Mandoy:

I only wanted to know what's up with my application. The note that came with it was the normal 'Dear sir/ma, Due to significant and unforseen increases in the volume of temporary resident applications we receive. we are currently outside regular processing time. we continue to process applications as quickly as possible in order they were received' The tin just weak me.

hmm! you mean u got this msg above when you requested for ur gcms?

CanadianNurse:
gcms note no be only after refusal you can order ....I can even decide to order my own now if I get reason to order it

Okay bro, clear & understood, thanks for the clarification.

GREGORIAN:
very wise move...if youve waited for more than normal processing time, u could request ur note, requesting for ur note is not only wen u get a refused visa app, gcms note cud also state the status of ur app

Alright, well assimilated, thought it was a wrong move, thanks for the explanation.

What's the fate of HND holders in Canada

Hello guruz please my application has exceeded the normal processing time and my school has withdrawn my admission but God is able as i am try to apply for another school for UG program for next year. But i have been trying to request for my GCMS NOTE but each time I tried click on continue where I had filled my UCI and application number it's says The format of the client identification number is invalid. Must be one of the following formats: ####-#### or ##-####-####. And I confirmed digit number was correct. I need your suggestions people's?

So my question is.. what are the opportunities and benefits a first class degree holder can get when the time comes for processing visa and studying Masters in Canada..


Pls help me out as this will also help boost my morale in the need to attain this degree and also need the info for early preparation.


Thanks a billion for your concern

As a first class graduate, there are a myriad of scholarships available to international students from Canada's universities. With the right fine tuning writing a compelling statement of intent and research proposal, there are many universities in Canada waiting to swing wide open their gates for you. As for the visa application, the 800 pound gorilla in the room, it's a leveler. Everyone has to meet the same requirements of financial and home ties. I have seen some first class, fully funded graduates rejected for a visa. But if you continue to stay and keep abreast to this forum, I am pretty sure you will learn fast when it comes to the visa application time, how to make the odds work in your favor. Like what to say to the VO in your statement of explanation, how to assemble a winning portfolio in general.

Good talk bro,
How does one tackle travel history when fully funded by a canadian uni. It bothers me when a friend of mine visa was rejected after securing $20,000cad at University of saskatchewan.

That is scary stuff. I will advice he defer to September 2018 and refire with a powerfully written SOE that talks about his vision for Nigeria. He should talk about any volunteer work he has done in the past or projects he has undertaken in Nigeria that show that this vision he describes for Nigeria are not empty aspirations. Simply no other way than this to defeat travel history since he has never travelled before and shown that he returned to Nigeria.

That means your request letter came ages ago.....report a technical issue showing when you got the request to do biometrics and also attach the letter showing it has expired.

Hello,

I submitted my app(online) on 28 Sept and did my bio-metrics on 3rd October, however myCIC account still displays: "We need your fingerprints to process your application. Check your messages below for details." and "Your Action Is Required"

Is that normal?

Congrats in arrears! When they ask for another letter of admission, it's most likely an approval that is imminent. Send them the prior medicals you did, perhaps they didn't get it before. Perhaps yours was an upfront medicals, I know there has been a few hiccups in the past with the hospital sending it to CIC, but that has always been accepted and corrected when the applicant or the hospital resends the result to CIC informing them that one has been sent before. Then tarry no longer in convening a new LOA from the institution and emailing it to CIC. Best!

Travel history only? Travel history is usually ticked alongside other reasons such as purpose of visit, family ties and co. Travel history is rarely a stand-alone reason for rejection. Many people have gotten Canada study permit as first time travelers.

Thank you, yes i submitted upfront previously. Will do as you said and send them the prior one

What is your application status saying ? Has a final decision been made without review of Eligibility ?

A majority of rejections for travel history are coupled with purpose of visit and ties in home country. But that is not to say travel history cannot be a stand alone reason for rejection. That said, I doubt that someone fully funded will have purpose of visit ticked against him/her. In this case, given every case is different, travel history stand alone as a reason for rejection, is possible. Yes many have gotten approved without ever having travelled, but they most likely cleared the hurdle of convincing the VO that they would return to their homelands. Maybe this particular fully funded candidate grew over confident and neglected to do that.

Lol@bolded

I understand your point. I used the purpose of visit, family ties and co as examples. I'm not saying he was refused based on those reasons. I know it is possible for someone to be rejected solely because of "travel history" but it is an uncommon situation which is the reason why I used the word "rarely".
