Good morning, pls guru in the house I have a problem here. I submitted my visa application via paper which I provided all the necessary documents including my valid passport on the October 9th 2018, in which I got a response on the December 3rd 2018 demanding a one year bank statement ticket. I provided and sent the necessary documents demanded via email on December 17th 2018. After then, I linked my paper application to an online account (gckey) where I can view the status of my application. I got a response on the April 16th 2019 which I was approved and my valid passport was requested by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. After I got the message, I tried tracking my application through Visa Facilitation Services (VFS global) but my document hasn’t been dispatched, which my application is still under processing according to them.
My problem is that I did my application via paper, where I submitted all my documents at the Canadian embassy in Lagos which my valid passport was submitted also. And they still requested for my passport, maybe thinking I submitted online. Any suggestions will help please. What I’m I to do.
To troubleshoot this I will advice you go to the vfs in lekki to clarify this error. You have just 30days to submit your original passport and if they continue to delay cic will not give a listening ear to excuses. You conducted your biometrics exercise there and they are mandated to submit your passport to the embassy at no additional cost.

Are you sure that’s the last page? Or let me say is that the only page the VO made his/her conclusion?

Thanks for the information! i guess wed just leave it blank then...
Valprincx:



@ sillysassysally, keep up the good work. God bless you. I applied via paper route, and knew about linking to an online account a month after application through this platform. After linking my account, I saw : you have passed your medical exam, there was no specific date stated to that effect. Thanks.

I lease I have a Canada study permit I got January this year. But I did not travel again. What am I to do?
Am I to cancel it and if yes how do I go about it?
Or am I to leave it expire on its own at no consequences?

2. Secondly can I use a study permit as a tourist visa to Canada? Or it’s impossible. Thank u
I really don't understand your motivation towards your study permit. But i will advice you do proper justification to it. Because the action of one person can affect others. If your study permit is still valid you can make use of it simply ask the school to give you another letter of acceptance if they can. And you give a solid explanation at the point of entry why you couldn't meet up initially.

Please note that a study permit is different from a tourist visa I will also advise that you don't waste this glorious opportunity

Hello,
Your situation is rather surprising and peculiar, I've never seen anyone who got a TRV for study permit and never used it/was uninterested in using it.
I suggest you allow it expire, instead of cancelling it because I believe a visa cancellation won't look good on your passport.

2. Your TRV is specifically for study, because there's a stated category on the visa - if you check your passport, you'll see it, it says 'student' - so you can't use it for tourism.

3. While I don't know the reason you changed your mind about travelling to study, I'll advise that if you can, you should reconsider.

Godspeed.

For an Msc thesis based you'll need to get a supervisor first else they'll leave ur application pending. If u can't do that, email the graduate study admin for a switch to course based.

Hi guys, I applied for an MSc degree at the University of Calgary since February and I'm still waiting for an admission decision. Is there anyone here that also applied for Fall 2019 at the Uni of Calgary? (I applied for an MSc Thesis & I'd be concluding my BSc by next month in the UK)

Since you got an online update that your application has been approved and hence a request for your passport, and you said you already submitted it during your paper application, I would suggest you visit the VFS Global office to enquire about your document. However, I believe others in the house will throw more light on this.
I called the vfs global and they only gave me an email to send message to Lagos immigration. It’s going to take up to 2 weeks before they get back to me. I don’t think I have that much time to risk due to the fact that I have a deadline to submit passport.

I will still suggest you visit the office in person if you are in Lagos, that is where you did your biometric and submitted your passport, talk to a supervisor there.

also the current waiting period is 9 weeks and you are just barely 4 weeks. if its getting to close for comfort you should be considering deferment of your admission.

Waoh. 9 whole weeks??

I'll defer the admission if this persist.

Tnx for your input.

At the VFS Global office show the manager or supervisor the CIC update and make them understand the risk of losing the opportunity to get your TRV.

Be prayerful and keep waiting. It will soon be your turn. Canadian visa processing in nigeria is a bit complex in terms of waiting. It will all end in praise. Though you applied a bit late according to Canadian visa standard and you should have done an upfront medical. I guess you are a first timer like me and just making use of this forum?

I wanted to do upfront medical, but IOM and Qlife are both giving loooong dates which will further delay the submission of my application. So I opted to wait for CIC to send me medical request.

Tnx for your advise.

ok that’s a good idea. But when I called the call center, they told me that they have nothing to do with that. Telling me I should just send an email to Lagos immigration.

Send the email. Make the subject 'URGENT your application number'. Send it asap

There have been no updates to your application (S3....... 5) since you last checked your account. Thank you for your patience.

That is the message I just received from CIC in my email. What does it point to Pls? I raised a Webform yesterday for another reason tho.

ILoveDLord:
Hello, hope my response is not late.

If I remember correctly, I think some of those boxes are optional, apart from the tuition fee(Pls confirm and correct me if I am wrong)

For me, when I filled that section of the form, I only just filled the estimate of my first year tuition fee, omitted the other boxes because they are optional and the filled the "fund available for my stay"

Hope this helps.

Thanks



JustMellow:


well, I won't go down trying to justify if am wrong or not but I will hint as this with a personal experience that transcend to more than two applications. This was in 2017.

The then application of the referring section was filled out with only the tuition fees column, the room and board likewise the others was left blanked but the total available funds was inputted after the sum total of the first year tuition fees plus just the LE, and the applications came out very successful.

The most important thing to consider when filling out that section is to be sure that the total available funds doesn't not outweigh the sponsorship funds.

Don't just say someone is wrong if you've not completely witnessed everything. You can simply make your point based on your personal experience.

FYI: there is no special way of doing this Canadian thingy but what matters is stating the needed infos.

Best of luck!

@ILoveDLord thanks for clarifying. I believe even at that, your application was approved?!

And my post on the issue was tagged WRONG simply because the known method familiar to them wasn't implemented as a guideline, undermining my integrity with such porous instigation in the process.

Don't cancel anything, if you do, you might leave to regret it especially if its because of (maybe) your travel preparations. What you should do is to defer your admission to September if your resumption is for May or June.

The reason on why you couldn't travel wasn't detailed out, I guess its privy only to you.

Normally, Canadian DLI are mandated to report students who have inactively not attended classes for 90days which calls for the cancellation of such student study permit by IRCC but I think not all DLI are fully complying as they allow class attendance to the discretion of the students who would either have the final laugh or not when applying for a PGWP.

You can get your study permit cancelled by sending an email or raising a CSE with your Full name(as shown on your passport, UCI number, Details of your DLI, DoB, Country of birth, Passport data page etc with a body message directing for the cancellation. The subject should be on cancellation.

For your second question, you can use the privilege of having a SP as entry into Canada then apply for a "status change" from within Canada only if you still have a legal status. Doing this means you won't be able to study or work.

FYI: Don't cancel your SP if its not a life threatening challenge/issue. I pray you overcome your worries, fear, or whatever that's posing to be an hindrance.

Godspeed!

I have come across this case before, send an email and raise a webfom with your/the relevant application details from your full name as reflecting on your PP, UCI number, DoB, country with a title as URGENT - Passport Request After Submission for Paper Application. Then briefly lay your unrest in a brief write up as the message body.

You can as well try calling Nairobi VO on phone but they hardly respond to calls

BTW to the bolded, how did you go about it, was it an authenticated reference letter from your bank(for the 1yr statement ticket) or the regular bank statement? please clarify!

URGENT PLEASE!!
Good day the good people in the house, please I need your honest response to help me advice a friend properly. A friend of mine wants to go fmaster's degree in Canada, currently she has a PGD & a master's degree in the same discipline from the same school but wants to go to Canada for a second master's in a related discipline. Now the challenge is that she is planning to submit the PGD certificate as her highest qualification in the application for a TRV to avoid the VO raising unnecessary red flag by wondering why she is going for a second master's degree instead of a PhD. So please I need to advice her on this, is it OK for her to be silent on the master's degree qualification and state her PGD certificate in a bid to avoid doubt on her purpose of travel?
