Hahaha I dey tell you, I knew "they" were going to start another one by saying "he used a Ghanaian passport" see the person doesn't even have any home tie! He didn't even have a job when he applied. Meaning no personal assets except his 100k naira in shares. Just put up a got SOP that's it. Learn guys

maziude:


No vex boss. The boss get home ties...his family...

This is what I have been saying with regards to hometie, if your family is all you have, use them as home tie.

wealth360:
how far? Did you later apply for your trv?

Ohcanada:
Maralina, I admire your "courageous courage", indeed you are favoured by the Most high.

As for other TRV hopefuls, I advice you not to send mails like maralina did. If not for GOD's divine.intervention, the step she took was quite risky.

Imagine how the CIC might feel if they start to receive tons of mail pressuring them on how to run the game.

Exercise some patience and pray hard. It will end in praise!!!

Goodnight fellas.

Not in Cameroun, but in the Great U.S. of Nigeria.

I arrived Edmonton international airport 18:30 local time August 23, 2017. Indeed it was a stressful day for me as I changed flight 3 times from Tallinn, Stockholm and Reykjavik airport respectively. I nearly missed my flight at Reykjavik airport where I was going to exit the Schengen Zone. The immigration officer had to verify my Schengen Resident permit which is still Valid for a couple of years.
At the POE I was not asked any question, the officer checked my passport and landing card then she asked me to go and collect my luggage and study permit. At the study permit collection section, The lady jokingly asked if I was going to work or study in Canada and how long I would be staying in Canada. People here are quite polite and friendly at least for someone that has lived in Europe for a couple of years and visited almost all Schengen countries. I can spot the disparity in the way people interact with each other here.
Thanks to everyone on this forum, Mazuide and co hope to see you some day.
My flight to Saskatoon has been delayed still chilling at the airport. To those still awaiting approval, I pray you get that success mail ASAP.

fembas316:
It was a great moment chilling out with Maziude today at Ottawa. Dude is just as open as he is on the forum. We related as if we have known for like ever. Wishing the TRV hopefuls the very best and to the approved ones, a big congratulations.

wealth360:
you did not answer my question. have you applied for your SP?

oluswagger:
Good evening folks
I applied for SP for myself and WP for my wife on May 5th. I was admitted for PhD prog. Would our applications be treated separately or jointly. Has anyone done this before?
I terrible need answers pls. Am on week 15 though.

jnyuwa02:


Haha, it's easy to see why they approved your PGD bro. You are a different brand of PGD not fitting the brand that wants to run away. For crying out loud, you have a valid USA and Uk visa bro. This one is a cake walk now. Congrats!!

smoothvee:



Yea exactly.. all am saying is that my friend that I applied befor him got his "admissible letter " before me so I'm just looking for someone that has winter 2018.. to know if they've gotten.. cos I uploaded uncertified transcript..instead of certified like they demanded. So I'm just making sure I've not been bounced. Mayb my friend got his "admissible letter stuff cos his program is for may 2018

Good Morning friends, A big thanks to God Almighty my application of 14 weeks was approved on the 22/08/2017.

I also want to thank gurus on this forum(Austinpee, Mazuide, Canadian Nurse and a host of others). I came to this thread having zero Idea about Visa application as I have never done one before and by the grace of God, the application was a success.


PS: I'm sorry to just be notifying the house about the approval.

I laugh at the thought of people when they speak about intending pgd students the bolded above is totally a wrong assumption you guyz need to research well about pdg/pgc programs it is usually targeted at guyz with work experience and its more industry relevant than an MBA. I am not taking away the the fact that the VO has guidelines in making their decision but i will say there is no different brand of PGD and i dont think the VO sees them as running away. I will say here if you are going for PGD please work more on convincing the VO on your purpose of visit even if your UG and the PGD course relates. Also make sure you have a very obvious and strong family tie and it shall end in praise.
Please note that i stand to be corrected this is just my opinion.

Osemigho:

That's why upfront medical is advisable. Let's be hopeful and prayerful.

Also, You can ask your program admin for the "last resumption date". It is usually different from what is written your admission letter. When I asked my program admin about it around June, she said Sepetember 24, while 05 is when classes start.

Ace2013:
Hey one quick question,

How did you get the property valuated to be worth 66M naira. Are there real estate valuators in Nigeria?

AfroHeathen:


Hello,

Yes, I used an estate surveyor.

maralina:
Hello guys,
Forgot to drop this yesterday
For those that their app Has taken much time
I sent an official letter to Cic on saturday,
Stating that my app has exceeded normal processing, and school is about to resume,
Asked them if they needed any document from me again, they should let me know as time is not by my side.
Sent it to them, and i was approved yesterday
I think you should do same too tho..
Thanks

Ace2013:
Thanks for the response. So the estate surveyor stamped and stated the price right? What is the cost implication, the surveyor charged certain percentage? How about where there are multiple properties, same could be done for all right?

Additionally, which bank did u deposit your funds in in canada, is it scotibank? Is it advisable as well as i am my sponsor in this case?

jnyuwa02:


No, but this week I would in Abuja. Been getting my documents ready, I had to get not only a Nigerian police certificate, but also one from the state I lived in in the states and also one nationally from the FBI. Done and dusted and applying next week Monday live from Abuja. Two weeks to resumption, but I laugh at the devil and look adversity straight in the eyes. Looking forward to resuming this Septemeber and if not, in January. See you in Saskatoon.

Everyone has home ties if that is the case. Almost everyone has parents and sibling in Nigeria. In the case at hand, the guys' parents' more than sufficient financial heft, is the inducing factor. In contrast to others who have parents too in Nigeria and get denied.

AfroHeathen:


It has the stamp and the estimated valuation on the survey. There might be additional costs apart from the surveyors fee, it depends on the location of the property, size, aesthetics etc. Yes, the same can be done for multiple properties.

No, my sponsors already have an account with BMO. If there's a way you can open an account with them from here and transfer the money then, that'll be great. Not sure about that though.

Ace2013:
Thanks a bunch,yes there is a way via scotibank but they do not have representative in Nigeria i believe. I am not in Nigeria tho, currently working right after uni (1 year and half) but i will be applying from Nigeria i.e online application because that's is where i have proof of my ties i.e my properties. Similar travel history as yours as well. Is it safe to apply as a self sponsor? I might be asking few other questions as time goes by if you really do not mind. Pro's on here your advise is needed!!!
