processing time now 17weeks

Study permit, it was just an instance I gave...Do you have any idea on how it works?

Does the time of application affect the processing time? Let's say I applied when the processing time was 11 weeks, after waiting for good 5 weeks the processing time was changed to 16 weeks, do one need to wait for an additional 11 weeks instead of the 6 weeks one was having left?

Hello Nairalanders
Have touch down Canada. .the Poe experience wasn't bad. Though spent like 2 hours on the queue. I just gave the boarder and security officer my passport, the declaration form, admission latter, correspondence letter from cic and my tuition receipt. I was asked some basic questions like what's my purpose here, the school name and location and the course of studies, I belive is just to know if I'm a genuine student. After that I was issued work and study permit then got my social security number. That was all...been sleeping since is just 4:43 a.m here will update the house later....success to all applicants. Cheers !!!

Nice, we hope to join you soon

CanadianNurse:

Anyone that can help me apply for GCMS pls

Hi, what did u apply for? Study permit? What is this stuff about traveling history? Do you need to have travelled before a study permit is issued?

I spoke with a Prof, He agreed to supervise my PhD programm and he asked applied for the deans scholarship award for me and he said I should inofrm him once i hear anything from them . I have not heared anything, So i was suprised to see your post that you have been issued yours was declined. Does it means they are making the consideration based on department or what? I drafted a proposal which my supervisor accepted but he said that the dean scholarship award is my only hope. I will appreciate if anyone could shed more light on this.

If you haven't heard anything about the dean's scholarship as at now simply means you have been rejected (sorry for the harsh words). Your supervisor applied for you so he ought to have gotten the decision as at now. Better still, mail awards@usask.ca to inquiry about the scholarship. I also advice you mail your supervisor asking him about the result, he ought to have been communicated on the outcome. Lest I forget, have you gotten an admit?

michV:
do you have UPDATED ADOBE READER X? it should be able to open and allow you fill the IMM1294.you need not to be connected online via the internet to fill and validate such form

I will have to download that now, thanks. Talking of police report, I have gone through the application guidelines and nothing like that was mentioned. What do you think about this?

Folaroyal:

If i understand you.... Open the file, download and save on desktop. Open form from desktop and fill.
Regards

Many thanks but some of those forms ain't working for me, like 1MM 1294....I could not open it(I use Linux). Could you please send me a copy of the form?

[quote author=Folaroyal post=55112352]
I really need help. I am trying to upload some IRCC forms and it happens that I could not view it with the reader I am using. I have also tried using adobe acrobat to fill the form for online submission. My fear is that if I upload the form this way, the visa office might not be able to view it with another reader

Good Morning, please who is willing to review my SOP for the visa application?

SPOILT9JAOLOSHO:


Are you a Nigerian?

Yes

Any one in the house to help me on how to make this decision? Having secured admission and funding at the University of Saskatchewan, I am left with study permit decision. I am a student at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Rwanda and I will only be done in June. Meanwhile, if I have to study come September, I have to make application now. If I make applications on-line, I am not certain the institution will allw me to come back home for my biometrics; even if I do, how do I come back if my passport is collected? I am left with the option of applying from here...........The experienced ones in the house can advice, should I do it from here?

You have a good profile but the risk in your application is way too much
1. Purpose of visit
2.family ties in home country and whr u applying from (I don't really know ao to put this like the VOs does).

But just as @folaroyal stated above, probably your LOE/SOP can savage the situation. All the best.

Please, I am reposting this again, does anyone have an idea of what I am talking about in the online application.
"During the on-line application track, I found this question; but I was unable to open the list of 6 designated countries. Can you please help, those that are experienced with the on-line application eligibility form.

"Have you visited or lived in any one of the designated countries for 6 consecutive months in the last year?""

Please, during the on-line application track, I found this question; but I was unable to open the list of 6 designated countries. Can you please help, those that are experienced with the on-line application eligibility form.

"Have you visited or lived in any one of the designated countries for 6 consecutive months in the last year?"

wealth360:

Pm me so I can give you my number then we go relate well.

I messaged you......

Please, do I need to certify photocopies of documents I will be submitting to the embassy?

wealth360:



Mehn you are so favored. that grant is okay for you to add to any SOA you want to submit too. I was admitted into Mechanical dept. My Supervisor did nothing concerning grant or funding for me even when I ask if he has any assistantship for me, He told me ''NO'' I dont know why sha. I have gotten my TRV and I told him I have secured my TRV and some other questions. do you wanna know his reply? ''WELCOME. C.....Lol His name Prof Chris turned to C. well I pray sha that I will find favour also in his sight by God's grace.

Could you please take me through the study permit application................

ooooooooh, I think my supervisor has been nice sha, right from the day I contacted him, when he interview me with this research group and up till now(God's favour). I pray God will make a way for you. Are u still considering taken up the offer with personal funding?

House, my supervisor at the University of Saskatchewan mailed me last night just to inform me that the Dean's scholarship application he filed for me to support my PhD work has been rejected; although there are backup from his side. He categorically stated that this was based on the fact that the committee see me as someone with little or no research experience (I got a direct PhD admission to the department of biomedical engineering). From my supervisor's side the Canadian space agency has given him grants to support some of his PhD students, he later sent me a letter of assistantship that I have been awarded $ 20,000 for up to 4 years. Is this sufficient to show at the embassy, aside this what do the experienced ones think about this. Specifically, I have shown interest in one of the MRI projects the Canadian space agency has funded.

almeida3:

I sent you a PM

I have not seen that.

Osemigho:


In Unilag?

Nope, African Institute for Mathematical Sciences

dokkitaa:


I am interested in your kind of documents
-BSc course/grade?
-MSc course/ grade?
Did you get a supervisor prior to admission?

Thanks

@ Dokittaa, precisely I graduated from the department of physics, University of Lagos (first class); I also had a my undergraduate thesis published with my supervisor. I am in a Masters program presently with major interest in mathematical biology and modeling ( I am not even done with my MS program), my recent interest spans tumor modeling and I will be completing this program in June. I was admitted into a direct PhD program in the U of S i.e my admission does not depend on my Masters score sheet. For the last part of your question, I would say most schools in Canada without the exception of U of S has this policy of you contacting supervisors first; Yes, I did contact a supervisor who indicated interest in my work in the biomedical engineering department, we had a skype interview session with my prospective co-supervisor and it took like 2 months before he recommended me for admission.

Austinpee4:

Congratulation on your offer. Firstly, if you intend to use the school funding as evidence of available funds,you will have to wait for it before you can ascertain if it will be sufficient or not.

The proceesing time for a canadian study permit for nigerian applicants as of today is 17 weeks. However, this is just a window period, it could be less or more.

Aside sufficient funds, you will have to show strong hometie(s) in nigeria(family,business, employment, assets, etc) that will propel you to return upon completion of your program.
I believe with a PhD admission, your previous activities would have been in your intended field.

Officers MAY also want to know what your PLAN with a PhD degree would be, so you should consider writting a brief one page statement of purpose to elaborate on this.

Many thanks for your swift reply. I think aside the funding I am expecting which will be more than enough, I have got no job........From bachelors to PhD.... I will be able to show proof of landed properties of my retired parents. However, I don not know if this will be convincing enough to make the VO believe I will be coming back? It all depends on how I present my case.

Guys, I am Hamid by name. I applied to the University of Saskatchewan and my offer letter is here(PhD Biomedical Engineering), I await funding. Could you please let me know how long it takes for the Canadian embassy to process study permits? In addition, what documents do you think will be necessary for the application process?
