@ Rockefela

Congratulations U of R is a good institution, if your admission letter is for fall 2011, i guess you better start making moves to defer till winter and get a new start date soonest, if otherwise its for winter 2012 then you should start gathering all necessary documentations and prepare to submit by august or september.

@eky thank u very much am for Winter 2012 dats january 5th class resumption date, i have started gathering d documents, goodluck to me

@cuddlemii and other SAIT hopefuls lets talk off forum . 08060434547

@ALL
I did my medicals on thursday and it went thus:
1. 15mins conversation with the doctor about my medical history
2. Blood,urine and eye test.
3. Blood pressure was measured and i was told to remove my cloth and trouser,remaining boxers for the doctor to feel my body if there is any pain at all.
4. Then i was given another form to go to one hospital in oshodi for digital xray.dats all
I paid additional 3k making 30k altogether.i met a guy and a lady for same purpose but dey said na maple den use.dey said they have spent much money ooo but i told them dat i package it myself with God on my side.d doctor told me dat as far as student is concern now,dey will not waste time again in giving d report.i pray that i will never have any crisis,complication or mixed up in my report for Jesus has given me power and authority over sickness and unclean spirit,scorpions and serpent and my adversaries (medical practioner,consular and VO) and nothing shall by any means hurt me.i decree that we re going to have more medicals invitee's soonest and at the end of everything our study permit visa will be granted in the mighty name of JESUS CHRIST of NAZARETH. AMEN

@longe, i submitted my application back in May through Maple and am still waiting for medical instructions, i want to know if you paid any tuition fee or accommodation before getting the medical instruction or after going for the medical?

@Rockafela,

Tofel is in no way mandatory for processing your study permit from Nigeria, as far as your institution was not in demand of it, you are covered. The only relevance of these standardized test (tofel and GRE) is that it confirms you a bonifide student, and puts you in the edge. But its in no way mandatory to submit scores from these test. Even if one puts these test results and lag's behind in other documentations, still won't work out. So my advice is first get all necessary mandatory documentations, then if you have extra cash and time, you can sit for the exam.

@mchuxx,

Just a word of advice, don't be puting your too personal details here, information posted here are exposed to the world, i know we all in these forum have common goal, but there are still bad eggs out there. I suggest you open a public email addresse for such purpose and paste here, i guess cuddlemii and others can always reach you on that and afterwards you can give them your number,

There are a lot of hungry cheap scammers out there.

@ all
about 8 weeks now. still hoping and praying. i remember the case of Aydawale and Igbologo who posted comments on this forum around this time 2008.
igbologo was denied after 10weeks of waiting with d regular stupid reasons(he went to study in Scotland eventually). aydewale got his visa around d same time.

am full of anxiety coz i have given this my best shot. july is the month dat most of the decision for fall semester is made. lets c what this new month have for us.

and guys please continue giving us updates on ur status.

@chizsquare
Are u sure July is the month they take decision on fall session? Mine is d 14th Week dis week.I hope they decide soon because d waiting is slowing down my plans on other options.

@Eky thanx alot, i ill do just dat

@chizquare

The VO always has the start date of each application in mind, don't compare your appllications with others that were called for medicals in 4 weeks, it migth be a small verification that is delaying your application. applications differ so do Visa Officers, you still have about 2 months cus i believe your start date is september, if you called up for medicals, within 3-4 weeks your visa should be out. So just believe. All is well.

@chizsquare,lets keep praying and hoping,mine is in it 8th wk now, like eky102 sed, it may be sm verification dat is stil goin on.@eky102,thanks 4 sharing your wondafl xperience on here. U'r vry right.@bashtee,i tink u sud contact d embassy, on saturday d embassy replied my mail: saying they process study permit in 3 months and enquiries wl be responded to afta 3 months. Base on dis and d fact dat urs is ova 12wks,abeg make enquiry.

@omosanyaolak
I ve contacted them via email,when I didn't get respond from them I realised that I did not include my email in the application form that I filled.am just keeping my fingers crossed hoping that a favourable decision will be made soon.

@bashtee,why not visit the embassy? Maybe in the next 2 weeks.

@eky
my start date is August 16 not September.(lectures starts on 18th).
if i dont hear from them till d end of the 12 weeks(July 28, note dat medicals take 2-4weeks) i can as well say bye bye to fall this year coz my program does not have multiple start dates like others.

@bashtee
i fill ur pain. thats well over 3months

any way i have to go to the embassy next week coz i need to retrieve my medical practitioners license and registration certificates for some very important stuff. dont want to risk loosing all my chances of good stuff this yr coz CDHC needs a quarter of a year to give or deny u a study permit.

@omosanyaolak
I live in Abuja, let me wait till Mid July before I visit them,tanx

Hello please i just added u on bbb, my user name ends with go pls accept

@bashtee,omosanyaolak and all other experienced Nairalanders,
I received a letter from CDHC today,to come for an interview on 4th July. Pls. I need tips and advice from experienced nairalanders. I pray that all of us still waiting will receive positive response(Insha Allah). Please,I need ur advice and tips. Thanks.
ciao

@newacca
that is good news, a positive step ahead, the watch word is confidence and dont you eve eva allow them to intimidate you, just be bold and just remember all that you have stated while applying, your study permit questionnaire,research more about the school,the course and go through your statement of purpose again so that you dont say anything out of the point that you have made there, and dont forget to PRAY FOR GOD'S FAVOUR AND HIS PRESENCE as we all pray for you, SUCCESS all is well, SEE YOU IN CANADA

@newacca,

@ newacca

Guess you they guy going to study ACCA, if am rigth, i guess you should do a lot of research on the importance of studying ACCA in canada, cus that would be a reasonable amount of space. I am really glad for you, you really did upgrade your profile well enuf, that's why they are inviting you, like cindel said, be confident and do not doubt any section of your initial application during the interview. And please research a good reason for studying ACCA in canada, just go onlin you should get goo resources. I think you would be good to go.

Go knock them out.

@Cindel07
Thx so much for the tips,word of encouragement and advice. I will try all my level best to get the visa and dedicate it to all you guyz here. No,I wasnt requested to bring any other dox. except the notice of interview slip and a pre-paid courier envelope. Thx. may God bless you.
ciao

@eky102,
Thx so much. I will do just as suggested by the cindel and all other members of the house. May God bless you.
ciao

@omosanyaolak,
thx for the advice,I will put all the advice into writing. Thx so much.
ciao

@bashtee,
thx so much for all you have suggested. I pray you will also get response soon,and a positive response(Insha Allah)


@obietrex,
thx for the pre-interview questions. here is the response to the questions:
1) There is necessity for me to expand my business and also to contribute more the the development of my father's company. definitely,I need broad knowledge especially in the area of financial management,financial strategies and managerial operation,and ACCA will give me the opportunity to acquire the skills and knowledge needed for me to achieve my aim. Also,getting ACCA certification will add to my prestige in the society,because it is a globally recognized certification.
2) I chose to study at stouffville college because of the qualitative eduation system in the college. Tuition comes with work project,intense research and loads of assignment. Furthermore,the college is an international student friendly citadel where I can meet my counterparts from across the world to share and learn from eachothers culture and tradition.

@kweseke,
Thx a lot brov.

@sujydee,
shukuralillah! Thanx so much brov. I wish you positive response from CDHC as you await your good news. I also want to thank u for the encouragement. I gotta go for it. I will get the visa(insha Allah) and dedicate it to you guyz in this house. thx.
ciao

Hello Everyone,

Nice to be a part of this thread.

Please, I want to start making arrangements towards studying in canada. My area of interest will be either in the Business or Management courses.

I will greatly appreciate if anyone here can advise me on what to do.

1) Is it through that it is difficult to do an on-campus programme for this area of specialization in canada i.e. what are the chances of getting a visa?

2) From your experience, which canadian schools are the cheapest in Business and Management courses?

3) Please, I 'll also like to know the entire steps to take from online application to visa issue.

You guys are really knitted together here and I hope I'll be accepted in here.

Wish everyone the best of luck.
