Lol.....Applied March 12, Biometrics March 16, Eligibility review started April 30, Medical Request May 1, Medical done May 3, Medical passed May 6. Since then, it has been on background processing and eligibility review since then. .
12 weeks counting, should I send case specific email for update or still hold on for CIC.

If you chat with vfs they will send you an email address to send your complaints

Epic
Applied April 11th
Background check for 5weeks+
Went on eligibility review 6th week
This is 7th week...the wait continues..

Applied April 11th too. Background check 3 weeks. Eligibility review entering 5th week now.
Does your background check show "completed"?

pemilabelle:
Sadly my application wasn't approved..... I have been a silent reader.

I submitted my application 6th of April(early hours of the morning), was able to do my bio metrics same day. Submitted an upfront medical report...... NB:online route.

Undergraduate abroad, had good financial standing from my sponsor. Am gainfully employed, with 10 months experience and still counting, after I got retained in the company I served in(a year plus 10months)

Was denied on the ground that the VO wasn't convinced I ll be back after my studies. NB there was a letter from my company to prove ties.

Please what else would I have added to prove ties?
Also what's the fastest way to get a gcm's note?

Sad. So sorry. Please when did you get a reply?

Lemia:
I applied April 11. I did upfront medicals.

Still on BG check and eligibility review. No update on medicals.

Do you feel inside you that its gonna be positive? Most likely.

Looks like applicants from April 10 are in two categories: Rejected or No reply. Ive not seen any applicants within this pediod got a medical call. I'm I right or wrong?
Please indicate where you belong let's know ourselves. Hehehe.

Jewel80:

Wassup Prudent any news?

Deafening silence

Canada student visa process is a kill-joy

MeinKampf:
Read what you wrote up there slowly and ask yourself if you made any sense. Where's your warped fantastically corrupt mentality is coming from? If you are lazy to think, don't think everybody else is

It makes all the sense because you are thinking of innovating ways to misrepresent. You wish they don't check the account so you coukd lie that the money is meant for studies in Canada, then turn around and withdraw it for another purpose. Where I'm from this is called deviousness. You guys make things difficult for other Nigerians.

MeinKampf:
I think we need to know this, so we can start to sue our banks for breach of privacy. Why would a bank disclose my balance to any organization, except law enforcement agencies?
It's not always fraud. What is wrong in deciding to transact business with my money that will still be available to me whenever I need it? Must one tie down his money because of application for visa? I haven't come across anywhere in CIC rules that your money can't be used for other purposes pending when there's need for it. I think that's why some people are asked to either show evidence of payment or money in a Canadian bank account before a final decision can be made.
These are my opinions though

Now, this is a fantastically corrupt Nigerian.

Jimmychuks2018:
In as much as it does not interfere in the decision, it makes them to hasten the process!! My wife's Dean wrote to the embassy when they were delaying and within days a decision was made. It was when she got to Canada that she saw the letter self. And then when I applied for my spouse open work permit, my wife's doctor in Canada wrote to the embassy that she would be undergoing a caeserian section and within days of writting that letter, a decision was made and my visa was refused. The letter does not have anything to do with their decision but it helps in fast forwarding the time.

Did they email the letter to the embassy handling the application?

Phocusjosh:
11 weeks gone again, no update after medical passed 20days ago.

Chai. I thought the white man were quite efficient in doing things? It appears not.

jnyuwa02:
I think you should see my letter written by my school and tell me whether it will influence a visa office decision or not. I am happy to share with you if you are interested. The prerogative is strictly with a VO to make its decision about a case I agree totally regardless of what a school says. But what a school who has made an award to applicant, depending on what is said, can carry strong weight and help in the visa decision. An evidence is on record already on my Gcms showing there is a back and forth between CIC with my institution (initiated by CIC), so it kinda goes against the claim that an application is strictly correspondence between an applicant and the VO.

USASK willingness to come into play in ur visa process is great news for you. Has your eligibility review now started?

joe10:
I applied April 13th still praying and waiting for final decision as today makes it 6 weeks as stated as the processing time when i applied. I just dey fear but God dey sha...

Has ur eligibility review started?

Steper4u:
But I thought it was been said that Canadian immigration don't check records with Africans countries only with USA, Australia and other European countries.

When did you apply for your visa since you said you're been delayed too?

If they check ur criminal records even at home country, why wouldn't they check other African countries? I hope u know background checks go even as far as checking the authenticity of your employment?
Applied April 11

Steper4u:
Lol these are the countries I have been to; Benin, Togo, Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire

I was born in Côte d'Ivoire and I had almost all my education in Ghana though I'm a Nigerian

I said it. Your own delay is explainable. Not like some of us.

Steper4u:
Eligibility review says "Your application is in progress..."
Background check "We are processing your application..."

You most likely have extensive travel history? If so I learnt they will have to grab your immigration files from those countries.

Steper4u:
Have been keeping this to myself since but I can't continue keeping

I applied for a student visa(online) on 17th February, 2018

Did my biometrics on 18th February, 2018

Till now no update on my application online

I'm really disturbed ohh, is that how Canadian student visa does delay?

But what is your online dashboard showing under background check and eligibility review?

sogima:
This Canada process is so unpredictable, no update since I last did my medical. It almost 3weeks. I passed my medical was thinking by now I should be updated about the final decision..

Is your profile still showing background check in progress or its completed? For how long did it show eligibility review before your medical call?

kobyfresh:

This forum was really helpful. Thanks to everyone who answers my questions and good luck to other applicants. Your approval is surely on its way. And don't forget to PRAY, very important.

Congrats. For how long did your application stay under "Eligibility Review" before medical request?

JoseJonn:
Hi Jeremy its going on well dear. We bless God! Eligibility and background check still running tho. ...waiting on CIC to blow d final whistle oo!

It will end in praises by His grace.

For how long has ur eligibiity review been running

Josh1996:
from the last time I spoke with the Graduate Admin. .they had not started evaluating my winter 2019 applications (that's the period I applied for) as they were just rounding up with the fall entries.
wait, so does that mean that my application file would still be sent to my potential supervisor for assessment despite her agreeing to be my supervisor?

Your supervisor will review ur application and recommend u for admission. If she does that, u are as good as taken.

Josh1996:
Okay. .I have been calling the lady and have been getting good feedbacks. just worried about the supervisor not responding to my mail

Has ur application been forwarded to ur supervisor? If no, she doesn't have anything to tell you.

Josh1996:
good morning bosses
please I have an issue. I was able to secure a supervisor at University of Ottawa for my MASC program. she told me to add her name when filling the application. since when I completed the application I have sent her 2 mails telling her that am done with the application and she hasn't responded. any reason for me to be concerned. Thanks

The person u should be contacting more often now is the Graduate Admin. Your supervisor will not see ur application until they have forwarded to her. Note that some graduate admins may not forward ur application without u disturbing them.

joe10:
Please gurus in the house... How long does it take to receive visa rejection/refusal message from IRCC. Will it still take the 8weeks processing time to get it or it comes earlier?

Also, would it be a red flag to apply for a study permit to study for a professional program without paying a dim for school as my acceptance letter states that i must have a study permit before i can pay my registration fee and register for my courses. I attach this document to my online submitted application on the 13th of April 2018 but yet to receive any update on my status.

Thanks

What is your eligibility review showing? Do u have travel history?

harde116:
Hehehe, so i used to check my application online everyday to check for progress. So i got busy this last weekend, so i couldn't check it.

Today i got a message saying, "there have been no updates on your application since you last checked".

Please is this a norm or they miss me. LMAO!

It's been a little over 4weeks since i applied tho.

Have they started ur eligibility review?

Martswoll:
Sorry Boss,
I applied on 28 February, did Biometrics on 1st March . Received medical mail on 10th May,
Did my medicals May,at the Children’s practice Ikoyi on Tuesday,15th.

After request from the CIC via my account, When do you think I’ll get an update on the medicals and passport request?

I applied through online route.
(Modify) (Quote) (Report) (Share)

I understand the outcome of your medicals would be updated at ur online account within 3-5 days. But on when your trv will be approved, CIC is the most unpredictable organization ive ever known. Lol

Martswoll:
Hello House!

Did my medicals at the Children’s practice Ikoyi on Tuesday,15th. When do you think I’ll get an update on the medicals and passport request?

You have not told us when u applied, when you got the request and whether you linked your application online ( which should indicate the status of your medicals)

Maxihyfr:
On d space for biometrics it reads.. We do not need your fingerprints.. Didnt you do biometrics?

This is how it appears for all paper applications

Newman1010:
