Riddeek:
Good day guys!
Though i know your opinions do not reflect the direct opinions of the VOs but help me address this issue of funds.
Is the VO concerned only with the tuition fees + 10000CAD or does scholarship from the institution count too?
For example, if my tuition is 15k CAD per yr, and i get a scholarship from the sch around 20kCAD per yr, which means i have 5k extra... Can i then have a balance of 7k CAD in my account, since 7+5 = 12kCAD which is sufficient for a yr?
Or the VO is not bothered about the scholarship/bursary and i must show funds for my 15k tuition + 10k living expense = 25kCAD for a year

Abeg make una help me torchlight this matter

You can use d scholarship as ur source of fund and its acceptable. 12cad is sufficient with the scenario you put above. But apart from 10k cad for living expenses budget for like extra 3 to 5k cad for other expenses.

From my personal deductions and testimonies given by PGC(D) applicants here which i v witnessed is, online application (which is mostly not processed in Accra) favors them when the needful are done.

Those guys are not predictable. Even sometimes when the needfuls are not done, luck or favour might work. I can never imagine someone getting trv with less than a million naira when someone with more than five million naira is being denied. Maybe na because hin papa na serving commissioner. Its well.

Happy Sunday guys.

Its our week.

Divina4:
I haven't been on here in a while now and just when I stopped worrying about my trv and started making other plans In life my trv got approved today. Here's my timeline
Applied (paper route): August 11th
Biometrics: August 11th
Called for medicals: September 15th
Medicals done: September 19th
Used the schools agent so I don't know the date i passed medicals.
Approval mail: November 3rd.

I don't know why I'm not excited. Lol.

Congratulations madam. I'm excited on ur behalf. Its a good news for August applicants.

toucheli:
wow, it's a whole different username anyways, was just passing by and thought to share that the university of Manitoba, Winnipeg MB Canada are on strike apparently.

First time of hearing that. So those universities over there also go on strike. What caused d strike? Hope they resolve it soon. Thanks for passing by.

Folaroyal:
I am beginning to think that cic (Accra) have exhausted their slots for Nigeria for the year!... or what else can inform their hold on almost every applications.... no much correspondence nd no releases! ... i hope its for good though..... When they are in such situations 'which most people don't realise happen after all' they will only usually respond to critical demands. I think the foreign affairs minister just spoke on Monday about annual quota anyways.... it is well... just my thoughts!!!
Contributions pls?

I don't believe that. This is not new about Canada. We are yet to experience what fall applicants experienced. We all know that d average processing time is 16 weeks.
Even if they have quota for Nigerians, they have not exhausted it coz of the PGD/PGC massive delay in fall. We just need to hope for the best.

CannyZionist:


@metrecube, the thing tire me too. In less than ten days medical mails are flying. I hope decision making comes fast as well. I really don't understand why an embassy will hold application for 10weeks and counting. sometimes I do ask myself what exactly they are checking/verifying that is taking forever to do.

All thesame, goodluck to all TRV hopefuls...it will end well

It is well Bro, CIC changes their pattern almost everyday. In late July to September, approval follows medical passed immediately (Max 10 working days). Now guys have to wait for around 10 weeks for d final approval wc is full of suspense and could lead to HBP.
Whatever method they adopt will definitely work in our favour.

emma4eva:
yea, upfront medicals...cic attends to medicals for paper route much early, anything medicals for online comes almost when decision is about to be made. ...Patience level is at 120%...

Your points are valid. That may be a good side of online application, approval maybe sure after late medical call or late medical passed for upfront medical applicants (though you can't predict those guys). Its not fair to pass medical and still wait for more than 10 weeks for final update. I wonder what they are checking after medical passed that they didnt check before medical call.

Patience is indeed virtue for CIC application.

Will surely end well.

guyjones1:
Guy is it possible to see pple who can Help with SOA? Or is true pple do d arrangee of SOA?

Run for your life. Dont even try it.
People on this thread dont do that. Look for anybody, i mean anybody either relative or not with fat bank statement and use as sponsor

All will be well.

CIC with their unusual ways of doing things. You can never predict them. Calling applicants for medicals in less than 10 working days of submission. This is why i do advise for upfront medical if u know that your application is tight. My belief is that any of their action will be to out advantage by God's grace. Congrats to mikymiko and xyoung, God will perfect it. @ emma4eva, what's update in ur application? Did u do upfront medical?
It shall end with praise.

dreams77:


I applied July. I haven't heard from them

What did you apply for masters or PGD. You should send a case enquiry to them if its more than 16 weeks.

abestine:


It is almost impossible to be denied after being called for medicals. Those who were denied after medicals are mostly people who did medicals upfront. Application assessment is in stages. The VO verify your documents to see if everything check out, of it does, they contact you approximately after a month of submission to go for medicals. If the result came out as PASSED, this probably takes about another month, they don't have any choice than to send you a letter of congratulations, telling you to go and pick up with international passport with VIsa stamped on it.

I am talking from experience, I did upfront in my last application, I passed medicals and was denied, if I hadn't done upfront, probably I would have been denied without having to waste money on medicals.
Just what I think though, gurus here can shed more light on that.

From june/july last year approval after medical passed is 50 - 50. It is not matter either you re called for medical or you did upfront. The reason is best known to cic. What i think is that they do preliminary checking of ur document, if its okay they will call you for medical or update your medical as passed. After that they do final checking of ur application. Final checking is d most critical stage where they will confirm ur document may be they are bogus or not. Another thing we need to know is that not all upfront medicals are updated as passed before they are being denied. Some applications with upfront medicals are refused without passing medicals.

The main thing we need is God's grace on our applications. Lets package our applications well and hope for the best. God will not fail us.

It shall definitely end well.

Klinsmart:

I am not desperate bro, I don't want to further research around my project in school. a different project was imposed on me different from what I wanted. I am interested in research in thermo-fluid engineering, particularly CFD or in heat transfer. Like I said earlier, I don't know where to start, but I believe I will be in Canada by Sept next year by God's grace and with thehelp of the good people on this forum

seun7730:
Gd afternoon house, I've been denied based on inadequate financial status. I've seen some errors from my agent on my app documents , one of which is that he stated that i started working since May 2015 instead of May 2016 after my service year. I don't know if i can change this date when next i reapply. Pls i need answers from the gurus. Thanks.

In your next application fill the correct employment date and explain the mistake in your letter of explanation. When did you apply and got response from CIC?

Secondary High school transcript is your result from ss1 to ss3. It will be prepared by your high school on their letterhead paper and sign by the school principal. Its always issue on demand.

High school graduation certificate is ur normal high school certificate either waec or neco certificate.

Igbouwanile:


Thank you bro I have solved it

Good. Success in your application

guyjones1:
Pls can anyone tell me which school/college in manitoba that accept pass in mathematics because I have six credit only math is E8. OR do they accept Nabteb?

What program are you going for?

abestine:


Thanks, that's what I am planning to do, write a letter of explanation, taking each issue raised by the VO at a time to clarify their doubts and add some asset documents and some other evidence of employment I didn't include in my previous application, and pray.
Thanks

Bro, try and get a sponsor. You have ample time to raise ur sponsor account. Your wife as a sponsor is better than you being a sponsor. VO needs to know how cash would coming in for u after your first year since ur program is not a year. If the 6m can be in your wife account and you can show d evidence of how she got the cash, you are good to go.

I wont advice you do self sponsor again. I agree to what moniker Ajayi4 said yesterday. Although i maybe wrong, u can request for ur gcms note. e go beta.

Igbouwanile:


Remember the account has been created already as I cant review security questions or terms and conditions again. I have even tried doing what u just said but it isnt working.. what do I do? please

Pm me and lets talk on phone provided you are with your system.
Its not as difficult as you are taking it.
