Kishkosh:
Just when I thought I have been over delayed enough.

It's cuz of lack of information/exposure that has made one not to see a squirrel with a hunch back. If one is exposed enough, one will find a hunter that uses cap to kill a mighty elephant.

Na wa for these visa officers oooo

makano:
Bro dont say that oo, some peeps would have gotten rejected, but cant come up here cos of their current state of mind. But we still thank God for these Approvals.. Congrats to all Approved applicants.. We, the remaining/awaiting ones shall also testify.. Peace

COPR:
The validity of his passport determines the length of his visa. Let me rephrase, if his passport has one month validity, CIC will issue one month visa for him.

And when he applies for renewal at NIS, he will be issued a new passport and NIS will render the old one invalid.

Do you get the point now? The decision is his to make.

042viber12:
1st even if u have a visa or master card, can your card pay the huge amount at a go...your card has limits unless u can pay 2-3mil at a go..if u have any one trustworthy in Canada u can pay the fees to and den pays the equivalent for u...that's what I did back wen I applied

makano:
Yea, I made that statement which is very true, but still there are people on this thread who have applied since may and havnt gotten response.. I still saw someone complaining some days back on this forum of he/she not getting updates despite applying since May/June. The House is tensed, But it shall end in praise las las.. Peace

makano:
Ok Noted. But why the delay in student permit applications in Nigeria? As we are aware, some peeps on this thread have applied since may/June, and they havnt gotten either an approval or a refusal.. So I believe it indirectly affects Nigerians..

makano:
It was not specified, so it applies to both Paper and online...

Success2019:
Hello guys ,
Please help me review my gcms notes I need you guys opinion on it
Thanks.

Doyenrey:
Hello,
I am in your shoes too lol
What program?
Honestly, I don't know what to do

henricson:
Thanks bro. I'm surprised gtb has a limit.

henricson:
Please can someone help out with this online visa payment?

jnyuwa02:
Nothing, 5 more days to resumption. I have sent two emails to London and Lagos this morning highlighting them of the urgency of the situation. I stay expectant. Thanks for checking in.

jnyuwa02:
The statement written on the form that he can reapply, actually means he can reapply anytime, not 5 years like you stipulated. He really can apply anytime he chooses if he feels he can over effective rebutall to the misrepresentation. But the chances are not easy to overcome it.

Frankrobbn1:
An immigration lawyer will always advice you to reapply and by so doing, the deputy high commission will decline the applicant. What beats me the most is someone came here saying that ban can be overturned after a procedural fairness letter has being served to the applicant. I wonder where this moniker got this information. Well, I will take it as sleep of tongue or a maybe a typo.

The applicant is certainly free to reapply, but he should return here to tell us about his scores.

Frankrobbn1:
Bans can be overturned after serving an applicant a procedural fairness letter? Let's be realistic here. How many have you seen that was overturned?

Frankrobbn1:
Who told you he wasn't served a procedural fairness letter to explain himself prior the ban? Please let's stop giving people high hopes here, the young man was given a 5 years ban and I don't think he can do anything to avert it.

Ratawu:
DONT OVERWORK YOURSELF WITH TJIS YOUR OUTBURST. I NOT ASKING YOU OR ANYBODY TO TAKE WHAT I AM POSTING. I CAN GIVE AN ADVICE, IT IS YOUR CHOICE TO BELIEVE IT OR NOT. YOU ARE NOT UNDER ANY OBLIGATION TO TAKE OR USE A WORD FROM ME. ON YOUR ARROGANT CALL THAT O SHOULD BE BANNED, WELL, I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE.

uyplus:
You are saying nonsense and the moderator of this thread should block you from dishing out wrong information! How and why will VFS drop an applicant's documents via paper route when the bag that is issued with your documents is sealed and handed to the applicant to submit at a different section of the VFS office? If VFS takes out people's documents, they will have been sued long before now! VFS is simply an outsourcing firm that handles visa application submissions, and transmits those documents to the Embassy! I have gone through the paper route twice and not a single document was dropped! Who are you that we need to know on this thread? Are you a Visa officer? Even your application can be rejected! Who even told you that the VO's at Nairobi are Indian-Canadians? Do you know any of them? Have you met any one of them? For your information I also follow an Indian thread like this and they equally have countless stories of rejections too!

There are better informed folks on this thread like frankrobbn, jnywua, mcobex etc, and when either of these folks make mistakes in the information that they pass, they admit it! Don't come here to misguide people by sharing "hear say", information!

Naijaforeigner:
For you to know how bad it is, I monitor on my phone and laptop. It s well.

Frankrobbn1:
MeinKampf,

So far, How many online applications have you seen that was processed at Abu Dhabi and Ankara? Nobody is playing a guess work here. The simple fact remains that most online applications I have seen are currently processed in London, minority goes for Lagos. It was at the beginning of this year when some applications were treated at Turkey and Dubai not anymore.

jnyuwa02:
Sometimes the online profile updates has a mind of its own and change arbitrarily or not change at all when it suppose to change. If I were to take a good guess though, your review of eligibility started and It was forwarded to a VO who decided they needed to vet something else further before he/she can make a decision. So your file returned to the vetting department.

Frankrobbn1:
Online application! Send it to Lagos and London visa offices. These are the offices in charge of online applications.

All the best!

Ratawu:
Where was your application processed?

mcobex:
1. A letter of support from the company stating they are sponsoring you and the amount they will be committing towards it. they should also state of you will be promoted on your return or the post you will take up (not too important but I will advise they say it)
2. Statement of account from the company
3. Leave letter for the duration of your program
Then on your part, include your employment letter, payslip, ID, your own statement of account (not too important in this case since your company will cover all expenses but I will strongly advise you include it even if the money in it is small)

u no sabi Nairobi people. Them be prayer point o

Shizzleadedapo:
Hi guys,I have been a silent reader for a while, I need clarification from the elders. The SOA off sponsor I submitted was my dads but he had just 5m as closbig balance when I submitted it, with inflow of over 30m. I also submitted his new company account with inflow of 10m but closing balance of 4K. Currently he has almost 7m in the Account that has a closing balance of 4K but someone said they wouldn’t check the balance just the statement I submitted and I am really bothered as they might consider as insufficient funds. Just want to know if the current balance during background check will be confirmed again.Thanks

Ratawu:
Is a fun of the forum. The fact is that they are doing their job

NAIROBI PEOPLE DON COME AGAIN O WITH THEIR REFUSALS

ify85:
Hello guys I sincerely think we should stop misleading people on this platform. If you don't know the reason for the Biometric update today and you don't believe the attachment from CIC website then keep quiet and accept it as general update.

Ratawu:
Update of completed to we do not need your fingerprint means that your actual background check just started. U still have a long way in your application
