Hello
Good morning to the house, I woke up to see this mail starring at me, though I sent a message using the online platform after my application passed the initial 14weeks processing time, starting from September 21, I think is even upto 17weeks now Base on the current processing time. Anyway have differed my admission till May, I's it still okay to send the Accra Vo a message or I should just wait? No medical call up since, the only mail I got was December 14 to upload my education certificate up till now nothing else.

please house anyone with any idea?. Application submitted September 21st

To avoid unnecessary headache and waste of time and resources just get a masters admission (with your high cgpa) and use that to apply for your visa and when you get here you switch to your pgd .

With the way things are, be like say these VO's no dey won take eye see PGD anymore.

And just to chip this to the house,with the recent development of the air pollution in China, the applicants from China have more than doubled both for direct PR and study permit. Most Chinese are migrating to other countries especially Canada. Make this one sef no go reduce quota further for the year 2017 for Nigerians and Africans in general.

have already applied for Visa. Still being hopeful for positive result.
My course though is on PGC not PGD. Though I still have an interest for a Masters program after the PGC or a year into the PGC if possible.

thesoj:
I get your points and you are right that one could choose a PGD over a masters if it offers better post-graduation opportunities. Having said that, I'd suggest you see things from the VO's perspective: PGD admissions are sooo easy to obtain unlike masters admissions, so desperate visa applicants are likeliest to go the PGD route but not as much the masters route.

Last year, a much higher fraction of PGD applicants got visa denials compared to masters applicants. Admittedly, this may be due to the possibility that PGD visa applicants are more likely to put together worse visa application documents than masters visa applicants (if we can infer from their lower CGPA and/or rush to leave Naija) OR it could be due to the likelihood that PGD applicants are more likely to pick courses that are incompatible with their prior education.

To be objective, a PGD is not equivalent to a masters, a masters is a superior academic qualification. Btw, I have nothing against PGDs (I have a sibling finishing a PGD in Canada and it has served him well)... just being objective here.

PS: You can study computer security in a masters program, but it would be a specialization under a computer science masters program. It also likely would be more foundational and theoretically comprehensive than what you'd get in a PGD program on computer security.

PGC not PGD

Hello house
I have cime across some post with people trying to make pgc inferior to masters and to me I really don't agree to that assertion. I think is a matter of interest and what either of the two can offer u going forward. Let me use my self as an example. I graduated with a CGPA of 4.28 in computer science, my interest was in computer security, all I get from the universities was Msc in computer science while colleges I got specifically what I'm looking for, cyber security and computer forensic my sponsor wanted an Msc but due to the fact Msc wasn't offering me what I desired, I opted for pgc and convinced my sponsor . It wasn't because of tuition, that in it self wouldn't have been an issue. But the interest is just the driving force. Trv to me is not factor of pgc pgd or Msc. Submitting what is required and pray that's all. I'm still an hopeful though but what ever the outcome I won't change for Msc.. hopefully it will be a positive outcome though.cheers.

#singing You made a way
When our backs were against the wall
And it looked as if it was over
You made a way
And we're standing here
Only because you made a way
You made a way
You move mountains
You cause walls to fall
With your power
You perform miracles
There is nothing that's impossible
And we're standing here
Only because you made a way
Don't know how but you did it
Made a way

God is been awesome, I got a mail from cic last night telling me I have a new message and I should check it (cos I linked my paper application online) and the message was my correspondence letter saying my study permit has been approved.
GOD IS TRULY AWESOME. So much tears of joy. He is never late, He is always on time. Thank you Lord
Would share my profile soon.

Once your application has passed the normal processing time stipulated by the processing office (Accra, Ghana), you should inform CIC through the web form here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp. Decisions on application is still at their discretion. Just use the web form and inform them while hoping for the best in the outcome.

thanks Austin.
Please what exactly should be the content of the message? Should I just inform them that my application have passed the normal processing time and the extention given to me from the school?

LC gave me an extention till 15 January after which if the visa isn't out i will defer to may. Since my application have passed the normal processing time of 14weeks, is it save to send message to the embassy and also inform them of the development with the school? Resumption was 2nd this month and I applied for visa 21 September

You're not in this alone, if that could console you. I applied on Sept 26th. Processing time is 15 weeks presently.

is a crazy situation...

nelly28:
sorry abt dat bro it will end in ur favour, but 've u tried tracking ur app thru d vfs office tracking site. success

Amen Bro. I'm literally on that site everyday

Hello house
This situation is just frustrating, ought to resume to lambton college 2nd of this month, for a 2yrs course on cyber security and computer forensics. After visa application since September 21, medical's not called in for, even sent the school a mail on the situation, maybe I can get an extension but no response yet. Why will the embassy keep advocating for people to come to there country to study and yet be this discouraging. Hope fading away gradually. Have anyone passed through situation like this before and still got trv?

Hello house
Happy new year everyone. Visa application done online since September 21 isn't it already 14weeks?

Hello House
Is it wise to send a mail to cic after exceeding maximum processing time?

teddybear20:
Fam I actually applied at the University of Prince Edward island which they are resuming on the 4th of January. how do I meet up. is it possible I meet up?

bro I'm facing same situation, mine resumption date is 2nd January...I'm just being hopeful

ifydio

Lol I think the reason for the change in processing time may be due to the holidays.
Late or not, approval is the only thing that matters.

Shout to all those for Winter 2017, our patience and prayers will turn out for good. We didn't get this far to give up. Keep the faith.

yes ooo

unyted:
I am in your shoes. Let's just hope for the best. The worst that would happen is to resume with the best available batch. The most important thing is to get visa approval. Cheers bro!

alright let's just be hopeful

abmendozer:
If you have submitted your application already without the upfront medical slip. Then you have to wait till you are called for medicals.

okay thanks

Hello guys
Please house I need an urgent advice, someone just told me that I can do upfront medical before the embassy do demand's for it, while still awaiting final decision. Is it advisable to do such?
