Staying in the USA after graduation is very difficult. Except you show to the government that you are a person of extraordinary talent or a company that cannot find an American employee, sponsors you to work for them. The USA does not give a rat ass your degrees, they kick you out of the country when you are done studying. Canada on the other hand, has provincial programs meant to attract and keep graduates of its universities.

Finally on a lighter tone, USA has hotter babes than Canada. If you are into black women or men, USA has a lot of African Americans. Finding your kind in Canada is very few and far between.

thanks...but my assistance in passing the exam is based on experience nothing else....of coz every wise man will have to study very hard to defend himself, if the exam has 30 questions...the material has 800 question....so 30 questions picked at random from the material....thatz y itz called dumps....if youve writen an IT exam you should know the setting....for example microsoft has a site were there prep questions can be downloaded..n same questions are set..supposed questions in exam is very normal itz called dumps also known as past questions..i cant be sure of the exam questions that will come out..na me they set the exam...i just adviced they shud write the exam sharp so the dumps questions wont change...this is same format i was helped by an unknown public person

Hi everyone,

VFS Abuja called a friend of mine telling him that his passport was uncollected for more than 20 days and it has been returned back to the embassy. But he was not told whether it is Lagos or Accra embassy. He applied for study permit. He has tried severally to reach vfs but to no avail.

Please who has experienced this and which embassy did you colect the passport? Did you visit the embassy without an appointment?

Thanks.

Austinpee4:

You friend should visit VFS office and hear what the have to say as regards retrieving the passport back from the embassy. Normally,it is only sent back to the embassy for safety purposes after an applicant fail to pick it up at VFS. Once he is able to contact the visa office through their email address, they will instruct him on how to get the passport back. He won't be needing an appointment with the embassy, the passport will be sent back to VFS and will be collected there.

Again, your friend should go to VFS office in person. They will advise better on the procedure.

Hello Flosure,

I was refused/denied Canadian visa twice and I tried US once and I was approved in a minute of my interview with the VO. I think God is speaking to you but you're not hearing HIM. US might be your way. Try US and your dream will be fulfilled and you can enter Canada from US if you like.

To everyone who wait to hear from Canadian Embassy for at-least two months on the decision on your application. Keep the faith alive and be hopeful but I will advise/advice instead of waiting at least two months, try US and VO doesn't take forever to decide on your application.

Actually it isn't a double standard. The VO knows that most Nigerian study permit applicants are likely to apply for PGWP and then get PR after their studies. They aren't stupid.

What the VO needs to know is whether you are the kind of person that would leave Canada "at the end of an authorized stay", e.g. will you go back to Naija if you don't get PGWP? will you go back to Naija if you don't get PR?

Since your application is for a study permit TRV, the VO is looking to you to convince him/her that you have very strong ties to Nigeria that would incentivize you to return to Nigeria if you can't legally stay in Canada anymore. At the time of your application, "end of authorized stay" is end of your studies. The onus is purely on you to convince the VO; this is how Canadian immigration law is written.

It is my opinion that the VO is more lenient with applicants who present themselves as organized, brilliant*, and visionary. You can have a third class and impress the VO mightily with the way you think and present your ambitions on how you would use your Canada education in Nigeria. Canadians want to keep improving their country, and would be more likely to approve a visa for an applicant that would be an asset to Canada.

Quick story: when I was in grad school in the US, a fellow grad student friend of mine went back home to the US embassy in Naija to renew his student visa. The VO asked him if he was coming back to Nigeria after his studies, my friend said "I don't know". The VO still approved his visa. While this is an extremely risky thing for an applicant to have said, my friend was at the time simultaneously a medical student and a PhD student (Google: "MD-PhD" ) at a Top-10 US university. The VO knew that my friend would be a significant asset to the US, so he still approved the visa.

Make it very difficult for the VO to deny you. It's a lot of work to pull this off if you are a complex applicant, but it's possible. Edited: I know someone, with a low 2:2, no job & no personal assets, who got approved for a TRV this year. He put together an amazing application. You can too.

*By brilliant, I'm not referring to your CPGA. I am referring to the way you present yourself to the VO.

Well said! In addition to the bolded, Canadian schools offer fully funded scholarships to graduate students. To get full funding as a master's degree student in the United States is a herculean task. Most of the funding packages in the United States are in form of graduate assistantships or research assistantships.

garuskoko:


Just curious, second and third notes says no LOA provided, isn't LOA letter of acceptance? Isn't that supposed to be the "admission letter". If it is, didn't the applicant include this is the application package? Thought that would be the first thing in the package. Pardon my ignorance guys!!�
