With this increasing rate of REFUSAL AFTER MEDICALS, is it that CIC has introduced another stage that review applications after medicals into the visa processing stages or they are just trying to create revenue for their panel of physicians?

I think we have to speak out to our government IF POSSIBLE and let them interven as the Indian govt did. Wasting #28k to #48k on medicals couple with the dissappointment one faces after refusal is not easy.

Its very painful thou.... I was a victim of REFUSAL after medicals passed !!!! But do you trust our govt?

loriaidah:
Thanks but its upfront medical that am doing so which is medical form?

okay.... Just go to the clinic and tell them upfront medical....

[quote author=loriaidah post=40695727]Pls sorry if am asking questions that have been asked.pls what are the documents to carry when going for upfront medical?[/quote

If its online route... You ll go with ur international passport, passport photograph and the medical form from ur mycic account. Paper route, you will print out ur certified international passport page, pp photograph, medical form... But call ur chosen hospital too

Hey guys, Thank you for the good work you are doing. I applied for trv (PGD) on the 8th of October and my application was updated medical passed on the 20th of October but since then I haven't heard anything. My application is quite straight forward. I'm sponsoring myself having been in employment for the past 8 years. I paid first semester tuition and I have travelled quite a bit too. USA and UK included, yet I'm still freaking out cos I heard Travel history don't hold water with the Canadian embassy. I'm actually just seeking words of encouragement hence, my post. Please, if you are in a similar situation let me know. I would also like to hear opinions from the house. Thank you once again guys.

Paper or Online route..... Just keep the faith... You are still within the time space of 8 weeks

freezingus:
The wait after "medical passed" is over killing, though it ain't yet up to 2weeks but it's almost as if it's 2years, it's almost like a pass to Heaven, I just wanna know the decision.

Just believe GOD.... i was once in ur shoe !!!! It will come out fine in JESUS MIGHTY name

ayooluwatoni:
This is about the first time I'm seeing so much reasons.....mehn, this VO no even fear God, about 8 reasons for you alone?
Really sorry about your delay. Please be sure with God all things are possible, and once He says yes, no VO can say NO. I saw your PM, but I was in dreamland then....I'll get to u asap.
Let's Start Afresh and see how best to tackle all the reasons.
I agree with SOJ's assessment, and may I ask what your definition of a strong SOP is? I mean Letter of Explanation? The VO obviously was not convinced you're seeking to enter Canada to study, and that's basically the work of the SOP/LOE.

Lool.... Bro i was very disappointed when i saw it cos my mind was set on pp request !!!!! I will send a copy of my SOP to you. Thanks

thesoj:
I would.recommend that you have someone else read your SOP, to confirm that it is indeed strong.

Also, it is likely that the VO assumed your program was four years long so s/he may have been expecting a larger balance. You will need to clearly and repeatedly emphasize the length of your program to the VO. In any case, I would recommend your sister's SOA be at least N7-8m though the VO may want to see N10m if s/he assumes your program is four years long.

Also, I have an issue with your assertion that you can get this SAIT BSc in two semesters or two years. I hope you didn't present this ambiguity to the VO. You need to be clear.

I still insist that you read the thread closely, several people have repeated discussed TRV delays such as yours multiple times.

I would recommend you make every aspect of your application as perfect and ambiguity-free as possible.

Many thanks bro.... Lesson learnt !!! I will send u a copy of my SOP. I clearly stated the duration of my course in it thou... GOD knows best

@thesoj, pls bro how much can my sis has in her account for my application.... It was 5m before

thesoj:
First of all, I would strongly recommend that you read the thread (at least read from page 1 of Part 9 and digest it all) and don't rush to reapply. Ideally, I would also recommend you read Part 8 since you would likely be deferring your admission. The reasons for several of your refusal reasons were all very easy avoidable.

Your delay can be summarized into the categories of "Insufficient Funds" and "Purpose of Visit".

Insufficient Funds
A conservative estimate of your total annual costs is about $30kCAD (~$19k tuition + $10k room & board + $1k misc), which translates to N4.5m. Your sponsor's bank account of N5m is barely enough for one year and would barely have enough remaining to cover your transportation to Canada. Also, you won't expect the VO to believe that your sister would empty her bank account and live in penury to send you to Canada. Ninety-percent of the time, an application with your financials would be refused for insufficient funds. You will notice the the VO selected three "insufficient funds" boxes for this obvious reason. (Btw, the VO didn't think you were going to Canada with your family, that generic line is on every denial letter.). Please read the thread over the next month so that you can better prepare your next application.

Purpose of Visit
You already have a BSc and you are going for another BSc; this is not a big issue as long as you can justify it to the VO. Without justification, the VO would think "Why does this applicant with a BSc want to go to Canada to get another BSc in a very similar subject? Something looks fishy here!". Your document list doesn't show that you presented an SOP to explain your reasons for pursuing this second BSc, your reasons for going to Canada, your plans for when you come back to Naija, etc. The VO likely saw your application to enter Canada using a second BSc as a ploy to flee Nigeria. The burden of proof is on you, VOs are not mind readers. Please read the thread to learn how to present your case correctly to the VO. (Or you can read all of the posts of one or more any of these monikers: @ayooluwatoni @Team12 @Khalesi @thesoj, etc).

In short, you need to read the thread (or simply think like a rational VO) and put together a much better application next time. Don't make it so easy for the VO to delay you.

Thanks so much bro.... I submitted a strong SOP to explain things to the VO but i will follow ur piece of advice.... Like how much can my sis have in her SOA next time am applying and that will be march 2016.... GOD willing.
Plus have been a silent reader of this forum

thesoj:
Sorry about your delay.

Share your profile. You didn't provide your course of study, UG or PG, length of program? Your most recent education qualification and when it was obtained? What you've been doing since then? Your program's tuition? etc. We can't help you tackle your delay in a vacuum.

@thesoj and ayooluwatoni and all... Please help me tackle this
NB : No family is accompanying me and am single... I filled my family form as single and ticked no one is accompanying me... Mistake on part of VO i guess

Hi all,
Thanks for the good works you guys are doing Here...

My application was refused after medicals due to

*insufficient fund to maintain ursef and family accompanying you... Note : am single and not travelling with any family member and i never filled that in my family form
*Current employment situation.... I submitted my offer letter and study leave letter with payslips
* and many other reasons.

Am just confused at the moment
