Please how did you cancel your Canadian visa application nd hw did you also apply for the refund. Seriously these people are getting on my last nerve. I cant stomach the fact that i would wait for 15 whole weeks again for this people to reply me when am not certain about there response. Abeg life is too short, i neva born pikin neither am i married, so becos i want to pursue a proffesional degree abroad thats why these people are toying with my youth. Am not getting any younger, its high time i gas to step up my game. Haba its very painful. When we apply for visa, they shud tell us yes or no let us continue with our life nd not wait for all eternity when a male bull will begin to lactate. U.s is better after your app you book your appointment nd know your faith that very minute, but canny lawd hv mercy.
I can see vfs is asking for another stomping by naija applicants this year nd this time Am telling you.

Please how did u cancel ur app? And also was your refund for school fees or visa application fee?

You should be able to request a tuition refund anytime before resumption date. I contacted the school that my visa application has not been processed and that I don't want to defer. They told me I can get a full refund with no admin charge since my visa application has not been processed but that I should provide them with a screenshot of my online application page.

I took a screenshot of the page showing the status of the visa application as "Open". They sent me a wire transfer form, I filled it and they said it will take 4 to 6 weeks to process my full refund.

Details on how to get visa processing fee refund from CIC: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=619&top=4

I contact CIC through this page: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp and I selected "Type of application/enquiry" as "Withdrawal of online application" and In "Your enquiry" I stated that I have decided to withdraw my application and that I want a refund of processing fee. They replied back saying they have added a note to my application but that the refund is at the discretion of the visa officer. Based on what I read online, if your application has not been processed, you are entitled to a refund.

Please note: Your mileage may vary and I'm not encouraging anyone to lose hope, hope isn't lost.

You should:

- Let CIC know what they are doing wrong through this page: https://secure.cic.gc.ca/feedback-retroaction/feedback-retroaction-eng.aspx

- Send a case enquiry by requesting them to urgently look into processing your application, that school is about to resume through this page: https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/confirmation-eng.aspx

- Wait for CIC to respond.

- If you noticed that you will not be able to meet resumption date, you can defer your admission to January.

My advise for anyone applying to study in Canada is to be aware that it can take months to process your application and if you are not comfortable with waiting that long, you should also have a "Plan B" in another country. Probably in U.S, Australia or U.K so as not to waste time and leave your future hanging.

Never give up, good news will come your way.

Wishing everyone all the best.

The day I applied for the visa, the processing time was 10 weeks, it's now 15 weeks, probably they think it's easy to move to another country within 1 week and settle down. I literally paused my life for months but I canceled my Canadian visa application and requested a refund a week ago. I got my U.S. visa approved on Monday.

I'm divergent in nature and I also have to protect my dignity. I will not pay processing fee just to be subjected to this biased and inhumane treatment. I have many things to say but one of the many things I find appalling is that they provide status update to many other countries within days or few weeks but keep us waiting forever as if we don't have any reasonable thing to do with our lives, yet we keep paying for this gullible treatment.

If you think all they are just doing is scrutinize application, you are wrong. Their main objective is to apply what is called Social Engineering, they are applying social and human control into the approval or denial process, that's why you will see some applicant who waited 20 weeks get denied with silly reasons like "Purpose of visit".

They need to treat all applicant with respect and dignity. I support those that have also contacted the Canadian immigration minister, I have also bitterly and constructively gave them a piece of my mind. Let's all speak up when we see injustice, by doing that, we are helping future applicants.

Good luck everyone.

Please what is "woss woss wobi"?

"Woss Wobi" is the title of a song by Olamide featuring CDQ. The song has explicit content/lyrics.

Anyone saying it's how you great in the north is not reading the caption. Read the caption again and may be you will have a clear understanding of the message the tweet is trying to pass across.

I'll help. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to read the body language, godfatherism is at play right there.

Anyone saying OP is lying is not well informed. I have heard of this happening in many churches including some foreign countries.

There was an incident about a church in the U.S. that failed to bury an old member because she didn't pay up her tithe before she died. The church was demanding that the children of the deceased pay the owed tithe before the church can attend the burial.

Fanaticism, tribalism, ethnicism, nepotism, lust for power and money are things that may eventually destroy humanity.

I can see online that 1 CAD equals 215 Naira...I hope the CAD goes back to 150/145 at least I don't know how possible...This is really serious... The politicians mess up the country and its d average and poor masses that still suffer for it. All them greedy politicians with billions looted and stuffed in a place won't feel the impact of this currency hike nah still we the masses.

God help your children, I wonder how people will cope... When CAD was 145/150 parents and sponsors tried there best possible to see there wards have the best and now this this hike.

The country just keeps making things so difficult for the average and poor...The other time I saw 1 CAD equals 5 India rupees, 1 CAD equals 11S.A Rand. Why is this Country the way it is...That's why most young people just wants to get OUT of this oppressive nation.

From 145 to over 215. It's sad.

Ridiculous, unimpressive. Was expecting to see a properly structured pattern. I can as well carve out another part of the right rectangle and say it's also the phone.

This is a classical example of "If you are looking for something, you will find it even if it's not there".

The only reasonable pattern is the word "MOBILE PHONE" written on the table.

Sorry about that. You said 14k @ N145 or do you mean 14k @ N225? I'm curious.

How much do these miltary officers take as salary, is there a publicly published figure?

Why don't you request a refund from the university?

Generally, Marketers are paid to generate liabilities and create assets (loans). However, there are instances where banks sort of go the extra mile to introduce some kinda promo which comes with additional incentives to staff thereby increasing competition amongst staff which ultimately boosts the banks base as a whole.

So these promos help to shore up their liabilities for whatever the focus of the bank is and staff are given extra pay based on their performance. Most times...Operations staff get this treatment to encourage them to go out of their routine job function to help.

This is also different from the Profit Sharing Bonus which is paid in the next calendar year after the financial and dividends have been approved by the shareholders.

Nice post @ VictorAB. You more than nailed it. I think your post should just rest the matter.

Thank you. So if they give them a target of 10m/month and a customer they referred last year deposit 10m, they have automatically met that months' target or they need to look for a different customer entirely?

dearie:


I must say this is closest response so far.

Banks' pay different salaries across different grades and what he means by profit of 30M to 50M a year for GMs is actually Profit Sharing Bonus which is not part of guaranteed pay. It is also a function of your grade, department, appraisal score and the bank's profit for the year.

The link below is a result of survey conducted in 2014. Please note that the position has changed tremendously from these;

http://www.naijabankers.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=242

Is it true that when you deposit for example let's say 100,000 dollars, the staff/marketer that referred you gets a bonus and even more bonus every time you receive deposit into your account since he/she referred you?

Abeg someone should give me an answer, what do I put as current occupation, I was done with service last month.

You can put unemployed as current occupation and in the previous occupation you can mention NYSC with the correct date.

emma4eva:
I have being asking asking questions, nobody seems to have my time... Final question abeg, which bank do I use to pay for the application, my own diamondbank card isn't working.

Why is it not working? You can try GTB card.

Good evening everyone. Please I need direction on how to get to Lekki Phase 1 from Abeokuta in Ogun State.

Make a photocopy of the results. Take the original and photocopies to a lawyer who is a notary public, or you go to a court registry. Present the original and the photocopy. The Notary will notaries the photocopies as "certified true copy of the original". Mail (by post) the notarized copies to the school.

Thank you for the clarification. Just curious, can a scanned & printed copy be used in place of a photocopy?

I'm applying for a course in Canada and the original certified copies of my Neco and ND result are requested.

I'm new to this. Please how do I go about getting them certified and what do they mean by "original certified copies"?

If Police stops you. Put your hands on the steering, respect them and 99.9% of the time...no wahala!

I sent you an email. Please reply.

I need advise. I want to apply for a Canadian visa as I need to apply for a 2 month training. I have the following question:

1. Is a visit visa what I should apply for or a study visa?

2. On the visit visa application page it say are you going on business, tourism, interview for skilled worker program, other. Should I select "tourism" or "other"?

3. It also asked about job and business. I do work for my own business but my business isn't registered because it's a sole propietorship business. Should I just check Yes for "Do you have a job" and No for the "Do you have a business" question?

Please share you experience.

Thank you in advance for your advise.
