Hi All.

For those that applied online with upfront medicals can you please advise on the order of processing stages alongside possible timelines particularly with these new approvals in principle. I noticed it is only my background check that is in progress while awaiting receipt of my biometrics. Is this normal?

Hello,

Many thanks for your suggestion.

So I noticed the following grounds where one can raise a CSE:

You have submitted an application at a visa office abroad.
The information you seek is not available on E-cas.
Your application has exceeded normal processing times. We will not respond to your enquiry if the application is within normal processing times. Information on processing times.
You wish to report important changes regarding your application, such as births, deaths, marriages, divorces, adoptions, changes in address, changes in employment, acquisition of a new educational credential, results of an approved language test.

Uploading these documents do not particularly fit under one of the grounds. Can I upload all the same without it counting against me in my application? Cos I have read in previous posts that those Nairobi people can be vindictive.

Frankrobbn1:
Please raise a CSE by sending the proof of your husband's ownership of business via
IRCC WEBFORM NAIRAOBI. In the mail, you should explain to the immigration authorities that it was an honest mistake to have omitted the document while uploading your files for submission. Never to worry, the visa officer will update your application appropriately with the new information provided.


It will end in praise

Many thanks. Please what do I fill under the "enquiry" part of the form?

Hello All,

So I just submitted my online application and realised I did not include evidence of ownership of business companies for hubby (his side runs basically) which I had made mention of in my SOP. Please what do I do? Do I send an email attaching it or just let it be? Since he is my primary sponsor arent these documents a deal breaker? Kindly advise.

Thanks everyone for your help so far. Please do employment gaps matter for study permit like it does for express entry? basically do i need to explain a 2 months gap in my employment as seen in my resume?

It is 3140kb

Lekiboboe:
It shows u av an already uploaded Document there, but seems the file u uploaded is not accepted (either by file size or file extension etc.)

But since u said its in PDF .. Thats should be no problem

Fine, u said its less than 4MB, hope the file is not like 4MB on the dot..

Cos the File size on your computer would likely be more than its size when Uploading..

E.g a File is 4.03mb on ur laptop and u wanted to Upload it and it says not accepted, that means it has passed the 4.09mb file limit..

nawa o. used the entire weekend merging and splitting and reducing size to finally make it below 4mb only for me to upload and see this. I dont even know what to do again

Please as regards marital status, do I pick the "married-physically present" OR "common law" option?

Hello Peeps,

Please with regards to uploading documents on the CIC Page for my application, can anyone advise in why am I getting this message (attached). The document is less than 4mb and it is in PDF

Hello All,

Please as a business owner, does it matter if I dont include my tax clearance in my application?

Hello All,

Please I want to ask something, if my husband is sponsoring me and gives me a gift deed, transfers the funds to my account and writes me a sponsor letter, do i still need to show proof of the source of the funds? I assume if I am using his account I will have to but if I am using my own account with the sums having been transferred, do we still need to? Please advise. Many thanks.

Hi All,

Please does anyone know what happens where your upfront medicals is sent to IRCC even before you submit your online application? I expected the hospital to send within 2 weeks of taking the test, giving me enough time to get all my documents together but lo and behold they sent it in 2 days. Please advise.

Pls can someone advise me on this?

Eilenora:
My fellow peeps,

Pls I have been seeing official fee schedule on nairaland as part of the supporting documents submitted. What does this mean exactly as my school did not give me any and have no clue what I am referring to. Where do I get it from biko?

Yes you can, i used it and got admission with Fanshawe.

MadeMan01:
Hello house, can an Educational Credential Assessment ECA be used to get admission in Canada.
I want to apply for admission but cannot afford to waste time with COVID 19 effect on school at Yabatech

Hello All,

Please I have a qstn, if you wish for your kids to travel with you and they are both Americans meaning they do not require a visa to enter into Canada, is it better to file for them as dependents from here, or to take them with you and when you get there, regularize their stay? Cos I spoke with an Agent who told me it is better and easier for them to regularize their stay when they get into Canada. I also wont have to worry about securing more proof of funds for dependents visa.

Also with regards to POF for a 2yrs programme, if one only has proof for 1 year and does not show how to raise the funds for the 2nd year, will it be a problem securing the visa?

Finally, if one has a business with all registration documents but no tax certificate, what does one do? Cos I noticed it is a requirement stated on the CIC site

Have you applied and done biometrics? What course? Mine is Business Management, January 2021. Kindly let me know how best to reach you so we can rub minds

Sirromey:
Mine is for September but no visa approval yet

I also got admission to Fanshawe. All Fanshawe peeps for Jan admission, lets have a whatssap group so we can assist each other. What say ye?

NairaLuck:
Wow I was also admitted. But I deferred to Jan '21. Kindly keep me updated on your steps.
Meanwhile what course are you studying?

Hello All,

Please for those that applied to Fanshawe, did u have to submit a personal statement/statement of purpose cos I dont see that as part of the requirements:

https://www.fanshawec.ca/international/new-applicants/how-apply-fanshawe-college

I was exempted from applying through an agent

DearAll,

I trust you are all keeping safe.

So my appointment was rescheduled from yesterday to today, at 12 noon.

Can some one kindly give me heads up on what to expect?

Eilenora:
Thanks so much for your kind responses to my inquiries.

So I have a Skype appointment with a Fanshawe rep this morning, I am not sure I understand why I need to have this just to get admissions but from what I have read so far, I see that one has to go through an agent to process admission into their school. Is there anything I have to do to prepare for the appointment? Is it like an interview or what? Anyone with previous experience particularly those currently in Fanshawe, kindly advise on the process. I have also read that one has to pay for these appointments. At what point does this happen? The appointment is 10am this morning so it is pretty urgent biko, e joooo. Kindly assist [color=#990000][/color]

U cant even access the portal to request for an unofficial one. Even the portal is on lock down

Chimzy4real:
In this lockdown. Most schools aren't operating, your best option is to use your unofficial transcript and state why you are using it.since your school doesn't issue that then i don't know what other option you can use

Fanshawe people where are you ooooo?

Please help a sister out

Please keep me posted if u get any headway cos I am in the same shoes with Unilag. i had commenced the process before the Covid thing started and now you cant even track it online or send emails to follow up cos Unilag is practically on shut down mode. I already have admission from a schl in the UK but the admission is conditional on transcript. if I dont submit before 31st I lose a chance of getting a 1000pounds early bird discount off my tuition. I prefer to school in Canada though hence looking into Canadian schools as well; and I know this issue of transcript will resurface hence the urgency. Will they collect a credential evaluation in the stead of a transcript though cos I have that both from WES and IQAS

Slayyy001:
Unilag does not issue unofficial transcript o ! Other schools are giving their students transcripts or sending it to the schools abroad once they pay online . However , unilag is just different and they are not processing application for transcripts yet!
Pls anyone who knows anyone who can help. Biko ! I can message you privately . Deadline May 31st

I am in the same shoes o

Slayyy001:
Hello family , pls anyone who is waiting or has a link to obtain unilag transcript. I have to get my transcript sent to my post graduate college in BC on or before May 31st 2020.
Pls a referral wouldn’t be bad �

Also is it true that its hard to get admissions from 35ages upwards? I am 35 this month. I have read a few cases on here where 40yr olds were successful so I knda always thought its from 40yrs old it would get tricky

Eilenora:
Hello All,

Please I am trying to navigate myself around this whole admissions thing but noticed each college I go to, I see the following credential options which confuses me:

Advanced Diplomas (3 year program)

Certificate Programs (8 weeks - 1 year)

Degrees (4 year program)

Diplomas (2 year program)

Graduate Certificates (1 & 2 year programs)

Ontario College Certificates (10 weeks - 1 year)

What option should I be selecting for a PGD programme? So I selected the last 3 but was surprised to see some courses wth the admission requirements being:

Admission Requirements
Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), or equivalent, or 19 years of age or older with mature student status (See Mature Student definition for details.)
Grade 12 compulsory English, C or U, or equivalent, OR Conestoga College Preparatory Communications (COMM1270)
Grade 11 Mathematics, C, M (U/C), or U, or equivalent, OR Conestoga College Preparatory Mathematics (MATH1375)
For more information on preparatory programs, visit Academic Upgrading

If this is a PGD, why is the requirement being Secondary School? Unless it is a University degree I am looking at thinking it is a PGD.

Can some one please advise so I can be properly guided before I run to agent to help me do what I should be able to do myself.

I had a 2.2 law degree, 9 years legal experience but the past 3 years I have been an enterpreneur so looking to apply for a business related PGD course.

Hello,

Please can anyone recommend a reliable omugwo service that can assist with a new born in the Ontario Toronto area? The couple resides there but dont have family to come around to help after birth.

@hotstepper please help out.

Morning All,

Please what does one take with you to pick up one's passport at TLS?

Kindly assist

Hello,

Any idea if this still works?
I just did it and want to know the timeline for when Unilag will upload same.
Also, how safe is it to send in ome's password and if this is really necessary.

haftob:
Open a scholastica www.scholastica.ng account.
Then proceed to unilag transcript website to order your transcript. When filling the form online, type the scholastica address and also indicate ur username and password and tell them to upload ur transcript there, then u download it from scholastica. You have the softcopy and u can use it to do ur admission runs. If u get any admission and the school requests for hardcopy, just order ur transcript again to be sent directly to the school. That's how I got mine and it was uploaded in almost 4 weeks and it was during the recent NASU strike.
You just pay for the transcript processing and the fee for upload. I paid total of 3k5; 2k5 for transcript and 1k for upload. Attach ur remita receipt u used to pay when filling the online form, there's a space for that.

If u want the hardcopy, just look for someone working for a big organisation, then order to have ur transcript sent to the office address, they will send it there, just make sure u pay the appropriate fee for it to be sent there. U will see the fees on the transcript website.

never mind. figured it out.
