Adajulien:
Please o, someone should help me with direction to Canada visa application office from mile 2 biko nu

I don't know where mile 2 is as I am not that familiar with Lagos, but if you find yourself in Oshodi, take a cab going to Ajah, and drop at Ikate. Cross to the other side and walk down opposite where you dropped. Ask the people around that you are going to the VFS office as you are walking down. They will show you the place. It's not far from the main junction you alighted.

waywardpikin:


Can I do my biometrics before submitting my application?

No, you can't do biometrics before submitting your application.

After you submit your application, you will receive a biometrics instruction letter that will outline how to give your biometrics.

MizMyColi:


Congratulations!

I hope your journey here is fruitful and massively successful.
I wanted to ask, about upfront medical, can one do it after applying?
Did you raise a webform to submit it or is it automatically reflected in your account?

Thank you.
I did my medicals two weeks before submitting my application. With all that I have seen here, you can do your medicals before or after submitting your application. Your result will be sent to IRCC.

If you submit your application before doing medicals, I think you will need to raise a web form and submit the document given to you by the medical centre.

kingslove030492:
Thank you for this. Can you also help state or list the documents you submitted alongside. You said it was a simple application. Please, don't forget to email me on kingslove030492@gmail.com or you drop your email so I can email you or drop your contact so I can contact you.

Thank you.

These are the documents I submitted

**Admission letter
**I received a funding of 23k for the duration of my program from the School ( I submitted the letter )
**Gtbank statement (generated from the app) 16m. This was a lump sum. I explained where the money is from and the purpose of the money in my SOP
** Currency converter and cover letter stating my first year financial plan
**Plenty pictures of myself and what I do ( I was refused a visit visa last year based on "I don't have financial establishment in my home country"
** Passport data page
** NIN
** Transcripts, Certificate, IELTS result
**ID card(expired end of last month) and certificate of short courses I have done that are related to the course I chose.

Marcgrace:
Hi, Congrats @Ajebogirl
Please could you guide me on the most important points to write on my SOP?

** Introduce yourself
** Why you chose your course of study
** Your future goals and how it relates to your course of study
** Why did you choose the school

** Financial establishment

These are the few I can remember.

In all, tell your story, and be sincere with it.

It's PPR

This can only be God.

Application submitted May 11

I was born in lagos and what I had was that I can only get the birth attestation at the state of birth which is Lagos.

Go to NPC website. You can now do your birth attestation online. When I wanted to do mine in February at their Abuja office, I was asked to go online. You will pay 3k as remittance with charges less than 100 naira or so (can't remember). Within 24 hours, my birth attestation came out and I downloaded it from the NPC portal. The payment is also online. You don't need to stress, you can get your attestation from the comfort of wherever you are.

OTSAMUEL:
Hello Gurus in the House, men that have been the vital support in helping get there study permit in this page, I greet you all.

Please sirs and Mas, A friend of mine submitted a study permit although he has applied before and has been refused that means he need not to do biometrics again, but since the day he applied it's been five days now, the portal have not Updated his Biometrics hope nothing is wrong sir. And will they still update it. Looking forward to your responses, thanks.

Mine has also not been updated on the portal, but it changed to completed on the tracker after a week. However, the biometrics date and expiry date have been reflected in my profile since the day I submitted my application ( I hope this is clear )

kachi10000:
Hey guys, can someone help me. I having issues with the maximum 2mb file limit on IRCC website. My proof of Funds is quite large cause I have two sponsors and I can't compress them well enough that will make them with 2mb and still be legible to read. I planned to divide it into two and upload the second file in the personal consent file allocation and them give an explanation in my letter of explanation of what I did. Please is this a good idea or is there another option that can be recommended?

Having divided the documents into two, convert both to a pdf and merge them. You can use ilovepdf.com to this. Then compress again with pdf2go.com. it will be clear to read.

Hello everyone I first applied for a visit visa sometime last year, and this was the reason I was denied. Now that I want to apply for a study visa, what do I need to work on based on the reasons for the refusal of the visit visa. Thank you.

Pls, what do I need to work on in my next application? Home ties or financial aspect? Mind you, now I'm applying for a study visa, not a visitor visa.
Thank you for all you do here.

Please it is advisable to use an agent while seeking admission to school in Canada. Can anyone recommend a school I can apply to for a Master's? I have a B.sc Economics and ACA with work experience as an accountant.

Pls don't use an agent. No one will know how to tell your story like you when you are applying to a school for admission. You can only seek guidance which many here have been willing to give.

Start by knowing the course you want to do for your masters and why you want to study the course. Then, look out for schools in Canada online that offer the course to your satisfaction. Pick one of the schools and apply.
In all, pray for God's guidance ✌️

I included police character but I think it was useless. IRCC doesn't need PCC, so if you haven't done it, then don't do it, it is a waste of money. IRCC has their own internal means of doing background check.

Docs submitted:

- LOA/Admission letter, the admission came with 22500 CAD pa in support for living expenses for the PhD and a part tuition award (not full tuition waiver but the leftover can be covered from the faculty support)
- Quebec Certificate of acceptance
- Photo copy of data pages of all passports and pages with previous visa stamp and travel History (I previously studied and lived in Europe for close to 7 years)
- Resident permit photocopies for the two European countries I lived in.
- Marriage certificate
-SOP/Letter of explanation (4 pages with headings)
- Landed property with docs of valuation worth over N35m
- POF with bank letter head. The statement 8 month turnover is over N83m with balance of over N19m (I applied when exchange rate was at the highest level. I didn't attach any document evidence of source of income I only mentioned them in the SOP.
-Dom account statement with balance of just about 1600 USD, again no documentary proof of source of fund - just a mention.
- Exchange rate converter
- CAC company registration
-Consent letter from my wife and in the letter she attached three pictures, one from each of our court wedding, traditional marriage and church wedding. Then another picture showing us and my three kids).
- proof of payment of acceptance deposit (250 CAD)
-Screenshot of fulfilling of admission conditions (out of three universities I attended two sent original transcripts and the third one was in progress - one Nigerian Uni and two European Universities). I also explained this in my SOP.

- Police character certificate (this was unnecessary waste of money - don't do it).

-University transcripts and degree certificates
-NYSC certificate (this was unnecessary in my opinion)

These are the much I can remember for now.

Congratulations. Did you pay any other money to the school aside the 250CAD acceptance fee?

Please gurus in the house, my son applied to Memorial University for Maritime Studies (Master) since January, until now, no response. He has written them, yet nothing. What is your advice.

You can write to the school of graduate studies if you have their email address, or contact the department you applied to via email.

I applied to Memorial University too, and I got my offer letter in March.

JMG12:
Yes, if they grant you the support you will need to add the offer letter to your document and also to your POF calculation

Alright. Thank you very much.

Hello everyone, good morning. I have been following this thread silently. Thank you to everyone that contribute one info and the other. It has been of great help. My question now is that

The school I applied to gave me financial support of 8k. Can I add this to sum-total for my PoF to the Canadian embassy?

I anticipate your response. Thank you.

Pekela:


Please do not reapply as long as you have a pending visa application with them it may lead to an automatic visa refusal for both applications. My 1 cent

But can one withdraw a pending application while applying for a new one?

mojisolani:


Go and ask him very well. You have been refused. Agents are devil in human skin. He received the mail for your refused application long time ago. Please before you apply again, let him give you all the information he filled with this application to avoid another wahala.

Alright. Thank you

mojisolani:




Closed means your application is done with. Either approved if you got a passport request or your application was refused case closed. You have been refused a visa.

Oh! But I haven't received any letter to that effect. The guy still says no email yet.

Ajebogirl:


Thank you for your response. I have tried doing that with my UCI and Application number but it wasn't going through.

Hello everyone. Thank you for all the information provided for me to track my application. Thankfully I got heads through and I was able to create a tracker. The tracker states the application status is closed. However, the background check is in progress while eligibility is completed.
I guess I will have to keep waiting.

orjohn24:


Firstly,Tell the agent to give you the login and password to your account then confirm the application status urself. And you can come back here to ask a question..so many of thoes agent are dishonest sometime a client is already banned due to fake doc and they will hide it .

Thank you for responding. I have asked him to no avail, he thinks I will sabotage his payment or something. He promised to send a screenshot of how the process is going. Still nothing. I feel 8 months is quite a long time.

Chisomwo:


You can create a tracker

Thank you for your response. I have tried doing that with my UCI and Application number but it wasn't going through.

Good day, all.

I have been on this platform since I applied for a Canada visit visa in June 2023 through an agent. I didn't really know much about the whole processing thing, hence why I used an agent at that time. Ever since I followed this platform, I have gained better insight Into the whole process.

My dilemma now is that, will it be possible to run a study application and a visit application concurrently? since I have not heard anything from IRCC since June. The agent I used kept saying my application was "in progress".

Is there also a way I can track my application myself or send a message to IRCC to expedite my application? At this point, I don't even mind whatever the final decision. I just want to hear something.

Thank you in anticipation.
