Good morning house . I have been facing serious difficulties booking for biometrics. No option seem to be working. Whats the best way to go about this? . Thank you

lentomac:

From 35 weeks to 15 weeks, now 13 weeks

awys:
It's first come first serve cuz you will write you name as you come in and they follow the list of names accordingly so the earlier the better you get there!!! But you will go on your appointment date oo

olabisi6438:
I just saw this. I got there around past 7. The earlier the better, so they can quickly attend to you and you can leave

iampaulsmith:
How come my review of additional documents is still showing “We need additional documents to continue processing...”? The deadline of the NSE was Dec 26 ooo, it’s over a month sef.

awys:
This is another angle what God cannot do doesn't exist medical request before eligibility started or alongside your eligibility review most likely they must have started something at the back end.Please is your resumption this January.
Congratulationsssssssssssss sis!!!!

OBANLABAMIDELE2:

Thank you!
Applied June 2020 - approval decision - jan 25 2021

Here is my story, I hope someone will learn from my mistakes.


I applied for the study permit on June 5 2020 by myself and without any guidance. I submitted all the required documents (passport, IRCC application forms, evidence of finances, bachelors degree, police report, DLI acceptance letter etc.)
I thought I submitted everything except medicals because my page said I did not require medicals. I spent months sending webforms to IRCC about my application but I did not receive even one reply until November saying they are actively working on my application. That was when I brought my problem to nairaland and some good samaritans advised me to order my GCMS report. When I got this report (January 2 2021) I found out that it was medicals that was holding me down. I did my medicals and passed on the 18th of January 2021 and on the 25th I received approval decision and my biometrics correspondence letter. God will bless you guys giving advice on this platform.

Samsn456:

The Lord is faithful and I judge Him faithful.
Not Student Permit. It’s a Work Permit.
Don’t let me bore you with my very long storyyy.
It will end in Praise for us all.
Pls house how do I send my passport to Abuja.
I couldn’t find the thread. Pls can someone quote me under that post.
Also, I applied with my child, pls should I get different envelopes for the two of us.
One more question, pls what are the requirements, I did my biometrics in Lagos in 2018... does it matter?
Thank you and God bless you.
God that did mine is still doing wonders.

VISA APPROVED TODAY AFTER 1YEAR ➖ 30DAYS

MY TIMELINE LOADING

Ckechi:
I did it in January 2020 so that is possible.

TeeMade:
As hard as it is to type, this was thesame refusal letter I received yesterday too and mine even has family ties in Canada and in my home country. Ordering my gcms note already. One question though, what are your thoughts on notes from CBSA

My SOP was detailed, well I'll leave that to the gurus to scrutinize now

Purpose: Studied Philosophy, I have always worked in the business field with experience in sales and marketing, customer care and been working in the role of a Business Development Manager for the past 6years. This role is titled as Account Manager or Key Account Manager in the Telco industry. The course I applied for is a 1year MBA with a specialization in Professional Sales and Business Development. I ensured to describe my job role clearly cos in the 1st refusal, the VO commented on the gcms note that I am an accountant Manager going to study MBA. He got my job role wrong but even at that, can't an accountant study MBA

Personal Assets & Financial Status: I submitted POF of over a 100k CAD which includes local and foreign stocks, other investments and savings too from individual and joint accounts. My hubby is my sponsor and he wrote a letter to that effect and included letter from his employer, pay stubs, SOA etc. For NSE I submitted over 30k CAD using MBS.

Qualifications & Co.: I submitted my degree certificate, NYSC certificate, all employment history from graduation to date including letters of promotion and salary increase, business card, staff ID and all. I stated details about how the Biz Development role is in high demand in Nigeria, plus my international degree and experience I'll be highly sought after. I stated career available career opportunities upon my return, career progression by stating the job role/cadre I'll be able to work in upon my return to Nigeria and my aspired roles up to C-level roles including the salary range for each of the roles and how my Int'l degree will rightly position me for these opportunities all the way to the top of my career ladder which is my goal. I also submitted IELTS result.

I added how my achievements are intended to make positive impact in my country.

Family ties in Canada and back home: I have no relatives in Canada but all my family members are here including my husband and daughter and none of them is to accompany me to Canada. I included birth certificates, wedding pictures, affidavit of change of name, newspaper change of name, M-certificate, pictures of my nuclear family, pictures at work & all. Just added a few pictures cos of document size.

Other documents submitted are travel history for spouse and I, police certificate, affidavit of facts (which states that all information and documents provided in my application are true and accurate and that I'll depart Canada after my studies & not remain there unlawfully), LOE to address the initial refusal which was only based on purpose of visit and I emphasized my reasons for coming back home here. My daughter's American birth certificate and zero balance letter were included too cos In had to show proof that she's truly my daughter.

I honestly don't know what else I should have said or added but one thing I do know is that the VO commented on the first gcms note about the fact that my US visa renewal was refused after I had a baby there on tourist visa. So I tackled this by showing my email correspondence with the US embassy about my change of intention from tourist (of which i already visited and returned) to a medical visit to have my baby there. I did all they instructed in their mail and I was lawfully admitted into the US for the purpose of having my baby so I didn't do anything illegal or acted without integrity. This was clear.

I cannot help but feel like they just have a preconceived notion that having a baby is most likely my reason for coming to Canada but using study route. Meanwhile, I truly want to study oh which was why I stated all other schools I considered in Canada before choosing UNB and stated my reasons for that. I even included that I had secured admission in 2 schools in UK but I chose Canada becuase of the specialization of the course which is directly related to my career path. It was all just to show that studying was super key and I did my research before choosing a course, a school and a country. I await my gcms note though before knowing my next line of action. I honestly feel like I should just appeal but fingers crossed for now.

To all the gurus in the house @Frankrobbn1 @JustMellow @Chocs and all others, your review and analysis are greatly required. Make una advise biko.

@awys, your funny comments maybe consoling at this time @deomanuel, keep those scriptures coming make I add to the ones wey I don sabi @OtunbaTee, keep the prophetic declarations flowing abeg @Silvamania, thanks for all the encouragement. Not giving up, just standing by for now till my notes arrive.

It will end in praise for us all...
