Nah.

If for anything, NYSC is a very credible source of home tie. All you need to do is simply say you plan to come back to "serve your nation" after you're done with your masters and there you have it!

If not that she's trying to leave that part out of her application, all she will have to do is mention that in her SOP.

Fresh graduates are granted Study Visas without NYSC certificate every time. Don't nobody in CIC care about that green and white parade thing we do for one year after school.

sidnigga:
oh gal try defer to sept fall semester...It wud b kinda absurd to study for gud 4yrs n decide not to finish ur service before proceeding to anoda country to study..my thot anyway

@blink6 I think it might be a little too early to start bombarding them with emails. We only just did medicals last week and got responses faster than usual. Also, they probably have a timeline for these things so I think waiting for a few days more might be the best bet.

(Let someone not look too eager. I mean we are but let's hide it small)

From the trend here, paper route can be slightly slower than Online route. Let's see what happens this week. Keep the faith!

Kabosky1956:
@jaylinaaa...I used Paper route. How is it possible to get info from VFS,i don't think it's obtainable and you know it's been processed in Accra. God that kept me sane till now will perfect it-will wait till the end of the week and see!!!

Hmmm 10 weeks is quite sometime. I read somewhere on this thread that someone physically went to the office to seek answers and he got them. Not sure if you can do that. Did you use online or paper route?

Anyway, just wait this week and see how everything turns out. You are actually over due but I'm sure you will hear from them soon.

Kabosky1956:
I don't understand CIC ooooo....10 weeks and my application still processing.Sent them several emails this week and no response whatsoever. This is killing...no sleep, no rest of mind at all!!!!

Lol just to let you all who are scared that the embassy will check your account from time to time; They won't and they don't. It is against your right as a customer of a bank. You have a non-disclosure agreement as a customer. Nobody, not even your spouse, can ask for the details in your account. This can only be breached if it is a court order. You can actually sue someone for that. All the embassy does is ask if everything in your statement is correct as at when you submitted. The bank staff says yes (or no, as the case may be) and it ends there.

(I'm guessing this is why they ask for other financial evidence like properties, school fees receipt, etc just to give them extra proof that you can support yourself while in Canada)

So that guy who was wondering if he should invest his money while he waits for a response from the embassy, by all means do.

Going to Toronto first.

Let's talk in private?

Tsola6:
Dunno sef, was lookin at 29th, wat airlime do u wanna use? R u gona go straight to vancouver or u wanna get to toronto first?

Yes I'm going to BC.

Should leave 31st. How about you?

Tsola6:
Sup dear, shey ure goin to bc? Im goin to bc too, wen do u plan on leavin?

Dollar dey inside?

Siga:
.... Make me sef go check my CIC account ooo...

Thank you Tnuola!

We will congratulate you this week. Keep calm! :*

tnuola:
Tmrw or next.. Congratulations to you and Tsola6 and Jaylinaaa

Passed my medicals too! Did it on 11th. That was really fast! Thank God!

Consultants Practice, way to go!

Kabosky1956:
Good morning House....Many many congrats to all TRV's successful applicants and Medicals too. May it be Heaven on Earth for all who are still waiting for a positive !

Hey,

I think 9 weeks is a long time regardless of the paper route.

You might want to e-mail them to find out the status if you don't hear from them by next week.

The email address is accra.immigration@international.gc.ca.

Got there at about 9am.
Wasn't with anyone. Went there alone.
Well there was someone waiting for me outside the building if that's what you mean.

blink6:
Aii. When did u get there, and did u come with someone?
I want to know. Forgive my curiosity.

Oh yes I was there on Thursday. Didn't notice any "chinko" guy though :p Hopefully by Wednesday we will get a positive update on CIC account. Fingers crossed till then.

blink6:
@Jaylinaa, I was told u was at children's consultant at ikoyi on Thursday. We might have passed each without knowing we family (e-family). Am the guy who wore a white polo with black stripes on it to the place. And looks like Asians (according to the nurse that collected our blood and urine samples).

It is well.

Aunties in the house should not answer?

Anyway, I think you might be able to go ahead. On my passport, my name is spelled Ufoma but on all other certificates, Ufuoma. I've never had any issues with embassies. But, maybe luck? I don't know.

sheriph:
Uncles in the house, I salute una oooooooo,,,,my wife name was wrongly written on her waec certificate. FAOSAT is the real name , waec wrote FAUSAT. U AND O is the different. can she use it like that. Gentle men in the house advice .

That's great! @HudsonBanks
I hope you get your good news soon.
If you've been following, CIC have given responses to applications submitted on the 21st-about 23rd, thereabout so 28th should be soon. No need to worry just yet, or at all anyway.
All the very best to you and your "Mrs"


Good morning everyone. I'm new on this thread. I'm sort of a Canadian citizen in the making (applied for FSWP) so I arranged for my soon to be "Mrs" to go do her masters in Canada so we can start our lives asap without worrying about distance and after initial disappointments God smiled on us with a fully funded masters program for her at the University of Calgary for January intake.
We've applied for TRV but still waiting on medicals, time is running out but I refuse to lose hope. I pray the Almighty grants us all our heart desires and more!
Please add us to the list:
Applied October 28, University of Calgary, online application, Postgraduate.[/quote]

Exactly what I was thinking!

Plus, what hospital do you plan using? And did you book an appointment?

redribs:
Those that did medicals recently, anybody know if the panel physicians have POS for card payment or I have to go there with the wad of 28k cash?

No, you need to have an account to get a PTA with the bank.

You will need to show proof that you are travelling and will need it. Say, your International Passport with a visa in it.

double08:
What and what is needed to apply for "personal travel allowance"?

Can someone just go to any bank even if u don't have an account with dem?

Thank you @realone01

Thanks @redribs. Thinking of going on Thursday or Friday. Wonder the excuse I will give to them in the office.

Thanks @Joe980 and @anugoson God will answer your prayers. Amen

Remember that day that I was only "practising" how I will share my own good news. Today is my day.

I have just being called for my medicals.

Words cannot express. I am still actually in shock. When I saw that mail from CIC, oh boy, I never thought my heart could skip as much as it did.

See ehn, I want to say a big, big thank you to all of you. I did my application myself, wrote 4 pages of SOP, forgot to put my pay stubs, did not notarize one document, did not pay tuition but my God still favored me. He that did it for me will do it for you too in Jesus' name.

God bless all of you.

I applied on 21st October, did my Biometrics on 23rd.

May God gift us with many more good news by His grace.

Congrats @redribs I always admired your faith, always one of those very positive people on here. It paid off, congrats!

Hello,

I think you should run a google search. Something like "colleges in Canada offering **** undergraduate courses". You should get a lot of information on colleges you can select from. Then check their websites for requirements. Seeing that you are going for undergrad, I think a good WAEC result will go a long way and a good essay too. The processing time depends on the school and they usually have deadlines. But apply early! You might want to apply to at least two schools to avoid any disappointment.

When you get your admission, you can start finding out how to apply for a study permit but one bridge at a time

freshskillz:
Hello house pls I want to know about Canadian colleges(undergraduate)....how long does the admission process take+how long does the visa process take?....do I have to pay full tuition before applying for the visa?..,.thanks

I'm going to BC

Simon Fraser is a top university in Canada so way to go. It's also quite affordable as you rightly said.

Tsola6:
Btw, no1 here seems to b goin my way , BC, burnaby, ? Simon fraser university has one of d cheapest masters fee ive seen, $5k annualy, dats not evn up to a million naira + tz a metropolitan city. Im surprised people arent rushing dere... im doin a PBD becos i dint get offered a Masters even plus my 4.02 Cgpa.

Did you make a copy of your passport data page and did you submit it online? Or you didn't at all. You do not need up submit the hard copy passport if you went the online route. The photocopy is enough.

veron12:
Help! Help!! Help!!! I didn't submit my international passport in the process of applying online. But I'm getting too scared if it won't delay my visa processing. Please is anyone here that applied online? Please kindly help .It exactly 43 days I submitted my application and 31 days I did my biometrics.pls kindly be of help.

Keep positive guys... Believe

Just got back from Night of Worship, had a great time in His presence and I prayed for everyone hopeful for something, anything. TRV, Medical call, Admission, School choice, anything. God who did it before will do it again for you, for us. Amen

Just thought to drop a word of encouragement to those who have recently been delayed:

Nothing takes Him by surprise. He saw it coming and let it happen for a reason. Do not be discouraged or feel let down. "Better is the end of a matter than the beginning". Just say a simple prayer of gratitude to Him.

He will take all the glory in the end.

Good night

Hi,

You cannot send your transcript yourself. You should ask your school to do that for you as it has to be in a sealed envelope addressed to the school in Canada but first, ask the college what exactly it is they require.

Sunny4Gold:
Pls can any1 in the house explain how to send transcript to a college in Canada. Can I send it or I should ask the
school to send it?

Why are you so quick to update the bad news?

Seems like the Vo's blood dey hot....All u medical hopefuls be prayerful

This SOP is long and I struggled to read it. But I guess you already have your admission? So that's what matters.

castiello:
[b][/b] below you can find sample of my own statement of purpose

You're welcome.

You can leave it if that's the case. But the validate button is at the top of the page.

All the best with your brother's app.

MrsM:
Thanks so much jaylinaa! Your post was really helpful. I must admit that the schedule 1 form is giving us trouble. It keeps saying error and i cant seem to find the validate button. Maybe we'll just leave it...

Hi,

Personally, I put all my academic certificates and other extras that weren't in the checklist under the Letter of Explanation part. You can upload them there with your police certificate too.

Okay first, have you completed the questionnaire and already been provided with a checklist? (I'm guessing you're applying online)

If you have the checklist, there's an optional part where you can find the Schedule I form. It is just above the Letter of Explanation. Please fill it. There's been a lot of debate about whether or not but just to be safe.

I hope this helps.

MrsM:
QUICK QUESTIONS!!!!
Happy sunday people! I have quick questions for anyone who is online and who has already submitted their application before.
1. Please under what section should i upload transcripts and certificates?
2. Also where can I get the schedule 1 form? Ive been searching on the website.
3. Where will i upload the police clearance?

Please please please i will appreciate answers now as my brother plans to submit today. Thank you!

Lol. It's okay.
