Please when exactly did you notice this change?did the eligibility and medical change at the same time or one after the other?

I noticed just yesterday evening, upon log in.
Yes, it changed at the same time, but u did upfront medicals, and as gurus have been saying passing an upfront medicals isn't visa guaranteed.

God, please I need your grace this time.

jnyuwa02:


What is your medical status reading after eligibility review started?

Medical passed sir.

I can't even sleep again.
God please, let me down not.

@goingforward, hwfr your application my Oga

Review of eligibility started, applied June 12, biometrics done June 22. Upfront medicals.

I haven't been this tensed in my life.

Goingforward and other June applicants.

Pls, I just logged in to my aacount now and saw 'we do not need your fingerprint'
When it was showing completed before.
Pls, are you guys getting the same thing?

makano:
Hello House. For those that applied online recentky, Please how much is the current application fee(Online). Thanks

Visa fee 150
Biometrics 85
235 CAD for VISA fee and biometrics

I'm June applicant ooo and nothing yet. Applied 12 June, biometrics done on the 22nd of June,

I read here on this page that application vetting starts counting after completion of biometrics, but I and a friend who apllied around mid - may had our biometrics done same day and the dude was refused some days ago.

Does this mean June applicants will soon start getting responses from the embassy?

makano:
Hello House, Please to those that applied through the online route, which embassy address did u put on your SOP/LOE/AFFIDAVIT OF SPONSORSHIP e.t.c. Is it that of Ghana, Kenya or Nigeria. Please its urgent. About submitting. Thanks

Mr Makano, do u know where your application will be treated?, I guess your answer is No
So, you address whatever you write to their Lagos address.
Even the bank references we do get is always addressed to their Lagos office.

Wazony:
Can see you applied in June,wow thats good if they were the ones that requested.

Pls, do you mean that you saw that he applied for permit in June?
Where did you see that pls...

Cuz I applied in June too sir

Oyo state government that doesn't have a functional valid email enquiries address?

Which kind of programme are you going for at Hannover?

It's masters sir, but I am to do the first semester of about three months in hannover and the second semester in another partner university in another country .

[quote author=Kishkosh post=68961817]@Marocruz @justwise and other gurus

Pls, my programme in Hannover is just BTW September 3 to December 20 and that's less than 3 months . And I'm to do my second semester in a partner university abroad .

My question is this , is it student permit I will apply for or just visitors visa .... considering the short duration of my course in Germany . Pls help me.

Cuz I am aware that Canada dont issue TRV (but another type of visa)for students going for courses of less than 6 months.

I would like to know if Germany have a similar thing


Someone pls answer me

Someone pls come to my rescue

MaroCruz:


What he's trying to say is, If you claim Abuja as your location, you should be consistent with it during your visa process, i.e your CV, prepaid courier envelope should be consistent with a valid Abuja address, as opposed to going for the visa interview with your docs bearing Lagos address

Thank you sir

dailydolar:
not true two of my friends got abuja for interview and their admission letter has Ibadan address so its not about your admission letter address but make sure you have verifiable abuja address and u should also use that for your motivation letter simple

Marocruz, pls, I don't understand this information above. when booking appointment, does one inlude motivation letter again ? I think it's on the day of interview that motivation letter comes in .

Pls, someone help with clarity on the issue of booking in Abuja and Lagos Pls. ...

MaroCruz:


Most times they don't reply to incorrect mails. You should request an acceptance letter from your school to use and pursue visa. If the acceptance letter doesn't carry a Lagos address, it'll be easier to book for Abuja appointment.

Thank you sir

joe10:


Very grateful for your response. Can you please clarify Bro/Sis... do you mean when i submit original documents they won't be returned?

I can not answer whether your docs can be returned or not. But you need to know that there are some documents that are original and are yours and as such u must not submit the original to the embassy . E.g. your original school certificates . Make photocopy of the certificate , notorise it if you so wish and submit the notorized copy .
However, docs like letter of introduction addressed to the embassy must be submitted as original cuz after all you can not submit letter addressed to Canadian embassy to US embassy . I stand to be corrected .Lemme know if u need further clarification

Winniewelsh:


What's the address on your Admission letter?

It's LAGOS address . But my admission letter has not even been sent . I was only sent a notification of admission via email

What options are available for me pls

joe10:
PLS FOR SOMEONE WHO WISHES TO USE PAPER ROUTE... DOES HE NEED TO SUBMIT ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS, COPIES OR NOTARISED COPIES. ALSO DO NOT KNOW ANY NOTARY OFFICE IN LAGOS. KINDLY ADVISE PLEASE.

If u have any document addressed to the Canadian embassy .you have to submit the original . And if you're submitting your SOA ,it is must be original too . But docs like your certificates and all (I'm sure you know the answer already )

As for notorization . You can notorise if you so wish. But even if u notorized a doc addressed to the embassy . You must submit the original cuz the doc is to the embassy and not for you . Docs like letter of introduction from workplace , reference letter from bank addressed to the embassy e.t.c

MaroCruz:


It actually has no effect since it's a first come, first serve booking system. So if you apply, you get the earliest available booking slot, with the exception of the Sept 20th slot which was allocated to others having been skipped before.

Normally, those booking for appointment with Abuja address get dates about 2 weeks away, unlike Lagos which you get dates 2-3 months away

Pls , how do u book for appointment with Abuja address ?

I'm to resume September 15 and I already booked with my printed email notification of admission, passport data page and finitiba account opening. I sent the mail to student@lago.diplo.de since Tuesday and I haven't gotten any response. Someone should pls make me understand

Fustinachichi:
My 1cent. ...when u are asking for visa interview date, tell them to give u the earliest possible date because u will like to attend the orientation....It worked for me, so try it

Boss , pls. I sent you PM

Good morning,

When a study programme is offered in German and English, does it mean that the same modules
are offered in both languages? I applied for MSc Economics and Management, did anybody else do?
These Leibniz Hannover people are confusing me again. I have just got a notification from two schools
this morning, that my application has been processed. Father Lord, I look unto you. Do it for me papa.

I applied to leibniz too and got my admission notification . But I'm to resume september 15 and I can not differ my admission . I have applied to the embassy for appointment, but I haven't gotten a response . What about you sir

ApostleNduBiz:
Hello My People,I received my approved TRV/stamped passport today at VFS office,Lekki,Lagos.

I've been a quiet follower of this thread.I stumbled on it after submitting my study permit application.I must confess some assertions made on this forum made me want to lose confidence in my application and made me leave my fate in the hands of Jehovah as my only Advocate.For instance,a member of this forum stated education loan cannot fly and while another member affirmed that Fixed Deposit Certificates as proof of funds is a no-no.

My Timeline
Paper application at VFS Lekki Lagos.... 18th April,2018
Linked my application online....5th May,2018
Medical Call....8th May,2018
Medical Done.... 9th May 2018
Medical updated as passed on my online account...18th May,2018
Contacted by my school (UBC) to give consent to confirm my acceptance and release my personal details(student number,date of birth,program,program start and end dates,etc) to CIC....8th June 2018....I consented immediately.
My online account started reading Account/Profile Updated..... 21st June 2018
Within minutes,my online account started reading 'New Message' (no longer Account/Profile Updated).... 21st June,2018
Yet and even uptil now my online account was and is still reading 'Your application is in progress','we are reviewing whether you meet eligibility requirements....We are processing your background check' (even after collecting my stamped passport...this shows the website is having issues).Even the 'new message' does not open for me to see the details.
Contacted by VFS to pick up my processed passport at Lekki.....25th June,2018
Visited VFS to pick up my approved TRV/Stamped passport.... 26th June,2018.

To all TRV hopefulls,it will end in praise.Keep on keeping on!!!Now i can sleep very well and plan ahead...What a big relief!!!

Baba nyjuwa2 I dey hail ooooooo

Madam ,

How are you and what''s up with your application

I don't wanna say that I regret using online route

But there's no doubt that the paper application seems faster with approvals and denials on both sides.

I hope something better can be done to improve on the processing time of online applications .

When the ones that applied April haven't even gotten an update , make me wey recently apply go sit down be that .

swisster:


i applied online already,am jst going for only biometric, do i still need to book a date for only biometric?

So , online applicant that got letter of invite for biometrics online will have to book at the visa centre again ?

MichyEhi:




it is online. I’ve gotten both the biometric and medical request and passed both.

Maybe you should mail them then . Since mailing them doesn't affect the outcome of one's application.
I know little sir .

MichyEhi:
Please help out, house.

Boss, was your application online route ? and have you gotten bio metrics request?

Asapant:
Evening all.. On the letter of recommendation. Must my referees use use the official logo of their institution and must there be a letterhead of the name of the office on the letter ?

Did your school/department ask for paper recommendation letter? (cuz it is usually by mail), if the answer is in affirmative, then the referees will have to write on letterhead, signed and sealed.
