Same here. I have travel history to Canada, Dubai, SA, Gambia. Guess what, I was refused on travel history. weird....

So its safe to add this as a prayer point, father don't let my application be accessed by a Nairobi Visa Officer.

Amen.

Nairalnaders,

For the online submission, does my spouse need to fill out and sign the Family representative form?

I am applying for my husband and children together.

Please help clarify.

Thanks.

goingforward.

cecechi:

Why not apply alone first, know that a diff GO may look at their own

Did you mean to say a different Visa officer may look at their own application? even when it is a family application and i submitted together?

Is that possible? I thought its supposed to be treated as a family application. The feedback that people on this forum based on their GCSM notes always indicate so, I stand to be corrected though.

goingforward

Okay, can I upload SOA, in each of my children's client information section instead and tell them to refer to that place for more docs?

my three months SOA is 20pages same with my husband. plus am uploading company sOA, hence my asking.

Hello Nairalanders,

Isn't it possible to upload other docs in like '' medical or marriage certificate section''

There is plenty of space there. smiley

i am thinking of uploading one SOA to the medical form area and stating it in Proof of fund doc that its due to space constraint I did that. so that they can look it up from there.[quote][/quote] smiley tongue


Over shrinking the docs makes it unreadable. so isn't this a better option.
Has anyone done this and scaled through?

JJJV:
There's a new form, try using that.

Thanks done that.

DrND:


Fill it and merge it with ur other documents in the client information section

@DrND, true that.

Thanks, hmm,.. even the client information section sef is almost 4mb

I will squeeze it in.

thanks

cecechi:

LOL, yep..... even the family information on CIC page is different during the online application, you must include siblings

Nairalancders,

I have downloaded a recent study form now, filled and validated and tried to upload.
I just noticed something, when I merge the two Study application PDF forms together and try to upload I still get the error message, but when i try to upload only the first form (without the additional PDF with extra work history) the upload goes through successfully.

Are you sure that online applicants are required to fill 10years work experience? ?

I may have to submit without the extra work history. (besides it even captioned in my CV).

Thoughts?

goingforward.

cecechi:

Download the form that was on the page, use it instead of the one you have

Chai, and fill all over again?

Nairalander,

Please, when i try to upload my form i am getting this error.

Has anyone encountered such?

what do I do?

goingforward.

aduku1:


After you validation and printing d original one....... you may likely wish to download the form again then continue ur employment details on d employment page and print dat page only(this one will not need validation)

Hello,

I hope I am doing it right, I just validated, printed my form. Then printed the second one to add work history.
I am pasting validated forms on Microsoft word first before saving as PDF, I hope I am getting it right? ( online route)

Please, someone should help clarify.

Thanks

Hi Nairalanders,

Please, can I reschedule the date my biometrics appointment when I am invited? ( Like maybe for a few days). I want to submit but hubby would be out of town, he also would need to do Biometrics. Does the email invitation to come for biometric after online submission state that you must come on a particular day?

Please help answer.

Congratulations! I tap into this speed and grace.

chrisraph:


hohohohooooooo you wan sell Text book giVe the VO Hahahaha

@reichwolf:

If you are applying online, There is actually a segment for upload of Int'l passport upload, so take this off your SOP and add it to that segment.

All the other scanned docs including your certificate can come in underneath under supporting docs segment, underneath your SOP, which should be the first doc to start this segment.

You can list the docs as a bulleted list and say attached below to this as supporting docs are ...xyz.

Then close your SOP with your signature.

Paste the other scanned docs underneath that after your signature.

My thoughts.

Love your spirit.. It will end in praise.

babzy90:
Is a 5 page SOP considered too long or I should stick to 2 pages?

Hi @babzy90,
If you need 5pages to capture all relevant information then go ahead. It's your SOP and you know what you put into it.
Asking how many pages when no one has viewed it, the answers you will be getting would not be objective. ( So that you do not take out just the right relevant information that would make your application scale through).

Follow your heart, play the devils advocate on your SOP, if you were reading someone's SOP of 5 pages what would bore you and what wouldn't?

My own SOP is 7pages. (I have worked since 2005), plus I am going with my family, in addition, I listed all docs ( most esp. supporting docs) attached according to each family members profile to make life easy for the VO.

I have read mine time and time again just to be sure it would make sense.

Just to add:

Three out of my 7 pages are a list of all docs. Plus i utilized paragraphing very well for easy reading.

post=68116149:
Meanwhile I haven't applied yet,still gutless. Teach me guys, what should I do. I just returned from England 3momths ago, is it a medical report from there I should apply or Nigeria's?
Secondly, for a married person,do I need to submit my siblings and parents docx as tie or just my spouse's?
Can't wait for July when my bank statement can show 4months and I then apply- give em hot hot!
Oh Lord, not joking. Need to get my study permit approved!

LOL @Yuyukoko,

Your post is very funny. I have put my application together and at the verge of submitting but , I am very nervous most especially seeing the rate of refusals here and there so i can feel your pain.

Been also praying about my application even before submission .

I have learned that the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong, only to who God show's mercy.

Put together your docs but most importantly back it up with plenty prayers.

I am gathering momentum to submit this week.

It will end in praise.

Omoarukheo:
Hi guys,

i just got refused, i am so sad because i thought i put in an airtight application

i applied with admission for masters in management( international accounting and finance) university of windsor, banking and finance 2'1

i paid 6k tuition deposit and attached the receipt i have travel history (UK and USA) with valid visa

i am 21 and i recently finshed nysc, i put in a recomendation from my former employer as i worked at an accounting firm,
i submitted bank statements and treasury bills of about 15million
i put in land documents
i was refused for travel history, ties in canada and family ties, purpose of visit, personal assets and financial status

please where did i go wrong?

Hi Omoarukheo,

In your SOP, did you explain why Canada instead of the US or Uk where you have valid visas and have visited before?

Goingforward.

chkb:
Abeg make nobody just pay in money and immediately print SOA o, cos CIC get access to our acct o

Hi @chkb,

I don't agree with you.

what if it's a business account and a business from a client comes in and you provide details of the transaction i.e receipts and invoices?
what if it's a personal or salary account and you just received a bonus or salary from your company before printing your statement.

My thoughts are that if it's a transactional account, and you can show the source of funds then it would not be a problem.
I stand to be corrected, but these are my thoughts.

Asapant:
I'm sure you wouldn't want to give away your 10k to Dalhousie uni as it's well stated "10k non-refundable"

However, Sir, my best advice for you is to apply for TRV first. Get ur TRV and make your deposit of $10k. You don't need to deposit $10k to Dal uni before you apply for TRV.

N:B Deposit of Tuition before applying for TRV dosen't guaranty TRV

Best

Hi @Asapant,

Thanks for your speedy response.
It's not actually Dalhousie university.
It's York University.

Why I am concerned is because I have read on this forum where several people stated that not making any payment of Tuition is not good for ones application.

My question is, if I leave the funds in my account to show the tuition money is available wouldn't it suffice.?

Plus is there anyone who has gotten study permit approved without paying Tuition.?


goingfoward.

Hello Nairalanders,

My school's tuition confirmation deposit is 10kCAD.
My school is advising to get my study permit first then make payment afterward as the 10kcad payment is nonrefundable.
I am stuck in between the step to take.

To pay or not to pay before study permit application submission.

Is there anyone who did not pay any tuition and got study permit approved?
