Well done to everyone on this platform offering one form of assistance or another, its really kind of you guys, God bless each and every one of you.
I will try and be brief about my story, I applied early october last year, after securing an admission at Fanshawe College(Really one of the best colleges in Canada if not the best). I applied with an account balance of 5mil for my personal account(now red after paying fees, smiles), den 9 mil for sponsors account(Parents). I applied with an SOP, Police Certificate, Filled the online form etc.
Towards early nov, I got a letter to go do biometrics, did that Immediately and started waiting for medical request, this came mid december, Around december 18th, I went to IOM Lagos and had to beg to do the medicals, because they were telling me to come back in feb cos thats when there was space for it. I did the medicals not up to 5 days latter after much pleading.
Then the mistake I made was travelling for christmas, my PPR came on the 31st of December 2018 when I was still flexing new year eve somewhere in the south eastern part of Nigeria, I travelled back to Lag on the 4th of January 2019, which was a friday. Went on monday 7th January and submitted my passport, mind you school resumed the same day. I got my passport on Friday and while I got it, I went to book a flight for sunday 13th January, But my agent called me and told me school said no international students should come again cos school had already resumed. kai, I was devastated. She said I could travel in April for the may session. I immediately reapplied for another course becos the initial one i applied which started in January session runs for Jan and September only.
So I got the second admission but my agent failed to tell me that there was a deadline for payment being march 1st, march 1st came and passed, the school moved me off the program to waitlist, meaning my spot has been taken, another devastation. what that technically meant was that I wont be travelling in april again meanwhile my visa was already running out. I had to move to plan C, Applying for a diploma course.
I applied for the diploma course, was given admission, awesome.
So I had already booked my flight for April 24th in February, Lufthansa airways.
I left Nigeria on 24th April, 10pm flight to Frankfurt Germany, Stayed in Frankfurt for over 6 hours, Joined another flight to Toronto, Landed in Toronto at exactly 5.15 pm on thursday.
Now for those coming, there arent much to expect at the airport, just fill your declaration card(a card that will tell the authorities at a glance what you are bringing into the country). you get your study permit and probably sin number if you aint in a hurry.
So I hurriedly left after getting my study permit in other not to miss the Fanshawe bus that was waiting. I was taking to Knights Inn motel, A popular one on Dundas street for two free nights which you are entitled to if you apply to Fanshawe College.

Ok, Its becoming too long, I will continue with things to do immediately you arrive and others latter.

This write up is not complete if I dont make another shout out to @Naijaforeigner, really you have been a life saver out here. If you coming to Fanshawe College, kindly holla at him@naijaforeigner if you need any info or assistance with anything. Thank you, thank you, thank you again @naijaforeigner. With him, we sure got our backs as international students(Nigerians).

Ok, God deserve all the praise so far. To as many that are so expectant of TRV, Place your hand on your chest and say He(God) never fails.

Thanks for your time. Next post in a bit. One love

It may be long, but it sure contains some valuable lessons international students could learn about the great Fanshawe College

Serious prayers!
It's actually emotionally stressful.
And my application is now 10 weeks old ���...

oro awon cic people yi fe adura gan o I'm so sorry guys, I can imagine what you're going through . Please follow this advice. I wish you guys the best. Please let's know the outcome. Honestly, everything cic is exhausting

Since i joined this platform, i've been seeing posts about upfront medicals. How can one go about it in my case? My application was done via online and it was in June 10, 2018 while biometrics was on June 12 2018. After waiting till February 2019, i decided to apply for GCSM note, with this i was able to understand that my application which was submitted June 10 2018, arrived London VO November 2018, till now no update have been received from CIC despite countless mails, webforms and several attempts to contact them, all they keep saying is 'application in progress'.
I've been able to push my PGD admission from May to summer (September). In this case of mine, please what would u suggest i do or how do i go about it. I don't have London VO phone number, would have also tried reaching them. I just need guidance regarding this case, thanks.

Gurus in the house, please is it everyone that submitted application that will be called to go for medical examination?

ghabrhiel10:
Medical mail just dropped, thank God. Pls gurus I need help with the phone numbers of any of the two Medical Centers where I can go to get it done

boss wen did u submit ur application..mine is 4weeks now NO medical mail yet...im just worried

dejilale:
Gurus in the house, please is it everyone that submitted application that will be called to go for medical examination?

No. You only get called when your application gets to that stage. A lot of applicants unfortunately dont get to that stage. And even when you get called for medical it is still not a guarantee but offers hope of an approval in most cases.

dejilale:
Gurus in the house, please is it everyone that submitted application that will be called to go for medical examination?

No. Not everyone.

Although CIC suggests you do upfront (as this supposedly speeds up your application) medical request, they would request you to do a medical once your background check is completed (or there about)...

My observations though.... You can chill for the comments of others before taking actions...

Still in progress, fall 2019

You can't bro, if you haven't done biometrics before, u will have to pay for It together with your application fee. Sorry

This is a a matter of ratio and proportion. It is not the balance that matters. Factors like how young your siblings are, are they established, currently pursuing university education, etc. Also the type of account provided (Company, savings, joint etc)
