adexcube: All these canadian universities are really giving you guys some hectic work to do to get an admission. Am going to a flight school in Canada, I did everything through email--scanned all my certificates and did not even pay a dyme and I got my acceptance letter in jst one week. God bless our hustle. We will all meet in Canada IJN.

I believe its because flight school are much more expensive and have lower amounts of candidates because of the nature of the profession. Goodluck with your TRV smiley

earthgreeners:

You have a point, just that it doesnt work that way.. Infact, some schools will not accept ur money until CDHC ask you to do so....Besides, CDHC stated clearly that payment of tuition is at your own risk.....

If the school ask u to pay tuition before u get acceptance letter, In dat case u gat no choice...

Yes oo and my school asked me to [b]pay in full [/b]before letter of acceptance could be issued.. Had to pay about 7300 dollars ...thereabout to get my admissions letter... I think they should ease things up a bit and make some clarification in that regard. Some of us had to pay in full before we could get the required documents to apply for study permit... Plus I shall be entering three months since I applied by next week.. Na wa oo.. Even with the fact that some of us still have other travel plans prior to school ... We cant even book our tickets.. Lets just pray after all this delay, we shall be answered favourably...

Always state the truth in your applications. The worst that can be happen is rejection and/or reapplocation. Moreover we all should trust God that our success is not tied to a location.. Canads.. UK or Nigeria. We shall succeed with hardwork and God.. cheers everybody. Remember to be honest in all your dealings! wink

Hi Y'all.. I guess we should just chill on the hypertracking that we have all been doing .. that is those of us that have applied.. I read this info from the cic site "http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/temp/students.asp"

The tables below indicate application processing times at Canadian visa offices outside Canada. The times are based on how long it took to process 80 percent of all cases between July 1, 2011, and June 30, 2012. Processing times are subject to change.

Africa and Middle East
Asia and Pacific
Europe
Americas

Last update: August 20, 2012

Africa and Middle East Visa Office

Processing Times IN WEEKS(based on a complete application package)

earthgreeners: Enough of dis PFL thing, if u wanna advertise plz kindly do that in private, This thread doesnt support 'agency adverts'..
*DO IT YOURSELF* or go off the thread.......

I was not advising.... just gave someone the best bet for obtaining admissions based on his grade ... a 3rd class.. I know how difficult and how much my brother wasted in getting admissions in paying application fees to four different schools based on d 3rd class grade as schools wont tell u outcome of application pending application and was just trying to give him the easiest way... or rather the best way to sort the issue without losing money. You do not have to be rude.. we all joined this thread to learn from each other. If you do not learn from a post or you are upset about a post, you can privately mail the individusl and not publicly castigate. Thank you.

ferdiii:

Does PFL cover US schools? I would like to know more of them. If there will be a huge difference, why not.

Yes they handle US.. UK and Canada admissions.. pls note that they secure admissions quite alright and give you excellent visa guidance but issuance of visa is based only on the documents you provide to the embassy and how you present your case, ties to Nigeria, etc

LoveKing: can anyone help me with info on PGD programs in canadian universities? 3rd class in elect eng. any chance? what universities should i check to begin with?

My advice.... A 3rd class doesnt mean there are no chances... Its going to be tough getting admissions on your own so the best bet is to use a recognised agency like PFL. The reason I said so is because in applying to different schools they will insist on you paying application fees of about 100 dollars before they tell you they can grant you admissions or not and I can bet you will try about 3 to 4 schools before you finally get in. and thats a lot of money already being spent. Best bet, use PFL (Preparation for Life), they will charge you an application fee (dont know how much it is now cos I used them during a promo period last year to secure my admissions)... They will send your application to various schools and the schools will get back to them on whether they can admit you without you having to pay any amount. Note that they will send your documents to different schools in your budget and they will worry about admissions for you... You can and will be admitted this way

AugustApplicant:

Well so that some persons will not be misguided, have got two friends and one a sister who paid tuition before submission and they have their TRV. So am talking from what I have seen not just told besides all the major international study agency recommends it. I personally was at PFL and was told to do so and have certain amount (wont say) in my account if I am sponsoring myself. Well in my case I am self sponsored and I had the money to pay.

The form states: fees is not required at the time of application submission. After positive processing of the studet application, proof of tuition payment may be required prior to visa issuance.
Now the point is with all these embassy delay games, do yourself and them a favour by paying the tuition if you have it. Afterall you wont be denied simply because you payed a tuition when all the other supporting documents are positive. If you dont want to pay it at time of submission fine. But eventually you will pay it time of medical. It is not over-syllabus o

Yeah... I used PFL and that was the advise I got or instruction from them rather... I paid tuition in full... Plus it was even required by the school for me to make payment before my original admissions letter (not the scanned copy), which was I needed to take to the VAC was sent to me via courier..

Obamacare: This was shared sometime ago. I am reposting it so those who didnt see it can see it and learn a thing or two. Seem below

I've got an advice for everyone with pending application with CDHC. Once you have completed your application forms and added complementing documents please try to submit at the VAC (Visa Application Centre). I support submission at the VAC because of the all-week access and ability to get information more readily. For those who have submitted more than 3 weeks, I suggest you make calls and also track your application. I submitted on March 20 and my Medical instruction was dated April 5. Yea, that fast! Unfortunately, I got to know 20 days after! In addition, I was given some conditions to fulfill by CDHC which i needed to meet before 30days! Hence, my advice. Submit at VAC for easy correspondence and start following up once your application is more than 2 weeks old. For medicals, remember you'll need about 5 passport photographs and like 28,000 naira. So, be prepared. Wish us all the best! My additional info was payment of all tuition upfront and letter from employer for PgD. Hope it helps.

5 passport and 28k noted About the tracking... is via the VAC site is enough or should we also send mails to the VAC Anyway, thanks for this...

Oya everybody sorry nah grin .. in other news its another week.. back to canadian immigration topics.. Was it right for me to have paid my tuition in full before applications were submitted. my sch.. thompson rivers didnt give me my final admissions letter until i paid in full... Hope the embassy doesnt see it as another thing... i however had about 4 million left in d account covering 2yr study expenses.. and included retirement funds.. payslips and land documents of my sponsor who happens to be my mum... so much come to mind of how better one could have put his applcation and this long wait period doesnt ease tins
