Hi. I am. I intend travelling in January too though I've started classes online already.
You can travel in January but make sure its after January 4. The University will be closed from December ending till Jan. 4.

Okay, that's good to know. I will start my class online in January before I travel. Have you booked your flight? I just sent my passport to VFS for stamp, I will book my flight once I get it back.

Sigh, this isn't true at all, honestly, I am not trying to be a downer but using an agent just brings an air of uncertainty with your application and even making the applicant to be in the dark. THERE IS NO HOLD ON STUDY PERMIT APPLICATIONS.
His application was online?

One thing this Study Visa Journey has taught me is PATIENCE


My little advice for TRV hopefuls & Future Applicants

1) I will encourage every applicant to fulfil all righteousness when crafting their Canada study application

Remember "No Two Application is the Same" (there are many factors attached to this statement such as - different academic backgrounds, work experience, Marital Status, the Visa Officers reviewing your application & lots more)

2) Avoid any form of assumption that a Visa Officer won't need this or that, do your due diligence.

3) Show Career/Academic/Logical Progression most especially your Degree/Work Experience should be resonating with the Program you are going for

also,

Show Progression in the qualification of Program you are going for e.g
- B.SC grad (2.1) going for a Masters
- B.SC grad (2.2) & HND grad going for a PGD/PG. Cert/ Post Baccalaureate Diploma

If you have a 2.1 and you want to go for a PG. Cert, endeavor to show cogent reasons in a convincing manner in your SOP why you are going for a PG. Cert instead of a Masters Degree

4)- Assume yourself as a VISA OFFICER, assess your documents, read ur SOP to urself and point out your errors.
- Also regarding ur SOP, avoid any form of Plagiarism to the bearest minimum.
- Show Originality when writing your SOP,
- Be 100% Patriotic - don't say unpleasant things about Nigeria on your SOP, how you can upgrade your career and also help in the improvement of the Nigerian Economy after studying in Canada is very Paramount, talk about it in your SOP.
- Avoid Grammatical Errors in your SOP
- Subheadings Will make your SOP readable, don't write your SOP in Composition/Essay Manner
- Any thing you mention in your SOP, make sure you have a document that confirms it.

5) Read Success Stories of Applicants that have gotten Approval in the Past, most especially from 2018 till date, you might just see an applicant with your exact kind of profile that got approval which u can learn one ot two things from.

6) Also, if you are on the verge of starting or submitting your application, endeavor to ask questions in the forum on things u are not clear of. There are many things you gonna learn here that an agent don't know about or won't even tell you.

If you are an Applicant going for Masters/PH.D, this thread is a training ground for you to learn how to do research before the real research, so don't feel bad if someone tell you to start reading from Page 1, u gonna gain a lot.

7) Take your time and read this Thread Explicitly.
I never had an iota of experience on Canada Study Visa application. Reading this thread in my leisure period for a year helped me tremendously and this made my application strictly DIY (do-it-yourself)

Finally,
after Submitting your application, Talk to God to take Control/Charge of your Study Visa Processing, cos in every situation (good or bad) God will still be God.

As we all know the motto of this forum
"it will end in Praises (in frankrobbn's Voice)"

I'm wishing all applicants awaiting a decision from IRCC a FAVORABLE ONE

Remain Blessed Honorable Sir's & Ma's!!!!

Congrats sir, can I send you a message pls.... I urgently need your help

Please can someone help by sharing a list of documents needed for online visa application? I just want to prepare my mind. And how best can I prove family ties?

JustMellow:
Hello Insanity,

In contribition to what you've said, I believe you meant to say CIMA or BCS in IT. BCS would be preferable because of the fast pace to CIMA. If RxOtunba can score CLB 7 in TEF and retake IELTS by maxing out, 472 would be achievable. Another option if lucky is get NOI for PNP.

One love bro

Yes bro, you're on point. Thanks for your corrections.

Cheers!

Dee4Doyinsola:
Please do we have to wait till VFS says they have received the passport before we pay for the return of the passport through their courier services?

I chatted with them and they said I shouldn't pay for return courier until I get the message. These guys are just complicating stuffs with their delays. Like, what's so difficult in processing passport return effectively and swiftly. It's not like it's free.

Dampops:
Since your classes are online...it shouldn’t be an issue at POE. Recall that students currently traveling started their programs in August/September and they are just entering Canada now...

You're absolutely right, I forgot about that. Thanks.

Okay thank you

Good day all,
Please how long does it take to receive request for biometrics after submitting my visa application?

Normally within 24 hrs but sometimes it delays and can take days or even weeks. Mine is almost 3 weeks and I have not received biometrics request

Please how do I book for biometrics, at the vac please it's urgent. Do I travel to any of the visa centres and book at their office.

fratermathy:
Send a mail to lagos-immigration@international.gc.ca. Copy to abuja@international.gc.ca

I have done this and even copied the London office and I was advised to raise a web form. Do I still need to go ahead for the purpose of getting a LOI?

I don't think it will be okay If you just put large money into your bank account now because it will show in your statement that you just put the money unless you can explain it

Hello people,
Please can someone lead me on how to get my GCMS notes please. Thank you.

Hello @Bbio,

Based on my knowledge I don't believe this is true. The claim might be because of the personal messages being sent to people who might be eligible for Nigeria Student Express(NSE) where they are told that their applications would be put on hold until they produce some documents within a stipulated timeline. Other than that , I believe all other normal processing are still ongoing.
However, there are other great minds and gurus in here who might have superior points and correct me if I have erred.
I therefore submit.
