@lee007,
It's nice to hear 4rm u. Pls. do us proud in Canada. We're behind u. I wish u well.

@2sexy,
Such is life! God has ways and reasons of doing things.
Back 2 ur question. I think PGD will be the best for u. U course has good prospect. If u can package ur application well,u got a chance. U knw 9ja is oil rich n ur motivation of coming back is assured,especially if u have good grades.
PGD will be bridge d gap for u to progress for Masters.

@Kazlam,
Yea,Kazlam. My God is AS'SABUR(The patient one) So,he wants be to be patient. He always do the best for me. He's great! Yea,ur stand with d schl admission is OK. So,which start up date r u deferring to?


@acca12,
ACCA777 was once denied visa and I inspired him to try again.I dunno if he tried again or not. ACCA247 was my former handle on nairaland. I dunno why it was locked my moderators of nairaland. My new handle is newacca which I'm currently using.
are u also intending to pursue ACCA in Canada?
ciao

@2good,
thx a lot Bro. u r 2 good as ur handle suggests. u r one in a Million.

@P.desmond,
Nobody ever respond directly to d medical issue question. except now that 2good responded. All d same.thx 4 ur comment.
ciao

@Kazlam,
wow! coincidentally,I'm also a prospective student of Stouffville college. Well,if the college insist u shld re-apply,then re-apply if you r still interested in d same schl. At times it's necessary for Man to settle some scores. It's part of those things bro. Act fast and re-apply. We are 2geda Bro. As it is in my case now,it's like d college gotta request I also re-apply when I am through with my medical issue in 2013 (God willing) So,we gotta keep tryn 2geda.
ciao

@jman77,
Thx. Man. My handle is NEWACCA not NEWMECCA Though I also like that new handle u gave me. No qualms Bro. As long as ur dox are original. CDHC has ways of verifying dox. U knw references,#s,address,telephone# etc are on certs and dox. CDHC gotta understand why u got d dox laminated.


@mxxpunkxx,
Yahooooo! I am proud to be a Nigerian no matter what. I feel the love here every time. The African blood flows. Nice 2 hear u r a Pal to imperiouxx outta nairaland. Good one!

He's AS-SABUR( The Patient one) It has worked for me b4 and it always work 4 me everytime. Yea,Kanu's heart ailment springs him up to initiate d KHF. Interestingly,I have also started my own little charity according to my capacity and I dream of expanding it and reaching out to more orphans and destitute as time goes on(Insha Allah) Thanks for inspiring me. I am really feeling u. Being a self sponsor! Doctor confirms that my treatment may last 18mnths(1.5yr) which means June,2013. All d same,we gotta still merry 2geda when we get it( By God's grace)

I applied for visa in April,2011 and was called 4 interview in 4th July,2011 got medical call on 13th July did medical on 27th July and responded to d DMP dat i've treated and cured of TB 8yrs ago. She noted this down and investigation continues concerning d ailment. In a nutshell,Doctor confirmed dat it relapses. I'm a prospective student of Stouffville college going for ACCA. Pls. let me knw when u get admn. and d school. Also,which prog.? Degree or master's or PGD?

@All,
Pls. enlighten me. Do Netherlands Embassy requires medical tests before visa is issued? I will appreciate a response to this question.
I have applied for a study visa to Canada in April 2011 and got called for medical test(as a procedure for visa) in July,2011 but during the interview with the designated doctor of the embassy,she asked if I have ever had TB. I told her d truth that I had the ailment8.5years ago and I got cured of it 8years. The doctor wrote her comments and the embassy directed to to go for sputum smears test,which comes negative,additional test was requested and I was directed again to see a Pulmonologist. On d long run,the Doctor told me that the TB relapses,and that it will take abt 1 year for me to be treated. Though I have started d treatment in Dec.2011 it is just a daily intake of some medicine and I can take it along whenever I want to go anywhere.
I do not want to put my egg inside one basket and I am finding some other options. I consider Netherlands better and preferable in my opinion. I would like to know if the Embassy directs students to take medical test. If it does not,I think I can continue with my treatment in Netherlands when I eventually get the visa. what is stops d processing of my admission with the schools I applied to,is the medical test issue. please i need ur comment,advice and response.
thank.

@kazlam,
which of the two colleges: stouffville college or LSBF? You know admission policies are different from each other. If it's stouffville,try and send another e-mail if you don't hear from them yet,give them a call.


@jman77,
No special format. It is d same reference. Just for the person to attestate to your academic career.
ciao

@Bashtee,
Congrats on d new development . I have added u on YIM.

@Kazlam,
I feel for u concerning d refusal. It is not d end of the world. U can always try again. I do not remember giving my e-mail address to you. So,I don't think I receive any personal message from u. Back to the topic. If you apply as married man with children,u need to prove to the visa officer that you have sufficient fund to support ur family at home even if they r not going to Canada with u. Remember dat u didnt create the impression that ur sponsor will also support ur immediate family while u are in Canada. Based on my experience and view,ur sponsor's acct is fair but ur personal acct is low. #360,000 right? You can re-apply and support ur application with a letter of intent,explaining ur financial status and hw u will support ur immediate family when u r in Canada. Also find pad ur Bank acct up. with free flow of cash,not dumping huge amount of money in d acct without any financial activities going on regularly. If u have any other prove of finance like dox. of properties and evidence of shares,it gives an edge. Ib believe with this development,u stand a chance. Bro,pls. try and try and try again. I am always here to attend to you according to my lil experience. goodluck.
ciao

@jman77,
reference from someone that knows about your academic record means reference from maybe ur former lecturer,teacher,principal or former employer. Simple.

GOOD NEWS

@Tolyem,cyline404 et al,
Please exercise little more patience. if someone like me could still hold on after it will take me anoda 1year to treat the relapsed TB and I still hold on the dream,then u guyz shld hold on. I understand how u feel. God wants the best for u all no matter the outcome.
CDHC will give u instructions to submit new start date letter when they are ready. That is what I feel from my own experience. Another thing is this,you may write to them and ask if u cld submit new start date. I did that after I was called for further medicals and they responded to me that I may submit new start date,but since my case will not be concluded so fast,d new start date I submitted is of no use. Unless I get another one in 2013. May God help us all.

@Bashtee,
hw far? have u gotten skype? we need to connect brov.

SAD! FROM GOD WE CAME,TO HIM WE SHALL RETURN. May GOD grant his family the fortitude to bear the loss.

@La Parisienne,
Thx. so much 4 ur kind gesture. I want to go for undergraduate studies. But d visa issue bothers. I think study visa to Netherlands will be easier that's mainly part of reasons of considering Netherlands. Thx. so much. I welcome more advice and suggestion 4rm all.
ciao

@House,
I am happy to see this thread. I think I can make my little contribution and also seek opportunity to ask questions from those that have already studied in Netherlands like megastu,2good and the rest.
I learn from people everytime and everyday and I also like sharing my knowledge and experience with ppl. I learnt from experience and contact with some universities and colleges in Netherland. it's true that schls do get visa to students directly from Netherlands. It is call MVV. but 2good has explained the formalities.

@kaffy4tope,
1. The web address of CDHC,Lagos : http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/nigeria

2. You will find list of documents and mode of submission on the embassy's website

3. You are to submit at least 3months before ur start date. I will advise u to submit ur application by April ( 5mnths) to start date cos u have d grace of applying 6mths b4 start date. I advised cos recently it takes more thana 3mths to process study visa in Lagos office.

4. Yes,u can use ur passport that will expire in 2013as long as it is has at least 3 or 6mnths validity(not sure) before ur application. But u can use ur passport since it expires in 2013 and u will be applying long b4 dat time.

5. Yes, u can use ur church as sponsor,but u need to prove why the church is sponsoring u. is it gonna be a scholarship? Your church can sponsor u,but u really need to prove to the visa officer why ur church is sponsoring u to study abroad. Give the reasons to the house here,and people will weigh it if u r good with ur reasons and if not they will advice u on what to do concerning d sponsorship or hw to present ur case when u wanna apply.
Good luck.

A man who have skills in using his common sense to produce extra ordinary results. Also,someone who can handle his finances without the service of financial officer/Accountant. Someone who has financial education is also an educated man. with or without degree. GBAM!

meine:
I just got back from Canada on both business trip and holiday and i feel like encouraging the guys here. I was in Toronto, Montreal and Calgary for a while, these are like 3 diff regions, so i can chip in one or two things

I have been following this thread even though i wasn't going for study, just love seeing Nigerians making good suggestions and helping each other

I want all of you complaining about the stress and time you have to wait to plsss stop, because studying in Canada is one of the best choices you will ever make in your life . Its a country with happy people, who look forward to seeing you.  Honestly if i were a student and am being told to wait a year, i wont mind as far as i am given the visa. Infact i once met some Americans from Ohio who are planning to relocate to Canada. I vote for a study in Canada for the ff reasons

1. Blessed with Natural resources, oil and many more so it is self sufficient.
2. Good and responsible government.
3. Shielded by the USA from massive illegal immigration so crime is reduced (No Mexican gangs and drug fights).
4. For the religious its better than the UK because u are free even to build a Buddha temple.
5. Genuinely happy people, happiness can prolong your life. They respect you , the racism nonsense is almost zero
6. You get job easily after graduation, you can become a citizen in some cases after 3 years, you know the rest.
7. Don't be scared about the cold, its enjoyable with warm clothing besides most houses have heaters. And if cold wahala too much you can move to more moderate areas like Vancouver and Toronto.
8. They don't poke nose like the USA,hence no single bomb threat.

The truth of the matter is that if your application is full proof, you have a 90% chance of getting your visa, i don't believe its much about praying,fasting without good preparation. Magic wont just work. I also want to appeal that if you feel you aren't fully prepared for them, don't apply wait for the right time. And that time will come if you work harder in nija. I was denied a US student visa 4 times about 15 years back but at the moment i can tell you that no consulate ever refuses me a visa. So timing and preparation is crucial, if you have doubts in your mind about your application please investigate it well and see what remedy u can provide.

These people have seen your country and they know what their country offer in exchange, so my dear they are never in a hurry to answer you . It can be a test of patience but its worth the waiting. If money is not a problem i will advise the use of those established agencies for application, because they would have put your documents thru the first phase of screening,thereby making the consular job easier. Agencies don't guaranty visas but any visa officer seeing such application is happier knowing that his job has been half done.

I wish you the best. Peace.

Honestly if i were a student and am being told to wait a year, i wont mind as far as i am given the visa.

Infact,this keeps me going, +1
@meine,
You've said it all. Canadian education is worthwhile. In my case,God wants me to be patient. I won't lose hope. I will get myself treated and I know I will get the study permit ( by God's grace) Though I have to wait for minimum of 9mnths to 1year to get myself treated of relapse PTB. Yet,I am optimistic. I've got to keep moving.

@Aiwehia and Fagbs,
CONGRATS!

@All,
Thx. so much for your support. It keeps me going. God is all knowing and he remains all knowing.
I will keep u all posted as things go.

@lasBonBoi,
CONGRATS bro. I wish u well in ur career in Canada.
