Mikymiko:
is the study leave letter compulsory?

Baba Justwise this one wey you get our time today halleluyah

A note verbal is quite an important document but does it really cure any defect in a study permit application?

Moreso, he doesnt even work with the government; he works with an organisation who processed the note verbal on his behalf. These VOs dont just attach much importance to all the documents submitted by applicants, They have guidelines for reviewing and processing study permit application. They select relevant ones and discountenance others. Dont get me wrong i am not saying a note verbal is irrelevant or unimportant but in this context it seems a bit farfetched.

How does a note verbal expedite his application? we all know that most times when we submit our study permit applications they remain on queue for several weeks before the VOs even review the documents submitted. Until your application is opened, a VO would not know if you added a note verbal or not. Although some applications are attended to randomly. My point is, unless and until your application is opened a VO would ordinarily NOT know which document you submitted be it note verbal. Unless the Note Verbal is not included in his application package but sent directly to cic. More particularly so, he is not an official of the govt, he is not a diplomat, he is not going on an official assignment for the govt; He is simply furthering his studies; The vo may not see any cogent reason why his application should be expedited. Or is he one of those DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDER peeps .
Well i have not read the note verbal so i wouldnt know what was stated in it. All am just saying is that it would be advisable for him to first tie loose ends in his application. a note verbal is an addendum.

CIC has expressly stated the ways and means in which you can expedite your application. Its on their webiste.

I HAVE NOT USED A NOTE VERBAL BEFORE NEITHER HAVE I SEEN ANY ONE USED IT BEFORE SO I DONT KNOW TO WHAT EXTENT THESE VOs ATTACH IMPORTANCE TO IT. BUT SINCE YOU ARE CONVINCED THAT THE VO WILL ATTACH IMPORTANCE TO IT THEN BY ALL MEANS SUBMIT IT.
ACTUALLY IT DOESNT HURT YOUR APPLICATION. I WISH SEUNSKILLS BEST OF LUCK

I WOULD LOVE IF EGBON JUSTWISE EDUCATES ME FURTHER ON THIS SUBJECT...............WE LEARN EVERYDAY

I made the same mistake oooo, although i now have a valid US visa but was refused before i was later approved. I pray this doesnt affect me oooo.

yemdogg:


Boss pls quickly send a mail to Accra CIC...... Informing them of the omission. It is better you tell them before they find out on their own. So they won't delay you on the ground of misrepresentation of facts.

Did you apply online? If so you can send a case enquiry to CIC. Cos it may not be Accra CIC that will be attending to your application. From my observations online route are treated in any canadian visa office.

omooba2015:

YES... because, u claim u are working, and the organization need to grant u permission to study.. Abi u don retire from d company..

Hello House,

My application was delayed today After Medical Passed status. CIC requested Medical result.

Please note that only the grounds that are checked off apply to the the refusal of your application.

2) have sufficient and available financial resources, without working in Canada, to pay the costs of transporting yourself and any family members who are accompanying you to and from Canada.

You have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at the end of your stay. In reaching this decision, I considered several factors, including:

I was not and still not working for the govt when i first used note verbal but i was living with a family member who is a serving diplomat at that time. My first visa application to US was refused for lack of home tie and the Secretary forgot to add the note verbal to my package we only realized this after leaving the embassy.

It was included in my second application to another embassy and it was successful within 4days. This application was for academic purposes.

All my applications were made outside Nigeria while on posting.

If note verbal is used correctly it does help the application You don't get note verbal from an agent or a friend who works for govt agency or parastatal.

I'm saying this with the believe that seunkills works for an organization who has the right to issue such document.

michV:
@yemdogg goodmorning! As our application says OPEN on the STATUS check,does it mean a VO has opened it to view the documents submitted while on cue pending processing?

thesoj:
Sorry about your delay. Was it clear and obvious to the VO how you arrived at the "Funds Available"? Everything about your finances in the next app must be "idiot-proof" so the VO doesn't have to think too much for things to make sense.

Anything that requires the VO to do mental math can be frustrating and annoying to him/her.

thesoj:
Ouch, sorry. But you can still get lucky.

Hello House, Do you advise i send a case specific enquiry to inform CIC about this refusal and attach a copy of my valid us visa.

Application is still open, do you think this wont work against me?

its crazy, in my case i only indicated canada visa refusal , my US refusal was a long time tho, 6 yrs ago. always thought a certain country has no business with what other countries did. when i got schengen visa i never told them about any US refusal,. i guess US and Canada do the border control shit together. pffff. thank goodness for nairaland tho'. information is priceless, this thing made me loose sleep, but i am taking it as it is and making plan b real quick, wish i found out about this the first week of submittion.

Skiiiwalker:

i hope so, just wish i no

Skiiiwalker post=47926412:

i hope so, just wish i noticed earlier, i just mailed the accra office as someone suggested, but my application is 10 weeks already.

ticed earlier, i just mailed the accra office as someone suggested, but my application is 10 weeks already.

Arcayo:

At times they write rubbish on GCMS note which makes one think if the VO is high or want want bribe, the main reasons are always at the beginning others are just to make the statement long.
From experience I read Architecture and working in a construction company, and the VO said my Educational background and work history are inconsistent with proposed study which is construction management, can a sane person write that.
But the main reason was at the beginning "PA appear to be engaged in proposed study in Canada" as a Project Manager

Skiiiwalker:

oh yea ? i can send more info. after submission ? i did paper route. wow let me do that real quick. bl

Is it mandatory for the person make full tuition payment before re-firing or he/she can pay per first part of tuition and include upgraded SOA
Kindly assist

olaniyisal,

Our applications are virtually the same and we both got delayed. There's a trend here.
omooba2015 is advising a change of sponsor. I think that should apply to you as well.

omooba2015,

What if someone is using an individual sponsor that doesn't have so much in their personal account except for their corporate account? I have the option of using my boss or my cousin.

michV:
its not all about paying tuition fees but having a credible sponsorship in the VO's eye. if your LOA states payment of tuition as a condition to meet the unconditional offer,then pay or if it specified tuition payment as a condition to secure your seat before a specific deadline, then pay. atimes you might pay a full duration tuition fees but if the sponsor/sponshorship is not credibe(using company sponsorship)to the VO's eyes,i don't see it excelling,but even if the sponsor is credible and have paid ur full tuition fee for ur duration,ensure that there is sufficient funds for ur MAINTEANCE/LIVING EXPENSES /TRANSPOATATION without working in canada in ur sponsor's account/transfered to yours if not you could be faulted in this aspect for insufficiency.
make i face duty..later!

I'm sorry but you are wrong on this..i mean very wrong. Note verbal will do his application a great deal.
