ORIGINAL PASSPORT REQUEST!!! (May applicant)

Experience is truly the best teacher, and my Canadian Sucess story made me believe the saying “EVERY DISAPPOINTMENT IS A BLESSING”!!! I know very well my story will motivate or strengthen some people never to give up in whatever that interests them, pursue it desperately like your life depends on it!! Yes I mean it.
Before I proceed, below is my timeline.

Online Application (2nd Application)
Submitted May 9th (10:57pm)
Upfront medicals passed on 11th June
Correspondence letter (today by 10:12am)
Original passport request (today by 10:32am)

This experience is my most difficult experience in life so far, I have always thought I can have anything I want in life but this Canada journey taught me that “Human beings can make any plans they want, but it’s God that decides their Sucess or failure”. I don’t even know where to begin from, but only God, Myself and @frankrobbn1 can tell my tragedy-comedy story.

So exactly a year today 20th June 2018, I submitted a paper route application and It was refused within 4weeks based on family ties, purpose of visit , personal assets and financial assets. Meanwhile, I have a Bsc in Biochemistry with overall CGPA 4.15 and last two year CGPA 4.71 , going for 2year diploma, paid tution fee $8,880cad.
when I received my refusal letter, I cried that very day like never before and till date my first refusal date 18th July,2018 still remains the worst day of my life, and the agent my parents used was just after money. After crying, knowing how bad i needed to leave this country I woke from my comfort zone and began my personal research, this was how I came across this wonderful forum and started reading up!

Through this wonderful platform I met an angel in human form, a motivator, my soulmate and my support system @frankrobbn1, may God bless you richly for me. Frank took his time to explain the errors in my application starting from advising me to secure a masters admission and that is nearly impossible to convince a VO on why diploma and not masters considering my high Gp, and secondly that my application is as empty as anything, I didn’t even submit my family’s information, no assets declared, no employment evidence and so on.

So I began my admission hunt and the devil started his work. Almost all the schools offering my course/ or related course requires a supervisor , and you know how difficult securing a supervisor can be. Some schools I contacted will tell me pump and play that I must identify a supervisor before applying while some will tell me to apply that they will assign me a supervisor once am admitted! I fell to their tricks and lost my application fee, I also tried contacting supervisors all kept turning me down. I kept sending countless mails to different supervisors in different universities all to no avail, some would always come up late with their negative mails of not having space in their lab while some will totally ignore me. I got feed up and I decided to stop sending mails but to call them on phone at least to get a straight forward response rather than waiting for their response that takes weeks and at the end must be negative. I made it as one of my daily activities to call at least 10 supervisors daily, and I did this for months!!! Even the ones that later accepted to supervise me though without funding just all of a sudden will deny even knowing me after I have submitted my application hoping I have secured a supervisor.

In general, I applied to 6 different universities in a space of 8months and all turned me down. I kept asking myself who did I offend? who is after my progress? Through this same wonderful forum I met a very nice fellow @agronat. Immediately he posted about him securing a masters admission with funding, i pm him to put me through, and that was how I realized the vital points/information missing out in my application and the reasons behind my refusals regardless of my high scores. And today am glad that my finally attempt landed me a [b]full fulled scholarship worth $38,076CAD at BROCK UNIVERSITY ONTARIO , 2 years MSc in Biotechnology. [/b] Big thanks to @frankrobbn1 for recommending Brock University to me. I nearly craze that day (April 18th, 2019)!!! NB: the scholarship covers my tution and living expenses with extra left, I was also guaranteed a graduate assistantship position. Isn’t God great? This was when I realized that God was preparing something greater for me.

Fast forward to my visa application, guru @frankrobbn1 finished work.. I personally wrote my SOP and LOE, but when frank was done reviewing it I couldn’t recognize my LOE and SOP .. lol, he reconstructed it and was even using the VO’s terms to address every issue. He sold me well and also left the Change for the Visa officer to keep. I can’t thank you enough.., even after I submitted my visa application he took me to a church where I was given 4 days dry fasting and prayers (something I have never done in my life). I’m not the churchious type but this journey brought me closer to God and will forever remain grateful. I will be traveling to lagos next week to submit my passport and at the same time celebrate this wonderful journey that ended well. Seriously my sleep tonight will be very special after one year of dreaming of CANADA �� Lol, and to @justwise thanks for making this platform possible.

I'm really interested in the bolded, I just sent you a PM, all my efforts to get supervisor or funding have not been fruitful, already applied to about 4 schools and my academic standing isnt bad at all. Any help or advice will be uber appreciated.

Qudkom:
Study plan seems to be poorly planned(Course) also your sop was deemed vague and poor. You also didn't submit convincing documents to show your establishment in the country. The full details of your application will have to be revealed to give proper guidance.

Thank you for your timely response.

Thank you qudkom, my 2nd application will be sponsored by the father and his biological brother whom is a PR in Canada. my unlce is absolutely committed to be a co sponsor, fortunately he lives close to the school in London, He and his wife are writing me letters to support my 2nd application which Intend to submit by October. my question is what part of my application do I need to work on ?

Qudkom:
Ideally you didn't have any issues with your financial portfolio. Also having additional sponsors isn't an issue. However in reference to your gcms note if you can ensure that your proposed program correlates and you review your sop and make sure it isn't cage and straight to the point then you should be fine.

Also, Don't complicate the previous sponsor portfolio, If you're going to add any make sure they're showing commitments*

OK good. Have them write a letter stating they will provide accommodation for you and also their house details/documents can be attached. That way you're good on the finances. Also have any 3rd party sponsor deposit to your account.

okay. Thank you I will be glad if you could kindly hell me in reviewing my SOP and LOE when I'm done.

BaaleOfOntario:
okay. Thank you I will be glad if you could kindly hell me in reviewing my SOP and LOE when I'm done.

That's a very bad advice, u r encouraging him or she to be an illegal immigrant making it impossible for her to permanently settle, my dear u must be in school to work part-time, I would advise you to defer ur admission and pray to be financially ready by then.

Obehi44:
Na wa oh, things de happen for this life.
Well, nothing spoil my dear. Stop thinking too much but start dancing for your blessings.
Please look for your flight money and go to Canada, when you get there, defer your admission to the next season and start working. Trying to get different jobs of day and night so as to raise money. You may even get from a God sent who will loan you and you pay back when you saved enough. Don't stay back.... Go there and hustle.

Medical request July 5(funny thing is my first application was refused after 15days also)
Medicals done July 18
Medicals passed August 2( i had to call Qlife cause it was passed the 10 working days. They told me they had sent it, thats when the true worry started ehn i started questioning my health since i had a surgery in june lol. So i sent a web form on august 1st and the next day i got medicals passed)
BVl August 2nd also
Application was processed in Paris
Passport request August 5 lol

I submitted all cic forms
Admission letter: university of Saskatchewan going for PGD food science, i have an undergraduate degree in microbiology and 4.78cgpa i couldn't get a supervisor sadly. But i spoke to the program coordinator and he said if i have good grades and get a supervisor after the first semester i could switch to Msc so i am hoping(crossed fingers)i graduated uni at 19 so i mentioned how young and all i still am so a career switch blah blah lol i am surprised. I made mention of the courses i did as an undegrad that are related to food science(like food microbiology, organic chem, bio chem and industrial micro) i also mentioned that my undergraduate course was slightly deficient so i couldn't get into masters which is true in a way.
My mum is my main sponsor, statement of account of 9m and 7m TB said to be dedicated to my studies
Submitted my dad's will with funds and land property dedicated to i and my siblings. It also had court order.
Submitted my transcript and thats all. And above all i added my God to the equation lol.


My first application was refused based on ties to Canada and purpose of visit. I ordered GMCS note and it didnt mention anything about my study plan being vague or anything. VO's main point is that i wont return to Nigeria. I was really sad when the refusal came, i cried sef then ran to niaraland and read all the responses lol. My first application had all the documents i believe it was even perfect but yet it was refused. My second application i didn't even notorise sponsors letter or anything, didn't even submit birth certificate or any extra thing. Its only God that's all. I'm so thankful for everyone that posts here i have always been silent but I'm grateful to everyone here

That's a very bad advice, u r encouraging him or she to be an illegal immigrant making it impossible for her to permanently settle, my dear u must be in school to work part-time, I would advise you to defer ur admission and pray to be financially ready by then.... But nawa for cic, rejecting people that already paid part of tuition and ready to study and then accepting a student that isn't ready, nawa.

The thing is I'm not even sure which country he is talking about, cos he posted the same thing in the US thread and US is much stricter on working without schooling than Canada.

Abeg I won japa from this naija who fit help me ��������������

Well, nothing spoil my dear. Stop thinking too much but start dancing for your blessings.
Please look for your flight money and go to Canada, when you get there, defer your admission to the next season and start working. Trying to get different jobs of day and night so as to raise money. You may even get from a God sent who will loan you and you pay back when you saved enough. Don't stay back.... Go there and hustle.

I know you meant no harm but we must stop this mentality of 'going to hustle' in which ever way possible.
If he isn't in school, why should he go and hustle illegally?
Many Nigerians travel with this mindset and CIC try to prevent it by making rigorous checks before granting a visa. Things like this keep making getting visas as a Nigerian close to impossible.

If your application is still within the processin time, there is no need to disturb them.. But if it is over the processing time, then go ahead.. Peace

One month kwa...processing times is 8 weeks so chill. Some people applications are almost 8 weeks without medical call yet. At least after the processing time is over, you can send a webform.

That's a very bad advice, u r encouraging him or she to be an illegal immigrant making it impossible for her to permanently settle, my dear u must be in school to work part-time, I would advise you to defer ur admission and pray to be financially ready by then.... But nawa for cic, rejecting people that already paid part of tuition and ready to study and then accepting a student that isn't ready, nawa.

Even that working sef get as it be...it can only take care of living expenses and not school fees. It’s not easy starting up in a country that doesn’t care about your personal upkeep at all. He should defer and apply for external aid or raise money and then travel.

My school resumes on Sept 4th...that’s why*crieennn

Hello,Please I'm an undergraduate student in one of the Nigeria Universities and I got my two years student visa some weeks ago but the problem I'm now facing is that the statement of account of the person I use is not ready to sponsor me and when I contact those people I know over there I was told I can only come and work there in as much I don't have money for my tuition fees.
Please I really need your advice should I stay in Nigeria and continue my education or I should go.
I'm confused and I don't know what to do again I can't sleep for the past three weeks coz I really have a passion for my education
Please advice me.
Please I need a urgent urgent reply

You are a questionable character, you posted this same story few months ago in US student visa thread and yesterday you posted again in that thread and here.

You and your posts will be gone in this section.
