Congratulations. Which school? And did you include your Canada refusal in your visa application?

Naijaforeigner:
Hello all, so I arrived Toronto just now, passed border, immigration, collected SIN and waiting for RobertQ bus to take me to London.

And a wonderful Nairalander offered (infact 2 people) to take me from the bus park in London to the hotel provided for me by my school for 2 nights.

I will give full details of everything when I settle in my hotel later today. God bless nairalanders, the show of love is out of this world. Infact someone even offered to drive all the way from London to Toronto to come pick me from the airport to my hotel.

God bless Nairaland, God bless seun. Thank you once again to all those who have contributed on this thread, God bless you all.

Lord,, You have promised that, “before they call I will answer”, and so I am calling on You today 1st of December 2018 to please answer this prayer request of mine.. for every one of us visa application to be approved.
 
Lord, You know how important it is for us to get this application approved and You understand the difficulties that have arisen.. as well as the problematic delays that so often happen, when seeking visa approval.

Thank You that You are a God Who hears and answers the prayers of Your children.. when  we come to You with open hands and a humble heart. I pray in Jesus name,

Hello everyone..Pls pardon my long post. Finally my visa came out today after I submitted my passport on 18th September. I want to give the glory to God and thank everyone here especially those make very insightful contribution, the type that gingerred me to take some steps.

Mine is a strange one. Applied on 11th May. Biometrics on 23rd May. Medicals on 23rd August. Passport request on 18th September. And then everything came to a stand still for over 2 months. Within this period I submitted over 7 CSE webforms and wrote over 10 emails to Lagos VO but got maybe 2 responses. Meanwhile my online status remained at a confusing situation: eligibility review ongoing, meds passed, background check ongoing but application approved and passport requested. By October 18th I received a mail asking me to send in updated bank statement in a new format: bank statement request ticket plus password. My bank had not implemented this new format and so gabe me a cover letter to add to the normal statement. And then nothing again.

My last webform was responded to with the story that my application was in London. I wrote London last week and complained about the restriction of my movement for other personal and business travels outside of Canada with the continued with holding of my passport. London responded that my application has been approved since September and that they are aware my passport was dropped at VFS, can I go to VFS for "printing of your visa". So confusing! VFS does not print visas. Even then my many visits there revealed thar my passport was at the embassy.

Finally yesterday morning as I was driving to Anifowose instead of VFS as directed I got a call to attend an interview this morning. I was there by 6 am and by 8.30 I sat in front of an officer who told me my bank statements were not clear or legible. This is bery untrue as I scanned them myself. After barely looking through the updated statements I brought he asked me to wait for 10 minutes and in exactly 10 minutes my passport came out with my visa!

I applied to study MA Communication in UOttawa. My first degree ia in Pol Science, over 27 years ago. I had an MBA since 2001 and am a very mature appliacant. My SOI stated that after working in communication for over 2 decades I needed to retire to academics by studying in Canada and merging my long practical experience with serious academic scholarship for the benefit of my future students.

Document attached:
1. Acceptance letter and Statement of Intent
2. Dom account statement with over 100kUSD
3. TD acount statement with 40kCAD
4. Letter of employment, payslips
5. Travel history to Canada, US, UK, SA, etc
6. Scanned passport data page ( passport valid till 1st June 2019. So while waiting I applied for renewal and added the new passport via webform and email).

I did not add any property or evidence of family ties beyond what I filled in the family information form. Just the above.

Bottom line while waiting, I prayed and fasted like never before especially after I was told my application was in London.

My admission was deferred to Winter with the kind understanding of my faculty and I will be travelling by God's grace before new year. My testimony I did not lose faith in the power of God despite the odds against me as shown in many of the tesimonies and feedback in this forum especially about long gap from last degree

I pray everyone here will have a good story to tell and bery very soon in Jesus name. Amen.

Hello house, application approved.

Biometrics was done a week after
Submitted about 5m in my brothers account and evidence of fixed deposit 10m
License to practice
Statement of purpose
Letter of attestation from sponsor
Letter of introduction from work and bank
Payslip for sponsor and mine.


My statement of account didn’t fit the size so I didn’t submit.

Just generic responses.
Later added my transcript, certificate via cse form

22/11/18 -I was asked to submit passport
Submitted on Thursday, counterfoiled Friday, letter of correspondence on Saturday.

Picked up today.

It is only God that made it possible, I didn’t even pray so much but I always left it in his care whenever I could as I felt defeated. If you don’t believe in God, I don’t know what to tell you because I’m sure he’s the one that came through for me. I even submitted all my additional documents in financial support side instead of with SOP and I still forgot to submit some.

Lenta:
Silent reader although I have asked one or two questions here. I stumbled here after I submitted my application online.

My application was approved today or PPR came in today.

Applied July 8th.
Biometric July 10th.
Decided to do medicals on my own in August.
Medical passed 2 days after I uploaded my result.
My eligibility review started today 23rd November.
My passport request came in today 23rd November.

I wrote to them twice in September and I got the generic "processing" and "active processing" the first and second time respectively.

I graduated (B.Sc,Nigeria) in 2006, (MBA,USA) 2012.
Was refused permanent residence visa in 2014.
was refused visiting visa in 2017.

I applied for another Masters BTW.

Thanks to you all.

Hello Jummy902,

Are you sending a mail to them just to confirm the visa office that is handling your application? In the case that's what you intend doing, I must utter that it doesn't appear logical and for sure they won't respond to your query if you don't have a cogent reason for contacting them and also if your application hasn't exceeded the normal processing times for Nigerian applicants (15 Weeks). Please for crying out loud, let's allow these guys do their job and stop putting unnecessary fears on ourselves. The most important thing is getting an approval, not minding the visa office processing the visa.


Yeah true! I get your point.

Peace!

042viber12:


Send a mail to either London or lagos...dy will send the mail to the office handling your application and dat office is the one dat will reply your mail

Success2019:
I just confirmed it my application is been processed at Lagos.
I think from Nov to mid Feb , paper application are been processed in Lagos and not kenya

Bethomi:
Errrrrrrmmmmmm I have been a silent reader here and I've also learnt so much from you all


Got to know about this page after my husband and I submitted our application

I'm happy to inform you all that we got our application approval mail just now.....�

Naijaforeigner:


ok lets do it this way, can she transfer the money to your own account or she tells the bank to write a letter indicating she is the only signatory to that account. I normally don't recommend people using company's account although some have used it in getting their visa's.

when I did mine, My mum transferred from her company's account to my own personal account.

Naijaforeigner:
Jummy 902

Oh you are changing course... I see. Then I think your LOE should adresss this properly. Also, With a 2:1, it is expected you would go for masters. So you need to clearly explain why you are going for a PGD even though you have good result that qualifies you for masters.

I had a 2:1 and got a visa for PGC logistics and supply chain management same Fanshawe College. So it is very possible to get a PGD or PGC visa provided you give good reasons for doing that.

Can I suggest you write a good LOE to explain clearly why you are changing course. Can you also try and link the benefits of this new course to your mothers business and that you will be coming back to manage the business?

Please don’t let your LOE be too long.

Quick question, your mums account, was it her personal account she submitted or company’s account?

Naijaforeigner:


I am interested in this application cos I am also going to Fanshawe (travelling in December).

Your application is ok, I think you will just need to work on your LOE. Make sure your LOE links the direct befit of your course to your mums business. I would say redraft your LOE and submit next week.

I noticed you did not state you submitted your own SOA. Was the maintenance funds in your mums account or your own account?

Did you attach your receipt of fees paid? Why PGD? Was it 2:2 you had in your Bsc?


The maintenance funds is in my mums account.
I’m going for a pgd because i’m changing my course of study from what I did in B.SC. B.sc was in Economics and I want to do finance. I had 2:1 in B.SC

TFLASHOGEE:
sorry for the delay where was your application processed

Ezriela:
Congrats in advance

Agbons101:


is it not linked to your online profile? . ..if it is then check your profile , view application status and check all the steps from biometrics to medicals...etc..wish u all the best

042viber12:


Does it say Medicals passed

Senatorkolade:


Then you stand a higher chance of approval

Austacus:



If you do an upfront medical I'll guess you have 70% chances of visa approval.



As for me, I congratulate.

Senatorkolade:


If you did not do upfront medical, I am sorry, you have been refused

Austacus:



(It's 50/50 Chances)
Did you do upfront medical?

alftdbts:



Wow! Everything na G.O.D, keeping faith of a mustard seed that could move mountains.

Austacus:


Man want to abandon his oau msc (please permit me to laff )

Okay try Brandon, Regina, UPEI, Umanitoba. Check their official website and go straight to international student to get their requirements. Mind you, never you declare you abandoned your oau msc to the VO. that one be say you done shook your hand for lion eye only if you have a concrete and solid reason to tell them. Please if you have the link help a brother abeg
Nobody can guarantee you visa approval in nairaland. Just do the needful, submit airtight application and talk to your God
Goodluck to you.
