Hello gurus in the house, please I have an urgent question..

Please I'm interested to know more about the bolded. How did you not know? Did you have EE in progress while you got study visa?

The last time I know, You are allowed to have both both EE and Student visa application. It is called dual intent. However, you will still need to prove your intention to leave Canada in your study permit application.

I did not submit both though. I gathered all the necessary documents before leaving Nigeria, and submitted it two weeks after arrival in Canada as a masters student. I also used my student visa medicals.

2017 was a very good year for EE because lowest ITA score (413) and processing times (I think two weeks) were recorded that year. Mine was 440 and 2 months respectively. I guess I was lucky to have listened to my inner mind when it told me to do it. All the best.

Hello guys, so I submitted my study permit application yesterday June 6th, I got a letter today asking me to go to a VAC for my biometrics

what does this mean? and I also thought medicals come first before biometrics?
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Sanovsky007(m): 11:16pm On Jul 07, 2020
@Obanidavid

Please any update on your biometrics?

Obanidavid:


@MyRace

Sincerely, you have expressed my thoughts. I wish to share my testimony likewise that I submitted my application June 4th, received request for biometrics on a Saturday about two days after submission and later got a request for medicals on July 1st while still awaiting the VFS in Nigeria to give my biometrics.

Let us know that no two applications are the same just as our faces differ. The commonest thing I observed here is many people often kill themselves in fear of nothing that exist. I belong to the Winners family and certainly, I believed my application will be different and I will return again to share my final testimony.

Personally, I thank God for the journey so far and appreciate every contributors on this forum. I have learned so much and am indeed grateful. I will return soon before the end of the month to inform the house of my successful Visa application.

IT IS MY YEAR OF BREAKING LIMITS

It means nothing, u are on point

U get such letter 24 hrs after submitting ur Study Permit Application but their NIGERIAN offices in Lagos (Lekki) and Abuja is yet to open due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, so Booking an Appointment ain't possible for now , hopefully its gonna open soon since other VFS Canada offices in some countries are beginning to open

Its that Biometric Instruction Letter (Printed) u will take to the VFS Office together with ur International Passport

That's why Lot's of Applicants in the forum are anticipating for the opening of VFS (VAC) Offices in Lagos & Abuja(NIGERIA)

Do read the LETTER from Beginning to the End, u will find some important & vital info there

Its very perfect to use the regular SOA which carries the total debit, total credit and available balance in the account. It is true that not all commercial banks in Nigeria issue the Ticket ID and Password. The applicant will have no issue using the normal SOA provided that its genuine. The visa officer will still go ahead to verify the authenticity of the bank statement by sending an email across to the head office of the bank.



It will end in praise.
Alright, Roger that
Thanks for Clarification
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by YemmyPOG: 1:30am On Jul 08, 2020
Actually i am a civil servant with Academic background in Accounting but now trying to pursue Master's in public administration. So the company policy or board decision can not suffice for me. I think I will go with Sales agreement option. Infact I am working on getting the right document for that purpose already. Thanks for your insight.
quote author=JustMellow post=91479674]

Hello YemmyPOG,

If the name of your boss didn't reflect in any of your documents or mentioned, or reflects different in the transfer history, a sales agreement document/loan repayment document can come resourceful.

But if it negates the aforesaid, then get an authenticated letter of financial support from your boss stating the company's stand and policy in either supporting their employees with financial assistance to further their study or as a friendly/soft loan that will be deducted from your salary with effect from your resumption prior after your study.

The letter should be backed by an authenticated agreement endorsed by the company's lawyer and/or with a board resolution letter approving the funds.

Insofar, the implication of the statement in the second paragraph is that it also demonstrate a tangible home ties of a guaranteed employment securement and returning home to repay back the soft loan. This makes more sense if the prospect study focus correlates with the current employment.

To this end, the idea can be tweaked to meet the desired preference relating to the most suited means possible.

All the best

Well-done @frankrobbn1

As regards this MyBank Statement Ticket,
Is it that, not all banks give applicants the Mybank statement ticket?

Cos a guy who submitted his Application last month had a sponsor who uses Polaris Bank, they sent the Mybank Statement ticket to the Canadian Embassy, and the Sponsor was also giving a Bank Reference Letter addressed to the Canadian Embassy,
but Polaris Bank didn't give his Sponsor the Ticket ID, they only gave him a Bank Statement having the following details

At the Top- left hand side, they wrote

mybankStatement® | date | Page 1

Summary info
Role - Sponsor
Account name - Sponsor's name
Address
Tenor - 6 months
Currency - NGN

Available balance -
Book Balance -
Total debit-
Total Credit -

Then the 6 months Bank statement, followed...

I guess it is ok he used this ?

Thanks

I did mine in Polaris and I got d ticket ID sent to my mail direct and a print out containing the ticket ID. You can't do my bank statement without a confirmation printout of d ID because that is what you submit online as your SOA

Alright, Probably some activities of some banks and their branches differ based on facility available etc., cos this Polaris Bank Branch was like the Mybank Statement Ticket ID is meant for the Canadian Embassy,
Only the Bank Statement of acct. was sent to the e-mail of the Sponsor having the heading mybank statement® and some other details that portrayed the bank statement is being addressed to the Canadian Embassy
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Frankrobbn1: 9:51am On Jul 08, 2020
Godsblessings:
please is it the embassy that will request for this ? or one can just send the statement of account to the embassy without request from the embassy? do we have to send through courier or email? can this be done for tourist /conference as well?

You can submit either of the two (statement of account or Mybank Statement with ticket ID and password). Most often if the Visa officer has concerns that the SOA submitted with an application is fraudulent. They usually request for the MyBank Statement which will enable them have access to the transactions carried out in the account for a period of 1 year.

Note: the visa officers don't have the ability to know your actual available balance after the date MyBank statement was generated by the bank.

Pls, why did u say it shouldn't exceed this week? Personally want to delay my application for 2 more weeks cos I am expecting another offer somewhere.
Again, Thompson Rivers University says Data Science program will not be online, meaning I must resume by September.

You've very limited time to file for your VISA application in view of the current processing times which have been increased to 8 weeks now. Since you're waiting for a decison to made on your admission at TRU in the upcoming weeks, your best bet is to defer your acceptance to Winter as this will give you ample time to prepare and package your application tightly.

Good evening house,

Please can someone from Nigeria travel to Ghana to do biometrics?


You can do biometrics in any country, it mustn't be in your home country. If Ghana can grant you entry into their country, you can complete it there.

Biometrics collection outside Canada
If you can’t give your biometrics due to a location closure near you or a service disruption, don’t go to another biometrics collection service unless we tell you to. This includes

Canadian ports of entry
other international biometrics collection locations, like a visa application centre (VAC)
If you have a biometrics appointment scheduled

at a VAC, the VAC will notify you if your appointment is cancelled
at a US Application Support Center (ASC), all ASCs are closed until further notice
When biometrics collection resumes, you’ll have to make a new appointment at a VAC or ASC as soon as possible to avoid delays. You won’t need a new BIL.

But this is also on their site

Then you ought to be super fast with your plans. More so, do your best to include an upfront medicals so as to speed up the application process. Although you might still face some delays in processing of your visa due to biometrics enrollment, as VAC are yet to reopen.

As regards IELTS, it is being waved for Student's from Nigeria by most schools cos they know NAIJA is an English - speaking Country,
but
if its possible, try get a LETTER of PROFICIENCY in English language from the sch. U graduated from. Its only when u want to apply for PERMANENT RESIDENCY u need IELTS compulsorily

As regards schools that waive application fee for international students, am 100% certain of only one school,
Cambrian College of Arts & Technology, Sudbury, Ontario (Application fee is waived for International Student in this school)

Though there are other schools, the likes of
- UBC
- Royal Roads University, British Columbia
-Mount Allison University, Sackville – New Brunswick (mostly for Undergraduates)


Some schools also waive application fees if an alumnus of such schools refer you when applying.

Some of the schools are:

- Fleming College, Peterborough - Ontario
- Centennial College, Toronto - Ontario
- Conestoga College, Kitchener - Ontario
- Mohawk College, Hamilton, Ontario

It is advisable to thoroughly read requirements, eligibility and have a check list of all documents required when applying. That way, you can maximize the opportunity at one go and reduce risk of not being admitted.

All the best
