Hi guys, pls lets not spoil this PM thing for those that really need help and assistance fa. People should learn to be professional! When I reply a PM and all the person has to say is "Hello, my name is bla bla bla, how are you doing? I will like to know you better..." it makes me wanna puke! So when next I wanna reply a new PM I become extra careful. This is not a platform for pen pals. You ve got facebook and the likes of badoo for all that. Please let's respect and not misuse the tools available for us on this platform...#awordisenough!

@Team12, I think I understand you So which course and school? 2015 or 2016?

If they are gonna approve ur app, they will request for your result From the hospital. The first update is "Medical under review", then "Passed" then "pp request". You then get your PoE intro letter and application closed!

Gu2015:
Hi House,Pls if u did an upfront medicals and applied online.whats the first update you get when dey Hv reviewed Ur application?

Congrats dear

SeraSera:
Thanks @Team12 @kennykentipsy @Chars1289 et al. Just got the update: medical passed.

I couldn't help but give them feedback there and then. From the front desk guys, to the nurse, to the doctor...I love to commend good work!lol

Chars1289:
dont scare a broda naa..Tim12 has already given him a break down of how consultant practice work.
But for peeps awaiting medic.wen u get it use IOM.Team12's account abt dem is so true.

Yeah very friendly and warm! We immediately clicked and started gisting abt fam and kid as my daughter almost turned her office upside down

kennykentipsy:
The female doctor that did my physical examination at iom said she will send my results immediately. ➕ she's friendly

I will get back to you tomorrow hopefully. Sorry bt the delay. My week was crazzzzyyyyy.

Omonjoe:
Good day madam. I am still awaiting ur response on d SOP I emailed to u

It was because of the 5 working days thing i decided to do upfront medicals. I used them for my upfront, but didn't use them for my daughter.

SeraSera:
Hmm...Wish I had known this before I went the Consultant way. Anyhow, would give them their 5 working days. Hopefully, they'll come through by then. Thanks.

My guy! I didn't know you were going the Manitoba way o. I guess the Winnipeg guys are increasing. Yes UofM is close to UofW-Same city.

sholay2011:
I'm going to University of Manitoba hopefully.

I assume that shouldn't be too far from Uni of Winnipeg?

Hands up! Somehow your Moniker looks like a female's. Please confirm your gender.

judnele:
Hi anybody going to university of winnipeg manitoba september 2015

It takes 5 working days for Consultant practice to send your results to cic. IOM on the other hand sends in 48 hours. For those who want to do medicals for their kids below 5 years, the exam in IOM takes few minutes and it's only 15k . It's only physical exam that is done, and your kid's result is sent to cic immediately (it might even be before you step into your car ).

With what I experienced with my daughter's medicals, IOM is the way. I went all the way from the Island to Ikeja, but it was worth it. More space, more friendly and professional staff and quick turn around time!

SeraSera:
Hi guys. Please for those who've done medicals, how long did it take before your cic status became updated? I had my medicals done at Consultants Practice on Tuesday and I'm still awaiting an update on my account. Should I be worried?

@OGreene my hands are up!

Hello everyone. Am new on this forum. I have b.sc accounting with a second class upper. I have been working for almost 2 years as well as doing part time in my ACCA. Currently planning on doing my masters in canada. can some one advise on way forward and affordable schools in canada or probably schools that offer scholarships. Thanks.

First step is to register your child on the centralised wait list for the province you are headed. You will be able to select schools and add to her profile, that way she is automatically on each school's wait list, then you seat back and pray she gets a space before you resume. Each school will contact you when there is a space available for him or her.

With regards to accommodation, you can either go for Family housing on campus or get an accommodation off campus. Check kijiji or rentbaord.ca

Booskie88:
Hello house
I have actually learnt from this forum since I have been following it silently, please I got an admission for May 2016, and I have a child, please can anyone kindly assist on how to go about getting a Daycare and Accomodation.
Please it will go a long way.

You searching?

mevisbleek:
Is she married? Is she Igbo?

I agree with u 150%. Making a first class was not easy ooo. Life in school was a triangle...class to hostel to church to hostel, but it was worth it in the end. I never stayed in d labour market for one day. I started working immediately after school even before i served 1 year later. The thing is some people with first class are only excellent in academics but lacking in soft skills. In the labour market you need both certificate and soft skills to get a decent job (I mean Multinational).

You can make a 1st class all you want, but if you are not eloquent, articulate and able to think outside the box enough to wow your interviewers...sorry is your name o.

But in all never rule out the power of favour!

Crich:
Ah! Her case needs special prayers. What happened to bank jobs? Ah ah! Not a 30k job na no matter how bad. There's something wrong somewhere. I still stand on my earlier statement. First class has a place somewhere good in this country as long as it can be defended. U dont expect a first class material to be employed if he cant sell himself/defend d degree during an interview.

I am sure the school has Family Housing that you can apply for. Check the school "housing " website. Or u can also search for accommodation off campus using kijiji.com or rentboard.ca.

Since your daughter will be using the uni's child care, the family housing will be a better option, as it is usually close to the child care centre...well in my own case it shares same fence with the child care.

Has she gotten a spot at the child care, is she already on the centralised wait list? You need to be fast about it. I registered my daughter on the centralised wait list for my province in October 2014 for September 2015 and she only started getting spaces this month...

nattie5:
Hello everyone, I've learnt a lot from discussions here.

I am applying to UOIT for January 2016 session. I will be going with my toddler she'll be 2yrs by then. I hope to use the child care center within the institution for her care during my schools hours.

I am still worried about getting a decent affordable accommodation for both of us. I read of Family stay or something as an accommodation option but don't really understand what it is. Please I need elaboration.

Secondly, hubby and I applied for FSW December last year, if it goes through, will I get any child support stipend?

.

Hmmm! i pity u guys @ivylane is married o...@darefestus beware...

btw i will reply ur mail today @darefestus

hayqinsbFX:
As in ehnn!...same school things!...

Baba clarify!

That was exactly what I did!

teesboy:
I concur as well and think the best thing going forward is for an applicant to always state exactly how much they are getting from their sponsors and for a sponsor to do same in their letter of sponsorship so that the VO is under no illusion as to total funds available for the applicant's study.

I bind every "Esther" on this forum, in Jesus name...

chrisviral:

Yes. I mean if the total expense is 21,000, you should state that you have may be like 25,000 available for your stay and the amount in your sponsor's account should be more that the 25,000. You feel me? But make sure that the amount you stated as available funds ties with the amount your dad states in his sponsorship letter o (if at all he stated it; and he should state that the 25,000 is the MINIMUM amount per year).

Since you have a little brother who is obviously over dependent on your parents, the VO does not expect your parents to spend all their money on you alone...

It's good that you have submitted other documents to proof source of future cash flow. That shows that your parents can afford to cover your expenses in subsequent years. So you are covered.

Graviton2:
I don't really understand the bolded - Do you mean if the total expenses for my study is around 21,000cad, I should have higher than that for my upkeep? That's about 40,000cad...Please clarify.

Undergrad. I'm 20 and I have a younger brother who is 11, how's that?

Your moniker made me think of Basketball..Dream team 12...lol

There you got your red flag.

1. I believe your undergraduate curse is 4 years. 1.5m in your dad's account is not even enough to cover your cost of living of $10,000 (1.6million). not to talk of your tuition and other dependents he has. Since he is a civil servant, i don't expect that you will be able to get significant amount in your account within btwn now and early July. Your best bet is to get a co-sponsor. Look for any relative or family friend of yours that has enough funds that can help.

2. Stating $10,000 as the funds available for you is another issue. If you have been on this thread before applying, you wouldn't have made this mistake. But thank God you are here now.

3. The amount you should state as available funds should cover at least your one year tuition plus living expenses, plus an amount for miscellaneous. e.g: if your tuition per year is $14,000 and cost of living is $10,000, what you should state as funds available should be a minimum of $26,000 to $30,000. This case the VO is sure that you will not be stranded. They don't want pple to become a liability to them.

4. Since you are going for undergraduate, apart from the one year available funds, you need to proof to the VO that your sponsor can afford to pay your tuition and living expenses for subsequent years. This might not necessarily be in form of liquid cash, but investments and any other source of future cash flow. I believe your dad and sponsor's business can cover that. Please add CAC documents for the 2 businesses, SOA's for the 2 businesses (even if the closing balance is Nil, so long as it can show frequency in transactions and cash flow), receipts of transactions, invoices, award of past contracts, share certificates, landed properties and all.

5. Make sure that when your sponsor writes his letter, he should state that he will make available to you a MINIMUM of bla bla bla....Please use the word minimum, this leaves the door open so you are not confined to the exact amount stated as available funds.

6. Also state in clear terms in your own SOP who is responsible for what. I suggest if your co-sponsor's account is more bouyant, state that he will be responsible for all academic related expenses and accmodation, while your dad will take care of other expenses like feeding, clothing and all.

...I think this will work. When I think of something else, I will update. Don't worry, you just need to be fast about getting a co sponsor once that is sorted, it wont be a bad idea to re-apply early july for sept resumption or you might need to defer your admission till January.

Team12 waiting for ur response my parents are my sponsors. Tnx sch resumes 9th Sept. 1.5m was in sponsors acct. Am goin for UG 10000$ stated as funds avialable for me apart frm sch fees as stated in der site. We av 2 family busines bt only used 1 wit my dads salary acct since he is a civil servant but planing to reaply wit both.I added landed properties

I modified my earlier post. Pls go back, read thru and provide answers to the questions

judnele:
Team12 waiting for ur response my parents are my sponsors. Tnx

@Graviton2 Great! Please ensure that the amount you state as available for your stay is higher than your total expenses.

Is it UG or PG? Do your parents have other dependent kids?

Btw lol! Team12 definitely does not mean 12 children o ....lmao

Who is your sponsor? And when is school resumption.

Applying in July in kinda late, but you never know. The good thing is that financial reasons is the easiest to tackle.

1.How much was in your sponsor's SOA?
2. How much is your estimated expenses for a year?
3. Are you going for UG or PG?
4. What is the length of ur program?
5.How much did you state in your app as funds available for your stay?

Please answer these questions to enable us advise u accordingly.

In the mean time, if your sponsor is into business, I believe a lot more transactions has taken place since your last app, so his acct balance might be more than it was. However, if it is not significantly higher than before, putting a significant amount into the account for 3 days or 1 week and printing out for a new app will not be seen as lodgement but will look more like usual transaction.

Did u add any property docs to ur last app? Docs like share certificate, fixed deposit, pension statement, landed properties can go along way.
