I do not think bank has stopped PTA because i got 4000 USD through PTA on Friday.

VICTORDEBELS:
You can pay through a bank, though, u'll pay abt % extra of the total fee. That is, for the CAD$100 application fee, u'll pay around 40k. Go to the bank and make enquiry though.

Its a denial bros...Start getting set to respond to it..U could move ur admissions to a later date and prepare to re-fire. Neva see Visa outcomes like ur life depend on it. Be in charge of ur life and be ursef.

Good day house,
I have a huge problem at hand.
I applied for the student visa and did the biometrics.
We applied through the online route
While we were trying to track the application on the cic portal we couldn't log in. My dad said he might have forgotten the password.
But after the biometrics, VFS sent me an email with the tracking number and there website.
Is this enough to track the entire application?
Would I be contacted for both medicals or passport through the CIC portal or through email?
What I'm saying is that can my application still go on as normal without being able to log into CIC but with the tracking number. Thank you house.

Happy sunday to you Nairalanders,

Please i need your help concerning my acceptance letter which am yet to recieve from the school... Although a mail was sent to me when i accepted the admission. This document is the only outstanding doc. I am thinking of printing out the mail the sent as acknowledgment to serve as the letter of acceptance. Will that do? I have mailed the school with my last strength yet no response. Please help.

Good. Please if you don't mind l might be contacting you for further info. Though am considering both Ottawa and Manitoba at the moment. Just trying to throw open my options. Is the tuition fee on UoOttawa's website is the actual fee?

Hello all, l have been a silent follower of this thread and l must say you guys are doing a great job. Please l have a question. Is there anyone that had applied to UoOttawa?Do l need TOEFL language test before application or Candidates from Nigeria are exempted? Thanks

Hi guys, I applied for trv on the 10 th of Oct and did my biometrics on the 12th of Oct. Anytime I check my status on the CIC website, I see this message as an update of my biometrics ........." Not needed at this time"


Abeg o,is anything wrong?

berexio1:
Its good u gave this figure, because I won't wanna go with the earlier assumption u made about ur bank statement not valid..

What has proven to have worked for undergraduates is a 2-digit Bank statement, becos the financial burden for them is more unlike the post graduates. So my dear, u need to increase ur balance, atleast from 12m upwards..

Lastly, I am not justifying presenting a statement over a month, bt if ur app meet what they are looking for and an updated bank statement is the only issue, they will usually ask u to supply it from experience. But as long as this reason is not on the generic reasons for refusal, it cannot be an outright reason for refusal.

I hope u get me.

Cheers, and goodluck with ur re-fire!

Cousins app was delayed after medical passed cos he had previous refusals at US embassy and he failed to indicate it on his im1294 while other reasons were added like travel history, length of stay, purpose of visit, personal asset n financial status. Pls what could be done at this point?

Hello,
So I have been following this thread since part 8 (after I submitted my application) but never commented. I just want to share my journey in order to encourage someone here.

Application submitted online 6th July (Postgraduate Executive Course)
Biometrics same day 6th July
Medical request 17th September
Medical done 28th September (all the public holidays affected me)
Took IOM one week to send it!
Passport Request 7th October
Passport submitted 8th October
TRV 12th October
Correspondence letter 13th October

I just want to say keep the faith and don't be discouraged, a lot of people who applied after me got their TRV before me but I chose to trust God. My application was for fall 2015 but I have deferred to Winter 2016.

Keep the faith!
