yeah...

galala123:
I believe there are exceptions to the rule. For example, if your program of study is 2 years, and your passport validity is 1.5 years, you cannot ordinarily renew your passport unless it is remaining 6 months or less to expire. Under such circumstances, I think I have heard that they may give you 1.5 years visa per the validity of your passport. If your passport validity is less than 6 months, the rule as stated by you may be applied since you can renew your passport and save everyone stress in the near future.

For USA visit visa, the visa validity can go beyond the passport validity. Upon expiry, you can travel with the old expired passport with valid visa as well as the renewed passport.

you are welcome boss...its even written on the passport request letter read about the passport requirements to be sure...

Doyenrey:


I appreciate it big man

Diijah:


The refusal stamp is a thing though. My friend got it on her uk visa sometime back. This is my first time applying to Canada so I don’t know how it works

I think they have stopped refusal stamp since database engines gained popularity. I think at a time Nigerians had to protest because it was like a stigma. If you don't give me visa, please do not deface my passport in a manner that may affect the decision of another Country's VO adversely. As numerous visa's in passport could affect the thinking of a VO positively, several refusal stamps could also tempt a VO to decide an application negatively.

I didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing

Yes bro. I saw that too but there's nothing I can do about it, the officer at VFS said I can't renew it yet, so I should submit that

lol..i can imagine how you feel....this VFS people can make you think in all directions and you may even develop high bp....calm down though...if u read the letter very well u will see a "decision has been made"... dont think they need a passport to stamp a refusal which is not any of us here portion..start preparing..congratulations!

yeah...always good to get advice directly from the bodies in charge!...

APRIL/MAY/JUNE/JULY/AUGUST APPLICANTS WHO HAVE SHARED THEIR PROFILES
Note: this is not a list of fall/winter applicants. It is strictly a list study permit applicants who have responded to and given
their profiles to help establish a timeline as to how CIC operates. Based on the analysis of the data, it is holding true
that biometrics is often requested within 24 hrs to 2 days after transmission for online applicants; review of eligibility is started within 8-10 weeks, medical call between 10-12 weeks and decision dished out within 12-14 weeks. Paper Application it seems is significantly faster than online application. As usual, there are outliers to this average. We shall get madame @Goinforward when she gets back online, to come and pray and reach out to the throne of grace on behalf of all applicants. For all the applicants listed below who were so generous in sharing their profiles, we say a special thank you and more grace. It shall surely end in praise!!

Congratulations! CIC don't stamp refusals on passport. I once applied via paper route and I was refused. My passport came back clean.

Good day house

Go and quickly submit ur passport so they can quickly give u ur Study Visa. And when u quickly get ur Visa, quickly come back to this thread and share the Testimony and also qucikly share ur application profile. i.e What Route, documents submitted, PGD or Masters, date of submission, date of Eligibility review, date of Passport request and finally date ur TRV was issued. Please do not quickly run away from this thread after u have gotten ur TRV. Congrats in advance.

Good day people!

How can one order for Gmcs notes and how much does it cost?

Mr hotcake, its obvious u didnt bother to read up this thread from the 1st page cos this question has been asked 1001 times. So kindly read from the beginning of this thread. Ur answer actually lies in the 1st page. Please dont comma ask questions like dis next time. The question u are permitted to ask here are questions that havnt been answered before on this thread or the ones u didnt get a convincing answer. What we wanna be seeing on this thread are approval testimonies and not a question that google can easily give u the details. Peace

hotcakept2:
Good day people!

This is the reason why peeps refuse to read up the thread for already answered questions. Its answers like this that make newbies too lazy to research and get their answers from previous pages or even google, thats y they can just come here drop a question and be expecting answer asap.. Lets all give answers to complicated questions and not primary school questions like d one u just answered. @Justwise already put up how to order for ur GCMS note in the 1st page, if the person that asked that question isnt too lazy to read, he would have gotten his answer from the 1st page. Lets not give room for things like this please. Peace

@makano. Please don't respond. I beg you in the name of God. I think we have better things to bother us. Jump and pass. Thank you bro.
