Beehandz: Thank you NLs for the encyclopaedia of info pple have shared so far shared on this Canada Visa. You guys are the best

I have admission to Vancouver Island University, BC (GIS Postgrad). Maple Education for my Visa processing. My documents were submitted to CDHC 2weeks ago. So far, I’ve read on this thread pple that got their medical call up in 3weeks and
I’m hoping I will fall into same category by next week.

I have like 10M in my sponsor’s acc which is my sis’s personal coy’s acc and few shares+ 1 landed property estimated @ 25M.

Here are my questions;
I wana believe the 10M+ other little cash is enof for my funding to avoid issues frm CDHC
How soon should I be expecting a reply from the CDHC.

@Lamide11 & Allexy2- I read ur post on the 1st thread of Canada that was closed last year December that you’re in VIU. I will like u to update me on the securing accommodation (peer stay-off campus), and securing job on/off campus and life generally in Nanaimo. Kindly send me a blank mail (Isaiah_beejay@yahoo.co.uk)

@johhnnie- also read on same Canada thread with lamide11 that you r in Vancouver and you have a degree in GIS which is my the course I’m goin for in VIU. I will like u to contact you so you can give me more info about GIS (Isaiah_beejay@yahoo.co.uk)

@bamshy- I read your post on using Maple but you didn’t complete it if you later got the Visa or Not and how fast did CDHC responded to you.kindly inbox me so I can further ask some questions.

@Maple applicants here, kindly inbox me on (Isaiah_beejay@yahoo.co.uk) so we can rub minds

@all visa applicants-With God on our sides, CDHC have no option dan to grant our heart desires

bashtee: @ dipo
I have thought along this line too and i'm looking if i can secure another admission in one of the canadian colleges where i won't have to pay up to the CAD13k humber requires. George brown for ex has a similar course but my CAD application was with my Humber offer. If i get the trv before i pay humber's fees, can i go to a different sch? Or must one go to the sch he applied for try with?

You cant change like that, you will have to resume at humber college,after 6 month that is when you will be able to change school,am not even clear about that you will have to get that info from the school about the change. What course are you going for

My school also operates this system of not giving the transcripts to students but posting it to the institution. Usually, students wait till the transcripts is ready to be posted then include all other application documents (application form and all other supporting documents) in the envelope that contains †нє transcripts. This is more or less modus operandi, but this is what i did in my case. I collected my transcripts myself by arranging with the postman. I tipped him and persuaded him to hand over the transcripts to me. Having collected it, i put together all my other documents along with it and went to submit at VAC Ikeja. When I got to VAC and they saw the transcripts in an envelope, they asked me to open the envelope cos the CHDC won't open any envelope that is sealed. So i opened the envelope that UNAAB had put my transcripts, made copies (for myself ) and submitted.

ifegy:

I think you should check with the high commission re applying in May, and to be sure that you can apply from London. Generally speaking, visa applications from Europe take much less time than from Africa, so possibly May should be fine; but you should always be sure to follow the high commission's guidelines.

Ok. Thanks a lot. I may not be able to use your method because my school uses different courier companies who send their staff for pick up. But then you've really helped me a great deal as now I know that the Visa office doesn't mind a transcript that is not in a sealed envelope so I'll apply and let them send to a company where a friend works then I'll pick up from the friend and add it to my application package. Chikena!

So it also means that even the sponsor's bank statement has to be open ie no document should be in a sealed envelope.

Thanks again.

ebugirl: @dipo: what if the transcript is addressed to CDHC? how does that sound? cos i instructed my school to do dat.

dipo+:


You are welcome. But I should also let you know that like it is done in my alma mater, the school will specifically print the name of the institution that you asked them to send your transcripts to on your transcripts. In other words, if you asked that your transcripts be sent to XYZ consultants, XYZ consultants will be printed on the transcript. So except you are sure your school doesn't do the same thing in printing transcripts (which i doubt), or you are OK with sending transcripts initially printed for a different institution to the CDHC (which is stupid), u should reconsider.


concerning the part in bold, my alma mater also uses different couriers who send their staff too. I explained to the staff for the courier I had selected to send my transcripts to CHDC, and he gave me the transcripts (not without a promise of secrecy from me and some tip)

Thanks alot , can someone call the embassy to ask them all this? and yes i think can apply from london cause i have a valid visa that will last till i get the student visa , cause i got friends that applied from london and they got the visa without going to nigeria or gambia, if i am not qualify to apply from here the uni or college will inform me .

Beehandz: @ ALL- Pls is there any1 going to Vancouver Island University for this September? Kindly inbox me @ isaiah_beejay@yahoo.co.uk so we can rub minds.
Also, how easy can one secure off campus accomodation in a day or 2 upon arrival in canada coz its might be a dark deal paying for an accomodation you've not seen from here.

Obamacare: I was surprise when I read your post. Did you mean a semester fee or all tuition fees for the program? Thanks

snuteria: bamshy, goahead and use the scanned copy explain to cdhc, what is going on, so as not to miss the deadline, my friend on this same forum last year did the same and we are both in canada... he even got his visa before the original came, they can always verify...
