Team12:
I think you qualify as a simple applicant..**in haquinsBFX's voice***.
Nice docs uve got there. But I dont see payslips and your personal SOA. Please do well to add them no matter how much u have in ur SOA

That is where I become a complex applicant... I work only for experience in my dad's company as a construction coordinator, I earn no salary from the job I do. When I need money, I just ask him. And this has been this way since I resumed early 2014. So thats why I decided not to post anything from the account oo.
I've spent sleepless nights thinking about this part.

ooya twizzie .. I see your suggestion for the other page.. ooya I need help with this part of my application

onuawuchi:

I think it will be very unfair if I don't share this testimony here too. I was a member here for close to a year. I got admit with Lakehead University to study a master's degree but was denied the visa twice. One in 2013 and another one in 2014. But just this morning I got my study visa to the US. One of the words that kept my hope alive is a regular quote here : if it's in our hearts God will some day put it in our hands.

I hope I did encourage someone

congrats...

You guys are doing awesome job.

Thanks

ada4all:
Hi hi folks.

Pls for those that were denied before that were later given after a second attempt, is it compulsory I let them know I was previously denied in my second attempt. Or shud I just apply afresh.

it's very important you let them know because they will find out anyways.they still have your records. so lying to the VO will do your application no good. just make sure you amend the reasons you were denied. there are guys who live and eat this thread, and are willing to help you. so list out your application problems if you have any.

yemite295:
hello!!!!!!!! i am applying for canada student visa and i will like to know how long it will take ...... becaus i heard it takes 51 weeks to process it from nigeria

Yes ooo it will take 51 weeks ooo, sometimes sef it exceeds... even people on page 1 of this thread are still waiting for the VOs to make a decision on their matter... hmmmm

na joke oo.

the duration for each applicant, no one knows but seems 8 weeks na average waiting time around here.

NaD720:


My friend, Don't join the complex applicant oo**in Ugochux and hayqinsbFX*8 voice. You better follow BRT to paper route and stop trying to compress your documents to the extent that the VO will need binocular microscope to view em!

lol it is well

porlo87:


What do you think I should do differently this time

"4. Does what you do in the company relate with your intended program? if it does, what is your highest qualification and what are you going for?"

darefestus has hit the nail on the head.

this is so important

Happy Sunday guys

Team12:
Let me know the size when you are done

btw I'm a sis

oops! forgive me

Welcome jeuelstar

Team12:
I had same issue with my Proof of Funds. What I finally did was to scan as black and white and used the second-to-the-lowest DPI...Better black and white but legible, than coloured with blurred content...

However, my other documents were submitted in coloured!

Thanks bro, lemme try the b&w then

how on earth were you people able to compress your documents to 4mb. my proof of financials alone get like 80 different pages. all from sponsor and i have like 23mb. oh boy.... i have tried compressing but no luck to 4mb. i wanna scan some again and reduce their DPI to the lowest

oga justwise no dey laugh at all oooo. . . but anyways, make we cool the tension for here small because now, na so so good news dey fly around the thread just as he dey reach page 500. this was the thread that recorded the fastest medical call in the history of TRAVELLING TO CANADA. in february, someone submitted on monday and was called for medicals on friday. i so tap into that testimony... infact, i drill borehole and install pumping machine into that testimony. i will submit my own early next week and i should testify before part 8 go reach page 10 ... ok ok page 15......

India has a population almost 6 times the size of Nigeria's population, yet 2 weeks processing time. Nigeria oooo, where exactly did we go wrong.

na wa ooo. so no 1 will agree to review my SOP? he no good ooo

manover:
Please house quick question , @darefestus, hayqinsbFX, invincible2006 Those of you who received Thank you message from CIC, was the message sent to your email, or was it through text msg to ur phone?

My application is more than one month now, i haven't receive thank you message, and i observed those that didn't receive this msg, their application isn't successful! im just scared.. any advice

hahahahhhahaahahahaha you're just being paranoid.... relax, the thank you message won't guarantee anything..

mevisbleek solo8 huzzie i'd also like to send you a copy of my SOP for review.

justwise i sent you an email of my SOP, please review.

CHERIPH:


YES, HOPE U SEND YOUR TELEX COPY TO THE SCHOOL VIA EMAIL. THEY WILL SEND YOU CONFIRMATION/RECIEPT BEFORE OR AFTER 10DAYS.

Thanks for this.. I didn't get a telex copy before. But after I called the guy at the bank.. we resolved it

Conestoga college guys. Pls answer me this...

after transfer of your acceptance fees or school fees from Nigeria, will you be sent a notification by the school of the credit into you student account and how long sfter the transfer will this take?

ddbluv:
Please I want to verify something, I have been given admission to a US & Canadian school, I want to enquire if Canadian embassy hold on to passport after an online application when I get to do my biometrics or would I hold on to it till when its been approved for stamping visa?
Also, how long is the online application and do I need to do a medical test first?

no they don't hold onto your passport. They'll request for it if the VO wakes up on the good side if his/her bed and touches your application that day.

Gtbank done chop me be that and this would probably end any serious transaction I will do with them.
my transaction was charged at 171 CAD, I wonder what was the need for CBN FORM A. imagine 11 Naira difference and I transferred 13,000 already.

I think Gtbank just sold money to me at there own rate, and throw away the form A.

aw mennnnn... GT is now so fckued up now.... sorry about that....

thats your 143k they just swallowed...

that one sef u fit add take buy plane ticket na..

standupguy:



Ogbeni how far, you done finish?

I did a trial payment of 1000 CAD on my student portal with my gtbank mastercard, surprisingly it went through but the conversation rate was 174 Naira.

I called diamond bank they gave me 164.2 with other charges like 1% commission, 2500 naira telex copy and 5% VAT.
It would probably sum up to the same thing with gtbank.

ok so they finally made the transfer. And here's what happened.

I walked into diamond bank for the Form A on friday. They asked me to open an account. I did that and deposited 300k into the account because I just wanna pay the acceptance fee for now 1500 CAD. So because of diesel and all that I was asked to come on monday.

on monday, I got to the bank at 7mins past 1pm and the bank had closed. I went back home.

On tuesday morning, the bank guy assigned to my case called me to come over. And when I got there they asked me to get my BVN number. I had to go back to GT for that.
I had already filled the form A on friday and submitted along a copy of my acceptance, passport data page, degree Certificate and a formal letter requesting for the transfer to canada.

Today, I received an alert of my account debited NGN243,000 for the CAD1,500
change rate @162 no other charges YET! I hope they don't charge anything more sha.

I hope that helps you and any other person seeking to pay their fees.

IN THE EMPLOYMENT SECTION OF THE 1MM1.... FORM, I'VE BEEN A DIRECTOR BY SHARES IN MY DAD'S COMPANY SINCE 2007, DO I NEED TO WRITE THAT AS AN EMPLOYMENT?

(forgive my CAPS)

bros my case no dey ground ooo. so so complications. the fuel scarcity dey add to my problem. im not happy about things right now. but in all her's my conclusion. at GT they didn't have my time and they tossed me around for a full day. nut at Diamond, an officer was assigned to my case and although i had to open an account and all that, things are currently being sorted out and they say payment will be effected tomorrow.

CV (this is the complicated part) for this part I will send pms to the bosses around here to help in this matter. Na personal thing.

so that is all I intend to submit. Please opinion needed

For my SOA I work with my dad and I don't get paid salary, I just transfer when I need money. So I wouldn't be submitting it. because even most times, I take cash or directly from his account. So its complicated trying to explain this to the vo so I just dont wanna put it there.

For employment letter, I don't have any as I am a director in his company. Although the company isn't related I anyway with construction or architecture (because of me though we are working towards creating a real estate part of the company) I work in the company as a director and as a construction coordinator. In the past 2years I have supervised the construction of a building I designed for the company. Can I write enough on this building to convince the vo of my work with the company and how it relates to my undergrad degree and the vo wont ask for my soa since Im not sponsoring myself.

ook my essay is getting too long. For now.....

thats all folks....

standupguy:



Please let me know how it goes, my sister is a staff at gtbank, after Gtbank referred me to there plural branch I tranfered the money her own account so she could help me like she did the last October at 154 rate, I calculated the rate at 164 which is what it is on XE.com but she just called to let me know that it's 171.

Guess i have to reapply and PROOF PURPOSE OF VISIT

i dunno if i am right but one huge red flag i see in this application is, she started a new job in february , you applied in April . i believe VOs won't buy the study leave and promotion letter thing. you know most companies have a policy on the minimum time you have to work before you get a study leave let alone promotion on a PGD. ANYWAYS i no be the VO, this is my opinion just based on the things i have seen here since part 3 started.
