Please, serious advice needed.

I was delayed earlier on the basis of not having insufficient funds to cater for my tuition and living expenses. I used my uncle's bank statement which had a little more than enough and an affidavit.

For my second try..
I am using the statement of my mum, her investment papers, lands of property and affidavit. I am also adding my new sponsor's statement of more than enough (he's my Uncle), his business licenses and affidavit, biographical page of his passport thou he and my mum have different sir names and an impressive letter of sponsorship.

Is there anything else you think I shld add to these documents? Response needed asap. Thank you.

Hello house, I submitted my paper application for pdg at Niagara college on 25th of May and did my biometrics immediately, I didn't get any acknowledgment text or email from vfs and when I checked my application status through their website I got "Your processed passport has been forwarded to the Canada Visa Office, ACCRA on 25/05/2016.To know more, please call VAC helpline number or visit VAC website", is there anyway way I can know the real status of this application because I am seriously waiting for medicals email and I want to be sure they haven't been sending emails to a different address from the one on my application O and this is the 7th week after submission O ............

I didn’t pay tuition fees before applying because the school did not require it before issuing an unconditional offer. I also didn’t get a study leave letter/letter of introduction from my work place, but to prove home ties I reassured the VO in my letter of explanation that I would definitely come back. I did not also include my personal bank statement. All the documents I submitted were photocopies except my parent’s bank statements and the letters address directly to the embassy.

I think this covers most of what I submitted. I hope it is of use to someone. Thank you guys a lot.

Congratulation Rheginarh[quote author=rheginarh post=4750 it was approval mail

rheginarh:
My beautiful nairaland family, got a mail from cic now to check my account, i had checked it this morng tho, the 5mins i used in logging in was d longest 5mins of my life, i saw a mail in my account, it was approval mail, applied paper may 4, will upload my documents later. God is indeed good

Congratulations!! I'm very happy for you.

I'm also trying to secure admission into Umanitoba for a masters program, but I'm having challenges on how to get a supervisor. Could you please help with tips on how to prepare a decent 'statement of research intent'?

I wouldn't mind if you could share yours with me.
e-mail: almubby@gmail.com.

Thanks in advance!

bosypumpin:
Rhegina, I am very happy for you. congratz

On a lighter note, where is that wonderful NLander who speculated that approval mails are usually within a particular day of the week?
I hope he mentioned Wednesday sha?
#You go fear speculations#

Hello @bosypumpin, I actually got to know those facts by going through the threads. You can check from part 1 to this part. I mentioned that approval mail drops on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I am sure the ladies got their mail today (Wednesday). If there is anyone who got a medical call or a refusal, it must have been on a Monday or Friday, rarely Thursday's. You can calculate it using the @rheginarh and @aishate Success stories . Check the dates on a calendar. Thanks

Congrats to the new TRV holders

oothoney:


Good analysis by him and if he is right.

simply means, application reviews are done on Monday's and Friday's
thats when they decide to ask for medicals or sent refusal.

@oothoney. I didn't just conclude on it. I made a thorough research about it. If There are people who still do not believe ,then let the wait till they get a message and try compare the days with the post.

May we all hear a good news as soon as possible .

Carter001:
I think he has a good theory about the whole TRV shii , 9ce 1 bro , I actually checked @aishate's profile and saw that she got her med mail on Friday too.....let's all hope we get our respectful Meds/Approval mail again on Friday......

@carter001 You can also discover more secrets about the whole CIC thing. Just take your time to study people's application stories.

March 23 and you?
Ours is the next good news IJN
Don't loose faith sis

I got a mail from CIC yesterday...it was a refusal.
The VO handling my file must have been high on some very cheap substance cause he said I had insufficient funds and my travel history.
Anyways that's his/her opinion and he/she is entitled to it. A BIG thank you to thesoj and khalesi for your time in guiding me through the application process. I have no intention of reapplying guys so there is NO NEED to throw a pity party or shell out words of wisdom.

I wish all those still expectant of TRV the best in their application.

Have a great day. I'm out!!!

hi, sorry about that. what's the plan now since you're not reapplying? "

Good morning House,
Please who knows abt the rating of Memorial University of Newfoundland. I've read very terrible ratings on d internet on HW the profs. are nt friendly n helpful, and poorly its certificate is rated in Canada. However, the pull i hv towards the sch is its "ridiculously" very low tuition. Newfoundland is also terribly cold, for this reason I dnt seem to care much.

Pls, seniors in Canada, is MUN a gd choice?

pls good people, help

Hello house, finally pick up my passport it was a refusal (insufficient) fund with 15m and av even pay part of my tuition fee 9CD receipt which I use 2 apply, I just feel they aren't giving PGD and PGC approval. I was even called for medicals plus av even booked my flight so painful but I know God has a reason. Pls house any1 going for PGD or PGC that has gotten approval

Sorry about the delay bros...

Just Insufficient funds? and u have paid 9k CAD? After Medicals

Thats serious..

But then again, U paid for ur flight without a TRV or u just booked for itinery purposes?

It will get better.. Dont Give up!!!

Goodmorning house! Before you start rising PGC/PGD applicants HBP, first who was ur sponsor? Because @Jayne07 that got refused also paid her school fees first semester/part if i recalled well.Her sponsor as she narrated was a family friend which she aslo presented it in that manner to the VO.to me,the VO doesn't find such sponsor to be credible in their eyes to make such huge financial commitment without you getting stranded in canada/abandoning ur studies to work for money in which some factors might also be considered by the VO on the Sponsor's dependants/family too which will also dwell in same acct statement presented for their living in Nigeria and other incured/miscellaneous expenses. moreover if a sponsor is not ur parents/husband/ sister/bother/employer who stands to gain from ur study with a study leave letter attached to show a bond with same employer, then sufficient/convincing proof is needed not just narration. Waiting to hear who ur sponsor was?also is the closing balance 15m or just the credit balance?

My father was my sponsor with over 15m in his account and I av a fixed deposit of 1m in my own account. And yes it was just insufficient fund

sleekytee:

.

Does that mean,no PGC/PGD applicants will be admitted this year,i think is a wrong assumption.....please share your documents submitted with us,and be prepared to re-apply.
