When did you submit your application and which school are you going to?

Exactly one year ago. Missed fall 2017 resumption and this was understandable cos I submitted late September. Deffered to Sept 2018 and have missed it now. No update on application. Everytime I write them it is generic message. Since profile changed to medical request pass, it's been dormant. It's pretty ridiculous what these people are doing. Very bad. Thank God I have a job I love and did not put my life on the hold for these guys. USASK full dean scholarship recepient. I don't think the schook will hold my award in perpetuity. I am starting to forget about this visa thing let them get back to me at their own time, I can't afford to worry or have hypertension.

I'm speechless, but I like your spirit bro! Yours is over 52wks. ��‍♂️

At first I wasn't bothered about my application until a fortnight ago when my 9wks processing time lapsed. I think the best one could give this CIC snail thing is optimism. Get back to work and come back every 7 days to fulfill all righteousness. No doubt the American consulate subjective interview is far better than this. You get to know your fate in a few hours.

Honestly, the amount of time Canada takes in processing a simple visa is depressing. When I see June applicants still waiting for a response/decision on their application my heart sinks - I'm like, am I sure I shouldn't have looked for another country to pursue my post graduate ambitions. The way some of these embassies treat Nigerians' applications is just not fair, despite raking in billions in applications from Nigeria. I guess it's high time Nigerians protested this unfair treatment from Canada.

Isn't it wicked for an embassy to decline someone's application after holding unto the person's application for 12weeks?. Haba!
It's so sad that Canadian embassy can hold one's application for months and yet no progress on the status. My advice to applicant please look for other good countries with easy visa application process. Time na money ooh

It is well, you have really endured, since you have been sending mail yet no decision on your app while not visit vfs or the Canadian embassy to make formal complain. Just my thought

Good Morning Nairalanders, I need some gurus to any latest applicant to assist with this?

Please I need someone to shed light on this form I came across on the cic page.IMM5832E, guess it was recently uploaded for Nigeria Applicants,September to be precise

I am planning to apply and planned doing upfront medical to aid my application, but I read a statement on the sheet saying (Do not undergo a medical exam until advised by this office. Medical results may take up to 4 weeks)does it mean you cant do upfront medical with your application anylonger?) Any september applicant in the house who did upfront medical and any update? Please I would appreciate a FAst RESPONSE.[/quote]

AM NEW HERE... I have few questions.

Do acceptance letter from Canadian university expires? Because I got it since last year 6th of dec, submitted my application paper route 1 of February 2018, refused March 6. Submitted a new application Online route July 11th. Jst want to know if I need to contact the the organization whc helps me to secure the admission if I need new admission letter to add to my application. Because am yet to receive response from ICC. I attached the admission letter. Pls help.[color=#990000][/color]


This particular letter for the ESL program has no expiring date, so if you have paid the non refundable deposit your good to go. Besides you don’t need to worry about a new admission letter unless CIC requests for one.
Just wait on your app

Good evening all, please I need an advice.
I got admission to one of the top schools in Canada for fall 2019 but the only problem is fund as my parents may not be able to show strong financial proof.
However, I have a supervisor and family friend at work who is willing to sponsor me.
Please advice if this is okay and how I should go about it. I don't know anything about applying to Canada.
Please advice.
Thank you.


As long as they can show the require funds your good to go, besides it doesn’t sound like you have much of an option.

A bit clumsy to describe and it depends on where you are coming from. From Obalende you should be able to find a tricycle (Ask these cyclists) to Kofo Abayomi street that could be your best bet. But the closest landmarks are Bonny Camp, American embassy street from the main road and CitiBank, after entering Ozumba Mbadiwe street from Bonny Camp it's the first turn to your right just before the American embassy junction (Walter Carrington) and if from Law School you can access Anifowoshe str through first turn to your left Oniru junction/CitiBank junction both on Ozumba or once you on Ozumba Way find a bikeman, don't over pay N100 max, it's just a few streets away.

*left arrow is the route via American embassy junction and right arrow is the route from Citibank junction*

I'm not trying to sound funny. But if I were you my emails to them will be a lot more forceful. I will write with lines like: "V.O. I'm running a risk of losing my studentship with the delay of my visa application and as you may well know - I invested a lot in gaining this merit scholarship, please if there's anyway I can help to expedite the evaluation of my application kindly let me know". I believe it's undoubtedly ungodly what these V.Os' are doing to you, so there's no need for you to keep remaining in the closet. You need to let them know that you're are hurting, for me it doesn't smack of any desperation.

I submitted my visa application on the 30th of August online route, I did upfront medicals I got my biometrics done the next day and the medicals have been updated as passed on the 9th of Sept. Despite that my application is just barely a month, I'm beginning to grow restless, I've even started sending them mails and I will keep bombarding them with mails until they respond and hopefully favorably.

One more thing do you know the visa consulate handling your application?
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 14 by Hotspotaccess: 7:18am On Oct 03, 2018
Good day guys and thanks for a great job.

Please how long does it take for one to get his passport when it has been approved?

It is a paper application which was linked online. This morning it shows that application has been approved, but no message yet from VFS Lagos where the passport and application was submitted or from Nairobi Kenya where the application was processed.

Just state the obvious, mention both countries. I have been denied a US and U.K. visa in the past (If you not sure when do not put date).
You don't necessarily have to provide any detail if you don't know why! Most time reasons for denial in both countries are vague sef.

You failed to add letter of sponsorship-affidavit with court seal, sign, and his signature, reference letter for sponsor (From his place of work on letterhead addressed to Canadian Embassy also disclosing his work, position, salary per hour and hw many hrs he works per wk) that all you need.

Thanks so much, but i Forgot to add that, he is not an employee, he owns a law firm, he is a partner there. Would he still need a reference letter for himself in this case?
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 14 by Agbons101: 9:38am On Oct 03, 2018
you could add payslips or profits from business he is runing, sponsor letter, reference letter from company, employment letter or business documents, tax payment ID, documents showing he is a member of a cooperative body (well known cooperatives e.g engineer association of nigeria), family tree, evidence of previous involvement in ur education, sworn affidavit to support ur study abroad(because he is an extended family member)...

No, my account was not updated for the passport submission. However, I tracked my submission with the reference number on the submission slip I got from vfs. I also received a mail from canada Visa application centre that my passport was ready for collection after. 2 working days.

I also think you should contact cic as earlier advised by mcobex.

Yes he still needs one and all I previously stated must be there. Being a partner looks more solid from a finance/affordability perspective. Also owning the company might warrant Certificate, CAC papers and tax slips as indicated.
