Teddiement:
You may visit the 'cancel appointment' page as many times as you want. There is no limit on that. Just be careful on how many times you login to the site daily.
I got a July 10th 2023 date just about 1 hour ago.
Thank you very much for giving me a good explanation. I tried it but it gave me March 2024. I will keep trying. My start date for J1 visa is August 1st. I want to try this option b4 using the emergency date. Mine visa office is Abuja. Is yours Lagos or Abuja? And how many times a day do you think I should login at most.
Thank you once again.

Hello house,
I am seeing an earlier date but still in 2024. Is it wise if I schedule that date? How many times can I reschedule dates at most b4 it expires? I really need one for June 2023.

Hi Guys.
Quick notice for those searching for date, I just got a date in June this morning. June 27th.
Hi, congratulations!!! Did you have a previous scheduled date before rescheduling with this new date? Is it Lagos or Abuja?
TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by mimini: 4:44am On Jun 18, 2023
Hello house,
Please I am scared of checking the reschedule a date section on the visa appointment site because, the first time I checked to see if there are earlier date, there was a warning at the top that I will soon exhaust my access limit. And I don't want to be permanently blocked.
I have scheduled a date which is far 2024, and I am looking for an earlier date in June/July, which can only be done if I check the reschedule date section.
Does this happen to everyone? Do I need to be scared of checking for earlier dates? Please gurus should advice on what to do.
I also want to be added to Abuja group for visa appointment, 07067625525.
Thank you.

Very Long Post Alert!!

I got admission December 2020 for Fall 2021 in University of New Brunswick but could not apply immediately because I was due to give birth in January 2021. I planned to submit my application in March but thanks to our immigration service, it took over 3 months before I could get passport for my baby despite paying through my nose for expedited processing. I ended up submitting our application on the 9th of June 2021 due to this delay. I was advised to put in mine while waiting for the passport but going without my children was not an option. We applied as a family, Myself, husband and 3 children. My husband applied for SOWP and visiting visa for my children because they're not up to school age.

Aside from the wahala of having to convince the VO and the fact that we are close to our mid 40s, two things stood against us. We had applied to visit Canada in 2019, but were denied, reason given was that we will not come back and false information in my husband's application, he didn't disclose his denial for US visa. We had applied for US visa a month earlier but the consular officer decided to give myself and my son but refused my husband. When we asked for the reason, she said she had none but was making a split decision. It was an oversight on my part because I filled our forms, I did mine first and just edited same form for my Husband and son. I forgot to change that part.
The second issue was my husband had a health condition and no information on how it was handled by IRCC. He didn't want to apply with us because he was scared he would ruin our chances but it was a no no for me. How will I manage with 3 small boys while studying.
We decided to use agents to help with our application but when I heard the price, I ran away quickly, not in this Buhari's economy.

I used same SoP I used to get my admission because I had no time to start afresh, I just edited it and in addition explained why I was doing a second masters (I have an MBA, same with my husband), how it would be beneficial in Nigeria and course not available in my country. I also addressed the issue of the denial in 2019 stating we never planned to break any visa rule and pointed them to our travel history to show that we have never overstayed in the countries we have visited. I also had to explain the false information in my husband's SoP stating it was an oversight. Reason given for going with my children is that they were too young to be left behind and I need my husband to take care of them. He runs his business and will take time off to support me in my career advancement. Reason given for him applying for work permit is that he wants work part time to gain experience that he would apply to his business back home and also support his family while in Canada.

Application was submitted 9th of June and the wait started, UNB gave us ultimatum of 13th of September to get our study permit or defer. We would not be allowed to even start online without it. I had no choice but to defer to September 2022. I wrote to IRCC but got generic responses. I got Nairobi email address from this forum and sent several mails. At some point, they stopped responding. I decided to fast and pray first week in February, a friend gave me Abuja email address, I sent a mail to them on the 7th and got a response on the 9th to go for medicals. I was so excited that finally, we have made progress. My husband and I did ours first. We had to disclose his condition and he was asked to go for further test, the tension of waiting was not easy especially on his part, mine was updated on the 19th while his was updated on the 22nd. We finally crossed that hurdle. Then our kids were asked to go for theirs a month later. Theirs was updated on the 23rd of March. I was asked to submit an updated application letter from the school and I also had to send a new passport because of the expiry date on the one I submitted. My hope was that within a month we should be done with this whole process. Then another wait started. I started writing to IRCC every other week from April but they didn't respond to any of my mails. I saw a format on nairaland 3 weeks ago to use to send email reminders but still no response. I decided to chill until the one year anniversary of our submission. At this point I was tensed because so many things were hanging, cost of ticket was rising, I needed to give enough notice to my boss to get my replacement before leaving. I entered another fasting and prayer last week, I had no other option. On the 10th of June, that's last Friday, someone posted the email address of different Visa Offices. I started sending mails to all of them. I also sent message to IRCC's twitter account and was about to send to London VO when I saw 7 donotreply emails. I first of all panicked and was afraid to open the mail. It was like a miracle, finally after one year of waiting, this came through. I also pray for those waiting patiently to get yours quickly in Jesus name, Amen!

Hello Mimini,

We all should know that lumpsum isn't an issue so long as it will be properly explained that it isn't for demonstration purpose and prove provided on how it came about.

Else, I think you may need to ask this question privately to get private answer that may not be for public view.
The best bet is gradually saving up your money for study to avoid all the stress of explanation, which is what I would do. Kindly give me details of things that can be used as proof of funds instead. So that I can be putting them gradually together. This should make the application process easier. Thank you.

Hi,
I have been reading through this page and noticed the delay some people are having in their study permit. What then happens to the admission? Are they allowed to defer the admission until they are given the study permit?
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by mimini: 7:58pm On Feb 09, 2022
[quote author=technix post=110085367]He needs a four-month statement of account.
He doesn't need to transfer any money to your account yet.
Just mention in your LOE that he is your sponsor. He should also write a letter that he is sponsoring you. Then attach your marriage certificate. As an extra, if you have kids, you may attach their birth certificates since they contain your name and your husband's.
