Hi guys! Any update? The thread is getting cold. Can we try to share our timelines please? smiley
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by Markab: 2:42pm On Sep 26, 2017
In my rejection note, they wrote the supervisor didn't accept me. My program was MEng Civil Engineering. So since my admission refusal, I'd always advised anyone applying to UofM to ensure they contact supervisors even for course based master's programs before submitting their applications because it's my belief that A professor would not accept you that had not contacted him over who did contact him
OmalichaUC:
But I thought U of M offers admission based on the approval of supervisor. If your supervisor doesn't approve of you or is not available, the department will write to you. As a matter of fact, your supervisor will be the one to forward your name to Faculty of Graduate Studies for approval. Pls what course are you talking about here??
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by Markab: 6:40am On Sep 26, 2017
With your GPA, I think you should make use of Google as no one here can guarantee you a master’s admission with your cgpa. Personally, I would advise you try colleges, you stand a good chance. Alternatively, try and search your proposed program on www.universitystudy.ca then make list of Universities that offer the program, get their program coordinators' email and submit your enquiry. They would surely get back to you to ease your worries.

Please am still waiting for your response. Thank you!

You've got a good profile here. However, I once fell of victim of this your scenario, I applied to university of Manitoba stating a name of a supervisor while applying without contacting him. Lo and behold, I got rejected with reason of non acceptance by the proposed supervisor. Please contact him/her immediately.

Did you apply for a Course based or research master's degree? In either case, you must contact them, that's UofM for you. Mine was course based

Good evening all
Pls I applied to university of Manitoba, I have first class honors in human anatomy and ielts 7.0...
The application procedure just demanded I state a name of a supervisor which I did.
I don't know if I have to contact her cuz it wasn't stated there in the application guideline.
PS; I applied Anatomy and cell science.

Pls any advice on other Versities I can apply to in canada without application fee... The the thing is really preventing me from making multiple applications... I'm in dire need of your contributions. Thanks and kind regards to us all.

Welcome. Happy to help

It worked
Thank you smiley
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by Markab: 11:56am On Sep 25, 2017
When did you apply? Well, the common mistake we make while linking an application often occur when filling our Given names, it's written as Given Name while we are required to input our first Name and Middle name but we often fill in our first name (just 1 name). CIC ought have pluralised the name or better still written as Given Name (s). So please retry by filling in the your two names in the GIVEN NAME box while you retain your surname in the Family name box as required.

GoodLuck

Yes there is a remedy. My funding letter came out August 22, but I applied June 6th. I sent it through the case specific enquiry system and it was added toy file. If it is very important like u said, and u are not to comfortable mailing. Withdraw asap and reapply. But CSE and their email will be very sufficient I think. Cos CSE will added it to ur processed file anywere world wide. Just get to link your app on line first. Then send CSE with explanation to support it.

Dear all,

I often hear people say open work permit application (paper route) is processed in Lagos visa office, is it okay to contact Lagos immigration email for any enquiry as regards such application?.

Thank you.

Dear all, after submission of application at VFS, and you discover you omit one very vital document like 24hrs later, bearing in mind that you mentioned the said document in your SOP as attachment, is there a remedy? Let's discuss!

Paper route is faster than online route.

You can confirm it from Canada study permit thread.

@ Markab I hope your wife has settled in Canada.
It will surely end in praise.
TravelRe: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Markab: 6:15pm On Sep 17, 2017
What about speed of processing?[ huhquote author=petlaz post=60553841]
Paper route is better than online route. Why..
1.application fee and biometric fee is cheaper compare to that of the online route.
2. You can submit alot of documents as many as you want.
3. During submission, your visa application documents will be preview at VAC office before submission.
4. The visa application documents is assigned to the VO at Accra, Ghana for processing immediately is dispatch at VAC office but in online route, it can be assigned and processed at different embassy across the world.[/quote]

In my opinion, I think an equivalent of $6000CAD is OK.
Bear in mind that 1 CAD is equivalent to 297naira currently. If you can get the money in your account,
Better for you

Dear all, please how much does vfs charge for Open work permit application?

Thank you.
TravelRe: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Markab: 9:03am On Sep 10, 2017
I will advise you call vfs to confirm the status of your passport. It's very crazy reaching them, but do not worry,
You will get to speak with them after many trials. But I think your passport should be ready by now since it's more than 2weeks it was dispatched.
Aaaziz:

1, Is it advisable to go to vfs and check?
2, What's the possibility of medical request while passport has been dispached without request of medical?
Please i nees your experience info to calm my nave thanks

Good morning family,

To those that have notarized documents, did you give copies to notary public for record purpose? my notary public is asking for photocopies of the certified true copies.

Secondly, Does vfs accept colored copies of other documents apart from admission letter?

Thanks all in anticipation for a quick response.

TravelRe: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Markab: 4:25pm On Sep 02, 2017
Ok boss. I personally need your thorough clarification on red flag 1 cos I'm in that shoes presently. I will send you a pm

Toluwaase:
I have been busy lately. I will briefly discuss the 'red flags' that were identified even by the immigration consultant that I consulted. I thought we were not ready for the application considering the consultant's concerns, my wife encouraged us to apply. By the way, I am the student in Canada.
No 1 red flag:Fund- the consultant specifically asked us to gather 17,000 CAD as proof of fund, we were able to raise only 10,000CAD. Though we articulated my scholarship (full funding), 3 health insurance my family is qualified to use and my yearly income in Canada. All these, backed up with proof, I think except one insurance policy I could not locate a print out for.
Red flag 2. My Wife's Job: My wife is not currently working, so the consultant was really concerned about that. Her job could serve as home tie, but we articulated the fact that I am on study leave at my workplace in Nigeria, and I am expected to go back with my family and resume after my program in Canada.

I will give more info later. I am kind of busy now.

But we prayed and I know some people pray for us. God hears and answers prayers.
