9jabiggurl:
is a police certificate necessary either online route or paper route?

help please.....

I don't think so. I did not use one for mine.

Please one more thing. I may have to submit my passport on 22nd because I need to use the passport this week for a trip. What's the estoimated time frame to get my passport returned from the Accra VO? Thanks

redribs:
congrats 'Bola. I think you have to call or email CIC to know which of the schools your visa was approved for so that you can make a proper decision on ur travel itinerary. I doubt u can be issued a study permit to more than one school at a time. Not very sure tho

Thanks redribs. Will do just that. On a general note though, does anyone have any preference....in terms of studying in UWindsor or Concordia. On a broader level, the choice is almost like one between Ontario and Quebec. Personally, I prefer Concordia in terms of the quality and organization of the school but don't know if choosing to study in Quebec will be profitable in the long run. Any ideas?

@Ebola
Ur app is a miracle. Just few docs and bingo u got it. Congrats

You can say that again. I did not know about this forum when I applied so when I came here afterwards and saw what people were submitting, I truly got scared. Its just God o!

Congratz.
Please how is the transaction history on your SOA like. Did you deposit the 7mil bit by bits or in lump and how long did it stayed bf u printed it out..

I did a lump sum and left for a few days before printing my statement. My LOE was to explain the source of the 7m. For me it was the grey area of my application and I was pretty scared cos of it. Before then, all i had in that account were my monthly salary paymenys which usually got exhausted at the end of every month.

Holu26:
Which one did u use to apply for visa?

I used UWindsor but when I applied for my CAQ, the Quebec govt automatically forwarded a copy of the acceptance to the Accra office. I also updated my DLI on my profile to Concordia. So right now, am not sure which school was considered by the VO.

Please can the house assist me in making a decision. At this point, I have 2 admission offers - one to UWindsor and the other to Concordia Univ...both to study Msc Comp Science. Which do I choose?

. Congrat. I tap 4rm ur blessing. You didn't use any sponsor nd how long is the prog u re going for

Yes I did not use any sponsors cos I did not want to complicate matters too much. Am going for a 2yrs masters in Computer science.

Lest I forget, cos I'll be studying in Montreal, I also had to get my CAQ for studies from the QUEBEC govt. That only cost about 103 CAD and took abt 5 business days though 20 days max was put on their site. They were pretty efficient.

... Nice... but please dont tell them at the POE that ur moniker is Ebola oo... lol Congrats...

Thanks. I had the moniker way before this whole ebola saga. Abeg is dere any way to change it? I can't fit shout abeg.
Meanwhile, is there any one in the house going to Concordia University?

Dear nairalanders...I just got called to submit my passport. Am so thankful to God. First thing I did was resign...God that felt sooooooo good.
I did medical on 6th Dec, passed on 11th Dec and got called today. Am so grateful to God and all the good people in the house. To all those still expecting, just hang in there a lil bit more. Cheers.

Holu26:
It is yes except if you don't pass your medical examination

Thanks Holu26. I actually passed the medicals and have been so passive of the fact that this dream is becoming a reality. I truly did not blv it would happen cos I took some risks in my application. Wow...God is faithful.
I only hav a small challenge. Am traveling on official assignment to Accra next week. What if my passport is requested for while am there. I'm due back on Fri next week.

Na wa o....nobody gree answer my question for this house. Abeg I take God beg una...I have done medicals already. Is it as good as a yes to my TRV application?

atinuke005:
Congrats to everyone dat got their call for medicals/ trvs. I tap into your blessings .
I got delayed for winter please how soon can I refire for summer? The only reason given was insufficient funds tho I submitted SOA with balance of 6m. In between I wud like to apply mysef dis tym.Thaanks in anticipation[color=#000099][/color]

Sorry and better luck in your next application. Please did you do medicals before you got the delay notice?

blink6:
how long before ur profile was updated? And have you been asked to submit ur original passport?

Not yet. I checked my profile today and saw that it was updated. Don't know exactly when the update was done. Waiting for the next steps now.

chops33:
Got delayed...bio 22nd oct..
Insufficient fund was the only reason ticked..
Didn't include sponsor's SOA because she has bin on maternity leave for close to a year as at the time I applied so she sent N3mil into my account for me to use..

Sorry about your delay. Please did you get called for medicals before you got their response?

Please for the veterans in the house...is being invited for Medicals and passing the test an indication that an application is successful? Cos at this stage, am very scared and don't know whether to start making plans. Also, I am due to resume Jan 7th, will it be possible to get my TRV before then?

blink6:
Medical done today!
Never knew twill be this stressful.
Abeg, those that did medical at childrens practice, how long before ur app was updated?

I did mine on Sat last week and my profile is already updated on MyCIC.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I am now better informed on how to proceed and will most likely have to use a certified professional.

Thanks Pearlworth but I don't understand your response. I am saying that I want to register my company and you say I should come and consult with you when I am going into Consultancy myself. I think I do have the Professional Certifications to register if I want to so I'll just follow through anyways.

Thanks though for taking time out to drop a few lines.....and advertise!!!!

Hi. I live in Lagos and am currently thinking of starting an IT Consulting company. How do I go about registering and completing the forms for CAC, including the MoA and other info. Must I have shareholders to register? Anyone with suggestions would be highly appreciated.
