Application approval after 16weeks!!!

Fall 2018 issa gooal

Hello guru(s), my application is currently 16 weeks and I got medical request and passed for over 8 weeks now. I used the webform to make enquiry as regards my application last week monday and they responded thus; "Please note that your application for a study permit to Canada is currently under active review. You will be notified via your online account once a decision has been reached".

My question is, what are they reviewing for 16 weeks

Fall 2018 issa goal.

ebirimonyinye:
I am also going to the university of Manitoba

That's great then. It will end in praise.

Dboy4u:
Thanks alot for the reply.. I really appreciate!

By the way, i know my application is being processed at nairobi, kenya because it was written 'on & under' the mail i got for medical request.

What's your intended course of study?

MichyEhi:
Hello,

I am.

Hello,
1. You can send a case specific email to nnrobi-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca for update. Also, you can make use of the web form to send a case specific email; http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp?_ga=2.146488819.611153655.1529209880-204023929.1523765247
How did you know that your application is being processed in nairobi?

2. I don't think it shows desperation when your application has passed the normal processing times which is 9weeks.

3. No one can tell you why your application is taking time after getting a medical request, you can only keep praying and hope for the best.
CIC are very unpredictable btw I got medical request 7weeks ago and no update since then.

It will end in praise brother, just keep yourself busy in the meantime.

Dboy4u:
You didn't answer my questions o.. So i would re-post my issue again; .

Urgent answer needed please (bit lengthy-post)

Good eve guys, i submitted my application at lagos (vfs) on april 13th, 2018.. Instructed to do medicals on; may 5th... Did my medicals on May 7th... Passed my medicals a week after, thus, i didnt receive any further notifications until i had to track it online / link it to my email...
(Note: My application is being processed at Nairobi, Kenya)
And up till now, i'm still seeing final notification... I can say its over a month now; i've been waiting ever since i passed my medicals, and i heard it wasn't suppose to take over 2 weeks maximum..

Also, its been 9 weeks plus in general now.

So my question is;

1) Is there any prescribed email / phone no. for kenya embassy where i can write to make my complaints??.. If any, please i would appreciate.

2) I hope i won't look desperate by writing them, even as my session begins by september 5th.

3) What could be causing such delay now Because the restless - stress isn't just a funny thing jor. Habah.. Shuooo..

Thanks in advance for your reply / replies.

It is well bro. please share your profile.

joe10:
So sad to announce my TRV refusal. I applied Apr 13th and got a refusal June 20th on the ground of 'Purpose of visit'.
However, I have applied for my gcms note for review before reapplying.
Will be grateful if anyone would volunteer to assist review my SOP before reapplying in July.

Wow....This is great that are still attending to online applications asap. Please, when you get your passport, kindly notify the forum where you visa is been processed. All the best bro.

First application: August 2017 and was denied September. Paper based
Second application: October 2017 and denied November. Paper based


Announcing Announcing. The miraculous approval of my TRV after 2 denials (paper based application.

Third application: Online. Submitted April 13th (coinidentally my mum's death anniversary). Medical request 13th of June. Approved 19th. Just saw it today

This application was not in anyway much different from the previous two. In fact it lacked more content than the previous two. No explanation provided for the points raised for the denials, less money in my sponsor's account, no properties document, even my SOP was very brief and just one page.

The difference was just God (i fasted and prayed like never before in my life) and the fact that my sponsor (sister) is now a PR, who is still living in Nigeria.

Lol......You are not alone bro. I passed medical 7 weeks ago and no update since then. I wrote to them ans I'm hoping they will fast track my application. Funny enough I've no travel history.....

MichyEhi:
Hello everyone,

It’s been checking eligibility and doing the background check for over 2 weeks now.

I don’t really understand anymore.

Also, it’s been showing I have a new message since the 7th of June. I’ve read the messages but it won’t disappear.

And I’ve already passed Medicals.

Please I need more answers to this. And why haven’t they gotten back to me since then.

I got the invite as well. I applied for the role of a procurement officer in February.

tunemike:
Do you remember what you applied for?

Great one. How about your eligibility?

joe10:
Good day guys... I notice something strange on my profile just now. I sent a message the immigration in Ghana, Kenya and Lagos to explain reasons for my delayed application ( Almost 10 weeks now) and why there is no update on my profile even though i did upfront medical. I just signed in now to see that my medical now reads "You passed the medical exam" but since inception background check still reads "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information".

I am confused now... Was it my message that prompted this? Can this be a good sign and should anticipate final decision soon or mere coincidence that it was updated today? My guy na different questions i just dey ask myself o. Me still dey pray sha

Amen brother. Many thanks

mcobex:
I am patiently waiting and praying for your approval. June won't pass you by bro.
NB: Feel free to contact cic if your app has exceeded the current processing time.

We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.

Jewel80:
Please what is your eligibility status showing?

Amen. Thanks bro

Austinpee4:
We await your good news soon! Just hold in.

Good to know. As regards my application, na only God hand o. 14weeks of application, got medical request 6weeks ago, no update since then. We go connect at U of M in Sept by God's grace.

abestine:
how is your application going, or are you here already? met canadiannurse in person here, a really cool dude and other annonymous users... nairaland is really connecting nigerians

Egbon statistician, how manitoba. Your boy dey hail o. Hope Winnipeg is treating you well.

abestine:
nice to be here again... really miss this forum

Once you do the medical you don't need to notify CIC, the approved centre will send to CIC within 3 working days. You will see the update on your CIC account. All the very best.

Aghatise:
appreciate more thoughts on this

What's the probability of been fully absorbed after the two months training? Is there any payments during the training? do you advise someone should quit msc. program that started two months ago at U.I two months ago?

Great one then, send them a case specific email as well. E go beta

cecechi:
I have done that, they told me that part of client confidentiality, they dont keep records, thay submit it all, so after waiting for 2 weeks, if it still shows that i need medicals, then I will have to do it again.
