I have been a silent follower of this thread and I want to share my testimony to the Glory of God. It is quite a long one.

My first application was on the 3rd of June 2016. The application was refused 7+ week later (July 25th)
Documents submitted:
CIC forms
New Passport data page
Photograph
Letter of Acceptance
My mum's statement of account
My domiciliary account statement Mum's proof of businesses and landed properties.

I submitted a few documents because I didn't think the supplementary documents like my transcripts, degree certificate, sop, police certificate and so on were necessary.

I was heartbroken when I got a refusal letter and I wasn't planning to apply again because I even wondered if it was God's will for me or not. I told my course supervisor and he encouraged me to apply again.

So I decided to put in another application but this time I made a decision to start the whole process with God - I prayed for his will and asked for his help at every stage of the process (before and after my application). I applied for Form A — which had just been reopened at the time — to pay my tuition fees, and even though the people at the bank told me there was a queue so they could not guarantee that it will be processed in a month but in less than 2 weeks, the money was sent to the school. God helped me secure an accommodation even without prior payment ( for almost four months now i.e since October last year).

I gathered all the necessary documents and finally submitted online on the 18th of October
Medical mail came in January 17
I don't know the exact date my medical status changed to passed but I saw it when I logged in to my account on the 27th of January
Passport request mail: Feb. 2nd
Passport collected: Feb. 9th

Documents submitted:
CIC Forms
New passport data page
Visa pages and stamps on my old passports
Birth certificate
LoA
Degree certificate and transcripts
Other certifications
NYSC certificate
Tuition fee receipt
Scholarship Letter (partial scholarship)
Accommodation confirmation letter (When my application was 13 weeks and I still hadn't gotten a response from the embassy, I sent a mail to my homestay host telling her to rent out the room she reserved for me but I was convinced that God was involved when she responded saying that I shouldn't worry, that the room will be available for me whenever I get the visa. I'd like to note that nobody keeps a room/house for you without prior payment, at least none that I have seen or heard of)
Sponsorship letter from my mum
Affidavit of sponsorship from my mum and dad
Mum's statement of account
My domiciliary account statement
My dad's pension payment statement
Proof of businesses and properties

Lastly, I was constantly praying in faith.

Key point - Always put God first in whatever it is you might be doing, no matter how trivial it seems and secondly have faith in him. Jesus said in Mark 11:24 - whatsoever you desire, when you pray believe that you have received them and you shall have them. And remember that the word of God also says that without Faith, don't expect to receive from God. Although, the wait was very very long but my FATHER saw me through.

I appreciate everyone contributing and helping people on this thread. May God Almighty reward your labour of love and for those still waiting for their visas and looking up to God for help, I pray that he will perfect all that concerns you.

Thank you all!
