daezy22:Hi Aezy22, I do not work for these banks. Therefore, I will not argue their preeminence with you. However, you might want to improve yourself by picking a dictionary to check for meanings of "average" and "personal experience". I won't dignify you with any more response. Good luck! 9 Likes |

SaniceSanice123:Hi SaniceSanice123, I am not aware of any law in place that prohibits your friend from visiting the Schengen country in question. However, she might need to get a no-objection letter from the Student Support/International Student Services (ISS) of her institution or any department that is saddled with student support services. Most Schengen countries would require a printed 3-month (official) bank statement – this is where she might have a problem if she hasn’t operated a Canadian bank account for three months, but let us hope the country in question accepts an electronic bank statement from Nigeria. I hope this helps. 8 Likes |
Travel / How To Submit Form A from the Comfort of Your Home, Even When Outside Nigeria by Gigdraft: 9:12am On Aug 01, 2022 |
HOW TO SUBMIT FORM A With the scarcity and unstable rate of foreign currency in Nigeria presently, the most suitable option for a student might be Form A. At the moment, 1 USD is above N700, which is outrageous. Hence, I will be taking you on the easy process of accessing foreign exchange at the Central Bank of Nigeria or interbank rate. Note: the guideline below is a key to submitting your Form A form electronically – in the comfort of your home. How easy is that? How do I obtain foreign exchange at the interbank rate? Don't worry, it is simple, and I will take you through it. Step 1 Visit www.tradesystem.gov.ng Step 2 Click on GO TO PORTAL Step 3 Select Individual (as a student) Step 4 Enter your 11-digit Bank Verification Number (BVN) and click continue Step 5 Your BVN-registered email address will welcome a mail that contains a one-time password (OTP). Enter this password and click CONTINUE Step 6 Create a password, verify your email and activate your account. Step 7 Go to Form A and click on CREATE. Note: under Shortcut to Common Transaction Purposes, you should select Education Fee and Education Services, for Type of Services. Step 8 Fill out other sections of the form, which are illustrative. Attach documents such as your passport data page, letter of acceptance, school invoice, etc. Step 9 Submit the form and await your debit notification and payment confirmation from your proposed tertiary institution. P.S. This might take weeks or even months. I hope I have been able to straighten and clarify your haze. I can’t wait to read about your beautiful POE experience. 7 Likes |

bastardson:Hi Bastardson, I presume the admission is conditional. Oftentimes, this occurs when the tertiary institution is satisfied with an applicant's credentials and profile but not with his/her SOP. Most schools eventually withdraw the admission when applicants fail to satisfy the qualities they expect which in this case can only be expressed via SOP. If you have a conditional offer, just sit calm, identify what you are doing wrong in an effort to meet the school's condition. 4 Likes |

adeyinkaadetunj: Hi Adeyinkaadetunj, If I should start listing the tertiary institutions that accept NECO, the mod might be forced to create a new thread for me. We have more universities that accept NECO results in Canada than those that might reject it. Carry on with your application, and if you are doubtful, write the Admission Office of your school of interest for verification sake. 3 Likes |

MzWendy:Hi MzWendy, Unfortunately, you do not qualify for an additional expedited appointment at this time. Hence, I would advise you to defer your admission. Don't worry, the appointment portal will be updated later on. Therefore, you won't have to wait till May, 2023. Just keep checking the portal. Modified: I initially thought your visa was denied. Please go ahead and book another EA. I can't wait to celebrate with you. 6 Likes 1 Share |

In other words, the visa officers are presently assessing your worthiness to breathe Canada air and step on Canada land. If you are found creditable, your application will be transitioned to the next stage, which in this case is Medical Examination (Medical Request). Can't wait to celebrate with you! 10 Likes |

bullstriker: I wanted to ignore this but who knows those I could save? I am sorry, but you are not entirely right. Consequently, I need to address your response to prevent “Had I Known” from the Newbies. Your answer might be valid for a printed SOA. But how? Embassies verify the authenticity of financial documents by sending them to the issuing institutions. And, all the embassies could get from these institutions is, “Yes, we provided this document. It is genuine!”. That’s all. They do not elongate the process by including financial histories. This is why I affirmed your accuracy in terms of printed SOA. Now, why are you wrong? With the advent of MBS, embassies are accorded the right to 6-month period of your financial transactions. They can see your inflow and outflow. They can spot a lumpsum and query or deny your application for it. (Exline101, I hope you are reading carefully? In your own case, there was deviation from your usual inflow and outflow. And, I am confident that you employed a third-party Cooperate Account.) Now, if you claimed a fraction of your account balance is for your study in Canada and still went ahead to withdraw this same fund for something else, what outcome do you expect? A miracle? God is not dubious, My Friend. Recall, I told you they can view your six-month transaction - you can guess the result. My friend, Bigdaddy001, if I would answer your question, yes, you can make a withdrawal from your account but ensure whatever is leaving your account exempts your total of $10,000 (if outside Quebec) + your tuition. I hope I saved someone and haven’t wasted my time. @Bigdaddy001, Quote me when you have your PPR because it shall come to pass! 32 Likes 2 Shares |

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR VISA IS UNDUELY DELAYED I have noticed multiple complaints on this platform about the inordinate processing period for study permit applications. I empathize and could relate with the anxiousness, agita, distress, and uneasiness that are behind these complaints. Therefore, to bring relief and enlightenment, I have decided to offer insight on the right decision to take when your application is delayed. I love to say little but in my little, you will find a walloping fragment of sense. Hence, I will keep this write-up to the shortest length. What do you do when you experience an undue visa delay? 1. Raise a Customer Service Enquiry (CSE) Via the IRCC Webform Medium The webform is the most efficient and quickest channel of reaching the Canada Immigration Department to process your application. This medium was specially designed to make application tracking easier. Thus, it is the mama that you run to when your application exceeds the current processing duration. PLEASE CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO RAISE A CUSTOMER SERVICE ENQUIRY: https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/case-cas-eng.aspx?mission=Nairobi&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 The process is simple and illustrative. 2. Send an Email to the Department Processing Your Application Before you do this, ensure you have waited for 5 working days. If there is no response, then please go ahead and send them an email. As far as Nigerian applicants are concerned, most applications are processed at the Nairobi Office, so here is an email address that you should employ: nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca 3. Contact a Member of Parliament (MP) Once you have completed Step 1 and Step 2 and yet there is no change in your application, then you should create a friendship with patience for an additional 2 weeks. If after that, there is still no update of any kind, then you can write a Member of Parliament (MP) within the jurisdiction of your proposed institution. The office of the MP has unrestrained access to the Home Office, Home Secretary, and Immigration Minister. Such an office is equipped enough to raise an inquiry on your case, and you know what that could do to your application. I must caution you to be as polite as possible while doing this. Your issue is with the IRCC and not the MP 4. Hire an Immigration Lawyer Note: before you resort to this option, you must have ordered your GCMS note to ascertain what is causing the delay. If the GCMS note does not help, then instruct your lawyer to submit a Formal Request Letter on your behalf. Trust me, this has always worked. But, if it doesn’t you have the last option. 5. Request an Order of Mandamus from a Federal High Court This is an option I can only recommend to people whose applications have lasted for more than a year. When you obtain a writ of mandamus, the IRCC officials would have no choice but to prioritize the decision on your application. So far so good, I have not seen any mandamus that wasn’t honored within 60 days. But, as I earlier stated, make it your last resort. I have spared precious time to compose this for your enlightenment, and I hope it helps someone out there. Lastly, I will leave you all with Habakuk 2:3 Quote me when you have your PPR because it shall surely come! 63 Likes 13 Shares |

MALIGNANTGuest:You are digressing from the subject matter. Your main post portrayed your current residence as a space where maids, drivers, security details, and factotums are aliens. When I read your post, I felt like, "Oh yeah, another JJC thread". Everything you mentioned is in the western world as well but more prevalent in Africa. I might not be able to address the judicial aspect of your argument on the grounds of professional ethics and possible future repercussion, but I would advise you to clam down and observe.

I would implore you to cancel out the thought of using an agent for mere admission. Instead, research 3 schools that meet your preferences and return here to ask questions.

Olu1991: Hi Olu1991, The average time for a US-Visa Interview is 2 minutes. Now, tell me, what time do you have to deliver what you have here? VOs are psychologically efficient professionals. They do not need a blink to identify a well-rehearsed script. Yes, a script! "Why are you going to the US?" A simple question that could be answered in 10 seconds: “I am going to the US to pursue a Master’s Degree in Geographic Information Science at Michigan Technological University (where I will be taking courses like Advanced GIS concepts and GPS field techniques).” But, you ended up declaring your whole course catalog. Now, here is what you will do to help yourself out, Olu. Shorten this script by answering the questions above your responses. Reply without digressing. And, ensure you do not rehearse a script that you cannot deliver in 3.5 minutes. I hope you understood me? Quote me when you have your Visa because it shall come to pass. 28 Likes 1 Share |
