I'm really hoping and praying it comes this week so we can start preparing. Time is going.

dirotula:
My wife actually completed her medicals on the 13th of July at IOM (though she had the initial test on the 8th...but was recalled to give another urine sample due to obvious women monthly issue)...we've not heard anything from CIC yet...hoping the good news will come in this week.

The Vfs tracking is still showing...application being processed in Accra.

Wow! We will all testify very soon by His grace

myb012:
Hi evryone,i have just been reading a lot of post and people complaining for two weeks now dey haven't heard from cic,oh well I Wana give my own testimony cs I knw it will come out great I did my medicals since 23rd of June nd up till dis moment no news so my people relax it will end well. Paper route. Applied since may1

Asin it's crazy. I even sent a mail to both IOM and CIC, no response. This wait is even worse than the 7-week wait.
God help us

Royalkid:
I have just been silent and praying. I did my medical on the 6th. 2weeks on I havnt gotten a response.

Hi guys,
Please if you did you medicals on the 13th of July and you applied via paper route, can you signify?
Have you gotten any mail or response from CIC so far? What does your VFS tracking say?

Lmao! I just dey laugh for my corner. It is well

chrisviral:
Apple choice

Yimu

Exactly what I thought. This one too will expect people to answer his questions. Later they'll be crying that their questions are being ignored

darefestus:
What a way to begin your NL journey.

What a first post!

Bros, this your prayer get as e be oh. Lol
Goodluck!

berexio1:
Congrats..Online is back..Hope they overtake paper though!

Lol, how many people were offered admission for that course. Mind you some courses have less than 20 capacity. Also, how many Nigerians, how many international students were offered admission for that program, how many countries process application for 8 weeks? How many people in other countries feel the need to apply for fall entry in June?

loladeoye:
Infact only 1 person has gotten TRV in my dept for fall according to the info when i called the Uni and they are not happy about that. Paying lecturers with no student is just ....

Lol you talk like everyone who applies gets denied. Or like international students are only from Nigeria. Of course it's not a charity Organization but the best they can do is provide you with all necessary documents. The amount it costs you get TRV is not their problem. If CIC says "No", please what can the school do? Nothing. So it might be their loss by -1 student from Nigeria but even if they cared, their role is limited.
Well, I guess people can start rumours but if it's a rumour then it's a pretty reasonable one.

justwise:
Schools definitely care because foreign students is their cash machine, how will they survive if they have empty classes, empty student accommodations but still have to pay lecturers who would have lectured those students? Do you think they are running charity organisation?

Of course people make up these rumours sometimes and when it turns out to be false you don't see them logging on here frequently.

I'm not sure the university cares about how much you spend on trv, they've given you admission. I'm not sure they care about how much time you waste trying to get visa, afterall in other countries, visa processing doesn't take so long.
A country that's so developed should/will have quotas for every/anything especially when it comes to immigrants. Remember as a student, you're going as a TR, meaning that makes you a resident. It makes sense that Canada may have a quota for Temporary Residents just as they have one for Permanent Residents.
Also, he didn't say everyone else will be denied, he only said it'll be way stricter which we can already see playing out. Even if they didn't have a quota before, with the way we Nigerians and even Asians are bombarding them with applications, they may have just developed one just to control the heavy influx.
We're all just speculating, and someone who has a contact there has partially verified this argument so I think that is valid until we hear something else from a higher authority. I don't think anyone would make up such info. I stand to be corrected.

justwise:
If there is a quota it will come from the schools limiting the number of foreign students to be admitted in a year and they will not issue admission when the number is reached. It makes no sense that the school will give admission to a prospective student knowing fully well that the student chances of getting a visa is almost nonexistent. Not only that...the student will waste time and money applying for TRV that he or she is unlikely to get.

Can we hear from the horse's mouth?
Their responses can either prove the theory right or wrong as the reason for their denial

standupguy:
If quota really exist of course Ontario would have the highest number of applicants.

Please if you were refused after medicals can you let us know what province you applied to?
I believe there's a quota for each province, it shouldn't be strange to anybody.

Wow, so sorry, I was looking forward to good news from you. Don't give up, who knows you just might get it if you try again

2grozz:
Ok guys...
So here it is....
I got delayed! I give thanks to God still!
Dont think i can go through this again....

What's the meaning of all this rubbish now? So sorry about that, please try to contact them.

funmi14:
Hello house,
Another issue here o.
I just collected my documents and saw refused letter.
Applied May 25. Paper route.
Medical call July 5, done July 6.
July 16... Refused letter...(Insufficient fund)
Am confused... Pls house any situation like this before?

I think the delay is an error. 7 reasons? Lool it must be an error. He/she should complain to CIC

Crich:
He said the UCI numbers are same.
Also, that there were 7reasons for the denial (personal assets, travel history, has not satisfied them that he will leave..., current employment status, etc)

Paper. Vfs tracking

darefestus:
Online abi paper?

But it keeps showing "processing" even after medicals.

darefestus:
Paper should track Vfs and Constantly check their inbox.

Online should routinely check inbox and peep into MyCIC once a while.

Lol me sef. So how else can paper route monitor it now?

2grozz:
Really?
Na that 1 I dey monitor since oh....

There are a lot of apartments close to your uni anyway. So you'll definitely find when you get there

omemma1:
Nope. Will stay in a hotel for lik a week den scout while im ther. Altho ive checked online for som places.
its usually beta to see wat u payin for. Than payin online.

Ah I've been checking since yesterday oh. Just checked again. No update still

CoCoLav:
Hey guys,

I just checked my CIC account now and saw 'review of medical results passed'. They didn't even send me a message. TheBae you need to check.

Hope you let them know that it is for 2016 intake and not 2015. + I'm not sure you need a supervisor for a PGD

Odinwa:
I know bro! But what should I do when the stupid supervisors keep rejecting me? None of then even wanna accept me. They are saying their lab is filled up. And without them I can't be admitted.
What else do you advice me to do bro?

Okay closer to downtown halifax but it's not far sha. I think Funmi14 is going to Halifax as well.
Have you found an apartment?

omemma1:
I tink so too. But will d pub holls of fri and mon slow anytin down? Lets be hopeful today. Seems all May applicants are bein delayed.

Wow, so sorry about the stress you went through . Thank God for making it happen eventually. I can't imagine being in that situation.

chubbybarbie:
Tnks atleast one person remembered me on this thread, it's bin a very difficult journey and the devil tried a lot on my case buh he failed woefully.
After I received my medical request and updated it on this thread,I then proceeded to Lagos for medical request. On my way to the clinic my passport got lost in transit. I almost ran mad.i was stranded in lag for three days going from one motor park to the other
At the end of the day,had to inform cic of my predicament and had to travel to Abuja for a replacement oooo.did my medical for 48000 instead of 28000 in Lagos cos they don't require original passport at Abuja clinic oo.
Fast forward to today I am proud to say I have my trv.God is good.
To many of us hoping to get trv pls do not relent until u achieve your dreams cos God told me he hasn't finished even wen Others told me to defer the admission cos I dnt have time again. Mind u my school resumes dis same July.see u all in canada Inshallah .

Actually it's almost 9 weeks since you submitted 20th of May. And since you submitted via paper route I think there's something wrong. You should email them.

You should never book a ticket or make hotel reservations when you do not already have your TRV or at least medical mail. I don't know what you're asking because there's really nothing you can do other than wait for medical mail or TRV if you did upfront medicals. Success

Jaydee1985:
Advice needed . My travel date I booked has passed same with hotel reservation in Ontario . What are my chances of still getting it right sense my application is still processed at the canada visa centre . Pls ur contribution will be appreciated . Less I forget it's 7weeks already sense i submited application .

There's nothing wrong with that. You're just looking for possible faults in your application. Stay positive bro.

hayqinsbFX:
thats good.....more testimonies will make me surer...
i personally need that approval mail or mistake medical oo..

maybe i sudnt have added my e medical sheet sef...lol

Out of 3 applicants, 1 got approved

hayqinsbFX:
I see
1 out of how many...
It's good there's one who got approved though...

None of the people I know who applied via paper with upfront medicals got an approval mail. They only saw that it had been dispatched and went to pick up. Only 1 got approved though

hayqinsbFX:
Are u sure aabout this....."thisbaae.....do u have any proof so far..
