Any nigerian or ghanaian student applying for study permit for fall 2017?
- Thread starter nessacanada
- Start date
Medical is normally requested later in the process of the application so if you do upfront medical, the VO may either update it immediately on ur profile or not update it at all until it actually gets to the time when it is required to be updated. So doing ur medical upfront isn't an advantage per se, however, it's good to do it if you are a busy person or travel out of town most of the time. This would prevent delay in case it's asked for and you are not in town. Just keep cool,all shall be well!!!
i did upfront because i thought it would make the visa processing faster. i guess i was wrong.

I think the longer it waits the better. If you follow those who got theirs approved from the africa office , most of them exceeded their school starting dates. Normally when you get a response within two months or 3 when the timeline is 21 weeks , its definitely not good but there could be exceptional cases though but thats been my observation
In actuality the 21weeks processing time is an estimate base on 80% of study permits approved or refused in the past and it changes every week. Personally, I checked in March and it was 13 weeks for Ghana and in the first week or two of May, it was 20 weeks and starting from 15th May it went up to 21 weeks. Currently Nigeria is 14 weeks a week shorter from last week. Hope Ghana's reduces in subsequent weeks cuz the anxiety of not knowing the outcome of my application is killing me... Lol
My first application was on 06/01/2017, got refused on 08/03/2017 on reasons of
Travel history
Purpose of visit
Financial assets
I applied as a sole proprietor . Did upfront medicals with police clearance in my first application.
Got admission @ NBCC PGC in Business Analysis.
Added some other assets and fresh documents and reapplied on 17/05/2017.
all the best to us

Oooh charley hmmm...
But its always good when you get a response close to the timeline or if it exceeds. When i did my first application it was 13 weeks, i applied on paper (both APPs)
Sorry but not a good look. If you were not called for medicals then thats a refusal . But i read a case where somebody was refused then later his medicals was requested but thats like 1 in a million.
My docs were different cos i applied as an entrepreneur going to study( sole proprietor) plus if you get your case specific then you could know the reasons. Mine could differ
What do you mean by minimum ?
