We should be mindful of the barrage of dossiers [/b]we submit for our study permit application. The more documents you submit is the more you give tbe [b]VOs Chance to further scrutinize your application. Just submit only the relevant documents needed to support your claim. Imagine an applicant claiming a strong home tie by submitting land and house documents also ignorantly submitted house rent receipts. If you truly own a house, why the house rent receipts?
Look, know matter the volume of docs you submit, the impression the visa officers have about Nigeria is that most of our docunents are fake. The onus is now on you to logically present your case to the VO to convince him/her that you are a bonafide student not an immigrant.

@Senatorkolade
i choose to reply your post to clarify some of your ideas, but its not my type of person.
i wish for a scenario where everyone that applies for a TRV gets it by presenting a logical case.
Let me infer that your post has some comments to my application, it may also not be, but I will make some clarity
for the bolded above, the VOs job are meant to scrutinize applications and thats what we pay for to give them a job.
What is relevant to you could not be relevant to me
Would you know if the rent receipts are meant to explain source of funds in my account statement? In my case, they were.
For those who choose to present fake documents, do you feel "SAD" if your application is rejected?. I am pretty sure you will be happy to blame only yourself.
On a lighter note, a colleague and I applied same with same application format, got medical call same day and updated passed a day interval, he got his approval 2 weeks after medical passed.
In my opinion,i felt my case file was forgotten until i sent CSE and emails, and a week after i got my approval.
My advice, what ever will make your application sell and is appropriate, please do.
I hope someday someone will find one useful item in my application.
I wish all TRV hopefuls a successful application. Amen

Hello house, greetings to you all

I got admission into University of Windsor, MEng Electrical & Computer Engineering for Winter 2018

Please, what necessary steps and documents preparation should I take next

Your advice and suggestions will be highly appreciated

Sir Justwise, Sir wealth360, Sir austinpee4, Sir tuzinde Sir osemhigo, Canadiannurse and everybody read post above please.

I feel it's inappropriate.
If you want someone to do your house chores, you should employ someone, if you want a companion, have a friend.
There are sites for posting rent ads not here.
Please.

McOsheBaba:


It is inappropriate to you but not to everyone. There are a ton of people who would be dying to get such opportunity.No everyone has a Silver Spoon in their mouth. The man is offering to indirectly pay about $250 for the house chore services. If you aren't interested, just ignore.

Don't be too quick to jump into conclusion.

Cscd1234:
It's not a man sir. It's a 63 year old woman.
Did you read where she wants a "companion" from the same man that would clean her house.
Glad Sir Justwise took it down.

McOsheBaba:


Ewo!!!! Companion! Hahaha! I didn't even know self. Lol! Na wa oh! Some women self! Thank you for the correction!

Hello gurus in the house,kindly lend your opinions and suggestion concerning my challenge.I have created an account and linked it but I kept seeing you have no messages stated below the table for over two weeks .But I tracked my app through vfs and the message said....your application is being processed.thank you.

Austinpee4:

What you keep seeing is exactly what it is. You do not have a new message nor an update of your application. Once there is one, it will definitely show on your account dashboard. The VFS tracking only shows you where your application is at a particular time.

Your 'MyCiC account update is where you should focus more on. That is where you will see real time update and messages about your application directly from IRCC.

Also some people believe that going for Masters or PhD is automatic ticket for their study permit. No, we have seen a refusal on Masters on this forum even with funding. It is not enough for you to go for a Master or PhD degree, you have to convince the VO how your proposed Masters degree will enhance your career, intellectual and entrepreneurial development. Since the VOs are aware about the unemployment situation in Nigeria where first class, Masters and even PhD holders find it difficult to get job, you need to convince the VO how your proposed course will make you a job creator when you return if you don't get the job. Even if you claim that you will return to your present work that have you an introduction letter, you will still need to show the value of the huge money you spend in Canada on your work. For example, Let us look at somebody going for "Boreal Ecosystem and Agricultural Science" at the Memorial University. It will be difficult to sell this course to the VO. Boreal Ecosystem cannot be found in Africa. It is found in subarctic region of the Northern Hemisphere which covers North Atlantic Canada and Europe. So, why do you want to study an ecosystem that is not in your continent?

I wish all TRV hopefuls a successful application. Amen

CanadianNurse:
I'm yet to see any flight for August that's below 400k... I'm planning on using Ethiopian airlines(head they are the best in Africa) and relatively cheap

Jejelaye01:


Try Egyptair, the fare is reasonable... mine was less than 350k to regina.

Hello House,

A quick shout out to all on this forum who help out with relevant and verified information.
My fellow TRV hopefuls, I'd advise that in addition to this forum, you follow CIC (now rebranded as IRCC) on Twitter. The value of hearing from the horse's mouth as well as being abreast of changes in the organisation cannot be stressed.

Their Twitter handle: @CitImmCanada

vinci500:
My application as at today is about 15,465,600 seconds old or 257,760 minutes or 4296 hours or 179 days or 25 weeks and 4 days whichever one you choose to call it . Meaning CIC have spent 49.04% of 2017 processing my app. I remember a friend asking me few weeks back 'how come you still manage to laugh'.

Well, one I thing I am confident of is that, one day all this is gonna be history when I am living my dreams in the beautiful city of Vancouver. I'm not gonna worry, I am just gonna enjoy my life and prepare for the best.

I can't deny i don't also have times that I am like 'what the heck is going on, why is this taking so damn long!' but I take a conscious effort to re-route my thinking and stay positive.

My advice, channel your energy into other productive things, while you hope for the best, don't spend all day opening & checking your CIC account. Worrying is a negative energy. No doubt the hardest part of Canada visa application process is the 'waiting period' especially for we Nigerians. But you just gotta be positive and trust God that everything would work out fine. Worrying won't change the outcome of your visa app, but I believe God can and will work it out in your favour.

Brace yourself house, I see avalanche of TRV approval coming.

Icandor:




Since you have not gotten a rejection mail, then be positive. A friend's processing time was close to 16weeks but after the wait, it was approved. Please be courageous. God does miracles even in last minutes.

CanadianNurse:
What you ask for is dependent on many factors

Airline
Time between when you book and when you are about to travel
Etc..... So maybe you should be more specific

I'll be in Winnipeg by next month God's willing

Cheers
