From what I have been reading in Quora.com and other blogs, making friends in Germany can be hard especially in the beginning. But let's not get discouraged. Instead, let's get each others back.

On this note, if you are going to Saxony state which includes :

Leipzig
Dresden
Cottbus
Chemnitiz

Pm let's form a group and help each other settle well in Saxony. Other people going to East Germany:

Berlin
Postdam
Magdeburg
Halle

can join the group as well.

Note: All these cities are not more than one hour from each other by autobahn

swisster:
. i applied to the same program o, and my status has been showing approved. plz when did u apply?

The boss, which one you dey? Canada or Germany?

shasha25:

Just want to team up with anyone going to the city? Are you going there?

Anyone going to Leipzig?

goingforward:
So its safe to add this as a prayer point, father don't let my application be accessed by a Nairobi Visa Officer.

Amen.

goingforward.

Lol.

Most paper route are processed in Nairobi.

rolorolo:
Really? Did you see the part where the VO said has savings? Funny enough, I applied alone. He mentioned that I applied for TRV with family. That was in 2016. I have been to Canada before with my family. Besides, the brother referenced in his concerns was very wrong as my co-sponsor is my sister and I presented my birth certificate and hers to proof that we share the same parents. I feel the VO did not review the file thoroughly as what he mentioned as his concern is not a reflection of my application. The person was quick to conclude and with even wrong information which is not reflective of my profile.

You are right. Those Nairobi VOs are doing poor job. They don't seem to look at the application well. This is not the first case

otkings:

Hello ma

From your GCSM notes, I don't think you have any problem with your finances. Seem to me that this is a problem of SOP.

You did not convince VO why you should be going for MBA at this point considering the responsibility of taking care of 3 children. Did you explain to him why you choose Canada and not Nigeria? Why you would incur so much expenses (you and 3 kids) just to get MBA? Finally, how would you apply it when you come back to Nigeria?

You need to explain these things and be as specific as possible and with facts and proofs. Finally ma, with your work experience, you may want to check Express Entry option.

My one cent though

mcobex:
Congratulations to all those CHOPPING TRVs and all those getting medical call, make una no worry(not even malaria can stop una TRV), all those expecting medical call something will show up SOOON!

Amen bro

makano:
Long post!
Hello house, My SOP is a 12 page document which I know is many. But the reason why this pages r many is cos apart from the normal procedure of writing an SOP, I farabale wrote down points to tackle my previous refusals. Please note I have been refused twice with four reasons each and this is my 3rd application, and I don't wanna be refused the thrid time that's the reason why my SOP is this many. Now to my question, 1. should I leave the SOP like that cos I don't think I wanna remove or delete any sentence from my SOP. Or I should just split it into 2 parts. I.e SOP and LOE.(I know they r both similar). My plan is to write ma SOP and then write ma points to tackle my previous refusals in my LOE. Ur input will be highly appreciated..

That's kinda too long. It could get boring.

I will recommend you write how you tackled your previous refusal reasons in another document

Lemia:
Hello everybody!

Sum jus happen right now!

My Study Permit Application was just approved!!!!


Cheers!

Congratulations bro. Go and enjoy canny land. We are coming too.

reichwolf:
Actually my SOP and Dad's authorisation altogether is only 5 pages. The remaining 11 pages are scans of passport, visa stamps for other countries and payment receipt for first semester tuition.

The fact is that I want to ace this visa application. I'm so tense these days. But I rest my faith in GOD.

Hello sir.

I feel you don't know what SOP is or you are not using the right words or arranging them well. It seems like you are referring to your entire supporting documents as SOP.

SOP is just the ESSAY part. From this your last post, it seems it is only 4 pages. Others ones you are talking about (visa stamps, receipts, passports) are not SOP. Instead, they are supporting documents.

charlyduru:
Happy Sunday guyz is it advisable to include GRE results for TRV APPLICATION even if it wasnt used to get admission to the school?

P.s : the scores were low

No need to include it. Besides, you said the scores are low. Don't go and shoot yourself in the leg sir

Martswoll:

emeify:
Please is there any way to get an expedited appointment date for application submission?
Or anyone who has an earlier appointment but not ready for submission and can give out
their space or exchange appointment dates?

Hello. Why not go and submit at Abuja VFS and save yourself the troubles?

Phocusjosh:
Lol.....Applied March 12, Biometrics March 16, Eligibility review started April 30, Medical Request May 1, Medical done May 3, Medical passed May 6. Since then, it has been on background processing and eligibility review since then. .
12 weeks counting, should I send case specific email for update or still hold on for CIC.

You are almost there... Still exercise small patience. Your school resumes September, give them two weeks more. You can afford to wait small

My one cent though

Gewezzy1:
Please must my sponsor be a family member? Someone that doesn't bear the same Surname with me

Family members are considered more genuine sponsor. However, your sponsor can be anyone. Just make sure you explain why the third party choose to sponsor you and his overall interest in your education.

A third party sponsor will need to show commitment by paying upfront your one year tuition and living expenses.

emeify:

Please house, is there a reason why United Kingdom or Great Britain is not included in the list of countries of Birth on the IMM1294E form?. Please its pretty urgent.

Is there no option for England and other nations that make up Great Britain?

CuteLexy:
Thank you, is that total for the complete duration of study? and i suppose that the sum of the tuition fee , room and boarding fee and others must be less than the funds available, right?

To get total fund available, you need to add your tuition for first year + plus one year living expenses and any other fund available.

You are only expected to show fund for the first year only and not for entire duration of the study in case your program is more than one year.

xzile:
Bros forget those Grammer. If you intend going for paper route then forget adding any picture. In fact let me share my experience. There was this important picture i believe would have helped my application but unfortunately i was asked to remove it of which i did. But after they cross checked my documents and handed the folder to me. On my way to biometric i put back the picture picture into the folder and after about 30 mins it was my turn for biometric. The first question the biometric guy guy asked me was what i was searching the folder for. I was surprised but i know i must have been picked by cctv so i was honest and he asked me to remove the picture.

Adding pictures is a big NO at VFS. Anyone who really wants to add pictures should go online route.

CuteLexy:
Hi guys, thanks for this thread its has been very helpful. Pls i have a question as regards to the study permit questionnaire IMM5832E. the one with 19 pages. I cant seem to fill it on the computer , am i supposed to print out everything and write manually? Pls i need clarification from those who did physical submission. and also what is the criteria i need to consider before putting a figure for "room and board fees" and "others" ? Thank you.

You only need the last two pages which you will fill with a pen.

I think room and board is your living expenses (at least $10,000 CAD) plus any other available fund.

kobyfresh:

harde116:
Hehehe, so i used to check my application online everyday to check for progress. So i got busy this last weekend, so i couldn't check it.

Today i got a message saying, "there have been no updates on your application since you last checked".

Please is this a norm or they miss me. LMAO!

It's been a little over 4weeks since i applied tho.

Lol.

They don't want you to waste your data checking for update.

Nothing to worry about though, it's normal

Qupp:
Abeg any1 knows abeg dis apart from @thesoj
He hz not replying

I believe you get payments from sites like Payoneer or PayPal. Get a reference letter from Payoneer and add your payoneer statement of account. You can download it when you log into your account, then use it as evidence to explain your freelance work.

Have a great Sunday.

Uchboggy:
Please assist with answers , I’m pleading

1. Bro, CIC doesn't request for medical insurance for visa application. You don't need it.

2. Study leave isn't a strong homepie. If your company can do without you for duration of your studies, you can as well find a better job. Sometimes, depending on the length of your study, study leave can cast a doubt on your application.

If you have another more convincing hometie, go ahead and add it

Newman1010:
Quick one

Application 20 March 2018
Biometric 23 March 2018

Glory be to God in the highest.

Going to SMU, Halifax for Master of Finance

Thank you Jesus for everything.

Congratulations bro. Go and succeed

Cherryola:
@Twallace pls can I summit my study permit application with only deed of Gift of a story building and one plot of land without no survey plan.

Yes ma. Survey makes it more authentic. If you can't get it, you can always submit just the deed of gift but if you can get survey plan, that would be awesome

Cherryola:
@Twallace

Which one is most important among them all cost I only want to do one as my home tie deed of gift, survey plan and evaluation of property

Well ma, it is like this: you need Deed Of Gift or Deed of Transfer to be a legal owner of land before you do Survey Plan.

You can't do Evaluation of Property without survey plans.

So you see, they are important. But Deed of Gift or Transfer and Survey Plan will suffice

Cherryola:
1.deed of gift
2.survey plan
3.building plan
4.deed of assignments
5.evaluation of property

Which are among above are good for home ties that a VO will recognize pls house help me

You are good with deed of gift, survey plan and evaluation of property
