Bracha:
My application has been approved. Here's my timeline, and a summary of the documents I submitted.

Online application
Application: 24th of July
Biometric: 25th July
Biometric receipt confirmation: 27th July.
I sent several messages to London, but kept getting 'your application is actively being reviewed'
Sent London immigration the 4th message on 15th December, exactly 20 weeks, 1 day after submission.
Lagos responded on the 17th saying 'my application is being reviewed' 13 minutes after my application was updated to 'medical requested'
Medicals: 21st December
Passport Request/Medical passed: 28th December - 1 week after medical was done.
Passport submission: 28th December
I kept seeing 'no record found' when trying to track my Passport on vfsglobal's website.
Sent Lagos immigration an email on 3rd of January telling them my school resumed on that day.
Correspondence Letter/Application status updated to 'approved': 5th January.
I'll be going to get my passport soon.

Documents submitted:
SOP, BSc. transcript, school fees tuition receipt, sponsor's account statement for 6 months (can't remember how much he had, and he lives in Canada), my bank statement for 1 month, financial support letter from my supervisor, my mum's land deed, acceptance letter.
PS: if there are other documents, I can't remember them now.

Note: I applied twice in 2017 and was denied.
In this application, I prayed, fasted and had an unwavering faith in God all through it all.
I can't give anyone my SOP because I don't know where these documents are right now.

School: Brandon University
Course: MELS - Masters in Environmental and Life Science.

29th November - Biometric correspondence letter
30th November - Original Passport request
3rd December - Submitted passport at VFS Abuja
18th December - Correspondence letter
19th December - Passport ready for collection

Document Submitted
Apart from the normal compulsory document, i also submitted:
- Proof of financial support: 9.2m, self sponsor, 4 months
- My pension scheme financial contribution for 6 months
- Letter of Introduction from the company i work with stating that i work with them and have worked for certain number of years. The letter didn't state that i was going to school.
- Statement of purpose: I hadn't joined nairaland before i submitted my application. So, my SOP was purely from my own thoughts. It was a 1 and half page SOP. I just stated why i wanted to study in canada and why i wanted to study Electrical and Computer engineering. Last year, I was denied visa because of insufficient fund. This year, i applied to another school with a lower tuition fees. I also stated it in my SOP why i was moving from school A to school B and why i believe that i could get better quality of education in school B. Seriously, I don't believe in exchanging SOP's from one person to another. Before you know it, we are all writing similar thing and grammar to VO's. Remember plagiarism is not tolerated over there. Just sit down and get your unique SOP. Give me the guidline and let me develop it myself. Well, this is purely my idea. i stand to be corrected
- Landed Property: Well, i bought one of those village lands in Abuja without CofO. I just attached the letter of agreement from the village chief.

Document not submitted
- Police report
- Tuition fee receipt. I haven't paid tuition fees yet

Finally, Pray, pray and pray. Then, crown it with thanksgiving. We can't thank Him enough but we can thank Him some more. For me, this is the most important thing.

I hope this helps.

Austacus:
Go with your admission letter, int.passport, degree certificate, and the transfer details of what you got from your school eg flywire. Those are the stuff they will send to CBN before they could release dollar for you.

olupentane:
Hello everyone, please I need urgent advise about sending my official transcript to memorial university of Newfoundland.

I have two transcripts, one from my OND and the other from my BSc. I am trying to cut the cost of courier service by including the two transcripts from different institutions inside the same envelop. Will this be acceptable by the receiving institution (MUN)?

Amahjosh:
Hello gurus

I need your input. I just started my process to school in Canada, I am graduate of Computer Engineering and also Certified in CCNA Cisco Certified Network Associate but my Cgpa is abit low 3.24which from my findings i can't get into Masters directly. So i applied to one of the Colleges in Ontario George Brown College GBC for Post Graduate Certificate mid last month for fall of 2019. A friend of mine of mine who is doing is BSC in Canada is telling me that Canada rarely give visa permit to college applicants, that i should apply to do BSC again that i have a better chance of getting visa through a University Admit. I need advice on what to do because i going through that BSC route will be something else, what will i write in my SOP that i have been doing since 2008 since i left SEC sch and can't tell them i have BSC and want to do another BSC. My question is this are there any Universities that do PGD which is a pathway to direct Masters, Are there Universities which that will accept my my Cgpa for direct Masters in Computer Engineering or should i just run with the College PGD application and get admit and package a strong Visa Application.

I am still reading previous threads currently in Part 12 where Osemigho,Maziude,CanadianNurse,bluegirl080115 etc where sharing their stories but i need answers to these questions time is no man's friend.

Bolamike:
Congrats bro. I wish the remaining May/June/July applicants success. I wish myself a future success too o

Goldenegg:
Compliments of the season my people.

So this is my story.....

Applied in April
Refused in June

Re-applied in June
Refused in November

I was so heartbroken and devastated.....
But I just held on to God's promise.

I didn't want to try again.

But the Spirit of God gave me the courage to try again.

So I applied again in November.

God finally came through for me and I got my approval this December.

Lesson : If God has said it, that settles it because He will surely do it. Don't give up. It's not over till you win!

By the way I'm a matured student o, in my forties. I left university over 20 years ago. If God can do it for me, He will also do yours!

To God be the glory! All I can say is THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST MY LORD!

Mudicua:
Congrats. Please share the SOP to me as well.
Email is tosamudia@yahoo.com

[1quote author=lonelydude post=73479286]APPROVAL!

@makano, Bros no vex...overjoy caused it.

Docs:
Very detailed SOP (got a clue from one indian student's SOP on Google).I can share if you want.
IMM Docs
All academic certs
All employment letters (past & present)
Letter of recommendation from my Mentor
Police certs
C of O of property outside Lagos.
Travel History (3 US visas & 3 UK visas)
Self sponsor TB -13 & small assist from my bro for living expenses CSOA.
Tuition not yet paid.Will pay in few days before leaving.

I'm 39 and married.
That was my only attempt but I have previous MSc from Jand over 10years ago.
I had an open mind whether approved or not because I always live with the mentality that Jesus has taken the wheel and that he's on the driver's seat of my life and wherever he moves me can never be wrong for my destiny.

Keep your hope alive because your own miracle, your approved visa is on the way towards you.

You are next to testify.

Austacus:
I think that's where your problem came from
Letter of recommendations is very very important just as a statement of account
And affidavits of support is also important but a letter of recommendations is more important
So let's talk about the 10 million
Is the 10 million a lump sum? (did you receive 5 million, 4, 6,7 Etc in your account?

Or you got it through your job or business cause if you have 10 million naira, and you've paid your tuition fee, you absolutely don't really need a sponsor
So what documents did you use to back up the 10 million naira if you got it through your salary and on.

What again did you submit as a family tie?
Are you married? Got kids?
Any landed properties from you or from your father or mom? Or any thing that might bring you back home like are you so important in any organization (and back it up with proof)?
Did you discuss your family in your SOP?
Did you submit a family picture or picture of you and your sponsor?
Your sponsor needs to write his own letter of sponsorship (not from his bank) signed by him preferably letterhead from his business.


10 million naira on your account and sponsor is a good move though
Gcms note will give us a good and clear idea of how to tackle it.

Josh1996:
Good day bosses, please i'd love the opinion of the house on my intending application. My uncle (sponsor) intends providing the statement of account of his company (fixed deposit account). How can such a move in anyway affect my application.

Thanks

Kinfinity007:
when did u make the payment?, have u been issued a PAWS ID?

gavinmensah:
I will go for fulltime. As a fulltime student you are allowed to work for 20 hrs weekly. This can inly help you with your living expenses but cant pay your tuition fees. However in summer / if you are not in session during summer you can work more hours or get as many job as you like and you wont be going againts the condition of your study permit. . After your study permit you can apply for a post grad permit which you can work for as long as you want. Hope this helps

I also believe you have a good chance getting your visa as a fulltime student than a part time student.

celestine2015:

What do you mean by linked application

goingforward:
Good morning Nairalanders,

I pray for each one of us waiting, praying, and fasting.
That God in heaven will show us mercy and grace on the outcome of our application.

As you oh Lord honour your word more than your name, i put you in remembrance dear Lord concerning your word, according to Mathew 19 vs 23- 30.“With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Dear Lord this morning we reach out to on behalf of myself, specifically for @jnyuwa02, earlier applicants before May, May, June, July and August applicants.

Amen

In our capacity we can do nothing at the moment, but we hold unto your word and seek solace in it.

We put our trust in you Lord Jesus, that you will grant us our approvals.
We command a book of remembrance upon each and everyone of us waiting this week.
We command that the Visa officers will find favour in each of our applications in the mighty name of Jesus.

Dear Lord, show up for each and everyone of us, that your name alone will be glorified In Jesus name, Amen.


Have a week filled with joy and laughter.

Goingforward.

galala123:
All that ends well, is well! 5 minutes of kolomental is allowed per week. May it be well with us and may GCMS notes not be your portion for it is not by how perfect but by Grace and, no matter how bad you believe your case is.... Someone's own is worse than yours.

May we be better, so our children curse us not. So let us channel our energies to positive deeds and increase our level of personal integrity towards building a greater Nigeria. While having my bath this morning, I began to ponder.... Imagine amounts for tuition, visa application, agency fees, Case notes, Transcript, Courier service, etc etc.... If we all contribute just ₦10,000 or even 100 dollars each, perhaps we can start a great cause and build a world class Institute of Technology and College of Medicine and may even attract funding. We need to begin to look inwards as discouraging as it may seem (because maybe the treasurer and exco's go chop the money ab initio sef.... SMH). Forgive me. 5 minutes ranting and self contradictory time!

Not yet 8am and all this vexing. It's gonna be a loooonng weekend. Me sef, I've been seeing mails about picnics, sightseeing, and even parties!
