Well my refusal just came in today.
Reasons: Family ties in Canada and at home, 'limited employment opportunities in my country of residence' (WTF does that even mean? I read information technology BTW and there are a ton of IT start-ups popping up everywhere.) and current employment situation (I finished NYSC and started applying to schools immediately, didn't get a job interim because my parents thought it would be too stressful juggling school applications because I'm SS).

Yes they are different. I guess someone may also want to ask if a leave letter is different from a reference letter.
Anyway, I saw you have already started your research about it, nice one. According to you, google says it's meant for minor.
But to my own understanding, as long as you are not sponsoring yourself, it can be said that you are a minor. Therefore, there is need for a consent letter.
There is no special format for it, it's just a letter that the person is aware of your studies to so so and so and he or she is giving his consent bla bla bla...
Note: it must be signed. It should also be sealed or and notarised.
You may also choose not to add it. I am sure many would have gotten their visas without A or B or C documents.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by MissMichelleA(f): 11:28pm On Oct 23, 2019
Can someone please explain this?
I have searched all over google and the only mention of a consent letter is for minors and I am not a minor
MissMichelleA:
Hi. Is a consent letter different from the sponsorship letter?
If so what does the format look like?

Hi. Is a consent letter different from the sponsorship letter?

Obehi44:
If this is your first application then this missing LOE is not necessary. But I can't see a 'consent letter' from your sponsor, a leave letter that proves your job is secured when you return. Aside that, to ans your question on what and what you should add? I will rather say you reduce or remove some things because I can imagine how bulky your application will be with a 7 landed documents.
It is true that no two applications are same, and that all app are unique in their own way to the eyes of the VO. But I think some people tends to upload documents that are not required or relevant to a visa application.
Yes, some things you mention in your letter as what you have or have obtained should be backed up with documents, but certainly not all. Because if that happens, many people who have gotten their visa would not have gotten it. Sometimes visa officers likes it simple. But honestly no one knows what works. No set standards.
Anyway, this is just my opinion as regards your post base on my little experience.
Others can contribute and then you should follow your mind but most importantly pray for Grace. This visa thing Na just Grace.

Hello MissMichelleA,

With an upfront medicals, you can either submit the e-medical slip you will be given with your application or through email or webform after you've submitted. If you're submitting after your app has been submitted, in the body message, simply include any of the following or all; UCI number, Application number, full name etc

About your health, your answer should be NO.

Good luck!
Thank you JustMellow

Yes, you do. As for any other relevant information, bring it to the attention of the medical examiner to include in the report to be sent to CIC.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by MissMichelleA(f): 6:48pm On Oct 18, 2019
Hi. Amen. Thanks for your response. But that part of the form indicates that I have to tick it if I have a medical condition that requires other treatment than medication. In my case, I don't. I use my routine drugs (medication) to manage it. Do I still have to tick that part yes?
abelorode:
Hey michelle, so sorry to hear about your current health condition, the lord will always be your strength. That been said, you have to tick yes in the form because your medical result will prove you wrong on that front. Indicating you have health condition doesn't mean an outright refusal. I think the VO would be more concern on your finances for your health/living expenses, and other aspects of your application. All the best.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by MissMichelleA(f):
Hi everyone. I booked an upfront medical exam at IOM MHAC Lagos for Wednesday next week.
Is it after I have done the exam that Wednesday that I can finally submit my application because I have uploaded the necessary documents?
Also I am Sickle cell anemic but I use only drugs to manage my condition. Do I have to tick yes in the part of the student permit application form where I am asked if I have any medical conditions that requires more than the use of drugs to manage? I know the obvious answer is no but I still need to confirm.

Hi everyone.
I recently just got an offer for the University of Windsor.
I have paid the initial deposit required to confirm my acceptance and I want to start processing my student permit.
Please can I get guidelines?
I have setup my account and I have even opened a new application on IRCC.
I can see the documents they asked me to upload but I'm a bit confused as to where the police report, IELTS score card and other documents I see people talking about is supposed to fall under.
I would really appreciate it if someone can break it down for me.
Also my dad is my sponsor. I dunno if this information would be valuable as well.
Thank you.

A Valentine Day Fiasco Chapter 11 – Kidnapped! Again!

It was during the December period about two weeks before Christmas. She had gone out to see a new movie she had been wanting to watch with Rachel one Friday evening. She was supposed to have gone with John but he had work related stuff to tidy up before he finally went on his well-deserved paid leave. He had called her to apologize and asked if she could go with Rachel instead with all expenses on him.
Fortunately, Rachel had no plans that Friday evening. So they went. They had gone to the cinemas using a taxi because Cynthia didn’t want to go through the stress of driving and Rachel didn’t want to do that either. After the movie, they had had dinner and finally decided to go home as it was getting a bit late. They had flagged down a taxi and got in so as to go back home. By some stroke of fate they had both fallen asleep and didn’t notice when the driver started driving them through a bushy path. It was when the car ran into a deep porthole that they were jolted awake and they noticed they were in an unfamiliar area even with the darkness around them.
“Ahn Ahn driver where are you driving us to? This is not a familiar road na.” Rachel said.
The driver ignored her and kept moving increasing the speed at which he was driving.
“Oga didn’t you hear her? This road you are passing doesn’t seem to lead anywhere known. Turn back now and find the way to the main road.” Cynthia commanded.
However the man continued to ignore them. Instead of obeying their instructions, he locked the car doors and increased his speed even further. Cynthia then knew that they were in trouble. She sized the man up to see if they would be able to manhandle him. Rachel on the other hand, was already beginning to panic...

A Valentine Day Fiasco Chapter 10 – Friends? Definitely.
While John waited for the gate-man to push the heavy wheeled gate open, he made a mental note to run a check on the business Terry said he was into. He had always had double mind about this guy but now it seemed like his worse fears were going to be confirmed. Before he finally drove out, he called Cynthia to find out if she had plans for the evening. As it turned out, she was free. They then made arrangements to check out the new gaming store in town, see a movie and probably have dinner. He could already feel himself getting excited as the call ended. He drove his car out of his parent’s compound and turned into the street. He couldn’t wait to get home and freshen up for the evening ahead.

When Cynthia got a call from him inviting her to hang out with him she wasn’t sure what to say to him. She didn’t want to hang out with a guy when she was not in a good state of mind but she didn’t want to be disturbing Rachel either. Rachel had plans for the night with Bobo and she didn’t want her to cancel because of her. Eventually she agreed to go out with him. “But what does one wear to check out a new ‘game’ store, see a movie and have dinner all at the same time?” Well she was going to have to ask Rachel especially now that Rachel was here. So she walked to the kitchen where she and Rachel had been preparing spaghetti for them to eat just before she had left to answer the phone call.

“What did he say?” Rachel asked immediately she walked to the kitchen.
“Well, I have just been invited to check out a new gaming store, see a movie and have dinner and I have no idea what to wear. Can you epp a sister out?” Cynthia said.
“How do I look casual yet not shabby at a restaurant for dinner? I am not in the mood to dress up. Any ideas?” She continued.
“Well look for a good jeans trouser, I know you have quite a number then pair it with a feminine corp-casual blouse and a wedge. Don’t forget to add a clutch to it.”
Cynthia was relieved. “Thanks B. Thanks for everything.” She said. She knew she could count on Rachel in circumstances like this. “I have to go now.” She continued heading towards the sitting room to pick her bag.
“So you are leaving me to finish this food alone ba?” Rachel shouted from the kitchen.
“No oo. I will come and finish it for you after work tomorrow. No finish am o! I don commot o. Come and lock your door. I’ll call you when I get back.”
“Alright sis. Drive safely.”
“I will. See ya!”
Cynthia drove off and went to get ready for her outing with John. She didn’t know why but he was already warming up to the idea and she was going to make sure she had fun.

The evening ended on a light note. They had had dinner at a family restaurant and for some reason she didn’t seem as uncomfortable as she used to be sitting with so many happy looking couples and families with kids. In fact when she left she felt lighter and freer. John was the perfect companion and she enjoyed their conversations. He had dropped her off at her place and when she went to bed, she slept like a baby with no cares in the world.

It was a little bit after nine pm when he got home. It was a bit late for a work night but it had been worth it John thought to himself. He was glad he had made the decision to see her when he did and was quite pleased when she had said she had enjoyed herself. As he went to sleep, he did so with a smile on his face.

That was how the texting and long calls began. Sometimes they would both talk so late into the middle of the night that they often needed to remind themselves that they had work the next day. Weekends spent at celebrity industry nights, amusement parks and having dinner together became more often. These they both did as friends. Each party comfortable with the way this were between them.

Then one day, something happened. Something that would change everything. Cynthia was on leave.

A Valentine Day Fiasco Chapter 9 – Compulsory Family Lunch.

John didn’t really want to go to this family dinner/lunch. He could just turn back and nothing spectacular would happen. It’s not as if his father was watching him through some lens and then would swiftly run the car like in the cartoons to chase after him. However, he would have to face his mother at some time and that was one thing he didn’t want to come face to face with. So he kept moving behind them some distance behind them and soon they got to his parents’ house. They all drove in with him making sure to park his car where he could easily make an escape should things go wrong.

As he walked into the house, he could smell all kinds of wonderful things. He sighed. He had missed good home cooked food like this. At least that was one good thing about this forced family meal. He couldn’t wait to see what his mum had prepared for them. The steward started bringing in various dishes into the dining area. John was already salivating. He composed himself and went to the sitting room to wait for the family to gather. Ronke came inside along with Lanre and her husband walked in some seconds after they did. Since everyone was around, their mum urged them on to the dining room. They took their seats at the table. His dad at the head of the table while his mum took a chair on the right hand side of his dad. Ronke and her husband took the seats on the left hand side of his dad with Lanre’s high chair stationed between the two of them. He decided to take a seat beside his mum. His dad said a brief prayer and his mum took on the task of dishing out the food. He could see several wraps of Iyan with Efo Riro and spiced pepper snails. There was also a small dish containing rice, most likely for Lanre.

The other members of the family were trying to make an attempt at small talk but he really wasn’t interested. He smiled when they expected him to but his mind was really on Cynthia. He still couldn’t get the image of her off his head. She was really beautiful. While they had been talking in front of the church, all he could do was admire her beautiful features. His mind went back to his high school days. He tried to remember why he had taken so much delight in playing pranks on her and for some reason he couldn’t get the reason. He probably played pranks a lot on her because she didn’t fall at his feet like the other girls did. She barely even noticed him at first. In fact, it seemed like she didn’t even care about any boy. The only one that had caught her eye and caught her eye for long was Tito and it kind of annoyed him then. Maybe it was because he was jealous that was why he started pranking her. He wondered where Tito was now. At least he wasn’t around anymore and Cynthia was not likely to still have a crush on him. He was going to get a chance to let her notice him. Maybe he would get a new “shaking partner” as his mum put it but somehow he doesn’t want to see Cynthia in that light.

He had been so lost in is thoughts that he didn’t hear his mum ask him a question. Ronke tapped him on the shoulder and that brought him back. “A penny for your thoughts big bro?” She asked.
“What did I miss?” He replied.
“Mum was just telling us about the lady she had seen you in church with. She was asking for her name and where you guys knew each other”.
He sighed. His mother would not just let it slide. “She was in my secondary school mum. Her name is Cynthia.”
“Mum, dad, I have to go now.” He said gulping down his glass of wine and checking his wrist watch. It was just some minutes after four pm and it was a Sunday evening. He was going to call Cynthia to find out if she was free this evening. He couldn’t stay here all day putting up the happy family appearance when his mind was on her. He needed this. Probably it would get her out of his system. He stood up from his table, gave his sister a side hug, kissed his mum on the cheek, shook his dad’s hands and gave Lanre a kiss on his forehead.

On his way out he heard someone say “Do what you have to do but do it carefully and don’t ruin it this time, else….” It came from the passage leading to the stairs and when he walked through the door, he saw Terry speaking to someone on the phone.
“Make sure the goods are going to be ready by 10 am tomorrow. Alright bye” Terry said as soon as he saw John coming,
John kept a poker face pretending not to have noticed anything. “Hey man. I have got to go now. Take care of my sister and my nephew.” He said.

“I will. Take care man.” Terry replied.

A Valentine Day Fiasco Chapter 8– Poor Cynthia.

Amanda’s thanksgiving service ended and Cynthia couldn’t wait to get home. Immediately after the pastor’s prayer’s she hurried to Amanda’s side to congratulate her, made arrangements for them to meet up and talk better later and she snuck out before her mother would make her stay behind for the family dinner. She didn’t want to stay one more minute with those obnoxious people. All through the service they had been looking at her with pity. Most of them knew about her broken engagement to Phil all thanks to her mother’s big mouth. She just wanted to get away from the stares. She got into her car and zoomed off. She didn’t want to go home. The house was empty and she wasn’t in a good mood to be at home alone. Then she remembered Rachel. She parked her car by the road and brought out her phone to call her. At the third ring Rachel picked up.
“Hey Cynthia. What’s up?”
“I am just okay. What about you?” Cynthia replied
“I am good too. Are you sure you are okay? You sound a little sad.”
“Did anything happen?” Rachel continued
“No. nothing really. I went for Amanda’s thanksgiving service”
“Did her annoying siblings do anything?” Rachel asked
