skentelelady:
This is 3 years as it is written in your LOA. You have to factor in the break in between the sessions. Though the total is 29 months with the break that will make it 3 years. This is my opinion

wow this one shock me o
[quote author=Doyenrey post=120927621][/quote]

well it happens to me i dont know about yours oo try your luck

Yemi234:
Hmm, I had the same note in my passport when I got my first France visa last year, but I didn’t go back to Vfs. I never understood what it meant nor had anyone who understood it too. Also, I travelled to Côte d’Ivoire a day after I came back to Nigeria from France so I wasn’t even around to make the appointment if I had any info on it.
Does this mean any harm or perhaps future applications? Should I be scared? Cause I’m at the verge of applying for another visa and this has me worried. Is there a fix?

THANK bro it 2 year

wish to get my PPR too so I can join you for conestoga this year also all the best baba

OLAMINREWA:
Hello, note that advance diploma programs are mostly 3 academic years (6 semesters) as stated on your LOA. Each academic year to be completed in 8 months...That is what I can deduce from that letter. Please wait for contributions from others.

GL

THANKS BABA I APPRECIATE

Bobomaigida:
3 academic years = 8 months per year.

8 months * 3 = 24 months (2 years)

So your duration is 2 years.

All the best.

Zazozhe2022:
List of documents. I submitted 31st of January and it was issued on the 7th o February and I got it by ups on 8. 1 week interval.

I am a company owner but yet I still pay myself monthly salary. Tax card. Land documents, marriage, daughter birth certificate, my house tenancy agreement. CAC. Just make you demonstrate strong ties to Nigeria. And make you you run the account like you are the owner. Only my salary that comes into the account nothing else and I use it as daily activities. So it shows I’m spending my salary.

you need to go back to the center like i said
to tell them

oluwaVaz:
I paid online, booked appointment last week and am done with capturing and biometric...will the nin correction be update automatically?

Zazozhe2022:
Hello gurus in the house. I just got my first France visa. I followed this tutorial here from everyone and God made it possible. My question is that do have to present Covid 19 negative test? And I saw a paper attached to my visa that I should present myself to VFS upon return. Is it mandatory I go there when I get back?

congratulation on your first visa it could be nice if you share your timeline and document submitted for others too to learn from you as you learn too

Let me mention that I did not include Police character certificate, land documents or other property documents because I do not have any of those things. It is true that 2 applications cannot be the same, sometimes too much of documents even can get Visa Officers confused. The above listed documents were all I submitted. It is good to read people's TL to be encouraged but some TL will get you intimidated and confused. My application was a self- sponsored. And all I submitted as POF was 10.4m

I am a first time applicant and I have never traveled out of Nigeria before. I never enter plane before self despite the fact that I work at the airport until last month that I went for medical and biometric. Travel history is not a criteria.

The total of my tuition for the 1 year is about 20,000 cad + 10,000 cad living expenses+ 3000 cad miscellaneous.

How I addressed POF.

My salary is around 100k. I knew for sure that it is too little to present as monthly earnings. what I did was to use all the 1.7m I had in 2021 to buy Toyota Corolla. I planned running bolt with it for a good 1 year before submitting my application. I explained that I drive my car on bolt platform on part-time basis anytime am off duty. Each month I make sure i make over 100k net profit from bolt. I submitted 12 months MBS to show that I truly make such money from bolt. I collected a loan of 8m from a co-op society, collected 2m from a friend because I knew the 8m won't be enough to show as POF. I wrote in the LOE that this my friend was a long time friend (classmate) which was true. He had sent money to me (vice versa) severally in 2022. I also showed pictures of us together in 3 different occasions (in school,at my engagement and at a function) and also included his international passport. Someone in Canada even advised that I should not include him that nobody gives anyone such money in Canada, that even parents don't give their children money. But I had no other story to cook because the money had already been sent to my account. I also made sure I paid 1m into my spouse account to augment her salary for her and the children's upkeep so the VO will believe that nobody go press my neck for money in Canada. In my LOE, I also mentioned that while I would be away, there is an arrangement on ground to employ a driver that will drive my car on a FULL TIME basis with weekly remittance of #30,000 to my account and to be managed by my spouse. The weekly 30k + my monthly salary+ other annual benefits from my employer resulted to additional 3m+ (about 10k cad)

How I addressed hometie

Apart from the fact that my family (spouse and children) and job are strong home tie. I became a volunteer with Red cross society of Nigeria just for the purpose of ID card and pictures, and I got that. I also collected a letter from my church. You can buy a pet (🐶, 🐱, 🦁, chicken 🐔) and add it to yours as hometie in your application. Include their vetinary cards and other documents.

Please note, keep your application as simple as possible, no allow NL use TL press your neck. Submit your application as early as possible so you can have peace of mind, and plan your departure well. All the experience I have today was gotten from here because I have been following since 2020. I also handled a friend's application last year. Submitted application Aug 16, 2022 and PPr Dec 26, 2022.... In all one cannot rule out the importance of prayers. I read here where people engage in different and lengthy spiritual practices. I also prayed and fasted for just 3 days and God got involved.

Submit your pending applications now......

I pray that God will come through for as much as many applications this year, especially those ones that that overdue/overstayed for a decision.

I'm available to answer questions hear....if you come to my TL for private engagement or documents, na billing ooooo.... Looking for Raba noww

ok wish you best of luck

joefit4gur:
I have not submitted the second application. Probably early March.
