What privacy? Are you kidding me? You submitted every single info about you to the embassy AND signed a disclaimer that the info you submitted is genuine and true then the embassy called the bank to verify the same info you have given them and you called that breach of privacy?

What planet are you from?

Steper4u:



Thanks I will do that. But the days it takes before one gets the GCMS note is discouraging

I applied march 19th denied may 8 on purpose of visit , i have addressed their questions in a well detailed sop ,, questions is can i re-apply with all the previous documentations i used, are they still valid at this time. i will appreciate your response, help a sister out abeg

Aallizzwellwole:


Thanks boss. I don't know how the guy just reasons that way.
Pls I want clarification on this, because am seeing this for the first time. It's possible to inform me that my

16th of May, I got an update that,
i)your background check is completed
Ii) you do not meet the eligibility requirements
III)your application is refused

17th of May, I got another update that
I) we regret to inform you that you did not meet the eligibility requirements
ii) we regret to inform you that your application was refused

I don't understand what they mean with the two updates and I don't know if anyone have witness this before.

harde116:
Errrm,

It's been 4weeks since i applied online, and i have not heard pekem. The only thing that changed was "biometrics updated".I understand some people applied way earlier before me and it's the same, some have also gotten updates in less processing time.
I've signed into my CIC account more than i've used google in the last one month.

From experience, what's the likely processing time before one begins to get updates. Basically, this is just to get have another date i'm counting down to.

BTW, i've been to canada, USA, and Turkey and i indicated them, i've been reading several travel history, don't know if this counts cos it appears travel history now delays instead of giving assurance.

Thanks guys, and God's will be done in our lives.

GIFTY11:
Pls, we still haven't heard back from the GCMS note, we applied on the 3rd of April, a friend in canada assisted us. We sent an email on tuesday, yet we haven't heard anything.

makano:
Izzit ur religious? We have seen applicants put up a tight application and still got refused and we have also seen applicants that put up a "not so tight application and got their Visas" button line is prayer is key. Necessary documents or no necessary documents ,all still reguires prayers. If u DNT wanna put ur "necessary documents" in prayers, u have no right to stop those that wanna do so.. Respect other people's input.

GlitteringStar:



True.

Martswoll:
Does this occur every month end ? Am waiting for medical call , eligibility under review. Exactly 2 months since application.

Floki90:


Anybody care to answer !!?

Eichie123:
i dis not apply for study he told me it was working permit visa so what kind of admission coukd that be

Eichie123:
you are right when i ask the agent after some months what was the problem he said to me that canadia source he is using to get the document is not ready yet so i just thought of forgetting the whole thing and move for a different country, so i never called him again. Just for him to call me just last week that the delay was over and everthing is fine now that i should ready for biometric on monday 22 april

jnyuwa02:


I am not interested in attacking anyone as much as I am interested in facts. The figures have been debated on too on the SOWP forum and the take is that one figure by @Ratawau is for PR and family sponsorship and the other by @goingforward is actually what CIC uses for assessing international students applying for SOWP. The figures are diametrically opposed and cannot be both correct for assessing SOWP.

philoxy4:
Good afternoon gents and ladies,I need a clarification.I was reading through the canadian wesbsite on preparations to enter the border.I read a place that says i have to show the immigration officer i have funds to cover my study at POE.Will i have to print a new bank statement from my sponsor or the old one i used for application is sufficient?

jnyuwa02:


This is actually correct because that is what CIC always recommends if you are applying for SOWP. The principal applicant has to show an additional $4k for spouse and $3k for every dependent child or minor.

goingforward:


I am a bit confused with your response and i disagree.

For a family of 5 for 1 year living expenses is 10kCAD (for primary applicant) + 4kCAD for 1 (adult dependent) and three children 3kCAD each

This sums up to 23kCAD

In naira its about 6.5million. (1year living expenses)

Please, how did you arrive at 20million

Going forward.

Aallizzwellwole:
Hello Gurus in the house.. I really commend yours effort, the shared experience and advice given to me, which has been the driving factor that kept me going.

Please I've come again to seck your advice, I received a message from the embassy yesterday that

"In the current application package, you submitted a bank statement purportedly issued by FirstBank that has been determined to be fraudulent"

It's my personal bank statement Of account not that of sponsorship bank statement and I was given seven days altematum to respond to this information and my application will be judged base on the respond I provide to them ... Please I want you guys to put me through .
I will be very happy to hear from you soon. Thanks

Toronto!! Here I come! #DreamsDoComeTrue

Martswoll:


Seems like having a travel history is a double edged sword. CIC is just so unpredictable, I applied 28th February , no medical request till now , just eligibility and background checks still under review and processing till now . My only trust is in God.

Asihanmi:
@ goingforward, thanks for your contribution.
I applied via paper route for my study permit.
I travelled from. US to Canada in January 2017 spent two days then back to UW before coming to Nigeria.
I travelled with my child and nephew ,my spouse didn't travel was back home busy with studies.

Thereafter I applied for study permit in May 2017 got refusal letter in July reapplied February 2018 got refusal letter in March 2018. All application have been via paper route.

Well you have a point, I recall in February 2017 as a sort of test run I registered my express entry profile online but didn't meet anywhere near cut off point never felt it would matter. More so that my study permit was via paper route.

I still appreciate input from experts in the house.
Anyone with similar experience that later got study permit after first attempt.

Oladimejii:
Good evening everyone,

I submitted my Canada Study Permit Application sometime last week. I received a mail from VFS that my application has been submitted. However, I have been trying to link my application online to no avail. I also noticed my application was forwarded to the Lagos Visa Office and not Accra. My VFS tracking also starts with CALA rather than the usal GHAN. Do the Canada Visa Office in Nigeria now process Study Permits? Someone help, please.

Thank you.

veravanna:
Hi Guys,
I have been a silent reader and I wanted to commend you all on the community-style help being offered here. This is the real Nigeria, people helping each other.
I wanted to share my profile.
I applied on 19th of March, Paper route, upfront medicals.
Diploma in Nait (Chemical Tech) after getting a BSc in Biology in 2011. I have been working as a technologist for the past 7 years in different countries.
I just got invited for medicals today but i already submitted upfront medicals. Please guys, how do I go about it?
I think I have one of the simplest profiles here. 2M bank statement, employment letters, 2 pages SOP, all forms filled, father's bank statement, police certificate, birth certificate of family and former degree certificate and a lot of faith in God! Thats it.
I have been secretly praying for you all, next week will have a lot of good news. mark it!

Emmasonic4me:

The English is very clear. Or do you want something like... "We regret to inform you that... We wish you well in your future applications"?

They specifically stated you should email them once you have a new score uploaded and also said you should let them know if you want to withdraw your application. This means they are giving you chance to get the seemingly ONLY impediment to your admission.

Quickly give the exam again and hope you get the required score.

Banks039:
Hello house , if my application is rejected , how soon can I reapply for study permit , my notice of acceptance covers Jan 2019

croyance:
Thanks I really appreciate your contribution. besides, can we both travel together at the same time?
