I don't understand what you mean by that statement.

If you received any "youdonotreply" message, normally 2 (about a update in your app and about a new message in your app) and you are yet to get the POE, then you need to write accra.immigration@international.gc.ca and complain to this effect.

@topebamidele.. this is what I meant..

No I didn't. The last time I got a mail was 28th July, saying 'Your application has been update', and after that I logged in and saw my Application page has been closed and application approved. I just tracked out of curiosity this morning and saw passport ready for collection on 28/07/2015.

That was why I asked if I can go. I'm yet to get a message from VFS for collection either. So like you advised, I will just take some jegaquin and excise patience. Thanks a lot

topebamidele:
Okay bro. Nothing like that in my account yet, not even a message from VFS for collection yet, I just tracked out of curiosity. For lovina, I think she should download the "letter before passport is stamped" she said is in her account, and see. Since I'm yet to receive any message notification, I will wait till weekend.

omemma1:
Having same issue. I didnt get the letter too.
but it seems it'll b sent later.

LOVINA1245:
thanks.. i received d update mail but that poe part aint in my account. will mail cic asap

chrisviral:
Okay.
If you wait till weekend and no message comes in, then you can write to the email above and complain.

But for your passport, you fit travel and go collect ya kpali, it's ready.

topebamidele:
Hello House, I submitted my passport request last Friday (24th July), and got Application approval update on my CIC account on 28th July. Since I didnt get any POE letter or message to come pick up my passport, I tracked on VFS site this morning and saw "Visa application, tracking ID No.201506xxCALASTUxxxx – Your processed passport is ready for collection , on 28/07/2015 at the Canada Visa Application Centre. To know more, please call VAC helpline number or visit VAC website"

Does that mean my passport is ready for collection? What about the POE letter that I'm yet to receive, will it come with it, or should I wait till the normal message is sent? I'm not in Lagos, and will be travelling down for it. Kindly urgently advise on what needs to be done. Thanks

I withdrew cash from an ATM with my GTBANK MasterCard on Sunday. The exchange rate was $155.04 /$1.

TheBae:
If you submitted via paper route, it will come with your package. Don't worry. If you don't see it in the package when you collect it, then be worried.

Shegzy2912:
you should have registered for courses first before you pay your tuition fee.. and for the consent letter, I have no idea about that.. when you register for classes, the number of credit hours per Semester will decide the amount you'll pay. if it 24 credit hours, then you'll have to pay all. and besides, how much is the tuition fee?

ayooluwatoni:
Ahahahah....look at you, 2008 set means I got in 2008! And not that I graduated in 2008! So what dept did you finish from?

TempusQ:
Thanks!!!
I guess you're in Canada and you've tried withdrawing today to confirm that, for the bold words in your post to hold water.
Thank you.

kennykentipsy:

Paper route is better if you have a lot of documents. Otherwise, I don't see a difference (although online applicants claim they can better track their application progress).

Given that you have already paid tuition (for a year? a semester? or the whole program?), your brother-in-law should specify in his letter that he has paid your full tuition for the first year (or semester or whatnot) as a demonstration of his commitment to funding your degree. He would then indicate that the N4m balance is after the tuition payment. Please do attach the sponsor funds transfer receipt as proof that it was he that sent the money (you would also attach the payment receipt from the school). Also make sure the sponsor letter is comprehensive: sponsor should state exactly how much he would give you every year (e.g. "minimum of C$25,000 per year" ), possibly even detailing how or with what frequency he would make the payment; your bro-in-law should also explain exactly why he is sponsoring you given that he is not a direct family member (as in parent or sibling)... pls don't take this part lightly oh!

By the way it is difficult to know if a N4m balance would be ok given that you haven't told us how much your annual expenses are and how long you program is.

This link here from @pchax contains a sample sponsorship letter and affidavit of support. Do not copy it, just use it as a guide and adapt it to your specific situation.

For the school payment receipt: email the bursar's office or student accounts office. They should be able to give you a receipt for the payment, regardless of if it has been applied to your tuition. Such a receipt would only be proof that they received the money, this is all you need. This is what my sister did; we transferred one year's worth of total expenses and they provided a student account receipt. They definitely should be able to provide you with such document.


-Morning bro. yes, a paid a full session's tuition, that's for a year.

-My program's duration is four years, pre-nursing for a year and year two,three and four/final year, four years.

-I spoke with the reg and financial services,they sent what I would call an ''account statement'', detailing how much I have in my student account.

-and, I want to ask something again, My uncle has this insurance policy thing with one insurance company,when he reached one of his insurance officer, she suggested with a huge display of enthusiasm that their company would just arrange something for me and the student visa will be granted sharp sharp.

- as dis woman take talk dis thing, fear catch me, make she no go give me wetin go kill me. instead I should just make do with what I have cos I'm not my uncle's son. I know say my uncle don register him kids name for the company and I wasn't registered, how she wan take do am?

-then again, this SOA of a thing, the ending balance,total debit and total credit that constitutes it should also play a role in stimulating VOs not just the ending balance cos that's why it's called a statement. I know by the time I submit to the time they start screening my application, my uncle must have used up the 4m or at all a minimum of 1m might be left.

-should I just make alternative plan for a fixed deposit?? see if I can deposit like 2M and tell him not to even touch it.

- yes true I should have but lack of appropriate info. I have contacted the student advisor(pre-nursing), she stressed it's always safer to register for courses when the student is in canada. she also talked about how students after online course registrations, ends up not showing up owing to visa struggles.

-yes I also spoke to the school's financial services requesting a proof of payment for tuition yesterday. She said to produce such I have to register for courses,only then can a receipt specifically for tuition b generated.

-from my research yesterday, I'm up for 15 credit hours per semester and 30 credit hours per session/year.

-My tuition fee is c$7369.00, that's for 30 credit hours.

- I have wired approximately c$11000 to my student account.

Hmm another BSc, in Social Work, won't necessarily cause a delay. You will just have to convince the VO in your SOP why you are making this change. You will write about experiences you've had (since finishing your first BSc) that shaped this new passion of yours. If you've done lots of volunteer activities that demonstrate your new passion in social work, then you would include all that in your SOP as well as supporting evidence for same in your application. You would in general talk about the things you have done that demonstrate your passion for social work, and how this new training would help you make a greater impact in Nigeria in a number of areas that you would discuss in the essay. The SOP would have to be very convincing, and I think this is doable.

Thomby2k12:
Good morning my good people. Please I need clarification on my vfs passport status:
I applied via paper route on 19th of June, 2015, received medical call on 13th July 2015, and did the medical on 21st July 2015. I tracked my application on vfs website yesterday in the morning and it said the application was still being processed in Accra.

When I checked it again this morning, it says your processed passport has been dispatched...on 29/07/2015, but I haven't received any approval mail.

Please what could that mean?

LOVINA1245:
