a mail for passport pickup without medicals? Look slike a refusal except he did an upfront medical examination then it can be an approval. But if he didnt do any upfront medicals, then it seems like a refusal. But just go to VFS and collect ur passport to confirm.
mimikoko:
good evening, my brother just got a mail that his passport is ready for pick up. He applied for student visa but he wasn't called for medicals. pls is medicals a pre-requisite for student visa approval?
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 14 by makano: 3:49pm On Jul 13, 2018
Getting a Masters degree with 2:2 is possible if u have a lot of work experience on the course you intend studying. But in the absence of that, You can go for PGD/PGC.. People get TRV with PGD, so far you show ur intention to go study.
Horlamidei:
My close relative who's a Canadian citizen is willing to help me get to Canada and he suggests we will have it done through me coming there for masters. He gave me his white wife's graduated school name which is Memorial University (MUN) which is also close to his resident to check the school website for requirements and apply online first. The requirement states that masters is for people who made the total CGPA of at least 2.75 out of 4.0 which is a 2.1 here in nigeria but I graduated with 2.2 but I still applied with it despite my grade online and he's about paying 120$ for the online reg processing for admission. Please, is there any other Canada university that accepts 2.2 for masters or what do you suggest I do, please because he's ready and really really willing to help me?!

Hello @Austinpee4,

Thanks for this information. Please, I would like to ask, does it mean that if one already has a valid visitor TRV, upon approval of study visa application, passport request would not be requested for stamping ( since one already has a visa) only approval would be given and then when i travel i get my study permit at the point of entry?

Or is it that a special student visa for Canada exists, in this case, they will call for passports and reissue a particular student visa?

Please shed more light on this for me. Other nairalanders who have this information can also share please.

Thanks

goingforward.

Hi goingforward,

Once your study permit is approved, a visa foil will still be issued to you irrespective of the valid visiting visa you have. This is to help officers at the point of entry identify your purpose in Canada on arrival and subsequently issue you with the right document(s) for your stay. The category of visa is clearly written on the visa foil. So upon arrival, the officer would ask what you are in Canada for, once you say studying, the expect to see a visa issued for your study permit on your passport. Same as visiting, if you say visiting, your visiting visa must be valid too as well as other requirements for a visit.

So in summary, each visa is issued for a purpose and will be clearly written on the foil. Your answers to questions at the POE will determine the one the officer will check at the POE for validity and for issuance of appropriate documents. The only exceptional case is a PR approval. All other previously issued TRV will be cancelled.

Hope this is clear enough.

Regards.

Maybe your program is actually 1 year or a mistake was made. You should renew 6 months before the end of your permit.

Lastly, which university and program?


Na the duration of my program was boldly written on the admission letter.

Is 2 years thesis based Msc Computer Science at University of Guelph

The letter of scholarship also stated that scholarship wS granted for two years.


I will renew as advice

It is really unfortunate. A lot is really going on wrong with the Canada visa process. Worst is that they are incommunicado. But like you said God de!

If it is refusals, their decision is always between 3-4 weeks if submission date.
So be hopeful

June applicants how far oo?? Any news ??
I haven't heard anything after my biometrics ��.

"The time allotted for the collection and screening of biometrics is not a part of application processing times. You are encouraged to give their biometrics as quickly as possible after receiving the Biometric Instruction Letter as the sooner an applicant provides their biometrics, the sooner Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada can start processing your application." -- http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=707&top=

Send them an urgent e-mail explaining that you are yet to receive your biometrics letter after 72hrs.

Let me say what I have read from the website of most schools in Canada. I think I read somewhere where they said your GPA for the last two years (60credits) of your program should be at least 3.0. I think if MUN says minimum 2.75. They should mean the last two years GPA should be a minimum of 2.75. My thought

Moreover, since your relative house is close to the school and can just go to the school/department to find out this information for you or he can call the graduate coordinator and find out.

You are getting those errors because you are using Foxit Reader. Use Adobe Reader to fill the form and you should be fine. I know this because someone I was helping had the exact same problem and was solved as soon as he changed to Adobe Reader.
