again. Go to children's practice, within 2 days u will have it uploaded and u will be sure to have it approved afterwards. Rather than waiting for them to upload it

Very long post! I applied on the 1st of May. I applied for a Masters of Law in University of Saskatchewan.


The documents I used are:
The normal CIC forms.
I got a 20k scholarship from U of S. Though I got later got bursary and offer as Graduate Teaching Assistant which I didn't include in my application and never bothered to send to CIC.
A sponsorship letter from my employer stating that firm intends to take care of my flight ticket and other miscellaneous not covered by my scholarship.
Admission Letter.
My Employment Letter.
Police Clearance Certificate
Transcript and all my academic certificates.
Letter of Purpose and Explanation especially emphasizing why I must do my program in Canada as such program in research is not done in Nigeria and not even in the US. I think my strongest ñoint was my statement of purpose and explanation. At least I can write well.

NB: I didn't include personal assets, statement of account or even that of a family member. No paystubs. While filling the form, I didn't include the end dates for all my employment history, including the present one. I sent about 14 mails to different Canada embassy offices, and about 6 webforms when I was waiting for them to send me a medical request. I even told them that I am running out of time to make my travel plans.

Did Biometrics on the 3rd of May, updated the same day. Then my trouble began. Lol. Long wait was really a serious trouble. Friends that applied were getting updated nothing for me and thats where the real problem started. My BP got so high. Finally on 24th of July, I got medical request. I couldn't go for medicals till 1st of August for some reasons. I later went and everything went right except that my BP was high. 152/90. I was never a known hypentensive. It all boiled down to high BP garnered over the wait period for my approval. The doctor asked me to wait for sometime. I repeated it, the same thing. I was asked to do 3 more tests, Electric Cardiograph, Echocardiogram, and Serum Creatinine Test , and then get a cardiologist report which cost me a lot. On Friday I got the report from the same hospital.

Just yesterday I did a mail to the hospital to enquire why they haven't sent the medical report, they generated it yesterday night and sent to them. Then today, my medicals was updated as passed ND in less than 1 hour an approval and request of original passport.

In all it was about God, I did countless fasting and praying, sowing of seeds and all that. Especially when the reports I was getting here were not favourable.

Bye and large, I think it is most appalling to see us trying to compare our application with others. That alone is enough to increase your BP and can even cost you your success in medicals or at least extra expenses for further tests that is even costlier than the medicals itself. Quit worrying, your worries can't change anything. Rather it can even kill your hopes of having your studies abroad.

Please those going to U of S can you hit me up! All the gurus in the house thanks for all you do here. I quite appreciate Hardy and Nyjunwa for sharing the email addresses I sent mails to. 15 weeks no be beans o. We expect more approvals here soon.

Please house I intend to go drop my passport tomorrow in Lagos as I am currently in Lagos. However, I did my biometrics in Abuja, does it make any difference? If yes, how? Thanks for your contribution. And what am I expected to go there with? Does going early save me from anything?

The Lord is ever faithful. I just got a Request for my Original Passport. I applied online since May 1. I will come back shortly for further details. I need to keep my cool to type as my application was complicated. I pray for many more approval here soon.

Frankrobbn1:


You shouldn't compare your application with those that recently got their visas because they are PHd applicants. PhD applications are generally fast in getting response.

Be hopeful!

Not just that it is wrong to compare one's application with PhD applicants. It is totally wrong to compare your application with anyone's own whether PhD, Masters or PGD/C. Applications differ in all aspects. Continuous comparison will lead you into HBP and you will not like the outcome.

MeinKampf:

There's no difference between taking pics and scanning. Some phone cameras can do better job than best scanners

And I think they even stated clearly on their website that documents must be scanned and not snapped

MeinKampf:

There's no difference between taking pics and scanning. Some phone cameras can do better job than best scanners

Brother, they are simply not the same. It may look clear when snapped, but you should be aware that if it will be printed it will be of very poor quality.

Frankrobbn1:

goingforward,

I will advise that you should wait! Nowadays, online applications takes time before they update upfront medicals, when they eventually do so, it immediately moves to review of eligibility which means that your application is getting to a close and a decision will be made any time soon within the space of 3hrs-48hrs. I don't buy the idea of sending a mail for them to update your medical result.

This is my advise.

All the best!

Apt advice. No need for such email now as your application is very well within time. I wish you the very best.

No it is not for people with paper route. I did online route and got same messages and follow-up plus tracking number. My Resumption is Fall

I did online too and I got the same message. The question is not whether an online applicant can get the message, rather, it is whether upon receiving such message, you can use it to track anything. And to the best of my knowledge and experience, an that of few others that I know, you can track the application with that number.

Lagos2canna:

Beware of credit card fraud, two applicants visa was denied based on credit card fraud after medical was successful.

Please does it mean using ones credit card automatically means credit card fraud ?

emeka27:
Hello house... I applied for a Study Permit via paper route on June 26th and received the refusal letter on July 24th. The reasons for denial was Purpose of Visit, Family Ties and Financial Status. I got to find out about this thread not long ago. I studied Project Management, have worked as a Project Manager for over 7years and got admitted for M.Ent (Master of Entrepreneurship). These where the documents I used for the application:


School Admission Letters
Term Tuition Payment Receipts
SOP
1year SOA (Inflow 34m; Outflow 28m; Closing Bal. N5.1m)
Employment Letters (Old & New)
6 months Payslips
Birth Certificates of myself & siblings
Sponsor's CAC Docs (Sponsor was my place of work)
Sponsor's 6 months SOA (Inflow 82m; Outflow 75m; Closing Bal. 4.5m)
Bank Reference Letter
Police Clearance
Sworn Affidavit/Board Resolution by Sponsor

Though i am yet to order for my GCMS notes as I am still trying to pull myself together but I am having a feeling my financial status is the major reason i was refused TRV.

Please i wish to ask, is it okay if i re-apply to another school in Canada? Do you guys think it would be an issue to a VO if the school of admission in my 1st TRV application is different from the school in my 2nd application??

Please i'd like your thoughts on this. Thanks guys.

Sorry for your denial. I don't think it is an issue if you get admission to a different School. Although other guys in the house should also have their say too. Meanwhile, I don't think the problem for your denial was financial status, you simply have good sum of money as closing balance and your sponsor's SOA is also in good shape. I strongly believe that the reason is the reasonability of your intended program. That is the existence of carrier progression between your first degree, work experience and the intended study. I think u should apply for your GCMS notes to get the actyrrason for refusal.

orobs93:


the subject of the message was: application accepted .
my school starts January winter ...and the message was from visaglobal.ca ..the message states that "we will like to inform you that your application has been processed in our office on July 24 you can track the status of your application through our website below using your tracking number ..then tracking number followed below.


the message ended with

best regard visa application centre Lagos

Lagos.


and this message came within 24 hours after my biometric

Oga just calm down. Once your application is done online there is nothing to track. It will continue to show that Record Not Found. That stuff is meant for people who did paper route. I applied almost 3 months now it is still showing that same thing till now. Come to think of it, once you open your profile, everything is there for you to see and that explains why there isn't anything to further track.

jnyuwa02:


Whatever they feel is amiss. It could be a verification of the credibility questions asked whether you have been denied visa to another country or asked to leave another country. It could be criminal background check as always. It could be the authenticity of bank statement or other documents you submitted. Sundry verifications some not even privy to my knowledge. Then and after then, does it move to deternination of eligibility. If you don’t pass the stage, you get an administrative letter accusing you of stuffs that you have to respond to.

Such which one is background check? Abeg let us stop all this second guessing. There is nothing like vetting in the process. What we have are bodlu written there.

jnyuwa02:


This is very true. The vetting of applicants starts right after biometrics is concluded, even before review of eligibility. Once a file is vetted and passed, it moves to the next stage which is review of eligibility. I think June applicants will start hearing now of their fate. Brace up, the Lord is your strength!!

The question is what exactly are they vetting ?

Frankrobbn1:

blaqnony,

You don't expect me to start exchanging words with you or to justify my claims. The simple fact remains that paper route applications are predictable. Quote me anywhere Sir/Ma.
You seem to know very well, how many online applications have you seen so far that was rejected within a month?? I don't condone blind argument, I deal on facts. Above all, there are no best route, in as much as people get approved in both routes.

All the best!

You already exchanged words while claiming that my argument is blind. I won't join urther issue with you on this. But I will say it for the umpteenth time, there is no hard and fast rule for determining which one is better. We have seen paper applications denied several weeks after application. We have also seen online applications denied with 3 weeks. So, you can continue to deal on 'facts'.

ote author=Frankrobbn1 post=69678885]
Biakwa,

The moniker that was rejected is an online applicant. From recent findings, it happens to be that paper route applications seems faster to online route, which makes it easier for an applicant to know the fate of their application and as well quickly refire once refused. Paper route applications doesn't waste time in calling for medicals once an applicant has successfully submitted their application, this usually takes place 2-5 weeks after application submission. More so, Paper route applications are very fast in dishing out refusals, within the space of 3-4 weeks. Paper route takes a longer time on review of eligibility which can last for about 2-8weeks after medicals has been called and updated as PASSED.
On the other hand, online applications appears very slow, and once review of eligibility starts it doesn't take much time for a decision to be made by the Visa officer, this happens within the space of 3hrs-48hrs. Finally, online applications are unpredictable due to the slow rate of processing. An applicant might stay up-to 10-12weeks and above in online route and still get a refusal. But such is very rare on paper route application.

The above are the recent happenings for Nigerian applicants study permit application both online and paper route. [/quote]

There is no hard and fast room in both the online and offline application. Non is predictable until you have your approval. We have seen online applications that didn't take up to 4 weeks to get a refusal here. Nothing is cast on a stone. Just do your application, putting the right documents and continue to pray until it is approved.

Hello guru in the house,

My TRV study permit online application was refused this evening after 12 weeks of submission. Am weak, I don't know what to do next. And classes resume on 5th of September..

Reasons:

1 travel history
2 family ties in canada and in country of residence
3 purpose of visit

Am weak, I don't know what to do next and classes resume on 5th of September. I don't know what to write to satisfy this people again.

Travel history I make used of my virgin passport. Is it compulsory to have travel history before making application? I read some people receiving their visa with passport why my own different?

Family tie what family tie should I input am not married and my dad doesn't have landed property, he only has a company.. my course of study doesn't go in line with his business or Should I say I will come back home to take over his business while my course of study is not in line with business? Which other family ties should I use.

Purpose of visit. I don't really have idea about it.. please guru in the House should help me out abeg! Am confuse..

If I should reapply should I use the same SOA I used during my first application or I should another one? Am saying this because SOA was not part of the reasons I was denied.

I could be reached via tonyumeh25@gmail.com... I need help!

Thanks

So sorry Tony. It is really devastating! Kindly do as guys here have advised.

Meanwhile, were you ever called for medicals?

Omonoba1981:


No medical !!

Ok.

Omonoba1981:


Mine was like 6months last year. And end up with reject.

Nawa o. 6 months? That was terrible. We're you ever called for medicals before the denial ?

wealth360:
Whatever you share there can be shared here in a broader view. I advice you stick to this thread. wrong things has happened in the past with private whatsapp group whatever.

This is absolutely correct. I wonder why exactly a WhatsApp group must be further created.

Aphrikanna:

But is it normal. Like do Canadian universities take this long to make an admission decision

It is over normal self. But it depends on the school. Some give administration on rolling basis, while some give admission after a deadline for application. So it depends. Those in the category of the later can take up to 3 months or more.

jnyuwa02:


I believe the result of your application will be out before September 1st week. If you are sure you put a bulletproof application, then go take medicals. If not sure, you need to wait until they call you. Cos if you take medicals and your application is not granted, it will be a waste of money.

There is nothing like bulletproof application at all. Otherwise, nobody will be anxious over this thing. Just do your bit,pray hard and hope for the best.

wallet87:

Same with me I applied may 7th,I equally sent mail to about 7 cic offices too last week Wednesday but go a reply from lagosthat they have received my app and it's under processing . (They replied me through the mail I sent to London immigration. I guess they might be the one processing it)

Ok. Yeah, I recall that we are in the same category. I got a response from Lagos saying similar thing as yours but they replied the nail I sent to them. I will send you a mail now so we get to talk more.

Kaka89:
Hi fellas, I applied on 11th July and I have been trying to track the application since then but gets nothing. Is anyone having the same issue? Cos a guy that applied on 10th June was given his tracking number and he started tracked it that evening to see (application in Process) as the status

It seems you applied online, if so, don't expect the tracking number to function as you can access your profile online.

Please house, I made an online application since very early May. I did my biometrics early May too. No update since then. I have equally sent emails accros to some addresses, yet no plausible responses. Only 2 responded and apparently they are not the offices handling my application. I have equally called Visa Office Lagos to see if I can get where the application is being processed. All to no avail. Please does anyone know what best I could do again or should I just continue chilling and praying over it ?

Aghatise:
Greeting my people. Application in week 9 ; wrote the consulate on Monday and got a direct feedback from Nairobi yesterday that my application has been finalized and should be hearing from VFS in the coming days. (Paper Route, Medical Passed - June 16) but there is no update on my portal when I linked my application ( still: eligibility review as well as background check processing since June . Any idea on what this could mean?

Sorry that I don't have an answer to your query. Please what email addresses did you write to ?
