Nigerian Students Waiting for Visa for January 2015 (Online/Paper Application)
- Thread starter Seyececil
- Start date
Since yours takes this length to be addressed, when then will be the right time for me to apply to VAC, since my own school resumption is September? When is the right time(as per month) to apply? Please what other information to help mine. Won't like to experience such delays. Thanks!
I submitted my application on the 3rd of October. Its not up to 23 weeks yet. But I know that study permits for nigerian students are being processed in ghana which takes 8 weeks via paper application, doesnt look like it applies to online applications though. There has been no change to my application as of today. Still waiting.Nas man said:
I think the best is that you apply now, and make sure you submit an upfront medical visit bcz its needed for your application,
@ Seyececll, I am stilll waiting on my application I guess I will have answer in the coming week since my application is already close to the normal processing time. I will sure keep you update as soon as I have an answer from them.

Thanks! I wish I could. Only delay am having now from applying is getting my sponsor financial statement in place. Heard a 6months bank statement is required? Please Can I have list(s) of documents required ( you packed) in the application package submitted to the VAC, as to compare with what I already have to ensure I have all in place.Seyececil said:
@tooba, thanks! good point. Heard Medicals before app. submission, reduces delays. Also I think it has space interval before doing so like 2months before applying?
I submitted the financial statements for a year though. I submitted an online application in which I was given a personalized checklist. Check out this site http://cannime.com/applying-for-a-canadian-study-permit-from-nigeria/ it should be able to help you.ObinnaOkeke said:

Bro, are you applying from within the country of somewhere else? I would suggest you take your plan to option B, which means worst case scenario, you need to get another admission letter for say Sept 2015 or Jan 2016 considering the 23 weeks (approximately 6 months) needed for a study permit application for Nigerians, this could be done by requesting a defer letter from the school or an outright new application to the school and you must inform them about the length of the processing of study permit so that they can give your admission letter in time to thrown in a new application well ahead of time.
But if you are making the application as a Nigerian from outside the country, your status in that country do matter as it might count against you as 'no tie to home country'.
Do wish you the very best and do keep us posted.
I applied within the country. I applied October 3rd. so if its actually 23 weeks, that means I'll hear from them by April. I sent a mail to them though, they said the application was being processed in Ghana. I suppose they were wrong. Thanks though.Nas man said:
