Dera12345:
DENIED!! Please I need an advice.. GURUS Pls Help
Am 23yrs graduated 2016 [Bsc in Biochemistry with a 2.1], youth service 2016-2017(Ministry of environment and mineral resources), I have a professional certificate in Health safety security and environment (HSSE level 1,2 &3) which I did during my service year. I applied and got admission for a 2yrs post secondary diploma in ( Healthcare and environmental services management) in centennial college. Tutition fees paid. $8000cad
I was denied based on family ties, purpose of visit, and personal assets and financial status. My most confusing problem is in this personal assets and financial status, I indicated my dad is my sponsor, provided his company bank statement of #700million inflow and #40Million as closing balance, his CAC, memorandum of association, with his sponsorship letter, he is the ceo and signatory to the acc, also submitted a board of resolution letter from the company written by my mum with company letterhead because she is one of the directors.
I don’t have a personal landed property though my father has lands and houses, I filled in my form that am currently working in that same my dad’s company as the company’s secretary, which I joined this year Jan after service in dec, no employment proof was added like employment, introduction or leave Letter, as I joined the group late.
Since my admission has been deferred to next year fall, I plan to start crediting my acc with 100k monthly with my father’s company name as depositor name ,as per salary for the next 6months, and this will sum up to like #980000 as I want to present my personal SOA in my next application.
I don’t know if the VO will check if that money have been entering since this year Jan I said I started working, or do they just go through the submitted bank statement?
Hope this can solve the personal assets issue , points on other refusal reasons are welcomed. Already ordered my GCMS note but I still need more clarification
THANKS
Just to mention really, I ain't a guru and I do not want to be so called. So, straight to your inquiry...

If you ask me, your reason for denial is not because of your finances. As I read through, what struck me was your choice of a post secondary school diploma when you clearly stated that you have completed a B.Sc. in Biochemistry.

The reasonableness of your degree is the problem (i.e. the purpose of visit). As a 2.1 graduate, what you have chosen to do in Canada is not reasonable (in the language of V.Os). As such, the officer feels you are not a genuine student. A proper career progression will either be a PGD or Master's. In fact, a Master's.

I'm afraid you may be denied again regardless of how many times you apply except you look into this issue. My advice is for you to look for a Master's degree in your field and request for a refund from Centennial. You will only be charged $200 Cad.

I'm sorry for the turn of events. Please don't give up. Nothing should discourage you because you have all it takes. Shalom!

In all sincerity, I think it's not all of us that can get things done by ourselves. Some would, definitely, need agents no matter the amount of info shared here.

I won't subscribe to an agent myself but I have come to realise that everyone is not me. For that, I'll say if you have enough money to pay, just do your diligence by reading reviews of available agents online.

And trust me, not all agents are careless. Some of them are actually professionals at what they claim to do.

Morning @all. Please, let me just drop this for those of us going the paper route. The era of "just get there early and walk in" seems to be over. I did the same and discovered it's no longer working. Here is the latest.

Go online and book an appointment. Again, here is the link https://www.vfsglobal.ca/IRCC-Appointment/

Print your appointment page and that with your passport will grant you entrance. In fact, let's say you managed to enter by whatever means, the first thing our friends on the counter would ask for is your appointment slip.

I'm sending in this so we can learn from each other's experience and get things done easier and quickly.

Shalom.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 14 by dedecoder: 10:02am On Aug 28, 2018
Please use this link

https://www.vfsglobal.ca/IRCC-Appointment/

You would have to first set up your email and details (sign up) as you have them on your passport after which you can now book the appointment.

Yes, biometric would be done the same day. Cost as at when I submitted N55,520 (total in all).

dimitriy:
Good morning coach! please i already left home without booking appointment smiley . paper route through Lagos. but thank God I can spend more days here. how should i book appointment please!!!!!

Also, for paper submission , will i do the biometrics the same day of submission? thank you.

MISFITrep:
Quick one please
For paper application, do you have to book an appointment at VFS?
How should our letters be addressed?
Are imm1294e, imm5645e and imm5257 the only CIC documents we are to fill and print out online?
Is the signature done with biro?
Thank you
Yes, don't be like me that had to spend two days in Lagos because I didn't book an appointment. As it is currently, no appointment, no entrance. So, book an appointment at VFS website or navigate your way through with the help of Mr. Google. Booking an appointment is free (Just to mention) but if by mistake you refuse to do so before leaving your home, you can spend up to 5k trying to get that done. Thanks to our beloved hustlers.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 14 by dedecoder: 10:50pm On Aug 26, 2018
Dear brother (hopefully, I'm correct), worry not yourself on your freelancing job. It is never an illegal business anywhere in the world. That you are having Canadian clients won't affect your chances of approval. Include it and back it up with relevant and available shreds of evidence.

Just to allay your fears. I'm a freelance writer too with clients in the US and Australia. Since what I'm doing isn't criminal or unlawful, why shouldn't I let the visa officer know? Won't that explain my study gap for the past two years? Except you have real reasons to fear, please go ahead and include it as part of your work experience. If earning from an application on iOS or a particular platform is illegal, I believe that as a Mobile app developer, you would have known. As such, if this is the case, refrain from towing that line (and probably stop it altogether).

By the way, the important aspects of your application are

1. Proof of enough finances

2. Proof that you would leave Canada after your studies

3. Purpose of visit.

Every other thing apart from these 3s are _jara_ Start working on these things and stop worrying on your freelancing job.

Shalom!

Any help with this?
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 14 by dedecoder: 8:12pm On Aug 24, 2018
My sincere apologies for responding late.

There is no section in the form where you are asked the grade or class you graduated with but in your SOP, you would have to touch on the reason you are settling for a PGD instead of master's.

What I am saying is that you should resist the temptation of saying you would have gone for master's if not for your 2.2. That can create some concerns in the VOs mind. ("Can" emphasised).

Simply tow the less complicated line of arguing that PGD training offered in Colleges are more project-focused and detailed in practical... (You get what I mean now?).

Getting a master's with a 2.2 is not completely impossible but you would have gotten 5 PGD offers before getting one.

Shalom!

edmasta01:
Wow! Thanks so much for your detailed explanation dedecoder! I sincerely appreciate you for taking the time to write this out. Respect! You are right about prayers. Its super important too.

In your last sentence, you mentioned to "never use 2.2. as an argument for settling for PGD. Are you saing this in regards to when filling out documentation to be submitted to the VO?

Or do you mean that with a 2.2, it's possible to apply for a masters degree?
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 14 by dedecoder: 8:00pm On Aug 24, 2018
You do not need IELTS or TOEFL for any of the three colleges you requested info for. For Cambrian, Seneca, and Centennial, please prepare the following on ground:

1. Application fee ($200 for Centennial; free for Cambrian, $95 for Seneca)

2. Passport Data page.

3. Degree Certificate.

4. Transcript.

5. Curriculum Vitae

6. Affidavit if there is (or are) any discrepancy on your degree cert. Say DOB or order in which your name was printed.

7. WAEC certificate plus scratch card (applicable only to Cambrian).

8. Ability to read and fill simple form online.

Shikena!

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 14 by dedecoder: 10:47pm On Aug 23, 2018
Well, whether undergrad, PG, or Masters; in fact, PHD, applicants would always have to prove reasonably that they would leave Canada after their authorized stay. So, it's not a question for PGD applicants alone.

To me personally, if you can't prove or argue that you would leave Canada after completing PGD, you hardly can prove same for masters. Just get your acts together and work on any of the following as possible ways of convincing the VO.

1. Family ties (parents, spouse, siblings)

2. Job or work (if applicable)

3. Career prospect at home if 2 above isn't applicable. As in, you have to justify the huge sum you are about to expend on a PGD. Is there a booming job here in your field that you think can offset the cost?

4. Relationship (are you engaged if not married?)

5. Have you traveled and returned before? That's a good point too.

6. You've got a landed property? Get it surveyed in your name.

7. Prayer. I'm sorry I put this last; it should actually be the first. You can include all these things and the VOs would still say they aren't satisfied. And guess what? With God, you can satisfy a vo with *just* one of it.

Please take point 7 very seriously and give all your very best in gathering the appropriate documents. Once this is done, swing to action and God's grace would fill up the rest.

*Before I close; never use your 2.2 as an argument for settling for PGD.* Shalom!

edmasta01:
Good evening everyone, So I am advising my younger sister to study further in Canada (rather than the Uk that she originally intended). She has a 2.2 in her Bachelors Degree in Pure & Applied Physics.

She currently works in Marketing/Business management in a reputable organization. I read somewhere on here that the Canadian Immigration rarely grant a visa for Postgraduate Diploma courses as it's difficult to prove that the candidate will leave at the end of their study.

How true is this, considering that she is unable to do a masters without doing a pgd due to her bachelors degree being a 2.2

I'll appreciate any/every advice I can get. Thanks
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 14 by dedecoder: 6:33pm On Aug 18, 2018

2. Can I go and return the same day (location: ife)

3. What are the forms I am expected to fill at home before getting there or will everything be done there?

SportsRe: Russia 2018: Profiling Nigeria’s World Cup Opponents by dedecoder: 4:36pm On Jun 04, 2018
The team with the greatest teamwork would win this cup and not necessarily the team with the highest number of star players. After all, it's going to be 11 vs 11. The Super Eagles can spring surprises and end up topping the group. Typically, it takes a team of average players with a radical commitment to succeed to win competitions like this.

The only question I cannot answer for the Eagles is if they are hungry for success. The manner in which they started against England does not suggest a team ready for business. I hope someone talks with and to them sha grin

AYFikayomi:
I might be wrong, but I believe the answer should be conception. Sex determination actually occurs after fertilization.


After the sperm cell hits the egg (fertilization), cell divison and diffrentiation takes place for two weeks before the sex is actually determined. Ofcourse, the determination is a consequence of ferterlization ( X or Y), but the stage in which it occurs is conception.


Conception being the act of implanting blastocytes in the fallopian tube is actually a new definition by American Pro-abortion scholars and is not generally accepted.

My text books and my biology teacher tell me its conception. I'd welcome superior arguments though...
The answer is at conception. Please disregard fertilization. Won't say more than that

No mind them. As if the EFCC was not responding to a petition written against the VC. The man took money that doesn't belong to him and doled it out like father Christmas. With all the dirty stinking hostels and lecture halls on campus, people still have the mind to protest in support of someone that took money meant for the development of the school and spent elsewhere.
It is sometimes good that if one has nothing good to say, one should just keep mute. We all know the country we live in. A place where innocents suffer the guilty laughs. The massive support for Mr. Elujoba by the entire academic community should have spurred any right-thinking individual to re-visit the charges against him. He did the right thing which revealed the heartless deeds of the successive Vcs and that's is his crime. Believe me sincerely, even if he's kept in prison, he remains in the good book and record of we the ever conscious OAU students.

A friend of mine has 78.25 for MBBS is he gud to go or he should consider change of course
It all depends on how "desperately" or lemme say, sincerely, that your friend (if not you yourself) wants the course. 78.25 isn't a child's play. It means nothing less than 280 in utme and about 3As. Let me be factual with you, that will be where majority of MBBS aspirants' score would lie. The delicacy here is no one can say what the decimal after 78 would be. It can be .3 or .9 or anything.

Let the person involved activate his/her prayer mood and cling to his/her faith. When the weakest sinner prays, even the the kingdom of Satan shakes. He/she should trust his/her fate into God's hands and not change his/her course. But like I said earlier, if the individual is not desperate enough, Dentistry, a sister course to medicine, can be a safer habour.

I'll hope you'll found this useful

so wat is ur cutoff mark prediction for merit(peeps that doesn't come from ELDS)
The acclaimed mass success in this year's utme may just be a mirage after all. Sure some guys made very high scores (300 and above) but remember that there is a moderator in the name of SSCE. Definitely the mark can shoot up by a few points, but it cannot be that much. I see guys with 250 making the list while some with 300 falling off because of this thing called O'level.

So, my prediction for MBBS UI for next session is between the range 78-80. If you already surpass that, just start looking for money.

Cheers!

If you think you have something better than this, bring it here and let's see.

Even on those freelance sites people offer 1000 words for $5 or less. I have also seen a lot of offer here on NL, hardly you will see anyone compared to what Topsquino is offering you.

Please, don't discourage newbies who want to write and learn. I learnt a lot from him when I was writing for him and the skills are what I'm using to command better offer now.

The bottom line is if you are a newbie, who have it in you, who is ready to learn while earning, offer your service to Topsquino and you will be glad you did.

Caveat: Don't go to him if you are not ready to learn from your mistakes. He will not take half-measures but will guide you to improve your skill and confidence.
I hope you aint offended. I write a lot and I understand just how tedious meeting those requirements may be. I'm sure that's why you aint writing such anymore. Those who are interested should not in anyway discouraged. I too can try when I'm less busy (lol). But to be candid, a better offer would have attracted the kind of writers the poster desires.
