STEPS TO CANADA ONLINE VISA APPLICATION

Hey there, Tired of waiting, and feeling Frustrated with the Canada visa Paper route processing time?
The solution you need is right here. Online route is all you need to get going

Follow these easy steps:

1. Visit www.cic.gc.ca to register……Click on Apply online, you’ll get a prompt asking if you have applied before……Click NO……you get the next prompt asking “What are you applying for?”......Select STUDY PERMIT………you get another prompt asking “Have you used our online questionnaire to find out if you’re eligible to apply?”……your answer here should be NO since you’re applying for the first time, but if you’ve filled the questionnaire before then you can click YES.

2. After Clicking a NO to the Eligibilty Questionnaire question in step 1 then it takes you to an info Page……Just Click START……..Now that you’re on the getting started page…..Take your time to read the instructions……And then Click NEXT……Please fill in the Questionnaire correctly as these will be used to generate a Checklist code for you to upload your documents on your myCIC account.

3. After completely filling the Eligibility Questionnaire you will hit the “Review your answer page”……Please scan through to confirm your answers to the Questionnaire…….Then Click CONTINUE…………It will take you to a page were your CHECK LIST CODE is boldly written……the one I generated for mysef now is OX2980052333(plsssss this na my own code oooo,go generate your own biko).….Please copy your CODE or save that page or print that page……Just don’t misplace your own checklist code biko…..if you do, then you will have to fill another questionnaire all over again to generate another checklist code….. Please note that the checklist code you generated has expiry date(probably 2 months) so if you plan on generating the code make sure you use it before it expires else you would have to generate another.

4. Now that you have created your check list code the real application begins……you will have to re-iterate from Step 1 by visiting www.cic.gc.ca ….Click on Apply online, you get a prompt asking if you have applied before……Click NO……you get the next prompt asking “What are you applying for?”......Select STUDY PERMIT………you get another prompt asking “Have you used our online questionnaire to find out if you’re eligible to apply?” ……at the point click YES........It then ask you “Do you have a code that looks like this: QK4350881372?”……..Click YES…….Then it takes you to “Create myCIC account page”……Click START.........Now you’re at the page……Click GCKey Login…….since you do not have a Username and password yet then click REGISTER FOR A NEW GC-KEY........After you must have registered…..It takes you to terms and conditions page….Just click I ACCEPT……….

5. After clicking accept….it ask you if you already have a client ID which is also known as UCI number…..if you had previously applied to CDHC either through paper route or other route and you were given a UCI no please click YES…..but if you are just freshly applying to the Embassy then click NO…..Then it takes you to the Mycic Enrolment were you will fill your names, DOB, Country of birth, passport number……Then click CONTINUE…..Next is to create your security question …… click CONTINUE…….Then it ask for your email…..enter your email and click CONTINUE……. you get to your main cic page were you get to click APPLY ONLINE……….It ask you for the checklist code(remember the code we created at the beginning)…..

6. Enter your checklist code……..Now it takes you to the checklist questionnaire review page……Please note that you can still modify your questionnaire on the fly if you are not satisfied with some answers you provided…..all you need to do is click on MODIFY…….When you are done reviewing the page, click CONTINUE……Then it takes you to the part where you get to upload all you scanned documents……View the picture below to see what it looks like……

7. Please always click the question(?) attached to each upload section….example:- once you click the (?) attached to “Proof of Means of Financial Support” you will get these long lists
• your bank statements for the past four months
• a bank draft in convertible currency
• pay stubs
• an employment letter
• proof of assets or business
• proof of payment of tuition and accommodation fees
• tax reports, declarations or statements
• proof of a student/education loan from a financial institution
• a letter from the person or institution providing you with money
• proof of funding paid from within Canada, if you have a scholarship or are in a Canadian-funded educational program
• proof of a Canadian bank account in your name if money has been transferred to Canada

All you need to do is look for the documents you are able to provide on this list and then Copy and Paste them into a Microsoft word after scanning…..Save the document as PDF format in other to get a lower size pdf document…..if at the end you shrinked to pdf and you still have a larger size pdf, then please download a pdf compressor www.pdfcompressor.org

This is just for a section of Upload…..there are other Upload section(check the pics) were you need to also shrink documents to lower size….Please do this right and make your documents as clear as possible after shrinking.

When you are done uploading all docx......It takes you to the Review page.....Click CONTINUE.......Now you're at the payment page....Please make use of Zenith or First bank master card.....It has been tested and trusted to work on CIC platform.

Now that your application has been completed....always watch out for any message in your cic account....usually they notify you via your email of any pending message in your CIC account so always check your email regularly

Please note that these steps also apply to Visiting Visa application.....Just follow the Instructions for Visiting Lobatan!!!

take your time to study this well….Its practical so do not be scared to read all…..once you get going with it on your PC/Laptop you would see

famolino: Morning all. I just got my personal checklist number and the next thing that shows is GCKey or Sign in partner (which I think helps in creating MyCIC account or something). I need guidelines please.

Chrigo dropped the full procedure for going about this. I can't remember the page. Jst check his posts

chrisviral: Happy Birthday!!! And A wonderful BD present you have... Congratulations.

Chris tap from this o. This is good

Chatters: To God be the Glory! I finally received a letter to submit my original passport; 4 days after doing my medicals at Prime Consultants, Port Harcourt. They are not slow after all.

Applied for TRV - June 23rd
Biometrics - June 26th
Medical Call up – July 23rrd
Medical Done – July 24th
Medical Passed – July 28th
Passport Request – July 28th

I have waited this long to tell my story. The road has not been easy; it is one filled with suspense, drama, doubts and fears. Exactly one year ago I started this journey. The most difficult part was getting admitted for a M.Sc. thesis in a university. I applied to 6 universities, 3 rejected me and 2 put me on their wait list pending the availability of a supervisor and 1 accepted me. My last encounter with a potential supervisor left a bitter taste in my mouth. After accepting to supervise me and stringing me on for 5 months, the professor backed off because according to him his expected funds did not materialize. I was heartbroken but I did not let that stop me. I put the last university that accepted me on hold because I was hoping to go with potential supervisor who eventually developed cold fit. Old members of this thread know my story very well.

Through it all I have learnt that it is not what I want that matters but rather what God wants for me. Fast forward to the TRV application process proper. I had mixed feelings when the desired SOA I really wanted was not fast in materializing and the ending balance was not what I had hoped for. I wanted to give up but a part of me told me to trust God for a change. I did exactly that and today my TRV is loading. I wish to thank every esteemed member of this thread that has taken out time to ask questions and provide answers. My gratitude goes to God; my help in ages past. Ojap – who took time to proofread all my statement of Purpose and also encouraged me. To my dear sister in the struggle Funmi, she has been a friend indeed throughout the better half of my struggles, her insights were really helpful, my prayer is that God will reward her accordingly. How can I forget Nicemax, he took time to personally call me even with his heavy workload in school; he offered useful insights that proved indispensible. Ahh, there are others like Chrigo, Chizzy01, Jijola – my debate companion, lassky, and Olumide from the USA thread; though he doesn’t know this or me for that matter, his tips on scriptural references to read was indeed God sent. There is also Xtus and Realone01; they showed interest in my application. If I did not mention you, please bear with me; you’re all precious to me. If you have been delayed know that delay is not denial. Try, try again, the last try might just be it.

I will come back to share my tips and the documents I submitted later on. You’re all valuable and blessed. Perhaps, you’ll wish me a HAPPY BIRTHDAY at the same time? I came, I saw, I conquered!

Respect!! Congratulations!! Happy birthday

emperoracro: Gegeun! Oga Rawlizo don vex! ;>

Bros nor b vex o. Jst some clarification

humanshado: Congratulations for achieving a 1st class degree, no be beans o.

With your 1st class degree I will advise you to go for the very best universities and include one middle level university as a fall-back. According to Times Higher Education ranking 2014, the top three universities in Canada are:
1)University of Toronto
2)University of British Columbia (UBC)
3)McGill University

I will advise you to choose the top two and add University of Victoria since u are already inclined to it. My reasons are:

1) Employers will be more inclined to consider graduates from top universities
2) These are research intensive universities with large research funds, so getting scholarship is a possibility but competitive
3) If you intend to do a PhD in another school, you will have an advantage because you are coming from a top university
4) The provinces of Ontario where U of Toronto is located and British Columbia where UBC is located have a programme of nominating international postgraduates in Science and Technology for permanent residence without even having a job offer

I won't advise you to go to MUN because it is ranked very low, though it is cheap - No offence to those studying there.

You can start browsing the research interests of professors in the schools you have interest. Tailor your research proposal to what they do and start contacting them. The earlier the better, you can start it now. When you contact a professor make sure you sell yourself by showing your research capabilites and express interest in his or her research area. if you have published a research paper mention that too.

BTW, I started my program in UBC in January 2014 but deferred and came back home to sort out some things with my employer. You will love the city of Vancouver, it is beautiful, though a bit expensive. Am preparing to go back in January 2015 God's Willing. cheers

I beg to differ. 24th position out of 97 universities ain't a very low rank. MUN isn't that bad

And I see kids there. Like seriously? Why take your kid to a place lik this

Amefrica: Hello house!

Just wanna ask -- can someone who has his TRV already, defer admission?

I have my VISA already but I wanna defer till winter, to tidy up a lot of things before leaving. Has anybody done this before? Hope there would not be any problem at the POE? I might leave around November to start January.

I need everybody's input(s).

Regards
Amefrica.

Very feasible.

lovelydamsel: My dear we are still waiting on the Lord o and VO.

Still in Naija

Fhemmmy: We give thanks to God oh and how is your own side, sir

Very well. Hope you dy warm up for your gala. Reaching you soon

Fhemmmy: For a PGD, even if you have a Ph.D degree, it will not affect you, it is a program where they understand that someone wanna brush up with skill or pick up some skill and all that, however, for your own case, it should be ok cos you are already in that field with a degree in it already . . . But i will advice that you ave a good finances together with good purpose of travel as well as great tie to Nigeria cos they could see it as well as you wanna run, though that could be your intention, you cant allow them to know such. . . . Good luck

Bros I greet you. Hw's family sir

Chatters: Thanks my dear. I was thinking of doing it at PH. its kinda close to my location.

PH is also close 2 mine, bt I had 2 gt my ass 2 Lagos 2 do it. And twas a very gud decision.

Chatters: My people it has finally happened! I indeed serve a God of miracles..
