APPROVAL ALERT!!!
First application!
Submitted paper application on the15th of May 2019
I linked my application on June 13th 2019, after which I saw that my background check and eligibility review had started. My application entered 9 weeks without a medical request. I started sending web forms and emails at the 7th week of my application. I sent emails to all the email address of the different immigration offices, although, I had a feeling that the Nairobi office were the ones processing my application. I finally got a medical request after 9weeks and some days.

Medicals done at QLife: 1st August 2019
Medicals passed: 10th August 2019
BVL: 12th August 2019

Application profile
Admission into PhD in Applied heath sciences, University of Manitoba, Fall 2019. I secured a scholarship (University of Manitoba graduate fellowship - 18,000 CAD per year) and I also got the IGSES scholarship (5400 CAD).
School fees: 12000 CAD
Documents submitted
1. Scholarship letters from UofM (total 23,400 CAD per year)
2. Academic transcripts (MSc and BSc)
3. CV
4. SOP (3 pages)
5. SOA from my parents, with a closing balance of 9.9million.
I used my mum's business account, my dad transferred some money (lump sum) few days to when I submitted my application. What I did was to make my mum the main sponsor in my affidavit of support and I attached their marriage certificate because the landed properties were in my dad's name.
6. Affidavit of support
7. Parents' landed property documents (we do not have a C of O yet, so I attached the survey plan instead and I also included the proof of payment for the generation of the c of o)
8. Parents' business documents
9. International passport
10. Parents' and siblings' IDs
11. Academic awards gotten in secondary school and university, leadership certificates
12. Birth certificates (mine and my siblings')
13. Parents' marriage certificates
14. Admission letter
15. WAEC and NECO certificate ( I submitted both because I couldn't use either of them alone, and I was really scared it would be an issue)
16. NYSC certificate
17. CIC forms
18. Affidavit for confirmation of name from high court and customary court ( I got this because some of my documents have different ways in which my names appear, some have my first name as middle name and vice versa. I was afraid about this, I thought it would be an issue because I was told that they can deny people visa because of things like this, but I thank God that it worked out)
I want to sincerely thank God Almighty. I was very worried because I had submitted my application weeks before I found out about this wonderful platform, and after reading through people's comments, I knew that my application wasn't tight at all. There were a lot of things that I didn't include, and I had a lot of red flags. I got my international passport march 2019 and that was my first ever, so you can imagine how suspicious that would have looked. No travel history at all, I had issues with my name, the program I applied for was different from my undergraduate and masters program, I used both my waec and neco results, I didn't explain the lump sum in the SOA I submitted and I also did not submit my personal account statement or any landed property. All I did was to make sure I explained in my sop that I'm very passionate about making a difference upon my return to Nigeria, and that I believe I would be able to achieve that by doing the program I had applied for in that particular school . God is really wonderful because even though I showed no proof of return other than my family ties, He still did it!
Thanks to all the gurus and friends on this wonderful platform. You guys are all so amazing, I really learnt a lot. God bless you!!
To all those still waiting for results, God will speedily deliver your approvals in Jesus name.
God bless you |
