Who is the dower of this great thing? - JESUS.

The hands who have done this will do for all the hopefuls that are patiently and faithfully waiting in Him.

What He has done for one, He has done for all. This great deed will be witnessed in our own applications. We will overcome by the testimonies of our mouths.

Congratulations @goingforward. God be praised!

Amen

This is the last week for fall applicants to hear from CIC. It's really a make or break for many and we are needing prayers. Any May/June/July applicants/fall attendees waiting for CIC to release them? State your application month and current online status.

Applied June 14th + upfront medicals ( Jan 2019resumption)
Eligibility review started for me & my kids 7th September ( background check still ongoing also)
Hubby's still on background check.

Awaiting my miracle. It will end in praises and thanksgiving in Jesus name. Amen.

goingforward.

galala123:


@goingfoward . It's a new week. Kindly do your work by assisting us with opening prayers for a good week devoid of any still born.

Good morning Nairalanders,

I pray for each one of us waiting, praying, and fasting.
That God in heaven will show us mercy and grace on the outcome of our application.

As you oh Lord honour your word more than your name, i put you in remembrance dear Lord concerning your word, according to Mathew 19 vs 23- 30.“With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Dear Lord this morning we reach out to on behalf of myself, specifically for @jnyuwa02, earlier applicants before May, May, June, July and August applicants.

In our capacity we can do nothing at the moment, but we hold unto your word and seek solace in it.

We put our trust in you Lord Jesus, that you will grant us our approvals.
We command a book of remembrance upon each and everyone of us waiting this week.
We command that the Visa officers will find favour in each of our applications in the mighty name of Jesus.

Dear Lord, show up for each and everyone of us, that your name alone will be glorified In Jesus name, Amen.


Have a week filled with joy and laughter.

Goingforward.

galala123:

In fact, we'll be submiting our passports to you for one week anointing by fire so that as VO just see the passport... next thing will be passport request without medicals or visa straight if na paper application.
...But please don't put that kind of powder that someone put in passport for US visa application oh! I heard that as VO opened passport, powder puffed out and embassy was closed till powder was evaluated in lab and VO's thoroughly screened for health issues. With your confidence, I am beginning to suspecting that you put small otumokpor powder in your passport then come dey preach for us here! E tay wey I see person with your level of confidence. That level of belief fit make you win Presidential election sef.

Maybe they told that US visa applicant to rub small powder but instead of sharing the powder with his fellow country people, the person just poured it all in his/her passport for maximum effect! Trust naija with now now solution.. no time!

this got me laughing my colleagues are asking me what happened! .

My one and only otumokpor is in Christ Jesus oh.
At this point, come to think of it we can't possibly do anything else than to pray and believe. I simply just have faith that all is well with my application.
Remember faith like a mustard seed will move mountains


The part about someone putting powder in passport are you for real or its a joke

goingforward.

litterbug:
Good morning everybody, pls I need your candid advice. My school has cancelled my admission since I couldn't meet up with their resumption and the 2weeks grace given has elapsed. I was told to reapply for fall 2019 as they don't have any winter session. I have started looking for schools for winter session but what happens if cic request for a new admission letter? I'm really confused pls brothers and sisters I need your advice. One thing is I can't want for fall next year. But how do I go with it and also what do I do as pa cic since my app is still on background check.

@litterbug,

In the interim, why not try express entry, instead of just waiting for next fall. You could before that time achieve two things, PR status and Admission to school.

goingforward.

galala123:

Wit the drama going on here I think I need to contact zeeworld to start filming an episode... from disappearing acts after being delayed, to prayer and fasting warriors, to VO's in the house, to theory and hypothesis formulation, to server down/ up monitors, to check again at noon proponents (yours truly), to peeps closely marking IRCC on twitter, facebook, instagram, website,etc, to folks doing unpaid work to keep their minds away from IRCC thought and retain their sanity, to those that fell sick after receiving medical call because of tension between medical request date and medical exam date of availability, to how hearts skip a beat whenever the phone beeps (that may be the mail I've been waiting for oh!), to CSE warriors, SOP combatants (As everybody's SOP is becoming perfect, LOE has entered and by the time ALL LOE's meet minimum requirement, another document will become essential), to Peeps blowing up when "some kind of " questions are asked repeatedly like "I can't log in, do I call fire service? to folks asking about GCMS if delayed and reminding people that they are leaving them behind in a hole when finally approved. I remember one fellow who was drinking lacasera when his "letter of delay" was received on phone... He said the taste of the drink changed immediately in his mouth. This is one hell of a nollywood story in various episodes (part 14 now).... It will be great if people come back like 5 years after travelling to give their Canada experience and tell the house if they will still desperately seek this path seeing what they know now, with hindsight.

"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages". William Shakespeare

The story goes on...

Nice humor to cooooooluuuu Temper!
I guess i fall among the prayer and fasting warriors!

canadabyfire:

@Going forward how far your app since the September 3rd usual [b]"active review" [/b]response from Lagos ?still on background check?

Still on it. Waiting for a favorable feedback.
Eligibility review started last week Friday for myself and kids. ( i checked on Saturday so not sure when it started).

Hubby's is still on background check ( i guess because his is a visit visa).

Still waiting. It will end in praise and thanksgiving in Jesus name. Amen.

goingforward.

galala123:

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.

Everyone hopes and prays for an approval.
Truth is even a refusal can still be the hand of God preventing one from something or saying it's not yet time or I want you to go somewhere else.

Well, my prayer personally is let God take control and let his will be done in my application.

goingforward.

makano:
Sorry for ur delay bro, but let me chip this in. Ur profile is obviously good for TRV approval as against the reasons for ur refusal. One thing about this CIC people that I have personally observed is the VOs that attend to applications. Lets assume 10 VOs attend to ur Application differently, am sure 6 will approve you cos there is progression in Career in ur App, u have strong Employment prospect and also u have other visas stamped on ur passport. Personally I have seen peeps here getting approval without SOP or LOE, and also without statement of Account. Like one of my friends who is in Canada told me a year ago, he said this Visa Officers also work on application based on their mood, A VO that is angry from home and gets to the office, its obvious the first application(that is so tight) she will work on will be affected(Likely Refusal) based on her current mood. While a VO that got an increase in pay or got promotion and works on an Application that isnt really tight can because of her happy mood just approve the application bebe. So my point is that these applications are in the hands of the VO that attends to them. I have noticed that one prayer we fail to pray here is that God should make our application get to the hands of the right VO(the happy Vo). please order for ur GCMS note and patiently tackle the reasons, take ur time and do not rush. And ur next application will def be approved. I await ur approval in the next application.

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.

@mightyola,

The VO stated ''I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay'' 4 times.
I think it points to home ties.- Something Compelling that the VO thinks its sufficient reason enough that will make you return upon the completion of your study.

Did you write an SOP and what did you state as your home ties?

goingforward.

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

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the limited employment prospects in your country of residence.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your current employment situation.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.

OMG why deny someone after waiting for so long...
Chai! it is well. Don't give up. Try again.

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.

yungreezy:
Hi. Is there any chance for approval without medical? Does getting a request to pick up passport mean a refusal if no medical was done? Application had been on since 1st week of June

hi @yungreezy,

its a long time from 1st week in June, i am guessing it was a paper application right?

goingforward.

We are all in the same boat oh my brother, looking unto God the author and finisher of our faith to come through for each. It’s my first and hopefully only. USASK, Masters in Public Policy, Public Health Emphasis. The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but the Lord who has mercy. This saying is apt when it comes to Canadian study permit.

@jnyuwa02,

Waow!...May God in heaven reward your works with your heart desire In Jesus name. He who waters shall be watered. Your case shall not be different.

It will end in praises for you In Jesus name. Amen.

Goingforward.

jnyuwa02:


Active review means a decision is in the offings-imminent—about to happen!

Thanks @jnyuwa02
I have never really been a patient person. I guess God has taught me patience through this.
The icing on the cake would be my approval in Jesus name.

Amen.

goingforward.

jnyuwa02:


Nope getting a response from Lagos doesn’t mean that your application is processed there. Any office you send mail to has the discretion to look into your file and respond.

Okay thanks for your response @jnyuwa02 what does under active review mean?

goingforward.

Hello Nairalanders,

If you send an email to LAGOSIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca and get a response does it mean that one's application is processed in Lagos?
I also sent to other locations, London and Accra but only Lagos office has responded.


Also what does '' your application is under active review'' mean?

goingforward.

Hello Nairalnders,

I pray that this month shall be a September to remember.

As many of us that are praying and waiting on God for our TRV's, I pray that host of heaven would not rest until our prayers are answered in the mighty name of Jesus. It will end in praise for us all in Jesus name. Amen.

Have a week filled with testimonies and favour!

goingforward.

Amen. Thanks a lot. I see you are enjoying Canada already. You should be preparing for winter soon. .

It will end in praise in Jesus name. Amen. God is in charge.

@Jnyuwa02, @Mcobex, @BBclue and @Goingforward, I hope you are all making progress with your applications...May it end in praise for you all.

Hello @GlitteringStar,

Thanks for checking up on me.
I still dey here oh. Still on background check.

My consolation is the fact that my resumption is Jan 2019. I trust God for an approval in this month of September 2018.
Keep praying for us . It will end in praise in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Happy New month Nairalanders!

Goingforward.

Cherryola:
@mcobex this are what I use as my hometie in my sop and loe

Hello @Cherryola,

Did you state how the course is going to be used her in Nigeria upon your return?

For example, you can say a line that says, ''studying business Administration will help me improve my business acumen, knowledge etc. I have looked at the course curriculum of my program at blah blah school and i am excited because i will be learning XYZ, ABC which would equip me with the required skill to grow my real estate business upon my return( or any other business that you may want to go into). They all have to be related.

My 2cents.
