EyinjuGod:
Hi, please did you use the new portal for your second application?

@ketima
@ makano, ma best friend
Make una no vex abeeeeg
I no b VO/agent.
Na village boy I b and I never even travel go Lagos b4.
What I was trying to say is d below:
Don't use agent; do it yourself...just like I did my myself.
Note: @JNATH was admitted to Cape Breton University (my school); and he made a post about wanting to use any agent given to him.
So, due to what I passed through in my 1st refused app coz of one so-called agent, I decided to let @JNATH know he can do it, just like I did mine with d help of some gurus here.
We have a WhatsApp group created 19th Feb, 2021, specifically for Cape Breton University students only; and came to existence b4 I got to know abt nairaland.
What we do is we try to bring together CBU students only.
What we do not do is we do not try to steal nairalanders
Not at all.
I don't even have time 4 that I swear.
Me wey dey even try raise money 4 my accommodation.
Some non-CBU students messaged me only to find out I came 4 CBU students only.
And guess what...they're back on dis great platform
Make una 4giv me oooo
I no explain myself very well
Na wetin cause am.
@ketima
@makano no vex. In d next 2 yrs, I go post my pic, and if u comment dat ur good comment, I no go reply with 'Brb'
Dis go b ma reply: 'yessooo ma boss, send ur aza, make I....'
But d only thing b say by dat time u for don rich pass me.

I remain my humble self.

Jioke1994:
We have a group WhatsApp already.
U can join us.
We'll teach u how 2 apply urself.
My 1st refused app was done by an agent in Canada.
My 2nd approved app was done by me, with d help of d gurus on dis great platform.
Tnx to them though.
Dey are really nice and intelligent.

Mine took 40days+

bahause:
Okay thanks. Still waiting for the GCMS notes. It's been over a month now, no response.

You're right.
I did d same.
I was able to get statutory declaration of age at a high court 4 both uncle and mum...2 show relationship btw me and my uncle.
I also used pictures of me and uncle too.
Guess what hpnd?
D rest is history.


[quote author=ifechidi post=109489359]I did the application myself, I made use of the Lagos Visa office checklist and ticked off all documents I attached. Like I said earlier, sponsorship letter was notorized, tuition payment made in full, CAC docs, SOA for 6 months, tax clearance for 3 yrs bank reference letter showing the accounts operated by d coy with sufficient fund. Employment letter signed and printed on coys letter headed paper. I'm still in wonder what the VO is actually asking for, or is it a crime to have a third party sponsor?
Although it's a pre-assessment note, I'm still going to address it. The application is still in progress so I have hope it'll end in praise.

That's what I did too.

bahause:
Hello.
Had my visa application to Canada previously been rejected and I'm still awaiting my GCMS notes. Previously I was self funded. Now I want to use a sponsor who's my uncle. He's my mum's elder brother.
Can anyone advice me how to go about this and what documents I can tender to convince the vo this time. Thanks.

Ok.
Tnx.
To travel on d 10th is better, right?

makano:
Hello Jioke

Even though Medicals is valid for a year, considering you are travelling close to the exiring date of your medicals, I will advise you do another Medical examination to be on a safe side...

Peace

Hi ppr hopefuls!
@makano and others.
I did my medical last year April 22nd.
I'll travel by April 10th or 15th
Will I be allowed at d port of entry base on my medical?
Tnx 4 ur input.

Tnx a lot.

Ketima:
Do I need to pay to send my passport to Lagos? NO. since you did biometrics in Lagos and want to send it to Lagos, you won't pay any transmission fee.
How will I know d amount am supposed to pay? The only fee you will pay in this regard is your courier fee which you will only know by going to DHL or the courier service of our choice.

Good morning and goodluck to every ppr hopeful!
Do I need to pay to send my passport to Lagos?

[quote author=Raeinn post=109313819]Hi guys I’m here to drop my details like i said I would and it’s going to be a long post. but before then i just want to encourage anyone at the verge of giving up. Please do not give up i beg you, hold God tight. I have been fasting 3 times a week for 8months since I submitted my application, i am not joking about this. I am a first time applicant, never travelled out of Nigeria before or anything. I will be 29 in August and I applied without having a job, so I didn’t even have any money to show in my personal bank account. And I didn’t add it. In March 2021, i applied to Holland College and University of Manitoba. I wasn’t properly informed before applying to these schools, i had a brief encounter with wokos travels because he handled my University of Manitoba application, but along the line my spirit was convinced to work with him so I disregarded the admission from University of Manitoba and that from Holland College, because it was a diploma and not a graduate diploma. I graduated in 2018 and i have a CGPA of 4.27 and i was eligible to apply for a master’s degree but the tuition i was seeing was too much and I wanted to change career path. So I decided to research and I found Niagara College, I applied for a PGD in April

Hi everyone!
It'll end in praise!

Pls, how do I contact the MP of my school?
My school is Cape Breton University, Sydney Nova Scotia.
Tnx 4 ur input.

Goodluck!
It'll end in praise!
Pls, how did u contact ur MP?

Olumidestella:

Thank you all for the helpful messages. I kept reading through the thread for ideas during my application.

He passed nothing.
Love can only change people.
That's my belief.

Teemenzo:
"Silly" and "Shameless" isn't necessary. I understand the way you feel about the post. We can always rise above our feelings and deal with issues properly. Anyways you have passed your message across. Some Nigerians can be very funny. We play with everything

I only believe you guys should have treated her better.
Love changes totally.
Please, please, not like this.
Thanks a bunch!

lilylurv:
If they say who submitted the most clueless application, na me but when God is involved, protocols are waived


I submitted long before I even discovered this group on NL with the guide of a friend, and our thoughts as at then was that it's just a permit without TRV, since border was closed then.

Oya, here is my 'tori'

Admission don finish...I was told to change my course for the ones available in January 2021, but I decided to wait it out till Sept, 2021.

2021 came, I received my LOA on 1st of June, after a deposit of 265o, okay...wuruwuru, I combed 'inside and outside'...I came up with this few documents and submitted...then backed it up with midnight prayers, afternoon prayers, church prayer points, morning prayers, anywhere prayers...I prayed all through the process o...because if it by documents, I did not even submit half of what I'm seeing here

Documents Submitted

Above all, I prayed! I fasted, I did personal vigil asking God for favour.

And, indeed, The Lord answereth prayers!

My brother applied over there for me.
Things i did differently SPIRITUALLY. I used his words. His word is yes and amen. I am a Christian and I declared it that i will get it

I am a believer and i used his words. I still remember this morning by 5 am i had a dream that I wasn’t approved . I quoted scriptures and countered it.

@makano, tnx for your reply.
My sponsor recently travelled, and I don't know when he will come back.
I have 2 sponsors
Should I submit for my main sponsor, and use webform for my second sponsor.
Or, is there anyway I can do high compression with good quality.

makano:
Hello Jioke

It must be 4MB..

And make sure the documents are clear, cos I have seen in a GCMS note where the Visa Officer pointed out an SOA that wasn't clear as one of the reasons for refusal....

First bank does MBS, if your branch can't do it, go to another branch.. We have First bank branches everywhere..

Better still you can take the time to go to their headquarter and do it...

Do not take chances..

Peace
