I was a student of one of the Nigerian universities doing a diploma program. Almost two years into the program, the NUC scrapped diploma programs for universities. I was broken! So I decided to study abroad.

I applied for a visa to study in the US five times within a period of one year!
I couldn't get past the interviews cos I couldn't explain myself to the VO (kind of an introvert).
So I decided to try Canada once and if I didn't get the visa, I would give up any hope left of studying abroad. Fortunately my first application has just been approved.

I have never crossed Nigerian borders. That is, I have no travel history.

Observation:
I'm not a guru, but from my observation spending a lot of time on the US student visa thread and this Canada student visa thread;
The VOs know there is a 70% chance of we not returning to Nigeria after graduation, but they can't deny all applications based on this fact. So they want someone who shows potential of adding something positive to Canada, incase the person doesn't return to his/her country.
They key is just "self-hype". In my SOP, the way I hyped myself, you'ld think I thought Zuckerberg how to code.
(Hype yourself with sense sha)

Note: The above doesn't mean you should neglect saying you will come back to Nigeria. In my SOP, I stated some career opportunities for computer science graduates in Nigeria.

I fasted and prayed too. God did his part and I did mine. Thanks to God.

Special thanks to Frankreubben.
This guy went out of his way to teach me things I didn't know about the visa process. I too go ask am question!.. lol.... Thanks a lot brother.
Thanks to everyone who shared their profile and contributed in one way or the other to this thread.

To the hopefuls, "It shall end in praise!"

Congratulations

Kenya people

NOVEMEBER APPLICANTS ANY LATEST APPROVALS?......

I stand to be corrected but with recent happenings, if one received a biometric validation letter before medical request or passed, I think one should increase prayers because it's not so good a sign.. Just what I have noticed currently.. I stand to be corrected . May the favor n mercy of God rest on all our applications

Online or paper?

We shall all sing songs of victory in Jesus name.. Amen

Log on to their site and read it up,
http://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada
But from what I was told at Lagos vfs, no one can pick up your stamped passport, it has to be you.[/quote]

how far with japan applications.. gotthe sms too

How far APC guys?

Gudevenin all .. I had to go find out things myself. I placed a call to them,(dpr).. with their contact number.. and the reply was .. if you got the update mail well, dpr is still trying to give u a fighting chance at d recriutment cos your credentials are not complete n correct n needed an update... If u got d mail n you can't access d portal then call them so that you can be able to Edith n re scan ur credentials correctly.. if you didn't get the mail n no access to portal, means your credentials r complete n u Shud b hopeful to be called for interview... The site is down that's y it's displaying APC.... N only those whose documentation have issues that can access their portal so as to be able to Edith it..hence d mail.... ..
This was the explicit information I got from them today wen I called...
PORTAL STATUS DOES NOT IN ANYWAY A DETERMINANT IN MOVING TO THE NEXT STAGE.. be hopeful.. n keep trusting God..

neoclassical:
The truth is that, there are over 100 seemingly RELIABLE SOURCES since the commencement of this recruitment exercise. Anybody that participated in YOUWIN Programme 2012/2013 can attest to the fact that the so-called reliable sources in this thread cannot be compared to what we saw in YOUWIN thread then, at the end of the day all proved to be false. Some even went as far as claiming that they spoke with the PA to then Minister of Finance, Dr. Okonjo Iweala with convincing evidence. In the long run, all the RELIABLE sources become UNRELIABLE. Sequel to that, I have become skeptical about most of these RELIABLE sources till DPR proves otherwise. Thank you.

God bless you boss

meetgaya:
On point, i received a mail from NNPC a year later to update my profile then I just collected my MBA result which I added to it but to be frank that was the last time I heard from them not even a regret mail.

Also during that recriutment I didn't get any mail to update my profile but I was sent an SMS that I was shortlisted for the test which I wrote... Everyone Shud pls keep hope alive n leave watever speculations that have been flying here...

Pls all I need a sample for affidavit of sponsorship.. Thanks.
