I guess you should do an email if it has exceeded the average processing time. maka11: |

You need a visa to go through the US. There are no direct flights from Nigeria to Canada, I don't know about Accra. Why not try the European(Klm,Lufthansa,Airfrance etc) or Eastern Airlines(Etihad,Qatar etc) . Most of them(Asian airlines) don't go through America enroute to the Canada. However, when using any airline, be careful of having 2 stops in Europe (for example Lagos to London to Dublin to Canada); if you are passing through 2 European countries enroute anywhere you will need a visa for the second coutry. bigtt76: 1 Like |

Frank, are u serious with this information u just put down here? Like seriosuly, If u remember vividly when I applied last year July 2018, I had to do another Bio-metrics, and that was ma 2nd application. Meaning I had done bio metrics in 2016 in ma 1st application.. And my Bio-metrics was a Topic on this thread.. I was still a novice then, and I asked the House if it was necessary to do another Biometrics since I had done in 2016 and you and Jerome(Cant really remember his name, he was one of the Gurus then) advised I go to VFS to go confirm if I needed to do another Bio-metrics or not and asked for ma feedback when am done.. Behold I had to do another biometrics because my bio-metrics of 2016 wasn't valid for 10 years(That was what I was told by the VFS Official that attended to me).. Am surprised u saying this tho.. This 10 years Biometrics valididty started July last year, and that was when I applied for ma application.. So a 2016 Bio-metrics cant be valid for 10 years cos the 10 years validity has not been implemented then... Frank I can take u back to the post am talking about... Peace Frankrobbn1: |

Ok, noted... So that means as at July 2018 the VFS Officials present didn't know their Job as regards Biomtrics, cos I actually asked them if I still needed to do another Bio-metrics despite doing in 2016.. And I was told I needed to do another one... Never knew of the bolded information... Frankrobbn1 ignore ma previous post.. Peace NothingDoMe: |

[quote author=Dera12345 post=79521126]ORIGINAL PASSPORT REQUEST!!! (May applicant) Experience is truly the best teacher, and my Canadian Sucess story made me believe the saying “EVERY DISAPPOINTMENT IS A BLESSING”!!! I know very well my story will motivate or strengthen some people never to give up in whatever that interests them, pursue it desperately like your life depends on it!! Yes I mean it. Before I proceed, below is my timeline. Online Application (2nd Application) Submitted May 9th (10:57pm) Upfront medicals passed on 11th June Correspondence letter (today by 10:12am) Original passport request (today by 10:32am) This experience is my most difficult experience in life so far, I have always thought I can have anything I want in life but this Canada journey taught me that “Human beings can make any plans they want, but it’s God that decides their Sucess or failure”. I don’t even know where to begin from, but only God, Myself and @frankrobbn1 can tell my tragedy-comedy story. So exactly a year today 20th June 2018, I submitted a paper route application and It was refused within 4weeks based on family ties, purpose of visit , personal assets and financial assets. Meanwhile, I have a Bsc in Biochemistry with overall CGPA 4.15 and last two year CGPA 4.71 , going for 2year diploma, paid tution fee $8,880cad. when I received my refusal letter, I cried that very day like never before and till date my first refusal date 18th July,2018 still remains the worst day of my life, and the agent my parents used was just after money. After crying, knowing how bad i needed to leave this country I woke from my comfort zone and began my personal research, this was how I came across this wonderful forum and started reading up! Through this wonderful platform I met an angel in human form, a motivator, my soulmate and my support system @frankrobbn1, may God bless you richly for me. Frank took his time to explain the errors in my application starting from advising me to secure a masters admission and that is nearly impossible to convince a VO on why diploma and not masters considering my high Gp, and secondly that my application is as empty as anything, I didn’t even submit my family’s information, no assets declared, no employment evidence and so on. So I began my admission hunt and the devil started his work. Almost all the schools offering my course/ or related course requires a supervisor , and you know how difficult securing a supervisor can be. Some schools I contacted will tell me pump and play that I must identify a supervisor before applying while some will tell me to apply that they will assign me a supervisor once am admitted! I fell to their tricks and lost my application fee, I also tried contacting supervisors all kept turning me down. I kept sending countless mails to different supervisors in different universities all to no avail, some would always come up late with their negative mails of not having space in their lab while some will totally ignore me. I got feed up and I decided to stop sending mails but to call them on phone at least to get a straight forward response rather than waiting for their response that takes weeks and at the end must be negative. I made it as one of my daily activities to call at least 10 supervisors daily, and I did this for months!!! Even the ones that later accepted to supervise me though without funding just all of a sudden will deny even knowing me after I have submitted my application hoping I have secured a supervisor. In general, I applied to 6 different universities in a space of 8months and all turned me down. I kept asking myself who did I offend? who is after my progress? Through this same wonderful forum I met a very nice fellow @agronat. Immediately he posted about him securing a masters admission with funding, i pm him to put me through, and that was how I realized the vital points/information missing out in my application and the reasons behind my refusals regardless of my high scores. And today am glad that my finally attempt landed me a full fulled scholarship worth $38,076CAD at BROCK UNIVERSITY ONTARIO , 2 years MSc in Biotechnology. Big thanks to @frankrobbn1 for recommending Brock University to me. I nearly craze that day (April 18th, 2019)!!! NB: the scholarship covers my tution and living expenses with extra left, I was also guaranteed a graduate assistantship position. Isn’t God great? This was when I realized that God was preparing something greater for me. Fast forward to my visa application, guru @frankrobbn1 finished work.. I personally wrote my SOP and LOE, but when frank was done reviewing it I couldn’t recognize my LOE and SOP .. lol, he reconstructed it and was even using the VO’s terms to address every issue. He sold me well and also left the Change for the Visa officer to keep. I can’t thank you enough.., even after I submitted my visa application he took me to a church where I was given 4 days dry fasting and prayers (something I have never done in my life). I’m not the churchious type but this journey brought me closer to God and will forever remain grateful. I will be traveling to lagos next week to submit my passport and at the same time celebrate this wonderful journey that ended well. Seriously my sleep tonight will be very special after one year of dreaming of CANADA �� Lol, and to @justwise thanks for making this platform possible. Below are the list of documents I submitted with my application: Father sponsor. All CIC FORMS MY PASSPORT DATA PAGE DIGITAL PASSPORT UPFRONT MEDICALS CLIENT INFORMATION; •LOE •SOP •CV •A reference letter from my supervisor •Degree Certificate •Degree Transcripts •NYSC Posting letter •NYSC Certificate •My birth certificate •WAEC result •Employment letter (Written by frank , signed by my employer) •Study leave approval letter (Written by frank , signed by my employer) •work ID CARD •police clearance certificate •Picture with my parents •HSSE professional Certificate (levels 1,2 and 3) • social club reference letter (Written by frank) •Deed of Gift of a four story building with a penthouse on top from Dad( Drafted by a senior advocate of Nigeria), I did the deed of gift before my application but it was back dated! •My parent’s marriage certificate •My family 25th marriage silver jubilee calendar as far back as 2008 . (Showing a portrait of all my siblings and my parents in the center) I was only 12years old then but I added it because we don’t have family picture. •Siblings birth certificate •Reference letter from my dad company stating I am one of the directors of his company existing for more than 30years now. • My ID CARD showing am a director PROOF OF MEANS OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT •My full funding unconditional acceptance letter •Affidavit of sponsorship (Drafted by frank, signed by Dad and notary public ) •Letter of sponsorship (Written by frank , signed by Dad) •Board of resolution letter •Dad’s international passport data page •Dad’s Statement of account ( Bal: #113,000,000 inflow- 440M outflow-375M) •My Personal savings acc.

Prayer is the Key. I wish all TRV hopefuls SUCCESS!!! [Congratulation Dera. The lord who started will see you through. Please I need some important clarification. I have sent you a message kindly reply. Have a nice day. ] 6 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by Frankrobbn1: 11:59am On Aug 09, 2019 |
Vesment: The truth of the matter is that it worked for some people and at same time didn't work for majority of persons here. Going for an upfront medicals during an active application process is totally a big risk! Most especially when IRCC hasn't officially requested for it. It's more preferable and reasonable to wait for a medical call/request, with this you're sure with your fingers crossed of securing the visa or better still include an E-medical slip prior to the submission of your application. In a nutshell, applicants should follow their guts and instincts as it leads them. Who knows you might be lucky! Different strokes for different folks! Everyone should be 100% responsible for their application! 4 Likes 1 Share |

Frankrobbn1:Frank, can you explain the risk in it? |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by Frankrobbn1: 12:17pm On Aug 09, 2019 |
sashaa: The associated risk and regret is getting a REFUSAL after undergoing the medical exam. Some person's followed this path and when their application ended up been rejected, they started putting blames upon themselves for having spent 41k for a medical exam without waiting for IRCC to request for it. |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by sashaa(f): 12:20pm On Aug 09, 2019 |
Frankrobbn1:That's like regretting the amount wasted on the medicals, right? .But isn't the medical valid for a few months or is it a year? If it is, can't an applicant reapply with it? 1 Like |
