I'm not saying that there won't be approval.... But, the rate of refusals will supersede the approval! From Monday until now, we have over 10 refusals on this thread with few/no news of approval..... It's a normal trend for IRCC when it comes to this peak period during school resumption.

I'm just seeing this now.

Nobleman61:
Thanks bro

waynee2baba:
Fair enough

Hello house

Please I would like you to advice me on the best way forward with regards my husband's application.

My husband got a full PhD. scholarship from WLU and he has put forward his online application. Please see the timeline below:

Submission Confirmation - May 6
Confirmation of online application - May 6
Biometrics Collection Letter - May 7
Biometrics Completion - May 9
Medical Report letter - June 19
Medical Result - July 12
Biometrics Correpondence Letter - July 22

He is to resume 1st week of September 2019 and up until now, he hasn't received any mail to submit his passport. Also, he is yet to resign from work since he hasn't gotten the study permit confirmation and he is required to give 1 month notice in lieu of resignation.

He sent a webform last week to make inquiry concerning his application but he is yet to get any response.

Please house what do you consider the best step going forward?

1. Should he wait until the visa comes out and then email the school that he will be coming in late since he got the visa late? (that would mean resuming October)

2. Should he just ask the school to defer his admission to the Winter term (January 2020)? Would that mean getting a new admission letter and sending it to the IRCC?

3. Or should he just wait and do nothing and let the application run its course.

Please your prompt advice will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

@Austinpee4, nice to hear from you again, longest time bro .

You have said it all but to add to your point and in my own opinion, this visa approval stuff is just by luck it's not a matter of how perfect your application is and another thing I would advise people to.always take note is do not overload your application, screen and remove all unnecessary documents, the more garbage documents you submit, the more time it takes for the VO to verify all your documents (not to talk of when we now know these VOs are impatient to review documents anymore) and also too much documents can raise a red flag when the VO notice any contradictions in some of the documents you have submitted most people dont know this can also lead to refusal. Austinpee can testify to this, in the past, we have so many people that kept their applications simple and tight with all necessary documents and they still got an approval while we that overloaded our application took forever to be approved/many was refused. Some people will include all the academic credentials of their 5 siblings starting from primary school to the highest level attained and other funny documents (I have seen an app like this).

I applied for my study visa in October 2016 against winter 2017 term, when I noticed my app wasn't approved in the last week of December, I contacted my school to defer my admission till summer, I waited till last week of april 2017 still no show from cic, I contacted my school again to defer till fall, around early june 2017, cic requested for a new admission letter in other to proceed with my app, I sent the fall admission letter and after 2 weeks, my app was approved. One of my colleagues who also had same funding package and same supervisor as me got his 1st admission letter 3weeks to resumption for fall term, he applied 2weeks to resumption and his application was approved 4days to the R-day, the guy booked his flight asap. since then, I realized everything is by grace of God. it also depends on the mood of the VO at the point of reviewing your app this is where much prayer comes in. We cant say they have reached their quota for the year, how about people from other countries? The rate at which they approve these people ehn even when their resumption date is close, they will still be approved, most times I doubt if they actually checked their documents.

For everyone still waiting for approval, be optimistic, there is nothing impossible under the sky, it has happened before and it will still happen, your case is different and God hasn't forgotten about you. I wish one day, Nigerian application would be treated with priority like all.other countries, this people even trust ghanaians more than us. More approval coming by his grace

PS: for those that asked me questions in the previous pages and via my email, am highly sorry I haven't responded, please kindly forgive me, i cant intentionally ignore your questions, it hasn't been easy tho but I.promise to respond asap .

Thanks for this. God will do it. You answered my about to be asked-question.

Austinpee4:
It's only normal to be anxious about the outcome and timely response of your application considering your program commencement date. However, i believe they will soon get back to you soon about your application. So hang in there, be hopefull and do all you can to be less worried.
Regards.

@waynee2baba and Frankrobbn1, both of you have very valid points. I just want to add to both views.

While it is always advisable to apply early for study permits due to various reasons one being 'pressure' on the officers to conclude on these applications by applicants as well as meeting their stipulated processing time, it is also not completely detrimental to apply later or close to resumption date especially if one has a very good reason(application) and can convince through with such application.
Applications as we all know are processsed all through the year irrespective of the resumption date. Each application are concluded based on it's individual merit and uniqueness.

Also, there are other factors that must be considered too. These applications go through different stages(security, background, eligibility checks etc)and some may completely not be at the discretion or instance of the officer untill maybe the final stage(decision making) considering the numbers of application to be concluded on to meet resumption dates. During these peak periods, the stages may not take or go through a particualr order as it would during the less application period which may lead to an officer not carefully considering all evidenced documentation presented before him/her .

Applications from our part of the world go through rigorous scruitnity to determine essentially 'INTENT'. So rather than considering the academic purposes of these applications alone as it should be, officers largerly would also consider the intent behind these applications hence different factors would be considered. (Age,year of previous study, recent activities, strong home ties etc). All these during the peak periods i would assume may not be well establised by an officer hence you see a very good application refused on a rather ridiculous reason(s).

However, it still isn't enough to say applications during these peak periods stand a high chance to be refused or that the government have reached it's quota for the year. Statistics have shown that Nigeria has about the lowest positive issuance of the study permit all round the year in recent time. This ofcourse are from obvious reasons. We are not even close to our counterparts from Asia and other part of the world who usually would stand better chance.

Having mentioned these, it is highly advisable to apply months before resumption dates. However, this does not guarentee an approval or mean that such application would be delayed or refused. The only thing i feel is that it would give an applicant sufficient time to readdress an issue in a case of a refusal or respond to a correspondence from the processing office.

So yes, both of you have made good points and they are valid. An application is processes and assesed based on it's merit but there is always and 'unknown' extra when Nigerians are involved, more so when there is an influx of applications that sometimes do not even pass the eligibility stage. It becomes difficult to see through the good ones.

Regards guys.

Frankrobbn1:
Believe it or not. IRCC has reached their quota for the fall term 2019. Any pending Application that hasn't received a medical invite/update since June is likely to be turned down with flimsy/generic reasons. I'm giving my points based on the vast experience I have enjoyed in this process.

mcobex:
Greetings Ma'am, congratulations on your graduation

Vesment:
asin nigerians or in general? cos i can still see indians getting accepted even from 25th july

Bella25:
Hello good afternoon...please how long will it takes before UNBC can grant someone admission? It’s been a month now and haven’t heard from them about my admission status

Thebushboy:
How do I check that?I just linked my account yesterday
What's your medical status saying?

Frankrobbn1:
Congratulations on your approval. This isn't something you should worry about.

For those that are currently facing this or in future will encounter this simply send a CSE to Kenya, Nairobi Immigration office and you will receive the introduction letter updated on your MyCIC Account within 24 hours.

I HAVE BEEN APPROVED OF MY VISA, BUT I AM YET TO RECEIVE AN INTRODUCTION LETTER ON MYCIC ACCOUNT

Below is a drafted sample mail by me that you can send to the Kenya Immigration office;

Hello Respected Sir/Ma,

I hope this mail meets you well. My name is XXXXXXXX , I am a successful Canadian study visa applicant. I write to inform you that my application was approved on DD/MM/YYYY and my visa has also been appended on my passport. However, I haven't received an official introduction letter from your office which I am to submit to the immigration officer at the point of entry into Canada and that troubles me a lot as my course intake is drawing near, and my flight has already been booked for DD/MM/YYYY.

Kindly assist me with this issue and expedite the processing of my introduction letter. I do not want to miss classes and the orientation week as that would make it difficult for me to adjust later, putting into account the difficulty of settling down in a new country as an international student.

I am looking to getting your immediate and positive response.

High Regards,


XXXXXXXXXX

Contact info via Webform : https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/case-cas-eng.aspx?mission=Nairobi

Contact the Nairobi Immigration office via this email: nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca

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


I hope this helps

Hello ebby29,

I can really understand how disheartened and depressed you're at this point after been rejected for the third time.

However, I would like you know that few people have achieved success by trying once and most people who have achieved success in their various applications is because they have tried multiple times. The more you try, the more chances you give yourself of succeeding. Even Rome itself, wasn’t built in a day. Giving up signifies that you no longer believe in your capabilities and strengths. Giving up means that you are not ready to learn from your mistakes. Giving up means that you have accepted defeat. Instead, carry on with the struggle, put more effort, avoid the wrong turns that you made before and appreciate the fact that no Application, absolutely no Application, is perfect!

Always remember, that for you to be successful, you must believe in yourself even when things are not working out as planned!

Share me your profile here. Let's see how it goes in your next Application! My sincere apologies to those that were recently refused of their Visas.

It shall end in praises for everyone.
