TRV UPDATE for the week ending May 19th

This week was relatively quiet one - though processing time remained at 9 weeks.

I would encourage those viewing the thread but have not submitted their timeline to please do, as it would help us make logical guesstimates on CIC processing time. Complete information is still needed from Dolapok, Seatea, Oni2019, Promise147, docsaj, Cutieflaky, Teejay30628, Klem28, Boe19, Ancy 26, Omarzx, Hiambenson, Wealthmiq, Teslimot01, Pelumi12, Harveygordon, Alexkrueger, Emeritus00, Chinonye94, Atamanekpen and Okoriekwe).

Finally, if you guys have any ideas on how we can present this information better or what else we can add to it or remove from it, I am always open any adjustment that'll make this better.

You're doing a very good job. it's just perfect

Hey Bracha are you also a female??

dejilale:

You're welcome

dejilale:
I don't even know how to quote people's comments. I be JJC abeg teach me

just press quote under the comment and write your reply without deleting anything in the box

Bracha:
Hi everyone, just a few points of correction, This is a thread not a trend. A thread is something that can be strung together, especially in computing. While a trend has to do with popularity.


Also, we're or we'll be studying towards a Master's degree (MSc.) or an Undergraduate degree (BSc.) or a Postgraduate Diploma degree (PGD) or a Postgraduate Certificate degree (PGC) - as the case may be - in whatever course. For example, I'm studying towards a Postgraduate Certificate in Zoology, NOT studying Postgraduate Certificate in Zoology.

The degree is your reward after studying that course you've been admitted for.


Please let's get these distinctions right as they'll come in handy when writing our SOP and or LOE.

Thank you.

What about studying for ?

Magnifico2000:
Hello my people, good evening. How has been your day.

Please I need an advice from you.

I am 28 years of age and already have my BSC and masters. All efforts to get a good paying job have been fruitless. So I'm thinking of migrating to Canada or any other good foreign country (USA I heard is kinda dificult)
My question is this. Can I apply to universities in Canada for a Postgraduate course or possibly another masters.

Or should I apply through canadaian Express entry. I can get a good statement of account but what are my chances of getting a visa.

I would be grateful if I'm giving a candid advice, I shall forever be grateful.

Cc: makano Qudkom justmellow naijaforeigner

You already have a masters. To study in Canada now, a VO will be looking for a PhD from you.
Since your aim is to migrate, I suggest you go for express entry and your masters degree is an advantage there.

Anyone seen this yet?

Good day, all.
Can you send your GRE scores to schools before you actually apply to them? If yes, how long will they keep the scores for?

He is shouting at you. I got pissed off from his first reply to you.
Sorry dear it is social media.

Good morning guys,

Please how do you treat the issue of personal financial statement and assets
My mum is sponsoring me and she has some landed properties too,but I don't have much cash in my bank account or a land to my name..

What can I do in this case

You don't need to have one. That's why she's your sponsor

Kazeemakeem:
Hello good day house can í get job directly from Nigeria to work at canada í am an HNd holder but dont even no how to start getting job there

Try the express entry thread

042viber12:
Pls who has that Kenyan guy in charge of immigration canada email....i am ready to express my disappointment...30weeks waiting for God knows wat!!!!!

You have been really helpful on this thread, I'm hoping for the best for you. You deserve it

DMerciful:
Congratulations on your admission. It's possible to get your visa before the said date(mine was 6weeks 4days and someone was about a month here recently) just ensure you documents are clear and unambiguous. Are you sponsoring yourself? Either case ensure the bulk of the funds is in your account.

Do you mean your main account here or something like a created foreign account?

lekanlaniyan:

makano:
Lol.. I have been observing the Vibrant guy, the guy is so confident saying rubbish.. I have noticed him since the day he spat out rubbish saying that no one without Visa has the right to give advise on this thread to newbies... Make una just ignore am.. He is so clueless.. Nice Job you doing here Naijaforeigner, even tho u have gotten ur Visa u still come up here to render help, unlike peeps in ur shoe that never return here.. Good Job.

He isn't 'so clueless' because you disagreed with him on some issues. The guy has actually helped so many people here. Everyone is wrong sometimes

042viber12:
Sorry for saying this but this thread is looking more like people seeking and looking for how to gain admission. I thought this was a student visa thread...I need approval alerts or medicals mail has dropped...

Me, I have not even applied for admission as I am still waiting for my transcript to be ready.

May God help us all.

Adebayo2296:
what is happening 22 weeks processing time while Ghana is just 8 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What has Naija done wrong? Wow!

Do you have a strong 2:2 or a Postgraduate Diploma in Nigeria like PGDE and wants to do Master in Canada? I can guide you free of charge.
May our dreams come true! your dreams are valid!!!!

It's population. Nigeria has more population which leads to more applications. Ghana population is just 28 million

JennyKadry2:
Yea, I thought as much. Thanks. She submitted her passport and has been told it's ready for collection



No. I live in Australia. She has cousins(of same/similar age) in Canada and that's why she chose Canada. "Me", I am too old to be her friend

Where in Australia do you live? Australia is a very beautiful country

Emmyirab:
Sure!
The preparation is even more stressful than the whole visa application thingy, haha.
Thanks man.

God please I want this type of "stress"
Lol

maygreaves:
A number of people get admotted with a 2:2.....it is very hard however, as canada sees more students coming in, it does become more competitive. apply for a PGD as a bck up while you chase the masters.

God's Grace

Thank you

Is there anyone here that got admitted to a university for masters with 2.2 ?

blessedness:
Good morning to this great house! This will be my first post in this year. My visa has been denied for the second time. I have ordered for my gcms note. I applied August 3rd and the denial letter dropped 11th January, its just a pity sha. I will update my time line later, let me gather enough muscles first. I want to thank you all for your contribution, whether you know it or not, I gained a lot from this forum. Most importantly, I thank the Almighty God for everything, for He alone knows best, I will keep giving Him all the glory that He deserves! To all the trv hopefuls, just keep trusting God, you will surely testify IJN!

You will surely testify too. Just wait for your gcms note and tackle it from there

Naijaforeigner:
It is the institution you will look up if it offers PGWP eligible programs.

You can check the CIC link below. Input the province or territory and check if the university or college offers such.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/prepare/designated-learning-institutions-list.html

Fanshawe is a fantastic school, very massive and they have amazing facilities. If you have the money, great place to be.

Thanks a lot

Naijaforeigner:
Check out Conestoga college. I met a girl in school today who spent 1 year at Conestoga before moving over to Fanshawe. Her current fees at Fanshawe is about 2,500 dollars more than what she paid at Conestoga.

Also check New Brunswick community college you could end up saving about 3000 dollars.

Check colleges in Manitoba,( please make sure they offer PGWP eligible programs) you could end up saving up to 4,000 dollars if you dont mind staying in the cold.

All the best.

How do you know if a program is PGWP? I have been thinking of Fanshawe

Mrmoshood:
Approval Alert!!!!

I applied for study permit online route and submitted on 16th October.

I submitted my biometrics on 22nd October
I received medical request on 5th December
Medical was done on 10th December and medical updated to passed on 17th December 2018.

Since then no update. I sent mail to both London and Lagos. London replied asking me to use the Webform so the office handling my file will see my enquiry. I used the webform to send a reminder. I received a mail from IRCC that my file is in Nairobi and I should mail them as well.

To cut the story short. I sent a gentle reminder to Nairobi twice buh no response. Which was on 26th & 27th December 2018. On 4th January 2019, I received Biometric validity correspondence and today 5th January PPR dropped and my application was also approved!

Sent you a pm, kindly check.
