In think you should call them and inform them you've gotten a medical request. Tell them you want to do it immediately.

042viber12:

MEDICAL PASSED... I know this does not guarantee an Approval tho, but its the first update I have gotten since August 2018 that my Eligibility Review started, so its something.. Hopeful for the almighty Passport Request.. Peace

Congratulations! Please do the medical fast so we can wash the visa

042viber12:
IT IS MEDICAL REQUEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I won mad for road ooooo ooooo!!!!!!!!! JESUS IS LORD!!!!

Please get your info from the page below (for paper application).

Chukwuemekatehi:
Please some one should please list the imm forms to be submitted. I saw something different from what I submitted. Please I am confused.

Reviewing documents submitted or the application using their criteria, I think. I'm not certain tho.

042viber12:
I need an answer to something, I might be one of the gurus but I need to ask..Wat does this eligibility stage entail?

Austacus' reply should do. Don't stress yourself too much about online or paper, just choose, submit, and go and pray.

I wish you good luck.

Asapant:
Bracha. The Inquiry I'm making is if it possible I get access to the internet at VFS so as to download the IMM forms and fill with their computer at VFS. I think I ealier explained the issue am facing. Do you dig what am saying?
Moreover the Online route is giving me headache.

I thought the question was if they had stayed in a designated country, and if they had if they did medicals or something like that. Anyhow, knowing the designated countries helps them make whatever decision they want to make.
Cheers

JustMellow:
I think these monikers are referring to medical options available to an applicant who have stayed in a designated country for 6 consecutive months.

If you're applying for a study permit (SP), you do not need to submit an application for a temporary resident visa (TRV) along with the SP application because a TRV is what will be stamped on your passport. Just fill the application form for "Application for a Study Permit made outside of Canada" and other relevant forms listed and then apply. Please find relevant forms listed in the link below: fill only forms that apply to you.

Jaylap:
Please help! I am unable to upload IMM 5257 form on my application after I validate and save it

No, it isn't. I wrote the link to the list of designated countries, which means that if you haven't been to/in any of the countries for 6 months, you answer 'no' there.

Chukwuemekatehi:
I think this is quite different bro.

Hahahhaaha... Thanks for the heads-up.

einsteino:
and broke if I may add.

Hello,

1. Just pay the lump sum into your account and leave that money there as proof. They want to see you have enough money to take care of yourself, while your investments show you have money, they don't know if the money will be available immediately you need it. That's why we advise enough cash be in the account that will be presented.
2. Yes, your spouse can be a co-sponsor.
3. I don't know about the domiciliary account. Austacus can help with this.
4. Yes you can, but make sure the statement of account has the required amount in it. i.e tuition + 10,000cad (if you haven't paid tuition).

Hopefully someone else gives you a more detailed advice.

DBlessedofGod:
Congratulations to all who have received approval of visas, reading your success stories gives me great hope. I believe I will also share my testimony soonest.

Dear Seniors n Gurus,
I need your advice, I intend to sell off 2 of my investments a land n car to have liquid cash in my account as most of my money is tied on investments e.g land, Mutual fund, rsa etc.

My questions 
1. Can I pay the lump sum into my account and use to buy treasury bill or fixed deposit to show it's intended for my tuition 
2. Can my spouses savings be included as part of source of my finances 
3. Can I open a dorm account and pay the money into a dollar account.
4. Can I submit investments that are in my spouses name during my application? As all our investments are in my spouses name except for cars 

Pls i need n appreciate your advice.

Thanks in anticipation

Please go to the first page, and you'll find it listed there.

I don't think this is possible, you have to fill it using a computer. There are cyber cafes close to vfs but they charge very high. I'll advise you use a cyber cafe close to your house if you don't have data to download Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Asapant:
Boss. I am unable to download the IMM forms. I hope I can get the IMM forms at VFS office and fill it there ?

Is that the same Shoprite mall we have here in Nigeria or is it just for fast food only?

Originalsly:
NYC... Brooklyn. Shoprite on the mall... wanted to snap some pics inside but ehmm...I wasn't all dressed up! Went in there once.... not really popular here except for junk food lovers. Trees naked all winter during the cold about to get fully clothed in green uniform as the brilliant sun finally starts adding heat to its light..

Hello

I just checked and CIMT doesn't offer courses eligible for post graduate work permit. I'll advise you to NOT apply to the school.

Christty:
Hi my good people please, I want to know if CIMT College is a good college to study. I will be waiting anxiously for your reply. Thanks.

Hello,
I'll advise you send an email to cic first, reminding them of your resumption date. If nothing positive comes of it, you can do the medical exam if you want. When did you apply, and what was the estimated processing time at the time of application submission?

Anamekele:
Yes my resumption date is may 6th and the school said they can't defer my admission again since I have deferred before. Please that is why am asking if it us good for me to do medical before they call for it.

Lol... this also happened to me. Fortunately, God favoured me someone in on of the offices helped, I did everything without having to pay again. I didn't even have my birth certificate yet I got the passport lol

Best201195:
@bolded. I remember when I wanted to get my Intl passport. I decided to go through the online route. I paid and printed my documents. Got to the immigration office and one officer there told me that I'm whining myself. He said if I wanted an Intl passport I will pay at the office physically. I had to pay and start again. I dont know where that first payment went to as if it's not the same immigration office's account i paid to. See how Nigeria chop my money

Whistlebowing is ethical and yes, he didn't do anything wrong. BUT, he "wronged" one of the biggest schools in the US by snitching on them - a school where most of its graduate get jobs by recommendation and referrals. That is where his problem lies; so, instead of getting recommended he'll be left high and dry, because of the bad PR he's given the school.

Instead of applauding him, they'll punish him by making sure he never gets the type of job he wants or even one befitting his academic qualification, he'll then have to settle for the "crumbs".

sillysassysally:
Interesting...
It speaks to the dangers of a single story - as Chimamanda would say. However, it still stands true that job hunting in the US isn't beans.

With that said, I'm finding it hard to see the wrong thing in what he did that'll make recruiters avoid hiring him. Whistleblowing is ethical and many companies even encourage this. What do you think?

Nna hapu that thing! It was God and God alone! Congrats bro.

Sponsorship letter
Account statements
Fixed deposit
Houses or Landed properties
Marriage certificate (mom and dad)
Family pics <me, mom, dad, godfather and godmother then one white oyinbo man (I was still a baby, we no get family pic for my pman house)
PCC (Police character certificate) though it’s not mandatory for study visa please add it if you can.

My first application

The intellectual work started from the day I got my first Gcms notes

I ordered 3 Gcms notes.

The VO edit tire looking for every loophole to bring me down in my Gcms.
My problem started with my sponsorship letter cause my dad made it straightforward. I didn’t know he has to state the amount he’s committing to my education.
They even wanted to use work permit against me thinking I deliberately chose the course cause of the work requirement.

My dad fixed deposit put me in a big mess... dem no recognize that thing at all.
I had to send my own account statement after my third Gcms note before I tackled first and second Gcms notes.

They also wanted to use travel history against me.

Last week I contacted about 150 MPs in Canada (I told myself even if nah one person answer me)
About 15 responded back (with stories that you’re not a constituent in the riding blah blah blah) the MP is my school riding just do like person wey go help me, I fill a form and all, then after everything she withdraws from it with stories.
Only 1 was helpful. He looked at my file and told me wassup. He told me what the VO wrote on my file with a biro. I don’t know how he did it though it took him two days to respond back to me. Nah there he stops to respond to me cause he said he can’t go deep on my file for privacy reasons. And he wishes me good luck. Such a nice man.
Ahmed Hussein used one of the MP to get back to me. (Is response wasn’t helpful at all)
Because the MP promised me that he going to talk to Ahmed Hussein on my behalf during their meeting... surprisingly this Ahmed Hussein tell the man he’s aware of my case that he got my message so so so date and time (they don’t joke with records) I can’t even remember the day I sent it to him but he was so accurate.
He told his colleague (MP) stories to tell me. (normal immigration stories).
The thing tire me.
Then the MP wished me good luck.

Earlier this year I contacted an immigration lawyer in Canada (he said he can’t do anything until they refused my visa).
They stored my names and all for records reason

They did a foss check on my brother in Winnipeg
I would advise you guys not to mention your sibling or family member in Canada cause it can be used against you or slow your application

That's all I can say now. ( I did a lot of research in this Canada study visa) if I show you my PC and phone tabs, you will shake your head.
Good luck to all the visa hopefuls.

Please to those that sent me a pm, I would be responding to only May, June and July buddies.

I also contacted one retired CIC VO in quora. He answered me but he's very very diplomatic. He didn't say anything that makes sense to me e tire me


Thanks to Oga frank I haven't finished reading all your post since I joined the thread last year June.
Thanks to my name sake Austinpee I am still reading lol

Another tip, if your sponsor has too many dependants, please reduce it in your affidavits of supports.
And be careful while listing all your siblings in your imm form in case you omitted their names in dependants (affidavits if means of support) especially if they are still under your parent.

Bless you

Hahahahhaahaaha! Please stop!

For the sponsorship, if you dont have funding, I'll advise your brother write a letter stating clearly why he's funding you. The why is important if you don't have funding.

makano:
Bracha were all ur applications online? If ur 2 previous applications were paper route, u dont need to put any UCI on ur online application..

Congratulations!!!!! I'm so so happy for you. I don't understand what you've been through but I can imagine it! Sheesh!

This visa is nothing but God and it’s a intellectual war between me and the VO that handled my application.

I want to use this measure to thank honorable justwise without you, this thread wouldn’t be possible. Thank you sir for the opportunity. I feel you don’t like me but I love you.

I also want to thank the man I value and treasure sir Frankrobben. Bro you be angel (no too much talk)

I also want to thank my manny Jibola AKA sleeksoft thank you brother. You inspired me a lot, thanks my brother thank you my brother.

I also want to thank man like galala123 and canadabyfire I learned a lot from you guys

I also want to thank my Algonquin brother 042viber I can’t wait to welcome you to our school. Your visa is next in line.

I want to thank the man of action Makano thank you so much for everything, your visa is next in line. God that didn’t neglect me will never neglect you and 024viber

I want to thank anita and deborah thanks for your prayers, I will do everything within my power to congratulate you girls in Canada.

Mcobex bbcue, Mr j, justmellow (English man) and the rest..., thank you for your selfless contribution.

The one and only Naijaforeigner, this guy is Phenomenal thank you for your selfless service
I’ve leaned a lot from you.

Bracha thank you so much for your selfless service. Thank you. Fine girl with the good heart.

To every hopefuls don’t give up on your dreams.

To all May June and July applicant slide in my pm, I have a secret for you guys.

I actually went to anifowoshe on Wednesday. The person I met just like me at first sight and he told me the secret then he prayed for me and wish me good luck. I may go back there and tell him thank you.

This visa suffered me.
The day I did my biometrics, VAC was still working till 8 pm that day, I left home around 7 and left VAC 7 pm. I was sleeping on steering... I almost had an accident that very day but God came through for me. So whenever I remember that day and imagine why my visa is still pending, tears will drop from my eyes and I will look up to God.

I contacted more than 150 MPs (senators) in Canada then on Wednesday I gathered mind and drive straight to Anifowoshe.

I was in the movies watching “Hotel Mumbai” as soon as they finished the movie, I saw the alert in my email address.

I will recommend you guys to watch that movie and thank me later.

God is indeed faithful
Nara ekele chineke.
May June July, don’t lose hope, your visa is sooner. Don’t forget to hit my pm.
“God answers prayers”

God bless everyone that is reading this my success story. Whatever you ask from God, don’t give up, he knows your worries. He will answer your prayer.

“When God wants you to grow, he makes you uncomfortable”

Please don’t mind my typo error. I am so eegxited.

So you're single? Hmmm
Yes, that's all I got from that very informative post.

einsteino:
Occasionally, I am approached to give insights on life in Canada, Jobs and integration. I am not quite sure I am in a good position to answer as I have only been here for barely half a year, and then again I can't possibly know the prospects for every field and every person, so its hard for me to say anything specific to a wide population, and I am quite cautious making uninformed statements that could end up being the bedrock of someone's life decision. Nonetheless, I feel if I scribble some ramblings about what I think and have experienced, there maybe a thing or two to take from it. I have chosen to reply here to leverage on the possibility of people who may know better to peer-review and correct the errors in my thoughts.


Footnote: Canada is a leveler, so it is easy to to think we are all the same as immigrants from Nigeria and such we can extrapolate off anyone's case. This causes some people to erroneously tow a path because XX who is an immigrant from Nigeria just like them is doing it, without knowing jack about why it is okay for XX to and may not be okay for them. A good number of people here still have businesses, investments or spouses in naija that funds their living expense here, some came with fat savings, and some agbayas like me are still single, such category of persons have a large margin of error for their plans that you may not have. Point is while you get advice, try to also learn if its applicable to your situation, don't just jump in on everything said. We are all different, there are people who for the sake of their kids wouldn't mind anything Canada throws at them. On the other hand, some people by virtue of their psychological wiring wouldn't find fulfillment and happiness without their career. Know yourself and know what sacrifices makes sense for you and configure your plans accordingly, don't get bullied by what the majority thinks because at the end of the day your truth wouldn't subject itself to an election.

Hello,

From my knowledge, most schools want to make sure you have at least 75% in your last two years of study (last 60 credit hours of study), it is a prerequisite for a consideration for a master's admission.
This 75% is 75% of 5.0 CGPA. So calculate the GPA of the last 2 years over 5.0.
Also, you could use an online calculator for this.

Good luck.

iblion:
please how do we convert our NIgerian CGPA to canadian CGPA, most schools ask for 3.o or 2.5 CGPA. urgent help guys. thanks

Hello,

You could post it here and people will help in its interpretation.

Johnsonkelvin:
any help

@Gunit87
I don't think it'd have any negative effect(s). I did this too; I didn't know what a UCI was, so in all 3 applications I didn't write any.

makano:
You should have written ur UCI if u have applied before.. You only leave it blank if u are applying for the first time.. I hope ur action wont have any negative effect on ur application..

How did your friend pay school fees without receiving admission letter? How then did he know the amount to pay?

micromax:
Hi,
I need someone to shed more light here plz, am naive here, a friend of mine got admission into Dominican university Ontario Canada, and he has paid the school fees but he hasn't received any admission letter since February.
I hope he's still on the track?....

Please try to get it to 8 or 10m before you apply. Without funding, that amount is low.
