Who else is currently having issue with the "Check full application status" link?

Could server be refreshing? Check again after noon.

Toritseyemi:
Registration is by payment which i have made. No, only fall. So if i defer it is till fall next year. Deferral requests are not even guaranteed or so they say. The London vfs replied an email some days ago saying once i get a letter of approval, my study permit can be activated at the POE.

Wondering if it is a quota / slot system.. otherwise why wouldn't they use the resources used to reply your mail to send the Letter of Approval? Frustrating... Planning becomes so difficult as everything is hanging in the air!

I agree with you @makano,

These VO's are human beings, with families, with their own issues( family or work related etc) and personalities. That is why prayers are extremely important.

The race is not to the swift neither is the battle for the strong, its God that shows mercy.

It's not by how ''air-tight' or ''weak'' an application is. God's favor and grace can prevail over that completely.

I think each person should start praying for your VO, that they will be in the right frame of mind when they are looking through our application in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. This may seem funny but its the truth.

Goingforward.

Since we've gone religious, God may also delay a persons application to protect him/her... just like an annoying tire puncture or vehicle breakdown can help one avoid armed robbers/ kidnappers operating along your route or even a deadly accident.

Applied online: June 10th
Biometric request: June 12th
Biometric done: June 20th
Medical exam request: August 23rd
Medicals done: August 29th
Last change on status: August 31st; showing medicals.

My school resumed on the 4th of September, deadline extended to the 17th of September. Still no change. I have a valid Canadian visa, when i get the final decision, can i travel and get my permit activated at the POE or i still have to drop my passport?

Have you considered online registration? Does your program have winter start? Even if passport is requested now, seems almost impossible to get it back and arrive Canada before Monday.

Mr Kishkosh, The house is tensed, maybe that's why no one has attended to you. No one here is a VO or works in IRCC to know how to solve ur "Unable to login" Issue. This isnt a big issue as you have painted it tho. Kindly click on the "Forgot Password" button, if that didnt work, click on the "Report a problem" button. If that doesnt work then send a mail to their respective email addresses. This isnt a big issue. Peace

You have said it all.

Toritseyemi:
Good morning everyone, this is my first post. I applied for a Canadian study permit online and these have been my timelines:

Applied online: June 10th
Biometric request: June 12th
Biometric done: June 20th
Medical exam request: August 23rd
Medicals done: August 29th
Last change on status: August 31st; showing medicals.

I spoke to an IRCC agent on the 6th of September who said my application was being processed in london. I had sent several CSE's to CIC with no response asides the automatic response. Sent CSE to London VO twice, no response. Sent several emails to Lagos, Abuja, Accra, just receive automated responses.

My school resumed on the 4th of September, deadline extended to the 17th of September. Still no change. I have a valid Candian visa, when i get the final decision, can i travel and get my permit activated at the POE or i still have to drop my passport?

You are not alone in this boat.

Kishkosh:
Someone should pls help me naaaa. I earnestly seek your help guys. Abeg

Sorry Dear, all folks are confused at the moment. You are not invincible. Peeps with experience, Please assist.

mightyola:
Just got a mail from IRCC and i was denied.

Sorry to hear such news. At least you can find some much needed closure. With your positive attitude, I believe you will overcome the obstacles eventually as long as you do not give up. Take a deep breath, dust yourself up and get back to the drawing board. We all fall down every now and then, successful folks know how to resist the temptation of peacefully staying down by getting back up despite the turbulence.

Uzee24:
Gud p.m House,


Hope we are all doing gud.
The status of my 4 months old app has been reading submitted all this while and my eligiblity has been on since June. However, I just logged in some minutes ago and noticed that the status has changed to app/profile updated.


I understand this could be as a result of the system maintenance of yesterday, but there was visibly no change or anything new on my profile.


So I have been thinking... "Does it mean that my app has been left unattended to all this time and they just started looking at it? Or "Is this new status update for the eligibility they started reviewing since June but status update did not reflect in my account till now? STILL PONDERING!


Hang on guys, what will be...will be.

It can get frustrating when you are left guessing because of communication gap. Frankly, I don't know what it means. Seems you missed your German interview. Dilemma!

Concate:
Na so o. I already deferred to Jan '19 though I have not informed IRCC yet. I still don't know the best time to inform them.

Perhaps they may request for updated offer letter if the letter submitted initially was strictly for Fall 2018. I guess better to wait till they request.

Concate:
Thanks so much for the encouragement.

I got my medical call today and I'm hopeful that all will be well after the medicals.

Congrats. Some positive news at last

canadabyfire:
No approvals....no rejections....no updates....is CIC on strike??

Hmmmmmm! Patience 101!!

Hadastextiles:
Evening pals
Pls help a worried friend
I did biometrics July 23rd Bt since den it hasn't been updated. Dey sent medical request, Wc I did and dey already updated dat I passed Bt my biometrics haven't been uploaded yet.
What Shld I do pls?

When did you do medicals and when was it updated as passed?

I can understand what you are going through. When you receive any mail, your heart skips a beat and weekends are extra loong!

Hadastextiles:
Hahahahaha, u people don turn to vo's sef, Wc one is system refresh... Abeg I can't laff jewe

My bros/ sis.
OBJ turned to Pastor while incarcerated
Sen Jang started preaching to fellow inmates when he was locked up
Journalist Jones Abiri became head pastor in DSS detention

I've come to realise that there's one thing in common between peeps detained and those with application in IRCC detention... You won't know when you become very holy and you start formulating theories. Have been hearing lots of prayer and fasting after approvals. Those wey dem bounce no pray and fast? I don't hear prayer and fasting confession from delayed peeps.

It is well oh! May those that missed the main fall flight be carried on the left baggages train to the same destination. AMEN.

The thread is fast mutating to Winter 2019... Soldier go, soldier come!

Goodluck to Season 2019, meanwhile, fall applicants should hang on strong to that string of hope and remain positive. Perhaps they saved the best for last.

Biakwa:
Good morning,

Who knows if they have finished with their upgrade,has anyones status changed, changed to what

Maybe system will refresh by noon.

Lot's of individuals and families couldn't fly yesterday because of eTA as their system was down and airlines refused to let them board. System is back up now though they may have bigger issues to deal with.

Kemsure30:
Good morning house
I sent a web form enquiry on the 30th of aug after waiting for 11 weeks so they replied this morning from the Lagos office but it was the London office I sent the message to,they said my application is under active review

I pray you hear positive feedback soon.

goingforward:
Hello Nairalanders,

I release the ministering angels of the most high God to go forth and deliver our TRV's this week in Jesus mighty name.
Be of good courage, trust in the Lord, He is more than able to grant your said and unsaid heart desires.

June applicant still waiting for approval.
It will end in praises and thanksgiving in Jesus name. Amen.

Have a testimony filled week.


goingforward.

May your prayer replace this ominous silence with joyful noise.

Is a WES-evaluated transcript accepted by all schools in Canada, at lease for application to get an admission?

After you have been granted admission, will the school still accept the WES-evaluated transcript (can WES send the transcript in hard copy?) in lieu of your transcript from your school?

Please clarify me so that i can understand how doing a WES evaluation can save me money

I think WES can send it by fax or transmit it to the school electronically. I've been using WES and ICAS credentials and have never had cause to go back to my school for another transcript. Problem is that my WES evaluation took over 6 months because they wrote my school to confirm but it wasn't treated. The academic office staff said they were not in receipt of such letter. Months later, I visited the academic office and there it was sitting in a file along with multiple other letters for verification (the poor applicants will be waiting not knowing that their letter is rotting away somewhere)! Kai... Naija!

bayocanny:
WES is not use to verify results rather it is use to evaluate transcripts. it's depends on your intended school whether you're to evaluate your transcripts or send the it directly to your school.
look for schools that will not require you to evaluate transcripts in order to save you some penny.

WES stated on my assessment report that they independently verified the authenticity of the results by directly contacting the school for confirmation (Method of Verification of Authenticity). I think they don't do it on all applications but just verify some randomly or if it is suspect because of method of posting. For instance, if your school sends by NIPOST and yours is delivered by DHL, they may write the school directly to reconfirm.

On the contrary, WES may also save you money if you request them to send your evaluated transcript on file electronically (which is fast and reliable) rather than going through the stress of returning to your school for transcripts to different institutions every now and then.

I sent a mail to MUN and got a response that my WAEC result must be 'official' i.e sent from the exam body directly....I know some other universities in Canada that accept scratch card only.... Are you in MUN or are you planning to attend MUN?

No. Best wishes

Emmyirab:
Hello, I am not an MUN applicant but I went through this process last year, when IERF asked me to send my confirmation of result to them for evaluation.

I went to WAEC HQ in Yaba, with an affidavit of confirmation of result, a print out of my WASSCE result and some other things I can't remember now.
It was easy, took about 30 mins.
When I got there, I was charged about 10k for the confirmation of result. After paying, they directed me downstairs to go meet a UPS courier agent whom I paid 9k to, for the courier service (mine was going to the US, I don't know how much it would cost to send to Canada).
It took about 2 days for the confirmation of result to be printed and given to UPS, then about 5 days before it got to the US.

Can this not be avoided with WES evaluation?

makano:
CIC wanna do another System maintenance by Tuesday Next week. Updates on applications go yapa next week. For the peeps expecting updates from CIC, next week is gonna be pregnant. It shall end in praise oo.

Does it usually happen this way?

Ormohlawlah:
Hello,any MUN undergraduate here?
I need WAEC to send a confirmation of result to MUN. WAEC gave me a list of things to come to their office with,this includes a sworn affidavit from court. Has anyone been through this process? How can I get this sworn affidavit?

Is this after sending WAEC scratchcard?

candygist:
Visa rejected ... someone should give me hint on how I can correct my wrongs in my next application

Bros,
You needn't put your name and address part. You for cut the top out.

mightyokwy:
Bros any advise on how to tackle this. Pls

Try to get your case notes first.

mightyokwy:
It's refusal. I left the visa office just now. Amy either on what else to do?

Sorry about that. I note that you were refused on 2 grounds which may be easier to tackle that multiple reasons.

reichwolf:
Hello guys I was supposed to go for a 2 year program starting Fall 2018. But due to being over 3 weeks late I will probably be deferred to Jan Winter 2019 by the school. Luckily though I was recently asked to go drop my passport for visa stamping. So I wanted to ask what will be the duration of the TRV they’ll stamp in my passport?

Waiting 2 weeks and perhaps surviving 2 weekends between medicals passed and Passport request must be heart wrenching....

You will soon know the duration... It is the least of your problems now. I guess you're wondering if it will cover the new period. You'll easily cross that bridge when you get there.

GodgivenGrace:
Good morning Guys

Am very sorry I was asked some questions here which I couldn't answer because I had issues with my phone when I posted good news.

Please I need some clarification as I want to book for flight now

I have a one year multiple TRV, please is it a most to book a return ticket because is a year program?

Or is there anybody that travelled recently with a year TRV without giving issues at the border?

Please your advice will be priceless for me as I want to book for my ticket now.

Kindly help a brother out expecially people that travelled recently.

Thank you all

Don't think you need return ticket. I guess you have post study option open after you finish your program.

futureenergy:
It's only by going that you will find out.
I'm not saying your application was approved but it's possible. There's a recent soft-pedalling on medicals by Canadian immigration.

My brother, after all said and done, we didn't hear from her again. Sorry but this thread would have learnt a lot from her apt.

She started making inquiries on US visa thread after going silent here. I was surprised. If she was approved, I guess she would have told us.... If not, she wouldn't be the first so I don't see why she'd have to just blank the house. Every now and then frustrated or anxious silent observers scream in confession and find some solace in the house -some disappear again after obtaining some level of comfort without caring to provide others emotional support during other people's time of psychological imbalance. I decided to give her some time believing that after some much needed privacy, she'll get back to us so people can learn from her adventure whether it be positive or negative. People handle joy and shock differently so let's understand.

I suspect she got answers here at her time of need but turned her back on the house eventually. Is it something in our blood? Having come from the UK one would have expected a higher level of integrity (...for here I was, worrying if she had been kidnapped or something bad had happened to her like an accident or ill health). Lesson to be learnt is that we shouldn't think less of our people on ground and more of the people away.

We can only wish her the best as I don't expect her to come back making inquiries on this particular thread again very soon though she will always be very welcome. In case you are reading this comment.... If things didn't go well as planned, don't lose hope, we may not understand how shattered your plans have become... But things usually get better with time once there is life. IRCC has cut many tongues before. Sometimes, you can almost beat your chest about your airtight application until they embarrass you. Meanwhile, if you feel some folks here misled you, I apologise on their behalf - Providing feedback may help others avoid falling into the same pit.

I suspect she contacted some people like frankobyn or Jnyuwa02 after then privately. Until you guys brought it up, I thought it best to respect her privacy thinking I was the only one who noticed her action.

If I have spoken badly (especially using the word 'integrity" - I was looking for a better word)... Please forgive me. Meanwhile, It would be such a wonderful relief to know that you forgot us because of over celebration having received positive feedback on your application status -though I guess you might have remembered to further inquire about flights from Naija.

Lastly, I noticed she was viewing the topic (as herself, not guest oh) when folks said she will soon get back to clarify the medicals issue.

Good morning, afternoon, evening or night depending on your time zone to my fellow Nigerians all over the world!
Teki-nology is good.

papijulah:
Thank you! Yours is on the way.

I hope you've not been avoiding VFS out of fear oh!

Seems you've been peeping from a distance since they said you should come for your passport. Nothing man no go see with these folks. They test your patience level.

You will go there with enough confidence now.... Just kidding!
