ANBAKO:
I will advise you to take it cool. There are applicants of late June that are still being charged. Never loose hope. You said you want to act fast. Then I think you need to contact your bank. Call their Customer service people, Go to a branch or something. Is your card interswitch? Call interswitch too. You need to act very fast.

Personally, I think this is a lesson learnt for potential applicants: It is better to use a credit (not debit) card or Bank draft. With the case above, there can be failure from either Mastercard, Interswitch or First bank.

I share your pain but I pray it will turn to good news and happiness.

Good day every1, pls I wanna confirm smth. a friend application was rejected n returned at accra based on job mismatch. Now the person is asking if d spouse can apply for the ongoing FSPW since he's more eligible in one of d occupation. Will the rejected application affect the spouse if d spouse wants to apply for d current one?

zeelo2014:
No cause for alarm, June applicants are still being debited. CIC attends to several application dates simultaneously.

Dear All....with humility and thankful heart,I notify my fellow colleagues in the house that I just receive my medical request from Accra Visa office.
Not to worry,I'm FSw2013/2014 ...not the current stream so don't panic.
I use mine as a point of contact to all intending and awaiting applicants for positive response regarding your application.
For those of us just starting now,please persist and forge ahead...the journey of a thousand years starts with just a step.
By this time of last year,I was in similar stages like most of you.
I wish you all the very best in all endeavors.
Cheers.

Morning guys,
Appreciate all the kind and prompt responses to my questions.
When WES got my documents, my status was updated as 'documents received-review in progress'. Thereafter, I got a mail that photocopies of my documents have been sent to my institution for verification, I checked my account and my status showed 'awaiting institution verification' (something like that). After 2 days, I got another mail that my documents have been received and it is being reviewed. On checking my status,'documents received-review in progress'. Now this morning I checked my status and i see 'Evaluation in progress'. Does this mean my institution has responded or Evaluation entails the verification. I need to know this so as to be able to contact my institution.
Though November 5 has been set for Nov 5 has been set for completion.

Thanks

Hello house, you are doing a great job with all the info
My question is this, I used a prefunded master card from fcmb( for footing d bill for my processing fee). Do I need to call my bank to let them know CIC would be debiting my acct anytime...because d card has a pin,and obviously CIC do not have the pin. Thanks in anticipation of a quick response.

Meritl: Hello scrollmeout .
Are you saying it is compulsory that your Bank balance must be obtained on or before the day you sign your application?

damkollins: Whao !
You really took a risk of sending your application without understanding some basic facts!......Didn't you know about this forum then?These mistakes seems like 10 applicants mistakes conbined together!........Lolz
I hope none of these were repeated in your application with CIC now?
I really wish you the best.....and for the love of what you have been through,i pray this will be favourable application tl you.
Cheers.

ANBAKO: Scrollmeout, Can you please share the list of common mistakes sent to you by CIC? I believe it will be beneficial to me if not all member of this forum.
This is because I am planning to send in my application next week and I am scared to get it returned.

House please kindly share your ideas/experience of common mistakes.

ANBAKO: House,
Finally, my application is complete. I will be stamping my account statements this morning with my bank. This is the only outstanding document.

I plan to send in my application tomorrow through DHL.
I have checked and rechecked this application and the document.

All the same I want the house to advise on any common mistakes that are possible....so as to do final checking before submission......
Thanks.

damkollins: [b]Sorry for what happened .
[color=#990000]
Coming back to your returned application.......how come it took you long to send again for this stream when you your IELTS and ECA was on ground? I waited till June because of the revised eligibility so i could apply under a new NOC category since i had more experience in that category.
How long did it take CIC to return it? I received it exactly 3 weeks after CIC got it. Although the processing time was way faster at the time
What's the content of the explanation letter that accompanied your returned application? They have a list of common mistakes, from which they highlight the one applicable. They also highlighted the mistake on my form
Was the second application without original IELTS result also returned? Yes it was returned. That is why i sent this new application but under another NOC category
Some for the series of questions ......the answers will be useful for other applicants in the future.....Soooooo please endeavour to share it for the whole house.
I believe your returned application helped you alot in the last submitted application.....hence it will be successful. My brother my returned application was more than valuable to me. In fact, they corrected areas with little 'overlookable mistakes by crossing out the unnecessary part, For example, your personal details on your International passport like place of birth must be consistent throughout your application. You can't write 'Abule egba, Lagos somewhere and type just 'Abule egba' or "Lagos" somewhere else.

Additionally, they ticked the correct entries so i knew they were error free.
Did you use credit card or DD? I applied using my Firstbank mastercard. Allthough they still haven't debited me
Cheers[/b].[/color]

damkollins: Your returned application ........was it for this current FSW2014/2015stream or the previous?You will be generous enough to share this typo error with forumites here so that they will learn from it and not make such mistake again......we all learn better from mistakes either positively or negatively .
There is a global forum for applicants where everybody share their timelines of all their milestones from beginning to the end of the whole process.With sufficient data from applicants ,the activities of CIC is easily monitored with respect to applications been treated.With this info though not worldwide,it is a representative fraction of the actual applicants for FSW.Please find below the link to the spreadsheet for which I'm privileged to be among the Admin.
http:///FSW14-Spreadsheet
CIC are too busy to give such info out on the actual applications been processed.
Cheers.

damkollins: You need to be calm and be patient.....real patience .
CIC is currently processing application packages received between 12th and 16th of May,2014.
You need to wait for between 4 and 8 months before it will get to your turn.
Relax...calm down andmstop worrying .
Cheers.

Tranquill: You that is a pius crusader of non-borrowing kindly put your real name up here so that at least CIC will recorgnise you and mandate Accra to give you a special preference. Olodo chief judge that feels opening a thread on nairaland gives you the right to declear who has merit or not to apply. Its your type that I liked beating very well when I was younger. Church rat like u because I called you a multi-billioniar in jest ur imbecilic head got swollen. Im sure you even borrowed your own pof and yet to pay back. Solo-slowpoke.

pickabeau1: Not sure they need the ND,,, since the point is to assess the closeness to their own program.. but lets see


To Whom It May Concern is ok...
