You are welcome bros. I don't think a US F1 visa can get in the way of a Canada TRV, unless the VO is paranoid. Ideally I would recommend explaining in the SOP why the US F1 visa wasn't used, this could even work in your favor to show you are not a desperate applicant. Graviton2: |

its usually a red flag having a visa and not using it. i had a uk visa early this yr with no intentions of travelling with it, but i eventually had no choice when i was advised that it would be a red flag if i dnt use it as canadian VOs might think i didnt have money to travel and even getting a uk visa in the future would be difficult except i write to the high commissioner giving reasons for not using it. However u can sort this out with an explicit SOP Graviton2: |

Oga! Even right from Frankfurt airport sef, there's already racism, speaking from experience. We're not saying everybody is racist but there are some countries that are generally more racist than others. Eg Russia and Germany. There's racism everywhere but it's is very prominent in some places My opinion: if he's so particular about racism, especially as a minor, he should consider other countries instead thesoj: |
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 8 by Eke40seven(m): 5:24pm On Aug 13, 2015 |
TheBae:I was mentioned on this thread and so followed the conversation. The above statement about Germany being a racist country is a big fat lie. Even in the east where racism is feared, which is quite understandable given their history of communism, Russian rule, absence of many foreigners and being under the shadows of the former west Germany, things can be exaggerated. If you look for racism, of course you will find. Many Germans may stare hard at you (they do that to other whites that seem not to look like them, no harm meant), they might be shy and cold and not willing to chitchat with strangers (even their own people) but labelling the country racist is one big accusation and gross generalisation. Well let the rumour stay that way though, the influx of international student is getting so high (Only second to the US and UK) and the competition for admission getting so fierce because of the free tuition, increase in English taught programmes in some of the best unis in the world and tempting post study benefits. Let the few who know better reap the benefits. 8 Likes |

Russia is in a completely different league than Germany when it comes to racism. I would be scared of walking at night alone in Russia. Western and southern Germany are ok to me sha. Western Germany is like the rest of western Europe, whereas eastern Germany is like Russia or some parts of eastern Europe. The cold war and world war II and the old East Germany explain it all.

Re: Travelling To Canada Part 8 by TheBae: 5:49pm On Aug 13, 2015 |
Calm yo titties. I didn't say Germany is a "racist country" well, take it or leave it, Germany is known to be generally more racist than some other countries + I'm sure you read the part where I said it was my opinion and based on my own experience, not yours. Even the United Nations recently condemned their racist activities and the German govt admitted that they aren't doing enough to suppress racism. You can read up on that Okay, so you're saying, there is no racism in Germany but they only stare hard at you and not be friendly because you don't look like them. Like those aren't part of racism. Did I say they will stab people because of their race? Anyway, from the bolded, the 17yr old boy who is particular about racism can decide whether he wants to live there or not. If it's about free tuition, there are other countries in Europe that offer that. Cheers Eke40seven: 1 Like |

Inkblood: TACKLING FAMILY TIES Have you thought of adding *letter of recommendation from church *photograph of you and your bae having a nice time, with a writing ' me and my girlfriend' at the back *make an original print out! With the heading 'Your area developement assosiation ' with the topic of building a gate at the community and development of the street List the attendees of the event! Make yourself the project manger overseeing the project Make sure u have an assistant project manager And list out other positions Treasurer Members Accountant Other *make another print out of 'your community development association' acknowledging to your absence and approving it cause it would be more gain to the community if you have international knowledege *gather some men, and kids, stay on the street n take a picture and write "community development project 2012" * stand beside electric poles and do the same thing Ps: make sure all document are signed and dated by any 1 TAVKILING TRAVEL HISTORY Just that you're applying soon, I would have advised you sacrifice 5k, goto cotonue, get stamped at the border Include it in your sop,that you went to oversee a project and you realized you needed more international exposure as the project management world is evolving by the minute Make sure you tell em to backdate the stamp and spacen the entry and departure (that's if you'll be goin) Also they are boys that do the whole thing for a fee! You'll get stamped entry and departure of 4 countries (ghana, togo, cote dvoir, benin) You can always ask around All that just to tackle TRAVEL HISTORY Just my idea of showing ties to your home country and development to your environments. As well as relation to your program of study Your finances are ok! Just Don't jampack your SOP with too much details! It would only show desperacy More ideas to come soon ![]() 2 Likes |

Ok here's a summary: Both applications submitted to VFS Accra because she lives/works in a neighboring African country (she's a naija citizen). Program: MSc School: Carleton University FIRST APPLICATION Submitted: June 10 (upfront medicals) Refused June 29 (insufficient funds) SECOND APPLICATION (deferred admission to Jan 2016) Submitted: July 28 (same upfront medicals) Approved August 12 For the second application, we bombarded them with like 100 pages of financial documents and then created a one-page Letter of Clarification (different from the SOP) that concisely described the new evidence. In this letter we had a section titled "Reasons for Prior Refusal" and another titled "Substantive Changes in this Application" and then enumerated the changes in this application. In the first app, we had used a printout of the sponsor's online bank statement, and my sis also left blank the box for "room and board" in her Study Permit form. She had added the "room and board" amount and put it the "Other" category. I now believe that it is important to fill the CIC forms as perfectly as possible, to not cause any doubt. For the second app, we transferred one year's worth of tuition and living expenses to her university student account at Carleton, and attached the receipt. Her sponsor (brother) lives in the US, so this time the sponsorship letter/affidavit were notarized, and original as well as bank-certified bank statements were also sent. We also included a spreadsheet titled "Available Funds vs Annual Expenses" detailing every estimated expense and every fund available. She included her personal SOA as well. Many thanks to @HayqinsbFX for his answers to my questions when I just joined this thread just a month and half ago (the spreadsheet thing was his idea). Many thanks to @standupguy and @ada4all whose gcms files gave initial insight into what the VOs might have been thinking in this "insufficient funds" case. I pray that your applications will get great results as well. By the way I am so surprised that applications submitted physically in Accra have a much faster processing time (two and half weeks average for both my sis's applications) than ones submitted in Lagos. This is nuts. FYI I will still be on this thread as I will be helping another sibling with Canada runs. I hope my sister getting her TRV doesn’t hurt his chances o. We go see. 14 Likes 1 Share |

what do you guys think about applying online and why is no one trying it? |
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 8 by thesoj: 6:54pm On Aug 13, 2015 |
I don't think so bros. My sister was told they would only allow her to apply from Accra because she has a Temporary Resident Card (her job got it for her a while ago) from the neighboring country she lives in.My younger brother lives in Lagos and I would like him to apply from Accra too, but so far I don't think it is possible. hayqinsbFX: |
