Guys, I'm innocent of these accusations. It's not like I love acting grandiloquent with my grammar neither do I come out to sound verbose or something, but I'm a logophile and a wordsmith; hence my proclivity for maybe not sounding too "plain" lexically sometimes.

Wow! Wow!! Wow!!!!!!! I'm not an ambulance. I'm just ecstatic. My EOR is back!!!!!!!!!!!

CAstruggle:
Generally, your application will follow the below path after the submission.

BG: Not Applicable (NA1)
Medical passed – (MEP)
BG: In Progress (IP1) – R10 check is done here.
BG: Not Applicable (NA2) – Eligibility check is done here.
BG: In Progress (IP2) –
BG: Not Applicable (NA3) – Sometimes this doesn’t come
PPR: Passport Request
CoPR: Confirmation of Permanent Residence
So it is in below order

AOR – NA1 – MEP – IP1 – NA2 – IP3 – NA3 – PPR – CoPR

AOR: This is a letter you will get within 24 hours after submission of your PR application.

NA1: “Not applicable“. This will be your BG status message as soon as you submit and get AOR. Typically, this will be status till the time you get your medical passed status.

MEP: “You passed the medical exam“. This will generally happen after approx 25-30 days after your AOR. For PNP applicants it can take more time generally.

IP1: This will happen one or two days after your medical. Sometimes on the same day itself. BG status message in this stage will be “Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.”. CIC agents will do R10, criminality checks during this stage. Once they feel everything is good then they will change it to NA. These things will happen at CIO Office (Centralized Intake Office).

NA2: “Not applicable“. This will signify that IP1 is completed. Sometimes IP1 will take few hours and if we have not checked our account during the time it was in IP1, it won’t be possible to know that we are in NA1 or NA2. Our file will be transferred to CPC (Case Processing Center) where agents will do eligibility assessments. If they feel everything is okay, then they will provide their recommendation to Visa Officer and same time they will initiate Security Checks.

IP2: BG status message in this stage will be “We are processing your background check. we will send you a message if we need more information.“. Visa Officer starts reviewing or after reviewing all agents recommendations. On the same day, PPR request will be triggered if the applicant paid RPRF up front. These things will be done at CPC office.

NA3: “Not applicable“. This will signify that IP2 is completed. This status is not visible is many cases and direct PPR request is placed from IP2.

PPR: Passport Request. You will get an email for that and you may not get an update in your CIC account for this.

ADR: Sometimes an additional document is requested in IP1 or IP2 stage. An email, as well as message in your CIC account, will be sent.

It's not like it's a confirmed theory , we have just discovered that majority of people with uk history, wether they got the visa or not most times get LVO.


Better you submit schedule A upfront. It's sometimes not requested even with history of past visa refusals. It depends on officer reviewing your file.

Let me give u real case scenarios.
I and my Bestie did dis cana waka together.
We both had uk refusals in the past...


Me- I had one uk visit visa + one refusal + us refusal + recent us visa --- i got london vo + schedule A adr
My friend - He also got uk refusal twice but no uk visa ....he also got london vo but surprisingly no Schedule A adr.


So it depends, no one know the exact rules, people sha sometimes observe a trend which is also not definite everytime.

sleekysilk:
Yes just go to the head office in Ijora and ask to see the personnel manager. Though not in CIC format. Just the standard introduction letter to the embassy stating when u joined, resigned and position u held. Also I am guessing you have one certificate of service they usually give when one resigns. Plus u can contact your then supervisor who can help u with your job description on a plain sheet and add his complimentary card.

Dazol!

Folaroyal:
Well said.... nothing missing. Regards.

maziude:
Hello guys,

I am supposed to have done this a long while ago. I have been held by reseearch and other activities. I apologise.

The chinese government scholarship popularly referred to as CSC scholarship gives you the chance to study fully without paying a dime. There are various categories, but I would like to stick to the postgraduate studies(Msc and PhD).

Application info can be found on:
www.csc.edu.cn ...The site is written in both english and chinese and also self explanatory.

*It is also advisable to contact prospective supervisors in your intended school as this will facilitate your acceptance and eventual admission.

PS: This is just a general post. As time goes on, I will keep updating.
Should you have any question, you can post it here, I will be happy to respond to you.

Thanks

The problem with a lot of training programs in this country is that students are not given proper orientation. That is why I like foreign training programs. Before you start a course, you should be told the things you must know, the things you should know and the things that are nice to know.

For instance, if you have no knowledge of what a database is and what database management systems are, you have no business learning Oracle. You should be well grounded in the principles of databases, database design and implementation first before learning about a specific database engine.

Oracle is a database software by Oracle. It is usually used by enterprise companies because it comes with a hefty price tag. The reason it is not so common is that there are Open Source (free) alternatives that would do the job quite well. Some include MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL etc.

If you had the fundamental knowledge of databases, learning a new software to manage a database or a new database engine would be a walk in the park. For instance, I use MySQL engine for programming. To manage the engine, I have about four software installed on my laptop: PhpMyAdmin, HeidiSQL, DBForgeStudio and MySQL Workbench. They all do practically the same thing but have their use cases. One engine; four softwares.

So my brother; go learn about databases; know how to design a database schema from the ground up. Learn about relationships between data entities and how they can be modelled; learn about normalization and optimization. When you know all these; then go relearn Oracle, MySQL, SQL; NoSQL and learn how to write queries!

simiolu1:
Before going anywhere to learn about databases, try a Google search for Microsoft Virtual Academy or MTA database fundamentals. You would definitely get one or two introductory courses to databases by Microsoft for free.

Oracle is a proprietary software. So you need to learn about DBMS before learning the specific engines like MySQL, PostgresSQL, MongoDB, Oracle, SQL or even NoSQL

If you can, download this book: Database Design, Implementation and Management. It is like the Bible of database professionals

Promise005:
Good evening house, wow I have really learnt a lot from this forum. Kudos to everyone keeping this page alive. I really wish I had discovered it on time. Please what can I do ? I was refused my trv in April this year on purpose of visit and travel history. I applied to university of Regina for an undergraduate. In my application I omitted the fact that I have been refused American visa twice I didn't realise the gravity of this omission until I stumbled upon this thread. I want to re apply and state my refusals in this new application. I know they already have my records in their database. Please, what can I do? I regret my actions gravely.

bbclue:
Lols guzenaira you no seriou.....everyone should help him out...shei una wat kill Austinpee4.....bro it is well like u said order for your gcms note come back here and asked d gurus to help you. ....a last u will sing praises

jnyuwa02:
This is rather puzzling going from first denial based on insufficient funds and trying to tackle the problem by paying your fees, only to get slammed with purpose of visit, travel history and insufficient funds. Perhaps you didn't write a statement of explanation with your second application detailing your passion for studies and what you intend to do upon return to Nogeria? What are you studying? Hope not PGD? Your application was handled by two different VOs it's clear to me. The second one that made the decision on your second refusal was at discretion to make his/her own independent decision and so did, adding two more reasons she/he deemed you ineligible for a TRV. Order GCMS notes and let's take it from there.

Arebo:
.

Sorry about the denial bro, did you change your program this time around? ...this was the same question I asked just days ago, if it's possible to tackle a reason for denial now & get delayed again for another reason, the best bet it to tackle all aspects to avoid stories that touch even if one was denied for just a particular reason. It is well

guzenaira:
Sorry for the delay and I must really commend you for deactivating your silent mode.

At the bolded above, that guy is still the person that will help you out.

Your case is purely different and easy and I want to believe that had it been you tackle the 1st denial properly, then you ought to have been in Canny by now. But all th same, that man who is your personal person can surely help you.

Smiles...
Sorry once again.

Order for your gcms notes and let's tackle the matter.

Abiodunne:
Good morning my people.
Update on my application: Just got a message from CIC this morning asking for a new letter of acceptance.

maziude:
Hello guys,

This post is for those whose programs are research or thesis based whether Masters or PhD. Please ensure your supervisors trust you enough to handle deadlines.

The supervisors here (and I am sure else where) are particular about deadlines. So meeting these deadlines is key to gaining their trusts that you can work alone with minimal supervision if need be.

In most cases, before delving in into your particular research area, you will be required to do a survey of papers in your field. This survey would normally be in the form of papers reviews (Published papers related to your research areas). Please note, you don't have to read the entire contents of a paper to know if it suits you or not. Read the abstract first; if it contains what you need, go to the technical area and results sections to get what you want. This is not the general principle but it is enough to get you by.

Most times, your supervisor MIGHT assign papers to you to read or you might have to get it yourself. To do this you need to search databases related to your research area. I am only aware of Springer (http://www.springer.com/us/), ScienceDirect (http://www.sciencedirect.com/), IEEE (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/Xplore/home.jsp), Elsevier (http://www.sciencedirect.com/) and the famous google scholar (http://scholar.google.ca/). In most cases, your university have access to this databases as such downloading journals from these databases are free and readily available. But remember to reference them.

When doing surveys, you might most likely forget the papers you have read, so it is better to use a good referencing system. I use citeulike (http://www.citeulike.org/). But there are others too like, mendeley (https://www.mendeley.com/), endnote (http://endnote.com/), etc, use that which works well for you. The good thing about this Bibliography sites is it helps you organize your references and you can link them to your online latex platform.

When it is time to write papers for conferences, journals or any technical papers, please use latex. It makes your work tidy and beautiful. Don't worry about downloading the software, just use online services like www.overleaf.com , www.sharelatex.com etc. They have templates for almost every journal.

Finally, when you are stuck in your research, ask your colleagues, fellow lab mates, your network, and your supervisor. Remember, it is better to ask than to assume.

Godspeed and wisdom in our pursuits.

Warm Regards,

Mazi

PS: for those who are non-thesis based, I will find out about yours and post it here in due time.

ADEWUMIMichael:
Jesus relied on the Word of God alone to overcome obstacles, including the devil. God's Word is alive and powerful (Hebrews 4:12), useful for correcting us when we are wrong and teaching us what is right (2 Timothy 3:16).

WORRY
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

jnyuwa02:
CIC's website says you can get a refund for withdrawn application, all at their discretion

Judgepelumi:
Hello house.... I have this very Question to ask.
1. Ok.... If one's application has exceeded processing time and no update, is it advisable for one to withdraw his application?
2. Aside people who have made attempts to withdraw their application and it turned out to be a medical call, as there been any situation whereby one's application is outrightly withdrawn based on the person's request even after exceeding the processing time.
3. By carrying this act, will one also get a refund of app fees since it's more like the application hasn't been processed/decided?
Thanks
