leki10:
Hello, congratulation.
I am new here.
I applied for admission at calgary for spring 2019,please can i contact you for enquiries? and how

thanks.

Yes please. Which school did u apply to?

canadabyfire:

When was the visit from BCI to your house? before August 1st, 2018 ?

Yes. Did you come with them? ...Lol

jnyuwa02:


What kind of people showed up at your address? Whites of blacks? Embassies are known to do such random physical checks. Recently I talked to a proprietor of a school who told me an embassy sent some men to come check the validity of transcripts submitted by an applicant. This is the first time I heard Canada does such physical checks. Please can you explain more what these people wanted from you?

Thanks @jnyuwa02. I am surprised too...according to my wife they are blacks (a lady came in while a man was outside). They identified themselves as a staff from BCI (Background Checks International or so)... I have never heard about them before. They spent like 10 minutes asking questions about our relationship, her place of work, number of kids, who owns the building, where we were staying before relocation (Probably they wanted to confirm the information I provided on the CIC forms). Shortly after I got home and she told me that they just left.....I quickly dashed out to track them but without luck. Fear con begin dey catch me...why me because I have never heard about such on this platform. Also, when I applied for US Visas for my wife and kids......they questioned her (because I was not allowed in) on the kind of work that I do...especially when they saw Libya Visas....but they never said anything about USA, UK, UAE and other Africa & Asia Countries I have visited.

I am suspecting they just started doing this physical checks or may be they pick some applicants at random like you earlier said. Only God knows what they are looking for upandan. It is well...

Ezriela:
Congrats Shegx,glory be to God

Thanks Ezriela.

Lagos2canna:

Congratulations, I'm happy for you

Thank you so much Lag2Can.

Osemigho:
When I see multiple invite from Nairaland, I know someone don cast something. Lol. How una Dey?

As I have always plead, student applicant are advised to check express entry. Trust me, The benefits are more than lower school fees.

For those going for masters without scholarship and would like to get a professional job afterwards, please volunteer and network well when schooling. Use your 20hrs/week off-campus permitted work to explore causal or part time professional employment in your field/desired organization. For those with scholarship, it is Kuku not your money. Otherwise, IMO, same advise apply. I am sorry to break the news, “man-know-man” dey Canada but they call it referral.

All the best.

Senior Osemigho Abeg I need your experience urgently!!! Kindly PM if possible... I had earlier sent an invite. Its been long we hear from you. Hope everything is going on well overthere?

Doyenrey:



Congrats!!!!


Please, what documents did you submit?

Thanks Doyenrey.

Documents Submitted:
- Applicants CIC forms (although omission and mistakes in the section: tuition fees, room & board and funds available for my stay)
- Uncle's account statement ($24K) and financial support letter
- Friend's Company account statement (N86m) and financial support letter
- University Admission deposit receipt ($500) and online application payment receipts ($145 this year & $130 few years back)
- Retirement Savings Account statement (N2.3m)
- My Registered Company CAC Document

Supporting Documents:

Observation: Does the CIC come for physical background checks? The house I reside now is my personal building and I forgot to include the document in the application but It was used in the registered company as office address. About 2 people came to the house shortly when my status changed to "Background checks is in progress" to ask my wife questions.

It shall ALL end in praise for those waiting IJN. Amen.
