Austacus:
Oga frank, greetings from maple land

Nwannem Austacus! I greet you. How is life treating you over there?. I am happy to see you here again.

udomas:
No. I only received a notification through my email to login to my account for a biometric update.

Be hopeful! You should receive an update on your account within a short time from now.

udomas:
Application type: new application
Route: online
Date of app: Feb 21st
Biometric collection letter notification : Feb 22nd
Biometric capture / update : Feb 25th
Application status : Submitted starting from then till date.
School resumption date: May 6th 2019 but with a new date being Sept 3rd 2019.

Hello,

Ever since you applied for your visa have you received a biometrics validity letter? This will help me determine the status of your application.

Asapant:
Good morning all.

Do I need to add a letter of introduction to my app from where I did my student I.T stating they will employ me after am done with studies in Canny

Note I just finished my nysc this yr and still young

Yes you can. It shows that your employability is considerably high upon the completion of your studies in Canada.

sillysassysally:
Not much good news... Processing time is now 10 weeks from 9 weeks as at last week.

It's getting closer to the peak period. I don't see the processing times decreasing again rather it would significantly increase as time goes on. The Canadian embassies have started receiving tonnes of applications from prospective applicants. I would advice applicants to start applying for their visas so as to be able to meet up with their resumption date.

It's nice to be back again. Thanks to everyone (JustMellow, Bracha, Austacus, Qukdom and co...) that has been assisting in rendering selfless service to this thread during my absence. It shall end in praises.

@Frankrobbn1
Good morning, I am new here and just got admitted into a college for a graduate studies. I will like to have a talk with you personally if you do not mind
Here is my email address: itohanuzama@gmail.com

I will love to here from you soon. Thank you

Hi MercyItohan,

How may I be of help to you please? I rarely come online these days due to my recent tight schedule..... Can you ask your questions here and I'll respond at my convenient time.

Thank you

Questionner:
This is not correct. I applied with a conditional offer letter and still got approved. The conditions i had to meet were just submission of original certificate and transcripts which is same for that in question.

ify85:
Yes I got approved with conditional offer. You need to address it in your SOP that you have applied to your university to send them your transcript.

The moniker made it seem like I am passing a misleading information to the OP. The advices I render on this window are strictly from the wisdom of my experiences which I have enjoyed for over the years as an active member of this reputable platform which I believe many can attest to this. I don't do a guess work here . Every point I make are always backed up with adequate proof and relevant experiences from different applicants encounter which can be seen from these two successful applicants (Questionner and Ify85). I have seen several cases where applicants were approved of their visas with a conditional offer which indicated that their full acceptance into the program is pending until the receipt of their official transcripts.

As I always say on this thread, mine is to advice you. Above all, it's your decision to make on whether to follow the advices or not.

Nice job you're doing here @DMerciful. If not for anything, I respect your time and effort towards assisting others in securing their TRV.

It shall end in praises for everyone here.

DMerciful:
This is not the condition the op is asking. He is asking if you're given a conditional offer pending when they receive your official transcript and wants to know if you can apply with that conditional offer and I maintain it's a capital NO!

Since the transcripts takes 2 months from now, the applicant can go ahead and apply for his Visa. During the course of processing the applicants visa, IRCC will request for the unconditional offer prior to the issuance of VISA. The applicant can as well send the unconditional offer once he has received it from the University.

DMerciful:
You cannot use conditional offer letter, that's why it's conditional, admission is unconditional if you fulfill the conditions timely. Go to your school and get them to send your transcript expressly and if it means facilitating the process so be it!

Are you insinuating that applicants with conditional offer letter can't be approved of their visas? Let me tell you why that suggestion is not right. IRCC clearly stated that applicants with conditional offer of acceptance can apply for their Visa provided that they can meet the conditions established on their acceptance letter. There are so many applicants who doesn't have strong academic background on their proposed program probably because they didn't study a course related program in their first degree, as a consequence the university issues them a conditional offer on the account that they must complete some prerequisite courses prior to their full acceptance into the main program. This has never pose to be a problem and majority of these applicants were approved because they have shown that the conditions can be met once they get into Canada.

In summary, applicants with conditional offer can apply for their visa and will not face any issues at the Visa processing office.

To support my claims, please see the attachment with this post from IRCC offical website

I appreciate each and everyone of you who have volunteered in making this platform a productive one.

Henkubert:

Cc: Austacus, it appears that this your trick is working for everyone . You can as well voice the secret to me . Well done Bro.! Keep doing good.

Asapant:
I have more questions to ask. For online route should I make photocopy and notorize all documents ?

Once the copies of the documents are in coloured form you don't have to notarize them.

peruz:
Pls did you deactivated your PM ?

Hello,

I don't respond to PM'S at the moment due to my recent tight schedule which have kept me off from contributing on this forum. I didn't deactivate my account. Please feel free to always quote me by dropping your questions here and I'll respond at my earliest convenient time. Nonetheless, In my absence there are other knowledgeable individuals who are doing a wonderful job here that can contribute to seeing that your concerns are well taken care of.

Thanks for your understanding to those that sent PM's and I haven't responded. God bless us all.

Asapant:
Thank you for ur prompt response. For Online route how do one upload SOA for about 25 pages ?

It's a very easy process!.

1-) First and foremost, Scan the 25pages of the bank statement in a JPEG format.

2-) Secondly, convert JPEG TO PDF.....

3-) Furthermore... MERGE THE PDF FILES into one PDF.

4-) Finally, use this BEST ONLINE COMPRESSOR.. to compress all documents to 4MB. This compressor works like magic and can compress 100 pages PDF to 4MB without altering it's quality.

I made the process swift for you with the highlighted links. I hope you find it useful.

Good luck!

Asapant:
Boss.Is his application paper or Online, I am curious

It's a paper application. (The study permit questionnaire)

peruz:
Thanks.Is there a better chance for an applicant that paid upfront tuition?Do you any amount that must be in applicant account and sponsor?

I think I have answered this question of yours in the past week KINDLY CHECK THIS..

peruz:
Thanks for your response ,Please I would like to know your suggestion on this issue.Do you suggest medical should be submitted upfront or an applicant should wait till it's been requested of him/her?Does it make an difference if all documents that will be submitted are not red seal copy or is it compulsory they are red sealed?

Basically, IRCC made us to believe that upfront medicals speeds up the processing of an application. However, when an applicant undergoes an upfront medical exam prior to their application submission, the foreseeability of securing the visa is 50/50 as you will be left for a decision to be communicated to you. On the contrary, when applicant is instructed to undertake a medical exam during visa processing, chances are 90/100 that he/she will be approved. At the end you're left with the decision to select which you feel would work for you. With respect to your last question, it doesn't make any difference or impact. All documents can be submitted without being on a red seal copy, provided that the documents bears an official stamp or signature.

Good Luck!

Good evening house .. Sorry have not been able to come online after I was refused for the second time. I was down and needed to put myself together
My first application was 2017 July and was denied September
Second application was April 2018 and was denied February 1 2019.
University of Regina diploma in economics now want to change my program to PGD and also refire. Hoping for the best

After 10months of anxiously awaiting response from IRCC and yet got denied? These visa officers can be so cruel most times. Please put yourself together, take a deep breath, never give up, restrategize and present a persuasive SOP that will justify your reasons to why you're heading for an upper degree in this recent application instead of the previous diploma you applied with in the past. Endavour to seek counsel from knowledgeable individuals here to vet the letter for you and make possible changes where necessary before reapplying.

It shall end in praises in your next application.

Okattamgbee:
Greetings boss,

After paying 235 CAD for visa application and biometric, do you still need to pay any fee at the vfs office for biometric?

No, the 235CAD you paid during application submission is inclusive of the biometrics fees. Thus, you don't have to pay an additional fee for it at the VFS.

Asapant:
For paper route application Do I need to print application form online ?

Yes you need to download the forms online through www.cic.gc.ca with the aid of a desktop/System, fill with an updated Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, date, print and sign the forms with a blue ink pen.

Frankrobbn1,I wrote an sop relating agricultural science with environmental technology because I did some environmental courses and waste management during my undergraduate days.I related my nysc and final year research with it because it's all about dealing with environment and community.Is it compulsory to pay tuition before applying for a study permit?

It's good to know you're making successive progress with your application. With regards to question, payment of tuition fees prior to visa application is not a prerequisite to visa approval. Having said that, if your school doesn't require you to pay an upfront tuition deposit before the start of term, you don't have to do that. Simply submit your application with other supporting documents and bank statements showing clearly that you've adequate funds to cover for the first year tuition and living expenses and the possibility of funding for subsequent years is attainable.

JustMellow and Qudkom.... You've guys are wonderful! I have noticed your monikers for some time on this thread. I must commend that the contributions and suggestions from you guys are very insightful and helpful. Please keep up with the good works and more power to your elbows. I shall be here during my leisure time to contribute my quota to the good growth of this window.

It shall end in praises to each and everyone on this platform.

To all May June and July applicant slide in my pm, I have a secret for you guys.

I actually went to anifowoshe on Wednesday. The person I met just like me at first sight and he told me the secret then he prayed for me and wish me good luck. I may go back there and tell him thank you.

This visa suffered me.
The day I did my biometrics, VAC was still working till 8 pm that day, I left home around 7 and left VAC 7 pm. I was sleeping on steering... I almost had an accident that very day but God came through for me. So whenever I remember that day and imagine why my visa is still pending, tears will drop from my eyes and I will look up to God.

I contacted more than 150 MPs (senators) in Canada then on Wednesday I gathered mind and drive straight to Anifowoshe.

I was in the movies watching “Hotel Mumbai” as soon as they finished the movie, I saw the alert in my email address.

I will recommend you guys to watch that movie and thank me later.

God is indeed faithful

God bless everyone that is reading this my success story. Whatever you ask from God, don’t give up, he knows your worries. He will answer your prayer.
