Please can anyone help me with how to track your app online with the vfs tracking number on their site?

As in seriously....I have decided to submit my application with the usual bank reference letter...and hopefully the so called circular...that's if it is advantageous to the application o. You intend doing upfront medical I guess?

SURGEE:
My brother, We cannot come and kill ourselves faa. I even spoke to a Branch Manager at Zenith Bank and he said they cant issue such letter or something. Abeg make we just attach the CBN Circular to our application and cull out some of the vital points relevant to the possibility of getting funds Exported to Canada in our SOP. My thoughts dou!!

Please can someone post the Circular here for us to analyse and see how we can frame some of the CBN relevant policies in the SOP to our advantage.

Cheers!!
In order news, Anyone going to uWaterloo here!! Abi na only me waka come

THANKS A LOT DEAR

emeify:
Please go ahead and submit your application. That letter is not a prerequisite.
If you want, you can source the letter while your visa is being processed, just in case...
But I dont think you should delay application because of that letter

Cheers...

Thanks LightandDarkness. Will do as you have instructed.

LightandDarkness:
Brother/Sister, submit your application first and while your application is being processed you can worry about this. Because from the time you submit till CIC asks you for this letter might be at least a whole month after which they would give you some weeks to provide it so...save yourself precious processing time and launch your application

MeinKampf:
Guess you applied through paper route? because if it's online, it doesn't necessarily have to go to Accra. It can go to any other visa issuing office Canada operates worldwide

I havent even submitted yet cos if this foreign reference/bank assurance tingin. But I am hoping to go tru the online route....

So if I get you right, going by online application, it's not going to be Ghana?

Please I am trying to make contact with the Accra Immigration cos I believe they are the one in charge of study permit. Do the house not think one should confirm from them or something if this Foreign Reference/Bank Assurance whatever is been called is applicable to EVERYBODY seeking for a study permit and that the usual letter of reference/guarantee will not suffice?

Or am I just the only one thinking this way? Cos this reference tingin is driving me nut!!!

I even met with one of the officials of Zenith Bank who happens to be abreast of this foreign reference tingin but also of the view that if at all my request will fly that it will be from the headquarters cos there's a template that CBN bla bla bla....just the same story from first bank....

CanadianNurse:
You need to argue it out with them, CBN forex control policies allows you to export.... See its no a matter of what bank exactly different branches of the same bank might have different opinions on this.. It depends on how enlightened the person you meet is.... Go back to the bank open a domicillary account and ask them for Refrence in that case they should be able to add that clause that the money can be exported because money can be transferred straight to abroad from a dollar account

I pray you meet the right person sha.... Which state are you in?

I tried, I argued and try to make them reason but it tends to fall on deaf years......it's like the only thing delaying me right now from submission. I don't think I can go tru the stress of opening a domicillary account right now with the issue of funding it et al... however i reside in Lagos....First Bank, Zenith and UBA are the banks i have in question here...

will really be glad if anyone can give me info if they have succeeded in securing one...Though Markab has a little bit been of help. I just wish i Know the branch or something.

Markab:
Well, I can feel your pain. The one my wife used was issued at the big elephant bank. Though they admit funds can be exported under the cbn forex policies and the letter is issued based on trust and no staff of the bank or the bank itself should be held responsible for blah blah blah... A disclaimer as they call it. So try your luck

Thank Markab.

If I get you right, I think you are talking about First Bank right? Cos they are the ones giving me this tough time, Zenith Bank not excluded. I even went to the head office today and it's same bull shit story i'm told. Please which of the branches? I reside in Lagos and it's not even funny. Maybe if you can give me the branch and all, I can you know....

I hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

Please I will love to know if anyone has been able to get a foreign reference/bank assurance in any of the banks. If yes, please I will like to know how you went about it and what bank to be precise. Cos, I took the advice of one of us here and walked into the bank to make a request...two banks to be precise and they both told me that there is a template which they all follow and which is from the headquarters.

Also said it wont be feasible to change the norm.

Please in such a situation can i be advised on what do to. Cos I am running out of time as I haven't submitted my study permit application and i am suppose to resume 1st of September...

Please can anyone with a good heart advise me?

I look forward to your response.

Thanks.

Hi everyone, i'm a new person in the house. Heard about the thread from my fiance. Ehmm, please just a quick one. I got a mail for my medicals and considering the short time I have I need to know for those who reside in Lagos where I can get the medicals done and sent to CIC asap. I was told to go do it at IOM Ikeja that they are pretty fast in sending. please how true is this?
