My brother I'm so sorry hear this. Your situation is convoluted to say the least. I can only speak for Canada. Canada and usa works together, let me give u an example, I was speeding in new York because I was rushing to make it to Toronto to get ready for work the next day, I was stopped by the police for speeding and was given a ticket. When I got into toronto in a couple of days I got another ticket in the mail by toronto police asking me to pay an additional amount because I was caught speeding in yankee also my license was seized in Canada for 30 days due to that incidence.
Back to your issue, if you over stayed your visa it will be extremely different for Canada to give you study visa cos they can easily pull up ur record from their elder brother (yankee). My advise would be to apply tho but with a strong support letter detailing why you offer stayed and also give reasons why that won't repeat itself when u get to canada. The Vo would believe that if you have done it before u can easily do it again.
I would strongly advise that u hire a reputable immigration (I don't mean all those packaging agents in naija) lawyer maybe in yankee to assist u with this battle.
It's not over my brother I've seen lawyer fight removal orders trust me.
On the yankee side it's either u take the 5yr ban and move on or fight a lawyer to fight the battle for you. I swear to you I'm not trying to sell the services of a lawyer but the Vo's kinda respect a good lawyer.
It is well my brother, no problem is worth killing Ur self over. You can pm me to talk further. I'm not an agent I'm just a dude that got study permit with the help of NL in 2009 and I like to share my personal experience and help others in return

Hello house, I do not want this to seem a burden for you to read but pls, do calm down and read it. It's a real life situation, and I need input of experienced persons. Your response will be appreciated, negative or positive.

Personal profile: 31, engaged to be married, 7yrs work experience, MBA in Nigeria(I need one more degree from either US or Canada. Already gained admission for a 2yrs Leadership course to cap up my academic qualifications cos I'm looking ahead to higher leadership positions plus being an employer), just got a new job last month.

Last year, i made a trip to the U.S. on vacation. Few days to my departure from the States, there was the Ebola virus outbreak. Out of scare, my family who resides here in Nigeria advised I stayed back till it subsides. I took their advice. While i waited, i decided to apply for my Masters degree program(i planned to return to the States after getting my F1 visa in Nigeria which would be after my vacation but then, the Ebola outbreak changed everything).

I gained admission and the school advised i applied for a change of status from B2(visitor) to F1 visa. My admission was deferred for this reason. My change of status application was submitted way before the expiration of my 6months stay but the response from U.S. Immigration services came after the expiration. I could not leave the States during the processing because by my understanding of the U.S. immigration policy, it says once such application is made, no travel was allowed.

Unfortunately, I was denied the status change due to the fact that the gap between my 6months expiration and the school start date was 35days instead of a maximum of 30days (no fault of mine). I was advised to appeal and given a letter by the school, stating all the immigration laws to my advantage but i did not adhere to that because my long stay was impromptu, I wanted to come back home to my family and fiancé, and also as not to incur unlawful presence which was already accumulating due to the late response from US immigration department.

Based on these, I returned to Nigeria immediately where i applied for an F1 but was denied and given a 5yrs ban from entering the U.S. by the Visa Officer without giving me a chance to explain.
Now, I intend to apply next week. School session is this September.

My questions are:
-will this affect my Canadian study permit?
-if I apply, should state clearly, then US ban and the situation?
-if yes, should I submit docs from the US immigration of the status change denial, and the school's notice of appeal letter I was meant to submit? (So as not to be accused of misrepresentation and concealing of information when they eventually find out from the US database)
-should I go through paper or online route of study permit application?

Thanks

Unfortunately you got the timing wrong but you haven't done nothing wrong by trying to convert from B2 to F1, its not against the immigration law.

Feel free to apply for Canadian student visa and explain the situation with those documents you have, waste no money on immigration lawyers they will only suck you dry while time ticks.

First concentrate on meeting the student visa requirements then in addition explain the situation with US student visa issue. 5yrs ban by US does not mean that you will not be given Canadian visa as long as you did not misrepresent any material fact. You were just unfortunate.

Hello house, how is everyone doing?
I have a little problem here, when I requested for my transcripts from my school, I was applying for a different school but now I wanna apply for another school with the same transcript.
How do I do that? Bearing in mind that the name of the other school have been boldly written on it.
Thank you

You simply request for another copy or explain yourself to the people in charge requesting for the possibility of having the address changed.

There is no point doing that, I'm basically saying to you to avoid asking people to contact you privately for chat, if you want to contact people feel free to do that.

I think you are just being courteous, abroad we usually say pm. So that we dont discuss people life in public. But if its something that can favour everyone else. The person that u shared with can also come here to share it...

Hi Justwise,
I actually have 'pm.ed' him. He isn't an agent. He is just like us. I guess that statement was just an innocent one in a bid to offer an advice.

Bro this thread is the fastest growing thread in this section purely because people make their contributions openly here, private conversations will not be available to others here to benefit from.

If somebody gives you wrong advice in private it's difficult to spot but when such happened openly here somebody will spot it.

I don't understand what your trying to say but thats the reason why you have a passport. If you've been to canada the US knows your travel history when they run your passport and vice versa.

Ok....true true over dere

@Justwise, no university will admit on a B1 visa. Its only colleges but you will not be given a sevis number. So how will you be in school without sevis. The lawyers will just eat your money and will not do anything.
Its a system I understand how it works.

If you are not asked dont say. Is there anywhere on your form that asks if you have been banned from usa? If yes say the truth cause theyll know they track people especially immigrants.

Canada only cares about money and criminal records of foreign applicants

They also want proof that you are valuable in your country and not just going to come here and sit down after what u do to stay in canada after you get it is up to u. But the before part is more important


There is nothing prayer cant solve(if you are a christian or in any religion)

Also there is this province application category some are looking for immigrants. I think quebec (Please browse more on it for info)
