Please I would like to know if it’s advisable to apply online with all the delays being stated on this thread for September or take chances with the paper route. My problem is the paper route is that from this thread they are quick to refuse but faster in response...any advise

wealth360:
Many waited for long agreed, but be sincere on CIC website did you see anything like 22 weeks for study permit processing time? A VO decision on an application can take more than the official processing time on their website. you no specify which one bro that is what am saying.

Before you come here and start attacking people who are honestly trying their best to help others, learn to do your research well. A simple google search reveals sighting of processing time on CIC website in the last two years in their 20+ weeks for Ghana and Nigeria. Memory might not serve me accurately from last fall, but to the fullest of my accurate recollection, I remember seeing processing time last August and September on CIC website for Nigeria at its apex at least 20 weeks.

Bros e don do make you no insult me since your thinking is that am here to attack people who are honest like you. Please carry on with your research I know you are doing your best to help others. safe man all the best.

Hello guru in the house,

My TRV study permit online application was refused this evening after 12 weeks of submission. Am weak, I don't know what to do next. And classes resume on 5th of September..

Reasons:

1 travel history
2 family ties in canada and in country of residence
3 purpose of visit

Am weak, I don't know what to do next and classes resume on 5th of September. I don't know what to write to satisfy this people again.

Travel history I make used of my virgin passport. Is it compulsory to have travel history before making application? I read some people receiving their visa with passport why my own different?

Family tie what family tie should I input am not married and my dad doesn't have landed property, he only has a company.. my course of study doesn't go in line with his business or Should I say I will come back home to take over his business while my course of study is not in line with business? Which other family ties should I use.

Purpose of visit. I don't really have idea about it.. please guru in the House should help me out abeg! Am confuse..

If I should reapply should I use the same SOA I used during my first application or I should another one? Am saying this because SOA was not part of the reasons I was denied.

I could be reached via tonyumeh25@gmail.com... I need help!

Thanks

It is well...it hurt but you need to refire...kindly order your gcmsnote immediately....to see the proper reasons for the refusal....well I will recommend you look for frankrobben post on how to tackle common refusal reasons on this thrend....

Travel history is not that compulsory for study visa
Purpose of visit....was your previou study in line with the present one you want to study....to me i think your sop need to address this issues raised by v.O....and did you include your sibling birth certificates....

You need to reprint another statement of account from the same sponsor you used in your first application...

Nawa o. 6 months? That was terrible. We're you ever called for medicals before the denial ?

No medical !!

Is your first degree in line with the Masters Program you applied for?

wealth360:
Bros kindly put a stop to this "at this time last year it was 22 weeks" Study permit has never been 22weeks not even in the 2 past consecutive years.
At this period last year precisely in June 09, 2017, a moniker called Yomalicious asked a question about her application and how long will it take her to get a response? @mcobex responded to her and quoted the processing time as at then to be 14 weeks. Only in SOWP application you will see 22-24 weeks processing time as at last year for Nigerians. Just correcting

jnyuwa02:


You call 10 weeks ungodly? Last fall at this time it was 22 weeks. That must be the zenith of ungodliness in your dictionary. At any length, to apply in Ghana or South Africa you must have residency, student status or citizenship there. Otherwise you would be rejected based on status in country of application, meaning you would have spent enormously to travel there, only to be returned to square one. If you have the stated status in those countries, as said, you still have to appear physically to apply there. Best wishes.

Ps: I will advice you apply in Nigeria. Even those with legal residency applying abroad are subjected to very lengthy processing time because of their unique status in those countries. They have to verify stuffs. I had a guy from Denmark call me up two days ago who is resident there, complaining he has been subjected to much more longer processing time than ordinarily Danish citizens applying in that country.

Hello my Executives in da house

jnyuwa02 and wealth360, to put an end to this argument. I was on this window last year and I am a witness to this. The processing time for Nigerian applicants as at September, October, and November 2017 was 22 weeks. I personally screenshot it last year.

So, Attorney jnyuwa02, was actually correct with his standpoint.

See attached screenshot.

All in all, the both of you are doing a wonderful job here. Bravo to you guys!!!!!! Let's move on.....

Good day Tonny,

This is really bad but please do not loose hope. You will need to tell what you really submitted for the gurus to indicate were the issue is coming from.12weeks is long, I was beginning to think in any rejection is within 3 to 4 weeks and at least the gurus can correct me if am wrong anything from 7weeks is a hope(i mean within this period Point).At this point I think you should throw more light on what you submitted for the gurus to advice..

The gurus will advise further....

Hi Tony,

I understand how you feel, it is a mixture of anger and frustration. I was refused too in early June and it was a big blow to my confidence. I started to second guess myself but i pulled myself together and I have reapplied again.

I wish u know this is battle and you have to have the stomach for it. Some of us are lucky, they have everything in place working for them but for the remaining ones like me, u have to roll ur sleeve and fight your way through.

One love!

tonnymexx,

Sorry for the outcome of your application. It's never the end of the world OKay! Do yourself a favor by making use of the below link to see reasons behind your refusal grounds.
YOUR REFUSAL GROUNDS

More so, use this authorized link by the moderator of this reputable thread to order for your GCMS notes.
ORDER YOUR GCMS NOTE

From the look of things your SOP was weak and your motivation to undertake your proposed program in Canada doesn't appear reasonable to why you should incur such huge sum for a program that is available in your home country. The Visa officer needs an explanation to why you're going for a program in Canada rather than Nigeria, the lucrativeness of undertaking such a program in Canada, the range of career options available in Nigeria after successful completion of this program in Canada. Go further by explaining your home ties, what can compel your return back home. As stated earlier by you that your father owns a business, you can tell the visa officer that as one of the son's or being the first son of your father as the case maybe, that you're bond to return to your home country as its your responsibility to take up this family business. Be guided that your proposed course of study must not be in direct collaboration with the type or nature of business your father specialize in Nigeria. Explain the aforementioned points on your SOP and present them in a justifiable manner, you will get it this time.

You're also expected to get an updated bank statement because the previous one you used for your last application has expired.

Lastly, travel history is not a factual reason for a refusal. Once you are able to carefully tackle other refusal grounds, travel history will be automatically waived for you.

It will end in praises in your next application.

Biakwa,

The moniker that was rejected is an online applicant. From recent findings, it happens to be that paper route applications seems faster to online route, which makes it easier for an applicant to know the fate of their application and as well quickly refire once refused. Paper route applications doesn't waste time in calling for medicals once an applicant has successfully submitted their application, this usually takes place 2-5 weeks after application submission. More so, Paper route applications are very fast in dishing out refusals, within the space of 3-4 weeks. Paper route takes a longer time on review of eligibility which can last for about 2-8weeks after medicals has been called and updated as PASSED.
On the other hand, online applications appears very slow, and once review of eligibility starts it doesn't take much time for a decision to be made by the Visa officer, this happens within the space of 3hrs-48hrs. Finally, online applications are unpredictable due to the slow rate of processing. An applicant might stay up-to 10-12weeks and above in online route and still get a refusal. But such is very rare on paper route application.

The above are the recent happenings for Nigerian applicants study permit application both online and paper route.

There is no hard and fast room in both the online and offline application. Non is predictable until you have your approval. We have seen online applications that didn't take up to 4 weeks to get a refusal here. Nothing is cast on a stone. Just do your application, putting the right documents and continue to pray until it is approved.

dtush:


This doesn't always work oo. My brother had to go back to the hospital he used and had some sort of rework medicals done. Dey charged 14k for this. He also did upfront medicals at Children's practice

Noted...

Omowunmibaby:
Please which one will you advise? Online or paper?

My simple advise is that you use the paper route because 'what will be will always be' regardless of the type of application method chosen. There is so much delay from the online route which does not guarantee TRV approval at the end. So traumatising... Imagine someone whose application was tied down for 12 weeks without a medical call and the outcome was refusal. Mine was delayed for 9 weeks, If i didn't send messages across who knows, could have been 12 weeks as well. Paper route refusal messages are always sent within a month, we have seen cases on this forum where applicants get TRV refusal messages in 2-3 weeks after application submission, at least such applicant has ample time to request for his/her GCMS note before reapplying in the next one or two months.

Also, using Paper route your forms will be thoroughly vetted by VFS attendants to ensure all I's and T's are properly dotted and crossed. However, each application method has its pros and cons but i think paper route is a better option for now going by the current ill-favoured delayed decision from paper route . You can visit VFS office and submit same day provided you get early enough.

I hope this helps.

For more information now paper route now days book appointment and it takes 3 weeks appointment b4 they ask you to come back for summittion
