Amefrica: Happy Birthday to the one and only femal VisaOfficer on this thread..

Longlife and prosperity, MissBon.

When u arrive, visit ur school's international department. U will be given the website and the documents and steps needed to get the authorization letter. It can take upto to 30 days to get the letter so it's not an immediate thing but not a stressful process tho. All the best

vinnygod: @missbon thank you for taking time to explain that...always cherish ur contributions but pls can u elaborate the procudures to take in applying for this authorization! Hope I didn't ask much

It simply means, u can't just begin to work when u enter Canada. U have to apply for authorization first then a letter will be issued. It wil be taken to a place called service Canada then a SIN number(social insurance number) will be issued. Then you can now start to work for 20hrs a week.

vinnygod: On June 1, 2014, if you hold a study permit but you have not yet applied for an Off-Campus Work Permit, you are authorized to work off campus without a work permit as long as you meet the eligibility requirements for working off campus.
Please I need some guruz to help interpret this clause above explicitly cuz am a bit nervous about wat Kingsolve said regarding the condition stated on his study permit ( except authorised,you re not eligible to work) does the clause really mean you ain't eligible for off-campus work if ur trv was issued from may 31st upwards. Thou curious but concern

U can send me a pm here on nl

cessna150: @missbon can u please PM me your email addy?Thanks

You need to show atleast a recent four months soa so pls don't leave anything relevant out. This is a super important doc for ur application, if it's incomplete, they may not request for the rest and a final decision will be made which may not lead to a good outcome
All the best

ManTiger: Not at all maam. I just wish he doesn't make mistake like i did cos there is little or nothing anyone can do to adjust the form after submission. Can you/anyone tell if they will certainly request for the rest of the SOA cos its very voluminious and i just scanned and uploaded the first page that has total dr, cr, a/c name and balance.

Congratulations..wishing u a safe trip to Canny

halle2: Hi guys,

To God be all d glory,
Applied June 6- online
Biometrics June 9
Med call July 4
Med done July 10
Passport request July 16

You all made this happen, Chrigo,Miss Bon,Amefrica,SLimdel,Dr Pak, my MUN team, er'one of you in one way or the other kept me going. You are family,and I appreciate you all. With guys like you all, am certain there's hope for Nigeria

Some of the colleges judge based on the courses u have done before not necessarily the cgpa. Some peeps got their admission with a 2.5cgpa so don't just rely on what they wrote, u can send in ur application to the colleges to see the outcome if you wish.
All the best

zerray: but their pgd is 3.0 CGPA o,do you know anyone that did some undergrad courses just to booast their CGPA before masters,since the CGPA is below 3.0

Congratulations...wishing u a safe trip to canny

msanon: Applied 3rd July (Online)
Biometrics 7th July
Passport request 11th July

I want to say thank you to missbon and BaaleofMontreal for their immense help during my application process; as well as everybody who's contributed over time. The posts were a massive help. To the TRV and medical hopefuls I pray you get your good news soon. Spend less time fretting over already submitted applications and medical call ups and more time praying and trusting God and watch him put a smile on your face. Best wishes guys!

Anyone in or heading to London, Ontario?

If u say ur employed then you have to submit ur own soa and pay slips but if ur not then no need, just ur sponsors soa will do coupled with his source of income docx

awe2015: I mean in the case were I do not have 1naira in my account... Will my sponsors SOA take care of that? So since I do not have any $$ in my account, should I still submit it? Just asking... Cos I am thinking of either adding some cash to it or leaving it flat as it is...

Am doing great....I trust u r gud too

emperoracro: Madambon, i dey hail o, how ar u doin ma

All u can do is relax and remain hopeful. Every application is different and have different processing times. U will hear from them soon

LyfeJennings: Hello everyone.
It's been exactly 5weeks yesterday I reapplied for my visa and I'm yet to get any response. Please,what do U suggest I do? Thanks

I don't see the need why u wanna stay back in Nigeria, you can even get great job here after the pgd in GIS, from there u cn get ur permanent residency and end up doing the masters at a more cheaper cost. This is just a suggestion tho, do wat works for you best

slimmsyyetty: .

@misbon: thank you for your reply. Are Ɣ☺ΰ now suggesting I should apply for GIS straight away in Canada and bother not doing a PGD firstly in Nigeria before applying for masters.

it may be difficult for you to get masters...why not go for courses related to ur first degree, it must not be exactly what you are looking for tho.
maybe you should consider geographic informations systems, its related to your course and lucrative..some colleges have a co-op option for it which means you can gain some work experience from it..afterwards, you can apply for the masters in future if you wish
check out the colleges below

slimmsyyetty: Hi everyone. Am a first timer on this trend. I wasn't offered admission for masters program. I had 2.2 in my first degree (neither weak nor strong). Please what should I do to strengthen my graduate admission towards my next application. I would like to have my master in geology/geophysics (its related 2my 1st degree), and I cant find schools in Canada that offers postgraduate diploma (PGD) in either of geology/geophysics. Alternatively, what if I endured to have a PGD here in Nigeria before applying for my masters in Canada, would that boost my chances of being given admission for masters? I will appreciate your response. Thanks.

Wishing u a very nice weekend too

Finestlex: Happy weekend everyone... especially to miss bon

Okay pls choose ur words carefully next time.
Showing that u have past employment may actually hurt ur application.what can help u is if you show that someone is willing to employ u on return.this someone is best when it's ur sponsor.not just a stranger or someone dat has no connection with you. If ur sponsor can't do dis den a close relative is better. Pls note that it has to be a registered company. And it should be written on a letterhead paper with correct contact and signatures.Also you must be ready to write a convincing statement of purpose. Try to show it to peeps here before submitting.

vanrichie4u: Pardon my use of bad language..I love canada too. Pls advice me if u can on my issue. Thanks

Bloody Canadians? I guess am not the right person to answer this questions since I like Canadians..
All the best

vanrichie4u: HOUSE WHAT ADVICE DO U RECOmmend!?
You no how the story goes here in 9ja..I've been in the unemployed status for about a year now, a family friend is willing to grant me an employment letter from his company to back me up that I worked with him. I want to state it on my cv I stopped working 6 months ago so that these bloody canadians won't ask for my own bankstatement or Payslips since I have stopped working with them ( my folks are my sponsors). I would be glad if I get response from u chaps.thanks

Urs isnt and would never be the most delayed trv..keep mailing the embassy, and remain hopeful..I shall tell u congrats very very soon

chrisviral: missed you all like mad.... Well my phone exploded so i wont always visit here often for now untill i get a new one,,, CIC still no wan give my TRV,,, Amefrica, whats up, chopped TRV yet... Slime, have you packed yet, val nwanne whats happening? Missed you, onye oma, i hail, papa chrogo i greet oo, miss bon, salutation, oga justwise, welldone sir. Maximip, dr pak, codebreaker and all others i salute...


Still trusting on oluwa that i will not enter guiness book of recoed for MOST DELAYED TRV

Try to get a co-sponsor and pls make sure the bank statements u r using are very credible cos thats what ur first refusal is emphasizing on.also try to send ur sop to peeps to help u check before submitting.
All the best

12. New statemement of account with opening balance of 3.7mm and hopefully closing with 5.5mm
13. Document showing Deed of Assingment of my landed property
