I'm presently in canada, a student of UofA.
Please kindly write me back via email if interested.


Wishing all the TRV hopefuls good news this week and this month.

Somersaults into the thread

University of Alberta all the way... I just started my thesis based application and it looks super exciting.

Any prospective Alberta student here?

At last, finally met someone going to my Skl
Resuming winter term nd my visa is ready.. We can hook up

mathy001:
Hey house,

Just to be sure. It seems the Police Character Certificate is not compulsory, as many people haven't been indicating it in their list of submitted items. Am I wrong to think so?

Not compulsory, dou I did it Bt didn't submit due to minimum space(online application)

galala123:


Reality... 6 refusals over 7 years!

I'm still finding it difficult to believe myself.

Wow
Wow
Wow
Congratulations bro, u av a strong spirit
Kip it up, api for u man

Good day Nairalanders,

PLEASE ANYONE to assist with my SOP review

Winter is almost near, go for paper route due to time

Naijaforeigner:
Been long you saw me guys. It has been one big experience for me. But I thank God he did not let enemies laugh over me.

I got passport request on 15/08/18 back in London, got back to Nigeria with all my loads on 18/08/18 cos my Uk visa was about to expire and then submitted my passport at Lagos Canada VFS office on 20/08/18 to get it stamped. Then the long wait started.


I had to defer my admission and school said they would not give me a new LOA until they see my stamped passport. I started panicking cos my old LOA expired while waiting.

You guys don’t want to even imagine what was going through my mind? Imagine telling everyone they have requested for your passport ( I already announced on Nairaland and even told about 10 close friends and family out of excitement) and then what should normally take 7-10 days is taking forever.

Questions I started asking myself; Who did I tell and was not happy for me? Are they doing additional checks after asking for my passport? God have i done something bad in Lagos that wants to prevent my approval?

P.S: I waited 5 weeks and 3 days to get my passport request letter back then in London and then I waited another 5 weeks and 3 days in Lagos to get my visa stamped.

Passport was submitted 20/08/18. I got my correspondence letter on 27/09/18 and counter foil was stamped 26/09/18.

please this is my personal opinion.

(1) until you get your passport stamped and collect it physically, don’t announce it. I repeat do not announce it. Even after you have gotten it, continue in prayers cos POE still Dey there.

God is the greatest. God is the greatest. God is the greatest.

You guys will see more of me here now.

Lol, so funny
Congrats bro

Dan90s:



Have you collected your passport now?

Nope

naija2:
It is frustrating seriously. Last message I ever received frm cic was on the third of July for my biometrics which I have done but no confirmation email was sent. Ever since then, nothing and it is annoying not knowing what is happening.

I understand, it myt be annoying.
My biometrics av not been uploaded till now, was sent medical request, it was passed, dey av requested for my passport, still d biometrics av not been uploaded
Jest keep trusting God

CuteCeo:


I'm looking at the cost. As I only have about 7m ( considering this amount, is it feasible?)

Also, most masters i saw are thesis based, and i heard it's hard to get reply.
I saw a masters programme i want in University of Manitoba ( Environment and Geography), but I need to contact a supervisor(which i heard is hard).

Don't av d mindset Dat anytin is hard
No harm in trial
Write a strong letter of intent to d supervisors, talk about ur academic success, d research works u did, if u were given awards or u represented ur department for any outside competitions. Talk Abt ur proposed course, y wish to further ur education in Canada (let it b in line with ur course of study), y u chose d supervisor and D reason u chose thesis based. Attach ur CV, transcript, awards or any pix where u represented ur skl, degree cert.
Try writing to supervisor at least 3 schools
U can contact @junwa, he got full funding in USASK

I hope dis helps

Nice one, Im in support of operation no agent Bt d fact remains Dat not all are good at surfing d internet, some people nature of work won't allow such Bt even if u are using agent, let der b a written agreement ,stating wat his service is all abt and be conversant with all dis processing, don't let anyone bobo u. A friend of mine fell into agent trap. After collecting 200k from her, he stated dat she would b d one to pay for visa fees, medicals, write her S. O. P,L.O.E. his work is to bring all d doc and make submission online. Imagine submission online only for 200k, wat is d big deal abt submission.
So b wise

She even got her admission herself. She only went to d agent for visa processing

jandj:
To all my fellow brethrens looking for a legit agent, I will advise u read through the thread and ask questions. Agents are on the thread. Some of Dem disguise as applicant and some of them come out boldly to say they are agents.

An agent don't have a say on your visa approval. They follow the thread and do the normal thing.

My one advice is for you to share all docs u are using to apply before proceeding. People will advice u on what next to do

Private consultation is $100/hour with assurance of politically correct responses. Open consultation is free at the risk of being attacked by tensed up applicants.

I can be ur financial secretary sir

makano:
1. Leave ur House
2. If you are driving, drive straight to Lekki, Ikate roundabout. Get down from ur Car and enter VFS and take a ticket number, sit down and wait for ur number to be announced. When it is announced, go straight to the counter called against ur number and Submit.

And if you are not driving, Take a bus going to Obalende, after which u take a bus going to Lekki, Ikate round about and follow the procedures above. Meanwhile make sure you get an appointment, before leaving ur house, so u wont go there twice or thrice.

I have taken pain to explain, If any newbie ask questions like this next time, I will personally flog you. Advice to the newbies, Read all through this thread and u will see that the answers to ur supposed Questions are already there. Peace

Bro, Na Abuja I dey

Ormohlawlah:
Hello,I'm confused. Admission decision hasn't been made yet and I plan to go in January. Is it still possible for me to go in January or I should wait till spring in may

Wen did u apply to D skl?
In d process of waiting, u can make all ur docs ready, so u can apply immediately after receiving admission letter

reichwolf:
Well guys I started my journey to go to Canada in June 2017. After my first denial in November 2017 I was really down and frustrated. Nevertheless I didn’t give up. After securing admission into a more convincing school I reapplied for my TRV in July. Well even though I’ve had to defer my admission to January, I have now secured my TRV.
My point is never give up. I’ve been denied UK student visa twice and Canadian student visa once. But I never gave up. God is always in control.

Wow
Congrats

Wit the drama going on here I think I need to contact zeeworld to start filming an episode... from disappearing acts after being delayed, to prayer and fasting warriors, to VO's in the house, to theory and hypothesis formulation, to server down/ up monitors, to check again at noon proponents (yours truly), to peeps closely marking IRCC on twitter, facebook, instagram, website,etc, to folks doing unpaid work to keep their minds away from IRCC thought and retain their sanity, to those that fell sick after receiving medical call because of tension between medical request date and medical exam date of availability, to how hearts skip a beat whenever the phone beeps (that may be the mail I've been waiting for oh!), to CSE warriors, SOP combatants (As everybody's SOP is becoming perfect, LOE has entered and by the time ALL LOE's meet minimum requirement, another document will become essential), to Peeps blowing up when "some kind of " questions are asked repeatedly like "I can't log in, do I call fire service? to folks asking about GCMS if delayed and reminding people that they are leaving them behind in a hole when finally approved. I remember one fellow who was drinking lacasera when his "letter of delay" was received on phone... He said the taste of the drink changed immediately in his mouth. This is one hell of a nollywood story in various episodes (part 14 now).... It will be great if people come back like 5 years after travelling to give their Canada experience and tell the house if they will still desperately seek this path seeing what they know now, with hindsight.

"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages". William Shakespeare

The story goes on...

Lol u really made me laugh out in public... Don't worry it will get to a stage na Vo's go dey rush us (Nigerians)

canadabyfire:
hahahahhahahahhaah......................so hilarious..................@galala123, ur profile name is as comic as your write up..........keep up the english rehearsals.............it truly calms tension.................meanwhile my clients application is 14weeks and they are already knocking on my door for refund of 75% remuneration already chopped for service rendered.................i can write their episode for the Nairaland Travel to Canada Zee World filming oooh.......................

Lolz, u really made me laugh out loud in public... Don't worry, it will get to a stage na Vo's go dey rush us(Nigerians)

makano:
Please check well, they would have updated ur biometrics, Cos I do not think they would have sent you a Medical request without them having a record of ur fingerprints and all. And you dont have to be worried bro, You are almosst close to Approval since you were sent a Medical request and you passed. Not that you did upfront medicals, cos an applcation that has an Upfront medicals passed can still be refused. So since you passed a reuested Medical from CIC, then you should get a message requesting for your passport soon. Congrats in advance

I'm a lady
Thanks for d words of encouragement

galala123:


When did you do medicals and when was it updated as passed?

I can understand what you are going through. When you receive any mail, your heart skips a beat and weekends are extra loong!

Done on 30th of Aug and updated as passed on Sept 5th
