Good Morning Guys,

Please i am having issues with space on the online portal, the column for passport data page still has additional space i can use. can i include additional documents to this columns like proof of asset

No, learn to follow instructions so you do not provoke the ire of a visa officer. They expect orderly arrangement of documents so they can know where to find what.

@jnyuwa02

Cool, When did you do yours?

jnyuwa02:


You can be done with submission at Abuja, biometrics and everything collected in only a few hours. Mine took two hours. There are no lines, just come and do your submission and you will be out in no time. Thank God for Abuja. If things all over Nigeria worked like Abuja, we would have a country we can all be proud of.

Good day everyone, please I have a Perculiar issue my sponsor which is my uncle say a letter from his bank is Enough to suffice for his bank statements and his id card will prove where he works , I intend getting his tax clearance for last year to add it as he hasn’t filled for this year , will this be sufficient for me ? And passport page

N.b : I am admitted will full funding

Have been keeping this to myself since but I can't continue keeping

I applied for a student visa(online) on 17th February, 2018

Did my biometrics on 18th February, 2018

Till now no update on my application online

I'm really disturbed ohh, is that how Canadian student visa does delay?

September 2017 and I know various people who file there, the latest only two weeks ago and it took her only two hours to do everything and submit.

Please house, is there a reason why United Kingdom or Great Britain is not included in the list of countries of Birth on the IMM1294E form?. Please its pretty urgent.

Is there no option for England and other nations that make up Great Britain?

Hard copy of bank statement showing transactions is what is required, a letter from bank is optional and not as important. You need affidavit of support from him that he would be willing to contribute to miscellaneous expenses, including tickets.

jnyuwa02:


I am glad you took my advice and contacted your school. Where are those critics who said I didn’t school in Nigeria and have no idea? Where are those who said it will take 2-3 years? At a point I just stopped arguing and let them feel like they won. You don’t have to win every argument I have learnt as my rule in life, you can just agree to disagree. It shouldn’t be about outwitting anyone in an argument, it’s about helping I am here.

Well done bro, no guts no glory!! You have done the right thing now and it will avoid any lingering questions in the mind of the VO. If you paid all two years tuition expenses, it’s a good move. Make sure you transfer 10k Dollars into your dormicilaiary account and the tender of SOA business account will fly. Best wishes to you and feel free to ask any questions here you have anytime.

Thanks alot bro

Don’t be dismayed, have faith. Don’t be anxious. You cannot force them to make a decision. Just be patient and hopeful, if it’s gone past the processing time and you know the visa office acting on your application, shoot them an email.

I have other requirements the SOA is the only missing thing, this letter coming from a US bank , will it hold ?

charlyduru:

Yes it will hold, but endeavour to show bank statement with transaction details. What is he hiding that he doesn’t want to give you his bank statements? Or does he not trust you? Can he transfer the money he purportedly wants to give you for your education, into you own personal domiciliary account?

On the form

Funds available for my stay?

My expenses in Canada will be paid by?-- Should i fill SPONSOR which are my SIBLINGS or SIBLINGS

He is a distant uncle and am just using him for appearance, my parents are the ones footing my bills.

Thanks for the encouragement.
When I applied for the visa, the processing time then was 6weeks.

Moreover, i don't even know where my student visa is being processed since I applied online

What prevents you from using your parent’s bank statement since they are the ones supporting you. I know some people abroad are wary of divulging their bank statements and account into to Nigeria for obvious reasons. That is probably why he doesn’t want to give you. But since you have full funding just use the minimal amount in your parent’s bank. It should sail through with a good SOP for why you think you will return to Nigeria.

Took me not more than 15mins yesterday

@jnyuwa02

Took me just 15min...Abuja is cool

Qupp:

How i am going to link my bsc in mcb i nigeria to bsc in computer science in canada. Am a programmer.

How long have you been a programmer? if it has been long and you have proof(showing all the jobs or some important ones), then it will fly.

That is wassup!!

jnyuwa02:


If the names are spelt wrongly from the name on your passport, you should go and rectify the names on your certificate and NYSC. Otherwise, go and do your passport in the name on your certificate and NYSC. You dont want CIC thinking you burrowed someone’s certificate with almost similar names like yours.

Cc: Tecnokid, an affidavit stating there was a mistake on your certs will do. His first and last names were well spelt, just the omission of "h" in the middle name so that won't be a problem. AN AFFIDAVIT WILL BE ENOUGH!

If your application has Passed the normal processing time and you have sent a mail to them with no effect. Take a back door by ordering your GCMS note. They will attend to it sharp sharp

Embassy does recognise a letter from Canadian and USA banks

Uchboggy:
Please gurus, quick question, is it a rule or is it stated expressly that the statement of account should be 6months? Whatt if it’s 3months ? 6month is way too bulky for online route.

Also is it possible to use zip file to compress the documents and upload the zip file so as to accommodate many documents?

Cc @austinpee4 , frankrobbn1

Put all your documents in a single Word document, save it as a pdf file. Then to compress, use smallpdf.com
Works like magic.

Ratawu:

Please where did you get your information? Many have presented foreign bank statements and letters and scaled through. In fact I will assert that they have more credibility weight given to them than Nigerian banks.

Bros, everything is not fight. But be careful to read properly so you don't misinterpret. It was clearly stated that he should confirm the possibility of having it changed while also considering getting a sworn affidavit. This was not supposed to be a case of na my point win or na my point lose.

Just a matter of sharing opinions, both opinions could have been correct. At the end of the day, nobody is fully correct, it's a matter of what you have seen work at some point. Abi you na VO?!

Easy bro...

Cheers

Everything is not fight. I believe he asked me the question directly and I told him how to address the root of the problem and others came and said an affidavit is what will work. I have seen affidavits work for name change and other seeming inconsequential stuff, but never seen it used when the document upon which the very document admission is granted and now

IMM1294EEasy bro...

Cheers

Dude this tire me ooh, enough of this! Everything is not fight. I believe he asked me the question directly to me and I told him how to address the root of the problem and others came and said an affidavit is what will work. I have seen affidavits work for name change and other seeming inconsequential documents, but not when the very document admission is granted is errorneous. I thought it was risky. Any perspective could be right? But they came out clearly and said I was wrong. Anyways, I have taken it in good strides and the asker has chosen what to do best and I applaud him for it! Let’s move to new things please.

But what is your online dashboard showing under background check and eligibility review?

sontelme:


It's online route can you clarify what you mean by it will not work at all, how do I den track my application. Please revert

Only sharing from my experience... I applied in April 13th and did my Biometrics the next week at Lagos VFS but cannot track my application till moment. I guess it works for only those who did paper application.

jnyuwa02:


September 2017 and I know various people who file there, the latest only two weeks ago and it took her only two hours to do everything and submit.

Please this is my first time of writing. Still trying to wrap my head around how this works.

If I happen to do my biometrics at Abuja vfs, can I go to Lagos vfs to submit my passport when the time comes or it has to be Abuja.

Ratawu:

Thanks I will do that. But the days it takes before one gets the GCMS note is discouraging
