Keep it very well. Scan, send a copy to your school and the CIC when you send in your application for TRV. You can use in many places.
The code can be used many times for 1 given candidate except things have changed.

Your application is not validly / completely submitted yet until you do biometric. Run, Run, Run. Time is not your friend. You should have considered upfront medical too if it for September admission

Name sake, keep up the good work jare. I dey "gbadun" your input here so much.
Around a month ago, on this very thread, a lady revealed that she was only able to make TRV on the 5th attempt ONLY because this time around
she was truthful about a US visa denial.
When you ask people to read back, read in between the lines, do google search, the vex and it's in their own interest.
I doubt I have the patience, Time and tenacity you displayed here to prove your view. Well done.Keep it up.

Not necessarily.

Must a co sponsor be a family member. My husband's mentor would be most willing to be a co sponsor but he is not his family member. Can we use him?

2nd born, stop being lazy, make google your best friend !
A)
1. Type : www.google.com into your browse and press your enter key grin grin grin
2. Type : " SOP : travelling-canada-part " without the inverted comma and read plenty info on SOP on nairaland
3. The ones than make great sense to you, copy and paste into a note pad. Don't forget to include the url of the post. It can be handy later
4. Do this for other topic of your other concern. Let us save this thread from running 2 fast by doing basic inquiry ourselves and post naughty ones thereafter.

B) From my notepad I have this on SOP :
Study plan: Please submit a one page study plan which answers the following questions and includes any other information relevant to the processing of your application:
• Why do you wish to study in Canada in the program for which you have been accepted?
• What is your overall educational goal?
• Why are you not pursuing a similar program in your country of residence?
• What research have you done into studies in your country of residence/citizenship?
• How will this program enhance your employment opportunities in your country of residence/citizenship?
• What ties do you have to your country of residence/citizenship? Note: The visa officer may request additional documents or a personal interview.
Further more must:
1. introduction of yourself and course of study in Canada
2. briefly explain your previous education and its relevance to your intended course of study
3. briefly explain any gaps from your last education to date or relevant work experiences acquired
4. briefly explain the impact of your course on your future career and your home country(e.g NIGERIA)
5. emphasis impliedly on leaving Canada after ur studies and what you intend to do on return(reasons should correlate with study leave and employment letter, if u submitted any)
the SOP should not be more than two pages and less story telling, go straight to the point and avoid reminding the VO constantly that you are not going to abscond

C) I expected you to send a direct request to my email address that was put up in respect of Pchax SOP yesterday. Do the needful if you can not locate the link to the original post.
D)I hope you know that its an optional document ? And that NOT all applicant need it ? And that it must be well written if you need it ?
And that Plagiarism can mar your chances ?
E) Do not run down Nigeria as it may give the obvious impression that you will not return after study even when I know the truth grin grin grin
You know best your mission and vision in life, so you must write yourself and allow someone who is better than you proof read
From me2u : Best of Luck. Cheers

@Thesoj and @honey86 : You don do PLAESE. Leave them with their argument and unnecessary ranting.
Since time immemorial I have been hearing :
1) Play safe always
2)Prevention is better and cheaper than cure
3) The dog that will get lost will never listen to the Whistler of its owner ( hunter).
When people get unpalatable consequences for being careless and for ignoring wise counsel, they then return here with sympathetic stories.
Sadly, guys that argue here are the ones who also feel offended when you ask them to read back or do google search.
History repeat itself because humans learn nothing from history
Folks, I wish you all a blessed new month full of joy and excellent health(amen)
May this month be the month of celebrations for all TRV awaitees (amen)

It's true that they share immigration data. Especially between US, UK and Canada. I got to know this when I was processing my migrant visa.

Yes in theory . But NO in practice. It is NOT a typo. CIC is trying to play safe. It is an old practice long before the advent of the online route which ushered in a bit of reform to TRV processing. It takes about 2 months plus or minus. Some got it in 10 days early this year. Its longer during rush hours like now

Hmnn. What a way NOT to end a week for me. I had to double check on all your recent post to be double sure that I'm not mixing up anything.
Am speechless.
My consolation is that you are in GREAT spirit and on top of this ugly experience from CIC . .
Yes go express entry and further studies way. I guess they are not mutually exclusive but refire against January 2016 1st. Ofcourse after working on their concern. Update your school immediately , they may reserve a seat for you for that time if there will be admission then for your program.
TOFEL is NOT accepted In respect of Test of English. See below for more info:

Hello guys.
Glory to God. I was delayed yesterday based on four reasons:
Insufficient funds, travel history, personal asset, and family ties in Canada n Nigeria.
Truth be told, this CIC style of processing applications for months is the worst ever. They need to review it. Na their mate be USCIS.
So, after rejoicing with you guys and my family for 1 weeks, I received a shocker. Lol! I'm still trying to recuperate. This is a very bad feeling.
All guys expecting TRV, my candid advise, to avoid hypertension, kindly prepare for the worst.
If you have been called for medical, pls, know that that DOESN'T guarantee a TRV.
This is my story.
Chai! So, you guys will be consoling me now. Hahahahahahahahaha!

Ask that guy who does not want to accept what he can not change and move on,
ask him what he will do for refusal at the point of entry !! . Will he commit suicide ? NO.
Life Goes On ( the 3 very important words in life ). Progress is still possible in spite of all.
Remember they will not do that to someone from Saudi Arabia .
Even at Independence they did not treat Nigerians so sadly.
The fault is in Nigeria and Nigerian leadership past and present . QED.

Lets stop complaining bout refusal after medical.....
An individual's visa can be revoked at anytime if need be....let alone trv delay
Its a law....
In as much as I dont want to be labelled a "hater".....or concluded as "he is saying it because he was delayed"
We can only do much as complain.....which in my own lame view would get us no where.
Dust yourself up.....refire....and give thanks to God for his next big miracle.

No!
What you are suggesting is good in the interim / short run ONLY.
Please process the transcript now even if it takes forever. You may need it else where later where they are very strict.
Having applied for it once will make your academic record in full in on the Transcript server of LAUTECH , hence subsequent request will be faster.
In fact, you may further optionally go ahead to send it to WES (World Education Service).
There, it will be accessed and stored for you to request to any school in the world in future with 3 working days.
In this way, you are completely mobile in respect of the academic records and free for life from Nigerian system that hardly work fast.

ayooluwatoni:

@ malaoluolateju:
This was what I did when I was to apply to MUN: I graduated from LAUTECH, Ogbomoso, and getting transcript there takes like forever, so I didn't bother going to request at all. I just packed my results from 100 level to 500 level, took them to a notary public, and I got them notarized, did same for my statement of result too, so I enveloped it and sent it to the school (But please note: MUN stated in their application guide that they accept notarized results, so you need to be sure your school accepts notarized results). Best of luck!

Travel / Re: Travelling To Canada Part 8 by soji0509: 1:09pm On Jul 28, 2015
Yes, you can send the soft copy in advance and in the interim.
Processing on your application can then continue while the school awaits the hard copy from your Nija school.
I have seen people here offered CONDITIONAL admission self, with only soft copy. The admission letter changes to UNCONDITIONAL after the receipt of the hardcopy. This can quicken the process sometimes. It may NOT be the same for all schools however.
A mail to the admission officer can always clear the doubt. Cheers
malaoluolateju:

@soji are you saying that if i have an extra official transcript with me, i can send it directly to the school even if they say they want it sent directly from the issuing institution?
Travel / Re: Travelling To Canada Part 8 by soji0509: 12:25pm On Jul 27, 2015
SAD ! Very very sad.
The quark called agent should know what to do now !!
Without wasting time, he need to apply for your afresh at his own expense. You need to do upfront Medicals plus tones prayer prayers for Divine favour like the Kind of Team 12.
I doubt if any other options will NOT amount to a more waste of time.
Ensure that you get the full access to your CIC and confirm your email address before submission.
Honestly speaking, I doubt your agent submitted anything. Else you should have gotten a mail in your inbox on biometric request in addition to a copy that would be in your CIC account.
The fault however is your ONLY. or You mean you can not scan your doc ? Have NO internet to upload your docs yourself? More so with the awesome support freely available here !!
Remember, NO agent can influence the outcome of your TRV application.
No agent also like you as much as your like yourself. Would you have forgotten if u had done it yourself ??
Sorry, I only felt I should be brutally frank here. No offense is intended and forgive if I have offended you. Cheers
Princepoldi:
@hayqinbFx my agent submitted online. I just spoke to my agent and he is sorry for not informing me about my biometric dead line date which is July 10th . Please do you have any idea what I can do now having missed the July 10th deadline ?

The available fund is small but Always try your very best in any circumstance. Its NOT a crime to do so.
Thereafter support your effort with prayers. HE can perfect you applications in the eye of the V.O.
The only thing at stake is your application fee . So try your luck. In the past with something lower, guys got TRV.
The window for the search for a sponsor should not be closed until the very moment you submit. HE is able.

Now is the right time to start very seriously. These things have hidden delays which are beyond your control.
Go get your transcript from your school 1st, then you will understand what I mean.
Make sure you pay for a personal copy with which you can process admission into any school after the 1st application in the interim. As from today come here regularly and read back. Things are getting more difficult with passing days, the earlier the better for you to apply to schools(more than 1 school so u can choose the best option later)
No amount is too much from your sponsors. So try your very best. You may even consider 2 co-sponsors in addition to your Dad or main sponsor.
So set-forth at dawn for the required sponsorship documents with which to package your application. Best wishes
Godymn:

Just trying to plan ahead and arrange myself. Plan on applying next year for Fall 2016 by God's grace.
If i eventually get one, like how much should the co-sponsor state that would make sense with what my dad has?

Madam, anything liquid is not allowed oooo. Even if u dont check it in and you put it in your back pack, the scanner will detect it, and since its alcohol, u wont be allowed to drink it before boarding. They will just seize d thing.

I guess something went wrong. You need to worry . For online route Biometric request form is generated instantaneously. Check your spam box if you have not been deleting it. Your application has not been fully submitted until you do biometric.
You need to mount great pressured on your agent. He couldn't have submitted paper route without your knowledge and without your biometric.
May be agent must have used a wrong email. Check your CIC account a copy should be there. If demand proof of submission from your agent and fire CIC a mail if you are convinced.
You have delayed too long before asking for help. No time on your side. Keep the house updated. I hope you are not mixing biometric for medicals

There is no certainty until you get the TRV at hand. Read back the last few days (less than 1 week ago) strange things have happened and make your conclusion.
It is however about or more than 99 % sure if you have passed medicals. Things are getting a bit delayed and difficult these days.

Refusal after medicals for insufficient funds? This is unheard of and so not funny. Kindly contact CIC and lets hear what they have to say.

I think there was a similar situation in 2013 to Gbesunb after submitting his medical and paying his fees. I think some VOs are just hyper active and careless in their decision making.
