Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 12 by PendD: 5:25pm On Jul 24, 2017
I don't really think so. When one is filling the web form, It is requested to fill where the visa is treated. I guess this is an indication for tracking purpose. What I don't understand is why these applications are not attended to.
Austinpee4:

That tracKing ID only shows where your biometric completion information is sent to be updated on your account and most likely where your TRV will also be issued when your study permit is approved. The study permit application(online) can either be processed in Lagos,abj or Ghana. Only paper applications are forwarded to Accra visa office for processing which will show the GHASTU code.

Good evening house,
a quick question. .....pls has anyone had a tracking ID that's ......CALASTU****1? and where is this gonna be processed since it's not bearing the Ghana code which looks like GHASTU****?

It appears the CALASTU applications are taking longer than the waiting periods. Pls, indicate if you have CALASTU application tracking code and have heard from IRCC feb/march/april/june applications (Online).

You can get this codes through the messages sent by vfs after biometrics.



Thanks for figuring this out. (so it is a kind of general problem?) My own is CALASTU too and I have not heard from them and I applied on March,

I have decided to order GCMS note if I did not hear from them by tomorrow.

Happy Sunday guys!

May this new week bring more good news of approvals, positive updates of our applications and ultimately give the hopefuls peace of mind! A great week ahead.

Hello Austinpee4, Osmeigho, Canadian nurse, jnywas02 and all other Gurus in the house.

From the information I got from several blogs and colleagues.

I was told that i have to apply for Visitor visa inorder to enroll into my ESl program. Which after completion of the program, I'm eligible to apply for a study permit within Canada without possibly going back to my country. This rule strictly apply to visitors going for ESL or short term program which is a pre-requisite to their undergraduate degree program.

I was told that i can't be given study permit for a short term pre-requisite program from here.


It's also noted on the cic website here number 3.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=483&top=15

That visitors that completes a pre-requisite program or short term program is very much eligible to apply for study permit within without going back to their country to apply, while other visitors that never studied a short term program in Canada are to apply at Los Angeles.

Is Nigerians Al's eligible to change their status from Vistor visa to student visa after completion of short term program


Please I want to know if this information above is true.

Thank you as i hope to hear from you soon.

While I am not a VO, it is extremely unlikely for a Nigerian to be given a visa for an ESL program. You are likely to be refused for "purpose of visit", particularly since you can study ESL in Nigeria or any other African country. It is almost unjustifiable to apply for a TRV or study permit with the premise of going for an ESL program. Not sure what convincing argument you can make to the VO for this purpose.

well i was given a conditional acceptance letter that's stated that after completion of ESL program, i can now gain a direct admission into my undergraduate degree program.

Do you mean if I should apply for a Visitor visa based on that I'm going for a family visit since my brother is a permanent residence of Canada and he sends me an invitation letter. When i get to Canada i can now enroll into my 12weeks Esl program after completion of the program then gain a direct admission. I can now apply for study permit within Canada.
Do you mean it's not possible, i won't be given study permit if i should do that?

please reply as soon as possible. thank you

We also have very kind guys here who have been helping with SOP review, you may decided to reach any of them to help review yours if you don't have a lot of time and are at the verge of submitting your application.

Kind regards.

Hello sir, congratulations on the approval of your TRV application. I also wish to congratulate all other successful applicants.

Please, feel free to send me a PM. I'm currently doing my graduate program at Queen’s and would be glad to assist you.

Sometimes, I find it challenging to respond to PMs, in which case you can drop your email address so I can get in touch with you.

Cheers!

Oh I think I better understand your question. You are not applying for a visa as an ESL (English as a Second Language) student. You are applying for a visitor visa to visit your brother, and then you intend to enroll in an ESL after which you'd apply for a study permit.

If you do receive the visitor visa, you can indeed enroll in an ESL program (or any other educational program less than 6 months).

I know that while on a visit visa to Canada you technically can apply for a Canada study permit (to a Canada Consulate somewhere in the US); I'm not sure if I'd recommend this option. It is up to you if you wanna go this path. Given that you would be applying while in Canada with your PR brother, you would need to make a very strong case to the VO for why they should issue you this visa. If I were the VO, I'd assume that it was your plan all along to not go back to Naija even before you applied for a visit visa.

Now as someone mentioned a few pages ago, it is indeed true that Nigerian citizen visa applicants are usually treated better when they are applying for a visa from a third country (assuming they are legal residents in said third country, e.g. on student visa, work visa, etc edited: not sure about applying while on a visiting visa though). Just keep in mind that your application may raise some red flags to the VO, given that you left Nigeria to visit your PR brother and upon reaching Canada decided to not go back home. This may create the impression that your intent was always to go to Canada and not return home.

It's a toss up. Your call. If you were my brother and your visit visa got approved, I'd advise you to use the visit visa to Canada, and then come back to Lagos to apply for a student visa. This act would show the VO that you respect the terms of your visa even though you have family ties to Canada.

My two cents. Once again, I am not a VO and every applicant is viewed differently by the VO, depending on the applicant's context.
