Have you lived close to an indian community? Would have sent you to Wolverhampton or Birmingham during Diwali

I think it started from walmart employment row. Allegedly, some Canadians indicated that bosses in walmaet recruit their kind, which is mostly made up of one india tribe (those that tie head wrapper). Then, it rolled over to indians that do not obey simple rules like driving, queuing, using the right bins, and causing noise pollution/littering everywhere during diwali.

Also, it was stated that @ednut1 saw some indians taking a shit at the beach in ON

Honestly not all indians are bad, but most are noisy and always act as if they are the better immigrants / assistant caucasian

Guy, you get bad mouth

That's not a trash can, y'all should stop believing everything you read online.

Hello Everyone,

Please I need help with a medical appointment.

My sister's application is completed except for her medicals (the previous one expired), She got a notification for a medical request on the IRCC portal as well as an email from Nairobi requesting her medical sheet. Eligibility is completed as well.

Her school informed her that her admission would be cancelled by the 4th of August with no deferral option if she did not submit her study permit approval. The earliest appointment she has with IOM is the 11th of August, She requested an extension with the school and was approved for the 10th of August.

Please advise what she can do, or if there is anyone who has an earlier appointment that can be swapped, please send me a direct message, we are willing to pay.[b][/b]

thank you

She can go very early to IOM with the medical request tomorrow morning and plead with them, she'll be attended to.

What's really wrong with these politicians?

Was he planning to start a car sales business or what coz this is pure madness.

Gbenag2000:
Good morning everyone,

Please I need an advice on what to do and it’s connected to a visiting visa application although I know we discuss study options here.

The application was submitted in 2021 August and got a passport request days ago. Because the initial passport applied with expires early next year, she applied for a new passport which just came out yesterday.

For sending her passport, can she send the new passport for stamping perhaps, she can get more duration or it must be the old one that was used when initially submitting the application.

Thank you

The new passport will have the number of the old passport indicated. The 2 passports can be sent together with a note, so they can update their records and stamp on the new one.

Army2022:
Good morning.
For Individual TCC , please who knows if we can use FIRS? must it be SIRS.

SIRS issues for individuals. FIRS handles corporate

Chysunshine1:
My people please come to my rescue. My friend got her visa after her enrollment date has passed. Unfortunately the school has withdrawn her admission. Okay, she went for deferment and it shows that there is no opening in the school even to 2025.She don't know what to do next. Please anyone with advice on way forward should please come to our rescue.

may99:
Get admission for another school, maybe for sept 2023 or Jan 2023. Then inform IRCC of the change. And maybe possible extension of the study permit.


She has it, so she just needs to find an admission and she’ll be fine. Goodluck

This is correct but let her arrive Canada before updating IRCC else it'll be a fresh SP application

Teephour:
Happy Sunday to you all.

Please I want to confirm how to track my application online.

My application is being handled by an agent and I don't have access to the portal, but I was trying to track my application and I was asked to input my UCI number and I notice I saw something like that on the biometrics instruction sent to me and I inputted what I have on it but it telling me that UCI numbers contains hypen but what I have on the biometrics letter does not have hypen. Please how can I track my application.

Why not get your details from the agent? You pay someone to do a job for you and get scared to demand details that are actually yours. I don't understand.

How else do you expect to track the application without the required details?

Nancymikky:
Please I urgently need an advice on this: a savings and loan cooperative society that am doing daily contribution with, paid 600,000 naira of my savings with them into my account ( that I want to use as my proof of fund), will it cause a red flag for me? And do I need to explain it to the IRCC Visa officers in my SOP.??

Depends on the range of amounts that have been dropping into the account. If you've not been receiving that kind of amount within the statement period then it's a lump sum

Explain that you've belong to a contribution thrift club for XYZ number of years and that was your turn to be paid, citing some previous month's you've paid the contribution too.

Does anyone have a contact in Abuja VFS or email address.

Passport was sent via DHL and delivery confirmed since Thursday.

Uptill now, VFS has not sent a mail

Did you add all the necessary documents needed in addition to your passport? You can get their contacts on their website

SLOVFO:
I didn't count the weekend. I only counted the working days. All things been equal your passport should be at the VAC by now. Send a mail to Canadang@vfshelpline.com requesting for your tracking number,if you have not done so already.

Please how does one use the tracking number?

pristinee:
You are welcome, I just figured out the new portal this week, asked on here, no response from anyone, LOL ............. I am currently in same stage as you though, about to submit my application. Based on testimonials I have seen here, I will settle for the new portal.

You can read up on the 2 portals as well as watch YouTube videos in order to make your decision, you mustn't wait for people here to choose for you.

Personally I think the new portal is pretty straight forward especially for solo applicants

oluwjuwonlo:
Thank you for the response, in my last application there was nothing like a visa ban in the reason they gave, I even apply for my gcms note then absolutely nothing like a visa ban in the reason stated, I can even post my last application refusal reason, I am surprised with the prior refusal statement, someone even said maybe my sponsor one of them may have been ban before, so, as a result, they refused me due to that reason, am still surprised, attached is my last refusal reason, there was nothing like procedural fairness letter which is the norm that proceed a ban

Sorry about this development. In the previous application that you speak of, did you handle it yourself or an agent did it for you?

Inksun:
Do you mean June 2023 for September 2024?

Yes

sudo1986:
I used new application portal to apply, but I cant create applicstion tracker. It is generating error. Does that mean anyone that used nee portal can mot create status tracker?

It works with new portal too

Gentlesoul3268:
What of if someone gotten admission and already paid his tuition deposit fees, and gotten his visitor visa approved can that person travel to Canada on visitor visa and apply inside Canada ?

That means he is still in Nigeria. Check some pages back, there's someone here that got his VV approved recently after gaining admission too, so he went ahead and applied for a SP and got it in less than a week.

Your bro might as well apply now

cadno:
Really !!!! Wow
I just told him , he is in shock. Because he is going for a family member's Wedding . The member is a Citizen ( PR to citizens )

So how easy will the process of converting from Visitor Visa to Student visa ??. Because he will just Resume the school program immediately rather than coming back to Naija for the processing of Visa again. That takes care of POF issues.

Please explain more. I will appreciate 🙏

I know someone that landed on a visitor's visa with the hope of finding work then switching to a work permit. Unfortunately he couldn't get an LMIA approved job so rather than leaving he got admission & switched to a study permit.

Tell your bro to inform his host of his intentions, I guess he can stand in as a sponsor (that should take care of POF). Coz he still has to show IRCC he can afford to study.

AskGod07:
Hello 2kurupt, please can you share with the sample of your affidavit of sponsorship

Go to an experienced business centre located beside a court premises, they've loads of templates.
Just tell them what you want and they'll edit your details into it, then you stamp at the commissioner for oaths office in the court

CindyByFine:
I hope to too...yet to submit my application.

I wish you the best in your application. Why haven't you submitted though? Try and get it submitted before the summer rush begins

Gentlesoul3268:
Can you shield more light about using visitor visa to school in Canada? Are you in Canada already

There are many people in this situation

I am not in Canada already, am for fall intake this year.

You can't use a visitor's visa to school rather If you're on a visitor's visa and already in Canada, get admitted into a school then update IRCC with your LOA while applying for a SP, it'll be granted without hassles.

chithec:
This is not correct

So what's the correct info?
Am headed to NBCC so I know what am saying

victorVIC1:
Please is it still possible to apply for September intake as their school fee is quite affordable?

Applications are closed for September and January. Start checking from June for 2024 September entry

cadno:
Hello Everyone, I have gained a lot of information here.

But is traveling to Canada for a fully paid program , so an idea came that he can convert the Visa while there.

Yes he can. When he is already on ground in Canada
