I am a prospective PhD student (Fall 2018); I wish to apply for my wife (SOWP) and 2 kids that are minors ((TRV) at the same time. On the IMM5257 for TRV (kids) there is a question requesting 'name and institution of any persons you wish to visit' - Name: Relationship to me: address in Canada:

Since I am not yet in Canada and do not have an address, what can I fill in the column 'ADDRESS IN CANADA'? Appreciate you help on this ; especially those who have applied for student visa with accompany family.

Hi,

You can put the address of the Institution for now. That's what I put.

Goingforward.

Have Mun offered you admission??

Hehehehe , I laugh at the bolded words. What experience are you talking about here?
Sir/Ma, I crave your indulgence that you should stop dishing out misleading information here. If you're unsure about any question, kindly jump them and give relevant answers to questions you know. Don't claim to be right when you're wrong okay. Why do you keep on saying that the updated IMM5707E is wrong? After giving a link for you to check and an Attachement from cic webpage.



Lemia already testified to it and Ratawu of a moniker is still arguing what he/she is not sure off. Quite funny anyway.
@Ratawu nice job you doing here, but endeavour to give out information you have relevant answers on and not a guess work okay. I won't go further beyond what I have just said

All the best!

Nobody knows it all here. We are just here to share notes and ideas to help ourselves. WHAT WOULD I GAIN FROM GIVING WRONG INFORMATION?
I contributed to the question based on my personal experience at the VFS and that was my teacher. Truly, I completed IMM5707 from home and when it reached my turn to submit around 5pm since 07:45am, the VFS guy told me it was the wrong form and I had to spend another money to come the next day and filled the IMM 5645 with additional N3000 at their business centre. And when we argue it here, the concesus way forward was that because of the inconsistency of the VFS guy, people should go with the two forms and give them the one they want in which o totally concurred with.
THEN WHY LAMBASTING ME AS IF I WAS YOUR KID. Don't behave as if you know it all and we need to respect each other.
Thank you

Hello sir, Kindly read through the application guidelines on the website of your intended uni. There are some courses in Canada that you don't need to secure a supervisor prior to admission but advised to submit in your application in good fate, and you would be contacted if you meet the requirements. These uni evaluates your transcript, recommendation letter and your statement of intent. Offers are made to students based on (1) their available project funding, (2) student's background and skills, and (3) interest alignment.

Endeavor to contact the Graduate Program Assistant for guidance. They offer the best advise. Also, note that if your intended course of study needs you to identify with a supervisor before acceptance, you need to be strategic in selling yourself.

I will advise you to read through the below link for more information;

thanks bro..i appreciate. Those guys ain't replying their mails

Brotherly,thank you for this comprehensive explanation.Mostly appreciated.
May God always bless you.

jnyuwa02:


You might be on the wrong study thread. This is Canadian and not USA. However for a professor to go that length of waiving application fee sounds looks Canadian. Either way, it means you are likely in. He probably got a referal from another department who thought you might be a right fit for his department. Good luck bro! It seems like an admission will be extended to you soon.

please sir,help a bro, i desperately need your mobile number.

Sorry bro, you can ask whatever question you have here so other people can contribute and also learn from it. I saw your PMs but I don't attend to PMs for now, so feelfree to ask anything on this forum. Shalom

hi guys,

i'm about to apply for my study permit and something is bothering me. so here's the thing ... when i went for my nysc in 2016 i was so unlucky to have contacted tuberculosis in camp.. we were about 250 in a small room and it could have been from anyone. i received treatment from june 2016 to april 2017 here in lagos.. i was on drug for more than 9 months.. but in may 2017 i was asked to stop the drugs that the tb cells were dead and i was tb free...i had series of test to confirm this and it all came out positive and since then i've been very fine. so now to my question

on one of the forms there was a question about tuberculosis in last two years.. i'm thinking of coming clean by ticking yes but i'm also scared it will raise a red flag.. please what do you guys think??

goingforward:



Hi,

You can put the address of the Institution for now. That's what I put.

Goingforward.

Can anyone please also help to clarify this:


I filled the imm5257 Schedule 1. But I noticed there is also the imm5257 (2017 form).

Can we fill anyone?

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi everyone,
I want to apply for my study permit via online method. I want to ask where can I upload documents like police report, educational documents, marriage certificate. I can only see a section for "client information". Thanks your responses are appreciated.

jnyuwa02:


Would not hurt to show birth certificate of siblings if you have. It can paint a broad picture of your life.

Thank you dear. Also please what can be the word limit for a detailed SOP or page limit. I have written about 1300 words already, which has amounted to almost 3pages, is this too much?

Jewel80:

There is no word limit. 3-4 pages I find are the perfect fit to explain all your situation and circumstances without leaving anything out.

That is where to upload additional documents you want the VO to see that are not explicitly stated on the online profiling, upload to “client information.” You are looking at the right place.

Quite certain he's going to get his TRV soon. He's one of the top gurus on this forum.

Hahaha, I just saw this having been gone all day yesterday, thanks for the vote of confidence, blessings fall on you!!

Officially - No. But I was contacted yesterday by a Prof in Oil and Gas Engr who asked me to immediately change my course from Ocean Engr with graduate school ; that he would be reviewing my application as he sees I posses the relevant skills to work in his research group and that there is a high tendency that he wld be accepting me for Fall 2018. He further went ahead to tell me the specific area I would most likely be researching on - which I noticed is very connected to ocean engr and also my current job role - fingers crossed.

Any info from your end??

Hello House,

Please which University in Canada accept 2:2 (second class lower) for a LAW program?

None accept a second class lower for a law program. Your best bet is an MBA program if you have a lot of work experience, some very limited schools will take you.

Hello house please am new to this forum. Am 26 and I applied for Canadian student visa for an undergraduate program in march. I got my denial letter on 9th. Reason being that they are not convinced that I will return after my program based on my travel history and purpose of visit.
I submitted all necessary documents including part payment of school fees receipt being 1000canadian dollar. My acceptance letter, sponsors bank statement of over 10million. I want to reapply but am confused on how to tackle these issues. Please help me with advice on what to do. Thanks

What was ticked in your Refusal letter?

It is better you declare it because these embassy guys are not predictable. If you tick "NO" and your medical report shows that you have the history of TB, then you risk being alleged of MISREPRESENTATION.

Our people should learn from what happened to some applicants last year when they ticked "NO" to question in the form if they have been refused any visa before and unknowingly to them, the background check conducted by the IRCC with the U.S. Data base revealed that they have been refused USA visa on the past and misrepresentation with 5 years ban was their verdict.
THIS KIND OF BAN IS AVOIDABLE.

could you share your first degree grade? That also helps in giving advice.

Thanks Sir. I finished with 2.2 in Economics Education. looking forward for your guidance.

I can’t do a master as I graduated with a 2:2, and there is no PGD course in that course.. can’t a strong SOP tackle this, as for my age it 24 and not 25 years..

kingfintan,

Going for a second degree on your discipline in Canada shows no logical progression. If you think an SOP can conquer this, then go ahead and present a rational explanation to why you opted out for a second degree instead of a PGD.
But to be frank with you, most of this visa officers don't believe what is on your SOP when it comes to a case like yours, most especially when they have gone through your file entirety and find out that you already acquired a first degree. Whatsoever reason you present on your SOP will be unreasonable to them and will immediately conclude that you're not a bona-fide applicant that will leave Canada, even people with strong academic progression are still battling to be approved of their visas, talk more of a person that already has a degree and going for a second degree in Canada. What will be the person fate?

My advice!!!.....Don't put your application at risk. Google more, you might find a course that is directly related to your previous studies for a PGD.

All the best!

They don't believe anything on your SOP except it is backed with sufficient evidence. You will only be preaching to the dead. All your explanations have to be convincing beyond the reasonable doubt. Personally never seen anyone going for a second first degree approved.

Ps: However bleak I have painted the chances of success, I can actually see someone who is going for a second first degree winning a visa. A situation where you studied something you didn't like, but want to go for something else tangible based on working experience. For example someone who studied fine arts and came out and landed a job with an environmental firm and became passionate in that field and wants to study more in that area. Going for graduate school directly wont be feasible in that case and doing a first degree and acquiring the necessary prerequisite, would be the only way to go. A second degree doesn't mean you will spend another four years. You spend only two years to get a second first degree and proceed to graduate school in the area of your new found interest.

Thank you

Ratawu,

Lol! Sorry to hear you passed through this during your visa application submission. The VFS official that instructed you to get the old IMM5654E might not be aware of the changes. As this new form was updated not long ago. Also, why I argued your post was that i know of 3-4 applicants that submitted their application recently alongside with the new IMM5707E but were not asked to go back and get the old form.

To the above bolded word... I'm not lambasting at you Sir/Ma, but the way you commented previously that "Do I want the applicant to waste his/her money at the time of their application submission really kept me wondering why you said this and you kept on saying that the new IMM5707E form is wrong also made me to quote your moniker the second time". You should have come clean at the first instance and make it out spoken that you went through a traumatic stress at the VFS office not by telling me that experience is the best teacher and its a wrong form, while others has submitted their application freely without asking them to go back.

Lastly, I don't know it all as you thought I do. I am open and I learn everyday, I am also far/not close of being a perfect person. This is faceless forum, each and everyone of us here is free to contribute their quota for the betterment of the forum, there are no persons that their specialty is to help people here. So, don't misunderstand this fact okay.

Shalom!
