Thank you for your help.

It depends my DD school(creche )is 7am-7pm

StrongWoman333:
Good day Mamas please I have a challenge. What is the maximum time you leave your babies in school? Especially one that is not yet 2years. As my place of work I don't close early sometimes please I need opinions and advise as a first time mum cos this issue is really giving me sleepless nights. Thank you

Get cotton seed and sugar cane leaves boiled them together for like 30mins and drink it. It serves as your water,discard after 24hrs .Do it for 4days.Pls do not give baby to drink, if you are lactating well, i will suggest you pause formula for now. It was raining then, I did not make use of the sun but the weather has changed now. Expose LO to early morning sun for like 20mins btw 8am-10am, pls cover his eyes. DS sb level was 14% when I went back the 4th day it has dropped to 3.2%.
Please I beseech thee wake LO up to nurse every 3hrs, so baby can poo well. Calm down, this phase shall pass.

chisun89:


Pls ma how did you manage the jaundice?

My baby was like this and I told my MIL that it seems my baby has jaundice cos the sleep wasn't normal. She gave me a negative look but my mother instinct won't let me rest. I took my baby to hospital and it was confirmed. Called my Dr Aunt, she said if I lyk my DS I must wake him up to feed at least every 3hrs so he can pass it out through poo. I started waking him by running tap water on his leg. I didn't say ur baby has jaundice but most babies with jaundice sleep excessively and you must wake them up to feed if you like them cos they need to poo a lot,to flush jaundice out of their system.

chisun89:
Good day mamas, reporting from pregnancy thread, had my baby on Friday last week.
Pls how do I wake my baby to feed, heard newborns are to feed every 2-3hours but this girl can sleep for 5hours especially after bathing, am worried she’s not eating enough

Secondly, she has not pooed for 2days now, she’s on formula and breast milk, she takes water very well too.
Pls help a Ftm

Soulpower:
Hello all

Sorry is a long post, thank you for reading.

I got a very fast refusal. Submitted this November and got a refusal this November.

Reasons for Refusal

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your travel history.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status

My application was attended to in Kenya (Online Route)

I intend to seek new admission, I want to go for masters or postgraduate program and my CGPA is 3.05 (Computer Science) on a 5 point grader, my previous application was for an advanced diploma.


My application didn't pass eligibility review and the day I did my upfront medicals was the day I got the refusal, can I still use the medicals as upfront for my next application? IOM only gave me a printout stating that I did upfront medical and they said they will submit the rest to CIC.


Please, do you know any school that can accept me? Kindly recommend.

Bosses in the house, please advise.

Congrats,prayer works. I prayed I prayed and Jesus answered me ,it is well with your soul

rotormast:
Application Approved on the 23rd of Nov.

First application was denied in January and reason was based on Financial ground.

What I did differently:

I prayed

Did medical insurance

Tuition deposit of 47,000 CAD

Shorten my SOP to just 6 lines and straight to the point

I prayed

I prayed

I prayed

I prayed

I will be travelling sometimes in December to do an aviation upgrade program.

Sorry about your delay,it is not too late to order for your note but you can defer your admission to spring. Write a well detailed SOP and commit the rest to God.

Blessedness456:
Greetings house. I've been a silent reader on this page unfortunately after I had already submitted my application in October via paper route. I saw mistakes I made and I must admit I realized my SOP was also weak as I had little guidance. Got refused yesterday. Wasn't broken as I am determined to get things right this time. Please is it not too late for me to apply for GCMS note as it takes up to 30 days? Resumption is for January. I am also yet to get the correspondence letter on refusal to know their reasons. I saw the refusal in my CIC account. Please I need your advice and help as I wish to apply as soon as I can. Thank you.

Sorry for the delay,you can order for GCMS note to know the reason for the delay. If this is your dream don't give up on it.

LekwachiJJ:
Hello everyone..Pls pardon my long post. Finally my visa came out today after I submitted my passport on 18th September. I want to give the glory to God and thank everyone here especially those make very insightful contribution, the type that gingerred me to take some steps.

Mine is a strange one. Applied on 11th May. Biometrics on 23rd May. Medicals on 23rd August. Passport request on 18th September. And then everything came to a stand still for over 2 months. Within this period I submitted over 7 CSE webforms and wrote over 10 emails to Lagos VO but got maybe 2 responses. Meanwhile my online status remained at a confusing situation: eligibility review ongoing, meds passed, background check ongoing but application approved and passport requested. By October 18th I received a mail asking me to send in updated bank statement in a new format: bank statement request ticket plus password. My bank had not implemented this new format and so gabe me a cover letter to add to the normal statement. And then nothing again.

My last webform was responded to with the story that my application was in London. I wrote London last week and complained about the restriction of my movement for other personal and business travels outside of Canada with the continued with holding of my passport. London responded that my application has been approved since September and that they are aware my passport was dropped at VFS, can I go to VFS for "printing of your visa". So confusing! VFS does not print visas. Even then my many visits there revealed thar my passport was at the embassy.

Finally yesterday morning as I was driving to Anifowose instead of VFS as directed I got a call to attend an interview this morning. I was there by 6 am and by 8.30 I sat in front of an officer who told me my bank statements were not clear or legible. This is bery untrue as I scanned them myself. After barely looking through the updated statements I brought he asked me to wait for 10 minutes and in exactly 10 minutes my passport came out with my visa!

I applied to study MA Communication in UOttawa. My first degree ia in Pol Science, over 27 years ago. I had an MBA since 2001 and am a very mature appliacant. My SOI stated that after working in communication for over 2 decades I needed to retire to academics by studying in Canada and merging my long practical experience with serious academic scholarship for the benefit of my future students.

Document attached:
1. Acceptance letter and Statement of Intent
2. Dom account statement with over 100kUSD
3. TD acount statement with 40kCAD
4. Letter of employment, payslips
5. Travel history to Canada, US, UK, SA, etc
6. Scanned passport data page ( passport valid till 1st June 2019. So while waiting I applied for renewal and added the new passport via webform and email).

I did not add any property or evidence of family ties beyond what I filled in the family information form. Just the above.

Bottom line while waiting, I prayed and fasted like never before especially after I was told my application was in London.

My admission was deferred to Winter with the kind understanding of my faculty and I will be travelling by God's grace before new year. My testimony I did not lose faith in the power of God despite the odds against me as shown in many of the tesimonies and feedback in this forum especially about long gap from last degree

I pray everyone here will have a good story to tell and bery very soon in Jesus name. Amen.

Congrats RachaelD

Biometrics was done a week after
Submitted about 5m in my brothers account and evidence of fixed deposit 10m
License to practice
Statement of purpose
Letter of attestation from sponsor
Letter of introduction from work and bank
Payslip for sponsor and mine.
My statement of account didn’t fit the size so I didn’t submit.

Just generic responses.

Submitted on Thursday, counterfoiled Friday, letter of correspondence on Saturday.

Picked up today.

It is only God that made it possible, I didn’t even pray so much but I always left it in his care whenever I could as I felt defeated. If you don’t believe in God, I don’t know what to tell you because I’m sure he’s the one that came through for me. I even submitted all my additional documents in financial support side instead of with SOP and I still forgot to submit some.

Congrats lummy11, God that started the good work will perfect it

MeinKampf:
Application refused. Purpose of visit is the only box ticked. I wonder what purpose of visit again, after going for MSc. I applied on July 8th. It's so painful that after waiting for 16weeks, it still ended up as refusal

Sorry abt your delay but where did you apply from?

SetApart78:
Hi guys,

I've just received a refusal message. I applied through paper route on 21/10/2018 and I received the refusal message this morning. The reasons for my refusal are:
1. Pursuant to Section 219 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulation, I am not satisfied that
you:
i. have sufficient and available financial resources, without working in Canada, to pay the tuition fees
for the course or program of studies that you intend to pursue.
2. You have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at the end of your stay. In reaching this
decision, I considered several factors, including:
i. immigration status in country of residence.
ii. purpose of visit
iii. employment prospects in country of residence.

But my application was supported with the following documents, in relation to these refusal reasons

1. I made a part payment of $19,300 towards my tuition fees out of $25,700 for the two years Msc program and receipts attached
2. My sponsor's (father in-law) bank account statement with a closing balance of N4.5m after making the part payment
3. My account statement with a closing balance of N2.2m (Nigeria account statement)
4. My recent employment offer letters (5), both the ones I accepted and those declined. This was to show employment prospect.
5. My employment visa in country of residence.
6. My six(6) months bank statement in country of residence, and
7. Letter from my employer

These were added to other documents to support the application. I am a bit confused on what next to do in order to address the VO's concerns.
The program is starting by January and I need to reapply ASAP.

Please help.

Congrats, indeed God is able

Hi nairalanders, I am a silent reader. I got to know about this group 6weeks ago. I got approval for student visa this morning and want to share my story.
I graduated bachelors in technology in Aerospace engineering india on that 31th of may 2018. I graduated with first class with gpa of 9.4/10 (or 4.7/5 Nigerian equivalent). I got admission to do my master in aerospace engineering for fall 2018 at concordia university. I applied for my first Canadian visa with 6 weeks left on my indian student visa. (At that time the processing time in india have climbed to 7weeks). After 5 weeks I withdraw my application in order not to overstay my visa which will be a very bad thing for me and came back to nigeria. I defferd my admission to winter 2019 and applied for study permit in Nigeria paper route on Sep 17 ,2018. I started reading nairaland and boy O' boy i got freaking scared. After 5 weeks i got tired of all this and applied for fall 2019 intake at the best aerospace institute in france . This morning I got approval. Sidenote: I am not religious and the constant reliance on a supreme being to help your visa chances in this group got me a bit irritated. But I respect everyone's view and perspective.

Timeline:
Degree: masters in aerospace engineering
Submission date: 17 Sept 2018 with upfront medical and bio. ( I used the one I did in india for both medical and bio)
Submission type : paper route
Linked my application on the third day
Eligibility review started on the 22nd October.
Approval on 2nd November
Time taken 6 weeks and 4days

Congrats to your family

I want to thank everyone in this forum. My wife’s SP and son’s TRV just got approved and PPR sent. She’s 40years! Never too late to study. She had BSC sociology (2002) over 16years study gap. Another Bachelor Degree in Public Health, Almighty UNIVERSITY OF LETHBRIDGE! Her first ever TRV. I started to follow this group on her behalf since June, but because of some technicalities( about the forms IMM) we opted for an agent.
I want to encourage everyone still waiting, Your miracle is on the way. This group helped us a lot and I will always look back. Thanks a lot. Timeline to follow anytime soon.

Congrats, it will end in praise

OFFICIALAEL:
Good day all.

First I want to thank everyone that has been contributing to this forum. You all are well appreciated.

I just got my medical call up, after applying a second time for a student visa. I believe we will all get to the finish line with reasons to celebrate.

In my previous application, I ensured I ticked all the boxes required. I had one yr tuition paid, had the required amount in my dom acc, provided my sponsors supporting docs, bank statement etc. Wrote a good enough SOP and also provided land doc gifted to me as “home tie” but unfortunately I was denied based on home ties, travel history and purpose of visit. I didn’t request for my GCMS note, because I didn’t have the time.

In my follow up application the docs I changed were both my bank statement and that of my sponsor to reflect current balance and a new SOP.

In my SOP I highlighted the reasons why I was denied in my previous application and I addressed each accordingly. I think it’s very important to point out valid reasons why you are going for your program and what you intend to do afterwards. Also point out why it took this long to take a decision to study overseas, how you’ve been of assistance to your family here no matter how little and how you look forward to coming back home to do more for both your family and society.

I should also mention that I wrote to CIC during my wait period for update. You won’t blame me, it was over 3months that I had applied.

Lastly, I trusted God to have his way no matter the outcome.

I have booked my Medicals. Next will be looking up tickets ( the prices are scary, MUST I BOOK ROUND TRIP ? )

Best regards
