Congratulations again Baba.

Also, if you are the type that cannot say NO to requests for your hard earned work, better start learning now. Both the person who allowed someone else to copy them and the person who copied will be in trouble of plagiarism oooo.

Calmdancer21:
I got my gcms notes which i ordered over a month ago via link here, fortunately i already have ppr before it came so i was just reading through out of curiosity, i submitted a mybankstatement of about 20m, in the financial info section it was written that my tuition is CAD28k and that i money available for my studies is CAD50k. also noted that they were unable to access mybankstatement due to internet outage. i also saw all the docs i sent via web form.
Settling has been challenging giving the fact that my classes started immediately, i already have like over 1000 words worth of assignment to finish this weekend and plagiarism is a serious crime over here.
If you are the type that consider reading and doing your own research a waste of time, please just die that Masters and Phd dreams. everything here you must read very well and understand before you sign then school work can not be copied, so if you can not put together your own visa application for study please start learning now.

Even on your personal account, you have to authorize them to debit you in a letter.

There's no specific format. Your letter should include:

Account details to debit
Account details to credit.

Special instructions you want them to put as narration (example the reference number by flywire. If you were paying directly into the school's account, it'll have been your student number).


Wishing you the best speed and favourable decision in your application.

BenedictStinson:

Lolz I think I saw somewhere that it's only needed if it's a third party account but you are right you can never be too careful with this banks.
Do I just type out a letter and sign or is there a specific format for this authorization to debit

Lol.
Your form A will come back rejected. Don't put debit instruction, dey blow grammar.

BenedictStinson:

Thank you I have the payment instructions though it's a personal account so I don't think the letter of authorization is necessary

Even Jesus cursed the fig tree that refused to produce fruits despite having all the resources.

Will you keep carrying your healthy 5 year old child everytime they ask just because you can carry them and then you support your action with these scriptures you just quoted?


Let's not spiritualise things and indulge laziness. There are questions that don't need to be brought here at all because ordinary Google search would give answers needed.

If people have to ask questions that have been answered at every stage of thier application instead of reading and asking only unique questions, they should be able to pay licensed agents to do the job then.

The least anyone can do when applying the Do it Yourself (DIY) to visa application is to read extensively.


Someone once asked questions about Mpower loan here, I took my time to Google and posted the screenshot and link, then replied the person with it, the person refused to acknowledge it but instead, kept asking for details from someone who has done it before. Can't the person walk through the process like those who have done it before by just following the steps? Did those who did it before her learn the process while in Thier mothers' wombs or Mpower installed the process microchip in thier body?

Treasure134:
Man you don't really need this.. believe me, you could've just take ya eyes off his question instead of over reacting... Frfr, do ya best to answer the question and if you can't then you can fold ya hands and look... I've been reading what ppl been saying since afternoon here but I will say this,

Most of the answers that ppl are seeking might have been answered already in the previous posts but if it touches ya heart to render the help then why not do it for the sake of Christ nor for the sake of human or then let it slide without a word or attitude from you

Okay take a very look at Jesus Christ, he had disciples, I know he thought them lot of things so they can stand and do things when he'll no longer be with them but when he was no longer with them, none of them still do things on their own without the help of the holy spirit....

We all know that we can definitely solve our problem by reading scripture and by praying, then why do we still seek for God's help to open our eyes to see and our wisdom to understand the mystery in it and also to teach us how to pray....

Notwithstanding, I will say whatever you can render to help a partner do it without rephrasing back to how hard you pull it before you have it and if you can't help then I will say you should let it slide than giving attitude


Peace

Add the reference number to the letter of authorization to debit you are uploading to the form A portal.

State it clearly in the Letter that the reference number is important and must be included, the bank will include it.

BenedictStinson:
About to pay my deposit for Fanshawe college. Their payments go through flywire so I used the foreign transfer payment option so I could use Form A. The problem now is there's no tab on the Form A portal to input the payment reference and on the payment instructions, it is written that Flywire needs the reference to identify your payment. Has anyone made a Form A payment through Flywire? How did you circumvent this?

Congratulations on your visa approval.

Number 1 is a big fat lie. The person who said that probably mixed it up. The only thing you won't get access to with a one way ticket is a PTA (personal travel allowance) using Form A. Canada won't send you back because you don't have a return ticket.

No idea of accommodation in Vancouver.

ayoolafaesol:
Hi Guys
I'm a first time traveler as I will be traveling to Canada soon for my studies... please I have some questions to ask.

1. I booked a one way ticket already and I'm being told that if my ticket is not a round trip ticket that I won't be allowed to board the flight and that Canadian immigration would deny my entry into the country. Please help on this.

2. Also, how can I get an apartment in Vancouver? I don't mind if it's a shared apartment.

Thank You

Shoot me a DM.
PDF only

Lotathebaby:


Lol
This is very funny.
Some questions dey off person

Me I read and mostly look away.
The questions I find annoying is : "which cheap school can I apply to in Canada?"

Do we know your definition of cheap?
Do we know how much you are willing to part with?
Do we know what course you intend to study?

Hahhhhh!

Anon123:


Na why i became absent...

People are not helping matters

My brother, I block am.
After giving PDF file I bought with my hard earned money, he/her wanted me to list schools that'll accept them.

Wetin concern m?

I be like lekiboboe for them eye?

Me wey dey find better money and no time

hotboss:




I fall for ground bcz of laughter. D blocking harsh o. ������

Hahaha
Still boils down to same thing. People refuse to read. Why would anyone give agent only WAEC certificate to process a study visa!!

While I understand that most so called visa agents in Nigeria are agents of destruction (they can destroy people's travel plans with their anyhowness), their customers also have a lot of blame to share. Some support the lies initial until a refusal comes and they begin to say something else.

People need to start asking the so-called agents questions. Review documents before final submission. That's what professional and licensed Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCIC) do..

Even so called gurus here mess up people's application but nobody would bring it here because of shame.

Anon123:


Sadly most of these agents do not know or have the information shared here.

An applicant i applied for gcms notes, the notes dropped, i interpreted it and told her what she needs to do as it was delaying the application and how to send it

She was surprised and said her agent told her she cant send additional documents after visa is submitted. I laughed

I gave her the link to webform and told her you can do this yourself but she gave the link to the agent only for the agent to tell her that he does not understand the site.


Another reached out to me and after her notes dropped.

Apparently, the agent was the one that filled her IMMM forms, provided documents. The lady only gave the agent her waec.

Imagine an agent wrote on the form that a lady that manages a supermarket is a supermarket attendant.

The visa officer had a lot to complain about.

i just referred to here cos me don tire.

Thank you.
Oh boy!!
Going back to Lagos bawo

CentennialGuy:


Lol. Your Counterfoil should drop latest tomorrow and the LOI too. My Counterfoil and LOI dropped the day after I received the message above.

Also, it's going back to Lagos. Brace up for another 4 days silence.

It's really sad.
People don't want to make effort. Even those who have all the time in the world to actually do some reading.

That's why agents charge them as high as 500k to secure school admission then go ahead to use fake documents for their Visa applications.

I once gave someone an ebook to guide him/her on how to apply to schools, they came back to say they didn't understand it and I should help them with list if schools. I blocked the person on WhatsApp oo.

CentennialGuy:
It because the culture of spoonfeeding has become the order of the day on this thread now probably because a lot more people are trying to make a business off this thread.

This wasn't the case many years ago. People will direct you to the first page or even previous parts and move on. If you still persist in asking questions that has been treated thoroughly, they ignore you. I remember asking my own first sets of newbie questions 8 years ago thinking my case is unique, LOL. Nobody answered me. I didn't need anybody to tell me to read. When I started reading I found answers to the questions I asked. I joined the thread January of that year and I didn't submit my application till April because I needed to read and understand.

A large percentage of the questions asked on this thread everyday has been thoroughly treated if only people will read.

Baba, you didn't answer my question ooo .

Help my anxiety.

This is what my tracking information shows.

Does it mean it's going back to Lagos from Abuja or Abuja will return directly using DHL?

When will counterfoil drop? Should it have dropped?

Visa application, tracking ID No

Please refer to the “Buy Services” page of the VAC website for further information on courier services offered by the VAC.To know more, please call VAC helpline number or visit VAC website

CentennialGuy:


Since you sent to Lagos, this could be almost 10 business days from the day VFS Lagos received it. With VFS Lagos, you just have to be patient. It took 15 business days from the day I sent it for my Passport to return to me.

Sadly so but you'll not blame them.
People have obviously refused to read or make use of the knowledge gathered here.

Truth is, nobody will spend their time to guide others through visa application process without getting paid for it.

People come here to ask others to "guide them through the process" and reject any referral to the 1st page. They also come here to ask questions on topics that have thoroughly been trashed.

justwise:
I don’t visit this thread as often as I used to and I can see that certain individuals have turned it to their head office. Will sort this out with time .

At what point did you get the counterfoil?
I don dey taya.

Calmdancer21:

it shows on my profile that my counterfoil has been attached to my passport and its on its way via DHL, but all i have on my messages are the normal correspondence letter which i got a week ago.
So please when and how do i get my LOI
thank you

Thank you

CentennialGuy:


I paid 242k for a flight in August. 23kg luggage x 2 and 7kg hand luggage.

Congratulations again Baba. May Canada favour you. This your landing gist sweet



Please how much was Egyptair ticket?
What's the luggage limit?

Scott99tish:
Landing Gist !!!


Well, I was aspiring to type lot of story but my trip was quite short and simple than expected. No much questioning at allll.
Airline: Egyptair
Time: 14:00 on 2nd of May 2022

I got to Airport at 9am to avoid crowd ahead of travel time. I was the second person attended to for boarding pass.
Baggage: 29kg and 30km
Hand luggage: 12kg

I had lot of loads that I couldn't afford to drop some as I did some cargo ahead self for my fiancée in Toronto, That's why I had lots still. So I did bargain with the personnel who did calculation and said I will pay 75USD for extra to upgraded baggage of 32kg. I used Naija way reduce ham to 50USD as I hid some other baggage earlier sef. It was more. So we sha added all of them to the bags since I've paid. Lot of milk, fish and food items.
Document requested: ArriveCan, Vaccination card, Passport then Got my boarding pass.

I waited with my family for pictures till 12noon before moving in.
Advice, Avoid crowdy entry. A friend here told me to go through Gate E which I did. Very simple. Immigration passed me quickly without much questioning. The man was gisting with me sef giving me the right pronunciation of Toronto that I will blend soon. He checked the Acceptance letter and stamped me.

Money declaration man, He got interested in me that I paid full tuition fee (Big Boy) then We started family gist ooo when I said I am not a big boi. That it is Owo omo oni iru, omo alata, lol. At some point I was avoiding his gist but He was loving it, discussing with a young man about Life. He eventually said Good luck out there, Off you go.

Peace... Got to airline session, the lady there started gist too, then I kept thinking which soap did I use sef that They want to be making friends and not even doing usual Bambiala, Lol... She said Go in peace too.
We left Lagos Exactly 2pm.
Meals and movie on egyptair was great, I ate all. Arrived Egypt at 8:30pm and waited for our 5 hours stopover.
Left exactly 1:30am as they asked same document; Passport, ArriveCan, and Vaccination card.

Ate 3 meals before morning, They have amazing movies. All great. I made an Egypt-Canadian friend on the plane (Husband and Wife) They were awesome. watched same movies, Ate same meal as they were so cool.

Arrived Canada 1:48pm Nigerian time (8:48am Canadian time).
Note: Kindly fill your declaration form online before leaving Nigeria to save you stress. Went to self-declaration machine to scan my passport and I got my ticket once under 20secs.

First level asked me for passport and declaration ticket then Proceeded to another for first time arrival permits. Devil wanted to work small but God gat it under control. We were asked for letter of Introduction; My hands was dried that I needed spit to sort my document (Nigerian way) then this woman just shouted at me: SO RUDE, I DON'T NEED YOUR PAPERS...

...

Little brain?
This be like encyclopedia something ooo.

You have dissected it wella. That's why I tagged you.

Omiinii:
From what was explained. This is what my little brain understands.

1.) @Shadesbyespoir International students can now use online study taken until August 31, 2022 toward their PGWP eligibility.

2.) You've completed your program, therefore I believe that if your study programs is with an eligible Designated Learning Institution (DLI) and meet other PGWP requirements. You're good to go(I'm assuming your goal is PR so this is a necessary step to that)

3.) However, because it's a joint masters degree program. I have some uncertainties.
It's is mandatory that the shortest length a program may be is eight months. But IRCC stance on Canadian study programs with an overseas component states that: If your study program has an overseas component, you may be eligible for a PGWP as long as you earn a credit from a Canadian school for it. The PGWP will only be valid for the length of the time you studied in Canada so I believe regardless of the bolded in this paragraph you are still eligibility for a 1 year PGWP.

4.) So with your 2 months visa it's imperative you act quick. you can either go to CA and apply for PGWP or possibly apply for another program and extend. But I think you have to physically be in Canada to do that.

Let other gurus weigh in as well.

Goodluck God bless

What you got on your passport simply means you have to enter Canada within 2 months.

It's when you get to Canada they'll give you student permit to stay in Canada as a student for the length of your study.

@ Omiinii, please help shed more light

Shadesbyespoir:
Hello
I need advice please
I currently just got my student visa approved but I some concerns and would be grateful if anyone can help with clarifications.
My program is a one year joint masters offered by a university in Madrid and Canada. I have finished the first semester in Madrid and applied for the Canadian visa but it was initially refused and I applied again. The school had to move the course online since most of the students didn't get the visa. We resumed the second semester online in January and we just finished on the 29th of April. My second application was approved on the 28th of April. I got the counter foil today and realized they approve 2months for me.
What should I do?
What options do I have ?
I already registered for the summer semester to complete my thesis.
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the lengthy message

Pay balance using form A.
Leave POF for living expenses plus plus extra in Naira. GIC rate is high because you'll use Aboki dollar.

Isyma:


School required deposit. Full tuition is15.5 CAD, deposit they requested for is 8500CAD, The deposit is paid already. Is it better paying the balance whc is less than 7k CAD or doing GIC of 10k. Advice needed please

Tell the person to visit thier bank for it if they don't use GTB.

Visiting MyBankStatement.com is just to see list of banks that offer the MyBankStatement thing, they cannot access it o the platform. They have to go through their bank .

kennykentipsy:

Ok thank you but it not compulsory I use the one from mybankstatement.com? Because somone asked me and I didn't know what to say..when I came to Canada I used the normal statement from bank not sure if things have changed

You can actually include your listing pages in your SOP as part of proof

Johnwisdom1032:
And I have email showing booking of my apartment from customer care from my booking platform like Airbnb and co

Depends on your bank. I know GTB request for MyBankStatement on their internet banking platform while you have to visit a branch to request for MyBankStatement for Access Bank.

I personally prefer MyBankStatement. it the size is usually less than 400kb and just 1 page.

kennykentipsy:
Hi everyone

I have a question regarding statement of account for proof of fund. Can the one generated online be used to apply or it has to come from https://www.visa-mybankstatement.com/?

Congratulations on your visa application. May Canada favour you.

Good night!!!

She applied for visiting visa for her toddler, it costs 100 CAD.

You probably applied for student visa for your 10 year old and student visa costs 150CAD

CharitoJames:


Wow... when filling the form did you say you won’t be paying for your toddler? Or you won’t be paying for your application? Because they asked and you are to choose either yes or no. Or is it a case where toddlers are not to pay for application? Maybe because i paid for a 10year old. But kindly confirm to be sure

You are on course, don't be confused.

HazeeyzaH:

Ah... i applied with my 3 years old toddler... amount paid was 150 cad and 85 cad for only me...is something wrong?? Kindly assist

Because she's applying with a child.

She put it there.


Please where did you see CAD at 385?

CharitoJames:


I paid same earlier this month but i paid 385 not 335. It was 182,875.

Visa application is 150CAD each so 300 for you 2.
Then Biometrics is 85CAD so 385. How come yours is 335?

It's now worse sadly.
DHL delivered since Monday, VFS Lagos just sent a mail with tracking. Meaning they held it for 5 days and did nothing.


Your application, tracking ID No....... is in transit and has been dispatched to the IRCC Office through the Canada Visa Application Centre, Lagos Office, on Fri Apr 29 2022 for processing. For further details, please contact the VAC helpline number or refer to our website at:

Regards,

VFS Global

CentennialGuy:


Notorious is an understatement sef. The first week of VFS Lagos receiving the Passport can be almost complete silence. The action starts in the second week when they send it to VFS Abuja. Between VFS Abuja and IRCC, it's about two working days to and from movement for the Passport and then back to Lagos. Then another 3 to 4 days silence.

VFS Lagos appear to be notorious for not providing update. Track your return waybill to see if they have sent it back.

People say Lagos is slow and one should expect them to return between 5-10 working days.

VeecThorr:

It went to VFX in Admiralty way in Lagos

Check IOM.

Elmemeoflagos:
Hello everyone,

I tried book for medicals for the month of may....seems like all the days has been taken...

Any way to go about this.

Was it sent to Lagos? Track the DHL return tracking number he got.

VeecThorr:
My brother’s passport was dispatched to vfx for stamping since last week Tuesday, we’ve heard nothing since then. He’s supposed to be in school by May 2nd. Does it usually take this long for stamping?

I agree it's based on negotiation skills. I found it to be the least of the options I had.
That's what I paid and that's what the other person paid. I'm not interested in milking anyone off a faceless platform.

Peace.

amila20042001:
Easy bro. Nobody will milk nobody! I appreciate your input though.

Someone here also got it by proxy @ 6K. depends on ur bargaining power.
