Greetings to the house. Silent reader here. I'm slightly worried. Applied via Paper route around Oct 10...Linked to online exactly a month later. No correspondence so far. Do the VOs prioritize applications from Universities over Colleges? Are there people here who have applied since October too? It'll be nice to know if I'm alone in this.

NB- I and a friend applied together (Lambton College and Conestoga College)... We have not gotten any feedback since we submitted.

Meanwhile congratulations to those who got their TRV approved and have been contributors here. This thread is quite helpful.

Thanks.

How do I tackle this now. Please help. I clearly stated she had no on to take care of her in my letter of explanation.

C.c. @justwise please can you give me the contact of anyone who can assist me or who has gone through such

Your wife can apply for the spousal open work permit which will be subject to your student status in canada. It still falls under the temporary resident visa but has advantages of an open work permit where she doesn't need to be offered a job when applying and can work anywhere she choose to. It also will last for the duration of your status as a student. so in a nutshell, She'll be given a spousal open work permit which is quite different from the temporary work permit or visitor visa.

Hello Everyone,
I have been a silent observer here since June, 2016 when my first visa application was 12weeks and counting. I was eventually refused august 19th (applied since march) reasons were level of education and current employment status , like others that applied for a PGD program. It was frustrating and exhausting. At first I didn't want to reapply because I didn't know where to start from and how to convince the visa officers. My best option will be going for a masters degree, but at the level of my career that's not what I want at the moment. So I contacted my school is Canada and they requested for the CAIPS note. It came back after 28days and their reasons were with my level of education ( BnSC Nursing) and the fact that I'm currently employed they don't see any reason I should be going for a post graduate diploma programme so therefore they don't think I'm a genuine student that would return after studies. When I got this all hope was lost. Getting a master degree was the only way out I said to myself. Then school offered to be my agent if I want to reapply and gave some tips like stressing how getting further degree is not what's next in my career, how international exposure in clinical and medical field will help get a more satisfying job in Nigeria. I took my time and composed another letter of explanation( my first letter of explanation wasn't well detailed) . I poured my heart out and explained my short and long term goals and how the diploma program will really help to achieve them. I was encouraged by friends and family to give it one more trial. I summoned all the courage, picked myself up and gave it my all one more time. I got letter of introduction and study leave permit from where I'm working and most importantly I basically committed everything into God's hand because it's a miracle I really needed. I worked on my faith and I did an upfront medicals( wasn't called for medicals in my first application)
I got bank statement( my dad is the sponsor) and sponsor's letter.
On October 28th I submitted through paper route and I prayed and hoped for a miracle. I set my mind on 2months for a miracle to happen.
To the glory of God the miracle worker I tracked my application on the 1st of December and I saw your passport has been dispatched from accra to VFS on 30/11/2016. I didn't believe it at first, I had to collect a colleagues phone to check again and I saw the same thing. I was scared, at the same time thanking God for fast response. I didn't know what the decision was but I just held on to my faith that it has been approved.
I haven't collected my package from lagos as I type this. But I know God that has started this good thing will finish it.
I'm typing this long story to encourage someone, we can always give it one more trial, search within your heart and ask yourself is this what is really next for me? Can I go ahead with another program? Does my choice tally with previous education background ? For me the diploma program is what I really needed now and opting for another degree won't really matter without the level of experience I want to acquire first. It's really important to compose a letter of explanation to explain why you are going for the program and how it wil help your career in Nigeria.
Then take it to the Lord in prayers, let him take control and direct your path. The waiting period is not easy. I decided not to check Naira land or any other forum people discuss their visa ordeals because as much as it helps to gather information it also increases my anxiety level. ( don't get it wrong, I got very good informations here that helped when I was reapplying)
All thanks be to God. I got my package today and it has been approved within the space of a month. I do serve a living God.
I hope I have encouraged someone to hold on to their goals/ dreams no matter how many times they have been disappointed or let down. The God that has done mine can do yours too.
If you don't think this is a miracle I don't know how else to convince you.
Do your part, pray and give it all to God.
I wish all the people waiting on their TRV a swift and positive response. You too will share your testimony by the grace of God
