TravelRe: Nigerian Students In Canada: How Do You Survive? by CassetteBoy(m): 11:30pm On Aug 31, 2016
Hi everyone,
just got in..

1. Bring your Nigerian driver's license. You'll convert it to the Canadian one and avoid some tests.
2. If you haven't got permanent accommodation prior to arriving and don't have a friend you'll be staying with. Pay/book for several days of temporary accommodation ahead. If you find a place within those days, you should be able to get a refund for the unused days from the hotel/hostel. I paid for three days and almost became homeless cos I hadn't found somewhere permanent when it elapsed. God just provided me an alternative that night and more.
3. Most foodstuff are here. Focus on clothes and necessary electronics.

I'll update more things as I remember..

Once more. If you are preparing to travel and need affordable air tickets, pm me.

I'm heading to Toronto and got my ticket for 267k. Someone should please check the price of getting to Toronto on Google.

My fellow jjc(I'm one too), some provinces have more than one airport, check which is most convenient for you before purchasing.

Good day, please I need advise from someone here, I'm a student here in Nigeria and I'll be graduating in 2017. I wanna attend an educational conference in University of Toronto for my project research purpose. I have gotten a letter of identification from the dean of students in my school, I have paid for the conference and gotten my receipt, I have also gotten an invitation letter, my eldest brother is sponsoring everything(both flight and hotel). Problem is this is my first time of traveling out if I don't have a travel history and the conference is to hold from 14- 16th October. please can anyone advise me on what documents I need to gather? and do I need medical exam? and which is faster? online or manual application? thanks
just in case..for cheap accommodation near UofT... Google "The only backpacker's inn"

Even though I don't live in Canada I still have opinions about it haha! I have in the recent past briefly visited Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia. What specific questions do you want me to answer? I will let you know what I can answer and what I can't. I will mention some of the other gurus (living/studying in Canada) on the thread to answer questions about their respective provinces if the answers can't be googled!
man, you are a sort of knowledge guru. one could easily mistake you for a Canadian citizen.
well, I was just hoping for unpublished knowledge. Say, which provinces have high P.R/career prospects. Which ones have laws that may not suit internationals and all that.
Truth is, I will still find all these out when I land...i just hope it won't take too long

hello all,

please let's endeavor to only come here to complain of our waiting times, only if it has exceeded normal stipulation.
You are a may/june applicant and you're complaining, what should a march/april applicant do?? It's not funny but selfish
You are setting a precedence for july applicants who'll soon say "my app is 5days now without response, I'm worried"
Processing time is currently 12weeks, please let's relate here on that term.

what if the applicant wants to change sponsor to his employer how will it be possible to pay through the company's account taking into consideration that his tuition fees has already been paid through another account.
You would explain everything explicitly in your SOP
TravelRe: Travelling To Canada Part 10 by CassetteBoy(m): 12:36pm On Jul 14, 2016
[/b]Praise The Lord everyone!
I got my medical mail some minutes back.
Points to note:
1. Humans are insatiable. For very long I was worried of being delayed cos my app is 13+wks. Currently I'm worried of how long my medical would take before the embassy receive it and ask for my passport. Am I serious at all?

2. Applications are being attended to at random. When apps come in, they are shared amongst attendants/VO's apparently. Each VO has his/her own efficiency rate. You may submit before someone but that person would get medical/approval before you cos of the speed difference between your attendant and his. We should stop worrying and start praying for the specific attendants on our cases for God-speed.

3. Everything has it's time. When this thread was still young, online route was exceptionally the best. Currently paper route is leading the pack. I don't know the reason for this, but I'll personally advice upcoming applicants to use the paper route for swiftness. Who knows, online route may rise again next year, as everything has it's time...just monitor the trend of your time.

4. Do upfront medicals. If you know you are really sure of coming to Canada. That is, even if they delay you once/twice you will still try again aka Canada is do-or-die. DO UPFRONT MEDICALS BEFORE APPLYING. Currently I am trying to do my medicals cos I didn't know this before hand. If not for medicals, today would have been my passport request. I bless my God still, at all at all na e bad pass.

That being said, please I need expert advice regarding my medicals @thesoj, @Onyeoma3, @Siga, @justwise, @daveboiz and any other helpful individual

Where do I go?
Children's practice: 8-10am tomorrow
Deliver to embassy within 7 working days

Hi guys, my fiancee's application was delayed yesterday as a result of insufficient funds. She used her employer as sponsor and the VO thinks she wont be able to study in canada without having to work. We intend to re-apply cos we dont give up, my question is does any one know the deadline in which students must resume after the official resumprion date. She is going for an LLM in university of Toronto. I would appreciate response from those who are already in Canada or in Toronto and are very familiar with resumption dates amd deadlines
2-3wks max after official resumption.
why didn't she use you as sponsor? Her employer has to provide convincing documents to show intent of sponsorship and probably pay part of her fees through their own account.

I'm heading to UofT too, see y'all there!

I got a mail from CIC yesterday...it was a refusal.
cheesy The VO handling my file must have been high on some very cheap substance cause he said I had insufficient funds and my travel history.
Anyways that's his/her opinion and he/she is entitled to it. A BIG thank you to thesoj and khalesi for your time in guiding me through the application process. I have no intention of reapplying guys so there is NO NEED to throw a pity party or shell out words of wisdom. grin

I wish all those still expectant of TRV the best in their application.

New sponsor has around 200,000usd

get convincing statements of sponsorship from them.
your uncle could provide a document that shows his relationship with your dad/mom
the other should state how long he's known you, and any dealings he's had with either of your parents

Hello,

I got refused on the basis of insufficient funds yesterday. I used my uncle's bank statements for the past 5months. I am sure he touched the money in the account.

Now I want to re-apply again. If my other relative (new sponsor) also happens to be an uncle, can I use his statement together with the old one or I could snub the old one and use the statement of the new sponsor.

Will it create an impression that I am trying to deceive the VO?

Thanks
how much was in your sponsor's account?
how much is your tuition for one year?
how much is in your new sponsor's account?
