ahyotomiwa:
No.dey both were called 4 meds.. don't boda ur sef it's well..anoda way u cud ease ur sef of dat feeling is to mail requestin update on ur app.."but dats if dey reply u sha..ad sum1 do dat n it worked"

Now u ppl abeg wat else can I do O..av sent mails..sent case enquiry..no single responx.."any idea of a phone no I can call"..m just frustrated wit d whole ish..

Not even an automated response?? If that's the case, send your messages through another email address

Inkblood:
i suppose you are talking about my previous application, it wasn't a false soa per say. he transferred some money to my account, had the soa printed, and withdrew the money.

Yes I'm referring to the previous app. At times CIC holds onto document they probably have an issue with, and it gives a clue. Was the SOA returned?

Inkblood:
Hello guys. thank you for the quick reply. @thesoj. the fixed deposit expires in september while my resumption date is in january, but i will just ask my dad to liquidate it. @deedee0 my dad is my co-sponsor, and i am my own sponsor. i have abt 6m for the cause, which in addition to my dad's 3m gives a total of 9m. it is well over the fees and estimated expenditures. my dad is a retired military man, i am currently employed. will list my docs in my next post. thanks for the concern

The Detective in me just went through your posts.. That your agent no try o
Include your dad's house documents in your next app. Also go through tnuola posts for the 'TRV chopping documents', download and read. It will help you gather documents for your next application
When you pick up your documents, was the false SOA returned (assuming u submitted paper route)

Inkblood.. If your dad is a cosponsor, you can present the FD cert instead of liquidating, and include employment details/his source of income
Provide more info abt ur documents/application.. What reasons were given for refusal?
Who is your main sponsor?

.

not sure abt that. ive bin in ubc for a week, not bumped into 1. infact, ive only seen 6blacks. tanzanians and ghanians

Yh..I noticed there are few Nigerians in BC. U'll bump into me soon

Let's not argue pls... Most of us also passed through the torturous wait, and different discussions come up on the thread. There's more than enough info available, and questions (new/repeated) are also being attended to.
Oya TRV discourse..
Berexio1..Quota talk will take all the pages

TheBae:
Lmao! Smh. But Gala is now crap though. You guys should try SuperBite, awesomeness. No advert intended oh

Even Superbite is nonsense ..started well but the quality is crap now. Lool I'm angry! Gone are d days u could actually bring out the whole meaty strand outta d dough, now it's just flour and tiny meat, hard like rock..All the brands
Madam what if the indomie has Chicken written on the nylon (chckn/onion chickn flavour), are u sure it doesn't matter

Fhemmmy:
I am the only one certified to ask for Gala on this thread oh . . . . take ya time abeg

Lool not trying to spoil business for chrisviral...but Gala is nonsense now o, they just package rubbish! Not worth it

@tnuola Very nice of u! D frst 'TRV chopping documents' really helped me... Madam Canny, we must celebrate you on this thread!

HayqinsbFX Happy birthday Oga! Ur TRV should land already!

Use Google oo..so you'll just state that the conversions were made based on that rate on a particular date

Sending a mail or case enquiry doesn't result in automatic refusal. I sent a case enquiry and explained that the deadline to pay some unrefundable fees to my school was fast approaching.
Someone I know was downright rude and insultive in her mails to cic and she still got her TRV.
I will advise to be patient, just wait it out. Sending a mail/case enquiry might increase your anxiety/worry.

Omonjoe:
Gud morni all.... In the sponsorship letter, would it be better the sponsor states the amount he will be making available in Canadian dollars instead of naira since one does not know the exchange rate the VOs are working with. The sponsor's SOA is in naira.

State in both, and indicate what you used as exchange rate.

eetti:
Union bank charged my friend $1CAD = 166 two months ago. When the official rate was 157 and GTB charged 173 ,while Zenith charged 194 though Wire transfer i.e with the use of Form A.

morgan2006..I will not advise you to use the banks listed above oo. Union 162 to 1CAD last week for Form A
Diamond charges 153 to 1CAD for Form A, and it has been quite consistent

TheBae:
Actually there's a thread where you can see more details on banks and their rates.
Stanbic and Diamond have had the best rates for months but right now, Standard Chartered and Diamond have the best rates as of today. I'll advise you open one of those because they're quite consistent. Because if you calculate it, you'll be losing money unnecessarily

Yh..I got some info when I searched, but there's no info about UBA and Ecobank.
It seems I will eventually take your advice and open an acct with Diamond. I just want to know if UBA and Eco can be useful

Pinkygrace:
Maybe there is something wrong somewhere, I used my GTB card yesterday in the UK was charged N420, diamond has not sent me alert since yesterday that I withdraw and that bank called UBA na only God go save them

Please, what's your experience with UBA?

TheBae:
I'm going to stick to Diamond and Stanbic though. Gtb will only be if those 2 have issues cos their rates are too unfriendly. Unfortunately Stanbic USD went up to N207 just yesterday after being on N199 for a long time
Enough of the derailing sha. Thanks for your concern

I don't think its derailing the thread oo, as upkeep is inportant. I don't want to open a new bank account. I use Ecobank and UBA. Ecobank recently started selling PTA.
As for ATM charges, the customer service rep I just spoke to obviously doesn't have a clue; she actually said there are no ATM withdrawal charges outside Nigeria. I asked another rep, he said there are charges, he doesn't know the exact charge.
I will go to another branch.
Any info on Ecobank and UBA will be appreciated

TheBae:
Lol, nothing good comes easy.
Abi you want to go to the UK? As it's very easy, i'll even help you pack your load sef. Then you can dash someone your canny TRV

Loool dash wetin...
UK is toooo easy, wonder why people still use agent for UK! But as there are no policies that encourage staying back after study, I'll rather do the stressful Canada

This Canada can stress sha! One will find potential supervisor taya, finally get admission; and still comman face ALMIGHTY CIC.

Hello folks,

Good morning to you all.

I wanted to ask if there is anybody on this page that got any form of scholarship to do MPH in Canada either partial or full funding? with what i'm hearing, and what @topebamidele said earlier, looks like it is nearly impossible to get any for MPH. Please my people help?

Thanks.

Getting funding for MPH is very rare! After you are admitted, you may be able to apply to General scholarships, open to all graduate students in the school, it's usually small money, and doesn't qualify as funding.
Some schools might give internship (practicum) stipends, also small. You can also get TA (Teaching Assistant) jobs, if your profile is powerful

Well, I can't say generally cos it depends on the school. UBC gives partial funding, but you need to have good GRE scores to apply to MPH. **verify this info on UBC's website, I checked two yrs ago, and crossed it off my list because of GRE.

If funding is a really important factor, maybe you should apply for an MSc Course (Health Sci, Community Health etc). It's thesis-based and you need to get a potential supervisor, who can avail funding.

Pastor VO Team 12... Congrats Grace!

Hmmm I think MichaelFinn is referring to an agent; whatever works for you, as long as it's legal

Thesoj and this hin FiveEyes.. Thank God for Google

My dear... I've always known it's a wrong tin to do... but I usually see on here that people write sponsors letter on their letter head... just didn't occur to me that it must hv been written on the sponsors personal company letterhead. My bad! quote author=tnuola post=36511084]

Lol.. Like seriously you shouldn't even ask this kinda question o, your sponsor is too correct.
He doesn't own the company and you want him to write the sponsorship or personal letter on the letter head of a company he doesn't own?
Biko type suntin on a plain sheet of paper.

You might not know but its more like fraud.

I did not use letterhead. After 'Yours faithfully' and his name, I included his organisational email address and phone number.

SeraSera:
Great. Thanks.

When did you pay

SeraSera:
Hi, thanks again for the form A info. Using diamond bank, I was able to make tuition payments at the rate of 153 naira to the CAD, which was much better than I had hoped for. I was wondering, how long did it take between the time the transaction was completed at your bank and the time the funds were received by your institution?

About 4 working days... It's usually within a week. I notified my institution about the payment so they can identify it's from me.
When did you pay?

Crich.. My mama MCB
Nt fair!!
CIC Kilode gaan!

I merged my docs into a file and d file was 4.19MB in MS word, when I converted the file to pdf using doPDF software, the file size was 21.9MB. I tried using the method in richcasey's link to reduce the file, it does reduced the file to 4.12MB but the problem is that the documents are very blurred. Pls who knows a best way to reduce file and also retain or nt affect much the legibility of the docs

Instead of using the software, use Save As in Ms-Word, in the pop up box, choose to save as pdf file instead of doc.

Omonjoe:
For the Online routers, when filling the family information form, for those without spouse and children, how did u guys fill the spouse and children section? since we can not sign the form. Should it be left blank or should I write NA(Not Applicable)?

Just leave blank

Thank you.. I'm just trying to see if there's a means by which a sponsor can send mny to you in Canada apart from domicilliary account, Moneygram or Western Union?

With the explanation IyaEjima gave, i think its better to drop items like Milk and other liquids... Before Dano Milk of N700 will lead to paying fine or other consequenses. One might not be lucky and be thoroughly searched.

TheBae about 8 hrs. Lol ok, I will reduce it, I just feel the money will serve a purpose

LOVINA1245:
my cic account states application approved. does this mean my passport is ready for collection?

Online route.. U'll get a mail and text from Vfs that it is ready for collection, then you can pick up

SeraSera:
Hi, what document did you submit along with the form?

Along with the CBN Form A, I submitted admission letter, tuition invoice, BSc Cert, NYSC discharge, passport datapage
