Do we have anyone currently studying at OsloMet?

I need to get some information, thanks!

Easternheart:

Okay. thank you! I just sent you a mail now. I would appreciate your reply. Thanks

Hello House,

Do we have any NTNU applicant for master’s in the house? Also, anyone with information on when admission application will start should help out, I tried to apply but it was not open

Good day everyone! I’m new here.

Firstly, I would like to know if anyone has gotten an appointment date recently.

Secondly, I’m attending master’s in summer semester (April), kindly advise on the best time to apply for a visa and the possibility of getting appointment date.

Thank you!

Hello Guys!

Please has anyone been able to login to CIC to check application page, please let's know if the website is ok now. Thanks

Use your MyCIC Account to track the progress of your application. If submitted through paper route follow this STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE TO LINK YOUR PAPER APPLICATION ONLINE.

Thank you very much

Samiattt:
hello Toheeb I also did my biometrics on the 14th of October around the time you did yours, have you gotten any mail yet plus were you able to track your application

Hi Samiatt, I was unable to track with the tracking number sent to my mail. I was told it was only for those who went via the paper route

Thank you!

makano:
Yes. 90% of study permit applications both Paper and Online all go to the Nairobi office.. I think the remaining 10% go to either Lagos or Accra.. Peace

makano:
1. From when u did ur biometrics..
2. It is showing "No records found" because u applied through the online route.. You will need to check on updates from ur Online protal and not through VFS website.. The Link works for peeps that applied through the paper route.. Peace

Thanks a lot for this response boss!

Please do online applications go to Nairobi office? Or what office do they go to for processing? Thanks

Good Evening Guys,

I have two questions please:

1. For Online route, please I would like to know when the 9 weeks processing time starts to count for medical request to drop, is it after you submit your application or after you've done biometrics?

2. After I did my biometrics 3 days ago, I was sent a mail containing a link and a tracking number. Everytime I track the biometrics I did, it always pops up "No record found". Is there a reason for this or am I doing something wrong?

Gurus in the house, kindly help with trusted responses. Thanks

Good day house,

Anyone applied to Univ. Of Regina for fall 2019 here? Let's talk.

Thanks

Hi toheeb, did you just apply.
I just did.

I applied in November 2018, but you know the processes for U of R is plenty, I just did the WES stuff now, so I'm still waiting, what session did you apply to? Winter 2020?

Congratulations!

Btw, I just sent you a mail, your reply is deeply appreciated!

Hello e-family.
Writing from Regina, Saskatchewan.

MY EXPERIENCE SO FAR

Its great here, very nice people. People are nice to you for no reason.
Sane drivers too, atleast, I never fight any driver for change since when I come here.
In the school environment, once a pedestrian steps on the road to cross, all vehicles must stop. I did it the first time, body sweet me. The people here don't even look at the road anymore. Some will just be chatting and crossing. Me, as a Nigerian, I still have trust issues, so even though I know they will stop, I still look right, left, right, left, right again, up, down and back, before crossing (YOLO).

For those still coming in the spring/summer semester, one of the mistakes you shouldn't make (which I made) is believing that; "It is the spring/summer semester, it won't be cold anymore".
When I was coming here, I bought a light winter jacket, cos I was thinking the cold should be gone by now. But it was a different thing when I stepped out of the airport.... cold wan finish me... and guys here are saying its not cold, walking around with just T-shirts, girls on bumshorts. Me, I have been sleeping, eating, and doing almost everything with my winter jacket on.
So, don't believe those people you see online, saying it's warm in the spring/summer. Na SCAM, I repeat na SCAM. They have been here for a while, they're used to it, YOU ARE NOT.
And someone told me the fastest way to the clinic is by converting stuffs you want to buy from Dollar to Naira.
I went to a shop to buy a blanket. It cost $50. Immediately my brain involuntarily started to do the conversion to Naira. Then I started thinking, "Do I really need a blanket?, I can just wear 4 thick clothes and 4 jean pants to bed". Most people can't help it, I can't. But, the earlier you stop, the better.

POE EXPERIENCE in Toronto.

(after collecting my correspondence letter and passport)
Officer: Why are you here?
Me: To study for my BSc. in Computer science at the University of Regina.
Officer: What were you doing before applying for a visa to Canada?
Me: (As it is written on my SOP and application documents).
Officer: How do you intend to pay for your fees?
Me: My plan is to open a bank account once I settle, so my parents will do a wire transfer of my first semester tuition. I also have a the sum of $....... with me in cash, for my living expenses for a few months.
Officer: Where will you be staying?
Me: I came in contact with someone in Regina who found some apartments that I will be checking out once I get there, but I will be staying in a hotel for a few days, while I check the apartments (I already made a reservation for a hotel before traveling).
Officer: What other documents do you have there with you?
Me: My hotel reservation print out and my connecting flight to Regina.
Officer: (The reservation was done with my Nigerian debit card and the last four digits of my card were written there) He asked who owns the card, I said its mine, he asked for it.
After checking the name and number, he gave me my study permit and stamped me in.
That was all.

Success to all hopefuls.
