Hey guys anyone here who has applied or gained admission to university of Saskatchewan ?

hilaryxoxo:
This thread is really amazing! No doubts about that. But let’s not also forget that there are thousands of people that have neither consulted nairaland nor the services of agents, and have had TRV approvals. Upon speaking to a good number of them, I was extremely surprised to see that they didn’t submit many of the things that are recommended for people to submit here... and they were still successful! Consequently, It made me question the usefulness of some of these things and I expressed my opinion to see if there was any argument for these documents...

We need to understand a couple of things;
1. The fact that someone got a TRV approval does not make the person an expert on TRV matters.

2. The fact that someone submitted a certain document and got an approval does not make that “document” compulsory to submit (especially if it’s not a requirement on the CIC website)

3. You really cannot use one person’s model/template as the standard. As we already know, there is no one size fits all.

The point I’m trying to make is this;
1. We need to question why we are telling people to submit certain documents. For instance, this police character certificate. The fact that it is a PR application requirement DOES NOT MAKE IT IMPERATIVE TO SUBMIT for a TRV application. Who knows if it makes the VO start to think that you want to actually stay in Canada since you’re submitting the requirements for a PR. Plus since the things you submit, passes through a “genuinity test” (or what eveir they call it), what if these extra unnecessary documents just delays a candidates processing time since the immigration office would have to verify them..

Hello ma, if you check the CIC website https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/eligibility.html it actually says to apply for a study permit, you MAY need to provide a police character certificate.

Also, one of the conditions of getting a study permit is to prove you will obey the law, have no criminal record and not be a risk to the security of Canada. This makes those who submit PCC justified to do such. Please lets not mislead the public.

There are people who have applied without submitting all the documents requested by CIC and still got their visa's because we do not fully understand context of their applications. Trust me, most times, people only tell you the surface of their stories, you don't know all about those people's application.

I must admit some of the documents I see people submit here is way too much (this is my opinion which is subjective) but who knows maybe that is what will do the magic for them? When I did mine I submitted my dad's death certificate, mum's reference letter from bank, letter form my school, referral letters, at a point my mum got tired and said she was not sending any document to me again because she had to scan them and send to my mail. But I know myself too well, if I did not submit those extra documents and I had gotten a refusal, I would blame myself that it is because I did not submit those documents that was why I got a refusal. Good news, CIC does not say submitting too much documents is a crime.

Also, you spoke about these CIC guys being fully aware that Nigerians can always get a PCC even if they have criminal records. You are right but it will shock you that even in UK, it is a document they request from Nigerians for us to get an SIA badge to work as a security guard (and yes they know our country has no record). They just love to see it

P.S All applicants, the documents you see here are just to guide you. Your first source of information should be the CIC website and then you can come back here to get ideas from peoples timeline to serve as a guide. peace.

Please is it advisable to use an E-statement generated through Mobile App, instead of going through the Nigerian bank stress

Hello,is this wrongly filled?
Could it be a reason for rejection??

Insufficient funds loading... The total funds available for your studies can not in any way be lower than the total cost of your program alone let alone the amount of your room and board and other expenses hasn't be included. Rework on your finance(estimation). The inputted figures especially the tuition fees was erroneously filled.

Please friends,what is the difference between motivational letter and SOP. Which one is better.

Nuel182:

Yes, input your tuition fees which 18k plus your living expenses which is 10k summing up to 28k then you should do well to have exceedingly above the 28k as total funds to be financially sufficient

No difference, same thing different title but most academic institutions refer an interest letter as "motivational letter or letter of intent" whilst this letter is popularly referred to as statement of purpose for Canadian visa

Questionner:



Same here...got medical request Feb 5, did test Feb 18 and passed on Feb 22.

I saw that you sent me a PM. Unfortunately, I do not know how it works here. Any news on your app? It appears nothing is happening currently.

I'm yet to receive any feedback from them yet.

Anybody passed medicals recently but yet to get an email from CIC or passport request?

A friend applied last month with upfront medicals. She uploaded her slip but was surprised to get a medical invite this week. She has contacted IOM, but they insisted they have sent in her documents. Issue is, it’s not reflecting in her account. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions on how to tackle this?

This is actually not a problem. It happens occasionally.

Send the E-MEDICAL SLIP the second time to Kenya (Nairobi) Immigration department via this email: nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca

The subject of the mail should bear URGENT, along side her FULL NAME, UCI NUMBER, APPLICATION NUMBER AND DATE OF BIRTH.

Also take advantage of THE NAIROBI WEBFORM

You should state in the mail that the applicant has already completed her medicals and attached is her E-medical slip. You would request that her medical result be appended with her application and updated on her MyCIC account within the shortest possible timeframe. Lastly, thank them for the success so far in the applicants application.

Have you received a biometrics validity letter? Once you receive this letter via your MyCIC account after medicals has been completed, you should expect an approval within 2-48hrs. Although, it's never certain as some applicants get refusal after passing their medical exam and receiving the above letter.

nonipeter:
Frank please look at what my school registra told and I am confused because my final transcript in St Anthony of Padua High school is in their system and he told me that my transcript is not complete please see the attached the letter of what registar told me

Lol, what is giving u the idea that Naijaforeigner is a lady?

Hello nairalander, I submitted my online application on the 10th of March 2019 with upfront medical, I received a mail for biometric request on the 11th of March 2019, I did my biometric today the 12th of March 2019 and shortly after the biometric, I received my tracking number to check my application status. I have checked through the tracking number but was told I have no record. My question is : what happened to my cic account where I usually receive a prompt and update? Where will I be checking for new information? The cic account or the tracking status code I received today. Can the 2 account be linked together? Help is needed please.

Nuel182:
Hello,is this wrongly filled?

The form should be filled this way;

Tuition = 18,000$CAD
Room and Board = 10,000$CAD
Others = 3,000$CAD

Funds available for my stay = 31,000$CAD

You don't need the local tracking number. To keep track with the progress of your application you are required to login to your online MyCIC account.

Hi Frank,

Please what do you recommend to be the most ideal margin between funds available for stay and cost of stay?

i havent oh...so i guess i should wait for the letter first.

sillysassysally:
Hi Frank,

I don't quite catch that.

Funds available for your stay is the total sum of your tuition + room and board + other (miscellaneous expenses).

Cost of living is meant to be 10,000CAD and 11,000CAD for applicants heading to Quebec as stated on IRCC offical website.

I hope this answers your question? I saw your PM, I will respond soon.

Questionner:

Oh; Okay. You will receive the letter soon maybe this week or so. Accept my congratulations in advance.

Have you seen an applicant that was refused after medicals that was based on medical request and not upfront medical?
