Landing Gist

Hi all!!! I safely arrived Montreal Canada three days ago. I flew Lufthansa from Lagos to Frankfurt (6 hours 30 mins), and Air Canada from Frankfurt to Montreal (7 hours 30 mins). Both flights were very smooth. At POE, I was asked why I am resuming late. I told the immigration officer that I had a visa delay, he further asked if my university is aware of my resuming late, I showed him a letter from my professor, saying he is still willing to accommodate me in his lab and allow me resume the term. When he saw the letter, he said "good, good, we are good". After that he issued my study permit. So for some of you just issued study visa, you may want to ask for a letter from from institution, permitting you to resume late.

Before exiting the airport, you'll pass through another immigration check. Those akpo people search my luggage, and collected my milk and milo . But no wahala, they can have the milk so far I enter their country. You will be asked to declare what items are in your luggage. You have to very truthful. If I was not truthful, I would have been fined, that is a very bad way of entering Canada. Don't bring meat and meat products.

Canada is simply beautiful. Canadians treat you with respect and are always ready to help you, at least that is what I have experienced so far.

For those still hoping and waiting, God go do am for you.

Congratulations... I thought one isn't supposed to send additional document after application has been done. I wouldn't mind sending my transcripts oh... MBA transcript wasn't ready when I did application.

Nothing stops you from sending additional documents you feel could give more credence to your application. I felt my study leave approval further proves my hometies to Nigeria, so I sent it, in addition to a little letter of explanation. The approval letter says my role in my university is reserved for me, and also when I am supposed to resume work.

McGill was on my neck. Deferring was not an option, becos I had already deferred from Fall 2017 to Fall 2018, so I could not defer any longer. I was given an ultimate deadline of 25th september by McGill, luckily, passport request came on the deadline. I kept sending mails and webforms to Lagos, Accra, Nairobi, Abu Dhabi. I even sent to Canada and Sydney offices...lool. Abu Dhabi and Sydney offices replied, saying my application is not being processed at their office but in London. From that day, London office started feeling me...an average of three mails and webforms every day morning, afternoon and night. In fact, my approval came in when I typing yet another mail to the London office.

During the waiting period, prayer was very helpful. I prayed my rosary, yes I am Catholic, like I have never done before. I also visited the Blessed Sacrament. Canada pple sabi humble person eeh!!!

For TRV hopefuls, hang in there. God go do am very soon.

He has done so much for me, I can not tell it all.

Original Passport request just dropped, while I was sending yet another mail to London visa office.

I will share my timeline soon.

For TRV hopefuls, until God opens the next door, praise him in the hall way.

PS: Do I need an appointment to submit my passport?

This one weak me . Bro, you should be jumping in thanksgiving right now. There is no such thing as refusal stamp.

Diijah:
I applied for a study visa in May and I got a request to submit my passport to VFS. Does that mean I’m getting the visa? I’m a little nervous cause I don’t know if they can request for my passport to put a refusal stamp.

Congratulations to all those whose TRVs were approved today. I hope to share my testimony very soon.

The situation can be very frustrating. But let's hope it ends well.

canadabyfire:
No approvals....no rejections....no updates....is CIC on strike??

Site maintenance over. Has anyone gotten any update?

Thank you.

annmmesoma:


I guess 10:30am tomorrow they will be done since it is 3:30am-5:30am eastern time that is written in their site

Seems CIC has started their site maintenance. Any idea when they are going to be done?

Hope their site maintenance brings goodnews.

Canada has dropped the nomenclature "agricultural engineering", they now used biological, biosystems, bioresource engineering.
Hope it helps.

Hadastextiles:
Gud evening friends,
Please I need name of schools where agricultural engineering is been offered.
Please it's urgent
Thanks

yes

Aphrikanna:

Please can I pm you? If its possible for you to just take a look at the email for any corrections. Please and please, I would really appreciate it.

Most universities I have seen accept first class and second class upper into masters programs. But relevant work experience + research publications, especially in a professor's research area can be an edge for a second class lower graduate. Don't forget you are competing with Indian and Asian geeks. Then about IELTS, you can find out the cost from British Council website.

DRscience:
I was about giving up and loosing hope till got access this page.


Good work.

Pls i came out with a second class lower. 3.4

Pls how true is this

The agency i paid said i can't apply for masters, either professional course or college


Now he is saying i have to write IELTS.


Pls are all these true?


Again, howmuch is ielts

Keep mailing professors. You only need one to reply and possibly fund you. The composition of your mail is also important. These professors hardly have time to read long mails. Your mail has to be concise. You may also add your research publications/conference papers as an attachment, if you have any.

The point is how different is your letter of introduction different from other applicants? Professors receive loads of emails from prospective students on weekly basis, and the most difficult challenge for them, in my opinion, is identifying the right student. So you have to get it right from the first mail you send. Your hustle go pay one day.

Aphrikanna:
Hey guys, for those of you who went for research based master courses, how do you do with supervisors? I've been emailing dem and no one is replying my email. Is it just me or there's something I'm not doing right

Congratulations!!! May our prayers be heard

Letter of Intent

My sponsor was my cousin so I included a family tree showing relationship and her marriage certificate since we no longer have the same last name.

I didn’t include my personal statement of account and my home ties were my two siblings in Nigeria and the job prospects that I have in Nigeria based on my course.

First, I must state that my application was nothing but a miracle. After submission, I found nairaland and based on what I read on threads, I had some loopholes in my application like using a business statement of account, not submitting my personal statement of account, and not having the usual home ties like land and other properties.

I kept praying and believing God for his grace to cover the flaws in my application and He showed up for me! Nothing is impossible with God, you just need to have faith and He will show up for you mightily.

Best of luck to other TRV hopefuls

Hello house!!! Please, I am having a mix up concerning my application. I got the biometrics collection letter on 22nd June and went for biometrics capturing on 29th June at the Lagos visa office. Few days later, it was indicated that I have 'completed' biometrics. But I just logged into my account to realize my biometrics status has changed to 'We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.'

Please, gurus in the house, has anyone had a similar experience? How did you tackle it?
