Sorry it was confirming , did you link your application online?
When did you submit your application?

Fram:
I linked my application last week Friday.

Fram:
Hi guys, I got a correspondence letter yesterday. Although I submitted my passport when I did my paper submission in September. So what does this mean and how close am I to getting the final approval mail. Already passed medical btw. Sorry for asking jamb question. I just need answers

Kendrick213:
Chief please I need it too...thanks.

goingforward:
All documents were uploaded online. I used ilovepdf.com to reduce and compress my file sizes.
It was stressful, I had to go back and forth reducing all docs before getting an okay quality with the 4mb size for each of the upload.

i also added some docs to my spouse and kids profile.

goingforward:
They responded to PPR for my spouse after i had sent an email stating that i had ordered my GCMS to know the situation of my application. After my spouse own came then we got approval for the family.
I sent this email 1 day after i had ordered. I ordered for it 1st week in November. My GCMS has not even come yet.

makano:
Application under active review = They are currently reviewing if you are eligible to study in Canada (Even tho Eligibility review has started on ur profile or not)i.e Ur finances and If the documents you submitted actually proofs to them if truly you are a genuine student or not.. Application under active Processing = They are currently doing a background check on you i.e Criminal records, Travel history to other countries(If you have any criminal records in the countries you have visited and also if you have at any point overstayed in those countries) e.t.c.

*LONG POST***

First Application
Submitted: 4th April
Biometrics: 5th April
Delayed: 29th May
Reason: Purpose of visit, insufficient fund to pay fees without working in Canada.

Second Application: 13th June
Biometrics: 22nd June
Medical mail: 22nd October
Medicals done: 5th Nov (IOM Abuja)
Uploaded: 7th Nov
Approval/PPR: 8th Nov

Submitted Docs:
SOP
School admission letter (Carleton University, MEng Mechanical Engineering)
Financial Documents: Bank Statement (First Application had just a balance of 1 million, this second application had a balance of 11 million).
Treasury Bills, Shares, Properties were also submitted.
Graduated 2017. Just completed NYSC last month
During this second application, I ordered gcms for my first app, saw the reason stated by the VO (go through my timeline to see this), but I had already submitted my application so there was nothing I could do. I wanted to resume this Fall.
Towards the middle of August I sent out a lot of CSE containing my school fees receipt and also seeking for an expeditious review of my app. I didn’t get any responses immediately apart from the regular generic responses which came after like a week. I ordered gcms again and it came after 20 days. I found out my app was stuck because of an error in collecting data from New Zealand. Shortly after this I started receiving mails that my tuition receipt has been received.
My review of eligibility didn’t change throughout.
I sent a new admission letter from fall to Winter. Reception was confirmed. I stopped worrying. I looked at goingforward and admired her for being pious. I remembered my God.
I started doing early morning special prayers concerning this visa. This was in October. I partook of a 3 days dry fast in my church. 2 weeks later I received my medical mail. IOM was fully booked but God’s favour located me once more. I did the medicals and got my PPR yesterday.
What I did differently in this second application was I involved God.
Prayers do work and never ever relent. God will deliver unto those expectant of their visas in Jesus name.
I want to also thank Jeremy and Frank for taking their time out to reply my questions and advise me. God bless you both. See you all in Maple � Land.

Ps. If you’re interested in the prayer points I used to pray send me a pm and I’ll send them to you. God bless

042viber12:

Lotusboi:

Diijah:
Mine is a little over 22 weeks but I was asked to submit my passport and I did that on September 21/22. I can’t remember. But it was on a Friday. Online application btw. Cause I had been going to VFS for over two weeks and their server was down. They’ll give me a new appointment date, and that’s when rain will disturb their server again so I did it online

blaugrana82:
My application is 19weeks and 3days. Eligibility review started 9weeks ago. They made a request for my new letter of offer 2weeks ago which I submitted immediately. Since then I've been sending urgent emails and no response from them. This is really bad. I didn't meet up for fall cos of their delay and had to defer to winter, yet nothing from them. They're just unreasonably wicked. God will judge this people and it shall end in praises for me and those expecting TRV. Amen

Austacus:
Bro, there's nothing to argue about cause we don't know how IRCC do their thing or how they programmed their algorithm (via online route)

if the application is taking to a different processing center (consulate) then it will be a handle to a different VO but if Nah the same center, its very very possible they give it to the same VO that handled it initially.

Anyway, I must confess, CIC are mad
They kept me waiting, I miss fall term, I deferred to winter, now see winter see my life... This people are very annoying oooo
Omo there's no harm in refusing my visa ooooo instead of keeping me waiting like forever.
If Nah true say some VO spy dey here, you people are mad.

Hello @SleekySoft. Which course did you apply for? Can I send you a direct message regarding this topic? Anticipating your reply.

ApostleNduBiz:
If you can't cough out millions to foot his bill,just forget about inviting him.So many Pastors who wanted to use his participation in their crusades to announce their churches and boost membership can even take loans just to make 'Prophet' ThankGod Abam attend their crusades.

I have attended some of his programs and i keep doubting his authenticity.Because a true man of God is supposed to use his divine gifts to glorify God and win souls.Rather,you will see him calling himself 'The Commanding Commander' ,boasting and taking all the glory for his so called 'prophecies'.Instead of having mercy and compassion on his attendees who must have gone through a lot to come for crusades so as to seek divine intervention in their matters,he will extort them further by 'commanding' them to empty their accounts,donate their cars,houses,etc.

There are so many of these 'Prophets' who don't preach salvation these days.I hear they go to Aba,Abia State or Ghana to acquire powers to be able to call GSM numbers,bank account balances and to perfectly describe people's conditions.They behave like herbalists who do cash and carry miracle/magic.That is why their churches never experience growth because no serious christian who desires spiritual growth will be a full member of such churches.These 'Prophets' churches only survive on organizing crusades frequently where they display 'arranged miracles' and display of magic.I also hear they sleep with women to renew their occultic powers and part of the prices they pay for the powers they acquire is that they never have a befitting permanent site despite all the heavy extortions from members.They keep moving their churches from one location to the other like herdsmen move their cattle from one place to the other seeking greener pasture.

There was this 'Prophet' in Abuja who gave a prophecy of winning a multi-million naira contract to a crusade attendee.He even went further and gave a deadline that if the prophecy does not come to pass by so so date that he will drop his bible and disown God and that people should know that he's fake but that for the prophecy to come to pass the man must drop his car.The businessman complied but didn't see manifestations several months after.He went to the Police to recover his car from the 'Prophet'.Concerning 'Prophet' ThankGod Abam,not so many people may like the idea of using the Police to seek justice and may resort to violence to square the records.

I have been a victim,pursuing 'prophets' and 'prophecies' and loosing money until i came to my senses.I have achieved a lot (spiritually and physically) by reading the bible daily,making my daily scriptural declarations,praying and fasting on my own and the results are evident for all to see making me less dependent on Pastors for spiritual help.I encourage all to do the same cause Jesus Christ has given us direct access to God.God,as a caring and loving father, loves to hear from us his children directly rather than through mediums.

Together,we can send these 'fake prophets' bringing shame to the name of Christ out of business.

Good morning house. Please has anyone here gotten Memorial University admission without writing Gmat or GRE? If you have, what course did you apply for? Thanks

thompson1510:
I never had the chance to thank you. I have already filled all the form and unfortunately, I didn't chose common law because I realized I would have to fill another form for it.
Some people said I can just goto the Vfs office without prior appointment, how true it is, I don't know...

I am going from ibadan tomorrow morning. Thanks once again

Famzyactivity:
I applied 24th of July and I have already mailed cic. they gave me the generic answer

Lagos2canna:
Let's hope that by next week cic will remember M.J.J.A applicant's

Lagos2canna:
The gcms note was after rejection or after long waiting?

Austacus:
There's an atom of truth in this information.
I believe you to some extent.

But don't you think that process would have been taken care of in the background checks?

Lagos2canna:
so what about September applicants that get approvals within one month from the same online route?
so almost all July and August applicants where sent to BCI for more than 3months?

I don't agree with you on this.

Lagos2canna:
do you have any concrete information?

Rodeoz:
I pray it favors us all.

Since July 12

OFFICIALAEL:
Good day all.

First I want to thank everyone that has been contributing to this forum. You all are well appreciated.

I just got my medical call up, after applying a second time for a student visa. I believe we will all get to the finish line with reasons to celebrate.

In my previous application, I ensured I ticked all the boxes required. I had one yr tuition paid, had the required amount in my dom acc, provided my sponsors supporting docs, bank statement etc. Wrote a good enough SOP and also provided land doc gifted to me as “home tie” but unfortunately I was denied based on home ties, travel history and purpose of visit. I didn’t request for my GCMS note, because I didn’t have the time.

In my follow up application the docs I changed were both my bank statement and that of my sponsor to reflect current balance and a new SOP.

In my SOP I highlighted the reasons why I was denied in my previous application and I addressed each accordingly. I think it’s very important to point out valid reasons why you are going for your program and what you intend to do afterwards. Also point out why it took this long to take a decision to study overseas, how you’ve been of assistance to your family here no matter how little and how you look forward to coming back home to do more for both your family and society.

I should also mention that I wrote to CIC during my wait period for update. You won’t blame me, it was over 3months that I had applied.

Lastly, I trusted God to have his way no matter the outcome.

I have booked my Medicals. Next will be looking up tickets ( the prices are scary, MUST I BOOK ROUND TRIP ? )

Best regards
