Jayne07:

I appreciate your input. But is there really no chance of us getting approved at the same time. What else can we use as home ties. And how much would we both need to declare

Emmane:
Hey guys......


This one na serious question o.... on CIC website, processing time changes every week. At 1st, I used to think that the processing time for that week is applicable to those who applied for that week.

E.g. around late May, with the 1st 2 weeks in June, processing time was 13weeks..... And approaching ending June, July, it turned into 16weeks. Now if applied when processing time was 13weeks (say May ending) does it mean that as we are in July now, my application of 13weeks estimated processing time (as at when I applied in May) will turn into 16weeks (July)??

Pls Gurus, help..... Cuz this is confusing. What are your thoughts??

Voltie:
Medicals passed

Congratulations in advance!

likeababygirl:

You do not have to be married before your family can serve as hometies. Your parents and even siblings can serve as hometies.
Also, the landed properties do not have to be in your name. Your parents landed documents can serve as hometies especially if you are not self sponsored and you are still in your twenties.

Hello likeababygirl, what if you're in your late twenties like 26-29? Will the landed properties of your sponsor still count?

maziude:

Any hiccups where specifically?

Ope100:
To the best of my knowledge, current processing time applies which is 15weeks. Forget about what it was showing back when you applied. cheers

Somebody please help!

My school does not give Transcript by hand but prefers to send directly to foreign school.
And am applying to Centennial College. The College said that I should send the scanned copy of my Transcript and other documents in one PDF file​ to them.

Pls how do I get my Transcript since my school in Nigeria don't give it by hand?

Qadi:


like limit to cash one is supposed to carry and if I need to fill any form?

Emmane:


Why should we just "forget" about it?

If it had no meaning or significance, why did CIC waste their time to be updating it weekly?

Why didn't they just put 15weeks and leave it at that? I remember, there was a time it was 19weeks.

Pls just answer these questions, thanks


Cheers

Your family/ siblings serve as ties to Nigeria. It's not easy for some people to live apart or far away from their family. I saw a GCMS note where the VO was asking where the siblings reside. I deduced that the VO was trying to use the siblings place of residence to determine if the principal applicant will migrate or return home.

So if your siblings are all here, add their drivers license and also state in your SOP that they are all in Nigeria.

MrMarc:


You have a point but i still wont advice anyone to bank SOLEY on siblings and immediate family ONLY as home ties. It is not good enough in my opinion.

Rather talk about family business you will inherit and run that you can't leave here or something similar...

Hey guys I would like to state a current problem me and most of my mates who went to Canada to school 2016 are currently facing. I and my friends got 1 year study permit for post secondary after graduating and get into various universities our study permit and Visas expired so some of came back to Nigeria to renew them and most of us got refused and delayed and are currently missing classes , while others who decided to renew there's in Canada all got approved in less than 2 weeks.
Please do not make the same mistakes that we did, make sure you renew all visas and sturdy permits aboard before you return home for any reason.

ctrlunlimited:
Any potential University of Victoria Postgraduate student in the house ?? Kindly lemme know what you think about applying there for a post graduate course.

MrMarc:


This information can be misleading as this statement isn't completely true...

People who got denied for lack of home tie (Inability to convince the V.O that they would return after completing there program) obviously weren't ophans as they have families.

What is home tie??
"In summary; These are compelling reasons that mandates/persuades or make a person to leave a foriegn land and return to ones home country"

It is your duty to convince the judge (V.O) with facts and evidence before he passes his verdict on your application.

Relationships comes in different ways when to be used as home tie.

1. Your kids, fiance, wife and hubby are strong relationship ties that can compel anyone to come back after studies. "There must be proof" birth certificates, marriage certs e.t.c

2. Your parents becomes a reasonable tie of you can convince the V.O that you are the only person that can take proper care of them as they are old can only be happier when you are around hence you are highly needed to return home and care for them.

3. I don't see any situation where your siblings become a good enough tie. (Don't bank on this alone as home tie pls)

4. Family business (Once it is documented and registered)

Finally as for your parents/sponsors' landed documents, those are not "your" home tie as your parents/sponsors own those property hence i would classify those as financial clout of them being able to foot your bills rather than your home ties.
In simple terms; How does your parents lands compel you to return to Nigeria after your studies??

Thank you.

Why do most Master's degree programs in Canada require someone to get a supervisor first?
For some couple of months now, I've been mailing several profs and doctors regarding a space under them.
Its either there's no available space or I don't receive any response from them
