Maybe she wanted to know the city its located in
abubakarsubuana:
Thanks.

I thought with what have posted @mzjokky16 should be aware that University of Saskatchewan is located in Saskatchewan and that Saskatchewan is a province in Canada.

Thanks once again.

DeejayOG:
Hi Guys

Can we have people were approved that submitted online tell us how long it took for their passports to be returned after submission so we know the average time

How much is the KLM
lynniebabes:
Yes you will be needing a transit visa. If not they won’t let you board at the airport. Use KLM let’s travel together na
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by SmallerB: 12:22am On Aug 29, 2019
Please if travelling with Lufthansa with layover in Frankfurt and Munich would a transit visa be needed?. The flight is Lagos-frankfurt-munich-canada with Lufthansa air
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by SmallerB: 11:58pm On Aug 28, 2019
3-15 working days. Could come really early or late. Just prag it comes in time
Vesment:
Please which is the fastest way of sending and receiving passport, submitting direct or sending through dhl and paying for return? Am in ph and I can't go to Lagos that way
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by SmallerB: 12:51pm On Aug 25, 2019
I have. The mail is in response to the webform i sent to lagos
JustMellow:
Did you also mail Lagos? If no, do. Lagos is sometimes faster in this kind of scenario
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by SmallerB: 10:46pm On Aug 23, 2019
Thank you, i think they were referring to the supposed letter that is on my page
raymege:
Well, what do I even know? I may be wrong.

My comment is based on what they wrote on the letter, saying she should print the letter.

Rules aren't carved on stones.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by SmallerB: 10:42pm On Aug 23, 2019
Thanks i was already preparing to convert it to pdf and send through webform.
Bracha:
Hello,

That letter cannot suffice. SmallerB you have to pester them for the letter of introduction. If by Monday it still hasn't reflected in your MyCic account, send them a screenshot of what it looks like, so they have proof.

Pester them please, that letter is very important.

Cheers.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by SmallerB: 10:00pm On Aug 23, 2019
Hi guys, please this was the response i got after mailing kenya and lagos about my letter of introduction that they have refused to send. They sent this today, evening time sha and i checked my page and its not there

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by SmallerB: 11:02am On Aug 20, 2019
Thanks alot would send it ASAP
Frankrobbn1:
Congratulations on your approval. This isn't something you should worry about.

For those that are currently facing this or in future will encounter this simply send a CSE to Kenya, Nairobi Immigration office and you will receive the introduction letter updated on your MyCIC Account within 24 hours.

I HAVE BEEN APPROVED OF MY VISA, BUT I AM YET TO RECEIVE AN INTRODUCTION LETTER ON MYCIC ACCOUNT

Below is a drafted sample mail by me that you can send to the Kenya Immigration office;

Hello Respected Sir/Ma,

I hope this mail meets you well. My name is XXXXXXXX , I am a successful Canadian study visa applicant. I write to inform you that my application was approved on DD/MM/YYYY and my visa has also been appended on my passport. However, I haven't received an official introduction letter from your office which I am submit to the immigration officer at the point of entry into Canada and that troubles me a lot as my course intake is drawing near, and my flight has already been booked for DD/MM/YYYY.

Kindly assist me with this issue and expedite the processing of my introduction letter. I do not want to miss classes and the orientation week as that would make it difficult for me to adjust later, putting into account the difficulty of settling down in a new country as an international student.

I am looking to getting your immediate and positive response.

High Regards,


XXXXXXXXXX

Contact info via Webform : https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/case-cas-eng.aspx?mission=Nairobi

Contact the Nairobi Immigration office via this email: nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca

The subject of the mail should bear URGENT, along side the applicant's FULL NAME, UCI NUMBER, APPLICATION NUMBER AND DATE OF BIRTH.


I hope this helps

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by SmallerB: 11:25pm On Aug 19, 2019
Please has anyone experienced this issue where applications is showing approved and passport request but no letter of introduction?
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by SmallerB: 11:22pm On Aug 19, 2019

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by SmallerB: 10:54pm On Aug 19, 2019

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by SmallerB: 11:03am On Aug 15, 2019
Did you receive your letter of introduction?
Olayemi360:
Pls help with customer care line. My application has been approved but no news as regards collection of my submitted passport.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by SmallerB: 10:21am On Aug 15, 2019
Thanks, i called the customer care for lagos and the girl told ne its at the embassy(she sounded really rude so the conversation was somehow) she now said waiting time is 15days and i need it like next week. Its been 7working days already. Although when i dropped it the person told me 10days
ca12:
It’s still at the visa office, not Lagos yet .
Same thing showing for me and visa has been approved.
You can call the customer care line to ask about your passport tho.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by SmallerB: 10:10am On Aug 15, 2019
Please can someone tell me if this means the application is at lagos office or what does it mean

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by SmallerB: 2:40pm On Aug 12, 2019
Please how long does it take to get passport back after passport submission
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by SmallerB: 11:58am On Aug 07, 2019
Lol its to sleep and wakeup inside airport lol
AgroNACT:
Same here, the direct flight i first reserved would have a layover of 24hr+ at another province before moving to my province of destination. So its almost impossible to wait that long. They should consider when one books a flight to different province so as to board another one to his destination just to safe time. I pray them!
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by SmallerB: 11:58am On Aug 07, 2019
Thanks, although i dont think i would have problem since i still have another flight stated. Would just stay at the airport till its time

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by SmallerB: 11:45am On Aug 07, 2019
Thanks its better to just stay at the airport. Better safe than sorry
JustMellow:
I see no reason why not, when you have a valid documents
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by SmallerB: 11:33am On Aug 07, 2019
Thanks, there is no direct flight there and the layover to the flight going to the province is long. I just want to ask if someone can leave the airport before the flight
holllowu:
i once saw something on this thread about a guy who was sent back to nigeria because he boarded a flight to another province while his school was in another province, i suggest you go to the province where your school is located
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by SmallerB: 10:57am On Aug 07, 2019
Hello everyone. Please, is it possible to stay in one province for a few days before flying to his destination for school?
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by SmallerB: 10:51am On Aug 06, 2019
Goodluck, you could still try to get a supervisor
cuteesthy:

LOL IT FEELS LIKE A MIRACLE LOL
Second application
submitted online June 20
Medical request July 5(funny thing is my first application was refused after 15days also)
Medicals done July 18
Medicals passed August 2( i had to call Qlife cause it was passed the 10 working days. They told me they had sent it, thats when the true worry started ehn i started questioning my health since i had a surgery in june lol. So i sent a web form on august 1st and the next day i got medicals passed)
BVl August 2nd also
Application was processed in Paris
Passport request August 5 lol

I submitted all cic forms
Admission letter: university of Saskatchewan going for PGD food science, i have an undergraduate degree in microbiology and 4.78cgpa i couldn't get a supervisor sadly. But i spoke to the program coordinator and he said if i have good grades and get a supervisor after the first semester i could switch to Msc so i am hoping(crossed fingers)i graduated uni at 19 so i mentioned how young and all i still am so a career switch blah blah lol i am surprised. I made mention of the courses i did as an undegrad that are related to food science(like food microbiology, organic chem, bio chem and industrial micro) i also mentioned that my undergraduate course was slightly deficient so i couldn't get into masters which is true in a way.
My mum is my main sponsor, statement of account of 9m and 7m TB said to be dedicated to my studies
Submitted my dad's will with funds and land property dedicated to i and my siblings. It also had court order.
Submitted my transcript and thats all. And above all i added my God to the equation lol.


My first application was refused based on ties to Canada and purpose of visit. I ordered GMCS note and it didnt mention anything about my study plan being vague or anything. VO's main point is that i wont return to Nigeria. I was really sad when the refusal came, i cried sef then ran to niaraland and read all the responses lol. My first application had all the documents i believe it was even perfect but yet it was refused. My second application i didn't even notorise sponsors letter or anything, didn't even submit birth certificate or any extra thing. Its only God that's all. I'm so thankful for everyone that posts here i have always been silent but I'm grateful to everyone here
