NaD720:

Lol, As I did today. I entered bus straight to Lekki, on getting there, I was told Canada did not open today. Due to one stupid holiday which I didn't hear or or couldn't find on the internet. I was in traffic for nearly 2 hours and I was very pissed on hearing the news. Anyway's Is there holiday tomorrow? I know on Wednesday is July 1, Canada Day, So no need of going there. What about IOM? Would they be open on Wednesday Does anybody have an idea?

IOM opens monday-friday except on Nigerian public holidays it has nothing to do with Canadian Holiday

Zattiezat:

In my case i had just 2.3 raw cash , but the other finance 8m was in fixed deposit and 2m in shares.
Think fixed deposit seems more liquid.
And my sponsor said 4m was avail to me.

in my case my sponsor had 2M raw cash and fixed deposit 3M but am the only dependant.

I did my medicals on Wednesday 24th at IOM ikeja 3 working days now.. how long does it take CIC to process the result.. haven't heard anything till now worried kinda

DPizzy:
Though av commented couple of times, I used to be an avid observer here...To God be the Glory, medical mail just drop few minutes ago. Here is the timeline of my application: Submission: May 6 Biometrics : May 8 Words can't express how grateful I am to evr1 who has contributed in one way or the other to this success. Special thanks to Anugoson (who vetted d Superlative SOP), Chrigo (who did an explicit review of my shortlisted school while seeking for funding), Oga Siga (while filling my app form, because I was worried my brother residing in Canada could be a major red flag to proven that am not intending immigrant), Tolyem (for his help in collection of police clearance and as well guiding me thru Lagos roads, as am not too conversant wit Lagos roads), Amefrica (for sending me samples of SOP). My regards to my pals here: Brandymcmb (ur gud news is loading), Ade bimpe, Twayz et Al...And to all Medical and Trv hopeful; may grant our heart desires. If you are heading to MUN, pls kindly signify #TeamMunites

congrats bro..

Team12:
Hi all,

I just thought to say this on the floor of the house. So people can learn while drafting their SOPs.

I have noticed that people try to paint Nigeria as a lesser country than Canada, by stating that Nigeria has a poor standard of living and education, the country is this and that, bla, bla, bla.

Please even though we all know the state of things in Nigeria, it is not wise to state it in your SOP. It is fine to paint Canada as the best place to study and all the good stuff as a reason for your choice, but leave it at that. We all know that Nigeria has issues and the VOs know it. But don't let it come from you.

Most times we wonder why some of us are denied because of "Home tie", but it might be more than having assets or a family back in Nigeria, your perception about your country matters a lot. Westerners love PATRIOTISM to the core!

If I were a VO, and you tell me bad things about your country in your SOP, I will deny you based on home tie, even though you have assets and family, because as far as I am concerned, why will you want to come back to a country that you think is poor in everything??

My advice is, when stating the reasons for choosing Canada just stop at raining down praises on Canada's economy and standard of education. NEVER say ill about Nigeria....

@team12 pls tell us the truth you are a VO

me I didn't even include SOP and I got medical mail

I think am changing my name to Team10

Edoblakky:
5 days or 5 working days? I did mine on the 25th June at Q Life Hospital in VI. I'm expecting to see a good result this coming week.

did mine on the 24th at IOM Ikeja

aretheytheron:
Page 100, New week.... Lemme be the first to bring good news to the house. MEDICAL PASSED, waiting for pp reques..

congrats... how many days did it take to process ur medicals from the day u did it?

AriseOCompatrot:


Your school can issue you as many transcripts as you want but you'll have to pay for each one of them. A couple of Canadian schools (especially the older, more established ones) accept soft copy of transcripts. So, what you can do is get one official copy of your transcript for yourself, scan it and use to apply to schools which accept this method. When you get admission from a school of your choice, they will still request for the hardcopy, which you can then request your school to send to them. I know Carleton and University of Victoria accept softcopy transcripts. Also Centennial College

Seneca, Fanshawe, and Niagara also accept soft copies

SeraSera:
Thanks @Team12 @kennykentipsy @Chars1289 et al. Just got the update: medical passed.

congrats maple land awaits

Chars1289:

dont scare a broda naa..Tim12 has already given him a break down of how consultant practice work.
But for peeps awaiting medic.wen u get it use IOM.Team12's account abt dem is so true.

read my comment well... I said he should only be worried if he's called back for further test since ..he wasn't no cause for alarm

nattie5:

Thanks for your response, I have seen the page but it didn't answer my question. The options there seem to be on-campus hostels. I need options where I can stay with my child(a toddler).

look on to www.kijiji.ca u will get any kind of accommodation you want along with their rents

Team12:
It takes 5 working days for Consultant practice to send your results to cic. IOM on the other hand sends in 48 hours. For those who want to do medicals for their kids below 5 years, the exam in IOM takes few minutes and it's only 15k . It's only physical exam that is done, and your kid's result is sent to cic immediately (it might even be before you step into your car ).

With what I experienced with my daughter's medicals, IOM is the way. I went all the way from the Island to Ikeja, but it was worth it. More space, more friendly and professional staff and quick turn around time!

The female doctor that did my physical examination at iom said she will send my results immediately. ➕ she's friendly

SeraSera:
Hi guys. Please for those who've done medicals, how long did it take before your cic status became updated? I had my medicals done at Consultants Practice on Tuesday and I'm still awaiting an update on my account. Should I be worried?

i did mine at iom on Wednesday.. u should only be worried if the hospital calls u back for further test

nattie5:
Hello everyone, I've learnt a lot from discussions here.

I am applying to UOIT for January 2016 session. I will be going with my toddler she'll be 2yrs by then. I hope to use the child care center within the institution for her care during my schools hours.

I am still worried about getting a decent affordable accommodation for both of us. I read of Family stay or something as an accommodation option but don't really understand what it is. Please I need elaboration.

Secondly, hubby and I applied for FSW December last year, if it goes through, will I get any child support stipend?

family stay better known as home stay it a process whereby u live with a family at an agreed rent. but u don't need that cos u grown and u married u can get decent accommodation for 500-600 CAD a month for u and ur daughter .

Giov:

No one wants to respond to my question ehn? Isorrait!

it possible some schools give u 3 program choices i.e First choice second choice third Choice ..schools like seneca, centennial niagara are examples
