Hello Guys, I hope everyone is having a good day, so I completed and paid for my Canadian student visa application online and they didn’t request I upload my medical or police report, who knows if they will eventually ask so I can start getting the documents sorted or they will not request for the medical and police report atall..

Please answer anyone. �� thanks

A few of my success stories and testimonies:

I first applied for a study visa to Canada in April 2018 and was refused June same year with Purpose of Visit.
Second Application was in Feb 2019 and was refused the same month with Purpose of visit and travel history.

In both cases, I used the services of an agent and I applied with the M.eng (One year course based) admission letter
Shortly before my second application, I contacted Frankrobbn to assist proofread my SOP. Despite his kind assistance then with every effort put in place, I was still delayed. Then after my second refusal, I contacted Bracha who encouraged me not to give up and assisted with part of my SOP correction.

Sometimes in Jan this year, I had thought of switching from the Meng to Msc but getting supervisor was the issue. After a series of emails with usual "no funding, no space" responses, God finally came through for me and that marks the turning point in my Canada journey. I got a Prof willing to supervise me and provided the Stipend that fully covers my study around April and then I decided to reapply for the 3rd time in May 2019.

This time around,Qudkom came to my rescue. We talk extensively, exchange emails and I had to even travel to a neighboring city to meet this wonderful and kind guy that I didn't know from anywhere just to ensure I get it right this time. Anyway, no more agent as I am prepared to take all the advice of the gurus to do it by myself.

Few days to my submission date, I had to literally go through all of Franks past post to ensure all my T's have been crossed and I's dotted.

My special appreciation thus goes to Frankrobbn, Bracha and Qudkom who positively influenced my application in a way or the other
Every other guru: Makano, Justmellow and so many Monikers I may not mention. God bless your selfless efforts on this thread.

I need to also mention that I am advanced in age and I have never traveled outside Nigeria before and I also graduated university in 2006 with about 11 years working experience. Married with 2 kids but I decided to apply alone first.
This is to encourage someone not to really give up.

Nevertheless all human efforts, IT IS NOT OF HIM THAT WILLS, NOR OF HIM WHO RUNS, BUT OF GOD WHO SHOWS MERCY....

Naijaforeigner:
He needs biometrics. He can submit his passport in any country in the world provided the VFS In that country offer such services. He can submit in UK, USA, Nigeria and other countries.
The only thing he will not do is Medicals.

Shadypoza01:
Good day house, Gurus I'll need ur guidance on this.
I got my medical request mail 2weeks ago, and last week Wednesday i conducted my medical request in IOM Abuja, on Saturday my CIC acct was updated to 'Medical Passed'. Hopefully am anticipating a passport request, so do i just chill and wait or i should send a mail (via cic) to remind them that am awaiting a passport submission request?

waynee2baba:
Has anyone here ever applied for study permit from a third country? I'm Nigerian obviously, I school in the UK and would be graduating soon. I got admitted to SAIT Calgary & would be applying for study permit from the UK. Anyone done this before?

Higherground1:
This inquiry is for my brother, he has renewed his passport. Hopefully, he will get the new passport in two weeks. My question is this; can he send the passport with the expiry date October 2019 to the embassy and when traveling to Canada, he will show them the new passport and the other passport (expiring date October 2019) or he wait till he get the renewed passport before sending it to the embassy/VAC.

APPROVAL ALERT GUYS!!!

I was in the bathroom taking my bath and at the same time playing music with my phone, my music got interrupted and it was an email that entered. Still sponging my body I walked close to my phone to see and it was CIC “donotreply”, you have a new message(s) in your account, I didn’t even know when my sponge fell off my hands. I just picked my phone and ran out of the bathroom like that with my soapy body, my mother saw me on the way and was surprised!.. I told her mum the hour is here Canada just replied and I don’t know if it’s a refusal or approval- she shouted and joined me as I run to my room-. As I was logging into my account my hands were uncontrollably and terribly shaking, My mum kept shouting for grace as my account was loading, lo and behold it’s an approval guys.. we laughed and hugged ourselves . Now, Let me go back and complete my shower will be back for the full testimony.

IJE CANADA ADIRO NFE (Canada Journey is not easy!!!)

mcobex:
From what I see here you are fully covered (with regards to fund), you have to try to fix other parts of your app. But first, have you ordered your gcms note just to be sure why you were delayed? If you have that already, then share it and your profile here so I can try to say what I know about it. Good luck

ALT2:
Bro you don't seem to get me, what I have written is 20,000CAD not 2000 . Available fund is 24,732 while my tuition and living expenses is 14,833CAD

Pkay28:
Thank you so much for this, you're greatly appreciated.

Pkay28:
Nice one SOP writer. Thank you for doing this.
Please in the SOP, is it necessary to state the study gaps there or in the LOE or the Resume? Thank you

ALT2:
Let me break it down

My tuition is 4833 CAD per year+ Living Expenses 10000CAD per year

And my sponsor is supporting me with 20000 CAD per year and MUN's financial support is 4732 CAD per year.

My SOA is just to show my persona asset in the first place.

I feel so sad
I was denied visa few days ago and this is the stated reasons

I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.

I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.

Gurus in the house how do I convince them that I will leave canada at the end of my study.
please Help a sister ooo

crusader6:
Mr/ Mrs motivational speaker.. Thank you very much but its so unfortunate that this kind of advice is not need on this trend coz you know nothing. If you are trying to show case your talent then u better publish a book. You just joined this trend this year and you are running your mouth as if your are one of the visa officer.
Have you looked into every refused individual's Sop, documentation or financial asset to know it doesn't meet standard??
Why are you making assumptions over what you have no idea about??
I would appreciate if you remain mute for some time and allow intelligent people raise suggestions that can help. Or better still if you are into Sop writing business the open a website.. This is the wrong place guy...

Frankrobbn1:
Thank you so much @SOPWriter. I have carefully noticed your recent contributions on this thread, and I must applaud you for the exceptional advices and great works you're doing here. Let's continue been helpful to others in order to achieve the purpose this thread was originated.

bennyg24:
Very informative, weldone

Frankrobbn1:
Amen! Thank you very much Ma. I really appreciate.

SOPWriter:
Firstly, I will not want to state our problems without the root cause; specifically, biasness is attributed to most living things, even other lower animals. Despite the reward obtained through this act, there are indirect harms it feeds us with. Definitely, you will be wondering how that applies to your Canadian Visa application! Oh, my friend, it does apply to everything you do….. You just have not discovered it yet and I will be glad to reveal this to you.
In the post I emboldened earlier, there are two objects (Inability to evaluate and see through the mirror) that explain where our troubles are coming from: these two works together and could be, taken to be identical, however, there exist a disparity firmly resisting their articulation, but above all, our attitude of prejudice needs to be laid aside.
To clarify, I will speak on each object:

INABILITY TO EVALUATE
Our problem, specifically attributed to this part of the world, is that we do things based on luck; we believe in doing our imaginable best while we leave the best to God, you feel should never rest (sounds funny or harsh), let us try embrace the truth sometimes. Before applying for your visa, you are expected to know all requirements and makes sure you meet it: basically, focusing on f1: you should have a current admission, financial ability (available balance and assets that assures steady income), a statement of purpose that answer all necessary questions about you and your goals, reason for country, course, and school.
To summarize, once you have this, you can proceed to your application but that still does not mean you are qualified, until you “see yourself through the mirror”.

SEEING YOURSELF THROUGH THE MIRROR
When you look at yourself through that mirror, all you see is an image that reflects your physical structure, in contrast, when the image is broken, you see yourself in different point; the broken mirror picks and reflect the body part that faces it: when applying for your visa, you need to see yourself as that beast of a VO, who is looking for every slight opportunity to deny you, with this in mind:
1) You will not contradict yourself in your IMM form.
2) You will not fill your IMM form accurately and write something slightly different in your SOP.
3) You will not change your career path and never state it in your SOP
4) You will not submit an insufficient available balance, hoping for miracle.
5) Your CV will be identical with your IMM form.
6) You will not state unnecessary things that will raise eye ball while writing your SOP.
7) Your letter of intent will specifically explains your intention.
8 Your financial breakdown will not contradict your statement.
9) You will not make funny mistake that will question your already acquired degree certificate.
10) Your will not question your purpose of visit (depict immigration).
I have taken my time to provide this with the best of my knowledge, and from my perception about people’s cases and experience, and I hope you will learn from this write up. I am not a traveling agent, but a writing services provider. Notwithstanding, I consider this necessary to enlighten my fellow Nigerians.

kcosam:
Well done @SOPWriter, and thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with the house, which is part of the reasons this platform was setup in the first place.
The house needs more of this, and again I say thank you.

Staodi:
please did you get my pm?

kcosam:
Please can you kindly guide the house extensively on how we can "Evaluate and see through the mirror" so we all learn from your wide experience and knowledge. The refusal rate is getting higher by the day. Thank you in anticipation for your guidance.

ALT2:
Exactly, it is quiet funny cos if they really know what they are doing, how many youth of less than 26years old have those things in Nigeria? Do they expect me to have estate or what?

ALT2:
I had a sponsor who provided his SOA of around 30m and pledged to support me with 20000CAD per year in addition to MUN financial support of 4732CAD per year
