Be abusing some of us o.

jnyuwa02:


I for one don’t believe CIC approves based on top schools. Otherwise people attending Centennial College for example will never get a permit. And I have seen quite a few who never travelled to those UK, USA destinations who never wrote an SOP that were approved. The guy who was approved yesterday who never wrote SOP, didn’t even include transcript either, so scratch the first class thing. Only trend I have observed among those who never wrote SOP is that they are financially buoyant. Maybe as they say, “money talks.”

Either way write a SOP if you feel there is something tangible that must be known. Like I don’t expect someone reapplying to succeed without SOP.

I think you should use the webform online to make your enquiry the next time you decide to.

All the best

Congrats Paddy

Hey guys, so i picked my stamped passport today, It was processed in London, so you may also channel your webform enquires to them for those having delays, you may never know. VFS didn't contact me, i tracked it and saw that it had arrived.

And yea, got the correspondence letter too today.

God bless ya'all and i wish everyone expecting the best.

Cheers.

LOL! Nice one

wealth360:
I read all your post from the first day you join this thread

LOL! I don cast. You know this how? We ever exchanged emails?

wealth360:
Haba My professional film maker sometimes we demonstrate those little drama to make up with each other. It will all end in praise. Greetings with much love.

Hey man, sorry about all that. Apparently, it was misunderstood. Taken back.

Cheers mate.

wealth360:
@bbclue Thanks alot. Its well my sister. Lets move forward. Hope you are good?

I get the gist. Na mix up. Thanks

Lordcrixus:

The argument started from owning two valid passports simultaneously, which is normally not acceptable. Expired passport is different from renewing a passport before the due date.
When you have an expired passport with a valid visa stamp, then you can carry it alongside the new passport to reference the valid visa on it.
If the passport containing valid visa is about to expire and it was renewed, then the inscription “cancelled without prejudice” has to be on it so that it can be used alongside the new passport.(NB: the new passport will carry the passport number of the old one).

It's okay, the matter has been put to rest. Let's move on.

Cheers mate

bbclue:


Hmmmmm

How is it funny...........aleast he is one of the few guru I no that make this forum stand out......I know he was right in his post .....but I have too just walk and pass....in all the comment u made after him......

This is the simple advice i gave to someone, that another person came to tell me i'm talking to a guru, as if Nigeria Immigration or Canadian Immigration staff that determines what happens dey here.

Ggetter50:

Hey bro,
You can own two passports ( Expired and unexpred). Not two unexpired though!

The expired one will be stamped “cancelled without prejudice”.. And however, if you have valid visa on the expired passport you can still use it. So, the best way is to merge your passports together while traveling. The guy should merge both expired and new passport together while traveling. I have travelled many times with it like this without any problem.

This is the funniest comment i've read on this platform. LOL!

bbclue:



Hello
You are talking to one of the gurus in the house.....

I only asked a question and i advised you to think well. I'm not sure i have said too much...
The problem i have with your comment is you are wrong, but you no wan gree. lol

It's okay bro, the guy will sort the problem asap and he will do it himself.

Cheers mate

wealth360:
Mr Man you do not address someone you do not know to think well ok? if you follow the questions and answers of the issue to be treated here you will notice my answer is for the person that said "you can't have two valid passports at the same time" and my response is that the previous passport will be cancelled without prejudice. If you claim to be smart and knows how to think you will understand my response and you wont reply me that way.

It's sad when people are ignorant of something and they argue with all confidence. So if you have a US visa on a passport, and your passport expires and you provide a newly renewed passport. Your visa will be cancelled? And why do some people have 2 or 3 passports sometimes? Please think well first before you answer.

Thanks

wealth360:
Mr. It will be cancelled without prejudice by the Nigeria Immigration.

It has never been a problem. It's you that is in both passports, one just only expires soon, and the other takes up the job from there.

Pawlahh:


Okay so it won’t be a problem going with two passports?, okay will think of this then

I didn't say that. One carries your VISA, one shows your citizenship is still valid. People travel with three passports, especially the ones that travel alot. I travel with two and they refer to where you have your visa stamped.

Olayemudia:


You can't have two valid passports at the same time.

If it is not urgent and bulky, please send me a PM.

Cheers

Carlz1:
. Please can you review my sop?

This is the problem, too much of these things leads to unnecessary anxiety. But if it means anything, i feel those things would add to your application, especially for the fact that they are relevant, coming from two people that matter and they even addressed some major concerns of the VO, provided you have not said anything contradictory.

Relax abeg and don't overwork yourself, the application has been sent anyway so what exactly do you want to change? Leave it! Pray and hope for the best.

Cheers mate!

kingfintan:


Thanks ratawu for responding to my issues, actually, the professor in Canada, actually wrote on the relevance of the course, how it an excellent fit for my previous academic qualification, employment prospect, recommendation, telling the VO he strongly advice them to approve my visa as a genuine student.. as for my lecturer here in Nigeria, he tackled how the course is needed here in Nigeria and all.. am just afraid, I shouldn’t have added them..the letters look cool, but just scared the VOs might see it another way! I tried to tackle the reasons I was denied tho..have not seen anybody collected letter from school.. mo gbe ooooo

Please renew your passport here. Why go there to stress if you can do it here. Then, you go with the two passports.

Pawlahh:
Hey guys i need your advice, i just got my stamped passport, my passport would be expiring 3rd week of January, should i make a new passport before i travel or renew the passport when i get to Canada?

Hi, you already submitted your application, so right now, just keep your fingers crossed as no one can do anything at this point. I sort of think the rush has reduced, so you may be lucky to have your application processed early enough, even when it was really busy, some peeps got their approvals in 3weeks, so why not you too? Just keep hope alive.

All the best mate!

Kaka89:
Fellas I submitted my Study application to VFS on the 11th July and my admission stated that I have to be in school by the First week of September this year. What do you guys think about the time frame....? We were plenty that submitted that day and we are all supposed to be in different Canadian schools by that very week. Please your ideas on the time frame

Hahaha! I forgot to mention, i checked everytime someone also mentioned anything about an update on his/her account without an email notification. So i probably checked like 5times some days. Even CIC notifications scared me!

kylexy61:


Not easy at all. Besides checking everyday, every time I received an email notification on my phone, my heart rate tripled, only to check and realize some random person started following me on quora. I would be like "WHO CARES!! I need an email from CIC, not quora!"

Is sunday not a day? LOL!

I got my medicals update on saturday, Is it sunday i will not check? Even on CANADA day!

Olayemudia:


Including Sundays?

Tell me you did not check yours everyday. Or at least every 2days. That thing no easy abeg, me that i was checking morning and night, later i moved to only night to avoid checking twice a day.

bbclue:



Me and you know there is.....high pertension and high blood pressure......all you need to do is put remove all your mind from it and Do something else.....or keep praying

LOL! You know this how? Just asking o.

Lagos2canna:

They are very fast with application

I'm not exactly sure you need it notarized (just thinking). But if you must, go to Ikeja High court, you will see notary public tire and their opinions and requirements "may" be different.

dubaiboy1:
Hello guys ... I'm having issues getting my Affidavit of sponsor notarized... I'm living in Dubai and so is my sponsor but the lawyer who I asked my brother to meet for the notarization said my Sponsor must be present to make it happen... What is the way out please ? I intend to submit my application on Sunday. Any ideas ?

Hey guys, so this accommodation kini is giving me small headache. Please who knows how to go about accommodation is Toronto, I'm going to Centennial college to be precise. Any idea how to get affordable spaces or anyone willing to do a collabo? I mean shared apartment. I think this is more affordable. Or if you have the contact of someone that does, kindly share... BTW, I'm male, lol

Thanks

Oh great! So we wait. You are a good man. LOL

We should connect.

You sent your passport already yea? abi you don collect sef

nivlek000:
Hugger! Mine just dropped yesterday so give it time. Perhaps a week after approval/passport submission (based on my timeline)

Also it was labelled "Correspondence Letter"

I don't have it too. We are on this table together. Yea, i did the online route too.

Getmo:
My application has been approved. My passport submitted and collected. i have my Student visa but there was no corresponding letter/Letter of introduction in my package.
Pls how did you get yours.
P.S: My application was Online. Thanks.

Hey Frank, how long does it take for this letter to come? i have not seen it, even though all them eligibility kini still dey under review. Could that be a reason? Thanks man

Frankrobbn1:


Yes the correspondence letter after approval... The content of the letter of introduction starts with:

Your UCI Number

Your Application Number

Your application to study in Canada has been approved. A permit authorizing your studies will be issued to you on your arrival to Canada following an examination by an officer of the Canada Border Services Agency, subject to your compliance with the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and its Regulations. The officer will ask to see this letter, your passport and may request to see your supporting documents, such as the letter of acceptance from your educational institution. etc......

If the above is the start of the content letter you received, you're on the right track.

All the best!

Thanks alot bro. But i have not gotten anything like that, and i was approved 2days ago. I just submitted my passport anyway, should i chill and expect something to happen? I did not know about this.

Cheers

chibreezy:
Yes bro there is something like a letter of introduction its a reference letter from the embassy acknowledging they issued you a study permit and its sent right immediately after your study permit is approved or the few days after and its a very important document u must travel with.all the best
