ChriGo: ....Nna see lecture....I dey feel u pinket ....but seriously lets face the fact, online route doesnt need much packaging as such....once ur course is onpoint,ur SOA they okay, ur home tie strong then that should do it for the online route....greatheights who also went online route didnt even submit anything to prove home tie and still got medics...of which dem no born the dude well to try that with paper route ......canadian based VO's are really nice....

Yeah those Canada base VO are nice. Most VO in Naija here are even Nigeria babes. They have only Two whity. Online has more chances of success and i like the risk that guy took by withdrawing his papper and applying online. He was able to read the time like the men of isacaah. He just want to grab his copy now while it lasts. I am not saying others should do same oh. Everyone has his own decision to make.

kingRoosevelt: But someone on this forum just said he applied July. .and got med call up..they might pass and still come back ..they keep saying they're working on May 30th and all but people in june and July are getting med call up..someone in May 11 still got called whilst they are working on may 29. the point is we are not even certain again.only them no how them dey take arrange am.

They pick interest on applicants who used sponsor as father, mother, bro, sis, husband, wife and treat them faster. I am not saying those who used uncle or antie or cousin or friend or neigbour or company cannot get approvals oh but they process those one when they like. Look at most peopke geting medical calls. Ask them who their sponsor were and u will conlude 85% are close sponsorship having high success rate.

toplevel: Kelly4top, please help did you certify your transcript from the german embassy or you did it through a lawyer because I want to do my through a lawyer hope they will accept it because am base in port harcourt please respond immediately

I certify mine in High court. They also accept certification done from High Court. EVEN UNI-ASSIST DOES TOO.

However, concerning the on-going Nigerian Immigration Service recruitment exercise, I learnt from sunnewsonline.com (today) that there are only four hundred of vacancies available and more than six million Nigerians have already applied.
To make matter worse, the application is not free, you are to pay a non-refundable application fee of one thousand naira, with no chance or hope of succeeding at the end of the day.
Why should they sell out six million application forms when only 400 spaces are available?
Why do we have all the natural resources that keep other developed countries going and yet we live in abject poverty? Who is that MESSIAH that will convert the wealth under our feet to the wealth in our hands?

Godson201333: The best thing is to wait,The school cant do anything with the foreigners office.They cannot even give foreigners office any order.

some school does. During mt time, my school did for me. To the extent that my school even told me the day my documents was received by foreigners office electronically. They even told me why there was delayed was that the foreigners office said they did not receive my doc early. I even told Tope about the issue then, and he can confirm am right.

Guys do it yourself.

Big aunty: is there going to be cancellation of free tuition program in germany anytime soon

No one can really tell so grab the opportunity now while it last cos i remember delaying then for Sweden when it was free and before i knew it, they started charging very high.

Onye oma: I don't think that's a complain,tis just a question...and yes, his question is very necessary...

Pls, read all the Nairaland rules, esp no. 11 to avoid making further mistakes...

Are you his mouth piece?

steelie: See what you guys are saying...Someone advised calling them everyday..i laugh. you think you dealing with admissions office?...You guys better calm down before you call rejection upon yourselves...You will start getting good news by friday.

Visitors, workers and students can apply online for faster processing by cic.

The Department aims to process applications as quickly as possible, and encourages visitors, workers and students to apply online or to visa application centers (VACs).

Electronic applications give CIC much more flexibility in moving case processing to offices with the capacity to handle them.

If you have already submitted a paper application, please do not submit an electronic application as this will only cause additional delays in processing.

THE GUYS WHO APPLIED ONLINE DID NOT TELL US WHO THEIR SPONSORS WERE TO ENABLE US TAKE STATISTICS IF THE ONLINE APPLICATION DOES NOT REALLY CARE ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH WHO YOUR SPONSOR IS COS THE PAPER ROUTE IS HANDLED BY THE VO IN LAGOS AND THEY CARE SO MUCH AND THE ONLINE ROUTE IS BEING REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY CANADA OFFICIAL IN CANADA.

WERE YOUR SPONSORS PARENTS OR SIBLINGS?

solomonwis: I really don't want us to go back to this again so we don't derail the thread.

Debit and credit card practically offer the same thing. The difference is that while credit card allow you spend money you don't have in your account up to a particular limit,debit card will allow you spend only the money available in your account. Using a credit card entails that you run a current account but you can link your debit card to either your current,savings or both. Maybe where people are getting it wrong is in this definition. I also understand from my findings that not all debit cards are enabled for online transactions some are mere ATM cards.

If what people call CREDIT CARDS are those cards which have to be funded before transactions are effected then my submission is right that what we have are look alike credit cards.

Regarding the token,even Humanshado couldn't agree with me less on that. You might not have experienced where you have to input your securecode using your card and that doesn't make that fact false. Kjbobo,I will advise you look through the previous post to understand that we are talking about NAIRA MASTER DEBIT CARDS not just debit cards. I don't know your background,but your saying the word “debit” does not connote it being useful for online transactions is an error. Please check that up again.

I have spoken based on personal experience and the proof are there for anyone to see.
Please let's move on so the thread won't derail.

Top of the day to everyone!

solomomwis, please note that Canadian online visa application does not accept debit card even if it's master debit card. only credit card payment will be successful. Credit cards has an opening code with master or visa platform while debit do. So when the system detects the code is debit, it will not scale thru. I am speaking from experience.

humanshado: @Solomonwis, ChriGo and Co. I applied for TRV online. What I am going to mention here are totally based on my personal experiences.

I agreed with Solomonwis that one could use Naira debit card for online transactions, POS both in Naija and abroad and even withdraw cash from ATM machines. I did all that both in Nigeria and several other countries among which are UK, USA, Netherlands, Japan and even UAE, just to mention a few. This is to show you that these cards are acceptable but with one condition. The condition is the level of security and trust from the country where the debit card was issued. On one forum somebody used a debit card from India but was not successful but when his cousin used his debit card issued by a bank in Germany, it went through. My understanding is that the merchant sets the acceptable risk. You may see 'credit card' only but when a debit card is used from a reliable source, it might be accepted.

Now with regard to CIC payment. All the debit cards I have used at one time or the other to make online payments, POS and even withdrew cash from ATMs outside Nigeria failed on CIC payment portal. I attempted more than 50 times ( I did not count, just guessing). What I did was to ask a friend to use his credit card issued by a Nigerian bank and wola! it sailed through on first attempt. And who said there is no real credit card in Nigeria? To my understanding, a credit card allows one to spend without having the money in ones account and pays interest on balance if the credit free period elapses. Credit cards usually have credit limits depending on the user's income or cash flow into the account and it could also be set by the user himself. My friend's card has all these features.

In a nutshell, if you want to make payment on CIC website use a REAL CREDIT CARD not prepaid credit card to save yourself from frustrations. Please anybody with additional information should please add or correct me please.

Just to add to what you said.... I have worked in Zenith bank before and I can attest to the fact that high risk public sites are majorly set to accept only credit card cos credit card has low risk compared to debit card cos with debit card, once i steal ur card number i can pay online and ur money don debit commot from ur account be tht but with credit card, they will not debit u until month end and if u receive alert and it happens u did not authorize the payment, your bank will not charge you at month end and will cancel the fraudulent order online.

so hope you guys now understand why cic prefer credit cards....just to reduce risk.

ChriGo: ....ok bro wana cum in here....how would u explain someone that used a GTB debit card for online university admission payment and was successful and also used dat same card for cdhc visa payment and failed?..and later used anoda card(credit card) and was successful....waitin for ur informative coment sir....Tanx....

Chrigo, you have already answered the question nah.....it means only credit card is accepted. Some site are built to detect debit cards and reject them.

topeajis: Yah And much depends on the City u Want to study in... Nigeria embassy will send Ur documents to the City auslander

Yeah, they send it electronically.

Power Engineering - McGill University

This universities na die oh. Admission will be too competitive. You dont know of colleges too?

ChriGo pls do you know any college or university that offers PGD in electrical or power engineering in Canada? Any one that has info pls drop for me.

honourableseyi: haaa this one na something oooooo. But please can we get the type of questions been ask at the embassy so that someone will know and understand which area to beam his or her searchlight on. Though reading about Germany and the state where someone is going is less cumbersome but this test of a thing that you don't even have the idea of where they are going to come out at you is something else. Please someone should help here ooo(oga Topeajis, Godson,kellytop and all the people that has passed through this) before I begin dey press the panic button.

The guy in my class in Germany say he was given basic mathematics test in pythogoras theorem, Bodmas, factorisation etc and physics test. But my guy going for master said he was given test based on what he studied in Bachelors which is biology ... What is ecosystem? What is survival of the fittest? How many bones has human, define toxicology, what are mamals? Define blood, draw typical human cell etc na this one i fit remember oh. The guy said he wrote well cos na Biology him study for bachelors. He said they have quaestions for different courses depending on what u studied.. Actually the guy was dull and could not answer simple interview question so his saving grace na if he can pass the test. Remember what Godson said...try hard to perfom well and avoid writing test cos them fit set wetin man don forget since even though e simple and also pray for God's favour cos me i no write the test.

pls house does anyone knows how much is tuition fee for undergraduate course in University of calgary- engineering. Also does any one knows any school in Canada that has PGD in electrical engineering or power engineering?

ChriGo: Hmm!! Bros abeg no scan fake docx oo.....i believe ur docx has one or two contact info on it...dis is one of dia way of verifying and sum times if they aint clear about one or two docx dey request u bring it to dia office by hand........there will be a section wia u upload ur passport photograph,follow there specification e.g 35 x 45m on white background.....and as for ur int'l passport,wen cdhc are ready to approve ur visa dey will request u submit ur passport by hand or tru courier.......

Thank you very much. You so much analys this issue like a simple course and am so sactisfy now without any question again. Maybe ur talent is to become future Canadian professor cos any student u teach no surpose fail unless the person brain is empty.

ChriGo: After scanning ur every document there will be a section were u will be require to make payment with ur credit card(master/visa).......wen applying online,u will create an account called cic account were u will scan ur docx and make payment...its dis same account u will use in monitoring ur application.....sort of like registering for a facebook acctn and filling all ur details,uploading pix ,etc....dere is an inbox section in ur cic account were u watch out for mail from embassy about ur application.....hope i made it simple?....

Yes my bro u made it so simple and i understand everything now but what i dont understand is.. If u scan those documents online, how will the embassy know if it is fake or original? How will the embassy get ur passport photo and international passport for visa?

ChriGo: yes....u submit everytin online....its done by scanning all necessary and additional docx u have.....its pretty easy.....vfs is for paper route so u do not need it......

Do you mean u apply online ans scan all original documents including bank statement of account to them without them even seeing the original documents? How then do you pay your visa fee? Do you also scan the bank draft to them? I dont really understand how it goes? How will u track ur application online?

hello house, if you choose to apply online, do u submit all ur documents online too without using the service of the vfs global to send the original document to the embassy? I really dont know how this online application for visa works. Somebody please enlighten me.

topeajis: Pls dont Talk about That cold now u they Scare me abeg..

Tope you really never exerience German cold oh. I surprise when you tell me say cold dey catch u that time u just landed cos summer was already approaching then. Na we meet real cold. You go adapt. Lol. I dont like cold as well.

dmitroika: hello house, tope, godson,kellytop and other nairalanders that applied to get a visa to Germany, pls which of you guys were interview by the elderly german woman at the embassy? i mean the woman that carries out the biometrics. how did the interview go? and were you issued the visa?
i'm just still kind'a curious because she was mean(sorry to say).. oya make una share your experiences abeg

The woman only get pissed off when you cannot speak out to her hearing due to panic or when you kept repeating same answer always. As far as the interview went fine at the end, you will get your visa. I hope she did not give u test to write? Cos in my class we are supose to be 5 Nigerians but one was denied visa because he failed the test that was given to him by the Embassy after the interview. They wrote him back after 5 working days that his visa was denied because of poor perfomanance. They have even started settting exams for master applicants too. My guy on 16th this month going for master was giving test in his area of bachelors studies after the interview and i was shoked. I really dont know the criteria to avoid the test cos it's not everybody they set test for. Who among you wrote the test? Dont worry ur visa is granted. E better say make the woman mean and you get ur visa but make she no give any any writen test under tension.

pfanen360: Hi I want to ask about the foreigner office... the information sheet that the school gave me specified an electronic visa if €120... Please was that what you did? Or does it not apply to Nigerians

Do you mean ur residence permit fee in Germany? Visa fee in Nigeria Is 13k. You will also pay for ur residence permit application fee here when u enter Germany after getting accommodation and health insurance. The permit fee ranges from 110-120

naijaobi: @TOPEJIS and GODSON... Before u jump and quote me wrong, why dont u read back to see wia d conversation started..
JOHNYEMMY was saying dat D7 is not a problem dat universities in Nigeria accept it..and i was strongly against it by telling him dat its nt true...dat probably its only some unserious private universities in Nigeria can eva admit u with D7.. Y'all should go back and start reading from wia one guy asked weda D7 is acceptable, then u will no weda am against it or not...

my bro i will advise u write English test and dont bother seek admission with a grade of D7 in Germany cos it's gonna be a day dream.

topeajis: Even our C6 will be Doughted self nt to talk of D7

my school sef dont accept C5. If u have anything less than C4 they will request you go and write TOEFL.
