I am about to apply for study permit with dalhaouise acceptance letter...I will want to know if I get admission to saskatchewan or manitoba will I be able to change after v applied for study permit..or its impossible.

Thanks

Austinpee4:

In as much as situations like yours are worrisome, its normal to be troubled, you are human but it can't help the situation either. Considering that your application has passed the stipulated processing time for the processing office, you may want to send a case enquiry to find out the status of your apllication through their IRCC WEB FORM

ok bro thanks for the link God bless i will do that now

Apply for the study permit with the dalhousie admission leter so you can buy time.

You may change your school, program, field of study or level of study (e.g. from the Bachelor level to the Masters level) without applying for a new study permit. You do not need to apply for a change to the condition of your study permit, either. You may continue to use your study permit as long as it is valid.

Thanks very much ooo, i saw the link also, but was in an argument with a friend , he claimed i will have to a semester before i can change.

My plan exertly is to t buy time also, and more so tuition of Manitoba and sas. are not as much as tuition of Dal.

@yemdogg noted and thanks,that is to say that he should pursue his certifications,get that dusted commence practice and further with masters there or can he be doing both simultaneously,thanks

yemdogg:


Masters degree will not guarantee him the licence to practice. He needs to obtain necessary certifications and join the relevant professional body to be licensed to practice in Canada.

I may be wrong though.

Greetings house. I got admission into York University. Wish to know how to go about online route application thanks so much as i wait

Depends on his legal status in Canada. Is he a permanent resident or is he in Canada by virtue of a study permit ? If he's in Canada in pursuant of a study permit, then he needs to pursue his Master’s degree first so as not to violate the conditions of his study permit. He may however run both simultaneously if he has the capacity to do so.

Be advised; studying in Canada can be very tasking.....he needs to get his priorities straight and settled so as not to crash as like sosoliso jet.

I believe you will ask your school for forms of payment. There is global pay if your school is on their list.
Am not sure of all I said and the exchange rate. I call on others, with sound knowledge about it, to kindly comment. Thank you.

Thanks a lot. Well appreciated

hello all,
what still baffles about cic is that their are people who submitted a trv application via both route but after months they are yet to get an update on the processing....any clues about what might have went wrong?
Here The Vegreville immigration processing centre in Alberta, which deals
with permanent residence applications, was among the immigration
operations that came under the microscope of the government’s
quality management reviews. A total of 996 files processed between
November 1 and December 6, 2013 were examined, and human error
issues were found in 617 request letters sent to applicants, according to the department review. This represents a 62 percent error rate on
the files that were reviewed. Staff failed, for example: to use the correct form letters, to address the problem of missing documents, and to give applicants accurate timelines. The Toronto Star reported that the following incidents occurred over
the course of recent months: A Jamaican man got an official notice that his immigration application
was being processed. Months later, he was told his incomplete
package had been returned to him a long time ago, and nobody
knows where his file is now. A student from India received a new student visa with the same expiry
date as his old one. He was forced to miss a term of college while
waiting for the problem to be corrected. A Toronto resident’s sponsorship for his parents in Syria was denied
because officials said he had failed to respond to letters the family
claimed it never received. A Croatian widow, now 76, is still waiting for a decision on a
permanent residence application, seven years after her son applied to
sponsor her. She now faces deportation after unknowingly paying only
the old $75 visitor visa renewal fee, which had been raised to $200 a
year previously. A Filipino woman moved to Canada as a live-in caregiver in 2007 and
applied for permanent resident status in July, 2010, as soon as she
met the employment requirement. Today, she is still waiting to get
her papers and be joined by her daughter, 17, and son, 9. “People want, and deserve, transparency and fairness in the processing
of their Canadian immigration applications. But in many cases, that’s
not what is being delivered. Over the past decade or so, CIC processing
has become increasingly rigid and inflexible. It really is heartbreaking at
times,” says Attorney David Cohen

Thanks i have contacted the school for a deferment letter which has been approved and i have forwarded that to the Accra processing office and still no response from them .

Hey guys a friend told me that it's a compulsion to pay tuition fees before one can obtain a Canadian student visa.Please how true is this

ChristoBam:

Its not true. Paying tuition fees just gives you an edge and shows your financial strength. A lot of people have gotten their visas without paying any tution, but for me, i will advice you pay maybe a half of it even though its not compulsory.

I will have my own testimony this year by the grace of God.

With due respect to the facts stated below I beg to Refrence my question to the FUNDING aspect ; please what is the way forward if your sponsor is not related to you at all for example my father's friend or maybe my in-law how do I prove relationship in such case (I am going for undergraduate)
Thank you trv doctor

michV:
key areas to always work on during TRV application which is often visa refusals out of ignorance...

Purpose of visit; Make sure your intending program in canada relates with either your work experience/position or your UG degree or both if applicable. always keep your SOP simple and straight to the points and avoid ambiguous statements that causes stress and loss of interest to the reader,VO.
what you tend to achieve with your intending program,the relationship to your career and future goals and why canada for such study destination is what majorly your SOP should be revolving on and should have weighted and convincing points in this areas. Avoid ''story-telling'' sentences and make your statements professional with compound sentences.For those going for ordinary diploma program after having B.sc,approval chances are always slim not that VOs don't approve such but your case must be strong and convincing enough.
choose programs that are closely related not that you FEEL that they are related.if you are always in doubt for such,search wide on Google to truly know if such programs have close relationship with you UG course modules and contents.

Personal assets and financial status; unexplained or empty gaps come to this category,for those still undergoing NYSC or going for undergraduate program in canada,this area hardly apply to you guys,those undergoing NYSC should just add their NYSC supporting docs to cover present gaps. Specifically to working class,all relevant employment documents and/or activities from the date you finished NYSC till the date of your application should come in place,in addition if you have worked for long and have come of age,you are mandated to add your PERSONAL BANK STATEMENT of ACC.it is a MUST even if you are being sponsored and a reasonable amount of money should be in such account of 1 million and above just to be on the safer side.Similarly some have activities which is deemed profitable to their career,during visa application,such can come in place to explain present gaps in your application with the relevant supporting document in place too for the VO to make reference and in this type of situation I don't feel the personal SOA of the individual can come in place expect if the activity pays(income).
For those who have come of age and still single without family and kids to serve as HOME TIES, a land Document or meaningful stocks and bonds/properties should come in place and even if you don't have any,go get one months before applying for TRV.If you are married with kids they are already strong home ties to your application. Lands,stocks and bonds is an addition which also signals to the consular(S) that your have strong economic ties to your home country if you have such too.HOME TIES/personal assets vary and apply to individuals depending on the nature/profile of the individual during visa application.

funds; family,relatives are always convincing sponsors to the consulars for study visa, possible proof of relationships to such sponsors are, Birth certificates, marriage certificates then affidavit of sponsorships and DETAILED sponsorship letter, sponsor's SOA and business/work related document as proof of income follow up.self-sponsorship is also applicable and when acting as self-sponsored it requires you will have your funds for the entire duration of your program available as proof..if you are using extended families as sponsors,try as much to make your Proof of relationship documents clear and detailed. Always fill your FUNDS AVAILABLE Section of IMM1294E or study permit well of at least 1yr funds as specified by the CIC even if the program is a 2yrs or 4yrs program.The statement of account flow would be able to speak for subsequent years for the VO to believe that your sponsor can oblige to such responsibilty(ies). Avoid money Lodgement in an empty account left with no transaction for past months or prior to visa application in such empty acct of a sponsor except cases whereby such money was transferred or paid in with a clarification letter for it's purpose to your visa application in an account of good transaction history.if your sponsor is a business person as you may have it,if it involves you building up the acct for visa purpose,make sure it has business transaction details while owing up to such responsibilty.
in addition,fill your CIC forms well..

Sorry about the refusal. Now to my bold statements,
1. No, PGD isn't the issue, your circumstances in pursuant of a PGD is!
2. How long since you left university?
3. How many years of work experience do you have in either your current occupation or any managerial(financial/business) level of some sort in addition to being a chartered accountant?
4. The position you are aiming at, will it be at top level of your establishment and was this somehow mentioned in your application?
5. How old are you?
If you could give more details on these, i'm sure the real reasons won't be far fetched.
