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 on 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. You can visit VFS office and submit same day provided you get early enough.

I hope this helps.

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.

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.

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

joe10:


You can have it done same day when you arrive early enough. When i submitted mine i arrived as early as 5:30AM, was number 3 on the queue and submitted same day without previous appointment. 'No guts no glory' if Chevron invited for a job interview at 5:30AM, i strongly believe you could make it before the appointment.

Cherryola:
I submitted my app 5th of this month have been there 13th or June to book an appointment they ask me to come back 5th of july them self not me that choose for them

blaqnony,

You don't expect me to start exchanging words with you or to justify my claims. The simple fact remains that paper route applications are predictable. Quote me anywhere Sir/Ma.
You seem to know very well, how many online applications have you seen so far that was rejected within a month?? I don't condone blind argument, I deal on facts. Above all, there are no best route, in as much as people get approved in both routes.

All the best!

harde116,

You're required to have your acceptance letter, tuition fee receipt (If any), the correspondence letter, international passport , Sponsor bank statements ( they hardly request for this) but go with it.

You will be asked questions like :
Is this your first time in Canada?
What is your purpose of visit in Canada?
You came with some money with you? Etc....

After this, the immigration officer will then issue you your study permit on your passport. You will also be directed to a counter where you will get your SIN (SOCIAL INSURANCE NUMBER), which permits you to work 20hours per week during school sessions and full-time during scheduled breaks in the academic calendar predominantly during the summer and winter breaks.

All the best!
