Nysc is not needed outside naija
He can get an mba program that doesn’t require experience but I think he should write the gmat exam to reduce the constraints he has to deal with

Schools will take that cgpa

Thanks bro I appreciate.
But is there any other Bus-Admin related field I can advice him to apply for master, which might be easier for him to get admission?

We do have quite a similar situation here. I submitted via online route on the 19th of April, did my biometrics on the 23rd, my completed biometrics did reflect in my application status. However, no other update since then.

It's been 10 weeks of waiting patiently and tirelessly, it's almost like my whole life is on pause mode. Some 10 days ago, I sent a mail to all the available email addresses I got from this section, I was promptly replied by the Kenya and Lagos offices but apparently, my application is being processed in Lagos.

I am keen on getting a decision from them, sadly the duration is messing up my other plans. I already secured an admission into a University in Ireland as plan B.

I have decided to do my medicals UPFRONT tomorrow which I will have sent to them via e-mail....(I do not know how effective this might be). I will be traveling to the UK in 4 days and subsequently Germany for a series of meetings. I will be away from the country for about 3 weeks. Hopefully if my application is approved, I will submit my passport in any of the Countries I am at.

So you see, we are in the same situation.

Hey guys, please advise.

So i've been waiting for the next step from these guys, but nothing. I'm slated to be out of the country in a few weeks. I'm hopeful i get called for medicals before i travel as that would require my physical presence. However when approval comes and i'm asked to submit my passport, can i have my passport stamped outside my country of application?(NIGERIA) at least stamp na stamp na.

Not sure if i can courier my passport out and remain in another man's country.

Meanwhile, i sent a mail to london processing office without adding "URGENT" and i'm not even sure if they are the ones processing. They processed my visiting visa. Abeg, which other offices do you know? and can you send their emails so i send to all of them.lol cos me i'm tired abeg.

Applied since April 20th.

Thanks guys.

All the best to us all.

There seem to be a trend of denied approvals for applicants who are self-sponsoring, this can be frightening sometimes because I certainly did overlook a few things while putting out my application but then again, fingers crossed!..

Also, a major thank you to everyone here for the good job, it is amazing how much I have learnt despite having already submitted my application before frequenting this section. I hope I receive a positive news pretty soon. To those denied applicants, it is never the end . . . just take the lessons and improve on your next application or have some other plans. Best wishes!

Hello good morning, afternoon, evening . I'm new here,
I'm gonna be coming to canada next month and I wanna know the questions asked at the airport after landing how difficult its, I wanna be well prepared before going cause I'm nervous

Any conestoga college students in here?

To the bolded above, you can't do upfront medical after you have submitted your application, you can only wait for CIC to request for medical. All the very best

I remember you sent a few emails my way earlier in the year but I couldn't help as promised -- been unbelievably busy this year.
But I am very happy to hear that your well put-together application (I went through the files you sent me) scaled through.

Phocusjosh:
Thanks boss. You are the real MVP

I am composing my SOP, but need a clue. How do I explain if I am going for a certificate program for 18months. My plan is to do an engineering certificate program and after the program, then apply to get into university.

The certificate program is to help strenghty me more in Engineering

Please does anyone know any where or company where one can obtain super visa medical insurance in Nigeria?

whiteFOX:


Thank you @mcobex and @biakwa,...how else can i go about the family ties? I happen to be the only child though i ve half siblings. will that be accepted?

Your parents can serve as home tie. The main thing is give the vo a genuine reason it reasons why you will return back to Nigeriaafter your studies..... it might be cos of family properties you will inherit after studies in naija, it might be job prospects in naija, etc. Just give genuine reasons why you will return to Nigeria after your studies(cos as a foreign student you are suppose to leave Canada after studies)

So what was their response when you sent them the mail? I am asking because I will be sending mine soon.

WEIRDPC:


Hello,

Just two weeks? Lol. Two weeks is too short to start getting worried. Background check should be review and verification of all documents and details submitted minus medicals. May include family, work experience and others.

Best

Thanks for your response.
I thought that these things that you mentioned above are what is being done during ''eligibility review''.?

goingforward

Hello Nairalanders,

I just realized while just going through the docs i sent that probably in the process of scanning my Bank Statements i omitted some pages. and i have submitted.

What do i do now? . God i look to you.

goingforward.

yuloz:
Hi All,
I submitted my study permit application without police clearance report because the firm I used said it was't needed. Please has anyone gotten approval without submitting police clearance or can one be denied on that?
Thank you,
Awaiting a response

Yes, countless people have been approved without submitting police report. No need to tremble.

With your VISA in hand, you've already jumped over the highest and hardest of hurdles, Sir.

Just do not forget to have all the relevant documents in hand (Admission letter, LOI, Payment of fees receipt, etc). You will only be asked the simplest of questions you could easily answer in your sleep (Eg: What program are you going for? How many years? etc). In fact, you might not be asked anything at all.

Best wishes in your travel to, and your studies in Canada.

Cheers

Yes, after writing you will see a place to upload.

What do i do now? . God i look to you.

The VO might not notice because they pay more attention to the transactions than the page numbers. However, if he/she notices, worst is they will request a new bank statement of account.
