Keep it very well. Scan, send a copy to your school and the CIC when you send in your application for TRV. You can use in many places.
The code can be used many times for 1 given candidate except things have changed.

Bioben:

Thanks pls where do I send the PIN scratch card of WAEC to?

I now see why someone wanted to change his moniker to Team24 !

TempusQ:
Hope after securing the TRV for your hubby, you'll tell every one the secret behind your uncommon system.Yours was 23 days for TRV,Now, your hubby is 13 days for medicals.Seriously, the Grace is much, I keep thinking on how you bank it.
All the same, you're blessed... CONGRATULATION!!!

As much as we cannot remove the God factor, I think it is pretty obvious why things are working for her... From little I gathered here, she be Efikko... Have you heard of the term Brain drain? There are some people all these developed countries cannot just afford to ignore...Upon all the nerds they have in first world countries, they still poach and recruit form developing countries..They pick Naija's best and give them mouth offering offers cos they don't even want them coming home...And as Nigeria doesn't appreciate or give room for improvement, who will look back?

Morale of my Epistle? Make yourself an asset! Even if you are denied visa, your school will fight to have you!!

Congrats Team12! Your family is blessed...
*Back to school search*

You know i was actually discussing this with a friend here today.. One thing I have observed over time here is most canadians are very lazy, they dont wanna go to school. All they know is smoking, coking parties and whatever. They have a responsive government that takes care of there mess to a large extent. Canada truly needs people because they are densely populated despite being the second largest country in the world by landmass. As much as Canada wants people, they are highly selective. They dont just want every tom dick and harry. They need raw talent, high flyers, first among equals. And once they see that prospect going by how strong your application is, TRV becomes easier, schooling becomes easier, you go just dey chop grants and fundings up and down. They will even pay your flights and hotel bills for conferences in other countries. As a matter of fact, you may not pay a dime till you have your Phd and live reasonably well without having to take any other job except you are bored. Having invested so much in your talent, do you think they gonna let you leave just like that? It is impossible!! I am with you on this!!

@adenikky07
Did you submit a Letter of Explanation (aka Statement of Purpose)? If "no", it is likely that the VO was not convinced about your motivations given that your undergraduate field of study (Human Resources) is different from your current occupation (Accountant) which is also different from the course you are planning to go for (International Business Management). This is often a reason for a "Purpose of Visit" delay.

I would suggest you write a convincing letter of explanation that clarifies your motivations for going to Canada given your prior study and current occupation. The content of this letter should address how long you plan on staying in Canada, how the diploma would help you realize your goals in Nigeria, etc. You have to stylishly convince the VO that you will come back to Naija after your program.

As per the "family ties in Canada and country of residence" reason, I'm not sure why the VO would tick this reason if you don't have family in Canada; do keep in mind though that once the VO has a big doubt about your application they sometimes just tick many reasons for denial. I suspect that if you write a strong SOP addressing all the issues, your chances would be much higher. If you have a big family in Naija, please somehow allude to that in your SOP.

Also, make sure you get someone to read your SOP before you submit your next application. Additionally, if you don't have a strong enough reason to convince the VO about your planned "International Business Management" course, then I would urge you to pick another course that you can more easily justify.

It's a clear message, first one was directly from Accra informing dispatch while second is from vsf confirming it is on ground for pick up.
