you dont need to worry boss, since you have submitted the important letters. but i will advice you keep the "Annual official fund breakdown" letter once it is out because cic can be so funny at times, despite the fact that i attached my funding letter the vo in charge of my application still went ahead to request for an evidence of having paid my tuition for the 1st year,Source of fund for my living xpenses and also bank reference letter. Incase cic later request for a similar document then you can present the "Annual official fund breakdown"letter as evidence. no worries boss, ur trv will be approved without any request for an additional doc by his grace. Enjoy!

Actually the letter am expecting is an "Annual official fund breakdown" letter. My department gave me an initial offer letter stating the funding, then sent the same letter to grad school who den issue letter of acceptance. after i accepted my offer, then my department again sent me an offical letter of acceptance stating that i have accepted my offer and started my funding again. then said the break down letter will be issued mid summer. so its 3 letters i submitted all in all in my application.

Thanks ayoola03. Be sure i will keep in touch with you on a close marking level based on this UWO pple. but will always post so every reads and benefits.

Markab:
How would you justify someone that apply for Sept 2017 last November and was admitted for January 2017?
Could that not be supervisor's influence probably due to fund availability? Well, no need to argue much on supervisor's influence on admission, to clarify your doubt and uncertainties, the department had long issued her a new funding letter while the graduate school was not even aware of that. While she await a new letter of acceptance, she contacted the sgs and was told the department is solely responsible for admission/deferral request, once they hear from the department, she would be issued a new letter of acceptance. Schools are distinct and have different process or admission policies...as Ayoola03 stated earlier, so it was! She was practically specific and not theoretically generic.

Thank you

Admissions For the graduate student is two pronged. Admissions in the academic department and allocation of funding happens first. Then it goes to school of graduate studies for approval. So yes possible that academic department issued new documents and funding without the knowledge of the school of graduate studies. Only a matter of time before they know though, as everything has to pass through them for final approval. The supervisor does not allocate funds, rather he sits on a committee of his department responsible for the funding and can fight for you there. Hope that helps! Yes it operates a little differently from school to school, but not by a major difference.

How long does a student visa takes to be issued, because I applied on 4th of April and all i have seen when tracking my application is that my processed visa has been forwarded to Accra..
It's been 3 months i applied. And I got admitted in acadia university by the way.

Boss, we are both saying the same thing. Supervisors can not admit but they can definitely recommend one for admissions. Ghaskiya

I didn't say processing time is 7months ooo I said December to now is 7months....

bluegirl080115:

For now it's 13 weeks minus transit time between vac and embassy.. Although transit time can't be more than 5 business days. So start counting one week after submitting your paper application. Better still link your application to online using gckey. You will be informed more accurately there than tracking with vfs code. You never can tell maybe a decision has been made but be hopeful and pray. Although some applications takes more than that before a decision is made based on verification and other related issues better known to the visa officer. but 13 weeks is normal. If it's more than that, my guy begin to pray and make decree about it .. #oneLove

Thanks man.. How do I link it online, i have tried it before, because and they said i should provide bank bla bla bla

Actually, he mentioned that his application is a peculiar one and that he has been communicating with the embassy and also, additional documents were requested.

So there is no problem whatsoever with the length of 7 months. This is just a rare and perculiar case. Most applications do not take this long. Just a few exceptions.

After mailing documents to a school, does the school send back whatever reply that may be needed through the same courier service one employed or they use the normal Nigerian post office? I got a previous letter from my school through post office.

bros please I need your help. I have a friend now that got delayed due to purpose of visit. He has been working in a bank for more than 4years now and he did his first degree in chemical engineering and had a masters admission in chemical also. All his document make sense except for the purpose of visit now. What do you think he should now to avert that problem.
Thanks....cc @Austinepee, @mazuide and others.

Omo, you know I no b guru. That purpose thing no b joke. Except your friend is the person I know, I have someone with similar profile that got purpose too.

We need the elders to come in and help.

Thesoj et.al. You are highly needed. Purpose is becoming a big deal that SOP can't handled. What do you think we are missing?

What is his intended program/level of study?

Atleast the have been an update to your application. It is a progress. Some people haven't had any. So still hold in there and be hopefull things turn out well sooner.

Austinpee4:

What is his intended program/level of study?

M.eng chemical engineering. His first degree is also in chemical eng

wealth360:
M.eng chemical engineering. His first degree is also in chemical eng

Now here you have the issue!

Undergraduate-Chemical engineering


Work experience/current activity - bank


Proposed program-Chemical engineering.

Like we often mention here, the proposed program MUST reflect addition to CURRENT activity. In his case, he hasn't been working as a chemical engineer but in a financial institution. The clearly is no need for a master degree in chemical engineering as 4 years is good enough to have a career in the banking industry.

If he finished his degree in chemical engineering recently, he probably would have had a good chance of an approval as it is an advancement of what he studied academically and his purpose would be considered a pure academic exercise.

Your friend's profile demands a PROFESSIONAL advancement with his intended program and not his undergraduate study. It will clearly show that a master degree will add to his current career and this also will show career progression and advancement. It is convincing this way that he is a genuine student.

So it's either he goes for a program in his role in the bank or show other achievements(research, journals, conferences etc) in chemical engineering since he long left school that will show that a master in chemical engineering is going to significantly help him moving forward in his current endeavour.

Untill he really shows he needs the master of chemical engineering, i'm afraid, he may likely still get refused for purpose of visit if he apply with the master of chemical engineering admission.
