please I am to resume by 15 January but my appointment date is bringing February 7 or 13 even at Abuja when I check it brings January 19 ...I don’t know if it possible to accept the feb7

Frankrobbn1:


That's where the major problem lies, the visa officers don't even believe our bank statements because they know that some applicants go as far as borrowing funds from friends/relatives for the purpose of securing visa talk less of paystubs from a company in Nigeria which is mere designed paper from the company's account officer.

Thanks to Almighty God that helped me throughout this pursuit. My Story is a long one but I will like to share my transcript with you here.

First interview
Delayed
VO: good morning
Me: good morning
VO: can you pass me your documents
Me: sure
VO: can you tell me about your application process
Me: Immediately after my undergraduate studies due to my passion for graduate school I proceed to research gate where I got to know about Prof Honglan of MS&T and Prof Sarah Green of MTU and Nadine Kabengi of GSU whose work coincides my interest and I write to them and they encourage me to apply in which I did by submitting my academic transcript and my GRE Score in which I had a score of 310.

Long silence.....

VO: so why did you choose MS&T
Me: coupled with the fact that I was given a full funding that covers my entire cost of attendance
VO (cuts in): How will you be covering the deficit
Me ( my mind skipped): there's no deficit ma, check well the funding covers the expenses
VO (shout back): what was stated here is 50% assistantship, can you show me a proof of your assistantship letter
Me: I passed it
VO: keeps typing and eventually disapprove the application

VO: What will you be doing with this degree
Me: This degree will equip me with the resqusite skills to pick up a job of lead research scientist at FEPA
VO: how are you sure you'll be getting the Job
Me: which kind question is this again but I opened my mouth and tell her that my current boss works with the ministry of environment and she's a consultant so definitely I'll be getting the Job
VO: okay I saw that you have funding which covers your expenses but 50% assistantship was stated here did you have a spreadsheet that shows the breakdown
Me: haaa. Okay, I don't have spread sheet but I have a graduate offer letter

Friedpotato:

Ekunsgreat:

Ekunsgreat:
yes it’s ..I should keep checking the site and also what you mean by I should reschedule it but I hope I will get a good date better than that?

Approval!!
Hi I’m a newbie been a silent reader since I submitted in August . I decided to post to encourage everyone from the wave of refusals

Timeline: online route
Submission/upfront medicals- August 15th
Medicals passed- August 22nd
Eligibility review started- August 22nd
Bvl/approval/ppr- October 1st
Passport submitted-October 2nd
Passport returned- December 2nd

This was my first application although I got visit visa last year but it expired in June cos my passport expired

The last 2 month were the longest months of my life I kept thinking of what could have been wrong for my passport to be held but thank God

I didn’t write SOP/LOE

Docs submitted were:
* Letter of Acceptance and fee statement
* Receipt of 1st semester fees as well as telex copy (paid with zenith bank)
* Proof of funds: letter of sponsorship stating that the amount estimated by the school as living costs has been transferred to my account , my bank statement 3.2m (11CAD), parents bank statement not up to 1m, parents payslips and my employment letter .
* Then all the required forms

Course applied for is Post graduate Certificate at Seneca College.

All in all it was Gods favor cos when I read about all the SOPs that people submitted and saw closing balances I had anxiety. My application itself took 6 weeks and 4 days

Ekunsgreat:
please I’m to resume by January 15 so I register for my visa today but the appointment date they gave me is February 7 please what can I do about it .sir your opinion

Frankrobbn1:

Funmi27:
Thanks for d kind words.... please has anyone been lucky enough to get a date in December? I have been consistent with checking but d date keeps fluctuating btwn d days in January.

solihp:
To everyone who has been denied and has some sort of funding with not so much deficit, if you have been denied once, you can try to reapply.

And to everyone who has been trying to reapply but haven't seen a good date, just keep checking, there would be a day the embassy would open dates, some might even be days away, and the fastest people who picks it would be the lucky ones, they do that everytime, so keep checking, day and night. Don't visit too frequent though, so the system doesn't ban you for 3days. You can visit the date page 5 times a day, you might want to space out the 5 times all through the day.

Spring 2020, yes you can

All the best.

Hello Nairaland.

The denial rate is too enormous in this month of November, I want to believe there is something fishing.

Tamison:
Yeah, I put "parent" not "parents".
I'm just hoping there'd be no issue with it.

Tamison:
Hello guys! Good morning. On my i20,my sponsor is my mother while I filled in my dad's name as the person that'd be sponsoring my trip on my ds-160...is there any issue with it? I did that because I didn't see anything like "Parents"

vickyehi:

What do you want to know about Brandon university?

JustMellow:


Almost all Canadian university don't give funding for undergraduate programs except maybe sponsored scholarship. However contact your prospective school for first-hand information about this.

Good luck!
