How come it's not solid enough for a tie ? I've applied several times for Visas (not necessarily a Student Visa) and I've included my Rental Agreements. That plus studies has only been my tie to any country that I've lived in. You just never know.
In terms of Student Visa applications, it may not really hold ground as it's a long term visa. This is helpful only when you apply for a Visitor's visa. I wouldn't count a lot on it though but it's not harmful to throw it out there too.

pampem:


Rental agreement? tie? this is not an investment nor property that yields income. that's not solid enough for a tie

Yes, that's not bad at all. Current applicants will be handled this month/April. After then, September in-takes.

ExeatGhana:


Thanks Bro
Am looking at first week in June
8 weeks from that will be August which is not bad

I don't know for sure. I've seen applicants who've used two sponsors and still added their statement of account.

goalburner:


Boss, what is the maximum number of sponsors I can have for study permit?

You just clearly stated that was last year, right ? And I don't think you read my comment properly. We all know Embassies will not bounce your application no matter when you submit but will not process it at this moment because right now they are working on May in-takes. And you applied last year January, right? This isn't January, this is April. They had lots of time and less applications to handle when you applied. Most applications for May in-takes haven't even been submitted then - as people are still waiting for admission letters from their schools in Canada. Right now, VOs are busy working on Applications for students who start classes next month. I don't think they'll attend to those who are resuming January next year.

And last but not the least, your case is different from the OP's. I still find it hard to believe that you got a TRV in January when you are supposed to start classes in September. If you had gotten your TRV in January then you must have filed for visa in December. How did the school give you an admission letter for a fall in-take when they haven't even finished evaluating for Winter I'm not saying this isn't possible - I'm just saying there is only a handful of applicants that would get their visa at such time frames.

Bobola8x:


False information. You have no proof they are evaluating only May intake now as you claimed. Last year, my admission was for Fall 2015 and i applied and got my trv by January. They answered me even before most May applicant I know on this thread then. And it's. Ever too early!! The OP can apply now

Read the threads from Part 1 or 2. And do some surfing on vfs website

goalburner:


Can you please post the link for paper route guide for me?

A rental agreement between you and your landlord that states the duration of time you'll be occupying the rented apartment. It's a tie too. If you don't own a house of your own.

goalburner:



Please what did u mean @bolded?

I do know biometrics is compulsory for the application but not sure if they have other VFS centers where they have the option to do so.

goalburner:



Thank you.

Also I read that all Nigerians must give their biometrics and the service is only available in Abuja. Is it really compulsory to travel that far?

I don't think any of the two methods is faster than the other but I strongly recommend the paper route. The online can be a hassle for a less techy person. Online payments, having to merge files to submit because there is no additional field to upload your files to. But the paper route, you can add whatever you want to; pictures, extra certs etc - all you gotta do on the checklist is just check the additional documents box and you're good to go.

goalburner:


Please which one would you recommend to be faster for new applicants? Online or Paper?

Nothing good comes easy. But, the PGWP is far most the easiest permit to get so far. You can even work legally while studying and once done, apply for a post graduate work permit which can be given for 8 months - 3 years. The PGWP depends on whatever course you studied tho. If it's a 2 year course, you can sit back and hang in there for a 3 year PGWP.

Adazlolly:
Please guys seriously how easy is it to stay back, get your papers and work legally in Canada after studies (masters)?..

HUH?

fctftfyh:
Contact with your Indian embassy. That'll be pretty good way to have the genuine news and information.

Noice!! CC: Ay50. Pre-enrolment has started
@Faithdamsel, when are you pre-enrolling?

Faithdamsel:


Yeso, it has started. Its every Friday.

This your comment get as e be. Both Paper and Online applicants are treated the same. Some people who have applied via the paper route around the same timeframe as yours haven't heard back too. Be patient, my brother. It will turn out well.

And going to Ghana with your lawyer, do you think that will help ? Why don't you submit a Case Specific Enquiry ?

bigyemi2000:
Warning: Please do not apply via online route...have applied since February 18th and am resuming May 9th and I haven't heard anything from them..Those that submitted via Paper route in March have been called for medical...I am going to Ghana today with my lawyer..I don't understand the delay..

January 2017 ? I think it's a bit early. The officers are only evaluating May intakes now and not for fall. Either ways, you can submit but I believe the processing won't start until about months after.

All the best.

ExeatGhana:
hello House
please I got admission for January 2017.
I want to apply for Study permit but my question is isn't it too early to submit application for visa since am 8 Months away from start of school?
is it advisable to apply now??

I'm not sure you read the OP's initial comment. They had a letter that was conditional. OP plans to still submit the conditional even after fulfilling the conditions but will submit it with their app ONLY if the unconditional doesn't arrive in time. My advice, again, would be to wait and submit with the unconditional letter. The VO officer would probably take them more serious when they find out the letter is unconditional rather than having to spend time verifying if the conditions are met which will end up wasting both the officer's time as well as the applicant. This causes delay.

metrecube:

Conditional offer letter is a correct letter. Many nairalanders have gotten trv with conditional letter. It will fly if he can include evidence of meeting those conditions like the mail they sent to him about gotten d transcript. All the best to all the trv hopefuls.

Are the dates out yet ?

Faithdamsel:
This thread is too quiet. Has anyone done pre-enrolment?

Stop spamming threads with your ads. PLEASE!

vdavydenko:
Hi there! I am finally going to Canada this year! Where do you recommend me to go in Toronto? I've found some tours on https://izi.travel/en/tourguides-in-canada website, and they look really nice. What do you think about them? Maybe you can recommend me some sites and attractions there too

You'll apply for a student visa without the correct letter? My advice is to please be patient. Don't take chances. Whatever is needed, please wait to receive it and apply. They might return your documents if they don't find the correct letter attached to it.

All the best.

ugosshhh:


tnx....I have sent the transcript, it was received yesterday. But I want to apply fo TRv by friday next week latest...so am hoping they make the unconditional letter available before then if not, I will apply without it

Was your application on ontariocolleges.ca ? If it is, please read

3jayz:
[color=#000099][/color]
It depends on how you applied and got the admission to start with. For those attending colleges in Ontario whose offers of admission come through www.ontariocolleges.ca, accepting another admission makes the previous offer void. However, if the deadline for acceptance is not yet breached you could just hold action while your visa application is still processing.
Please note this information is strictly on ontariocolleges as I do not know the workings of other provinces/institutions

Teehp:
Thanks a lot

Why so ?

bigyemi2000:
Please know one should apply via online route again..Thank you

Yes, you can if you want to. It has got nothing to do with your current application. You have applied with a letter from a different school, right ? Many people apply to many schools, accept some but end up applying with one.

Teehp:
Good day house,please can I accept another offer of admission while my study permit application is still being processed with cic. ( I just feel I should accept the other offer in case I might need it later on)

So you mean me responding to this same question you posted earlier was a complete waste of time ?

tolumuntari:
can i goor my medicals before i start my visa online application?

1. NO, Just show up at VFS and drop your application.
2. Yes, they collect your passport. You don't get it back. Except you plan to go via the online route.
3. I believe so. But you'll still have to fill him as a dependent on the family form and tick the box where it says accompanies you. I am not sure of your child's age but he may not need to appear for medicals.

Please do try to call VFS and confirm no 3 with them.
Hope this helps

3jayz:
Good day everyone,
I recently joined/ started following this forum as I am in the process of submitting my application for a study permit. I have a few questions I am hopeful someone will be able to answer to guide me.

1. I plan to apply through the paper route, do I need to have an appointment to drop off my documents or do I just show up at the VFS office and be attended to?

2. Will my passport be collected and kept for the duration of the processing, or do I get it back if I intend to use it for an international trip while the process is still ongoing?

3. I intend to go to Canada With my child who is a U.S. Citizen by birth. I suppose since the U.S. Is a visa exempt country I don't have to include his passport in my application

I look forward to receiving a response from someone....soon
Cheers

You mean appear for your medicals before the application ? If that's what you mean, then yes. It's called an Upfront Medicals.

tolumuntari:
Please can i have my medical before applying for the study permit?

Thank you! God bless you so much, dallyemmy. This is a blessing to us

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: WEDNESDAY 13 APRIL 2016

THEME: THE SOVEREIGN GOD

Memorise:
I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. Isaiah 43:15

Read: Daniel 5:20-21

20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:

21 And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.

Message

After King Nebuchadnezzar was deposed from his kingly throne, his glory was taken away from him and he was disgraced to the point of eating grass like oxen, he came back to his senses to realise that the Most High God is the ultimate ruler in the kingdom of men. The problem with the king was that he got carried away with his achievements, thinking that they were the bye-products of his wisdom and physical power. This is the problem with many people like him through the ages. Any achievement that will not lead us back to the original Achiever could be very deadly. Jesus Christ spoke of a rich farmer who was boasting of his achievements in agriculture, only for his life to be taken away from him that same night.

“And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?” Luke 12:19-20

Apostle James warned against being boastful without giving consideration to the sovereignty of God in James 4:13-15.

“Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.”

It is presumptuous for someone who does not know whether he will survive the next day to commence planning a programme that will take place in six months time. It is only the Almighty God that has the power to will and to do. One can see the cause of the calamity that befell kings Pharaoh and Herod. In case of King Herod, he took not only the glory that belonged to God but God’s sovereignty. The consequence was fatal because he was stricken by an angel of the Lord and he was eaten up by worms immediately.

“And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.” Acts 12:21-23

May the sovereignty of God be made positively manifest in our lives so that we can live in the supernatural from now on in Jesus’ name.

Action Point:

Always acknowledge the sovereignty of God in all you do so that you may be guided aright.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Samuel 1-2 and Proverbs 9:13-10:7

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 7: HOLY HOLY HOLY, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY

1. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee;
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity!

2. Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
Who wert and art and evermore shalt be.

3. Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee,
Though the eye made blind by sin thy glory may not see,
Only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

4. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth and sky and sea;
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity![img][/img][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]

tolumuntari:
please what address should my boss write on the refernce letter tjat i intend submitting with my application? please help

An admission letter can be one of two types: a conditional and an unconditional letter. In both cases, the CIC will reach out to your school for verification. If it's conditional, they'll ask if the student has fulfilled the conditions. These things work internally. One of the reasons why there is an International Student Office. They call, the office keys in your details and checks for your eligibility criteria. If they are fulfilled and matches, then things are good. Otherwise, doubts arises. etc

SegunWamiri:


It's quite absurd for one to think that they won't confirm the admission of course but do you think it might be as detailed as asking about the student's deposit if it was paid by school's deadline, how much has been paid, etc?

Congratulations.
Another breath of fresh air. Could you please share more info? When did you submit ? Anything you'd like to share with prospective applicants.

dddrexjr:

I understand how you feel. Like I said earlier, everything you need and will ever need pertaining to the Visa application is on this thread. The pre-enrolment starts soon. You can start working on the DOV thing now.

Ay50:
am just a bit confuse danindia, i wish i could know how much everything will cost, especially the authentication and translation.... am not from a rich background am only hooing on my first class degree

Ay50, I sincerely do not understand you at all. It's only been 12 hours or so you mentioned that you're fed up with Italy application and won't be applying and that you are taking up the Germany offer. What exactly do you want to do ? In 24 hours, you've said 2 different things. Studying abroad isn't like a walk in a park. All this translation stuff is on VFS website. Please take time and read the thread, you'll find answers to your questions.

Ay50:
i really need help on the translation and authentication stuff, where can i translate my result, and how much will both translation and authentication cost me? faith damsel i really need ur help pls with God

CC: faithdamsel
