Assalam-o-Alaikum.
Allah ka shukar hai that I got my VISA and Allah ka bahut bahut bahut ziada shukar hai that my friend also got the VISA.
I got VISA on 27 Nov and my friend on 28 Nov but I was waiting for his passport to arrive Karachi today so that's why I didn't post it here on this forum.
I will like to share my own profile only and let you people know that CIC gives VISA if you apply them in the correct way and I also went through a consultant so yeah that was a huge help, without him I wouldn't have received my visa in so small time period or I wouldn't have received visa overall.
MY PROFILE:
-My father was my sponsor who showed almost CAD 64K in bank.
-He showed 3 rental properties along with 1 where we live.
-NTN Certificate with 4 years tax return.
-Affidavit of Support from my father.
-I applied for University Of Manitoba (ICM)
I did O and A Levels, while I was an average student in O Levels but my grades in A Levels were not very good.
I was exempted from IELTS because of my average grade in English O Levels but still I gave IELTS for making a strong case.
IELTS Academic - 7 band (L-8.0, R-7.0, W-6.0, S-7.0)
Along with this I submitted 6 months tuition fee and received LOA, Receipt of Fee, and LOO.
I also wrote a 1.75 page SOP which was a very general SOP nothing fancy.
Also I attached Police Character Certificate, True Translation of my and my father's cnic, Birth certificate and FRC. ( Though Birth Certificate and FRC wasn't necessary )
I submitted my documents to VFS Global Karachi on -- 24th Oct 2014 (Friday)
Biometrics done on -- 24th Oct 2014 (Friday)
My file was send to CHC Islamabad on 27 Oct 2014 (Monday)
Medical done on - 5th Nov 2014 (Wednesday)
Medical Request received on - 13th Nov 2014 (Thursday)
P.S: I went for an upfront medical after I send my VISA application, because my consultant said that there is a huge waiting line in appointments in IOM so I have applied for medical for you and received this date(5 Nov 2014).
After I received medical request my consultant send the medical letter received from IOM with medical request letter to 2 email addresses in CHC Islamabad. ( I was very scared of this procedure as I didn't know if he was doing right thing to go for upfront and then waiting for medical request from embassy and then emailing them, but it was the best possible way to save time)
I also send the medical letter via TCS for safety reasons that they should receive my upfront medical letter but it was a waste, email send by my consultant did all the work. (20 Nov 2014 send medical letter through TCS)
On -- 26 Nov 2014 my consultant received email from CHC Islamabad that my application has been approved
And then I got my passport on -- 27 Nov 2014.
So my documents were submitted on 27 Oct 2014 and I received my visa on 26 Nov 2014, this means it was even less than a month
I mean 1 day less in a month, okay it was a month.
So, I just wanna tell you that consultants are a big help, they did all the work to get my LOO and then there were some conditions which he cleared on LOO and then I received unconditional LOO. After that he did all the work in VISA filing, I just provided him the bank statement and the rental properties documents, otherwise he managed everything. I think giving 15K to him was worth as I am spending so much on my education, giving 15K was not a big deal and I got a good result and got my VISA in 1 month while my friend got in 1 month 6 days.
I pray to Allah that whoever is waiting for their medicals, soon receive medical request from embassy and whoever is now waiting for VISA soon receive VISA. ( Aameen )
