for guys getting this error from the CIC website, i have been able to deal with mine.

SORRY ...
this on-line service is currently not available.

Possible reasons:

We are currently updating this Web site.
We are experiencing technical difficulties.
Please try again later.


use another laptop or PC and try using another browser on that PC.
i was getting the error for 3 days straight on Google chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer on my laptop
so i switched to my Desktop and used Internet Explorer,
Voila.... It worked the first time of asking,
but when u refresh sometimes the error comes back,
if this happens to you just keep refreshing.... it'll go away.

cheers.

CIC website is really misbehaving ooo. i can't access my application. i'm getting the same error the others are getting.

ugosh:


Please which application did you use to reduce it from 28mb to 5.02mb ?

here's what i did.

scan picture

Open Word Application

drag and drop all pictures into Word application

Now this is how you reduce the quality/size

click to select one picture

look for the "FORMAT" tab at the top of the word application (it should be the last to the right)

click it.

when you do, the icons at the top should change, so from the Top Left Corner, look for "compress picture"

click it

uncheck "Apply only to this picture" & select E-mail (96ppi), click on ok



save your word doc. and check the size again VOILA

ooh boy, the TRV hopeful list don't look good oooo. but God dey.

has anyone been able to find a way around the errors on the cic site.

my dear pipo

From the latest trend even a blind man will notice more college applicants are been delayed and u can't get into Canadian Universities Masters program with anything ess than a 2.1. Who can suggest the best way to cross this hurdle.

apply to a college
prepare your Visa application
pray to God
and wait for medicals. . .

mevisbleek:

Graviton2:


No need for that, bro. I am reapplying soonest.

get an additional sponsor. it should go a long way

tnuola:


Just calm down cuz I know how you feel. I was delayed earlier this year also, so I know the feeling, you really gotta brace up, and I think you should try one more time.

The purpose of visit is the biggie, I think what you're doing now doesn't tally with ur intended course of study and dts where d prob lies.
You can switch to a course inline with what u do now, within ur school and once u get in, you can switch back to info tech.

For the family ties, you can have a letter written by one of ur siblings that he/she will look after the business while you're away..

Trust me ur case is simple, just two reasons.. You need to see the plenty reasons in my refusal letter

manover may i suggest that you try Logistics and Supply Chain Management for masters and apply again if you are still interested, with a powerful SOP of why.. and of course that's because of your inheritance.
when you get there, you can swap course to what you initially intended, well that's if you are still interested anyway

twizzie:
Simple! It only shows you are passionate about the Coy for you to be able to work FOC..Stress the point that you are currently undergoing a training period where you are been trained by your dad with the future plan of you taking over some day..
You can still print your SOA and probably highlight the cash lodgement by your Dad(Except he gives you cash sha o)
All in all, make it very obvious but subtle that the Company is going to be left in your care in the long run, hence the investment of a sound education on you!
Cheers!

twizzie i'll send you a pm

Ugochux:


No matter how you package your app, there must still be a loophole somewhere unknown to you..
The truth is, if they want to fault you, they will...

they are like the Nigerian police.

manover:

Travel History ( USA "Visa still valid till 2016", Germany, Malaysia, Sweden, Kosovo, Japan, Bulgaria, Austria, Serbia, Singapore
Italy, Macedonia, France, Greece, Dubai, Switzerland, Netherlands. All visas and stamps was scan & submitted including passport page.

Bros, you be flight attendant??
no offence... see travel history, even the V.O never travel reach you

Cannyhopeful:
Hello beautiful people of Nairaland. Please i need some clarification on an issue. My application was refused some months back and I intend to reapply soonest. In my earlier application, i included a letter of study leave without pay. However, some conditions at my workplace have changed and my employer would be issuing me a new letter of study leave with pay. Would this sudden change in the content of the study leave letter (i mean without pay and now with pay) issued by my employer raise any issue? I was wondering if a letter of introduction from my employer stating that the management had reviewed my situation and decided to grant me study leave with pay, would suffice.
As many that will render advice, I declare that you will never lack quality counsel in your lives . Amen!

just for the sake of curiousity, your username cannyhopeful ... so shey after you get TRV you go change username or

tnuola:

Mcsammy4u:
