symbian03: @ Phemmy, Newacca et all experiened.

My passport expires like 8 days before the completion of my program, and i also learnt that cdhc don't issue visa above the validity of passport! Now, should i just renew the passport before sending in my application?
Any implication to that? even though my passport is valid for like a year and 11 months. My program is 2 years anyways! Advise please
God bless

I've meaning to ask this question as I find myself in exactly the same shoe. Please experienced people here should throw light on this and let's know what to do before we apply for Visa.

@ Bumdish: thanks 4 responding and could you please find out from your friend how he was able to cope with the remaining one year that's if he has already expended the one year visa he was given.

@ Fhemmy that's very true. I made the request because of Paschal's peculiar case.I referred to his post and asked a question but got no answer. Please see my quoted message below and the question I asked to see if you can help. Thanks.

gini: This is interesting. Your first degree Engineering has nothing to do with HRM at least I have an Msc in IRPM so I know.

Please how did you go about answering the Study Permit Questionnaire as regards the point I made above. And pls what was your response to the question in the questionnaire that seeks to find out the difference in your proposed course off study and similar courses in Nigeri.

Am yet to make my visa application as am waiting for Harcopies of my Admission and Acceptance Letter from my school. The study permit questionnaire makes my heart skip each time I remember the questions on it. I don't know how best to go about answering the. Am going for an MPH in Canada. My first degree is in Sociology and I have a Masters in Industrial Relations and Personnel Management which is basically Human Resources Management.

Pls people any thoughts on this? Great ideas are welcome.

@ Bumdish and Dipo+ : Thanks for your help and input.

@ ojevsmack : I've added you on yahoo messenger, though the request is still pending.

@ Paschal137 and Fhemmy: will like to have your personal contact for communication if you won't mind. I can give you my email address or BB Pin whichever is more convienient.

bamshy: Filled forms (Questionnaire, family info, e.t.c)

Land documents and receipts

Letters from fund managers and statements of accounts including CSCS
Admission letter from College stating total living expenses plus tuition fees
Statement of purpose letter
Letter from employer stating annual income and employment date
Payslips for the past three months.

Is it exactly the Statement of Purpose Letter directed to the school used for your admission application to the Canadian schoolthat you added to your Visa Application or did you re-write and adapt it addressing it to the embassy? Please share.

bumdish: Request for Statement of Result (You will do dat at Records and Data, 1st floor Senate House). Your transcript is meant for Academic inst, while your statement of result would serve other purposes including embassy needs.Your Statement of result can be handed to you unlike Transcripts that will not be handed to you in Unilag. No need to cut corners.

Thanks Bumdish. The CIC website says Transcripts, I hope they wont mind the statement of result.

What's the statement of result like? Does it list all courses taken with Grades? Transcript lists all courses takken with points and the calculation of the CGPA. I just want to know the diffference between the statement of result and the transcript.

Which school will you be attending in Canada? What course and what is your start date? Good luck with ur Visa application. I'll like to be informed on your process as am yet to apply myself. Am waiting for the original hardcopy offer of acceptance and admission letter from my school. My start date is September 5th. In the meantime, am arranging my supporting documents.

You are welcome. But I should also let you know that like it is done in my alma mater, the school will specifically print the name of the institution that you asked them to send your transcripts to on your transcripts. In other words, if you asked that your transcripts be sent to XYZ consultants, XYZ consultants will be printed on the transcript. So except you are sure your school doesn't do the same thing in printing transcripts (which i doubt), or you are OK with sending transcripts initially printed for a different institution to the CDHC (which is stupid), u should reconsider.


concerning the part in bold, my alma mater also uses different couriers who send their staff too. I explained to the staff for the courier I had selected to send my transcripts to CHDC, and he gave me the transcripts (not without a promise of secrecy from me and some tip)

Thanks. Wouldn't do anything stupid to jeopardise my Visa. My school only writes the name of the institution requesting the transcript on the first page of it which is just a letter addressed to the institution stating that its your transcript and that its a conffidential document that shouldn't be released to you.

The thing is during my canadian school application, I needed my transcript cos a school requested a scanned copy which my school doesn't do. A staff in my school whom I approached for help told me she can't give me my transcript but that the best she can do is the plan I said in my previous post. She said that's what intl applicants do. The only thing is to just detach the first page letter and the other pages containing your transcript is still valid cos the registrars signature is appended on all pages. Besides, the embassies and intl institutions are no fools and will always check back at the school to verify the document. The most important thing is that the document is not falsified.

Thanks for ur concern.

@gini

My school also operates this system of not giving the transcripts to students but posting it to the institution. Usually, students wait till the transcripts is ready to be posted then include all other application documents (application form and all other supporting documents) in the envelope that contains †нє transcripts. This is more or less modus operandi, but this is what i did in my case. I collected my transcripts myself by arranging with the postman. I tipped him and persuaded him to hand over the transcripts to me. Having collected it, i put together all my other documents along with it and went to submit at VAC Ikeja. When I got to VAC and they saw the transcripts in an envelope, they asked me to open the envelope cos the CHDC won't open any envelope that is sealed. So i opened the envelope that UNAAB had put my transcripts, made copies (for myself ) and submitted.

Ok. Thanks a lot. I may not be able to use your method because my school uses different courier companies who send their staff for pick up. But then you've really helped me a great deal as now I know that the Visa office doesn't mind a transcript that is not in a sealed envelope so I'll apply and let them send to a company where a friend works then I'll pick up from the friend and add it to my application package. Chikena!

So it also means that even the sponsor's bank statement has to be open ie no document should be in a sealed envelope.

Thanks again.

Post secondary school yranscripts is part off the supporting documents required for Canadian study permit application. I graduated from Unilag and from experience during my school application, they do not allow students to handle transcripts but instead post directly to the institution that needs it. My question is in this situation, how do I include my original transcript and one photocopy as is stated as one of the requirements for the visa application. Please this is urgent as I need to put my visa application soon. School starts in 1st week of september. Thank U all.
