hello guys. been a while since i was on here. anyways i just got info from a friend that the processing time for canadian visa from nigeria is now about 6 months. i don't understand if thats true. and i checked the cic website and saw 31 weeks!!! am i mistaken or what? i know that when i applied at oregun, it was processed from ghana. and i can see from the cic website that ghanian processing time is 8 weeks. here is the link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/temp/students.asp

People of God, abeg i have one question...i intend to sponsor myself fully as i have the means. Is it still necessary to involve another sponsor say an Uncle or brother? Just wondering if having an additional sponsor except self will convince the VO

IMO, yes.

@ inkblood. Call the grad secretary of your dept and ask about the status of the pre app. Usually the pre app is processed first and then the dept would have gone thru all your soft copies of credentials you had sent to them. They will then get back to u. requesting u to fill the online app and send all ur original transcripts from ur uni in nigeria along with references and all.

good suggestion. thanks. i will call them to find out the status of the application.. however, that is no guarantee that they will give me the admission at all, so i still need to look out for a second application. any schools will be very appreciated.

hello guys. please i need help on getting a course. my initial application was rejected for some reasons which i am trying to tackle. one of those reasons was my course. i have a beng in electrical engineering, and i applied for graduate certificate in projects management. now i want to get admission in electrical engineering and its seeming impossible. i have a 2"2 so cant do masters, i have to apply for a pgd in electrical engineering. however despite all the search i have been doing for about 7 weeks now, i could only find one school that does pgd in electrical engineering(i dont know if i am doing it wrong), and that is uni of saskatchewan. i applied with their prequalilfication form and havent heard from them for over 6 weeks now. what i need is to know a school that does pgd in electrical engineering so i can apply before i run out of time as most schools seem to be ending application in march. i would really appreciate any help please. i have checked so many schools, even used that university finder. only seen saskatchewan so far. any info that could be helpful please. thanks guys.

Efizzi:
They do sir..100percent.

on the contrary. i have just written the school and they have told me that they DO NOT accept second class lower. if they did i would have applied. anyways i am applying for pgd in university of ottawa. they accept 2`2

@tnuola....here is the site you requested for (to request for details of your delay) http://www.gcmsfile.com/

please what is this site used for? what is the need for it?

thecommunist:
thanks brother. I guess i will apply in two different universities i will go ahead and take my chances with MUN for masters in elect. Then i will apply for post graduate diploma in another college or university.

BOSS, are you sure the MUN accepts second class lower? i think you should confirm before spending your money. because generally canadian universities don't

happy new year everyone, i havent been on the thread for a while. hope i didnt miss too much. congrats to all those that have gotten their trvs and to the hopefuls wish you the best of luck. to those like myself, that are about to refire, this is our year

9jabiggurl:
oh ok....that questionnaire...i get it now...done already sef... thanks @ Amefrica you are far too kind

please which questionnaire is this one again? i guess there are two? i only got the one posted by joe980

Mcjimmy:
Gurus please there is something bothering me which I need experienced people to shed more light into. My question is does age really affect someone apply for TRV with a diploma admission letter. Because I have a cousin who has just been denied but d only reason they ticked is purpose of visit and he is 29 yrs old.please I need someone who's got experience in the kind of situation... Oga Siga abeg and some other people already in Canada.

okay i am not a guru, but i think they will deny him visa if the diploma course he is going for is less than the certificate he already has. he will look desperate. if for example he has a bachelors, and is going for an ordinary diploma and not a pgd, he will look desperate.

checkyink:
Thank Onyeoma, I want to ask if anyone has used photocopies of such documents and got visa approval. Also what are certified true copies ?

the certified true copy is a verified, high quality, colored photocopy of your original documents. the verification is done at a high court. you take the colored photocopies and the original(though this might not be really need, but just take it there) to the court and ask around. they will stamp each of the colored photocopies to state that it is the same with the original. i was charged N1500 bucks for like 8 documents, but i went through some hustler at the court. so beware and tell them you know it is 50naira per page. that should help your cost.

chuckie414:

PLEASE I AM APPLYING FOR MSC ELECTRICAL N COMPUTER ENGINEERING IN UNIV OF SASKATCHEWAN.

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE SHOW ME THE WAY FORWARD.

i am also applying for university of saskatchewan. pgd in electrical engineering. i have just filled the prequalification form and waiting for them to get back to me. so havent even reached where you are. but i think they mean you should send your transcript.

please whats the difference/advantage of an online application over the paper route?

@anugoson boss. i dont know if you received my mail? please check your box. you were supposed to send me something. cheers.

pchax:
Here you go!

hello pchax. excellent sop. please i have some questions. mind if i pm you?

tnuola:
Help yourself on www.universitystudy.ca

thank you so much. this actually helped a lot. found exactly what i am looking for.

myownlife:
I think you still have enough time to refire, and you have been given enough clue as on how you can arrange your sop. I want to believe that with a well explained sop and faith in God through prayer you can still get the rev for the May admission instead of deferring again.

please, can i still get may admission now too? for pgd? how do i apply and what school? i have been on google for the past 48 hours. cc opsynusy

luvly3:
What program do you intend taking... Check Selkirk college and college of North Atlantic, they have tuition of less than 10k...

thank you very much. i will check it right now. i read electrical/electronics engineering, so i would like to do a pgd then masters in something related. cant be too picky now can i? but i am specifically looking for may admissions. i will check this college and get back to you. thanks a lot.

Please and please, people, just reading throught the thread now and it seems I'm not the only one going for pgd first. Please can anybody assist with a search for schools? The school I had in my previous application was a bit expensive. About $15000, although it was 1year. Went ahead with it as I did not have enough time then. Well now seeing as I am looking at september, I won't mind something cheaper. And if it is possible to get admission for may that would be the best. Help would be highly appreciated as I have been googling all day and can find anything reasonable. Thanks in advance.

gabialonso:
i doubt if this price range u givin is workable presently

I did mine for 20K in may, in benin, and my friend did his for 16k in august, in lagos. Both same day collections.

i'm searching for a school to do pgd in, where the fees arent too expensive. any ideas please? thanks in anticipation.

MsSbee:
Hey Everyone, any suggestions on how much passport is made now and how long it takes to get it? Secondly Advise on All dis Agencies who sort for schools 4 people especially those wanting Msc or Pgds...pls ur replies will be appreciated asap...thanks and Godbless y'll

the standard price for international passport is 13k. and it takes about 2 weeks to get ready. however, being naija, you can cut corners instead with anywhere around 16-20k depending on your bargaining power to get the passport same day.

@anugosun i have emailed you. please check.

luvly3:
If you are working, you are meant to provide pay slips, if you have a business u provide company registration documents... CAC is corporate affairs commission, the Nigerian body dat registers companies.

wow. i didnt provide any of that. and i do not have any businesses. well i am no longer working, so how do i go about it?

luvly3:
Hi, did you include proof of funds like payslips or CAC certificates didn't see those in your list of docs

proof of funds? no i did not include any of that. just statement of account and fixed deposit certificates. please what is a CAC?

moshood1993:
hmmmm we in the same shoe ...sent you a pm

i dont understand this pm thing oo. i can see you sent me a mail but i cant seem to open it on here. i guess i have to check my email box itself? will do that and get back to you.

chuckie414:
Hello bro,did they email you to and come and pick your documents up at their office in lagos or you just went straight to collect if after you tracked it and u saw that its been dispatched from ghana?...were you notified to come and collect your documents?

no. they did not call me. as soon as i tracked on the morning of 9th, and saw that the document had been returned on the 8th, i called their helpline, found the number on their website, and the person i spoke to said that means the documents are available for pickup. i immediately went to pick it up.

Anugoson:
Ur statement of account is ok! Ur intended course of study is it related to ur work experience?

yes sir. it was. i cant get this pm thing going, i will pm you as soon as i figure it out.

moshood1993:
hello my e-family ,my ogas in the hauz i salute oooo please i just got my reasons for denial ...............

1, you have not satisfy me that you going to leave Canada by the end of your study
2, travel history(never been out of nigeria at all)
3, length of proposed stay in canada
4, purpose of visit
5, limited employment prospects in your country
6, your current employment situation (i just finished NYSC last two month and am was serving when i applied. )

please house will really appreciate your contribution tnks

cc oga siga,justwise,blink6,double08,amefrica,tinuola and odas pleaseeeeee

these are the same exact reasons for my own denial too bro.

chuckie414:
Good morning my e-fam,to all my NL pardies that got their trv I'm so proud of you....and to some of us that got delayed please don't give up,if you read testimonies on here ,you will read where some of them have been denied 3 times before but got still got their trv on the long run..don't give up !

Now my question for today,I was told that my documents as been dispatched to nigeria since 10th but I still haven't heard a word as to when I should come and get it,I'm getting impatient because I really wanna know the reasons for my delay,,,please can anyone help me with a contact number that I can call to know when I should come and get my documents?...please if you've been delayed before you can help out here,thanks !

i think you should be able to get it immediately. because mine was dispatched on the 8th, and i picked it up on the 9th.

@anugoson. thank you very much. i will pm you right away. i used two accounts. my gtb had 7m+ genuine. and my first bank had 7m+ too(this was arranged by my agent). so it was a total of about 14m+ that was used.

blink6:
The almighty personal assets and financial status was not ticked. Cool. Tackling the above stated reasons, is not difficult. Travel history to me, is just a formality.
For hometie, u can use ur work too...
length of proposed stay, ought to be on ur acceptance letter. For job prospects, u havent convinced the v.o how marketable ur course if study is...

I will suggest u pay more attention here(the thread)... it is something u can do easily. Agents do guess work. ... when did you apply?

God ain't sleeping

i applied october 27. and from the cic page my document was returned on 08 december.
