Bioben:
Application is 13wks now no medical call.....hmmmmm

the new processing time now is 12weeks which was updated recently and my application can never exceed more than 12weeks and i wouldn't send case specific enquiry to them..i don't why people are afraid of doing so when they clearly stated on their website to tender concerning issues using CSE. They won't deny you if ur application merited it,rather it an avenue to raise up ur application from where they dumped it, review and get back to you in no distant time.

@Bioben
Na wa oooo going to 12 weeks No medical just wondering kilode

michV:

One cannot say. Depending on the number of application at that time.

My advise is to go there as early as you can so that you can get a tag number. If possible, be the one to open their office...lol

But its something one can do in a single day. Give or take, 2hours.

Like I said earlier, depending on the volume of application for that day.

***Appreciate***

The biometric won't take up to 24 hrs, though it depends on when you get there , the number of people on queue and you having all necessary documents if there's any. On the average u'll spend like 45 - 1hr getting you thumb prints, image capture and data capture, day's all they need from you

@kristien4 Lagos is closer.

That's not entirely true, I know of a fellow that used a doctored First Bank for Australian study permit, the Australian embassy in SA wrote back, that checks showed the account name and number existed but transactions had been altered.
So embassy can request more than just name and number. I wil upload the letter from SA soon

This is a different scenario. Your friend or "fellow" used a fraudulent or "doctored" bank document. Of course the bank has the right to set aside their privacy obligation to expose the fraudulent act. What a shame.

Hello good people of maple land. I hail ooo.
I am kinda new here and I like to get your help in applying to a Canadian college to study a PGD or PGC program in any computer science related course. I have an HND in computer science.
Here are my requests
1. schools that offer such PGD or PGC program with less tuition fee deposits about $500 or so as I am not so buoyant.
2. how can I get scholarship funding too

Thanks in advance for your candid advice and directive. I'm sorry if I'm asking behind schedule. Thanks again

lol.... how can abuja be closer to benin city when lagos is just 3 hours away?

Good day all,
Please on the document checklist provided by cic for me, there wae no police character report. Is the police character report mandatory? Secondly how do i go about getting it in lagos?

I know vfs send mails when passport is ready for collection but I was surprised to get a text message from them since dey sent to my mail already

kristien4:

Lagos is closer and I think better too. Its your choice tho. You can leave early, if its public transport then you can use either Muyi line, God is good motors or Edegbe motors going to Ajah Lagos. Its easier to get to the visa application Centre from there. Unless you are cool with traveling @nite i don't think you can return that same day.

please my fellow nairalanders, who knows how long the admission process for PGD in Carleton University takes? I submitted all my documentations in first week of june for winter 2017 intake.pls reply ASAP... thanks

kristien4,

As an addendum, flying from Benin to Lagos is under an hour just in case you want to opt for that.

emma4eva:
Western University finally gave me admission, I have already applied for trv using ryerson University admission for fall semester. What are your plans? Are you still beginning September?

Got admitted to western against September too. Are you going to consider western after successful TRV. I'm also going for Meng Civil & Environmental Engineering (structural engineering option). lets discuss bro.

It's advisable you include it, for it is better they don't need it and see it, than for them to need it and don't see it.

Police reports are gotten from the CID HQ in Alagbon, Lagos. They need your fingerprints, so you need to be there in person.

trust me Abuja canada VAC doesn't even have crowd not to talk of less crowd. When i did mine,i walked in @12Noon and i was immediately attended to as there were no persons.less than 35mins i left the place. You can opt for Lagos if you are considering travel distance

download your local/lagos visa office instruction form thats the checklist that contains the police report.i feel the one you downloaded is the general CIC checklist

Father lord for how long will i continue waiting on CIC.I hardly concentrate on whatever i do both home/work. My mind and time are always on mycic/vfs tracking site and my gmail.i have never experienced HBP but now IRCC has made me encounter it.i can't even make further plans on this journey cos of CIC style of doing things.father lord restore my happiness and let this long wait later turn to joy. If my country and government better wetin for concern me concern canny?

money to expand my biz is just looking at me in my acct, am so handicapped right now. Don't want to dive fully in then dey approve my visa. I will now be looking for who will manage it or prolly sell it to someone at cheaper price. This visa thing takes too much time ni o, someone's fate will just be left hanging By the way, I just I just remembered my dad has 4 different land deeds and a running pension acct which I didn't submit with my application. I only submitted Fixed Deposit account statement of about 10m. Is there a way I can upload those docs?

Thanks @Favour
I have done that before requesting for additional info from great people here. just that I didn't get a good result as I am considering choosing a better program that can convince the any vo of my intention. most of the institutions require a deposit before issuing an unconditional offer of acceptance and like I said I'm not so buoyant just trying to figure out wat to do maximally.
if you have a better idea drop it off then someone else who is not courageous enough to ask this simple question might be blessed by it too. You know this is a long thread or big forum for a newbie to explore at times.
help. if u can and encourage others to help too...(we will not like a vo thinking everyone is fantastic all the time) I'm humble OK
Thanks

I think dat we are omitting something here. Is it not the processing time given on the website as at the time one applied or the one there now that we would use to monitor the application? For those that submitted by paper, transit time from and to Accra from lag should also be considered

leave all of the people on here that tik their own opinion is true ..if they like let their sponsor remove all the cash in his/her account and their VO unfortunately goes for verification ..then e go clear for their eye ...My point still remains ..its Berra to be safe than sorry ..if u can at least plead with ur sponsor ..let there be reasonable cash kept during d visa process ...irrespective of what and what not the embassy verifies . I used to tik like this until I applied for my Swedish visa and the embassy called my bank and wrote me that my account balance was altered and I needed to pay for my hotel and ticket to and fro for my daughter and I ..after this ,that's when I got the visa ...so I am very sure that they can verify whatever ...case closed .

You can't send additional documents unless u are asked to ,but don't worry ..just ask God that u get ur TRV with d documents u submitted .10M no be beans .Though there was someone on here that applied for a PHD and said he sent additional documents to them , but don't really know how he did that ..u could go to d post during d middle of June to check his update .
