JMG12:
Yes, send it to both Kenya and London they will respond, hope the delay turns into testimony for you.

Hi @JMG12 please I sent you a message here and on Instagram. Please do you think I should add some more money to my POF and send a webform with the new update.. I submitted my study permit application Dec 23 and did biometrics Jan 5. Then the exchange rate was about 650, now the exchange rate has doubled.. I submitted $53,000 ( I am going alone, I am not married , 18k for tuition and 24k for living expenses, as my program is 14months , leaving me with $10k extra to spare) but now with this volatile exchange rate my POF has depreciated in value to $32k (so technically does not cover my living expenses and tuition anymore) . My application is 8weeks now, and the only thing showing is Biometrics and Background check -IN PROGRESS, Eligibility and Medical says -NOT STARTED.. I am really worried, do I put more cash in my account and send a webform with the new statement balance?

Osemigho:
All this una argument no concern me. My only vex is for those that quote long text.

Biko, when you want to reply a long text, endeavour to delete most of it, or replace most of it with a brief ".....", to the most important part that concern you. Thank you.

It will end with praises.

Thank you for this post.. Its really challenging keeping up with replies to long post without cutting the original posts short.. Making the thread unnecessarily long with no major progress..

Gud day Huz, is it ok to use same passport photo submitted in previous study permit application 9months ago to CIC now for a new study permit app? Tnx

Hi, i used the same passport photograph (Soft copy) from an old CIC application for my new CIC application & it wasn't a problem.. The applications were 11months apart..

Simeon244:

Exactly what was also done for mine...
Also, as i couldn't sign electronically, i printed the family information form, signed and dated it, scanned and uploaded it like that...

#smiles#....you didn't have to print them out or sign anything physically.. Once you finished filling each form and at the end it says Click 'Validate.: You have signed ( you'll see that your name appears on the top right corner of each form)...it will generate a Bar Code after validating.
Additionally , when you finally press 'submit', a spot would come up where you fill your name at the end of the application, after confirming from you that all you have filled is correct.. That is your final electronic signature..

getgeorgio:
Hello House, I am completing my TRV application online and want to know if it is permissible to scan my completed family information form (IMM5645) along with few other supporting documents like my marriage and children birth certificates as a single file?

Your guidance is highly appreciated.

Scan as many documents as you can, convert them to Pdf files and merge the Pdf files as one file using any application eg Pdf merger. Then upload it.
To illustrate, you can merge your marriage certificate & child birth certificate together with your Passport/Visa pages and upload in the spot for Passport..

Idowu3080:
Hello House,

Please i need a clarification as to the mistake which has been the order of the day. It has kept me ...

I applied for a visa lottery in 2013 to Canada through Jonathan King Ltd in 2013

Thanks. You response will be appreciated as not to make *mistakes*

Canada doesn't do Visa Lottery, so the one you've presumed to have done is most likely not a legit scheme. So it is safe to say in your application that you have not been refused a Canadian Visa. If you however have been refused a US visa, please say 'Yes'.. If there's a part for you to state the reason why, please give a reason why you feel you were refused a Visa. it can range from nervousness during your interview to not being financially buoyant as at the time of applying, reasons are surplus for you to be honest in your application... Honesty is the best policy...

Ifyemekaonwuka:
Good day everyone! Im new to naira land and ive been reading through this thread. i will like to state my situation below and......

i will really appreciate if some can give me advise on if my profile is strong enough to convince a VO to approve a study permit.

Thank you very much.

Tell the VO all this in your SOP as you have told us, you shouldn't have a problem.

wealth360:



Bro. Pls want to ask you dis. When u link ur paper app to online. Will there be a change in the biometric row? Becos till now is still saying not needed at ds time. Does it mean the application has not been touched?

it does not mean the application has not been touched..Infact most times, it remains that way till a decision is made on the application. If you have done biometrics, do not worry, they will access it when they need from their computers without it reflecting on your page..

wealth360:



Is there a way to reverse that? I too made a mistake of clicking that.

Just un-tick & update..

Chibabe4Christ:
PLEASE NOBLE HOUSE COME TO RESCUE, THIS A MONTH PLUS I APPLIED FOR STUDENT VISA AND I JUST GOT A FROM CIC THAT MY APPLICATION HAVE NOT BE UPDATED AND THANK YOU FOR MY PATIENCE...... WHAT WAS THE MEANING OF THAT WHEN I SHOULD BE GETTINN AN EMAIL FOR MY MEDICALS. HOUSE AM WORRIED OOOOOOOOOOOOO.AM STILL WAITING FOR AN.ANSWERS PLEASE..........

There is nothing wrong with your application, you must have ticked that you would like to receive 'monthly updates' from the embassy on your CIC page its an auto generated message ..Expect that every month through out your application process till your application is Closed.

After 4 weeks of online submission, I got mail from CIC,thinking its medical mail, but lo and behold, 'There have been no updates to your application (*********) since you last checked your account. Thank you for your patience. 'who is a witness to such?

You must have ticked on your CIC page that you would want a monthly update from CIC about your application, that is the update you are getting.

Attach an SOP or LOE next time, that is the only avenue for you to let the VO understand the reason for your choice of study even though you have earlier qualifications that are different.. But it may be wise to get your gcms files first before you reapply though.

Mattezo:
Hello guys am applying for my study permit online, and it's only one place I could upload my documents, I cannot upload multiples and I have several documents to upload, I heard you have to merge everything into one PDF, is this true? And besides won't it be confusing to the Visa Officials.. Please guys I really need your Input on this..
Those of you that have applied successfully online, Kindly clarify this

Thanks

Guys please say something, those of you that have applied online, how d you do it?

Guys please any update??Kindly assist

Anybody in the house should please respond to me..

Thanks

Use the Application online called 'PDF Merger' or any PDF merge app you like to merge your multiple PDF files... But merge them orderly.. For example anything that has to do with finances like your sponsors account and letter from your sponsor, bank statements, proof of land ownerships etc merge them as one file and upload under the section on your CIC page that says 'Proof of finance'.. If you want to upload Academic files like your Certificate merge it together with your admission letter from your canada school and upload it under 'Acceptance Letter'.. If you are doing upfront medical and police report merge it with your Letter of Explanation and upload it in that section.
In the end the VO will print them all out and assess them.

Hello Edirex,
I sent an email to the Canada embassy at Accra, Ghaba on Monday. Stating cleary that I want to know why my application status have nt changed since last year. Their response was that my app is still in queue for review. That they will contact me wen a decision is made on my app. my question is this, wat have they been doing since last year? Reviewing applications? Am nt happy at all.

Fill the web form .. So that the guys in charge they can put a bit of pressure on them in Ghana...
The response you got from them in Ghana is an automated message.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp

AYMONI:
please, I need an urgent response to my plea! I applied for study permit since last year on 1st July, 2016. Since then my application status have not changed. My people what do I do?

Is your application paper or online?

edirex:


You are not alone, i applied since 19th of July 2016, have not heard any reply from them

Are your applications online or paper?

edirex:
Hello Guru's,

Its 30 weeks since i submitted my application via paper route to the embassy in ghana for a study permit, am yet to get any positive response from them. Have sent mails via the email address and the CIC website, all i get is:"Kindly note that your application is still in queue for processing. No further action is needed from you at this time."

I never thought i would wait this long for it. Just confused

i really need your advice

THanks

Sorry Pal... I can only imagine what you are going through.. Stay strong!..

Adedrizzy:


Sorry, did you mean to say it was transferred to Accra Ghana? Cos i don't think it can be transferred to Lagos and still be under processing. I believe a decision has been made for it to be transferred to Lagos and no need for medicals. You can clear me up should in case i didn't get you.

If a decision has been made it will be 'dispatched in the message ' but transfered means its gone from VFS office (the people who handle the collection) & transfered to Canada (Lagos ) Embassy (which we know is handled in Accra especially student permits).

gkgraphics:


Thanks for the reply
I applied on 11 Nov for PGC sustainable agriculture Fleming college
Is vfs going to contact me on when to submit passport
How long does it take from submission to collection
Thanks again

Yes, they will send you a message to come submit your passport. There is no fixed time but it can range from 5-14days as observed from previous processing.

gkgraphics:
Good evening everyone,
I just received a mail from CIC to add my degree or diploma certificate to the documents I uploaded before
Also I got a request to for medicals too
My questions
Will they accept my statement of result instead of certificate since lautech has been on strike for 8 months now
Does the medical request mean anything about my chances of getting the permit since school resumed on 9th of January

A Statement of result can be submitted as you have no other alternative at the moment.. Like the TRV doctor mentioned you may have to attach a new offer letter if it is requested, but if you are sure that you are actually to resume late, if a new offer letter is requested attach your email correspondences with the school asking to come late and their reply that you can.
Be prayerful about your approval, its looks like thats were the need for the additional documents is headed..#smiles#..so stay strong!
When did you apply online?

cube2nerdy:


Ok thanks a lot. I guess I should contact the hospital for the UMI number then.
Pls could you provide me with the exact mail I could send the number to?

Yes the UMI of your medical the hospital sent.. the email is Accra.immigration@international.gc.ca

cube2nerdy:
Hello y'all.
I applied for study permit visa to Canada on Oct 26, 2016 online. Did biometics Nov 9 or thereabout and got medical mail Jan 17.

The thing is I did medical upfront at Prime Medical Consultants Sept 15 in Port Harcourt but somehow my sis (in Canada) missed uploading the medical sheet when submitting my application. I went back to the said hospital last two wks thursday. I later got to know they forwarded my results the following sunday. My account still hasnt been updated yet. I was even at d hospital last friday and they claimed to have sent my results still. My sis has also sent an inquiry to cic online on that (last thursday).

Pls good people what do I do? Has there been a slightly similar case like mine that I could learn from?

The hospital might have sent it but you have to send the embassy the UMI number on the Upfront medical sheet via email so they can access it and update your medicals.

Thanks. I applied 3rd oct 2016, online application got my passport request 16th january 2017. Its my 3rd attempt actually, i didn't do anything exceptionally new except send them a calm but angry LOE telling them its my last attempt, with a notarized paper showing my willingness to come back and prayers. it took me a year in all.

Wao!... such drive at 3rd attempt... Lol @Calm but angry LOE, i can only imagine.. Well done dear & Congratulations again...

Hi everyone. This wonderful forum has helped me a lot. I just got a mail to submit my passport for a Canadian study permit. My passport expires Jan 2018, I'm going for a 1 year program starting March 2017. It was stated in the email that they won't issue me a visa beyond the expiry date of my passport.. Can I renew my passport even though i still have 6 months more?

Congratulations!..Ofcourse you can renew your passport just like @successtouch said .. When did you apply for your student permit?
