Congrats and safe trip when you travel. Miss nothing from madam and kids' shopping list o.

Thanks boss...I am not allowed to forget their list for dream sef talk less of real life (you go know say na woman na get house)

In 2006:
I applied for a student visa with no prior guidance and got roasted in the interview... ..got pretty scarred and forget US

FAST - FORWARD...Present day Buhari Naija 2017:
I was @ the visa office Abuja recently where I witnessed the brisk issuance of ..pink colored papers flying left -Right and center. families/singles were struck down brutally. The only people who appeared to be exempt where the elderly and aged senior citizens.

Now my interview. ...

VO: Good morning , passport (beautiful vo...she just bounced a guy earning 600k and I just shake head at the contents of my salary )

ME:Good morning Ma, (I give am passport)(for my mind...na you get yam and knife)

VO: Where you travelling to?
ME: Virginia (I got to know in Nairaland that virginia no be good tourism site but I done fill ds160 form submit b4 I see nairaland )

VO: why virginia?
ME: vacation , visiting my friend from University days, TOURISM(she no let me talk wetin I spend weeks dey cram ..cheiiii)


VO: how long are you spending in the US
ME:30 days

ME: I am a medical somebody

VO: Where do you work
Me: I work as a medical somebody in Bleep state but commute from Bleep state

VO: how long have you been working
ME: total 12 years (4 years here and 8 years there)

VO: Are you married
ME: yes ma (quoting my wife's name)

VO: Do you have children
ME: yes Ma (quoting their names)

VO: (she types on her computer and repeats what I did not say)So you say that you have a child

VO: (She looks @ me and ask to see the old passports because I had a new passport )
MEI hand over my old passports and she flips thru carefully )

VOshe starts typing)....
ME: (I am yelling in my mind ....JESUS SAVE me ooooh )

VOshe hands me the white paper...The one that contains how to collect your processed passport )
MEI was expecting not to hear her other words as per reports from nairaland people, but I hear everything and I say thank you Ma )


as I turn to go, she calls me back to hand me my passport(s)..Guys , I forgot my old passports. I thanked her while walking away in slow motion. I thanked God for favor.

God bless you all here on this thread for your questions, insightful thoughts and answers.

I was in stealth mode all the time and I read almost everything on this thread. (it was really helpful )

Special thanks to GOD first..., then to the Gurus..lady G, justwise,Nef, Twoods (your sarcasm is top notch),bigbus , seyewest and everyone ..God Bless you all.

final notes:
I wasn't better than those denied. Some of the applicants had better profiles(but my guess is that they didn't have the guidance derived from nairaland ) I was just favored and blessed to have received guidance from this thread . I stated the truth in all sections of my application

My belief is : The truth pays all the time....THANK YOU ALL and May GOD'S blessings abide with you.....

jnyuwa02:


I am not going to be arguing stuff I don't know bro. Who says I haven't applied? I applied in Abuja and nobody asked me for a transcript so I didn't submit. I graduated first class honors, yet I didn't include my transcript because my school sent me official one and it's taking forever to reach Nigeria. I couldn't wait in perpetuity. I would not be the first person to do so. Another first class guy on this NL even beat me plenty. Not only did he not enclose transcript, he did not enclose SOP. Lol. And he got visa in four weeks. Go figure. The more you think you know, CIC will surprise you. Anyways do what is in your best interest. Best wishes.

Bros jnyuwa02. ..you have start again

Dear Sir/Madam,

This email acknowledges receipt of your documents. Kindly note that a final decision has been taken on your application.

You will be contacted by the Visa Application Centre once they receive it.

Thank you for your interest shown in Canada.

did you do an upfront medical? if yes 50:50 chance of an approval....if no....brace yourself for an unpleasant stuff..

my opinion....

Senatorkolade:
Nigerians are the most problematic people in the world with the way we abuse things.
Before now, Canadian study permit applications were not difficult for Nigerian students even with PGd or ordinary diploma but some unscrupulous Nigerians abused this privilege in the past by absconding when they get to Canada. If this trend is not reversed, Masters applicants may be treated in this way in the future even with funding. I have heard of a Nigerian who used the funding money paid into his account to sponsor his family for SPWP application and now running up and down to look for the school fees when it is time for him to pay. Some abandon their study looking for money. I don't know why a 24 year old student is running up and down looking for money to build house in Nigeria leaving his Masters degree to suffer with the funding he got. This is embarrassing.
We had training with some Consulars including some Canadian Consulars. One of them told me that they get information about Nigerian applicants' tricks in study permit applications through the blogs. He mention some including this Nairaland. I was shocked to hear this. I then stylishly asked how he got to know about the Nairaland, he said they got to know when a study permit applicant mentioned Nairaland in his "Statement of Intent" he submitted to the Canadian High Commission. Since then, they have been peeping into what Nigerians post there. Please,I will beg people to stop posting fraud or indicting posts on Nairaland. The VOs are here.

Also I beg people in the name of everything you believe in, if you know that you don't have the primary intention of studying, don't apply for the study permit. Better go for Express Entry and that will be better for you.

For those considering the option of bringing their family into Canada through the Spousal Work Permit, if you apply for your spouse less than a year you get into Canada, you are endangering the SWP application. This is because you mentioned your family as one of your home tie when you applied. Now the same home tie is what you want to bring in. This gives the VO a doubt about what you initially told them. Mind you, you wife's Spousal Work Permit is a continuation of your initial study permit application. VISA Officer will reason that if you as the Principal applicant does not respect the terms of the visa given to to, how will he/she believe that your spouse will respect the terms of the work permit. This is logical.
Mind you, your school gives the CIC the feedback on how you pursue your program in Canada.

well I am of the opinion that the Canadian student visa thread (ON NAIRALAND )is almost devoid of fraudulent advice and practices. what we have in this thread are bunch of honest guys /ladies who try to be their brother's keeper THE RIGHT WAY.

besides you can always count on @justwise to do a clean sweep when necessary. ...
