No it didn't.

Doyenrey:
Did your biometrics ever change from completed to we do not need your fingerprints ?

If yes, when did the change occur?

LOL! Whoever told you having regard for people only has to do with certain countries. Courtesy is universal, but if you think otherwise. Please feel free to do whatever pleases you. So because a statement started with "please" it has reduced the potency? Like, "please you are........."LOL!

I guess please makes one feel better. It's okay, feel alright Sir/Ma.

Cheers

ayoadefantastic:
OMG! Ridiculous!
This reads exactly how we Nigerians act in offices.
Again expressing your feelings is not rude not even when the statement starts with "please"!

Okay.

123abcclown:
Please calm down.

No one here have tried to justify being rude. I believe I’m a Mr nice guy myself, so NO. I’m not encouraging people to be rude.

All I’m trying to say is that it’s okay for applicants to get angry and express their emotions in their email. Telling a VO you are loosing your patience after you application has passed 5 months is just fair enough.

Everyone should feel free to do his or herself, but this fine young man here will send an inquiry email the day after my application pass the average processing time.

Yes i got this too. Changed from submitted to updated, and back to submitted. They finally sent me the updated later that day. There's been some progress i believe, you should here from them soon. I hope for the best for you brother.

Cheers

dubaiboy1:
So this morning ,, for a very brief time my application status changed from submitted to updated. But the details show no change. Then after that the status was again set to submitted.. Did anyone experienced this too ?

How did you know 70% have gotten responses if you are only sure of two people? What a way to draw conclusion.

makano:
I didnt say 100% of applicants, I said 70% which means some havnt gotten response. Please take note. Goodluck to ur application.

This is quite shocking. You say it with so much confidence, even though you know the tone is wrong. Why use a harsh tone, when you can ask politely? And hey don't forget, they are humans, imagine an application that is already on shaking table, what would you expect after such enquiry? They can as well return the patience to you in full and tell you to stay back in your country. They reserve the right to deny you visa for whatever reason, anyone that is not happy should go to court. You will now tell them if it's by force to go Canada to school.

123abcclown:
Emails are sent to the office of the VO and not the VO directly. That is the difference.

It is in Nigeria that people let their emotions get in the way of them doing their job. A VO have absolute no right to get agitated because an applicant is MAD that his application is taking too long. I repeat NO right!

Plus I am yet to see a gcms note that came back with VO saying that the application was denied because the applicant was rude in his inquiry email.

You are losing your patience ke? That means you can take them to court or beat the VO. lmao! Choice of words please...

Cheers

ayoadefantastic:
Sure!

Dear Sir,

I would like to draw your attention to my study permit application with application number number:

Please this application has now passed the ideal processing time as indicated on the IRCC website as at when I applied. Please I am now loosing my patience as resumption is fast approaching and no travel preparation is realistic without a visa decision. Kindly help have a look into this application.

Kind regards,

Apply for yourself first, get yours and then you can apply for your family. They can even serve as ties for you.
Applying with them feels like indirect express entry.LOL

It only reduces your chances.

Cheers

Hi Guys,

How practical is this?

I will like to study a an Accounting or Finance Masters Degree in Canada but EWC Consultants advised since my results is a 2:2 my best bet is to put in for a PGD.

Okay fine! But i will like to travel with my wife and 20 months old son..........Guys, please advise if there is possibility of being granted a study visa and what can i do to strengthen my chances.

Looking forward to your assistance Guys.

Please send them a mail. Send to the different processing offices as you don't know which is processing your documents. Then use the webform also and do the same thing.

Make sure you indicate it's over 9weeks.

All the best.

Banks039:
Hello house .... i did my biometrics on 1st of june and since then ive not heard from cic ... I'm suppose to resume sept 7 , its over 9weeks now ... do u think i shld send them a mail , also is there any particular format of writing such mail ?

Won't i b considered desperate?

Pls i need u guru's ( @austinpee4, @jnyuwa02, @frankrobbn1) in the house to hlp me out

Thanks

Errrm sir, but he didn't say 7 emails to the same email address. We all know there are different ones. You may be encouraging the wrong thing sir.

jnyuwa02:
7 times you sent email and you were not tagged a desperado?? Some on these forum said you would. Lol. Congratulations!!

Errrm, who is coming to Toronto o? GTA precisely. Got an idea of any available accommodation or you have links? Or wanna share apartments so we share together? Please holla. I'm in and i'm looking for accommodation. It looks harder than i thought.

Cheers

If there was an issue with logging in to check for updates was a problem, alot of us would have gotten several messages from CIC, or even life ban! That agent na olodo!

Biakwa:
Good day all,

Please I want to get clearification, a friend of mine that also applied via online called me that his agent is complaining that he is logging into the application which makes the CIC to be sending him warning massage. He said the agent said maybe at the point of updating the profile they are always being instructions which causes delay. Please ooooo I have been checking my own I no see anything. Is there anyone that is getting mail of obstruction from CIC eeeee....

Bro, that application was approved in 2weeks!!! This one no be matter of PHD na, i know someone here that got an approval after the 11th week, and it was PHD.
We can't take away the fact that some applicants are blessed and lucky and some have their applications well done. Even masters here got in 3weeks.

I think this is just hope for the ones that may think it's too late. There's still time and i wish everyone the best.

Cheers

Frankrobbn1:
Getting an admission in Canada for PhD is usually very difficult and the number of spaces available are quite limited and at same time very competitive. An applicant must pass through rigorous processes prior securing an admission for PhD, which at the end of the day comes with full funding from the University. All these processes the visa officers have in mind, so granting them visa doesn't take much time. But, that does not mean they don't undergo due database check. The difference here is the visa officers doesn't scrutinize PhD applications like the way it is done in other applications.

Oh i see. I think sometimes, it kinda doesn't work that way. My eligibility didn't even start even after i got an approval. I think they don't follow these rules sometimes. If your application stays for weeks, there's a very high chance that your eligibility review already started, even if they don't update it, otherwise, i don't know under what basis they would deny an application if they don't check for eligibility.

jnyuwa02:
Thanks man I appreciate. Eligibility review starts usually before any medical call. And it continues even after medical call. When an individual is called for medical for example, it means that the visa officer has reviewed the file and thinks that person is likely to qualify for the visa sought. Eligibility review is done one more time after the receipt of medical result just to make sure the person continues to qualify as earlier deemed. Sometimes the system forgets to kickstart the eligibility review throttle on the profile until after medical is received. That is why it appears sometimes that some receive medical call before review of eligibility is started. In actuality it is not so. Every person who receives a medical call, review of eligibility was done in one form or the other before the invitation was sent out. It is clearly not a random call.

This might be a good advice, but he said he already tried to inform them about it. Don't you think that counts? I really don't know.

My fear is the US study permit refusal he didn't put. That's really major.

Ratawu:
I will advise you withdraw your application before eligibility review citing error in filling your form that you need an amendment. This will save you being served with misrepresentation letter.

Oh now that is major. But like we already know, application has been made and you already tried to explain it, nothing can be done anymore. I hope and pray you find favour.

Please share updates as soon as you have one.

All the best.

Doyenrey:
Yes big man I did fill in other details. Thank you for the response. The mistake I made in filling the IMM 1294 was that I unintentionally did not declare my US study permit refusal, which is my main worry. I hope the Email and Webform I sent help Sha.
Thank you for the response

Hello, i guess you already did the right thing. They probably noted it already. Now the next thing is to pray and hope for the best. But apart from nationality, did you at least fill their details? I mean name and occupation etc.

I bet you have moved past biometrics stage, so it might be anything to bother about.

All the best to you.

Doyenrey:
Hello everyone.

Please I applied June 29th online. I discovered I made a mistake answering question 2b of the background section of IMM 1294e, I also did not complete filling my the family information form, I did not put the address and Nationality. Sent the corrected forms to the embassy via Email and also using the IRCC webform. I have not received any confirmation of receipt of those documents I sent. Do I still stand a chance? Sept. 4th resumption.

I noticed my biometrics changed from completed to " we do not need your fingerprints" two days ago? That's the only change that has occurred on my profile. What does this mean? I will really appreciate a response.

Cheers.

Oh wow! Quite sad.

Nice one bro.

joe10:
Yes i know we are saying the same thing. I decided to share more lights because i read the post of someone with a regretful tone saying that the advice of some people here induced him/her to apply now as against his/her will.

Well done sir! You have really been helpful on this platform.

However, people that get medical requests before eligibility, does that mean they didn't have check for the requirements before moving to that stage or there are exemptions sometimes.

jnyuwa02:
It means all paperwork have been vetted and now the Commission must determine whether you meet the law’s requirement for qualification for study in Canada. They have to now determine whether you have enough money, your purpose of visit and whether you will leave Canada. Time to ratchet up your prayer life because a decision in your case is about to be made any day now. It can take as less as 24 hours and on the average 3 weeks. Me think within one week giving this is fall peak season. When did you apply? Paper or online? What are the other changes you have noticed in your application profile before this time?

You have only said the same thing i said, but you chose to use more words. No one can deny the experience people on here have. This is just me trying to advise people further, pick what is right and still VERIFY. Not everything that comes on here is true, and sometimes, they are just opinions.

Cheers

joe10:
Yes... No one here is VO, infallible nor knows it all when it comes to Canadian visa application but we can not deny the fact, there are people here with deep experience and knowledge about the subject matter and are of immense help to many especially the newbies. I have benefited a lot from this platform and still learning from the experience shared by others. If you check the profile of some people here, they did not join this platform few months ago like me but have been here for years and have contributed to the success of many and are still doing same. I think some people should grow up and learn to take responsibilities for their actions. Mature minds do not cast aspersions when they fail or make mistakes in life. I believe every advise dished out here is to guide those who ask questions and it is expected that you do your home work by carrying out personal research in comparison to advice received rather than swallowing it all hook line and sinker. Discourse like this is baseless and could only discourage people from being helpful to others. I rest my case.

A lot of information flying around. Please do well to confirm certain things before you act on them. Please nobody here is a VO, i repeat, nobody na VO, so no one has the full knowledge. As knowledgeable as people on here are, mistakes fit dey.

All the best to everyone.

Cheers

Congrats! Oya come let's talk o. You are hosting me when i come to Niagara falls.

Thank God!!

Bukella:
Thanks to everyone who contributed to my success. @harde116 thanks for your positivity.
@njunwa thanks for the time spared in responding to my so many questions
Thanks you all.

It will end in praise.
Be hopeful and positive.
Don't force it!

But his questions would be? I think there is something psychological about this. It's more about calling some sort of "special" attention to your application, especially when it is not due. You must have a reason that, it's either your school is about to resume or there is something urgent about the application. But if nothing, what exactly would be your point? That you are impatient or because hypertension wants to kill you? because you want to hear their decision so you can move on? Or because you want to quickly book cheap flight? So they say you want to pay millions for school fees and it's small flight difference you can't afford. It's absolutely not needed in my opinion.

We can only hope for quick responses, but we can't push for it. I've been here so i understand how it feels and i can advise someone to be patient because i was, it was not easy, but i did.

Olayemudia:
The points are:
1. He did his medical test after applying
2. He is not sending an e-mail with an urgent subject.
3. He's not stating in the e-mail that his application is overdue
4. I've seen posts where people wrote to IRCC and they updated their application (remember we discussed that on phone).

I agree with you, but the question is, did they specify a particular time for each of the updates? Did they say after 2weeks, you should get a medical request or any kind of request at all? I guess your answer is NO. I really don't think it's necessary is all i'm saying,except you have taken a significant step that should be updated. If not, na waiting sure pass. From August, i believe responses would be faster because people have to resume in September and their Queries would really disturb CIC.

jnyuwa02:
Wonderful!! Many people would have been tallied desperados then and refused visa because of numerous emails sent or a necessary email sent before processing time elapsed highliting something. Not so. I have never seen any one refused visa because of email they sent or tagged desperate because of it. To the contrary, I have seen many people who sent a lot of emails to CIC and CIC never responded and the only time they heard from CIC was their approval notice. To each his own.

Ultimately, no one should even try to send any mail before the 9weeks is complete. If you ask me, i would even say you give it one more week, say 10weeks, that's if you are patient enough. It kind of shows you are not desperate and your life is not on "pause mode" even though we know it might be. But asking that something is updated even when it's not 9weeks is pretty ridiculous. They may not even need it, I think Frank or someone got approved without a medical request on this platform. So you never know...

I understand it's quite tiring, but we really do not have a choice.

All the best guys!

Austinpee4:
Very valid points bro. One important thing to note also about sending unnecessary emails to CIC when an application has not exceeded the stipulated processing time is that it is noted in the applicant's GCMS file which is detriment during a case review. I believe nobody would want a file note with any instance of desperation recorded especially when they have provided all that is to be expected and processing time has not been exceeded. Folks with applications within the stipulated processing time need to be patient and be positive about the outcome.

The routine and processing of an application is more to what we all assume and predict. The could be delay for various reasons but one thing is always certain, as long as you applied, they will revert back to you.

I hope you have found a solution, but if you have not. I made a mistake in my visiting visa application, i put in my old/expired passport number. I sent a mail to them explaining the situation and the correct one. They acknowledged and after a few days, they sent me an update in my application with a new application number.

But if VFS told you it's okay, then i think it's okay because they could have corrected it before the biometrics.

Hadastextiles:
Good evening friends
Pls I made a typographical error on the applicant name while filling the online form last week. I was called for my biometrics the next day and I was a bit delayed cos d name on the biometric letter didn't tally with d one on the passport. After awhile I was attended to and after I finished the biometrics I asked if der won't be any Problem and dey sed nop.
Please house, is der a form to fill or nytin I can do to rectify the issue?
Thanks

Hi guys, final checks please.

Please kindly assist on the documents that "may" be required at the point of entry. Just to be sure nothing is left behind, just like i didn't know there was anything like correspondence letter. Thank you

Nawa o, what exactly did i say that brought this? Everybody is just angry, my statement was clear and you are reading sarcasm. Anyway, all the best.

Naijaforeigner:
You need to calm down with your sarcastic reply. The joke is on you. Read my response to the gurus above.

Just so you know, you need to submit a photocopy of your BRP (to show you have a legal resident status in UK) as one of the documents.

One of the reasons why I decide to stay in ghost mode is cos of people like you. God bless you mate.

Oh i see. We should have known this o, some of us would have gone out to apply. LOL

All the best mate!

Naijaforeigner:
Where are you applying from ....United Kingdom. I am not a citizen but I think location matters. Do you know medicals is not needed cos I am applying in UK? Why is that if location is not important?

I could be wrong but I think location matters.

Ermm, Did you apply as a Nigerian currently in the UK? or as a citizen of the UK. I don't think location of application/applicant determines the duration. Just to be sure things are not mixed.

All the best mate!

Naijaforeigner:
Thanks bro, we should link up. I would collect my visa this week by God’s grace (I speak by faith).

I am currently in Newcastle so I applied in London.

Wassup with Canada office though? It says 1 week processing time from the Uk for study permit but tomorrow makes it 2 weeks since I submitted (paper application) and still no response from them and my application status has not changed.

You are correct. I didn't use my company's account to apply. However, there's alot of things attached to the company she mentioned. Like i said, provided she has what would cover and the money in the account can serve, she's good to go.

Well done Sir!

jnyuwa02:
It may be necessary to show a bank account only if the company is sponsoring him or he is sponsoring himself as the founder of the company. If an uncle or any other relative is sponsoring him, no bank account from the company is needed. Only CAC certificate and perhaps a tax clearance of the company if he is using it as a tie.

A woman that got her visa recently, generated payslips from her company. I guess she was using that as a tie for a job she is returning to Nigeria for. But her dad is the main sponsor and she presented CAC and bank account of her sponsor, not her company, not even a bank account of herself. You never know what works.

First, i guess you may want to answer the question, "why not MBA?" as i know you can come from any field to do that, however, that poses more questions as to why Canada for MBA, and would you be willing to spend as much for a program if you find one.

To answer your questions, all the possible ways to answer that you actually run a business appear to have one issue or the other. I'm thinking the only document you have now is the CAC certificate.
You run a business for at least 4years, and you don't have a corporate account, they can conclude it's not existent or it's not a moving business. What is the proof that you have been working in partnership with other companies? Also sounds like tax evasion, you may be able to fix this though, but without an account, not sure.
When you say full time work or company details, is there proof somewhere that shows where money enters? Nothing says he can't present two accounts anyway, provided the money in them would count.

If you generate a payslip, where will you say the money comes from? His personal account again? The chain is quite long and may require so much explanation from you.

Ultimately, no one knows for sure what works, we all hope for the best at the end of the day. If you must go ahead with this application, be ready to explain every of these problems one after the other, because a little gap like this na problem, and then try to add some more to your application that would prove why you would return home after the program.

I wish you all the best.

Cheers
