Okay, sir. Thanks.

Andytheo:
I had a similar experience when booking with IOM. Though all the slots were completely booked, I called them and they fixed a convenient date for me.

@Andytheo,when was this and if recent which number do you have that IOM picks up biko

Please gurus in the house, I need help!!!!

I have been able to secure a supervisor at a university who has told me that my salary for a year would be 20k cad. When showing POF, should I mention this or should I apply like it's not a part of my funds?

Also can a sponsor like my uncle transfer the whole money and declare it with a gift deed?

Lianna2020:
Just go there and have the test, I did same during my time and there was no hassle at all.

Hi Lianna pls I need your help
I still have some concerns . I sent my passport and my 6 yrs old son passport to Abuja for stamping but I checked my tracking and I discovered that vfs failed to receive the documents and so the documents is on its way back to Lagos without visa stamp . I called DHL to know why but what they said that in most cases like that ‘ it could be that my documents was not complete …. I tried contacting vfs to know the right docs to send but Their phone has not been through.My younger son has a US passport.
I am so stressed right now..
This is what I sent
2 photocopies of my passport ,
2 consent forms
Documents received when I did my biometrics
Original international passport
Receipt of Transmission fee (N8,900)

For my 6 yrs old son
2 photocopies of his passport
Original passport
( he didn’t do biometrics so I didn’t add any consent form)
Please I need your guidance on the proper documents to send

So sorry for the stress. Calm down I know it would all be sorted. Did you pay transmission fee for your son? I heard @akannitommy mention sometime back that he was asked to pay for his minor kid, you could contact him to gain more insight. Also try calling the VFS office or better still request that the DHL office check the reasons as stated on the envelope.
All the best.

Hi PrinceAde,

Like I said Do not leave any period out of the 10 years they requested

What you posted here means you left March 2014 - April 2014 out.

Since you resigned in March like you stated, what were you doing before getting another in April ?
(1) Either you put another one ( Mar 2014 - April 2014 UNEMPLOYED)

Or you overlap the employment below as it applied to you;
(a) July 2009 - March 2014
(b) March 2014 - till date

Or

(a) July 2009 - April 2014
(b) April 2014 - till date

I hope it helps.

Regards.

@Scott99tish,I sent you a messge.Am stuck at this level and have tried different scenarios yet it throwing up the employment history error

I think u are meant to pay 8920 and not 8900

Ketima:
FYI all,

Don't know if Canada is blowing it out of proportion as most western countries do when it comes to matters affecting Africa. But if you're traveling to CA through Ethiopia, I guess you may need keep in touch with your airlines. And If you haven't booked yet but want to book Ethiopian airline, guess you have to call them first to get assurance that all is good and ok

Thanks.

Eee God

Thanks for your response. I actually tried the date overlap before posting here and still didnt work.Found out that you need to exclude any period you have stated as part of post education period in your employment history else you would get that error as well.its kinda weird as it suggests they expect all post secondary education to be full-time

To be fair to them they did state it on their page however somehow weirdly I didn't think that they actually meant what they stated coz it defied logic and practicality.Well,i removed the work experience period that overlapped with post secondary education and viola ,it moves on to next stage

Learnings is you have to choose which is omportant for your application i.e either your post Secondary education or any work period that overlaps with yhis.i left post Second education and shed off that part of work experience

..

I’m lost in your write up but glad you made it through…

Their numbers don’t go through anymore

Try their live chat on their website tomorrow during working hours

Andytheo:
I don't think going there early is a problem. However, you'd have to wait till your appointment time before they attend to you.

Except if they have changed, Qlife will attend to you even if ur appointment is by 11am and u get there 8am.I was pissed up wen I did mine and came there exactly 11am,only to find out that ppl whose appointment were even 1pm were attended to b4 me.its 1st come,1st serve as far as it's that date.

It was emailed after seven hours .

you waited for the result or it was Emailed to u?

It is o, it rains everyday and too cold.
I’m grateful we are not at Manitoba.
The cold will make you wonder if you are serious with your life at all.

Jay316:
thanks.u waited for the results or did they send it to ur email?.Also how much for Covid 19 test?



how is Vancouver dear.I hear it rains too much.How true?

@PrinceAdeAde, I can't remember the exact number I reached them on. However, I placed by booking on October 1st (2021). The earliest available date I saw online was 8th of November (IOM Abuja) and 3rd December (IOM Lagos).

I booked for the 8th of November (Abuja) then I called them to reschedule and they changed it to 21st October. Also, they accepted my request to change my test center to Lagos.

You'll be asked to send them a mail with your medical request letter and payment/booking confirmation.

One thing I noticed was that when I got to IOM Lagos for my medicals, some folks booked that very day at the center because they couldn't reach them via phone/email.

So, try and go to their center if you can. I wouldn't have waited 21 days for my medicals if I had known this.

My 2 cents.

PrinceAdeAde:


@Andytheo,when was this and if recent which number do you have that IOM picks up biko

Did you put your son and yours together?
I mean in one envelope?
It’s suppose to be in one envelope because he’s under you.

Did you pay 8920 and printed out the receipt?
Would be waiting for your response because it seems you had put your son different and yours in a different envelope.

Kindly confirm .

Kindly confirm .

Yes I placed both in same envelope. I paid the 8920 fee for just me and also included the receipt .The only thing I left out of his documents was the consent form. I didn’t sign the consent form for him and also didn’t pay the transmission fee for him . Could that be the reason?

Then you need to call vfs because you don’t need to pay transmission fee or sign consent form for him since he didn’t do biometrics and he’s under you .
I’m sure u included the transmission fee receipt right?

You might need to call or live chat them.
This is new to me.

Hello! I see that you're a pharmacist (like me too!) I'm yet to apply but from what I've gathered, you'll have to mention it as a scholarship from the school and even explain the type of scholarship Viz: assistant jobs to your supervisor. What's the name of the school?

Good morning Nairalanders,

Please i need help on what is meant by Room and board, This wasn't stated by my school, can I just do a rough estimate?

Secondly, I only the the tuition for my first year, as it is a 2 year program, can I just multiply the tuition fee by 2?
And lastly, is international differential fee paid once in the first year only or twice?

N.B. I am using the new portal for my application.

Hello everyone please I want to share something and I will appreciate your advices on this. I got admitted to Graduate certificate-Global business management in Centennial college for May 2022 and Post baccalaureate diploma-International business in Thompson rivers for Fall 2022. I am a graduate of Biochemistry but since graduating I’ve been into business, importation and stuffs.

Now I don’t know the school to choose, for higher chance of visa approval, job prospects after graduation, generally a better school, better location for work/better life and easier PR in the future. Please I will need your opinions on this, which would it be? Thank you.

The Canada journey started 2017 .. got admission to University of Regina but Dad said the money was much I abandoned it... I had to try Thompson rivers university got admission was asked to pay a certain amount with a deadline couldn't meet up had to defer... they gave me another deadline after which if I don't meet up the admission will be cancelled.... and Yes I didn't meet up again, I had to leave the whole matter, may be God no want make i travel.
Fast forward to 2021 I just chip the matter for my papa ear and to my greatest surprise he just told me to try it again but I was just having double mind if I should do it or not... I had to speak with some frds that gave me the morale to push it and today I have my Goodnews.
When I saw two messages from IRCC omo fear catch me..I rushed to the portal immediately to check, portal no con gree open I just leave am dey thank God though I had fear in me, after about one hour 30 mins, I checked again while slowly scrolling up with one eye open moving straight to final decision... immediately I saw your application was approved I just started crying, ran straight to my mum and told her the women wan shout ohhh... I just hold her mouth say make she no shout �. God of NSPPD, you have shown me Mercy, I am super grateful.
Below is screenshot of the table of content on the documents I submitted..

Going for MBA University Canada West, sponsor had 9m naira so I was scared this people might want to attack me for finance but God is faithful. An imperfect application but God made it perfect.

Congratulations dear, can I contact you directly? To get a format of your SOP to guide me for mine? Thank you.

Hello Filanodivine,

International Business Management and Global Business Management are the same course of study and offer the same curriculum.

Graduate Certificate and Post Baccalaureate Diploma are both postgraduate programs. The post-baccalaureate diploma is more like a bridging program for professionals or individuals with an alien academic background intending to switch or study a neutral course. It combines basic teaching and augments it with groundwork study essentials at the same level as the Graduate Diploma or Certificate.

Given that you are coming from an alien background, a pure business course like Business Administrative Management would have been more suitable than an international or Global concentration in business management.

Ontario and BC are populated provinces with expanded opportunities than most other provinces. Both are also expensive places and in general, they are both lovely locations to stay and study.

TRU is a good university likewise Centennial is a good college, but in terms of curriculum and for the fact that it is a university, you may want to consider TRU. It is very possible and logical for you to be able to leverage the post-baccalaureate diploma as a bridging program to augment, consolidate or support your prior degree and knowledge.

Best of Luck

Hello Kayfregs,

Except for the IMM 1294e, IMM 5256 (optional), and IMM 5645 or 5707 Forms, bank statement & reference letter, admission letter; the other documents should uniquely be according to your personal and/or economic profile.

As a guide, check and compare your document timeline with those that have shared their testimony but don't arrange your final documents based on it. Be unique.

Thank you boss, I’ll sure put this in consideration.

Please can someone help me with the MP of Ontario’s Contact details.

My application is overdue for conclusion, I need contact IRCC.

Hi mrczar,

Please see as requested: https://www.ourcommons.ca/Members/en/search?caucusId=all&province=ON&gender=all

The MP supports on schools within thier constituency so check the one in the same region where your school is and give them a call and email.

I will also suggest you keep sending e-mail reminders to IRCC as your application has passed standard processing times.

I hope this helps and all the best.
