My brother applied to 3 University for an undergraduate course, all 3 gave him admissions. Please is there any future implication if he confirm acceptance of all and present one for visa processing. Will the 2 other university consider take the acceptance a wasted slot. A senerio of been denied visa now and reapplying to the same school for admission and he will be given (chances) to process his visa in future

He should choose the one he want and deny the rest!

Lamideyy:
Does he have a drivers licenses or NIN slip ?
The both would show a picture and his age
My sisters passport expired last year too so I used her NIN slip

my sponsor, mom and siblings passport were all expired but I uploaded it

Lekiboboe:
Hi Chief,

Based on your post, i wanna ask you some questions;

1) The mail you sent to the PROFS at the U of Waterloo, was it a Cold Mail?

2) The Research Areas of those Professors, does it align with your research interests, prior research experience and relevant work experience in Electrical Engineering or whatever field you intend to do your Thesis-based MASTERS?

3) Did you attach your ACADEMIC CV and your TRANSCRIPT (unofficial) to the the mail you sent to the Professors?

4) Did you send a SOFT REMINDER to those PROFS. that didn't respond to you?

5) What is the name of that Thesis-based Masters Program at U of Waterloo?

Hello bro/sis, in answer to your questions:
1. Yes they were cold mails
2. Yes their area of research interest align with mine.
3. Yes I attached my CV and transcript
4. Yes I just sent a reminder email this morning
5. The name of the program is Master of Applied Science (MASc) in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a concentration in Energy Systems.
Thank you

Kkddyit:
Shouldn't really be an issue since all the three names are on the ID. But going forward, kindly arrange your names properly as this could be taken for someone else in it's entirety.

Best of luck.

Thanks a lot

hello
please I just got admitted, how do I go about the visa

Good day all. Please i need help and suggestion gurus in the house.

I have written my IELTS exam and the result is out but they are yet to send my test report form. (We were told it will be couriered to our address) Please I have until tomorrow to submit my score. Please what do you advice I do considering the time?. I am planning of submitting the page where the result was displayed on my dashboard and also attach an explanation letter that I am yet to get the hard copy of my TRF.

N:B I requested for British Council to send my result to Canada embassy and they have done that on 22nd of April. I got a mail that they've sent it but I am not seeing it in my application. It was sent even before the result was displayed on my dashboard
I am confuse on how to go about this.

Rootiab:
Good morning everyone. Who here has paid schools fees for Memorial University through form A and it went through?

marcelonwa:

Congratulations to the recent PPR recipients

Ure not alone. January applicant and waiting. God will come through for us. When is ur resumption date in May

Slim4Rehani:
hello
please I just got admitted, how do I go about the visa

Get your documents together and fill the form correctly and start

Uzomachukwu:
Who is insulting and disparaging who? That ain't my MO, man. Meanwhile, why use the inclusive "we" subject in your opening sentence here? Who are the "we" that are much aware of this incident you just mentioned? I am certain that am not included in your "we," as I do not know of the case you're citing, and will be glad if you could locate that applicant's post here on Nairaland and quote it for all of us to read again.

Moreover, even as you're mentioning it here for the first time now, you do not really know what went down in that application, nor do you know what the said immigration lawyer included or left out in their explanation to IRCC (unless you were the lawyer in question), just as you did not say at what point in time they had contacted IRCC (as soon as the mistake was discovered, less than three weeks after the application was submitted, or just very close to the finalizing of the application, in which case the procedural fairness letter must already have been underway before their webform clocked even a week and ready to be acknowledged by IRCC).

At the same time, do not think you have full information about the nature and depth of the error or number of errors the applicant you cited committed in their application. But as to the error of the nature being talked about here yesterday, I can definitely say that a very convincing explanation letter and a new IMM 1294e form sent through a webform earlier in time will be enough to take care of the problem. Yet, the outcome will partly depend too on how many other obvious "lies" the applicant told in their application (once = perhaps a mistake; twice = surely intentional).

Used “we” because the handle belongs to a Canadian NGO (not an individual). We do have experts in this field including pro bono Canadian immigration lawyers who provide free immigration information to prospective Canadian students from Nigeria. We have dealt with multiple cases similar to the case of the individual making the inquiry here.

Now that you know who “we” are, the point “we” are trying to make is that it is insulting to refer to other’s view as garbage (as @RELAN2446 did) just because it differs from your lay view. This is a public forum, people should be able to contribute to issues here without people like you disparaging their views. The fact that the information we provided differs from your does not make yours right and ours “misleading”. If you want to know more about the case "we" referred to pls watch our Webinar video on the link below and hear from the very immigration lawyer that handled the case. You may want to jump to the 51.10 minutes of the video. <

**** Its sis not bro

lizziepie:
I have done so

which bank did u use??

Hello house, I wanted to ask if showing proof of funds must be from a bank, because my aunt who is my sponsor, The funds available is in an investment company which I presented, also added landed properties, and she wouldn’t want to pull out the funds till it’s time for payment, I have also made my first semester payment, but now that I am eligible for nse, can I just get the statement again and attach a letter saying they are not amongst the bank listed but still showing the money available, because her personal savings account i wanted to previously add, wouldn’t have that sort of amount in it for the period of my application.
Please I need advice

Yes i know, have contacted my bank before.

How will you do it

Is it possible for someone in Canada to help me pay from there, is it possible or make sense for the application?

I don't understand all these things again...

###### LONG POST ALERT ######


It’s Testimony Time

Guys, I wish to share my success story in order to encourage others who have been delayed. First of all, I thank Mr. Frankrobbn1, Mr. JustMellow, Mr. Lekiboboe, and other contributors for their selfless services here. I also appreciate some people who have been trying to answer questions in the absence of the gurus, but most times your answers are wrong and misleading.

Secondly, I like to thank Mr. Frankrobbn1 again because he made efforts to ensure I get approved this time, after 2 previous attempts. He is truly a guru. From the choice of course, to choosing the University, including review of LOE & IMM forms, with covering all possible refusal technicalities in my LOE. I appreciate your help, Mr. Frankrobbn1, Almighty Allah will bless you.


1st Application - Online (Did it myself)

- Course: Post-Bachelor Certificate in Accounting.
- School: University of Lethbridge, Alberta
- Sponsorship: Self
- Application submitted – October 9, 2019
- Application refused – November 6, 2019
- Refusal reasons: Family ties and Employment situation


2nd Application - Online (Done by a Canadian Immigration Lawyer)

- Course: Post-Bachelor Certificate in Accounting.
- School: University of Lethbridge, Alberta
- Sponsorship: Self
- Application submitted – November 29, 2019
- Application refused – January 28, 2020
- Refusal reasons: Family ties and Purpose of visit
- GCMS Notes: No evidence on file of PA’s acceptance to Master of Accounting as stated (VO made a mistake here and we pointed it out in the new LOE), and the Applicant’s plans of study appear vague and poorly documented.


3rd (Approved) Application - Online (With all NSE documents)

- Course changed to: Master of Management – International Accounting & Finance
- School changed to: University of Windsor, Ontario
- Sponsorship: Self
- Intake: September 2021, but was changed to May 2021 while my application was in progress
- Application submitted – February 10, 2021
- Submission confirmation – February 10, 2021
- Upfront medical approved – February 16, 2021
- Eligibility review started – February 17, 2021
- Ghost update 1 – February 24, 2021
- Ghost update 2 – February 26, 2021
- Ghost update 3 – March 3, 2021 (GCMS shows that LOA was confirmed this date)
- New LOA for May 2021 – March 19, 2021, sent via IRCC & Kenya Webforms March 20
- Follow-up emails – Started March 22, 2021, twice a week to Kenya, later to London, and Beijing.
- Email acknowledgement – Received once only from Kenya on March 22 with application still in process. I realized there are 2 types of acknowledgements: (1) Active review: if you receive this, then your application is not almost finalized yet, (2) In process: this means your application is in advanced stage.
- Ordered GCMS notes (through a colleague in Canada, I think it’s faster this way) – March 31, 2021
- PPR & BVL Received – April 12, 2021
- Passport received by VFS Abuja – April 15, 2021
- Passport stamped and Counterfoil received – April 15, 2021

- LOI received – April 16, 2021
- UPS delivered passport – April 19, 2021
- GCMS received – April 19, 2021
- Application Visa Office: Nairobi Primary & Windsor Secondary, but application was finalized by Lagos. PPR & LOI came from Lagos.


Lessons learnt:
(1) Career progression is very important,
(2) Significance of fund and its accessibility cannot be over emphasized,
(3) Home ties carry heavy weight, especially family/economic/volunteering, etc
(4) Travel history is an added advantage for matured students like me (40+), Lagos VO acknowledged this in the GCMS notes.

- Letter of Explanations (7 pages)
- Education certificates & transcripts
- CV
- Employment documents (past & present), including awards & pay stubs for present job

Parting notes
(1) Prospective applicants must be patient
(2) Do not disturb IRCC office if your application has not exceeded processing time or your resumption date is not approaching or your tuition payment deadline is not due soon
(3) It seems Airlines from India & Pakistan aren’t allowed to enter Canada now, so IRCC may shift attention to the Applications from Nigeria, please get set for your good news
(4) Endeavour to go the way of NSE
(5) I feel sad when I read negative comments about Nigeria here, please let’s stop it. It will come to haunt you or other Nigerians. Every country has her challenges, please let’s speak well of our country

BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE AWAITING GOOD NEWS

Congratulation!!
Hmmm.. I'm interested in this your mail acknowledgement analysis. I've received 2 mails so far. The one from Kenya April 14th had "active review" while the one from Beijing April 16th had "In process". I hope this your analysis is through ooo... lol.

Hello everyone!

**Urgent**
Please who has paid for his visa application of $150CAD through his/her mastercard or better still, how did you pay? Since i can't pay more than $100CAD through my first bank mastercard in a month.

Please any alternative

And then, can someone in Canada pay for me, will it make sense to the application and is it possible?

Thank you!

Hello bro/sis, in answer to your questions:
1. Yes they were cold mails
2. Yes their area of research interest align with mine.
3. Yes I attached my CV and transcript
4. Yes I just sent a reminder email this morning
5. The name of the program is Master of Applied Science (MASc) in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a concentration in Energy Systems.
Thank you

Its possible they are not accepting student anymore for this year.

I would suggest you shift your attention to other schools, you might even be able to get a Funded Masters in those other schools

There are lots of Canadian UNIVERSITIES that offers Masters in Electrical Engineering with concentration in Energy Systems

Go to google and type

"Professor of Energy systems Canada"

You gonna see schools like

McMaster University
University of Alberta
Carleton University
Memorial University
York University
University of Toronto
Simon Fraser University
Dalhousie University
etc.


Go through the post in the link below for guides on how you can check for these Professors and their profile etc. before sending your Cold Mails to them

TundeTheHunter:
I do not know what Letter of Introduction is.
BVL - Biometrics Verification Letter
PPR- Original Passport Request

Receipt of BVL indicates that a decision has been made on your application and you should receive that decision soon (usually within 24 hours).

This is why most people who have posted their timelines show receipt of BVL & PPR on the same day.

Thank you very much

Royalty95:
A letter of introduction is sent by IRCC telling you that your application have been approved. It also contains information regarding your travel.

You will get this letter after receiving PPR and your passport have been sent to IRCC for stamping
