I can't say if it's late or not. The earlier you send in your application the better. The processing time on CIC's website for Nigerian applicants only shows the time frame it took that office to process a good number of applications. Processing and decisions are made WITHIN the time stipulated. So anything is possible from the 3rd week to the 14th/16th week. Endeavour to send in your complete application this week like you mentioned and be hopeful a decision comes sooner.
@Austinpee4 please help me review my SOP

Oga, I only gave a meaning about gcms file that will suit his/her current situation.

Nobody should take just what we see or read here as the best answer but should make more findings or ask more questions.
Google too can always solve or enlighten the case at hand.
I understand, i'm just curious as to what VO's state when giving approvals

By the Grace of God I would be applying for TRV soon.

I have been seeing a lot about the financial part of the app on this thread, but there are certain things I do not understand yet. For instance, the sponsorship part: In my case, I'm not the one sponsoring myself but my dad. Do I need to open an account for myself and deposit huge sum of money into it or what? I'm quite confused about that.

Another is that, when is a large sum of money considered money lodging?

Better still, I'd prefer if I can get a detailed information about sponsorship and anything that has to account/finance. This way, there won't be a need to ask any questions regarding this matter again in the future, and others can learn from this information. Thanks.

Austinpee4, guzenaira, thesoj and the ogas at the top. I doff my hat.
The issue of sufficient funds meeting CIC's requirement is unambiguous and clear. Have equivalent of your tuition and living expenses atleast for the first year. The more you the applicant make this fund accessible to you the better especially when using a sponsor. I would say yes, open an account for yourself and if possible a dorm account as funds in convertible currency will show exportability of these funds when necessary without much hindrance through forex policies and all. Your dad being your sponsor makes it even a reliable sponsorship. All he needs to do is in addition to the funds, he should add all his source(s) of income, his proof of employment or business and also add a proof of his relationship to you. (birth cert).

Large sum deposit or as you put it money lodging is when a significant amount of money enters an erstwhile inactive account prior to the application or when funds that does not over a 6 months period give or show the average income of the applicant/sponsor leading to the available balance are deposited without a proof of it's source or origin.

Also, available funds that will meet the requirement can be a one time proof (scholarships, loan, funding, etc). So since you are using your dad, he MUST show he can meet this obligation of sponsoring your study.

Conclusively, have your funds for your tuition and a minimum of 10,000CAD for your first year. The more these funds are accessible by you, the better. In doing this however, it must be logical, convincing and without doubt that said funds will be available to you. Sometimes, it is advisable to pay your tuition and have funds for living expenses in convertible currencies. This will allay any doubt as to your access to funds for your first year.

Regards.

You are quite a funny character, some people in Canada who don't want you to come join them there and enjoy what they are enjoying, put up the survey? Lol. You remind me of my mother. She says I must not tell anyone of my admission and scholarship to Canada until after I have left, lest some malevolent forces jealous my progress, come and derail it. If God is for us, who can be against us? Take the survey jo if it floats your boat. By taking the survey you are in no form, shape and size, registering to anyone, anywhere, of an intention to migrate Canada!

Mothers are very funny anyway, But to an extent they maybe right, only if we know the GOD we serve and diligently serve Him.

I don't know if I have to contact her cuz it wasn't stated there in the application guideline.
PS; I applied Anatomy and cell science.

Pls any advice on other Versities I can apply to in canada without application fee... The the thing is really preventing me from making multiple applications... I'm in dire need of your contributions. Thanks and kind regards to us all.

Almost all schools in Canada don't give application fee waiver. Try McGill University since you have first class. They have application fee waiver, but it requires that you pay the application fee first and later on document how impoverished you are to get the money refunded back to you. The other one I know, University of Saskatchewan, gives application fee to people applying only from war torn areas. Sudan is the only country in Africa that made the list. Good luck.

You've got a good profile here. However, I once fell of victim of this your scenario, I applied to university of Manitoba stating a name of a supervisor while applying without contacting him. Lo and behold, I got rejected with reason of non acceptance by the proposed supervisor. Please contact him/her immediately.

Did you apply for a Course based or research master's degree? In either case, you must contact them, that's UofM for you. Mine was course based

With your GPA, I think you should make use of Google as no one here can guarantee you a master’s admission with your cgpa. Personally, I would advise you try colleges, you stand a good chance. Alternatively, try and search your proposed program on www.universitystudy.ca then make list of Universities that offer the program, get their program coordinators' email and submit your enquiry. They would surely get back to you to ease your worries.

Firstly, request for your gcms file.
https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/welcome.do?lang=en

Note the reason for refusal.

Take steps to tackle the refusal.

Then, tackle the reasons with a very BOLD convincing step.

Tell God in prayer during the process if you believe Him.

Finally, submit your application and remember not to forget that the final decision is from God.

Sorry for the delay, God will perfect it this time.

Pls, if you find all I said not clear enough, kindly visit page 0 of this thread for better understanding.





Good morning to you all....

Yes sir I am very sure God is for me and nobody can be against me. I did not "run" the survey cos I don't have their time. But if they give me some incentive to fill it, I would. I took a survey one time and they rewarded me with a $20 shopping gift card. The conspiracy theory with no evidence that you flout is not the reason I am not taking it. Simply because I have no time is the reason. Others who have free time should take it.

But I thought U of M offers admission based on the approval of supervisor. If your supervisor doesn't approve of you or is not available, the department will write to you. As a matter of fact, your supervisor will be the one to forward your name to Faculty of Graduate Studies for approval. Pls what course are you talking about here??
