Hello House,

LONG POST

@Jnyuwa02 @Mcobex @Frankrobbn1 and other house mates.....

Please find attached, a change in my profile.
Let me just break it down here for easy understanding after which i have questions to ask.
I just checked my account now and saw that "We do not need ur fingerprints" under the biometrics. And i have not done any biometrics for my re-application yet cos I just re-applied on the 28th of July. Buh meanwhile, I last applied on the 13th of September 2017 which was refused, and that is the date showing at the date of Biometrics Enrollment(as seen in the photo). Now my questions.
1. As stated earlier, I said I re-applied on the 28th of this month and I was debited 285CAD, which I think should not be, since they already have a record of my bio-metrics. So is there a way to let them know about this so I can be refunded for just the biometrics or something?
2. I have already booked an appointment for my biometrics for tommorow(I had already booked before going to my profile to see these changes), should I still go and do another biometrics or I should just ignore since my profile is saying they do not need my finger prints. Please I will really appreciate answers cos I do not knw what to do now.

Paying School fees before Visa application isnt necessary, as we have seen on this forum of peeps that got refused despite paying their full school fess, and some got approved. So its left to you. Buh showing your Sponsor's statement of account is very compulsory, you can also add yours as the applicant. Good luck
Shinner2010:
hello house, do I need to pay the school full tuition fee before applying for Visa or only need to show statement of account

Kishkosh:
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.

Hello house, am about re-applying buh there is something confusing me in one of the form that has the employment start date nd end date. In my last application, I left the end date blank since I was still gonna come back to my place of work after my studies. Buh when I got to VFS, the official that attended to me said nothing should be left blank, so I was made to fill another form putting an end date by force. Now my question. Won't this have an implication on my application or wont I be contradicting mysef by putting an employment end date, when actually I stated it boldly in my SOP that I will be coming back to my company to continue working. Please those of you that have gotten ur Visa, did u fill the employment end date? Ur response will be appreciated as I wanna re-apply soon.

This may be not be entirely true, we have seen peeps get approved within 2 weeks and peeps get refused after like 8-10 weeks..
Ratawu:
All things being equal, be expecting response from August.
If it is refusals, their decision is always between 3-4 weeks if submission date.
So be hopeful

Getting a Masters degree with 2:2 is possible if u have a lot of work experience on the course you intend studying. But in the absence of that, You can go for PGD/PGC.. People get TRV with PGD, so far you show ur intention to go study.
Horlamidei:
My close relative who's a Canadian citizen is willing to help me get to Canada and he suggests we will have it done through me coming there for masters. He gave me his white wife's graduated school name which is Memorial University (MUN) which is also close to his resident to check the school website for requirements and apply online first. The requirement states that masters is for people who made the total CGPA of at least 2.75 out of 4.0 which is a 2.1 here in nigeria but I graduated with 2.2 but I still applied with it despite my grade online and he's about paying 120$ for the online reg processing for admission. Please, is there any other Canada university that accepts 2.2 for masters or what do you suggest I do, please because he's ready and really really willing to help me?!

a mail for passport pickup without medicals? Look slike a refusal except he did an upfront medical examination then it can be an approval. But if he didnt do any upfront medicals, then it seems like a refusal. But just go to VFS and collect ur passport to confirm.
mimikoko:
good evening, my brother just got a mail that his passport is ready for pick up. He applied for student visa but he wasn't called for medicals. pls is medicals a pre-requisite for student visa approval?

Surprisingly, it was only my proof of fund pdf file that was above 4mb. All other files were not, even the one that contained my sop and all my docs. I made good use of my pages. 1 page might contain 2 or 3 docs, all titled seperately.

Meanwhile, i went online to compress the other file. I just googled how to compress pdf file. Something came up, i chose one of the links, and they showed me where to upload the file, i did and the site just compressed my file. I hope this helps.

Congrats.. please how were u able to compress all your documents to 4mb,cos am sure the size of all it documents is above 4mb..

My God has done it again oo! Very long post alert!!!

Thanks to all members of this prestigious platform, couldn't have done it better without you guys! @Frankrobbn1 thank you! @jnyuwa thanks for picking all my calls, you were of great help! @mcobex thank you!

Now my timeline guys;

Application submitted: May 29th
Biometrics done and completed: May 30th
I did an upfront medical ooo! Yet medical request gotten on June 29th.
That was where the tension began. My friend had the same issue, she sent an email to London office and got medical passed the next day. I sent mine, nothing happened! I had to send to accra, nairobi, turkey, dubai, lagos, even filled the webform...finally, on July 5th, medical exam passed! Till today, none of these offices has replied my email, I guess the right office just updated the info on my account.

Then today, July 9th: VISA APPROVED!!!
Docs submitted:
-All required IMM forms.
-Almost 2pages sop.
-letter of sponsorship (dad's letter was strong, he said he was keeping the promise he made to me cos I told him during my undergraduate studies o, dat if i made a first class, I would have my masters abroad).
-6month dad's SOA with 8M closing balance.
-reference letter from bank.
-1st academic year tuition fee receipt ($10,300cad).
-dad transferred 2.8M to my acct for living expenses, hence my SOA.
-dad's landed properties (I guess this was my home tie, said I will inherit one of the properties for the future establishment of *** in nigeria, as my long term goal upon return to my home country. Dad also said same in his letter, including that they are expecting my return upon completion of studies).
-dad's CAC docs for his business, i even uploaded a screenshot of the public search of the business name on CAC website, just incase.
-my nysc discharge cert. (April 2018)
-My waec cert
- parents and siblings birth certificate and mine.
- my CV
-transcript
- academic exellence cert showing graduation awards.
- ref letter saying i am a volunteer with ***
- my employment letter showing i am also volunteering with ***
- all my certificates of attendance to public health related conferences and programs (i just guessed this could let them know that i have been involved in the healthcare system in Nigeria).
- police clearance
Then prayer prayer prayer! I dont know of this helped buh I kinda had a good arrangement in my application. Each doc had the title written above it, to make for good recognition. Also this was an ONLINE application, you dont need an agent to do your thing, just grab the neccessary info and do it right!
Thank you once again guys! It will be your turn soon.

Hi Everyone,
Please I have a quick question. I applied for study permit last year, unfortunately got denied. Requested for gcms notes and reapplied in March. Got medical call and have done the medical in June. Is there any chance of denial? Also, my application status is on " we are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements? Should I be worried or let things be. Please share your experience, anyone??

I do not think this is true. All documents are sealed in a black transparent bag, and transfered to the respective procession offices. Buh if u have proofs to convince the house concerning this, it will be appreciated.
Ratawu:
Online route is better during the high season period. VFS does send all your docs to Nairobi or Ghana. What they do is to scan the basic docs to them leaving behind many vital docs that explain certain areas of application.

Good day guys... I notice something strange on my profile just now. I sent a message the immigration in Ghana, Kenya and Lagos to explain reasons for my delayed application ( Almost 10 weeks now) and why there is no update on my profile even though i did upfront medical. I just signed in now to see that my medical now reads "You passed the medical exam" but since inception background check still reads "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information".

I am confused now... Was it my message that prompted this? Can this be a good sign and should anticipate final decision soon or mere coincidence that it was updated today? My guy na different questions i just dey ask myself o. Me still dey pray sha
