UrsyBC:
I'm having same issues.

Did they send you and email saying it’s been processed?

ChidimmaP:
Alright. Thanks. How long may that take?

.
From research made it takes 3-4 weeks. God forbid if the application is rejected they will get back to you before that three- four weeks.

She applied herself.

Chukwuemekatehi:
Did she get the admission herself or an agent helped her with it?

Hello Guys,

I arrived Canada on the 1st of September. It has not been easy. If I knew what I know now I would have thought seriously about this school thing. God has been merciful to me. My advice to anyone coming to BC...don't count on the idea that you can work part time to pay your fees or survive here. I live in Vancouver Island and attend VIU. Most of my classmates are Indians and most of them are only interested in getting residence. They get visa easily and can take a loan from their local bank to deposit money for their fees. If you ever get into project groups with them you are on your own. You will do the work yourself because they really don't care about their grades.

If you are coming to VIU or anywhere in BC, please come with Nigerian food stuffs like dry pepper and palm oil. Its very expensive. Don't joke o. Carry indomie..it is a life saver. I came with Garri Ijebu and groundnut. I came with pepper soup spice (fish and meat is cheap). Come with umbrella, rain boot and rain coat...it rains like hell in Vancouver and Vancouver Island but its not as cold as the other parts of the freezer (Canada is freaking cold...no bi joke) I brought all the Igbo food stuffs I can carry and forgot income. Please carry coffee and milo. You will thank me for it.

I stayed at an airbnb for one week before I found a house. Its not cheap and also because I wanted my family to join me I needed to get a bigger house and used the rent agreement in the visa application for my family. I applied for their visa on the 23rd and they received approval last two weeks.

People on this island are seem nice (like British nice..they pretend). There are jobs during holidays like now..everyone is hiring part-time workers. People here will tell you that come January...it is dry. No Work!!!

My advice to anyone coming to BC or even Canada; go and learn something. Guys, if you can learn how to cut hair..you will be very comfortable. You won't need to do any silly part time work. Ladies if you can learn to weave hair and fix weavon...you will be ok..trust me...you will be a big shot!. Don't come here thinking you can just do part time work and pay your fees without getting into trouble. I am not saying you can't wing it but trust me even if you work 20 hours a week which is the maximum you can work as a student...you still can't do more than manage to pay your rent and barely survive. If you are on th MBA program then forget it. Canada is looking for talents and not C grade students. They now look at your transcript when you apply for post graduate work permit or apply for PR. Don't think you can wing it...you need time to study.

BC is the most beautiful; place I have ever been in my life...trust me I have travelled to 16 countries including 20 states in the US and most of Europe. BC is wild beauty and you wonder what tourism potentials we really have in Naija. When you come here you will fall in love with nature. They also don't have good food. There is nothing like Canadian food. It doesn't exist. Their food no sweet...simple and short (I am a foodie and chef so I authoritatively tell you). Nigerians here are the worst people I have ever met. When they get here they see you and ignore or avoid you. I understand why the ladies will do that...you no bi oyibo and you no fit give them paper. But for guys...thats silly. Some of them try to speak with oyibo accent. For God's sake I had this accent since I was a child so stop it...it doesn't fit you...lol

I wish everyone applying for visa good luck. If you are coming to Vancouver Island University please let me know if you need any information or help. I can point you towards things like accommodation etc. If you are here and plan to bring your family...I can share my experience with you. If you are applying for a visa I have an advice for you; ask God to let his Will be done. I am not sure I will have the time to help review applications because I have exams starting next week till second week in December. Afterwards I will have all the time in the world.


Cheers

Hello guys, I need an urgent answer to this question please :I know sevis fee last for a year before it expires but after been denied within a year and I want to reapply but to a different school ,will I have to pay another sevis fee?

Morning guys, please i have a question. Sometimes i get confused with who to address any letter with respect to the visa application to. Does it really matter who it is addressed to when applying online? Most i see is "Canadian High Commission, Visa Section", some " Canadian High Commission, Visa Officer", Some Lagos address.. Please does it really matter?

Will appreciate a feedback. Thanks in anticipation.

shakol91:
did you receive any mail before going to pick your passport because my friend hasn't receive any mail. Pls clrarify

No i didnt. You can just track it via the vfs site

Good morning house. Please are they cases whereby an applicant for visa does medical and isn't giving visa when the person is in good medical condition?

After coming back from Medicals can you remove funds from an account you used as your sponsor?

Alkidam:
No i didnt. You can just track it via the vfs site

I'm trying to know if you took that decision of going back to pick your passport when you saw it on vfs site without waiting for mail from the embassy giving the instruction. According to what my friend said "Canadian embassy communicates their final decision through email" . Is that true?

Sevis fees apply to US applications not Canada.

There aren't specific documents to submit but rather guidelines to follow on case by case specifics. Factors like your age, program, sponsor,skillset etc but primarily you need:

1. Sponsor
2. Education credentials
3. Employment documents
4. Family information documents
5. Proof of home ties
6. Medicals* etc...

Nice One, Pls kindly contact me, skoolsiteng@gmail.com.i need your help. Thanks so much

Orlarshaynee:
She applied herself.

Then it's probably legit. College admissions aren't all that difficult to get.

Are you talking about the US sevis fee? For Canada, it doesn't apply, you only make visa fee payment.

ATLANTIC IMMIGRATION PILOT INITIATIVE

Just a word of advice for the newcomers on this forum the Atlantic immigration pilot system is designed to lure immigrants to the Atlantic region of Canada so as to curb overpopulation, bring expertise to the province and many more. My advice is if you're looking for schools and want to maybe improve your Chances then consider getting admissions in provinces like New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

This is beneficial especially for immigrants with a lot of work experience which will make the transition to PR smooth.

P.S: This is just a word of advice and the new Immigration minister Marco Mendicino as highlighted the continuous support of the Canadian Government to drive more immigrants to that region.

Universities and Colleges(Atlantic Region)

Acadia University
Atlantic School of Theology
Cape Breton University
Dalhousie University
Mount Saint Vincent University
St. Francis Xavier University
Saint Mary’s University etc...

This are just some of the DLI Institutions to consider

Sirromey:

From research made it takes 3-4 weeks. God forbid if the application is rejected they will get back to you before that three- four weeks.

..

Okay. I pray they don't get back to me soonest. Lol

Ubah007:
Did they send you and email saying it’s been processed?

Yes, they did. VFS has actually sent me two emails. The first being that application has been received by Lagos VAC and the second stating that my application is under process by IRCC. Hopefully, there will be a positive feedback next week. Meanwhile I mailed my passport to Abuja VFS on Tuesday last week. Passport was received on Thursday...

What do we expect now as from January, a positive turnaround for study application? We are tired of naija

Well if we avoid fraudulent documents, submit applications that make them understand how we can benefit their economy with relevant skills/sheer hardwork then it will turn out well by the grace of God

Cherryola:
@justmellow can I still apply for my study permit after 2 years of refusal

Hello Cherryola,

Of course, yes. That's a long time to be able to convince/tell the VO that your situation has improved/changed. This time around, endeavour to include relevant documents to back any stated information and be sure not to change any previous sensitive information, but you can always improve more on it.

Good luck

It doesn't really matter. But to make it look formal, you can use this 'short addressing format' below:


Date

To,

The Visa Officer,
High Commission of Canada.

Dear sir/ma'am,


Letter of Explanation


All the best.

Good people of this thread,

I would be applying for the Canadian Study Visa next year against Fall 2020.

My issue is that the Date of Birth on my WAEC Certificate doesn't correspond with the one on my International Passport and Birth Certificate. Is this much of an issue that can lead to Visa denial. This is so pressing because WAEC has stopped effecting corrections on my issued certificate. I am confused and helpless.

Please what do you suggest I do. I am a prospective Master's student. Thank you.

IboBoyNuel:
