Hello everyone, i really need advise from the gurus in d house.
I applied via online since June 10, 2018 for a student study permit. This month makes it a year since my application. My visa app is been processed at London office and I've sent countless mails to London VO and d MP of Scarborough in Ontario, (dts whr my skol is located) yet still no intervention nor reply from d VO.
Now, am considering withdrawing my application by mid June 2019 only if i still don't get any news from cic or London visa office so i can reapply again.
Please house, i need guidance as to wat to do abt this whole situation, cos this thing is really a lot to deal with. Mind u, i already ordered n received a GCSM note.
While applying 4d study permit, i didn't do any upfront medicals. Someone pls help a brother out with suggestions n how to go abt this

hello all, I am not new . I have being following and reading this trend since last year . Okay so the issue is I did my visa application May 5 and I have done my boi metrics. My app is paper route , I even got a message about my tracking . But when I try to track my application through the vfs global tracking is showing no record found . So I dunno if that is an issue or because my application is still new. Please gurus in the house I sincerely need your input on this . Thank you .

It is a default message. Happens to most people. You don't need panicky about it. Just link your paper application online and you'll be able to track the progress on your application.

With no offence but You lied!

Hello guys, should I just write N/A or is there a better way to answer this:
6) Do you have academic prerequisites or work experience relevant to this program? If so, please list and provide evidence.

hi austacus , how did I lie please ?

Good evening house.
I need help reviewing my SOP, it’s three pages and I’ve tried reducing it but it feels like vital information will be left out if it is reduced any further. Please helpppppp

You can apply to colleges for a graduate certificate program or Advanced diploma. That should be your best option.

I cannot help you with the review, I'm sure someone else will do that. I just wanted to say that if the information on the SOP is important, don't whittle it down. Leave it that way. You need all the help you can get to convince the visa officer who would be going through your application. It 4 pages of SOP will get you that application, leave it at 4 pages.

Always remember to go straight to the point and be as concise as possible, no rigmarole.

Good luck.

Why indicate Not Applicable? Don't you have any relevant work experience in your chosen field of study?

Assuming there is a strong correlation b/w your previous studies and intended and current job role, the below would be the best way to answer the question;

The academic prerequisite I have is a Bachelor of Science degree in.......... I have also worked in a ............ company (THE NAME OF COMPANY) that would benefit from my knowledge acquired after completing my MSc program. Afterwards, include your job reference letter and academic transcript to support your claims.

I hope this helps.

Go for PGD rather than an undergraduate degree. By the way who is this solid sponsor? I hope he is related to you? Be properly guided that the Canadian visa officer's aren't moved a bit by your fat bank statements and bulky financial documents.

Log out from your online MyCIC account by so doing, make sure you're using a Google chrome or Firefox brower. Sometimes the error might be as a result of a system upgrade.

Hi Sally! Congrats!

I also submitted my passport and it’s been more than 10 working days since it’s been there with no tangible info. Can you please let me know how long yours took to pick up? It’s going on the 3rd week for me now. Submitted May 3rd, been to VFS several times and nothing!

Your response is much appreciated.

This isn't amusing.... 12 months, no medical request, no update and still counting?, I respect your tenacity to have waited this long. When applicants who applied as at that time are already studying in Canada and have completed their first academic calendar and proceeding to the 2nd year. My candid advice is that you should request for a withdrawal of your application as soon as you can. Your temporary resident application has stayed longer than ever expected. If a decision has already been made on your application, you won't be able to carry out the withdrawal until the final decision has been communicated to you. On the contrary, if there is no decision yet, your application fees will be fully refunded to the debit card where the money was originally generated. Some applicants got approved after sending a withdrawal request to the embassy while others ended up as a refusal. Trust me you have nothing to loose at this point.



PUNCH THE WITHDRAWAL BUTTON

It appears the delay is real as I know of an applicant who submitted his passport 2 weeks ago and haven't received it back. Nonetheless, i advised the applicant to send a CSE to Kenya, Nairobi immigration office where the visa was processed, so they could expedite the transmission of his passport. I hope he will receive his passport next week. I would also suggest you do so as well.

PS: I can assist you with a sample of the mail you can send to them to hasten up the process.

Sounds like a plan!

I thought the VISAs were printed in Lagos and not sent to Kenya? I applied online and got an original passport request May 1st. I submitted my passport on the 3rd of May and since then nothing. Mine wasn’t a student VISA though. It was for a TRV but I’m just searching all the forums to see if I’m the only person experiencing this delay.

The delay is currently everywhere as temporary resident visas from Nigeria are handled and transmitted to Kenya for visa processing. Send a CSE to them through this email -
nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca and also the Lagos immigration office via this email lagos.immigration@international.gc.ca

Alexkrueger:
When writing SOP after a refusal, do I start writing why I chose Canada, the school and the course..... or just explain only the points from the refusal reasons

Cross all T's and dot all i's. First and foremost, start by explaining extensively and persuasively the generic reasons that was stated on your refusal letter followed by some other reasons that were highlighted by the visa in his hidden file (CAIPS file). Once you're done, send a copy of the letter to a knowledgeable individual on this thread to vet and make correction where applicable before reapplying.

Hi guys. Pls I need assistance. I submitted an application since May 5th?up till today no biometric request. Status is submitted. Pls help am confused

Is this your second application? If yes, you don't need to submit your fingerprint to the visa application centre because your biometrics is valid until a decade time. On the other hand, assuming it's your first time of applying for a temporary resident visa to Canada, you're opt to pay for your biometrics fees $85 prior to the submission of your application. Normally, a biometrics instruction letter (BIL) drops within 24-48hrs after application submission. At this time if the above scenarios doesn't apply to you. Your sporting chance is to raise a CSE to the processing visa office Kenya to assist you with this issue nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca

Best of luck and keep the house posted.

Do you know anyone who has done this? And if you do, how long after they sent the email did they receive their passport.

Also, my mum got her VISA in March in 4 days. Does this mean it went to Kenya and back in 4 days?
