Stevenssen:

Both are very good countries, with very good economies.

In terms of visa application, both are difficult. I think Australia might be slightly easier to get now than Canada due to higher number of people applying to Canada. Though you'll probably need an agent for the Australian visa.

In terms of salary and quality of life, there isn't much difference.

Canada is close to USA, Australia is close to Indonesia and New Zealand.

The other difference is the weather : Australia is known to have similar temperatures to us while Canada is very very cold.

Your decision.

Hello house, thanks to everybody here, I been a silent reader for a while and i have really learnt a lot. Please I just got admissiin to study 2years diploma in business in Ontario, i am a business but been working for my boss for over 8years. I am a married man 31yrs old with 2kids and i have a Statement of account of 6m+. I know that will not be enough as proof to be my own sponsor. So my boss has agreed to sponsor me. I will like to proceed with the visa application as l need to accept the admission and pay my tuition in 2weeks. My Question can my boss be my sponsor? Should I go ahead and start the application? I await your kind response God bless

Hello bro.. I have issues with this..
Going for a diploma wen u already have a bsc or HND is a step down.. you either go for masters in a university or go for a POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA(PGD) in a college.. if your sponsor will be your boss, fine but you have to explain vividly why he's sponsoring you, I will suggest you seek a family relation as a sponsor b.. Also for your wife and kids how do u tend to take care of them wen u leave..so these are the issues u need to look into. But for the diploma, not certain you will get the visa... Other suggestions can also be offered cos this is my own 2kobo

If your application is up to 3 or 4 weeks and you have gotten a BVL update already, just hope and pray for the best because a decision has been reached already and going by last year’s trend, it’s not a good one unless they have changed their style again.

Getting passport back depends on if there are no other scrutiny to be done on your documents. 1 week , 2 weeks and above.

Good morning family,

Just got MSc admission and need to tackle POF for visa application, I got a senior friend in Canada who is willing to support. Therefore, I would like to know how do I show how the money was got considering it will be a lump sum from not a close relative.

Pls house what do you suggest I do to perfect this?

Please, with the delay in response from CIC, can I Just do medicals before they respond ,in order not to waste time again when they respond?

Qudkom:

The least you're going to get is an acceptance deposit between $500- $1500 but you'll still pay the tuition regardless.

P.s: it's pretty much a waste of time coming into Canada and not enrolling fully in school. I can't count how many people have tried that and at your end get tracked down by the immigration.

Pls advice me, between Canada vs Australia, which should I opt for, considering long time goal, settling down n making money?

keneharry:

Please how do you calculate it..Thanks

Glenfiddich26:
Thanks for your response, your case is very different though. I have never been to any higher institution, my highest qualification is WAEC and I started working for my boss after high school.
Cant do a 4years degree atm, because of the duration and my age. No school will want to admit me. Hence the diploma which is shorter. My wife works and earn well and my boss promises to continue paying me till i graduate. I can still come back and manage the business. Hes sponsoring me becacause of my loyalty all this years and my wife has 2m soa whch l am giving her as upkeep aside her salary and also excluding my own 6m. Please l still need more imput from the house.

I saw that too. Fortunately, my Debit master card worked. You should try it.

Follow them up o, as a matter of fact, I am experiencing the same issue with Conestoga college. The level of nonchalance is alarming. Mine is 10 weeks now.

In my last message to them, I told them I will proceed to tag Canadian government officials on social media with my complaint if they don't give me a definite timeline to issue the refund(The initial timeline they gave was 6-8 weeks). They moved the refund to a new stage the same day and later told me it will take an additional 2-4 weeks.

So don't wait at all, follow up.
