Processing time in Nigeria now ten weeks. If you haven’t still applied and you are resuming in September, you in trouble!

Hmmm. So what of guys that applied when it was 9weeks how will they now do the calculations or will the 10 weeks apply to all applications automatically,my 9 weeks will elapse on the 3rd of August.when will now be the best time to send them mail as regards medical call...

muizzzz:
@Biakwa,

I mean June 25th.

Then you have chances of re-applying,but if possible get your gcms note to know actually why they pick those exceptions against you.

I believe the guru in the house can help you with your SOP to convince the VO this time arround....

Over to you gurus

muizzzz:
Good Evening House,

My application was refused and passport pick up today

The reason for refusal are stated below:

1. I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay base on the purpose of your visit.

2. I am notsatisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay base on your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence

3. I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay base on your personal asset and financial status.


3.

Do not loose hope dear.
But first thing is to organise yourself and redirect.
I believe you were planning for September admission. It may be late to reapply for September instead you look towards January 2019..

jnyuwa02:


Yeah that is what happened to Josephine too after her medical request and passing, she grown frustrated of waiting and wrote them. I don’t remember her Monicker. They told her too it’s been finalized she should wait for VFS. It was approval.

Good evening,

This is 7th week and school is resuming 1st week of September,applied online 1st of June and after biometric nothing. Is it advisable to go and do medical looking at the time frame.
We were denied previous application and it did not take up to 3 to 4weeks although paper route then.
Please what do you advise

Aghatise:
Greeting my people. Application in week 9 ; wrote the consulate on Monday and got a direct feedback from Nairobi yesterday that my application has been finalized and should be hearing from VFS in the coming days. (Paper Route, Medical Passed - June 16) but there is no update on my portal when I linked my application ( still: eligibility review as well as background check processing since June . Any idea on what this could mean?

Did you do upfront medical or on request

Good evening gurus in the house.

I want to ask a question,is there any penalty if one checking his/her online application regularly like everyday?

blaqnony:


While I agree that this is close to the truth, we have people in this group that were denied even after 10 and 12 weeks.

@blaqnony

After 10 and 12 weeks? That will be very devastating

What happens

Good evening all,

Just being inquisitive, does anyone have an insight of what is happening to June applicants.
No much response from that month.

Just imagining.......

Ratawu:


Did he do upfront medical? If yes, congrats to him but if no, I am sorry, it is a refusal.

Ohhhoo just saw wasn't called for medicals

Hmmmmm
Just apply for your gcms note to see reasons

mimikoko:
good evening, my brother just got a mail that his passport is ready for pick up. He applied for student visa but he wasn't called for medicals. pls is medicals a pre-requisite for student visa approval?

I think that should be a success. Congratulations

Please when did you apply, kindly share your time line.

Jephehe:
Is this how it takes time background check, Eligibility after medical passed since July 6th?

Please dear when did you apply

Zaid123:
Dear NL
I need an advise I have been a silent reader on this thread for this year i applied for study permit in June though still awaiting their response but my GF too also apply but she was refused last week and we have ordered for gcms note and also write to Dalhousie University to issue her another letter for January. Please I need advise on the following

1 if my application is refused how will it feel to the VO if my GF is applying again and we apply as a couple with marriage certificate knowing fully well that I had already applied for study permit and was refused because I know they will issue a spousal work permit for me

2 looking at the time frame when she’ll apply again maybe by September is it advisable to apply as a couple won’t it show a bit of desperation


Please I need advise of my fellow NL

My dear all hope is not lost, but if I may say re-applying for September may be too late considering the standard processing time which is 9weeks.Also if you can also regularise all reason of denial.Differing to Jan may be my take.

Hope this makes sense

neverlosehope:
I will like to encourage readers with my abridged testimony. Please never lose hope regarding your dream.

My profile:

In 2013 after working in different Nigerian banks spanning over 10 years, I became frustrated and need a better life for my family. At close to 40 years old, I decided to leave my banking work and pursue Masters degree abroad. Yes, you are right, if you think that I am crazy because so many people thought I was then. However, as I said, I need a better life for my family.

Previously, I had an undergraduate degree in sciences from Nigeria with second class (2:2). In 2013, I applied to 4 universities in Canada and I was rejected in all the universities because of low GPA. A Program Administrator in one of the universities told not to waste my fund applying to universities because of my low GPA but I should focus on my job. I was depressed for a while but I decided to pick myself up and move ahead.

In 2014, I took both GRE and TOEFL and applied to 5 universities in USA. Again, I got rejection letter from all 5 universities. I was depressed but I picked myself up and moved ahead the second time. I applied to another set of 4 universities in USA and to the glory of God, I got accepted into all 4 universities. Fortunately and as God will have it, I got full tuition waiver and stipends in one of the universities. In 2015, my wife and I applied for F2 and F1 visa (US study visas) which was approved together by the grace of God. Please note, this is the same guy with low GPA and 9 rejection letter.

Fast forward to 2017, toward the end of my Masters program, I applied for PhD programs in both USA and Canada. Although, I had a few rejection letters from my PhD applicants but I got admitted into 4 top universities, 2 in USA and 2 in Canada. To crown this testimony, all the universities were funded with very generous stipends which are adequate to take care on my family living expenses.

Today June 15th 2018, both my wife open work permit and my study permit were approved after 3 weeks of application (since we are applying from US).

Lesson to learnt:

1) Never lose hope. Miracles do happens. Always believe.

2) Never let your past define your future. Your past is gone and you don't have control over it again, however, your future is still ahead and you can control it. Therefore, focus on what you can control.

3) Never let anything or anyone stop you from achieving your dream. Obstacles are part of life, nobody, low or bad GPA should not stop you . When you fall, please stand up, dust yourself, reload and move forward. Quitters never win and Winners never lose.

4) Never let age put a limit on your dream. I started my masters degree at the age of 40 years and 16 years after having my BSc degree. Now, I have master degree from a reputable university and should complete my PhD degree in next few years. You can always achieve your dream at any age if you are resilient and persistent.

5) Follow your dream no matter the challenges. Redirect your steps if one is not working and keep pushing forward.

6) Above all, HOLD ON TO GOD AND KEEP BELIEVING IN HIS AMAZING POWER, GRACE AND MERCY. His is a miracle working God and He will always come through for you.

I do hope that I am able to encourage myself with my abridged testimony.

Hmmmmm
Congratulations my brother, this is a big Testimony,, please all this rejection was it just school rejection or both VO rejection?
