Good morning and happy Sunday to you all.
Am new here. Please I need help on how to apply for admission for masters and undergraduate program in Canadian university.
What are the required documents I need for both program.
I wish to start the process now
Thanks

Hello o, Does it mean it takes about a year to hear Feedback from CIC? Cos I'm not getting o. If this is the case, is it safe to start VISA process before admission is granted in order to start school timely?

Austinpee4:

It is on few cases that application would exceed the processing time stipulated by CIC. Normally, most application are processed and a final decision made within the processing time. So it shouldn't be anything scary. If you intend to apply, apply as early as possible with a complete application meeting CIC's requirement for a study permit.

BTW, there is no way you will start the visa process without being offered admission. You will need the offer letter from the school to apply for a study permit.

Thanks. Fear don grip me as I saw you stated that there are still people waiting since 2016.

It wasn't me actually and besides, the case mentioned is one of the rare cases. Does not apply to all applications.

Hello gurus,
I was denied base on:
1.insufficient fund (my sponsor left 25,000dols and 4m naira on his USD and naira accounts respectively and there's much inflow and outflow)

2.purpose of visit
3.travel history

Pls guru, I was given admission to study PGD project management, I studied HND in microbiology. Hope it's in line? Could that b part of d reasons for denial?

I have received another offer 4 January intake,have paid part of d first semester tuition fee, can I still apply to this,dis month septemeber @vfs? Hope it's not late

guzenaira:


And what Letter will you provide from the school to the VO for TRV?

Don't get me wrong, Canadian TRV is getting tougher by the day and it's been like that for a very long time now. The only changes is that people are now focusing on Canada and makes the application much for them which brings about the weekly fluctuations in processing time.

The best thing to do is apply early and make sure to put up a very tight application, also make sure you tell it to God in prayer if you believe Him. Although those whose application has taken longer time did the same but God knows best.

Do your best and Let God do it at the appointed time.

Do not panic!!

Please be careful with requests for someone to help you make payments, while you payback conveniently. If most of y'all will remember @canadiannurse bashing one moniker '@john2017' for offering to help anyone with payment of foreign fees(application fee, tuition fee, e.t.c.) easily. I actually vouched for @john2017 then cause he helped with my Humber College Application fee payment then while i paid him the equivalent in naira. Here is the gbege now on myHumber account after paying my tuition deposit of $7,405.50 my balance is $7,300.50;

Account Balance: -$7,300.50

Sep 14, 2017 - Wire Transfer CAD 20170913 - $7,405.50
Jul 06, 2017 - Penalty for Returned Payment - $30.00
Jul 06, 2017 - International Program App-CHG - $75.00
Jun 12, 2017 - International Program App-PMT - $75.00
Jun 12, 2017 - International Program App-CHG - $75.00

I am just sounding this out immediately so you won't fall victim. I am not entirely sure if @john2017 and his padi applied for return of payment cause have not been able to get to the international center on phone but if na wetin happen, i don lose my money($75 + penalty) and integrity(Humber go don brand me shady).

hi all, i just submitted my application but realised that because i didn't respond 'yes' to the question,'will you be applying for a family member?'; the application i ended up filling and submitting online is actually a single application not a family application. please is there a way to correct this? my intention was to go for studies together with my children- my hubby was going to accompany us just to settle in, then return back to Nigeria to continue work. i really didn't want to wait till i get mine before applying for theirs. i tried to start all over to see if i'll be able to link my 'already submitted application' with theirs but from the questionnaires given , the system is obviously prompting me to make a fresh application for study permit for myself then my accompanying family will then be part of it.....which is impossicant...

or should i do a paper application for them? then link it to my application? how possible is that? i don't know o just asking... please useful contributions will be highly appreciated... thanks....

bronze25:

@austinpee4 please can you help me review my SOP. Thanks

mightyola:
Please if your sponsors live and work abroad (U.S and U.K). Must they provide the sworn affidavit of sponsorship?

Hello All.

Kindly pardon me for this long post. I've been an ardent follower of this thread for over a year, however i've been silent on my application. I have applied twice and denied on both occasions for different reasons. I feel it's time i come out openly so that i can get all possible support i can get, Here is a summary of my app.

1st app:
Applied Sept 30, 2016
Denied 8 weeks after in Nov, 2016.
Proposed prog: Masters in Network Technology
Undergraduate: B.Eng in Elect Engr(2013)
NYSC (2014)
Between 2014 and 2015, worked briefly in a school where i taught maths but didnt include it in my profile because but enrolled for a Networking training btw 2015 and 2016. Passed the certification exam (CCNA) in May, 2016. Was able to get a document from the institute i had the training where it was stated the period i had the training with them and also that i started an unpaid internship after the training and my certification exam.

Docs submitted:
All CIC docs.
Upfront medical
Bachelors degree and transcript.
Resume
Admission letter
Sponsor's letter
Cert from institute i did networking training where it was stated that i did training with them and also had unpaid internship afterwards with them even as at the time i put in my application.
CCNA certificate (an international networking certification exam). Got certified after the training in May, 2016.
Siblings' and parent's birth certs
police report
Sponsor's (brother) docs: (tax clearance. introduction letter from employer, SOA with good inflow and outflow, Land docs, birth cert showing same parents, international passport data page).

Reasons for first refusal: Insufficient fund (the 2nd and 3rd boxes were ticked)
I applied for GCMS file and it stated that "d applicant is being sponsored by third party. limited evidence provided t show the relationship btw applicant and sponsor. Based on the evidence provided, I am not satisfied that applicant has sufficient available funds for tuition and ukpeep during first year of studies in CA".

To tackle this in my 2nd application: Sponsor paid tuition for a year and also transferred an equivalent of 10k CAD to my personal account. Also , did affidavit of sponsorship. I started working with a Telecom services company though on contract base as at the time of the application. The contract was to end in same month i applied for trv. So, i included the contract letter, recent SOA of sponsor, tuition receipts, telex copy of tuition payment made from sponsor's account. I was supposed to reume Fall, 2017. At the end of August, sent in subtle request for deferral to my dept but haven't gotten a reply. Probably because i've deferred upto 3 times. Intend to send a reminder

2nd app:
applied in July, 2017
Refused on the 17th of Sept.
Reasons ticked: Travel history, purpose of visit and personal assets/financial status.


Though, i seemed confused at the reasons given of the 2nd refusal, i'm already in the process of ordering for my gcms and will also like to apply one more time. Will really appreciate your input. Quite hurtful, but i remain positive that when there is life, there is hope. Much thanks my bosses in anticipation of your reply.
Big thanks to Austinpee4, my personal person. I really appreciate you alot. It will surely end in praise.

Happy Sunday e-fam.

Best regards

Austinpee4:

It is not a must but to convince a VO, it may be necessary especially if your sponsor is a 3rd party. An affidavit is a binding document and it is tenable as an evidence in a court which makes it credible.

Sorry for the delay and I must really commend you for deactivating your silent mode.

At the bolded above, that guy is still the person that will help you out.

Your case is purely different and easy and I want to believe that had it been you tackle the 1st denial properly, then you ought to have been in Canny by now. But all th same, that man who is your personal person can surely help you.

Smiles...
Sorry once again.

Order for your gcms notes and let's tackle the matter.

Arebo:
.

Sorry about the denial bro, did you change your program this time around? ...this was the same question I asked just days ago, if it's possible to tackle a reason for denial now & get delayed again for another reason, the best bet it to tackle all aspects to avoid stories that touch even if one was denied for just a particular reason. It is well

Austinpee4:

Hello ma'am.

As it is now, you may have to withdraw you already submitted application and then apply with a new application which will then have your family members included.
They cannot apply for a study permit as they will independently apply for one while also meeting the requirements for a study permit.

Alternatively, you can wait till a final decision is made on your application after which you can then apply for a visitors visa for them and your husband as well.

mightyola:


Thanks. Is my Maternal Uncle a 3rd party?.

Favoured111:
so what happens to the visa fees i've already paid for.? would i have to pay fresh fees?

Austinpee4:

Send me a PM.

Austinpee4:

Yes, he is. Immediate family members are not 3rd party but sometimes, CIC still mention siblings sponsorship as third party. I guess parents are the exceptions. Can't say for sure.
