Hello House

me and my wife landed in CANADA safely and sound oooo

The POE was so interesting. All you need is just to be confident and truthful, Please dont change documents at POE, always present what you submitted during VISA processing.

God bless us all.

Congrats sir. Enjoy Canny land

Hello house. Got to Canada safely. The immigration process at the point of entry isnt difficult. You just have to follow through the different process as directed. You will be asked questions by the immigration officers just answer them confidently, that's my own little advice.

At the first point of entry i gave them my immigration form that was given to me to fill in the plane. I was asked what are my basis of coming to Canada, what program, what school, how many years program. I was also asked to show a proof that am really going to study, then i showed her my admission letter and fees receipt. So its advised to have them in ur hand luggage as u might be asked. She also asked if i had and alcohol on me, if i had money or treasures on me worth up to 10000CAD(cos u have to declare it at the point of entry if you do, else u will pay a fine if they find out and u didn't declare it). How much i brought into Canada. So i answered the questions and was given back the stamped form to proceed to the second immigration officer.

At this stage i was asked what program i was going for, what school and how many years. Then the immigration officer threw a joke and said " i know u ran away from the hardship in Nigeria, i hear living in Nigeria is difficult" then i laughed and said not really, that i came basically for studies. Then he said "how is the cold in Nigeria, how is the snow" at that point my mind went to he probably wanted to know if i was really coming from Nigeria like i said. That was the only thing that came to my head that would make him say how is the snow. Then i laughed and said Nigeria has no snow, Nigeria is very hot. Then we laughed over it and he stamped my study permit and asked me to proceed to get my SIN(social insurance number) for work.
I went to the next immigration officer and filled out a form and was issued my SIN.
Basically that's about the summary of my experience at the point of entry.

So to all those coming in soon just answer ur questions at the Point of entry confidently and u are good to go. Wish u all best of luck . To all TRV hopefuls trust God and he will make it happen.

P.S Canadians are nice people, they smile at u for no just course, so don't hesitate to ask questions when u are confused at any point. If you tell them its ur first time in Canada they are always excited and eager to help you.

I am still trying to settle. Also make sure ur phone gsm broadband is compactable with Canadian gsm broadband before leaving ur home country else ur phone wont work with Canadian sim. I am having same issue right now cos i wasn't pre-informed. I jost got a new phone here. Information is key!!!

Best of luck guys!!!

Congratulations...... Enjoy Canny land

With this situation at Lagos VFS, can one submit to Abuja VFS even when all official letters/ documents have been addressed to the Deputy High Commission of Canada in Lagos?

Any info about the situation report in VFS Abuja?

That shouldn't be a problem. After all, Abuja is just a collection center. They don't process TRV there, they will still take it to Lagos and to Accra

Ggetter50:
Please, for those who have successfully used online route for their application, is it possible or there is any chance to resume back to your application if you can’t complete it in one attempt?

Thanks.

Yes, you can resume your application any time you want. You don't have to complete it at once

Omonoba1981:
What about if I write a SOP and indicate a plan to further to Bsc after the certificate course in Telecommunication.

Why would you do a certificate course before a B.SC? It doesn't make sense because it is not a natural progression. It should be B.SC before certificate course, that is, if you would need to do a certificate course at all.

People that do certificate course after high school are those in skilled labour like plumbers and electricians, I bet you are no plumber. These people won't need B.Sc after their certificate course.

Check if you can take IELTS, takes less time.

My one cent

Omonoba1981:
I plan to send in my student application next week. But a bit afraid as I have been denied 4 times.

I am 18 years now, and been applying since I was 16 years. My last GCMS note is attached.

I was admitted to a 18months certificate course in in Sask polytechnic

18 years? I think you should be going for 4 years B.SC course instead of 18 months program.

DrND:
Amennnnnnn. Let me start working on my SOP and I will send it across to you for vetting.

From your story sir, you mentioned CIC previously denied you because of history of NDDC abandoning students on their scholarship. They even go a step further to attach Premium Times articles to prove it to you.

From my own view point, it seems they have Blacklisted NDDC and didn't bother going to through your entire application or they have serious doubt on those payments and fees paid by NDDC.

I could say you should look for another sponsor, but it doesn't seem to me like you have that option available to you right now. While writing your SOP, focus on proving the credibility of NDDC. You can even show those they have successfully sponsored and now back.

My one cent

Congratulations.. ....go to Canny and make your country proud

~~Documents Submitted~~
√Normal CIC documents
√Conditional Acceptance letter with funding information (Full funding covering tuition and living expenses)
√Letter of explanation (Financial) pointing out that I have a full scholarship and my paternal uncle will sponsor my airfare costs and miscellaneous expenses
√Above-mentioned uncle's bank statement
√Letter of sponsorship from uncle
√Undergraduate transcripts
√Undergraduate degree certificate
√WASSCE certificate
√National Service appointment letter
√My pay slips
√CV
√My birth certificate
√Letter of Explanation, elucidating on why my proposed course in Civil Engineering is in fact related to my undergrad degree in Geological Engineering. I also addressed the conditions on my acceptance letter, then a final paragraph dedicated to explaining why I want to study in Canada and not Ghana.

NOTE: Even though I submitted my uncle's sponsorship letter and bank statements, I did not list him as sponsor in the application form since he was basically only covering my flight expenses. I heeded @jnyuwa's advice to unequivocally write "Full Scholarship".

I bless the stars for making me discover this forum. Ghanaians are a minority on nairaland, but all your supports make me feel like I'm part of the family.

God Bless you all.
It shall end in praises for all TRV hopefuls.

ayeopare:
Pls chief, just want to know, I applied with a bank statement of account in Canada running to 30k CAD with my Tuition paid. The statement of account I got from my bank was not original statement as it was sent through my mail like around 2nd of February,
also the bank letter of introduction was sent through email, not original and I applied for my Visa on 09th April. What do you guys suggest

Nothing you can do at this point. You have already submitted. I don't think you have anything to fear if your documents are genuine. Let it ride and pray

Thanks boss

Frankrobbn1:
Twallace,

Walk straight to your bank and request for this letter and it will be issued to you within a couple of minutes, let them know it's for visa application.

A Bank reference letter is a letter addressed to the consular officer of Canada, introducing you as their customer, the date and day you opened the account with the bank, your home/office address, for how long you have been running this account with them, attesting that you're indeed a good customer to the bank blah blah etc...

A signature from the Authorized managers of the bank will suffice at the end left and right side of the reference letter.
The letter should be addressed to this address :

Deputy High Commission of Canada,
4 Anifowoshe Street,
Victoria Island,
P.O. Box 54506,
Lagos, Nigeria.

Please what's bank reference letter all about and who should it be addressed to?

Please gurus..... It is possible I can get police clearance from Alagbon on Saturday?

Do they work on Saturday?

Tunsanfc:
Hello people!

Please how do you know you have been call for medicals will they only message you that your passport is ready for collection or they will state it that you should come for medicals!

They will specifically ask you to go for medical.

They will call you for passport collection only when a decision has been made on your application.

You definitely need a new biometrics before your application can be processed.

Darrelah:
Hi guys.. Pls is it normal for my first biometrics to be automatically used for my second application? Applied and haven't gotten biometrics letter for two weeks now.. It Says Application is in Progress...? Should I be bothered. It has been like this since yesterday, was told they did system upgrade yesterday..

Anyone going for international masters in Sustainable development?

Hello guys.

My sponsor (sister) paid my first term tuition and have my living expenses in her dom account. Hope I'm OK?

Is it compulsory she pay the CAD $10,000 into my own dom account?

Please note she can't do this at the moment due to some reasons.

Hope I have chance with just the school fees payment?

This is God's hand. Congratulations bro. Go to canny land and make your country proud

Study permit approved!!! God did it!!! Thanks to all those on this forum that helped answer my questions in the time past. To all TRV hopefuls stay positive and hold onto God there is nothing impossible for him to do. Wish u all luck and favour as you apply... By the way please any idea how long it takes to get ur passport back after paying for the courier service to have it delivered to you?

Bro, why not call them on phone. Most of these schools respond to phone calls better than emails

WANG996:

THANKS....

Hello Gurus

A little bit of me :

I applied for study permit “ going to Thompson Rivers kamloops” 7,600 CAD , first semester tuition paid. Came back to Nigeria last year October 20th from after my 4 years undergrad program in North Cyprus , got PGD admission into Business administration. Traveled to Turkey for 3days also Georgia for 10 days with tourist visa.

My worry now is , i see people who applied on March and got their medical call or TRV approval this April , covering the Nigerian processing time of 6 weeks as seen at CIC website , hence in my case , I applied online on 28th February, did my biometrics on 1st April at VFS lagos, my school resumes by 7th May, I’ve already filled and sent a defer form however.

So am worried that they’ve been on Mum background check for weeks now , even though I submitted police certificates from Cyprus from first day to last days and here Nigeria too . My status still says

“ we are processing your background check, we will send you a message if we need more information “
My eligibility review hasn’t even started , please how do they process this things , which comes afternoon the other , I was hoping I would be called for medicals already . Does background check take long ? And what actually is done during eligibility review?

Somebody help !!!

You did biometrics on April 1st? Practically CIC won't touch your file until they get your biometrics. Without it, it is impossible to process your app.

So your application period start counting the day you did your biometrics which is in this case April 1.

Pray and keep hope alive. Your TRV is on the way

adecoal:
guys i posted this in the morning and someone replied to it... i really appreciate the person's opinion but i'd really love more people to comment on this.... some people i talked to are of the opinion i keep quite about it.... i don't feel good about doing that

thanks guys

Cc @Frankrobbn1 , @Mcobex, @Jnyuwa02 and others with important contributions

Please always be honest with CIC

jnyuwa02:
Encapsulate them into strategic positions in your word document SOP and use them to tell your story!! Just scanning and printing pictures and submitting along with your application, will be rejected.

Thanks boss. Yes, I planned to refer to them in my SOP. In fact, I just need them to buttress the points on my SOP as well as make things clearer.

Hello house.

I want to scan some pictures, print and include them as evidence in my study app.

Is this allowed? Thanks

Just the application form. They will request for certified documents when offer drops

dailydolar:
Did anybody apply to Friedich Schiller universitat Jena if yes I want to ask if you sent you document or just the application form cos that what the school request for want to be sure I applied for medical photonics

Yes. It's FAU. I certified using public notary lawyer. He had his seal on the documents.

They just wasted my money

ajeleseujn:
That should be FAU, nurnberg , right?

A certified document from a notary public must have her EMBLEM on your documents. A text stamp is not sufficient. Make sure ALL the documents you are certifying have this eblem, on each page.

Pleas house help.

My school sent me a rejection letter. Their reason is that I did not certify my documents. I'm pretty sure I sent certified documents to them. (I certified using a notary public)

I have already emailed them. What else should I do?

Glenlucio:
I was in u.s embassy for interview by March 2018 and was Dinied the visa. house, please when can I reapply again?

Why did they deny you visa? Do you have an idea
