Please, how long does it take CBN to approve Form A so that you can go to the bank of your choice and pay?

I filled the form since 4 days ago and haven't heard anything from CBN....

j

My school didn't request for deposit, so I didn't pay anything.

Recently, many say it takes a month or 3 weeks for Form A approval

Please I am trying to reschedule my appointment at IOM Abuja but it is going through. I have sent them mails but they have not replied, I have also tried calling but none of the numbers on the website is going through. What can I do?

Gracias

Yes, there is a lot of prospect with Business Analytics.
Remember there is a difference between Business Analytics and Business Analysis...just so that you dont use both words interchangeable in your SOP.

The aim of business analytics is data and reporting—examining past business performance and forecasting future business performance. On the other hand, the business analysis focuses on functions and processes— determining business requirements and suggesting solutions.

I was not vaccinated as at when I did my medical. I passed as well.
However, on what Canada expects from nternational travellers arriving Canada. Read this

Chubbyface:
Must one be vaccinated to enter Canada, I am asking because I got a medical request for me and my family(already booked). Just want to gather more info.

If you have not uploaded the physically signed form, upload the one you printed from but if not no worries

Tymally:
Thanks for your response, unfortunately I did otherwise. Any idea on how to correct this?

Ketima:
Now I want to give a little advise to us all. Do that which you believe will work for you. Many of you here knows me well but note it that no one knows it all. We all learn from each other.

Today I got my wife's SOWP, just 3 months after submission even though I'm still in Nigeria. Sometimes we get adviced based on others peoples situations or event, but truth be told, things changes with time. When I got my study visa, family application refusals were high, hence we tend to advice to apply alone, then apply for spouse and kids(if any) when you arrive in Canada. In the past few weeks, we have noticed that family applications are recieving approval, those applying for diploma even when they already have Bsc are getting approval, those applying for PGD even after Masters are getting approvals.

So, What that matters is let your application be top notch. Avoid any loophole. Be your own VO. Review your application yourself and leave the rest to God's grace.

So, I advice henceforth, if you're a family, apply together, worst scenario, it will be rejected and you people can refire again. If you're applying for a degree lower than what you already had, ensure that your prove beyond doubt why you're going for such course. Nothing is impossible in this Canada journey.

For SOWP, then we were advised to wait till you get to Canada before applying. But with the recent delays in SOWP application, applicants are waiting 8 months + before getting decisions. So if you applied alone and got approval, you may as well work toward submitting your spouse (family) application because you never can tell, it may even get approved before you leave so that both can leave together.

And again for those not coming forth to encourage others with there timeline, is not that you're compelled to do it or people beg or attack you, is just to help the newbies learn vital document's to submit as not all will have time to read from the beginning. I personally have 3 people I helped applied for and got approval this month and I told them to come share their testimony here to encourage others and they promised but still hasn't. But It was still from sharing of timeline that they came to me to help them in their applications. So please let's do well to help each other because this journey has no end until we all become citizens. At any stage, you will need help and this nairaland forum is top notch for such.

For my wife SOWP, I will still share it here for others to learn and as well in the SOWP forum.

We're all doing well and God will bless us all.

Lianna2020 you motivated me to apply for her early and I'm grateful I did.

Go there in person.

Very early.

So guys, here is my timeline.

This journey started in 2020 when I applied to University of New Brunswick, but I wasn't admitted. I wasn't really serious about it then because business was going on fine, that's why I applied to UNB alone.

Around April 2021, when dollar issues hit our business so hard, I lost a lot of money and it started to look like the journey will never be possible again. I discuss with my siblings and we knew it's time to make move and leave this country, because exchange rate means a lot in our Importation business. I decided to prioritize this Canada journey and started making a lot of research and reading on nairaland.

First of all, I decided to apply to schools supported by Mpower, because 7 figures monthly income has dropped by almost 60%. I contacted many potential supervisors and one from University of Victoria fixed a date for interview. She accepted to be my supervisor and I applied around October 2021. I also applied to University of Manitoba. By February 2022, when I didn't hear from Uvic and Manitoba I quickly applied to Fanshawe, Conestoga and NSCC.

March 2022, admissions started rolling in:
University of Victoria - Accepted
University of Manitoba - Rejected
Fanshawe College - Accepted
Conestoga College - Accepted
NSCC - Accepted

I opted for University of Victoria because I have a supervisor, no tuition deposit required and it is a Master's Program. I didn't submit my visa application for about 2 months because I was waiting for funding letter. During this period, I started gathering documents and writing my SOP. When everything was set I contacted Makano to review my SOP. He gave me a thumbs up, but emphasize on writing it as formal letter and did some editing, removing the sub-headings, turning it into paragraphs. I respect him so much for being calm. He sent voice notes to me to explain why he did some things and assured me it's the best. "I have been doing it like that and I've been getting positive results with my clients". That was actually his words. Thank you Makano, I respect you Bro

Big Congratulations on your approval

You are welcome Chief.... Thanks for the word of prayer..APPRECIATE..

In my case, I reprinted another 4 months statement because the breakfast came 6 months after, so my sponsor’s account had matured well by the time I got the refusal, I also got a gift deed of 5m in my personal account to cover my expenses. I had also paid my complete school fees.

Samlolly28:
Please gurus in the house if my application was denied solely on financial situation in my reapplication am I going to submit the same documents I did the first time or I will submit documents showing improved financial situation with a letter or explanation. I need clarity on this guys, especially from those who were denied initially and got PPR on another attempt. Thanks guys.
