Sigh of relief.

I have sent an email to IOM to book an appointment for monday; no response yet. Can I just show up there on Monday or does my appointment need to be confirmed?

Hi Guys,

My TRV was approved yesterday 13th.

Masters degree
Submitted 11th of May Paper Route

Medical Call: 13th of June
Medicals done: 15th of June
Medical Passed: I wasn’t interested, because I didn’t link my app online

Approval Mail: 13th of July
Processing Time: 9weeks

Financial proof:
Bank statements of two accounts (Dad)
Sponsorship letter from my Dad
Land properties documents
Tax clearance receipts.

Education and other docs:
BSc statement of result and transcript from Nigeria
MSc certificate and transcript from Uk
WAEC certificate
Birth certificate.
Police Clearance Certificate
NYSC Certificate
Conditional acceptance Letter
Print out of Application Page showing I have been accepted unconditionally.
Attendance certificate of my first master’s graduation
All applicable CIC forms

N.B:
1. I didn’t pay tuition fees before applying.
2. I paid for my flight ticket a month before I submitted my application (Funny right?...I was positive. I have saved almost 638,000naira compared to the recent flight fees)
3. I did all research and findings myself with no help. Google was my best friend
4. I have also not been involved in any activity since August last year (I did my first master’s graduation in July came back home August) so I did not get a study leave letter/letter of introduction from any work place. My understanding and research of Study gap is 2007-2011, 2013-2015: what where you doing in 2012?
5. Going for my second Master’s degree and not PhD. My BSc, first master’s and second are all related in the same field.
6. I did not write any SOP or letter of explanation to convince the VO that I would come back. (To be honest I am not coming back….lol! wink)
7. I did not also include my personal bank statement.
8. All the documents I submitted were photocopies except my dad’s bank statements and conditional letter of Acceptance.
9. My dad’s account that I used had less than 5million, combi of the two accounts. But there are lots of inflow and outflow in them.
10. I had a very imperfect application, I omitted one of my siblings in the form that had study questionnaire. (was so worried at first but I believed all will be fine)
11. I dint submit any birth certificate of my siblings, I have plenty of them. Two are based abroad and I didn’t include their bio-data to show their status abroad.
12. I didn’t not include my dad and mum bio data or travel history stamps or visas.
13. I didn’t link my application online, I felt receiving emails from CIC was better and less stressful.
14. I didn’t do upfront medicals cause I felt hearing from them will make me feel that all will be well.
15. I had like four certifications I never included in my application because I felt it wasn’t necessary.
16. I have been to the states just once with my 2yrs visa that expired in June during my app.
17. The sponsorship letter I submitted had a lot of alterations in black pen because no time to reprint and re-sign, my dad was too busy during that time.
18. We all can only try our best, no one can have a perfect application.
19. Pardon me for any mistake in my write-up. Rushing cheesy grin


I submitted my application before I discovered this forum, after I read a lot of comments here and what people submit, I was so scared, because I didn’t include so many things. But I believed in God and stayed positive. Please don’t be discourage to chase your dreams, the sky is your starting point. I hope this will be useful to someone.

Thanks for your time and all the best!!

I want to share my testimony here and thank u guys for the nice work u have been doing here. I have been a silent follower of this thread and I must confess that I am impressed by the selfless help being rendered well by you my wonderful people. Keep up the good work and may God bless us all.

I submitted my first visa application /study permit on January 31st 2016 with an up front medicals. On 13th March, I got an email that my processed passport has been dispatched to VAC office and upon collection, I was denied.

Reasons :
1)that I don't have enough money to pay my tuition fees without working in canada (by the way I was given a full Scholarship clearly stated in my admission letter) and,
2.that I may not return to Nigeria after my studies due to lack of assets here.

I addressed the concerns raised by the Visa officer and replied on 31st March (I was suppose to resume in May 1st, spring term).

To the glory of God who is ever faithful, the Holy Spirit my greatest friend and through the intercession of the Sweet Virgin, Our Lady of Perpetual Help whose Son refuses Her nothing,on 24th June, I got an email with a letter that the study permit has been approved and that my visa has been issued.
I also got very lucky, my supervisor approved deferment of my admission a day to the deadline before my admission will be automatically revoked.
So I will be starting this fall.

I must admit that the denial wasnt funny at all and the waiting was something else especially when I couldn't meet up with the Spring term n my supervisor refused to defer my admission because I have been denied visa earlier.

In all I give God all the glory.
For those of you who have been denied before, dont give up, dust it off n try again and for those who are still awaiting response from the embassy keep hopes alive and pray, the God that did it for me at the eleventh hr must surely arise on your behalf. Amen. It can only be God in whom all things are made perfect. I have be following this thread n have read stuffs people point out here as a case for possible denial but I told myself, my case is different if there are any lapses in my application, God pls perfect it. He did it for and will surely do it for all the hopeful here if you believe.

If anybody is going to Ontario this fall, I'll love if we hook up.
Thanks and God bless us all
Congrats, Hoping to get Good News Soon smiley
