SUGGESTION TO THE HOUSE: HOW WE CAN TRACK THE OPERATIONS OF THE CDHC

I have been a member of this forum for the past two months and i must confess, we have really made significant progress in understanding and demystifying the CDHC. Nevertheless, i dont think we have quite yet found a way to monitor their activities real-time. Borrowing from techniques used in tech related forums, where feedback from users is utilized in monitoring the performance of a program or system, we might be able to actually make a break through into accurately unlocking the mysteries into the processing times. This isnt smth new as we have always done it but in a somewhat random and informal manner.

IDEA: Insert a small entry of the following after every post or every 5 posts.

a) Proposed Entry date
b) Date which application was submitted
c)Current Status of application and possible date of status change.

EXAMPLE

Entry : Sept 1
App : 2/4/13
status : Medicals done 5/6/13

or
Entry : Sept 1
App : 2/4/13
status : Processing / Awaiting Medicals

or

Entry : Sept 1
App : 2/4/13
status : TRV approved 10/7/13

This little info might seem simple and irrelevant but it is actually very very powerful. In my opinion i think its an intelligent way to actually use our numbers here to track and monitor the real-time progress at the embassy. It would also help those who might have issues detect such early (for instance, wen people who applied within a certain period all change status within a very short period, those who didn't experience such change would be alert to the fact that there might be a problem and as such call or visit the embassy on time. Also it helps us detect immediately those who made excellent applications and immediately learn from it ( by seeing very short processing durations). Like i said its not new but if we attach it to our posts, it would eliminate unnecessary questions and give us a graphical appreciation of the progress.

Just a personal contribution.
what do u guys think??

Nice bt I don't v anythn to contribute yet, wen I do I will

I have this great concern, I applied to MUN in oct 2012, and decision was made on my admission mid april dis year. I have tried and tried to get an outcome of my admission, but they keep telling me to wait for my package via Normal post.I understand most pple got a hint of their admission via email and later the sch sends dem a letter by post. Will I den be correct dat those who where rejected admission do not get any alert via email but only by post as is my case? Even at the SGS I was told to wait!

Your admission letter is accessible through the UMGradConnect account; we do not mail out hard copy admission letters.

Can someone please shed more light on the above.

Bros from my own understanding....... It means u can login into ur UMGradConnect account and print out your acceptance letter.

No need to start waiting for them to send you any letter via courier.

Please I wanna ask this question before I make a mistake, will my letter of explanation and letter of sponsorship be hand written or typed?
Thanks

Pls guys can u imagine the school that gave me admission is telling me that its too late to apply for visa now in Nigeria cos my start date is september, they said I should consider sept 2014 start date instead. Please should I ignore them and go ahead to apply for the visa or should I listen and wait till sept 2014?

Don't play with fire o...pls don't ignore them. just write to dem, n let them understand that it's not too late to apply for visa because you have enquired from the embassy in your country abt the processing time.

I think you must have asked a question frm them in a wrong way, *they misunderstood your question* n they're advising you to defer your admission.

N if i may ask, which sch is that?

Am in ur shoes bro, evey oda person got congratulatory mails, bt I didn't..so I v moved on, wud advise u do same

The name of the school is Algonquin college, ottawa.
So I should tell them that its not too late to apply for Visa abi? But if I may ask, is it really too late? Despite I have about 3-4months 2go?

...Bro...they already told u its too late....dont u think they know before telling u that its too late? ... These guys wont entertain ur email ....the processing as per CDHC is 18weeks for a complete application...which is pretty much 4.5months....do u have that left? Nope...so...either look for another school for January start or wait till next Sept.

Odinwa:
Thanks bro

You are welcome.

teexzle: hello evry, pls shed more light on this are colleges rily for 2-2 grads..

Oga siga I have seen someone whose application was processed within 3months and was issued a Visa. Should I take the risk or wait? But sept 2014 is too far for me oh!

Well, its late for 3 months.

what do u guys think??

Still expecting contributions from the more experienced members of the house. Currently there is a new member asking if 3 months is too late to apply. I am not an expert but having gone through part 1 to part 3 i have seen applications processed within 3 months . ( several of them) If we start smth like this, people can use it to knw the least possible date at least.

teexzle: Don't get sir, r u sayn I shudnt bother applyn cos am a 2-1 grad

..When did I say that? You said is 2 - 2 for colleges...so, if u have 2 - 1 nothin is stopping u from applying to Univ or College....

I am planning to apply next week with my family (3 kids all under 5 yrs), the college i applied to closes its admission first week in September 2013, am i too late already? Hussy intends applying for a Ph.d next year

am not sure. I joined the forum this year as well, but if you take time to go through part 1-3, you would find some people who have been successful in 3months. Although i suggest you seek advice from more experienced people in the forum or even from VFS. the website says 18 weeks average.
