Hello my people pls save a soul

My parents believes so much in agents that any contrary advise would be shoved off.

Now to the present issue, there is this agent they approached to process Canada study visa for my sis. She truly applied and letter of admission was sent from the Uni. They asked us to pay some amounts and we’ve paid infact so far it’s close to 3m.

Now this agent has directed us to go and get police report and medical fitness certificate at any Federal Hospital. But, I sense something is wrong, the whole process seems to be different from what I’m reading here. House please kindly help out before more harms is done.

My question are?
Is it true that we must get a medical fitness certificate even before applying?

He promised to help us out with statement of account do you think that is not a red flag?

The hospital is asking us to pay 50k for covid19 test amid other tests that I can’t even remember now.

Please I need your advise.
Hmmm.... Since ur parents believe so much in agents, it might be hard to change their mind with mere talk cos they feel someone whose not an agent won't make any sense & I understand they don't want efforts to be in vain that's why they feel an agent is the best option for this.

To ur questions,
1) That's not true

2) There is high chances it will raise a red flag, cos the statement of Account is likely not going to be from either your mum, dad or elder sibling,
Cos the best person to be ur sponsor is either ur Mum, Dad or Sibling

3) It's not true

If this questions are based on what the agent said, this is not LEGIT AT ALL

My Own Suggestion,
1) Go to YouTube & search for this exact Video
HOW TO APPLY FOR A CANADIAN STUDENT VISA IN NIGERIA + TIPS, if possible convert it to MP4 or MKV and download it.

This is a Canada Study Visa Application experience from a NIGERIAN, now in CANADA

Find attached the screenshot below of the Video below.

Let your parents watch it from the beginning to the end, am sure that after watching this video, they should possibly look at things in another perspective

2) Also show your parents the IRCC website for Canada Study Visa for more information.


All da best

Congrats to everyone that have AIP. As evident in response uploaded here, some Schools have warned candidates to defer until they get their visa or they will not refund if otherwise. This support my previous suggestions based on my knowledge and experience on Nairaland and in Nigeria and Canada.

This is a new game style from IRCC and no one can predict how it will fully end. The only thing we can do is to learn from current candidates experience. While we wait to learn from you, we don’t want you to loose money. Owo oniru and owo oniyo something. Before the story turns to Nkan Mbe ft Ide Esu.

Except you are funded by your proposed school, starting online class without full approval is a financial and emotional risk. Before you do it, ask yourself if you can afford to loose the money. If your mind say no, please don’t start your class without full approval.

It not that we don’t want you to celebrate. We just want you to be wise in your next decision. The court battle is not for the weak or poor. It is best to pause online classes till we understand the new style. Na some people experience we go take learn am, but let it be those that can afford the risk.

IRCC is known for pulling some negative tricks on study permit applicants, particularly those from Nigeria. No one can predict the end until the end. Watch your cards and play it right.

It will end with praises. All the best!
True Talk & Very Factual

In a Scenerio like this,

An Applicant Got this mail from the international dept. Of his school based on the mail he sent to them.

Note : Tuition Paid for Fall 2020 Program, No Online Class (Strictly In-person Class), Gotten AIP, Programs Starts Early September

Hello,

Hope this note finds you well!

If I am understanding your situation correctly –

- You have applied for a prog. which is NOT offered in January 2021 ( next intake available for Fall 2021 only)

- You have applied for the Visa but have not received a decision yet

- The program has lab component so you cannot start from overseas and need to be in Canada to start your program


In this situation there are three things you can do –
-Wait for your visa decision and then see if the Government makes any changes to travel restrictions for those students who receive their visas after March 18

- Based on if and when the Government announces changes, you may then think about applying to another January program

- Request a refund


We would suggest wait for your Visa Decision before making any decision.

Regards


In this situation what would likely be the best option to choose?

Though the Applicant is looking at REQUSTING A REFUND

You can do a mobile transfer and print the receipt or proof of payment. That's what many people do. If you have a Standard Chartered Bank near you and you are willing to go through that stress, you can visit the bank then.
Thanks,
I understand u quite alright, I don't intend to go to the bank,
but what's the essence of the SWIFT CODE/BIC in their account details, or am only Concerned with the Account Number & Bank Name?

4. Please do well to go there with proof of payment of medical fees. I did not print my transfer slip and that caused a little delay for me. The officer wanted to send me out to print it but I had to practically force him to print it with the printer in the office. This method may not work for everyone so please go there with the print out of your transfer. Also try to do the transfer two days before your appointment date. It'll make confirmation easy for you. In my case, the officer wrote "Pending" on my progress slip because they were yet to confirm transfer. Save yourself that hurdle.
@rebeccausoro

Can i do a Mobile Bank payment to the Bank then Print the Screenshot of the payment as a Proof Of Payment
or
its compulsory I go to the required bank to do the payment,

cos I saw in the IOM Account Payment Details, a SWIFT CODE/BIC which am not sure there is a column for that on a Mobile Banking APP.

Thanks..

1. I used their website and it worked fine for me. - https://mymedical.iom.int/apps/omas/
2. Just your passport. However, if you currently have a medical condition, go with your report and prescription.
3. If it is medical request, they won't give you anything to upload. If upfront, you will get a slip to upload.


Further advice: Go early. Book for 8am. Drink plenty of water before the medical screening. Relax. It takes approximately 2 hours 30 minutes. If you are healthy, you will be fine.
Thanks so much for the detailed information

Well-Appreciated!!!!!

Hello everyone, good morning.

I'm trying to submit my SP application online. I tried like 2 cards, it kept declining my payment.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Please I need your assistance.

Thanks
I had same challenge when I wanted to submit mine,
I tried Polaris , Zenith, first bank ATM card (all MasterCard) was not working,(Transaction Declined)

So I tried someone's ECOBANK ATM Card (MasterCard), and Transaction was successful,

A member in this forum also had same same challenge. So it was his sister's STANBIC Bank ATM CARD (Master Card) that worked.

Also Try other Bank's ATM CARD

And make sure there is Sufficient amount of money there (at least #75k)

Austacus:
Bro, do upfront biko so you know all you have left is biometric. Your application is approved in principle, meaning you've meet the eligibility requirements, what you have left is background checks and medical.
Your background checks cannot be completed without your biometrics, for your eligibility to be finalized, your background checks needs to come in.

So in your eligibility review you have 4 questions left out of 12 questions. Your 4 questions are upon background checks and medical.

Question 9-12

9. Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offence? 

10. Do you suffer from a serious medical condition?

11. Have you ever been refused a temporary resident visa to travel to Canada? 

12. Were you ever removed from Canada or any other country?

Your approval is perfected. Amen
Wow, God Bless U for the breakdown

Information fully digested

Thanks so much

And to the prayer Amen!!!!!!!

Nwannem Lekiboboe well deserved. CONGRATULATIONS!
I've had a strong belief you would get your visa, so happy for the outcome. Meanwhile, you should book your medical upon 2 weeks to a month.

If you're waiting and wailing for your approval, trust me, in the end, the wait is worth it. Canada is a good country.

A Streak of good luck to all TRV hopefuls.
Thanks so much Di Nsopuru Austacus cheesy,
Your contributions and response in this forum is well appreciated

Okay tnx for the directive.
Do u advice I book for Medicals (Upfront) even though I haven't gotten a request for it?
Or
I should wait till I get the medical request?

(Though background check and eligibility review still showing)

As regards ur second to the last paragraph. It's nothing but the truth
