I'm coming to Uvic mid-August... I'm super interested. I've been looking through kijiji and Facebook market for weeks...
The funniest thing is that I've asked here and other "living in Canada thread" several times and didn't come across your post. I've sent you a mail.

Sorry for the late reply. I've received a couple of interests in the room of late, so sorting through them. The room(one of a 2 bed) is $900 per month, fully furnished and with utilities. The move in date is September 1. And a male is preferred.

If you are coming to the University of Victoria this fall and looking for accommodation dm me. There is a fully furnished room in a 2-bed that will be available starting September 1st. Let me know if you are interested.

Olayemi360:
Goodday house, what's the best way to get an affordable flight from Nigeria to canada, Alberta specifically. NY final destination is alberta, Grande Prairie but tickets are ridiculously high. Thanks

You may also try IATA certified travel agents and ask them to give you options. Sometimes, the flights that are cheaper and appear to have been fully booked were actually reserved by these travel agents.

victorsol:


which school, program and were you able to secure supervisor before applying?

Yes I sent an email to prospective supervisors and the one that shown interest in supervising my research was the one I mentioned in my application

Those who are sending me PMs should kindly ask their questions on this forum for the benefit of others

xcaper:
Congratulations. What's the name of your school and course of study? Did you get full funding from the school?

UVic - University of Victoria. Well I guess it is, even though they didn't call it full funding or partial funding

victorsol:


Congrats bro

Thanks

Prayers! Prayers!! Prayers!!!

The Lord Jesus truly glorified himself. When it took so long to get a medical request I sent several emails and web forms. And I also contacted the school international students services unit to inform them about the situation. I think God used them to reach out to the consulate. I also sent an email to the IRCC Minister. The same day I received my medical request, the school replied me. After medical examination there was no update for about 20 days. I prayed, sent emails and web forms. There was no update. I again contacted international student services. About two weeks later medical was passed on a Sunday! ISS reached back to me again to confirm if I have received any update. And I told them about the update. Then Friday 28 June morning, Biometric Validity Letter and PPR within the space of one hour. I almost lost hope thinking my application would be as the case of June/July 2018 applicants but God showed me mercy.

Reactivated:
I also submitted mine the same day and it was ready exactly two weeks after (28th). they didn't call or email me, i had to track it continuously till it was ready and i picked it up the following week on the 2nd of July. So if you haven't tried tracking it, please do.

How does one track it? Will I need to input the CALA followed by the numbers?

Vesment:
please i didnt get account or profile update, but i logged in now to find out that my medicals have been passed and eligibility started but didnt get any mail , should i be worried?

That's normal. No worries

Chinedum2019:
Pls help im new here, i have a similar issue in hand, its more than 15wks now and its still on background check.is this normal? What am i supposed to do Pls i sent u mail mcobex...pls i need help asap....thanks .
I submitted online through an agent since march 25th and no word from them since after d biometrics...pls I need help from all d gurus in d house

Reach out to your school international students services unit to inform them of the situation and maybe they could inquire on your behalf from inside Canada. This only works if your application has exceeded the processing time

PppppppppRrrrrrrrr

litterbug:
After 11 months of waiting, medical request mail dropped for me and my children today. The good Lord who started this is faithful and he would complete it.

That's a long time o.. .

nija4us:
hello brothers and sisters,

A study permit application was submitted last month and the applicant will stay in the campus so the letter of $40 non-refundable campus accommodation application fee was also submitted.

Now school demanded confirmation deposit of $400 to secure the room for the fall semester and this has been paid now and letter of accommodation deposit confirmation issued.

Please my question is do I need to email this document to cic or its not important since they have the $40 application fee letter. If am to email, to which email address please.

Your honest opinion required, thanks.

Upload it via IRCC web form. It's a medium for enquiring about your application or updating it with new documents.

MsJu:
Both.

Thank you.

MsJu:
Send the medical report you were given to the London office.

Thank you. Should I send it via email or web form

Tlontin:

I have told you to send the e medical paper you were given at iom to them via webform and email.

I wasn't given any. They said they only give to those doing upfront

Tlontin:

Send that e medical paper you are given at iom via webform. By the way, is it a request or upfront?

It was a request. Now because it's already 30 days after medical request came in, my CIC account is show we have not received any medical results. What else can I do? I have sent them email many times but no response or update

OptimusPrime21:


Mail cic about this
. Call the facility u did the medicals to confirm if they sent it to cic

Thank you for your reply. I called IOM this morning and they confirmed that they sent the results on 24th of May. I have also sent webform enquiries but no response or update.

Hello house. It's been over a month since I received medical examination request letter and have completed my medical examination. But the results have not been updated since It was sent on the 24th of May. Any advice on what to do?

Thanks but I went myself and they refused to give me the un -official copy. I'll just request the official one sent to a place I can pick it up, as advised.

Well if your School is Unilag, just use the one on your student portal. And you can even pay NGN1000 to have the unofficial transcript sent to your email address

Good evening I'm about applying for a study permit and all above are my documents... 

Ps: studied political science and international relations as undergraduate and have 1 year working experience at a company as an administrative officer and currently at another company as an administrative officer this one going to 2 years, I applied for a PGC at NBCC....course: Administrative professional: Executive. School fees is 9100 for the duration of the course and it's 1 year and 6 months. 

My uncle is my sponsor, am I on the right path, what else do I need, my uncle has a wife and a kid in naija here, how much can or should be in his account..thank you.


And pls I've constructed my SOP to the best of my knowledge, pls who can take a look at it and correct if it needs. Ese gan

olaola17:


Thank you.

My sponsor is an elderly man who has his own business and his last born is married and lives in the US, he is a guardian and doesn't have plenty responsibilities in that sense as he just accumulates funds. So do i need a co-sponsor if that was what they are referring to and hope they are not referring to my personal financial status cos i do not have enough money in my own personal account?

I applied 8th April
Did biometrics 11th April
Got a correspondent letter that biometric is valid for 10 years on 9th May (early hours of the morning)
Got another correspondent letter showing refusal on 9th May (Late evening)

Kindly advice.

Sometimes one wonders if the VOs actually take time to peruse the applications. I think this is the main reason behind the inconsistencies in their decisions. Some of them may have prejudice for certain ethnic groups, or even the way you look on your digital passport. One can never tell, anyway.

kniru:
Thanks for the response.
We have disturbed the registrar and they keep saying they don’t know what to do, is there any governing body we can escalate this to ?

I'll advise you to go back to the University and beg to see the VC. Also, the problem could also have risen from her department. Probably they didn't send it to exams and records. University administrators in Nigeria can be very clumsy when making filings. Who was her Part adviser when she was graduating? Has she participated in the convocation ceremony for her set? Can she print out a student copy of her transcript from her online portal? Has she been awarded her certificate? Answers to these questions could help to understand the situation better.

sillysassysally:
Nairaland Fam!
Thank you all for the congratulatory messages
The past couple of weeks has been an emotional rollercoaster! But knowing that we were all on a similar journey - each one at a different stage - was some sort of comfort.

My Timeline
Applied with upfront medicals – April 14th
Medical Request – May 6th (I was surprised when I got this medical request because I did upfront medicals, so I was wondering why they were still telling me to do medicals). I sent a web form with my e-medical slip attached and I also sent emails to Lagos, London, and Kenya. On May 7th (the day after receiving upfront medicals), I went to the hospital to see the doctor who attended to me and doctor told me that he sent IRCC a message to link my upfront medical ID to my medical request ID.
Medicals passed – May 8th
Correspondence letter and Passport request – May 9th
Overall, my study permit took less than a month to be approved! Specifically, it took 25 days!

Things I believe that worked in my favour
1. The Grace of God that covered all my errors and colored all my efforts.
2. My resumption date (June 17th). I sort of feel that they give priority to people with nearer resumption dates. If you look at the timeline we have, you’d all notice that people resuming closer tend to get their decisions quickly – this does not mean that you should intentionally delay your application. At the end of the day, no one really knows the minds of these VO’s.
3. I have a strong international travel history (USA, UK, Brazil, South Africa, etc)
4. I made my submissions as organized as possible. Infact, I did a table of content for each pdf I merged so that whoever was working on my application would easily understand it.
5. I explained all lump sums with proof… (Sometimes, I see people saying things like “they’ll increase the money in their account from 5 million to 10 million” and I feel this raises eyebrows as it would question whether those funds are really available to the applicant.
6. I wrote a banging SOP… details below
7. I was truthful in my application. I have like 5 half-siblings (one living in the US and one living in the UK). I mentioned all of them in my family information form even though I was scared that it could potentially weaken my home ties.

Things I believe were the weak points of my application and how I addressed them
1. This was what I perceived to be the main weakness of my application. I was using student loans as proof of funds for my tuition. Mind you, these loans were from a reputable and internationally recognized company called Prodigy Finance. I addressed this perceived weakness by using a sponsor who was financially capable of paying off all my loans (even though most of her asset were illiquid (land and truck). Also, I believe I was able to show a strong academic and professional track record that indicated that I was financially capable of personally paying off the loans on an installment basis.
2. The name of my sponsor across all her documents was not consistent because she is a divorcee. I addressed this by submitting an affidavit of change of name with a newspaper publication

My advice to prospective PO’s
The truth is that you have to do the hard work yourself... Even though you can easily get guidance here, you still have a lot of homework to do yourself... Understand your profile – its weakness and its strengths and address them.

Documents I submitted
CAQ (Mandatory for students schooling in Quebec)
CIC Forms
Digital Photo
My passport showing all previous visas and stamps
Proof of upfront medical exam
Evidence of work requirement in study (my program comes with co-op)
Letter of Acceptance (Unconditional – though I sent the conditional one via a web form. I also begged them to process my application speedily considering my close resumption. However, my web form was never acknowledged). The other documents I merged with my Letter of Acceptance includes; acceptance deposit receipt, academic qualification documents (such as my certificate, transcript, WAEC certificate and TOEFL results), professional qualification documents (such as my CFA level 1 badge, letter of introduction from current employer, my bio page on my company’s website, work ID, and letters of employment from internships I had done in the past), then other documents (such as my NYSC certificate and my birth certificate).
Proof of financial support – Prodigy Finance loan of about CAD 36k (30K for school fees and 6k for living expenses), Paid acceptance deposit of CAD 5K, Scholarship of CAD 8.5K, Dorm account statement with living expenses of CAD 11K… These were the funds that were budgeted for my studies. Apart from the aforementioned, I had about NGN 1m in stocks, NGN 100k naira in T-bills, NGN 250k in RSA, and NGN 70K in my salary account – all of which I showed. In addition, my sponsor (who was my mother) also had NGN 1.9m in her account, NGN 5m in T-bills and NGN 4 m in RSA. I also showed my sponsors illiquid assets such as landed property with valuation worth NGN 40m and sponsors business asset ownership (trucks) worth NGN 20m. The essence of all of these other funds and documents was just to show that my sponsor could actually pay off my loan. Someone (an Indian) told me that if I was using loans as proof of funds, it was important to use a sponsor whose financial situation showed that they could handle the loan.
Finally, under client information, I included the birth certificates of my siblings, as well as the international passport data page of my sponsor (mother). I also included a letter and affidavit of sponsorship, Sponsors business certificate of incorporation and memorandum of association, and sponsors affidavit of change of name with newspaper publication. Finally, my “banging” SOP was in this section.

SOP
Unfortunately, I cannot share my SOP on this forum because I don’t want a case of copy and paste. My SOP also contains personal information… Nonetheless, I can share the structure.
- I started out with an Intro about myself, as well as my academic and professional trajectory.
- Then I moved to another paragraph I called “my purpose” where I spoke about my motivation for the course I wanted to do
- Then I moved to another paragraph I called “Why I chose McGill University” where I spoke about why I decided to opt for Mcgill as opposed to other options in Nigeria and in other countries.
- Then I moved to another paragraph called “Justifying the cost of my program”. This was important for me to do because – as I mentioned earlier, I was using student loans to finance my education and my school fees is freaking expensive (CAD $ 47,500) so it was important for me to “justify” the cost of my studies to the VO.
- Then I moved to another paragraph called “Family & Economic ties to Nigeria” where I spoke about my home ties being all my family in Nigeria. I also explained things that would make me return to my home country such as the amazing career I had started in Nigeria (evidenced by all the documents I submitted in my Letter of acceptance. I also spoke about specific things I wanted to use the Msc to achieve in Nigeria.
- Then I moved to another paragraph called “Funds available” where I showed a table of funds I had available.
- Finally, I finished with a section called “My responsibilities as a student” where I explained that I fully understood my responsibilities as an international student in Canada – bounded by the conditions of my student visa and by McGill University. I also wholeheartedly committed to abiding by all the rules and responsibilities that would apply to me as an International student in Canada and at McGill University.
- Then I ended SOP by telling them that their support is very essential to my dreams. I also humbly requested for the issuance of a study permit that was effective on or before the 1st of June 2019, as I wanted to travel to Canada by the 10th of June 2019 to acclimatize and get ready for my schools’ orientation on the 17th of June.

I have gotten so many emails today alone and I’m afraid that I may not be able to reply all in due time, but I would encourage us to share the questions here. There are so many amazing people on this forum that are committed to helping people! Special shout out to all the people doing this! Cc JustMellow, Bracha, etc. I can’t mention you all, but it gives me great joy when I see how selfless you all are to helping out willingly! Only God can reward you all!
On this note, I want to especially thank Frankrobbn1 - this guy is so amazing! He was so interested and committed to helping me that I started to think he was working for IRCC as a spy… I want to also specially thank AAO7 – amazing person! First time I sent her an email, we moved to WhatsApp and chatted all through the night to about 1 am. It was nice having someone to gist with and to both share all the frustrations we faced with the entire process.

Finally, I want to say a word of prayer to all TRV hopefuls…
Dear God,
You are in control of every situation of our lives and you know every one of our needs, as well as the dear desires of our heart.
I pray that in your grace, mercy, favour, and love, you would allow the application of the hopefuls of this thread to be approved quickly and without delay.
Thank You because you are a God who hears and answers the prayers of your children when we come to You with open hands and a humble heart.
I pray in Jesus name, Amen.

IT SHALL END IN PRAISE!

By the way, I must comment that you are so meticulous. Well done!

I pray in Jesus name, Amen.

IT SHALL END IN PRAISE!

Congrats once again. And amen to the prayer.

It could also be a means to redraw back the attention of the VO to an (already push aside) application

Thanks @JustMellow. Yes, that's what I hope it would do. I guess the VOs sometimes omit some applications intentionally or unintentionally. I pray this will yield some favourable reaction from them in Jesus name
