PLENTY OF PRAYERS

After my medical request, I got a mail stating that the naira account seems fraudulent and requested for “my bank statement ticket ID and password”. I won’t lie to you this rattled me despite using a genuine statement of account. I generated the requested using my internet banking and sent to them as requested.

After so much waiting and praying it finally came.
I really want to use this opportunity to thank one of the most selfless human beings I know @frankrobbn1. Right from SOP review till date you’ve been most helpful. You’re blessed and always will be.
Then @awuuga I met you in this forum, I’m so happy our paths crossed, your a friend turned brother. What excites me the most is that we are going to the same school and the same course. Also, you being a term ahead of me gives me someone to look up to for guidance in school.

To all helping out applicants here, you guys are awesome. More power.

My advice to newbies, try and read the threads. It might be tiring and nobody expects you to read all the pages but read enough.

Wow, congrats bro, I am very happy for you. OMG, I love the rain of approvals this week, God is awesome and he is doing awesome wonders in the life of his people.

Congrats Jaybaby.

Long Approval Alert!

I just want to thank everyone that contributed to my approval. @wealth360, I will never forget you for all your advice and guidance.

I was refused Visitor's visa three(3) times and it all came as a rude shock because I believed I had a tight application.

Yay... I am happy for you. Congrats

Congratulations on your new journey to earn a PhD

Schonebaby:
Thanks to all my beautiful people. I see you all. All our labour will not go unrewarded.
I really desired to go with my family cos they mean the world to me. So contrary to popular opinion that one cannot get visas for family while still in Nigeria, I decided to apply. I started preparing for the application immediately I submitted mine. First, we valued our property (about 12 million), we also booked upfront medicals. Fortunately my visa came before the date given.

So I got my study visa May 7th. And I used these documents from me:
My approval letter
My passport showing visa
My previous passport
My admission letter
Funding letter (showing I have over the required 10k cad for personal living expenses, apart from tuition)
Letter of invitation. I explained several subtopics *relationship history *why swop and visit visa for daughter (daughter is less than 2 years) *funding and budget * husband work expertise and designation *purpose of visit( to join mum for PhD)
I realised that unlike study permit application which is quite objective, sowp and family sponsorship application can be very subjective. ( I wrote the sop in a way that I appealed to the compassionate side of the VOs). I particularly capitalised on the fact that I don't want to leave my baby for 4 years + ,nor my husband.

Marriage documents:
Marriage certificate
Change of name
Newspaper publications

For my husband:
A letter of introduction introducing him and his relationship with me, his work designation ( he's an engineer). He talked a lot about his work achievements e.t.c since its a work permit application
Introduction letter from work
Appointment letter
Confirmation letter
Id card
Payslips

Hometie
Property receipts
Property document
Valuation
His Pension fund account. ( just about 1million plus)

Financial part
This was very tricky. After much deliberation. We decided to use what we have.
My husband had a million plus in his account. His father had earlier sent to him 1 million, 6 weeks before we applied. ( We explained it in our letters).
My mum gave us one of her fixed deposit monies (2 million). We included the fixed deposit certificate to show it has been fixed for 3 months and I stated in my letter the day it was terminated and sent to my account. It was sent just 2 days before I applied but I made sure I showed it has been fixed for a long time and thus, its available.
So basically our funds consisted entirely of 2 lump sums but it was explained with proof.
We included our parents ID cards , passport, sponsorship letter from them, and employment / retirement letter. We also included our birth certificatesto prove paternity.

Daughter:
Her birth certificate
Her immunization report
Little things like her church dedication certificate bearing our names.
We included photographs but vfs did not allow us to submit it. I later submitted it via webform.

We submitted May 14 exactly a week after I got my trv
May 23, medicals was passed
June 17 BVL came in for my husband
June 27 approval for them both.
My daughter was even given 5 years visa. More than my 4 years program.


I saw God's hand in this application. Honestly, I was so clueless. But, the Holy Spirit helped me every step of the way. Writing the letters, tackling the financial part e.t.c.
He made this possible.
I will like to answer questions more on the forum as suggested by Mods so everyone can learn instead of pms.
I return all glory to God o
My temporary lovestory with CIC has ended in praise

Please were can i go for up front medicals.

Congratulations dear, will need your help please

Try germany also, the biggest economy in Europe and 4th in the world , GDP per capital 48000 dollars, 2 years post study visa, very strong economy and many more

Saw this on twitter from a user who advises Nigerians on study-abroad courses.

"Europe is crowded with Americans, Australians and Canadians for free tuition or low tuition cost, healthcare and luxury of 28 countries trip. While majority of Nigerians want Canada by any means possible. Just one box � country to live in. Choices"

It is up to you though, but i will suggest you wait a while... you just submitted your application. So give it some time. If after about 4 weeks nothing, then you can go ahead to do upfront medicals.
With regards to speed up process, please know this today that CIC takes their sweet time... and even if you do medicals now, it will only be updated to pass. But that will not reduce the time the VO will put into your background check or eligibility review.

How long did it take to get an approval after BVL?

Razzo:
after medicals

i have submitted my application last week, but my dad only have 35m in his account and he pledged to give me 5m each year making 10m for the 2 years and i also have 8k funding from Mun each year for my masters program, but i have 6siblings, did you all think this financial status is strong.
i have been seeing people with huge SOA getting the visa, hope the money i have isnt too small.

Thanks alot, will act on this.

Mudicua:
I think @ralfudoh will be in the best position to help you on this. I only mentioned him cos he is one of the persons who recently got PPR and submitted passport at Abuja a few weeks ago in May. I will also suggest that you find out from the manager what the reference letter looks like. If he has a sample then he should show you.
Rather than fly down to Lagos and then find out the same thing is now applicable in Lagos, I would suggest you make enquiries first. Afterall I believe it is the same VFS Global.

For real Wow, thanks alot mehnnnn... Will go back there with it tomorrow and try to sort it out. I really appreciate.

They gave you a slip attached with stamped photocopy of your passport when you submitted your biometrics or paper application. The reference number the guy is asking for is in that slip. You take it along with the passport request letter.
