Long Post Alert!

Hi guys! I’m super excited to make this post. I came across this forum when I was about to submit my application and I have been a silent reader. Sincerely speaking, all the information I gathered from page one of this thread and from individuals’ comments aided me in putting together my application documents.

I’m a graduate of Petroleum Engineering (MSc & BSc). I was offered admission to do an MSc in Mining Engineering programme (Petroleum Geostatistics concentration) at the University of Alberta, beginning January 7, 2019.

Here is my application timeline:

November 22 - Submitted my application (paper route), with upfront medicals.
November 23 - Linked my application to my online account
December 5 - Medical exam passed.
December 6 - Received correspondence letter for biometrics validity (from Nairobi).
December 6 - Eligibility review began
December 21 - Received another correspondence letter for biometrics validity (from Lagos).
December 24 - My application was approved.

Document submitted

Academic Documents:
• Acceptance letter from the University of Alberta.
• Receipts of payment for official transcripts processing, to meet admission offer conditions.
• MSc/BSc academic transcripts and degree certificates
• West African Examination Council (WAEC) certificate

Proof of Financial Support:
• Funding letter from the University of Alberta (indicating CAD1,750/month stipend plus full tuition cover). This was my only proof of financial support.

Other Documents:
• All the required CIC Application forms.
• Police character certificate
• Upfront medical form
• Data page of International passport and page showing travel history.
• NYSC certificate
• Birth certificate
• Certificate of Origin

• Letter of Introduction from the lecturer I work with (as a Graduate Assistant).
• Letter of Introduction from my HOD/MSc Thesis Supervisor.

Above all, I give all thanks, praise and glory to the Almighty God for His immense grace and favour. For all TRV hopefuls and everyone reading this post, may God speedily grant to you unmerited favour in Jesus Mighty Name…

Happy Holidays!

Thank you for your response. My application portal shows that I need to send two transcripts college 1&2. my plan is to take my OND transcript to my university and have it sent together with my BSc transcript using the school authorized courier service.
I just want to be sure it won't be viewed negatively on my application.

Thanks.

Omoarukheo:



Some people get it earlier but you're right! I got worried cos my travel date was too close

Omoarukheo:
Justobserving1 and pheoebe, I got my stamped passport yesterday

HOTemple:
Did you get your letter of introduction? And how long after the passport request did you get it?

Omoarukheo:
Hi,
Justobserving1 and pheoebe, I didn't have to go to the embassy anymore cos I got a reply from Nairobi. They said something about the application being finalized and the passport will be sent to Vfs in a few days!

Hopefully we will hear from them soon

Best regards

Omoarukheo:
Justobserving1 and pheoebe, I'm going to the embassy at vi today, I'll let you guys know what's up

pheoebe:
@omoarukheo, @justobeserving, any update on your passport and visa stamp please? Have no idea why this is taking long, and I fear they'll be going for Christmas break this weekend.

Omoarukheo:


Phoebe has gone to Vfs, hopefully she'll have some news for us soon.

Omoarukheo:


When did you submit and has anything changed on your cic portal? Mine is still the same, eligibility review is on but it shows application has been approved send passport to finalize application. Is yours the same way?

Omoarukheo:


Hii,
Not at all o, what about you?

Omoarukheo:
Hi guys,
Submitted my passport for stamping since dec 5th and I haven't gotten it back! Been tracking it keeps saying processing, I'm traveling in some days and I'm super worried about it! Please what can I do? They're not even picking their calls

Austacus:
@Justobserving1
Congratulations
The correspondence letter Is the letter whilst you will get after your visa has been approved.
It is used at the port of entry in Canada airport.
If you haven't received yours, try and email cic for it and you we get it real quick.
The letter is important and its different from the biometric correspondence letter.

Make sure you get it before traveling!



@Agbons101 you dey try even after you got your visa approved you still they help out.
Thanks

Awuuga:
Congratulations bro. I told you it will come, on or before Friday. The Correspondence letter will come in much later.

My application was approved on a Friday as well, I didn’t get my correspondence letter until Tuesday.

You can go & collect your stamped passport from Vfs. Once again, congratulations.

lonelydude:
