ORIGINAL PASSPORT REQUEST!!! (May applicant)

Experience is truly the best teacher, and my Canadian Sucess story made me believe the saying “EVERY DISAPPOINTMENT IS A BLESSING”!!! I know very well my story will motivate or strengthen some people never to give up in whatever that interests them, pursue it desperately like your life depends on it!! Yes I mean it.
Before I proceed, below is my timeline.

Online Application (2nd Application)
Submitted May 9th (10:57pm)
Upfront medicals passed on 11th June
Correspondence letter (today by 10:12am)
Original passport request (today by 10:32am)

This experience is my most difficult experience in life so far, I have always thought I can have anything I want in life but this Canada journey taught me that “Human beings can make any plans they want, but it’s God that decides their Sucess or failure”. I don’t even know where to begin from, but only God, Myself and @frankrobbn1 can tell my tragedy-comedy story.

So exactly a year today 20th June 2018, I submitted a paper route application and It was refused within 4weeks based on family ties, purpose of visit , personal assets and financial assets. Meanwhile, I have a Bsc in Biochemistry with overall CGPA 4.15 and last two year CGPA 4.71 , going for 2year diploma, paid tution fee $8,880cad.
when I received my refusal letter, I cried that very day like never before and till date my first refusal date 18th July,2018 still remains the worst day of my life, and the agent my parents used was just after money. After crying, knowing how bad i needed to leave this country I woke from my comfort zone and began my personal research, this was how I came across this wonderful forum and started reading up!

Through this wonderful platform I met an angel in human form, a motivator, my soulmate and my support system @frankrobbn1, may God bless you richly for me. Frank took his time to explain the errors in my application starting from advising me to secure a masters admission and that is nearly impossible to convince a VO on why diploma and not masters considering my high Gp, and secondly that my application is as empty as anything, I didn’t even submit my family’s information, no assets declared, no employment evidence and so on.

So I began my admission hunt and the devil started his work. Almost all the schools offering my course/ or related course requires a supervisor , and you know how difficult securing a supervisor can be. Some schools I contacted will tell me pump and play that I must identify a supervisor before applying while some will tell me to apply that they will assign me a supervisor once am admitted! I fell to their tricks and lost my application fee, I also tried contacting supervisors all kept turning me down. I kept sending countless mails to different supervisors in different universities all to no avail, some would always come up late with their negative mails of not having space in their lab while some will totally ignore me. I got feed up and I decided to stop sending mails but to call them on phone at least to get a straight forward response rather than waiting for their response that takes weeks and at the end must be negative. I made it as one of my daily activities to call at least 10 supervisors daily, and I did this for months!!! Even the ones that later accepted to supervise me though without funding just all of a sudden will deny even knowing me after I have submitted my application hoping I have secured a supervisor.

In general, I applied to 6 different universities in a space of 8months and all turned me down. I kept asking myself who did I offend? who is after my progress? Through this same wonderful forum I met a very nice fellow @agronat. Immediately he posted about him securing a masters admission with funding, i pm him to put me through, and that was how I realized the vital points/information missing out in my application and the reasons behind my refusals regardless of my high scores. And today am glad that my finally attempt landed me a full fulled scholarship worth $38,076CAD at BROCK UNIVERSITY ONTARIO , 2 years MSc in Biotechnology. Big thanks to @frankrobbn1 for recommending Brock University to me. I nearly craze that day (April 18th, 2019)!!! NB: the scholarship covers my tution and living expenses with extra left, I was also guaranteed a graduate assistantship position. Isn’t God great? This was when I realized that God was preparing something greater for me.

Fast forward to my visa application, guru @frankrobbn1 finished work.. I personally wrote my SOP and LOE, but when frank was done reviewing it I couldn’t recognize my LOE and SOP .. lol, he reconstructed it and was even using the VO’s terms to address every issue. He sold me well and also left the Change for the Visa officer to keep. I can’t thank you enough.., even after I submitted my visa application he took me to a church where I was given 4 days dry fasting and prayers (something I have never done in my life). I’m not the churchious type but this journey brought me closer to God and will forever remain grateful. I will be traveling to lagos next week to submit my passport and at the same time celebrate this wonderful journey that ended well. Seriously my sleep tonight will be very special after one year of dreaming of CANADA �� Lol, and to @justwise thanks for making this platform possible.

Below are the list of documents I submitted with my application:

Prayer is the Key.

I wish all TRV hopefuls SUCCESS!!!

Stating your other countries previous visa denial or not has no effect to your your Canada Application.

Samuelpluto:

tosindavies00:
@frankrobbn1. Hello bro, please I sent you a PM. Please,kindly respond

alao1981:
Dear All, initial application in March refused on the sole basis of "purpose of visit". From the support on this platform, I have since realized that the reason is probably the SOP (8 pages and complicated). GCMS notes just showed up and the explanation is that "The applicant's Plan of studies appears vague and poorly documented". I wanted to confirm that this is indeed about the format of the SOP and not mean something else. Thank you.

Hollushola:
@frankrobbn1
for how long after a passed medical request should PPR drop?. i have two colleagues who have been waiting for over 3weeks.

abike12:
the question is not whether to fill the denial out on the form or not. the question is whether to write a letter of explanation to give further details

Samuelpluto:
I still feel its like shooting urself in the leg if u had been denied US visa and not canadian visa in the past. canadia visa denial should be given in details. bur US or other countries, why?

degxyflexy:
Is the visa application fee +biometrics fee 56,000 naira?

Samuelpluto:
sorry, is there any question like have u been denied a US visa before on the IMM1294E form?

Vesment:
please, like my certificates, my employment letter and study leave, id card, loe and sop, birth cert, land document be in one Doc
then my LOA and tution reciepts one doc
medial upfront one doc
statement of akant, sponsors ID, letter of sponsor etec be in one doc

shantelleasante:
Those of us who got BVL mail... Has nothing happened yet?

abike12:
good afternoon all. please should an undergraduate student write LOE since she was denied by the US embassy? she has not applied to Canada before. thanks.

Tvickie:
What if you’re on the eligibility review before you got the BVL? Is that a different scenario ?

bukonlami:
@Frankrobbn1
So what should one expect after BIL.

Whynotme:
OK. You're in order.
So you have to wait for eligibility review to start and probably then the biometric validity correspondence will come in. They are two different things

Whynotme:
Well said Frank, but I think the issue now is that no one has been refused. That's why we think its possible CIC have changes their format.
Cos even before Biometrics correspondence used to be sent at the beginning before, instead of at the end.
I'm thinking it's possible the format has changed.
What d'you think?

prospy01:
Hello everyone,
I'm an ardent reader of this thread since I applied 10th May via paper route. I just got a mail of my Biometric validity untill 2029/05/10, please does this mean a Medical Request will be a follow-up mail? Gurus help.

george009:
No and the process is really long with the new government stopping the process pending the probing of Rochas's Land allocations.

george009:
Hey, good evening everyone; I've been following this thread for a while and it's really been helpful;

I have some few questions with regards to landed property;

I recently bought a land to serve as my home ties and also have another land I'm building a table water factory both in Owerri; but my challenge is none of these lands have any C of O;

The only document I have for both lands is just Power of Attorney and unregistered survey plan;

So my question is, can I present the power of attorney and survey plan as home ties?

I really need your contributions,

Thanks

george009:
Please House, Can Someone help me with an answer to this question; I want to ensure I cover all lapses! Thanks

HighDee001:

Yes it does,I appreciatecthe contribution, but I will appreciate if you can laid more emphasis more on the tuition,do I have to keep it in my bank account or the sponsor must have it inside his own account?The truth is that I'm getting so much advise outside of this platform that it's more advisable to pay or I defer my admission. Please enlighten me more on this issue.
