Tvickie:
Hello everyone, so i am at a cross road. I applied to university of manitoba and Thompson rivers for my masters program. Manitoba(which is my 1st choice because of tuition) says ill be replied march ending or early april but i got a conditional admission into Thompson rivers yesterday night and i was asked to provide some documents and 1st installment of tuition fee which is about 1.8 million within 30 days before i can be given the admission letter which will be used at the embassy for visa purposes.

So I am worried that if i pay the fee for Thompson rivers and Manitoba ends up giving me admission, I might not be able to get a refund as i prefer Manitoba(Their refund policy is only on the ground of visa denial with evidence). Bearing in mind that the 30 days deadline wont be equal to when manitoba will make their decision. I dont want to lose both while waiting for the other

I am opting for asking Thompson rivers for an extension of the deadline and will like to get a second opinion from you all.

Let me post this again. I will appreciate an answer:
Please I need some clarification.
I'm applying for study permit alone. With intention of applying for my husband and daughter after I get MY tRV/study visa.
In filling the form, there is a place where it's asked.
Are you going with your family?
Am I to tick yes or is it no? since I'm applying alone for now.
Please help, I don't want to make a mistake and I'm gathering information.

princekins:
Please I need some clarification: which is faster to get Visa? the reason 4dix qstn is dat I was debating with someone last night that student visa is faster, but he was of the opinion that it is faster and cheaper to get EE, then seek admission when you get to Canada. Pls I need input from gurus in the house;wat do u guys think and can I run the 2 options, is it safe? Thanks in anticipation.

Hello everyone.

I am trying to quickly submit visa applications for my spouse and son. I am submitting a visiting visa for my spouse and a study permit for my son. I have a couple of questions regarding the forms for both categories.

1) For my spouse visiting visa, what should I use in place of "invitation letter"? Am I supposed to attach a copy of my passport request or a copy of my student visa?

2) For my son's study permit, how do I go about the issue of "acceptance letter" as he doesn't have any such letter? Am I supposed to fill in the name of my school, tuition etc?

Please house, I would appreciate all the help, advice and recommendation I can get. @goingforward @jnyuwa02 @frankrobbn1 @canadabyfire @lagos2canna and all other experts in the house.


P.S. @blaugrana82 I didn't see your message.

Please anyone gained admission to unbc here?

Processing Times says 28 days for visiting visa process but application processing is taking almost 60days. I want to ask if its the same with other applicants?

We keep going back and forth, can't make up our minds!
As Kontagious said in the other thread, this post PPR phase is something else. After one headache comes another one. Lol.
I wish we had a close family member over there, the "where" decision would have been an easy one.

We're still looking at BC but the research keeps giving me all sorts. Vancouver: expensive no jobs, Abbotsford: drugheads, Victoria: expensive no jobs and on and on. Jobs are not an issue for me because I freelance, this is mainly for my husband.
And I'd really like for us to start life in a proper city then move to wherever we decide. Ayam tayad of the research jare.
We've looked at other provinces but we just keep returning to the beginning.

This is a clarion call to anyone in BC willing to take me under their wing, I be good pikin. Hep needed.
All that cold and snow of other provinces is scaring me s***less.

Hi guys, what's the place of international Driver's License? I mean, is it advisable to get this in Nigeria or get the National Driver's License once landed? Thanks

Depends on the configuration of the laptop you want, what specs are u looking at? Processor, RAM, HDD size, HDD or SSD, Screen size, etc. When u say not less than 200k, does that mean you can go as high as possible or u meant not more than 200k. Recently bought a Dell for 350k but d specs r quite high. Figure out what you want in the lappy first..

My family intends to settle there and I want to know how possible it will be for me to get job to assist my family as my husband is a doctor and will need to take licencing exam first before practising.
Can I get your email or anything to contact you with please?

A Bridging open work permit is for people already working in Canada who have applied for permanent residency but their current visa (either post graduate work permit or work permit) will expire before their PR application is approved. This means you can't apply for it if you are outside Canada. You can search for 'bridging open work permit" on the CIC website

salford1:

Yeah. Also a pastor(assct) at Rccg Jesus house in S'toon.

Aseade:


Just like in the US, if you married a Citizen and you are granted Greencard, you must stay in that marriage for 2 years. If you opt out of the marriage before the 2 year lapse, your greencard automatically becomes invalid and revoked.

Just a week or two ago. I mentioned the surge in crime rate within and around Calgary.
We need to be vigilant and watch out for ourselves.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge about BC, much appreciated. We have our sights set on BC, Surrey specifically. Our options are still very wide open but we have Surrey on the top of the list basically because it has the second largest population in BC and less rainfall than Vancouver. So, not too strong reasons and we can easily change our minds.

Do you have any information about the place? Thoughts, ideas?

P.S This is also open to anyone who has got information about BC. Thanks so much.

I didn't submit schedule A with my application and didn't have any reason to. Guess it's a case of mistaken identity.

@vcole, SlowlybtSurely, Gimme: Any ideas?

No need to get involve with this argument. Yes POF must be in the applicants name. Same as other documents the primary applicant is submitting.

However acceptable POF is not limited to be in the applicants name alone.

But who must submit this document, POF - The primary applicant. Accompanying spouse do not have any document checklist to submit POF. It is where POF is not in the primary applicants name or the account is a joint account, you can then use LOE to explain. The ties are there - your spouse is an accompanying spouse, there is a marriage certificate to show marriage, there is affidavit for name change, the bank statement is showing the last name/surname of the partners, same as international passport.

I can bet your $1,000 US dollars and I can reliably confirm this statement and people who have done likewise who are living in Canada as PR.

Are you up to the challenge. Let me send my account details

merrymum:


I don't know what credentials you are evaluating but only a first degree BEFORE any other PG diploma/degree counts as 2 or more certificates. So if you evaluated say OND and BSC (and u maybe used ur ND to get direct entry to uni), it doesn't count as 2 or more certifications.

haha, powers that be.

could you be so kind to re post?

@maternal

Just wondering why there seem to be few posts on information on British Columbia.

Do you have any idea what the place is like?

damidamsel:


@40manlappy....thanks alot but does that mean i should take out all jobs that are Category C? The main job i intend using now is Category B and i have job experience of category A but not enough to use as primary occupation

40manlappy:


I have a family friend who has decided to relocate to either Canada or Australia but has some obvious constraints. The responses that I got on the Australian thread suggests that the options available for him are not feasible.

He is 52 years; apparently, he is not qualified for PR but the wife is 45 meaning she has just 5 years to secure ITA and obtain PR but obviously, age is no longer on her side to attain the required CRS score. They have 2 kids aged 16 and 15 respectively.

I have done some research on Entrepreneur/Self-Employed visa but the net asset requirements are on the high side for a middle-class family (about CAD$ 300,000 and above). Due to this, I wanted to suggest study route (Masters) for the wife so that she can later apply for Spousal Open Work Permit for her husband. She has B.A English and 10 years teaching experience as at date.

However, someone noted that it may be difficult for her to obtain a study permit for a Masters program at age 45, talk less of SOWP.

What do you think please? Practical insights would be appreciated.

Great contributions bro.
I like to ask further my wife is a dentist and we looking forward to ppr, please what is the route to registration for her.
Looking forward to your kind advice.
