Naijaforeigner:


Boss, my BP can never go high just that my case is peculiar and I am praying to God for a decision before Monday next week. My UK student visa expires on the 21st. When I get my Canada application approved, I still need to submit my passport to VFS and get it back before 21st (it could take about a week to get passport stamped. I need to leave uk on or before 21st or I would be banned from UK.

Another alternative is to renew my UK visa via masters route (already have masters admission in UK) but I have to pay a non refundable deposit of £3,500 for school fees + £150 (iHS fees) + application fee. if I take this route, UKVI would be with my passport for 15 days or I apply for priority (5 days, cost about £500 upwards) or same day visa processing (premium service) which costs about £700. If I decide to take this route and my Canada application gets approved, I would have given UK almost 2M free.

So the question on my mind all week has been , should I pack my load from UK with faith believing I will get the Canada visa or I renew my UK visa with almost 2M?

Even if I apply faith, pack my load and leave UK, I still need to submit my passport when my Canada application is approved. How will I send my passport over from Nigeria to UK and then to VFS and then collect it back (I have to physically collect it or authorise someone to do this)? Canada school resumes sept 4th.

I wish I can take these guys to court, processing time says 1 week from UK, now I am stuck. It is 5 weeks already.

Hello gurus!
I have been a silent reader on this forum, I am totally confused with my application. I applied via paper route on the 8th of May, I have been tracking my application via VFS and it shows it is been processed. What do I do I haven’t heard anything from them and this is the 13weeks. I’ll be glad if anyone could help!!!

Changing to upfront medical passed and start of eligibility review does not say much on whether visa application would be successful or not. I wish you success though.

Like someone has always said, I dont think these VO are some kind of god. They are simple professionals like police officers,
Bankers, you and myself. I see no reason for saying things the way it is.

Am seriously indeed of advice..
This is my first attempt
I was denied a study visa and am yet to understand what the visa officer is actually looking for..
Reasons I was given
1. I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay , as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of IRPR (a) Based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence
(b) Based on your purpose of Visit
(c) Based on you personal and financial status

I got admission to study “Health care and Environmental Service Management “ ,2yrs College diploma , in Toronto

•I have a Bsc (Biochemistry 2.1) 2016
•Have a Health security safety and Environment HSSE Certificate ( Level 1,2 and 3) 2017
•Did my one Nysc at Ministry of Environment and Mineral resources (nov 2016 to October 2017)

Documents submitted
•All cic forms ( Including student questionnaire and family form)
•Statement of Result
•Nysc Certificate
•HSSE Certificate (level 1,2 and 3)
•waec
•Neco
•First School leaving Certificate
•The College offer letter
•receipts of all fees requested by the college $7,400 CAD
• my father’s company bank Statement of 40Million naira
•company registration
•sponsorship letter from my father
•company board of resolution letter (stating they are aware and in support) this was written by my mum because she’s one of the director
•my Virgin international passport
•photocopies of my parents international passport data page and visa pages ( USA and India)

Also, I filled in my form that am working in my father’s company as the secretary, from January 12, 2018 till date.

What I totally don’t understand is my personal assets and financial status they are talking about, for Christ sake I stated my father is my sponsor..
Secondly, the Canada family ties , my family is here in Nigeria (father, mother and all my siblings), We just have one family friend in Canada which I also told them

Please I need your kind suggestions.. #RemainBlessed

datascience:
Guys,

What if I just show my school scholarship letter that comes with admission?

Does it stand as sponsorship letter? Thanks

henricson:


I have SOA and treasury bills, but I thought SOA of sponsor was more important as mine wasn't sufficient enough. Besides, I have no properties for now.

henricson:
I'll like to first apologize to people who may get angry that the alot of repetitive questions are being asked. I tried my best to get information from old threads and the CIC website.

This is my first time applying for a Canadian study permit. Got an admission to humber college for a graduate program in project management slated for the winter program January 2019. I have an MBA from Ahmadu Bello Zaria, and b.sc in banking and finance. I have been working for almost 3 years in customer care for a telecommunications company. That's for that.

So far, I realised one can apply online and just upload required documents. I hope it's ok to take pictures of documents and upload.

For clarification, required documents to upload online are, acceptance letter from university, birth certificate, police clearance (yet to be called to pick this up), upfront medical clearance (booked appointment date at prime medical is 31/07/2018), SOA from sponsor plus letter of introduction, plus canadian citizenship page of sponsor, employment letter and payslip of sponsor, letter of introduction from work place plus 6months payslip (learnt payslip not important though), employment letter, Nigerian passport (data page), proof of first semester tuition payment.

One last question, I guess visa application fee is paid immediately after application online, and later on the visa office calls for biometrics

Please once again, I apologise for taking us back

Hi Gurus in the House, please am a bit confused

My re-application is just 10 days today and my medical has been updated as passed. When i re-applied i didn't submit upfront medical because I could not wait for the report which was delayed as a result of system issues at children practice. I later went to the hospital and collected the medical report. 4 days ago, i scanned the report and sent a mail to lagos.immigration@international.gc.ca asking them to include the medical report to my application and I was surprised to see the medical update as passed today.

Is this normal?

harde116:
Ultimately, no one should even try to send any mail before the 9weeks is complete. If you ask me, i would even say you give it one more week, say 10weeks, that's if you are patient enough. It kind of shows you are not desperate and your life is not on "pause mode" even though we know it might be. But asking that something is updated even when it's not 9weeks is pretty ridiculous. They may not even need it, I think Frank or someone got approved without a medical request on this platform. So you never know...

I understand it's quite tiring, but we really do not have a choice.

All the best guys!

joe10:


I do not think it is necessary for you to submit your SOA if your sponsor has sufficient fund and you are submitting his SOA. But, you can submit your SOA/pay slip to reveal your monthly pay if you have work experience or still working just to boost your claim.

I hope this helps.

Ryan28:

I am reporting live from VFS. I can confirm that booking is still ongoing and has come to stay. By next month booking is going online.

I have a bit of challenge, I had to abandon my medical because children practice hospital is having system downtime since yday and I am running out of time for fall resumption. I believe maybe today or tomorrow the system issue will be resolve.

How can I update my medical after paper submittion?

krystalstone:
Kudos to all contributors on this platform, could you please give advice on my academic transcript. My school prefers sending to requested institution and not by hand, will it be okay sending unofficial copy as part of my visa application? Thanks

alftdbts:
Goodmrn could someone help lay my concerns to rest. I submitted my online application last week and I accidentally skipped the correspondence from my Uni that ask me not to pay tuition until arrival because they have no refund policy in existence so it's money to thin air if outcome is negative and also my student transcript won't come out from the school called University of Ibadan after like 4months, (such an amazing school). But every other docs were intact, does this really affect ones chance?. Though I know visa approvals in our Naija lately has bin by grace

Dwebb55:


Actually Harde, he is right! The old passport (not visa/s) will be cancelled without prejudice. That doesn't invalidate the visas contained therein. Only thing is that it's the new passport that will be stamped going forward.
