Hi great people in the house. I salute d gurus o!

Please, I ve 9 years work experience, 4 yrs from Company A, previous employer & 5 yrs with Company B, my present employer.

I want to claim point for d 9 yrs (though d points wud be same with 3 yrs) and I don't want my present employer to know what i'am processing, hence I won't be able to get reference letter.

Like we've said before, police report is not required for study permit application unless the Visa Officer specifically requests for it.

Arcayo:


You are in the wrong thread bro....Express entry thread is where you need to ask the question but i think I can try to answer you..
It is better for you to get reference letter from the two companies, you don't need to tell your present employer it's for Immigration purpose to protect your job in case it didn't work in your way and also the reference can be "To whom" not necessarily address to anybody. You can tell your boss you need to register with you professional body and you need reference letter stating the cic recommendations..
Hope dis help

I don't know why you think police report ain't necessary unless visa officer specifically requests for it. So visa officer will call you on phone, please brother so so n so, can you bring your police report, if they need another document they'll also call you to bring it.
For everyone running their application listen, Nothing is necessary to submit and everything is necessary to submit. Go to cic website and read up documents to submit and provide every document that you think will get you your TRV, don't come here again to ask if this document is required or not. Submit what will get your Trv approved. Some submit few documents like my oga GeneralSnipper and get Trv approved, some submit every document like my madam Team12 and still receive their Trv. So it all depends on you and your God. The worst aspect is that if you are submitting through paper route during your pre-submission stage. If they discover any document that's required and it's not there, they won't complain or ask you to go and bring it, they'll just submit it for you like that. So be wise o.
Finally, most questions here have been answered before now. Please try and read through previous posts and threads, it'll help you a lot. Thanks. Please all these are my personal opinion. No attack me ooh.

Please how did you link your paper application to online ?

Hi Everyone!

opsyF:
Hello,
please for those who recently submitted their application via paper route, how much was the application fee?
Also did you address the envelope you kept all the documents you submitted in?

tarktmarkto:
Hi Everyone!

I am completely new here and also to Canadian Immigration procedures but will try to make things simple.

I applied and got an offer to study Project Management in Post Graduate Certificate Program. The offer letter came in 4th of April, 2016 during which i was still serving the country (NYSC). i passed out on the 14th of the same month and started gathering documents required for visa application. After passing out, I notified a friend whom I've known for over 6 years and he gave me a job in his company as the Senior IT Admin (this is because he knows my capabilities as i have been providing IT solutions for him over the years). He is not a Nigerian but he has been in Nigeria for over 30 years running his late father's construction company.

Now these are some facts in no particular order -
1. I did a diploma program (Diploma in Java) at NIIT in 2011
2. I graduated from Middlesex University UK in 2014 and majored Information Technology and Business Information System (ITBIS) but I failed to collect police character report before I left (wasn't really necessary at the time).
3. I rounded up my NYSC this year
4. My employer has agreed to give me 10 months to study (without pay of course) and also, provide me with all supporting documents that will ease the visa application process (Letter of Recommendation, Sponsorship, Employment Verification, SOA)
5. My employer is currently not in the country as he left for the burial rights of his mum but assured me he'll return by June 13th.
6. I have paid my complete school fees and have at most 6,000CAD in my personal account ( this will certainly mature before resumption which is 6th of September 2016)
7. Before I left for UK in 2013, I registered a Limited liability company in my name but I haven't used the company for business of any sort yet. Only have a bank account in the company name with less than 100,000NGN.
8. I don't have any landed property neither do my parents.
9. I did Computer Project Management as a course in my first Degree so to an extent, I can relate to Project Management in general.

Questions:
1. What are the some disadvantages of using either the paper or online route?
2. Since my sponsor is same as my employer, does he swear an affidavit?
3. My employer returns 13th June, do I have enough time to process my visa or I should defer to January but start the processing as soon as he signs the documents?
4. The fact that my employer has agreed to give me study leave, is it enough alone to convince the VO that I would return OR couple the earlier with my existing non-functional company?
5. I don't have a police certificate from the UK and I left 3 months before the expiration of my study visa (immediately after graduation) is there any reason to worry?


Any answer will be invaluable.
Thanks so much.

the best,have employment there than saying Unemployed is a direct RED FLAG,that means in ur refusal letter you will see on the ✅ box, "current employment situation"..if one dosen't have employment after a long gap from finishing NYSC.its better you dont apply cos you MUST be denied..if not the refusal term "current employment situation" and "personal assets and financial status" will be ✅ on ur refusal letter..unless u v another alternative means of explaining and convincing the VO what you have been doing with evidential documents

michV:
walk in to VFS with ur N37530/N37560 . Hand in ur application to them,they ll put it in their own envelope/pack bag. Hope ur study permit barcode page is of 2copies? I hope ur also filled and signed the VFS consent form if u didnt,they will still give you when you enter their office

slabyuk:
Good Evening all. I will like to know if its possible to send your passport via courier to the visa processing office (not vfs) along with your passport request letter and have the visa stamped and sent back to you. Take for instance,all applications in middle east are processed in Abu Dhabi,Dubai. I applied online in a middle east country,did biometrics there,did medicals upfront and i intend traveling to Nigeria while my application is being processed, when i get passport request letter while in Nigeria, can i have my passport along with the passport request letter be sent by DHL to Abu Dhabi office for my visa to be stamped and have it sent back to me in Nigeria? Thank you

Damie4real:
I paid N37,530. The VFS officials at the counter will aid you to cross-check all the documents you present through the document check-list, after which they will give you a form to fill, package the documents with your passport inside their bag, then direct you where you'll do your biometrics. The woman for counter think say I go leave my change for am,N470. Na 70 buks I come pity her with, if you see the kin eye wey she look me as I demanded for my balance eh..., me sef no blink as I dey ask am... Lol. Goodluck!

opsyF:

thanks, I guess I ll make a photocopy of the bar code page I printed then. If by Vfs consent form u mean the questionnaire form I ve filled it.

Team16:


Since you are yet to travel why don't you visit there office and have a chat with them in order to find out how things are done. I believe they're in the best position to advise you on what to do instead of seeking Epp here. I doubt it if anyone can answer you, however, if anyone has been under this situation before feel free to Epp. But bro my opinion is do the needful. Call them, email them. Canadian VO, ain't on this thread. Everything you read here are all about experiences, perception, exposure,feelings etc. It may/may not stand. If police can be your friend, VO will be your sibling. @All, IMO.

michV:
there is a difference btwn vfs questionaire,vfs consent form and study permit questionaire..i guess u understand?

titialayo:
