PLEASE HELP ME.
Good afternoon house. Please I need urgent help. It’s been over 8months since my application, I got a response in March about my Medical which I passed. I saw on here last week about a web form, I filled it and also sent mails to the Canadian embassy in Kenya and Beijing and no Response yet. Please what should I do next? My school is in Vancouver, British Columbia. Please what should I do next? Should I send another set of emails or I should wait. Today makes it 7days since I sent the mail. Thank you

Hello
Please have you ordered for your GCMS note??

Longjonjoe:


I applied same 7th of October, i did an upfront medicals 25th september before I applied. Still no medical request or medical passed on my portal.
Lets hope it’ll end well

I did the upfront medical after submitting the application.

All will even well

My Upfront Medical last week has been updated to passed yesterday

October 4th Applicant

See my status as attached


It will surely end in praise

Legacyedition:




Lolz. GCMS nah 35days o . You wey your medical status done change.. lemme oo

We are all anxious ooo. Even me self dey check my browser like 5times within the hour .

eligibility review started On your application yet??

Legacyedition:




Do you think I should order another gcms note to be on a safer side, Application submitted October 5. GCMS ordered on 24th. I don't know when they do get the Note, if its the first day of submission or the day they sent it. I don't want to waste time waiting. Should incase the first one won't carry much info. Thanks

My brother/Sister,let’s calm down . I submitted my application on October 4th too. Eligibility hasn’t even started though have done upfront medical

I think it’s only advisable when eligibility has started and considering time has passed and still no response from IRCC that one can order for gcms note.

My take !!!!

Good day All,

I did an upfront medical at IOM last week Wednesday and submitted It on Friday last week.
My account reads we are currently reviewing your medical results on IRCC website .

Does that mean IOM has forwarded the medical details to them cause it wasn’t part of the one I uploaded .

Note: Application submitted on October 4

Thank you

Hi all, good morning.

Please if you applied for study permit between first week of October and now, lets connect and keep ourselves informed. I applied on the 4th of oct and did biometrics on the 19th which was uploaded same day, but my eligibility review has not started. I am really bothered about this and just want to know if I am alone in this or it is just the normal timeline being followed...

Same here ooo

olasubomy:


You are not alone bro, i applied same day with you and having the same status. Fingers crossed. It will end in praise.

Hello ,
You are not alone bro . I have done my biometrics too
I applied same day with you .eligibility review has not even started yet but am doing my upfront medical today .

All the best to us all

Mideyo234:
Thank you!! I added my transcript actually.

This is really helpful, thank you.

Hi , I guess the VO’s concern were basically on ;

1. Because of your age and maybe still single . You are mobile and may stay back at Canada . You can tackle that with good home ties and property by parents

2. Your employment prospects after acquiring the degree. You can work on this part too and present practical jobs that you can take with these degree and salary scale of people in that same industry.

3. For the third part about your grade, I think the VO is looking at your grades and he/she is not satisfied that you can cope with cyber security . I think you can tackle this by demonstrating how tough the cyber security certificate you possess was and the work you put into it to acquire such an important degree.How you have improved yourself over the years. You can also demonstrate What you have learnt so far in IT Security

All the best bro . We are all in this together .it will end in praises as usual

olasubomy:


Hi Sivamania,

ooh Apologies, i guess i did not get you right before. Please can i ask, has IOM sent you an appointment confirmation date yet? Have you made any payment already?

Yes they have sent me appointment confirmation date and time with reference number
They also added instructions for payments to their standard bank account

Hope that validates the appointment

Also ,I don’t know if I should make the payment online or go to standard bank( very scare here)

Thanks

olasubomy:


Hello Salvamania,

Both panel of physicians are okay depending on your route. If you elect to use IOM IKeja please send an mail to iomlagosmedicalbooking@iom.int to book your appointment. They respond to mails. You might not be able to reach them on the phone lines now, i gues due to COVID.
They will respond to your e-mail with instructions on the next step. Please once they have confirmed your appointment date. Make your payment in earnest and go there with your evidence of payment, face mask and copy of your international passport.

From my experience with them, they are swift in sending result to the embassy.

It will end in praise.

Thanks Olasubomy

What am saying is that I have booked an appointment online with IOM for November 4th

But , another message prior to that booking was that the next available date is November 19th upward

So I don’t know which of the two is valid or what to do next

Good day everybody,

Am trying to book an upfront medical . Sent mail to IOM and Qlife. They both responded today that the earliest possible date is November 19th, and I should reply with some documents to secure my space .

But have already successfully booked an appointment online with IOM Ikeja for November 4th 10:00am


I don’t know which one is valid now cause I don’t understand them.

Thank you

milkytins:

Well, I did.
I also clearly stated the reasons for this new program in my SOP. My B.Sc., M.Sc. and PhD are all in Computer Science and I need to specialize in Data Science and apply it to Healthcare. And we don't have any program for Data Science in Healthcare in Nigeria.
Computer Science is a general program while Data Science is a specialised program.

I think what you can do is to breakdown how data science will be helpful to you and how you can use to help healthcare companies

It’s going to be a whole lot of task. U will need to tell the VO how Specializing in Data Science Will help you career growth and the benefits with the fact that it’s a new field and you want to capitalize on that

Generally, you just need to let them know how the course will benefit you as a lecturer

milkytins:
Pls kindly help me to analyse this case note.
I applied for M.Sc Data Science at TRU but already have B.Sc., M.Sc., and PhD in Computer (OAU). Also note that the officer didn't mention family ties as part of refusal cos I added my family to my application with enough POF.

This is a very nice record but I think the VO was explicit with his/her concerns

I think the major issue is that the MSC seems to be lower than your other qualifications and maybe you didn’t justify extra benefits it will bring to you at your work place

Good day All

I submitted my application for MBA October 4th . I have done my biometrics but eligibility has not even started till date

Will it be advisable to do medical down or wait considering the fact that January is almost here or I should wait till they request for it

Thanks

Maybe we can learn from this ;

House, I submitted application 2 weeks.

Submitted my biometrics yesterday and it's already updated.


Can I apply for my GCMS note now since it's going to take 35 days?. Thanks.

Same thing here but they haven’t started eligibility review yet. Have they started same on your application

Grace001:
Please house...A friend of mine would like to know if 7.5m Naira will be enough for a statement of account to process a Canadian student visa (2 years msc program)

With a tuition fee of Cad $20100 (5.8m Naira) for a year. Thanks

First how many years is the program, because he will have to show proof for subsequent years too

Also there’s a mandatory 10,000kCAD for living expenses he/she has to show along side money for Tuition and there should be little amount left in the account after all this

So let’s look at it

20100 + 10,000= 30,100k CAD * 300 = #9,030,000

Taking into account other factors I mentioned earlier , I don’t think it will be enough

Other Gurus will shade more light also

All the best

TimAke:
PPR just dropped guys. I'll give a detailed update soon. Let me catch my breath first

Congratulations. I tap into this blessing

May the Almighty grant all our heart desires

Hello Waliyusuff

A tip for working on your previous statement of purpose. Written by @lekkiboe


Guidelines on How to write an SOP (Statement of Purpose)

Most important thing: Avoid Plagiarism

While writing SOP, the following things to be mentioned which will boost chances of convincing a VISA OFFICER and possibly getting a STUDY VISA APPROVAL:

1. Introduce yourself in first paragraph. Write, what kind of person you are, your interests and personality etc. This may also include one line background of work & study you did earlier. This should be related to the course your are going to pursue.

2. Explain what do you know about the area of study you are applying for.
Like HR, Marketing, Finance, IT, Multimedia, Engineering etc. Market trends, application of knowledge in work, organisations/roles where you can work after studying in this XYZ field and if possible, 1-2 real life example where you experienced this personally (in your current job or someone in family who works in this field etc.)This shows you are well read and know what you are getting yourself into.

3. Now explain Why Canada.
Mention all points Canada is famous for like low crime rate, diversity (which helps in learning), livability and quality of life related statistics etc. Facts & figures help you here. Google a little

4. Why this particular college/Univ. Explain ranking of the same or relevance of course being offered or if someone known is studying there etc. Mention positive points which you can gather from ex-student's testimonials and college website itself. Again, write in your own language and by your own understanding.

5. Why this Program:
Mention why you chose this program. Explain how courses (subjects) of this course will help you in your career, how some of these subjects you have learnt earlier (basic knowledge) and need better and upgraded knowledge about these (especially if applying for PG/masters), explain application of subjects in real job scenario etc.

6. Summarize with reason of coming back to home country: Now summarize all details by mentioning your career goals and what will you do post completing this course.Mention how this course will help you in making your career in your home country. Be passionate about job market of your home country and coming back to your country. Because "You'll not leave Canada" is one of the biggest reason for Student Visa refusal.

7.Travel history
If u av not travelled bfor, state the reason why u av decided to travel at this point of ur life, and how important the program is to ur career & personal development back home

8.Family Ties-Hime ties
U can talk about how children are apparent to family inheritance, and how u are obliged to take care of ur family (parent and siblings). U can attach their birth certificates

Secondly, talk bout Landed Properties (Documents, deed of assignment, Deed of conveyance,survey plans and other important doc.) to of prove ur Hometies

9. Proof of Funds
Mention that you have paid ur tuition fee or made a deposit of ur tuition fee and so so as amount has bin set aside by your sponsor for ur Tution fee (if not yet paid), so so amount for ur One year Living Expenses (might be more than one year) and so so amount for ur flight itinerary

10. Final Note
U can end it like this or in ur own language
Dear Sir/Madam, I hope that you will find all my documents in proper order and I kindly request you to process my visa application as soon as possible. I am very much thankful to you for giving me your valuable time to process my student visa application.


Your Sincerely,
Write ur name and Surname


Happy Writing

3) You’re asymptomatic.

Hello...congrats in advance...May it be successful by God's grace.

Pls How did you pay for ur 235CAD (application + Biometric fees) ?? Was it through your naira debit card or what??

Also, which conversion rate did you use to calculate the naira equivalent of ur fees (tuition, living expenses e.t.c) ??

Thanks for the best wishes

Well my uncle used his access bank Visa card to make the payment and it was very fast (within 2 minutes )


I used the rate on 2nd October which was #287 to a CAD dollar and I quoted same in my SOP


All the best

Happy Sunday ,

I just submitted my applications online now
When are they likely to send me biometric letters cause have already booked biometrics in advance for Tuesday

I don’t want to waste that opportunity

Thank you

Hello Silvamania

You need to input just the tuition for your first year there.

For living expenses (Room and board) you need to input at least 10,000 Cad. If your letter of acceptance came with a recommendation for living expenses then you might have to use their figure.

For “others” you can put 3,000 - 4,000 cad

The important thing is when you add you tuition + Room and board + others, it shouldn’t exceed the amount you have available for your studies.

@Justmellow stated his own opinion about filling this section, I’ll tag you in it.
There’s really no fixed rule for it.

Thanks so much

I think I get it now

Please how do you fill this part of the IMM1294E form


The cost of my studies will be ;

Tuition
Room and board
Other


Funds available for my stay


Assuming first year tuition is $20,000 And subsequent fee is $18,000


How will I go about it ??


Thanks

Please ooo

Am a civil servant applying for study permit into Canada

That form for temporary resident permit applications where they said have u ever held any government position


Will I need to fill this form cause am confuse with the world “”held”” cause am still active at work


Pls advice me

Evening NL,

Please anyone to help me review my SOP

Thanks

Evening ,

Please when filling the form on temporary resident Permit

There’s a column for if u have held any government position before , disclose time and period


As a civil servant that’s still active , do I need to fill this form cause am looking at the word ‘held before ‘

Thanks

What a day !!!


What I see here today is so embarrassing. I think Mr Frank has helped a lot of people on this thread and some of us have been silently reading and acting on his advise and come here for clarifications including the accuser

He doesn’t deserve this kind of treatment or accusation without any evidence at all


But people will be people

Let’s move on please

Positive vibes only
