My brothers, sorry I hurt people's feelings with my shithole rhetoric. But in the real sense, is this country moving forward? If Nigeria is so good, why aren't we queuing to pursue degrees in UNN, UNICAL, UNILAG et al? Why are consultant doctors and health professionals of allied sciences leaving in their droves? We're still having the same old sets of cargoes want to rule us again. We are deeply divided on ethnoreligious lines. We scream that Nigeria is home, but is Nigeria truly home? Can an Ibo man fearlessly build a house in Kano without worrying about ethnoreligious fights? Yes, it's true you'll miss the culture, but there's simply more to life than just the people!
The other day in Abuja, a Lebanese man slapped a Nigerian man, and called the cops on him and the Nigerian was malhandled by the cops on the order of the Lebanese! Is that normal? A Lebanese man beat up a pregnant staff and she got a miscarriage, guess what, the police still detained the woman on the orders of a foreign national!
A sibling who had a first class in Engineering, and distinction in two masters degree all from overseas came home and looked for job but couldn't find any until God opened the way for him and he relocated. He was simply rejected at home, and you expect him to be proud of his roots tomorrow? On many occasions, 3rd class graduates who had connections were chosen over him, and we expect this country to work?
Look at our current president, is he intelligent enough to pilot the affairs of this country? 2019, people will queue up for 1k. Some people are earning 18k as salary! Is this a country? Nepotism, tribalism are all forms of racism!

Good morning house . How easy is it to get a job in canada ? And is it possible to work with a study permit in canada without getting enrolled with your direct learning institite ? Please anyone

jnyuwa02:


The statement written on the form that he can reapply, actually means he can reapply anytime, not 5 years like you stipulated. He really can apply anytime he chooses if he feels he can over effective rebutall to the misrepresentation. But the chances are not easy to overcome it.

Ps: What evidence do you have against the person who said he overcame a ban? I really do not see anything unbelievable about that.

jnyuwa02:


Just show consistent money into your account. But just 200 birds is of trifling insignificance to show as a job to induce your return back to Nigeria. Focus in your SOP on your job prospects in Nigeria with your course of study in Canada after return.

bbclue:



Kindly pm me.....will tell you the procedure

jnyuwa02:


Have you paid taxes? You can get a clearance from Internal Revenue Service showing your remuneration!

mcobex:
Do you have anything to show that you are into the said business? like proof of transaction.
Also, what kind of business is it?

dinho10:



I think like 2days ago some people here said VO can't give approval to second degree that u can only apply to something higher than your first degree...they called it academic progression or so...

Congrat bro

kpizzle:
Hello Gurus,

I have 10 yrs study gap and have been refused twice. I have applied for GCMS note after my 2nd refusal and i am still waiting for it. The summary reason for refusal is 1) purpose of visit 2) travel history

it is obvious am refused based on my huge study gap. And i already know that a strong SOP should be able to tackle it.

I need suggestion and sensitization from people with knowledge or history of tackling study gap for over 5 yrs

@dubaiboy1

Stop dropping 3rd party link here

Thanks.

You are saying nonsense and the moderator of this thread should block you from dishing out wrong information! How and why will VFS drop an applicant's documents via paper route when the bag that is issued with your documents is sealed and handed to the applicant to submit at a different section of the VFS office? If VFS takes out people's documents, they will have been sued long before now! VFS is simply an outsourcing firm that handles visa application submissions, and transmits those documents to the Embassy! I have gone through the paper route twice and not a single document was dropped! Who are you that we need to know on this thread? Are you a Visa officer? Even your application can be rejected! Who even told you that the VO's at Nairobi are Indian-Canadians? Do you know any of them? Have you met any one of them? For your information I also follow an Indian thread like this and they equally have countless stories of rejections too!

There are better informed folks on this thread like frankrobbn, jnywua, mcobex etc, and when either of these folks make mistakes in the information that they pass, they admit it! Don't come here to misguide people by sharing "hear say", information!

blaqnony:
The Lord is ever faithful. I just got a Request for my Original Passport. I applied online since May 1. I will come back shortly for further details. I need to keep my cool to type as my application was complicated. I pray for many more approval here soon.

harde116:
Sorry to hear this man.

It is well.

Do the needful and refire.

Cheers

Naijaforeigner:


Sorry about that bro, God’s will be done no matter how long it takes.

Did you apply in Dubai?

reichwolf:
Hello guys I have a question.
My University gave me August 8th as deadline to tell them wether or not I’ve gotten my student permit.
I applied on July 15th & was asked to do my medicals on Monday. I did my medicals on Tuesday 7th August. My CIC account has been stuck on “We are currently reviewing wether you meet the Eligibility requirements” for the past 3 weeks.
Should I just lie to the school that I’ve gotten the visa as I was called for medicals?
I’m scared to be deferred to Winter semester.

Lotusboi:
I have a friend who was required to show proof of funds, before his admission was finalized by Dalhousie University. So I guess some Canadian schools do require POF

mightyola:
My current status also changed from submitted to updated .... also , my eligibility has changed to ... we are currently ' reviewing' ur eligibility.

harde116:
Yes i got this too. Changed from submitted to updated, and back to submitted. They finally sent me the updated later that day. There's been some progress i believe, you should here from them soon. I hope for the best for you brother.

Cheers

dubaiboy1:



So this morning ,, for a very brief time my application status changed from submitted to updated. But the details show no change. Then after that the status was again set to submitted.. Did anyone experienced this too ?

Wheyme:
I just discovered that gcms takes one month and school resumes 5th September. Late enrollment begins on 21st August
Scared that I will not meet up. Plus Do you think "refusal based on personal assets and financial status" has to do with showing ties to my country of residence? Like if they require me to go apply from Nigeria rather than from Belgium ?

Wheyme:
Could you kindly provide me with the link to do this please

Wheyme:
The school fees is actually 16kCAD$ but I have funding of 20kCAD$, bursary of 2,400CAD$ and savings of 8k Euros. I still do not understand the financial status constraint. Moreso, I will like to ask if its recommended that I repackage and re-fire immediately or I order the GCMS note first.
Thank you for your time.
