A very long read, you can stop after the Congratulations from the VO. ��
So I have been denied twice in 2021 for MS Software engineering (zero funding). After the second denial, I decided not to go back unless something tangible changes in my application. So applied to as many schools with better application dossier( GRE, Duolingo, SOP Rewritten, Changed Recommenders, Mailed Profs)

I got to the embassy around 6:10am, it's just 7mins trek to the hotel I stayed. The hustlers approached for stapling, told them I be veteran for embassy. lol��

Interview proper:

The very beautiful lady, she just approved 4 F2s going to meet their Dad and husband. I jumped to her front and helped the woman carry her youngest son dragging not move. (Baba, move on time nah).

VO: Let us do your biometrics.
Me: Alright..
VO: Have you been to the US before.
Me: No, I have not had reason to.
VO: What do you do presently?
Me: I work as a software Engineer with *********. My duties includes Applications development, system analysis, coding, testing and deployment. (And some other functions with Jargons as the lady dey nod head dey go)
VO: What will you do after completion of your program?
Me: I will be picking up a role as Senior Research Software Engineer at the National Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics.
VO: Do you have commitment from this place:
Me: ( Thank God for @Euler transcript, I quickly formulated something asking @Tumi if it's right yesterday afternoon) Yes, I have been in correspondence with a director at this place and I am aware PhD is the minimum requirement for this role, moreover with my years of Experience in the field coupled with the advanced skills the PhD would equip me with, I will definitely be employed.
VO: You said National Center...
Me: National Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics ( said it slowly while she types)
VO: Are you married?
Me: Yes, I am married to a lovely wife and I have an adorable daughter.
VO: Will they be coming to join you?
Me: Yes, my wife is presently engaged with her business but she will visit with my daughter and I will also visit them during Summer break if chanced to.
VO: (Made a gesture of one, as in one daughter)
Me: I said yes, one daughter for now. ( She types)
VO stood up and went to bring blue papers and pink, I was like Mama, no do this nah, she went back to pick the white ones and said Congratulations, this paper will tell you how to pick up your passport.

Collected the white paper and left.

You welcome That was a nice trip
i wish mine too will happen

Landing gist

Nigeria.

My flight was 11pm, June 27. I planned to get to lagos airport very early. I left for the airport at 3pm arrived

Lagos airport was very chaotic.
I willl advice you arrive very early. I figured I had excess luggage and what I was carrying as my carry on bag was too big. I wasn't perturbed I was ready for it. I rearranged my bag and paid for one bag extra

Then I went to check-in at Air France desk.
They said they need to profile my passport and ask for documents. (In my mind I was like when Naija start to dey sound sweet like this. In my mind I was like Oga which documents do you need im ready for you!)

He only asked for Arrive CAN..vaccination card and international passport. He signed and added a white slip behind my passport saying Im cleared I should go and check in.

Then we waited in this long Nigerian immigration ( before you join this line they give you a yellow form to fill..just join the line with your phone... The line was sooo long and their system was down for like 45 minutes. 3 or more people missed their flight... Again got to Nigerian airport early.

Then we proceeded to board at the right to time.
The food in air France was really nice.
Tasted like yam and stew porridge...the type in the Esau Used to sell his birthright loool. We landed in CDQ airport France. At 6:25 am on 28th

The airport was different, better and more excellent than the Nigerian airport. I had to plan myself for my next 10 hours layover. I asked if I have access to a lounge...they said I have to pay 50 euros for it. My seat mate at the lagos to Paris trip was going to Toronto too..so we were navigating everything together

France CDQ airport is very awesome no hassles. Everything here is computerised. Just swipe your boarding pass and direction shows in a computerised map.

But the issue was our flight to Toronto wasn't showing on the screen yet because it was like 9 hours away nor was it written on our boarding pass. We asked one of the officials..she scanned my boarding pass and viola! My Gate appeared.. Gate K55. We had to navigate to The K area of the airport...we used a train to get there.

When I got to the gate area....then Place was really soft and chill. They had normal chairs.. Sleeping stretchers... And sofa beds. I slept for like 3 hours woke up..got something to eat... Connected to airport wifi... Make calls updated my folks about the trip and all...

My flight to Toronto was 4:40pm...they opened the line to board at 3:20pm

Here they asked for letter of introduction. (I heard the Indians murmuring that this is new..they never ask that here)

I boarded.. We took off...at 4:50pm... Landed at 7:00pm Canadian time...but there was a long queue...so we had to come out of the plane at 7:24pm

There was a really long walk...to the self service machine before getting to immigration for the study permit.

Where you scan your passport..and print a ticket..this ticket is what determines the line you join.. They were a lot of people! Especially from Ukraine.

I joined the study permit line. They were like 50 people ahead of me. When it got to my turn.... The VO was looked calm... I told him he has a nice haircut.. The guy smiled..he was like no one has told him that all day... So he asked for my passport.. Said he will need my Letter of introduction...so I brought out my file..he was like wao I came ready.. I go..you bet! lol...

He said I had a back charge and PFL from last year....I was like yeah. He said he sees that I made the payment. I told him I have 2 friends that have the same issue and they have waited for up to a year (the guys are in this group) he said he would have asked for their UCI but there is some confidentiality clause around that. That they should send a webform stating all the details.

Then he went to print my study permit. Then he said welcome to Canada!

I left...my bags were waiting for me.

The person to pick me up was waiting. I left the airport at 9:16 pm (Toronto time)

tag him u tagiing wrong person bro

i ask him too

Oviebright:
Did you submit statement of account? And if you did. What was the closing balance. I know it's confidential information.

Zammuell:
PLS HELP!!!

Hello
Pls i need an honest and urgent advise on a bothering issue.I applied for Uk tourist Visa is Dec 2020 through an agent who did everything that needed to be done,all i did was just go for submission…By January i picked up my passport and i was refused,i asked the agent why and he told me it’s because of the 2nd Covid lockdown,he didn’t forward the refusal letter to me because he didn’t use my email,he created a new one to that effect.
I got an offer in Uk and while i was filling a form,i am to answer a question on if i had been denied before which is YES,and i was asked to upload the refusal letter which i didn’t have.
I reached out to the agent and after about 4days of trying to retrieve the email addy he used,he dropped the letter yesterday and the reason for refusal is completely different from what i was told,it turned out to be something on ‘deception’ as stated in the refusal letter.
Right now i honestly don’t know if it’s ok to go ahead with my application which is for September intake,i just want to know what my chances are,and what can be done to fix this error.Has anyone had similar issue,how was it resolved?

@justwise and member of the house..Pls am posting for a friend.. can she go ahead with the school deposit or back out??

Congratulations

Bro i was just reading tru you have done a great Job on this forum keeping it growing.
i want to ask a question regarding to the bank statement submitting for the study visa it stated on the website i search now that it must be the stamp by Ministry of Foreign Affairs in your country
is that a most??

and also did you take you medical checkup here before you apply or it when you arrive there before u proceed with ur medical checkup

mekanta7:
Currently I'm still in the school accommodation for now, but I will be moving out next week to my own rented accommodation.
The infrastructure here is absolutely great. As a student your bus pass is free, medicals is free upto some certain extent. The power supply is steady, the power has never gone off since I arrived here. This is a perfect retirement Island for Europeans and Americans.

ooh sorry about that i always think u are a man

meljoe:
Lol I’m a lady but thank you

baba add anything addable

meljoe:
Good morning everyone
Is it compulsory to add a child school id and resumption letter from school as a document when applying as proof ?

how was the outcome

fatimar5:
Well… I am not sure when it changed. I heard that it used to be 2-3weeks before I applied but after my submission it took 3 working days for me and 4 days for my colleagues… but the courier, if you pay for that, may take additional days.

nice

Abeg I am not a guru but let me try:

Aside from the regular documents they mention here (Bank statement, payslips, letter of intro from employer or proof of ownership of business, copies of past visas) Please include:

Marriage certificate to prove relationship (for you and your wife)
Birth certificate (for child)
Letter of sponsorship for your wife and child if you are covering their travel expense
Your wife's bank statement even if you are the one sponsoring
Individual cover letter for everyone applying - Very important
And of course, each member of your family should have a copy of the flight booking, hotel booking, and insurance.
You will also need to provide bank statements for each member of your family if you are the one sponsoring

please can u tell this sign please

DIY will surely frustrate you!. I did DIY at Alausa passport office sometime in April. I know the stress i went through to arrange the file. I visited today to get update and they wrote NRF on the collection slip. I asked what NRF means, the officer said it means No record found and i will have to arrange the file again. I was shocked. He said there is nothing he can do. I dont even know what to do now. This country is messed up with corruption and its really frustrating. Please who can advise on what to do?
