Every Application has a sensitivity ratio. Even an application submitted yesterday can be ready next week and the one that has been for 3 months will remain.

Peterpan231:

phemmzy96:
Good morning everyone. hope you are having a great week.

I applied 28th Nov last year. Till date I have not gotten a response from the embassy.
I have also not been able to link my account online.
the only mail I got was from VSF telling my passport is ready for pick up.
please I need on what to do

No vex abeg, No be so i think am.

Twallace:
People can be funny. Why are you calling out names? If great and consistent contributors like @Frankrobbn1 don't share their views and opinions, people like you will start begging for someone to reply your posts.

It is not easy for someone to make out time to contribute to this forum. You don't have to follow what they said. You can always scroll past their post. If people like @Frankrobbn1 and Co don't contribute to this forum, this forum will die natural death. You only picked him out because he has been consistent lately in contributing to this forum.

I know some contributors to this forum who have stopped contributing because people kept calling them out like this.

Don't discourage people please.
@Frankrobbn1, don't be discouraged please. Keep on contributing to keep this great forum alive and lively just like everyone else is doing.

Peace

Looking up to what brought up this , I dont think saying it was written for some makes it sarcastic, it is also a good thought becaus eit guides everyone that is a potential 'answer-er', it is okay, if you think i need to be apologetic, i am. but no smoke without fire, the post by our brother points at users here, maybe we should quit the name calling.

mcobex:
Bro, nobody is obliged to answer any body's questions here and if someone take out his time to attend to your question I think it will be nice if you appreciate it. Though his answer might not go down well with you but for him to have taken that step to answer says a lot. Some persons ask questions here and you see people online and they refuse to answer, this is because of that.
I remember you saying you intend going for a 2 month program and he said why go for such? It is not a bad question, all you should do is tell him why. I also remember him, myself and others on this great forum saying you don't need trv but tourist visa.
NB: the person that made the post wasn't in anyway referring to Frank but to newbies who find it hard to do some little research themselves before asking questions and also to let them know NOBODY on this forum can assure you 100% of getting your trv, not even an immigration lawyer. The decision lies in the hands of the visa officer attending to your case, Two visa officers can handle your file and give different reviews . Please let peace reign and stop calling someone out like you just did with Frank

Maybe you need to follow his answers .

mcobex:
And why did you say that?

Hello prospective Canadian Students,

As a follower of this thread, I have gained seriously from information been shared here by co-lovers of Canada.

Kudos to every who have been asking and answering questions here. Indeed, You are doing since great community service work at zero cost.

It is imperative to let everyone asking questions here know that answers are provided to them based on individual or personal experiential opinion which may apparently be helpful for approval or even cause confusion that can results to painful delay. This is because those answering questions are not Canadian Immigration consultants. Infact a lot of people who haven't applied are scared of been refused before applying already.
Majority of our Senior friend who are presently in Canada don't really have time to contribute due to their tight schedules. Greater proportion of those available to answer questions are even still battling with their application, infact , Some haven't submitted their application. So why kill yourself with someone's reply to your question.

We have seen a lot of miracles on this thread, some people have applied with only funding letter and got approval, someone with full funding and only 56,000naira in his account got it. Somebody recently got approval within a day. Many PGD and 1Masters applicant have shared approval testimonies. Sincerely, individual cases are different. Some didn't even submit police clearance, landed property or even LOE and they got approved. When God says YES, who can say NO.

My candid advice,
If u haven't gotten admission offer yet, focus on that first and read on this thread before disturbing yourself with anxiety of either TRV success or refusal.
Follow your mind to select the best route for your application and don't let anyone scare you with refusal.
Never base your application only on the info you get here, Do extra work by reading all necessary information on CIC website. You can as well contact the Canadian immigration consultant in your proposed University as I know University of Alberta has. An online webinar was organized by University of Alberta recently to share tip on study permit application to prospective students, some of what we learnt there have never been shared here because the presentations where done by registered Immigration consultants. They covet more questions from us as soon as we have one.
Gather your documents well and have faith in God..
Let your SOP/LOE be original. Don't edit someone else own, plagiarism is a serious offence.. Explain things that are special to you. Keep it simple and straight forward. Address all the questions expected to be answered in it. Never rush in writing it.

Frankly, I tailored this post to build the hope of someone. If you have done your assignment well. Only visa Officer can determine the outcome of your applications. Just use information gotten here as extra guide and not a major procedural manual.

May all those who have submitted and those yet to submit to CIC either by online or paper route get approval. Medical and passport request mail will roll in..

Kind Regards

Thank you so very much for the Faith and life you injected into me.
I already submitted my application though, but i will keep you updated on the outcome, anyhow e be!
You are a true friend and brother , as the case maybe, In Jesus Name, i will scale the hurdles and send you my first salary afterwards as tithe offering.

@Vibrant99

If you've funding from a Canadian University for your program and it's a progression to your career, pls by all means apply for it. Send me your CV & SOP let me help you to review it. I can assure you that the outcome will be favourable in Jesus name. Enough of this fear of applying for a visa even when the program is going to be fully funded.

N/B: if your funding is coming from Nigeria, pls dont bother to send to me because VOs dont take Nigerian scholarships serious.

Exactly, from the point i was looking it through, it a tourist visa for a short study, not applying for any Permit, though i was advised to, I have a scholarship from the Canadian government, and i was sent an Affidavit form to submit with the application, Never done this before, never traveled before even, anyway, I submitted yesterday.

mcobex:
Cc:Vibrant99 , since you will be applying for tourist visa I suggest you check for the requirement on cic site (it shouldn't be up to that of study permit). So, a visit to their site will answer your questions.
NB: Also your application will be treated here in Nigeria(I think Lagos). The processing time also can be gotten there (won't be up to that of trv)

Thank you sir, every bit is appreciated immensely.

Frankrobbn1:
Vibrant99.
Those Why's are the questions the Visa officer will throw at your application. So prepare to present a rational explanation to each of them.
Of course yes people go for conferences in Canada sponsored by their respective companies/Firms.
Well, I'm not a Visa officer, but from my experience Sir, The duration/length of your program has alot to do with your visa. We have seen so many cases of applicants applying for a year program and got denied with.... PURPOSE OF VISIT AND LENGTH OF STAY IN CANADA talk more of 2 months program.

Above is my intake. But you may decide to give it a shot, If you think you can convince the visa officer.

All the best

Thanks brother, The 'whys' you asked are they to be tackled by me or to slow me down?
I thought people went for conferences that lasted 3-10 days? i don't also think Scholarships is thrown around in Canada, i could hardly read up to 10 people here applying to studying in canada with a scholarship! so there should be more to it and you could aslo have inquired, but i appreciate you lines and guidelines , I put it into consideration, but in its entirety, does it mean the time of study would affect the outcome of the visa? What do i know.

Frankrobbn1:
Wrong information...... MISLEADING
Please if you don't have answers to a particular question, kindly move on to questions you have relevant answers on. Thank you!



Andre99 is correct you have to apply for a tourist/visitor Visa (The both are the same). While doing this, its very important to convince the visa officer that you're a genuine student and that you will leave at the end of your visit and not overstay your visa. Why are you going all the way from Nigeria to study a 2 months program, why can't you study this course in Nigeria, why Canada not Nigeria?, what are the benefits of this course after completion of studies in Canada?, Do you plan to use study permit as a means to abscond into Canada?

Be guided properly Vibrant99.

All the best.

Abeg, I want to ask, A program of 2 months with a scholarship to go with it, ... am i applying for Student visa or Tourist Visa?
Please , urgent answer from the greats !!

Omonoba1981:
@Frankrobbn1

Thanks for your response. I am just 17 years . Completed my secondary school two years ago when I was 15 years and since then have secured 3 admission and refuse 3 times/ 4. After my secondary school I traveled to Canada for visit. Tried converting my visiting permit to Student, got refused and was told it has to be outside canada. Went to US twice to apply from LA got refused. Then Someone Advice I should applied from Nigeria. Came in Nigeria May 9th 2017 to apply after 6months got the last refusal. I am presently back in US with a Visiting Visa and still have 3 year left on my Canadian vising permit.

I just secure admission for BSc in Regina and also 1 year course in Sask poly. But I need to know, what I am doing wrong before applying for the 5th time. More so I have never stayed beyond 6months when ever I visit Canada, I am still valid visitor to US and I plan to apply from US this time. I also have been to Europe and left when I needed. So I said Jangon, because I have never stayed beyond my stay in any coutry I visit.

I presently secure admission also to US community college and got my F-I 20 but I still prefer studying in Canada

So please I need advice!!!

And you are Just 17 Years? Afraid Catch me .

jnyuwa02:
Wrong moniker. They might look at the school to see if it's accredited and legit program. But they don't look at ratings because it is vulgar to do so. Going by ratings, only students admitted to the highest ranked schools will be getting TRV first. But like we saw the other day, someone with admission from Osgoode Law school was rejected by VO. I can see such rejections perhaps maybe this person failed to show how an education in common law Canadian system would be applicable and translated into Nigerian system.

Like i said, I "Heard"!

Please , someone with a scholarship should have an easy ride?

jnyuwa02:
Changing schools is your prerogative to do and will not paint you as desperate. What will paint you as desperate to a VO is having a first class and going for a PGD. They will think you are trying to escape the country. It is usually hard to justify and I won't stop you from trying if you think you can do so. The big question you would have to answer is can you do networking and information system within a master's degree? The rate of denial as somebody said the other day for a PGD/C, is 10:1 as compared to a masters. I agree.

Sorry to interfere, But I keep seeing "FIRST CLASS", what school did you get this First class?

I heard they look at the School's Rating too, what do i know.

Austinpee4:
Firstly, congratulations on the award of scholarship.

You see, the issue here is really not about the scholarship but about you being able to convince the VO that you will indeed complete your course and leave Canada. So the onus lies on you squarely to satisfy the officer that completing the certification is your primary motive and also why you have to get it in Canada, how it would improve your current circumstance and that your will leave Canada(this is actually the most important).

They are largely not really interested in how you got the scholarship(You can use this to you advantage in convincing them though) or how much your program cost but must be convinced you will obey the conditions that will be imposed on your temporary stay during your program,can sustain yourself and will depart Canada at the end of your authorized stay should your visa be approved.

You can get your TRV approved if you satisfactory convince them. Considering the short term nature of your certification and also considering you won't need to apply for a study permit, you will have to do a good job answering their unending questions of 'WHY'. The onus is on you.

Lastly, you won't have to go to the embassy. All
processing and documentation are submitted at VFS also know as Canadian Visa application center(CVAC).
You can find out more info about them here
https://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/nigeria/index.html

I read on this thread, how being married , Having Kids and having a Job here can be very helpful in showing strong ties back home.
Thanks alot , I must confess, I dread being rejected and becasue it my first time, I hope i will be favored.
Thanks once again.

Austinpee4:
Before you make these considerations, one important thing to ascertain is if the certification is obtainable in Nigeria. This is where it will even start from(from the VO's perspective).

If it is not, then you will have to convince officers why you can't do it else where aside Canada and why you have to do it in Canada considering the expenses and the duration of the program. It will be from that considerations that you will proceed. Aside this, i'm afraid you risk your application to be refused on your purpose of visit even though you may not have to apply for a study permit.

Thank you so Much for the prompt Reply.

Firstly, I said it is a Scholarship i won.
This means that out of over 1 million people who applied for this program , There only 22 seats every year for this program, and i was selected.
There was a written Essay, relevant documents were submitted, Qualifications submitted and CVs.
I feel this isn't just someone who got an easy ride, Isn't The VO seeing it from that perspective?
Secondly, you can't do the Certification anywhere in the world except as a Masters Program. (permit me to keep this program a secret).
It is a program that cost over 16k CAD.
The questions you said the VO could pose are not very sturdy, as it answers itself. (SCHOLARSHIP).
The only expenses here is paying for the Flight and my own personal Expenses.
I have not been to any Embassy B4, i don't know how they do anything there, so am just considering using an agent , but on a second thought, I am trying to see if anyone here can help.

Goodday House, I got a scholarship for a Certification, and it is just for one Month, Am Married and have kids . Am applying to go alone.

Questions.

1. Will this be categorized under student Visa?
2. Do i require a study permit? (Asking Cos it just 4 weeks).
3. Do i require to also prove financial strength? (As almost everything,except travel cost is what i will be paying for, The school is doing the rest)
4. How long does it take to get the Visa ready, so i can plan ahead before the Program.(at least know when to apply)
5. What documents should i be candidly looking at providing? (Very important ones)

Thanks.

Await you all to help out.

wip7:
Yes, you can apply for a visa EVEN when you have not applied for an admission.

Are you Taunting the person?

Kj40:
@wip7, 2700USD as deposit for master program equivalent to #1,026,000 at #380/1USD. And u guys said is affordable. Please what is the total amount of money to secure the admission needed at first payment. hmmmmm (takn deep breath)

You Only have to deposit 2500USD, and That is around 920,000 Naira if you can get someone to pay online using Mastercard with Enough Cash Limits, Sincerely it is a good investment for a Masters Programme in a very good enviroment, it may look much now, but wait until you get and migrate to the west!

2 KINGS 4:19 He said to his father, "My head! My head!" His father told a servant, "Carry him to his mother." NIV.


Let first clear that in the bible there is no he or she , "Man" was used to describe the Man and woman.
The son that grew and One day went to the farm with the father shouted out, "my head , My Head"!!!
The shout as related to the weather condition of the time, Maybe the sun was so hot he started Feeling the Heat, and The Father said, Take Him to his Mother!

Minister for petroleum Has Grown well enough to attain a reasonable post in comparison to the boy who can follow his father to the farm.

The minister have all it takes to withstand the corruption in the Oil industry and Make it a better place, even though the pressure to be corrupt was high,In comparison to the boy who could not Stand the Heat of the Sun.

And The Minister Is Crying out to the whole people who has been along with her in her dealings, The ones she met there at NNPC and those she brought brought herself, The senators and all the billionaires that helped her and she also helped, All of them have distanced her, But all they could say was, "TAKE HIM TO HIS MOTHER".... Is That the Reason She is alone in Court with Her MOTHER?

Why do Mothers' Have to suffer all the pains?
why do Mothers have to do the Crying each time we fail, Each time we bring and inflict pains on ourselves?

Mothers are stronger than fathers, They will go it with you when it is all gone.
