You should contact them and make adequate enquiry

Naijaforeigner:


WOW, I can submit my passport in Nigeria. I will confirm from VFS London, thanks boss.

MeinKampf:

I actually held myself back from going all out on the guy. I haven't met a person with so much delight in dishing out falsehood as the guy and yet he wants people to believe his "in-house" jargons

DONT OVERWORK YOURSELF WITH TJIS YOUR OUTBURST. I NOT ASKING YOU OR ANYBODY TO TAKE WHAT I AM POSTING. I CAN GIVE AN ADVICE, IT IS YOUR CHOICE TO BELIEVE IT OR NOT. YOU ARE NOT UNDER ANY OBLIGATION TO TAKE OR USE A WORD FROM ME. ON YOUR ARROGANT CALL THAT O SHOULD BE BANNED, WELL, I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE.

geotherm:
On a 2nd thought I thought the rule states that you should ensure you have at least 6 months validity in the country of your residence before applying especially if you are not a Permanent Resident or citizen of such country? Or has your application process passed 6 months?

There is a law like that? Never knew. I submitted last month.

Nobody wants misguided advices here. Be real and read all assertions you've been making slowly,then you'll know how much misinformation you have given. Look for other group of people that'll be willing to crown you a Canadian visa"in-house" informant without challenging your penchant for falsehood

Sorry I checked their website thoroughly I didn't see such law, so i think you are good.

Can somebody post a link to where the CIC says that they will not issue visa beyond the expiration of the passport. I need the link urgently to renew my wife's passport.

Airline liaison officer dey come Nairaland to gather information about his office. Old Liar!

Ratawu:


Nobody knows it all here. We are just here to share notes and ideas to help ourselves. WHAT WOULD I GAIN FROM GIVING WRONG INFORMATION?
I contributed to the question based on my personal experience at the VFS and that was my teacher. Truly, I completed IMM5707 from home and when it reached my turn to submit around 5pm since 07:45am, the VFS guy told me it was the wrong form and I had to spend another money to come the next day and filled the IMM 5645 with additional N3000 at their business centre. And when we argue it here, the concesus way forward was that because of the inconsistency of the VFS guy, people should go with the two forms and give them the one they want in which o totally concurred with.
THEN WHY LAMBASTING ME AS IF I WAS YOUR KID. Don't behave as if you know it all and we need to respect each other.
Thank you

Airline liason officer submitted his application via the same paper route he lambasted. His application was obviously denied and he probably thought that the Nairobi VO's are spirits! You work with the deputy high commissioner for High comission of Canada, Lagos, Nigeria but VFS taught you how to properly fill out forms? Smh!

geotherm:

Yeah, someone just told me there is no law like that except for visitors. Thanks bro.

Jimmychuks2018:
I honestly do not like to involve myself into arguments like this, but I must point this out. In my GCMS note, the only documents that the visa officer mentioned that he reviewed were, my wife,s school enrollment, our bank statements, her Canada lease agreement, letter from host personal pysician, copy of marriage certificate, children's birth certificates, no apparent criminality (copy of Nigeria police report). Medical not done yet.
What ever this means! These were not the only documents I submitted in vfs! Then I asked myself, what happened to all the documents that I submitted?
I think those were the only documents that they scanned to the visa officer that was in charge of my paper application in Shanghai! At the end of the day, my visa was refused citing several reasons, including lump sum, which I explained and even added documents to back it up, unfortunately, the visa officer did not see that. God bless you as you draw your conclusion.

VFS scan documents to a visa office in shanghai?
Na wa o bros! Think no further, nothing like that happened.

It is certainly not possible for VFS to do anything close to that let alone decide which visa office to send submitted documents to.
Meanwhile, the GCMS is actually not meant to have in a listed form all you submitted. It is simply for the VO to document his/her conclusion on an application for reference. An officer most likely is compelled to input key information especially from the application form, medical, eligibility, admissibility, procedure taken as well as correspondence with the applicant. Every other details will be at the discretion of the officer. He/she can decided to give a full detail or not( as frequently seen in GCMS note here) to make a point or two. In your case, the entire details of your supporting documents wasn't given and this doesn't mean the officer did not review all you submitted. Your application went through the same process and handling others did as i remember you towed the SOWP way.

Regards.

BayourC:
. @awake18 I was delayed for the second time yesterday and for same reason as yours. I doubt I’m trying this again

@BayourC, I'm really sorry your application got refused. I'm sure you will be asking yourself if these people that got their VISAs on the first or second attempt did anything special. They did nothing special my brother, they only presented a good application and also had grace. Most importantly, it was their time. We all have different times and never should you compare yourself to others. It really hurts, I was there more than twice. So cry if you want to but allow yourself to heal. Take a break from nairaland if need be and relax. Review the documents you submitted for the previous applications and check them against why your application was refused. I'm sure you don't want to miss out on this great place because Canada is a great place to be. Victorious people don't just quit, they keep striving till they win. A lot of people were denied twice, thrice etc. I know of someone that was denied six times. He never gave up. He is currently in Canada and will be getting his PR after getting his masters.

A lot of people have is easy in life while some others have to really work hard to achieve greatness. But a wise man ones said that "Ease is a greater threat to progress than Hardship". If you fall down two times, get up the third time and if you fall again, get up the fourth time. Keep moving till you get there. One question you should ask yourself is where do you want to be in the next 5 to10 years? Do you think you can achieve your dreams in Nigeria? if your answer is yes, my brother your a free to move on but if the answer is no, you have to try again.

If you have a BSC and good work experience please avoid PGD/PGC, it's a red flag. Try get a masters admission

Wish you the very best. This is for everyone that have been denial TRV, it will surely end in praise.

House, Is it possible to do pdg in Canadian schools? especially in environmental science

The decision to keep trying up to six times or more is the decision of an individual and that individual’s alone to make. Nobody can recommend people keep trying things that have not worked out for them. Canada is not for everyone. Rather, I will advice that people learn to discern God’s will for their lives, whether it is in Canada or Nigeria. Some people’s success is in Nigeria, some people’s success is in Canada. The quicker we are to discern this, the better we are. Going to Canada does not guaranty success.

You mentioned Canada as a great place to live. Have you lived in Canada to know this for sure? It’s the same notion people who have never lived in America often draw in saying America is a great place to live. Well I tell you what. These places are hard places to live. There is a lot of demand placed on work and personal achievement which often comes at the detriment of personal relationship and one’s health. Long after the battle for a visa we are stressing about here and having high bp is over, you will find that their are greater and more fiercer battles that await you on the other side for those who make it. I have seen a lot of people from Africa in these two places (lived in many parts of the USA and a state walking distance to Canada) who are today roaming the streets aimlessly. Some on drugs and others for no fault of their own, fallen on hard times. I had a high school mate who came only to meet his premature death. Everyone must ask himself and listen to his gut instincts and pray for God’s will and know when to call it quits with this Canadian thing if it’s not working. Nigeria too can be a great place for some people. The line can fall in pleasant places for some people in Nigeria too, even more than Canada. Know and seek God’s will for your life, not trying for Canada visa open-endedly to ad-infinitum. Endless rejections might be God’s way of saying its not your place or I have a better future for you in Nigeria. There are virtues in not quiting I agree. There are virtues too in knowing when to call it quits if it does not work out.

As you plan for Canada or elsewhere, plan for Nigeria too. Some people make the mistake of trying and trying for Canada and not seeking God’s will for them whether it is in Nigeria and when they don’t get into Canada, they are no good to Nigeria because they put all their resources and time in the wrong place.

Best wishes.

Please my poeple how can someone request for GCMS notes .?

Naijaforeigner:


Boss, my BP can never go high just that my case is peculiar and I am praying to God for a decision before Monday next week. My UK student visa expires on the 21st. When I get my Canada application approved, I still need to submit my passport to VFS and get it back before 21st (it could take about a week to get passport stamped. I need to leave uk on or before 21st or I would be banned from UK.

Another alternative is to renew my UK visa via masters route (already have masters admission in UK) but I have to pay a non refundable deposit of £3,500 for school fees + £150 (iHS fees) + application fee. if I take this route, UKVI would be with my passport for 15 days or I apply for priority (5 days, cost about £500 upwards) or same day visa processing (premium service) which costs about £700. If I decide to take this route and my Canada application gets approved, I would have given UK almost 2M free.

So the question on my mind all week has been , should I pack my load from UK with faith believing I will get the Canada visa or I renew my UK visa with almost 2M?

Even if I apply faith, pack my load and leave UK, I still need to submit my passport when my Canada application is approved. How will I send my passport over from Nigeria to UK and then to VFS and then collect it back (I have to physically collect it or authorise someone to do this)? Canada school resumes sept 4th.

I wish I can take these guys to court, processing time says 1 week from UK, now I am stuck. It is 5 weeks already.

I beleive you should be able to get another UK visa in Nigeria having shown that you travelled and kept to the terms of your visa by departing when it lapsed. So if you don’t get your Canada visa by the stipulated date, just come back to Nigeria. You can appoint a representative to go to VFS UK and drop your passport and pick it up for you at any time (send it to them by courier). Just fill this form:
https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/pdf/kits/forms/imm5476e.pdf

Praying Canada approves you, but if they don’t, apply for a UK visa and continue your academic career. You should have no trouble getting another visa.

Winners don't quit and quitters never win does not apply in all situations. The individual should know when to keep on fighting and when its time to just move on. You have spoken very well. Enough said.

Thank you, coming back to the UK is very easy for me. However, what I am scared of is the money I have now for studies in UK, what if I don't have access to it when next I want to come back to UK (God forbid I don't get the Canada visa)? It costs nothing less than 9M to school in UK (fees + maintenance funds). Mum is the one sponsoring and she cannot guarantee the availability of funds if I decide to come back. Thats my biggest fear, if not, I would have packed my bags right now and be on my way to Naija.

I will make a decision on what to do by next week Tuesday unfailingly. Fingers crossed I would have gotten a response from CIC. Thanks for your advice and the link.

I believe you would get your response soonest bro but pls make your contingencies right.
It is well by God’s grace

Please do we have any June "Online Applicant" who has been called for Medicals yet? Kindly let me know and when did you apply.

Also, for those of us waiting for the medical mail, if it comes later than August 25th we may not be able to meet up with the resumption date because I noticed Q-Life Family Clinic is fully booked till September 7th 2018 while "the children practice" next appointment date was 16th of August as at yesterday.

MY TWO CENTS

If you are planning to resume with your school this Fall, kindly take the advice of several people here and go for your medicals BECAUSE when children Practice is fully booked you might need to travel out of Lagos for your medicals to avoid the inconveniences.

It will end in praise for us all...

It's better to wait for Medical mail than this method you are advising, go to children practice very early without booking they will allow do your medicals. Avoid unnecessary pressure, avoid HBP.

please how long does it take children practice to send result and why does some persons under go extra test and,if there was a problem with a person's test result will the doctors inform you before sending the result to cic?

orobs93:

Someone on this trend got medical pass within 3days and approval on the 7th day after medicals, you undergo extra test when you have complication like someone on this trend had to do extra test because his BP was extremely high, they only tell you the purpose for the test result and the result will be sent to cic.

When does your Uk school resume..I mean the intending master program and how long does it take to get Uk study visa from Nigeria ??

Naijaforeigner:


Thanks bro.

Wheyme:
When does your Uk school resume..I mean the intending master program and how long does it take to get Uk study visa from Nigeria ??

September 3 (but have at least grace of extra 3 weeks for enrolment).

UK visa processing from Nigeria has different types. you have normal processing times, priority (5 working days) and premium (1 day). Doing it from Nigeria, I need to do an interview.

Here in UK, no interview.

Good morning
I applied via paper route on July 27th and linked my application online. As at yesterday, my profile status was showing submitted but I just logged in now as it’s showing application/profile updated. I checked to see if there’s any changes but I’m not sure if there’s any change. Any idea what it means?
