If the person has done upfront medical nko?

If you have done upfront medical and you received BVL correspondence
Then it definitely 50/50 , it shall end in praises Amen
Let keep finger crossed

Bertram87:
With the recent pattern of receiving BVL before medical request mail from the Nairobi guys, the chances of getting a medical request are slim. But these VOs are full of surprises, tell the person to sit tight and pray.
It will end in praise.

Thanks you so much for the response
I understand
It will end in praises

Hi Everyone,. A June 7th applicant with no upfront medical just received a mail from Nairobi now
He applied through paper route, unfortunately he received Biometric correspondence letter instead of medical request,

Please my people in the house, my question is What is his chance in getting medical request

jessyeve:
We r here, paper applicant

Yes sure , I applied through paper route

Still waiting ooo and nothing yet
And you , have you receive any update ?

Any June 7th applicant ??
Still waiting ooooo

Bkoks:
Wow guys!!!

BVL and passport request dropped this morning. Wow Nairaland...you've helped me twice now in 2 years.

I'm so grateful for the immense knowledge gained through posts.

My question is, my sister dropped her passport with me in Lagos (she's back to Ado) can I help her submit it in VFS and also collect when it's ready? P.s. she signed consent for indirect submission and collection form.

Congrats.. please don't forget to share your details and timeline as soon as you can

Application profile
Admission into MSc/PhD in Biochemistry and Medical Genetics, University of Manitoba, Fall 2019. I secured a supervisor with full funding (23000 CAD). ( I actually have an MSc in Biochemistry but had to apply for MSc because UofM Biochemistry department does not admit international students to PhD directly: I will be doing one year MSc coursework and move to PhD for the remaining 3 years)
School fees: 12000 CAD

Documents submitted
1. Funding letter from supervisor
2. Printout from department website showing that they do not take students directly for PhD

4. Academic transcripts (MSc and BSc)
5. CV

18. WAEC certificate
First, i want to thank God Almighty, my own visa officer!! I very worried that the VO would think that because I applied for MSC rather than PhD, I want to run away, but God did it. I also did not submit my account statement or any landed property, but just explained in my sop that I'm passionate about making a difference upon my return to Nigeria. Even though I showed no proof other than my family, God still did it!
Thanks to all the gurus and friends on this wonderful platform. You guys are all so amazing, God bless you!!
To all those still waiting for results, God will speedily deliver your approvals in Jesus name.
God bless you

Congratulations Go and Prosper

Finally I got another letter on my portal yesterday, the correspondence letter to be shown upon landing in Canada with address of Lagos embassy, does it mean that I can go and pick up my passport now? because it was approved on Friday and I was thinking a text message will be sent.

To all the travel hopefuls we shall rejoice very soon my God's.

Godblesmyhustle:
Dear Hse,

has anybody gotten an "Approval" lately?

who else applied to Dal University here?

Dalbound Still waiting

blackfarmer1510:
Guys,

I just received Approval email this morning and realised my passport request actually came yesterday!!!!! Praise God people!!!!

I submitted all the other things required but I made bulk payments into my account and did not have up to four months statement.

I paid half of my fees for VIU MBA. I have a lot of work experience (since 2006) but I stated that I am currently an entrepreneur that just started my business. I have travel history to US, UK, Singapore, Thailand so I guess it helped.

Congrats

JUDICIAL REVIEW PROCESS


1. What is Judicial Review ?

Here is the standard explanation regarding the judicial review process.

It is very difficult to overturn a visa officer's decision in Federal Court with the judicial review process. This process is a 'judicial review' process, and not an 'appeal', and it is important to note that the vast majority of immigration cases do not succeed. Even if the judge disagrees with the decision of the visa officer, that is not enough to overturn the decision. There needs to be more than disagreeing with the outcome based on the merits.

The Federal Court process is as follows: There are sixty (60) days from the date of the reception of the refusal letter within which to commence the process when the refusal is from overseas, and thirty(30) days when the refusal is from inside Canada. This is the "application for leave and for judicial review".

Written reasons need to be received from the Respondent (the visa office). It can take a few weeks for the written reasons to arrive. After the written reasons arrive, the Applicant has 30 days from the receipt of the written reasons to provide both Affidavit evidence and written argumentation to the Court. Typically, the Affidavit is created within two weeks of the reception of the written decision, and received by the lawyer in pdf. The original is sent to the lawyer by regular mail for storage in the lawyer's file; the original Affidavit does not have to be received by the lawyer within the 30 day period.

Then, the Respondent (the visa office) has 30 days from to provide their Affidavit evidence and their written argumentation to the Court.
In some cases, the Respondent may decide to settle at this point.

After the Respondent has provided their Affidavit evidence and their written argumentation to the Court, the Court decides whether or not to hear the case.
The Court can take a few weeks or a few months to make this decision.
If the Court decides to hear the case, the Court "grants leave", and the matter is set for hearing, usually within the following four to six months.
(If the Court decides not to hear the case, the matter ends there)

Legal fees "application for leave and for judicial review" would cost $4000 including all disbursements, judicial stamp/court fees, photocopies, document binding, service of documents, etc. and inclusive of any HST if it is applicable, and is payable at the outset of the entire process by Visa, MasterCard by e-mailing or faxing the credit card number and expiry date, or by bank draft, money order, cheque.

If the Court decides to hear the case, the Court "grants leave", the parties may submit new affidavits, and the parties may be examined under oath based on their Affidavit. This is where the visa officer may be cross-examined, if necessary. The evidence including the transcript(s) of the examinations under oath is given to the court. Most cases that we do, do not involve examination under oath. The parties may also submit additional written argument. The Court will order the Respondent to submit a copy of the entire file to the Applicant and to the Court.

On the hearing date, only the lawyers attend the oral hearing. There are no witnesses, only Affidavits.
A decision comes usually within 30 days of the oral hearing.
If positive, the visa office usually takes 60 to 90 days to begin re-processing the file.


2. How much time does the entire process take?
It normally takes 9-10 months.

3. How much does the entire process cost?
A qualified Canadian attorney charges 3000-4000 Cad$, cost varies from case to case.

4. Does this fee include everything?
Yes, generally.

5. I am a Canadian citizen, Can I represent my case on own.
Yes (conditions applied).

6. Can every decision (FSW) be challenged in the FCC?
Yes.

7. What are the chances of grant of Judicial Review?
There is no guarantee of such thing.

8. Are there chances when the respondent refuses to fight the case?
Yes, when they find, that a material error has been made by them.
Eg. When a case has been refused on the ground that a particular document has not been submitted by the applicant whereas the document was indeed submitted.

9. I have heard Judges give high deference to the VO, is that right?
Absolutely, Judges can check standard of review, they can interfere if the law has been breached.
In simple words, if they find, VO has not followed the law while making the decision.

10. Can a Judge overturn the VO’s decision?
No , the judge can't do that, the Judge can ask another VO to re-assess the application.

11. Is Canadian judge fair in their judgement?
Absolutely, even a miniscule error done by the Visa Officer is caught.

12. My case is refused due to job duties mismatch, can I go for JR?
Well, you can, if you think there has been an injustice done to you, If you think you have been performing those duties and can prove them.

13. Are there some cases, which have been granted JR on JD? Yes .

14. When there are strong chances of me, winning the case?
Well, when you can prove there has been a mistake committed by the VO or a breach of procedural fairness has been done.

15. I have been made inadmissible under 40 (1) (a) as per IRPA?
It needs a great standard of Procedural Fairness before imposing 40 (1) (a).
(The definition has separately written, will be available soon.)

16. Can I claim for the costs or damages?
Well, you can but costs are hardly awarded.


Cheers!!

Thanks you so much
I really appreciate
