SKEPTA:


Chief,with all due respect, this isn’t a nice thing to say at all
Truly,Everyone knows that he would most likely be denied because of lack of progression of studies.But for you to just outrightly clear him like this is a very unfair thing to do.He innocently came here for help and advice but instead of you to help him or ignore him if you’re unable to help, you decided that telling him straightforward that he’d be denied is the best thing to do.
There’s honestly no reason to be rude,If you’re unable to help him just ignore.I’m sure others would gladly help him

At least if you told him the reason why he’d ne denied,It’d be better.

Not fair to just tell someone off like that.We could all do better as regards how we treat each other on here.

I’m sorry if this comes as disrespectful.

Even albeit I know @austacus Is a nice person on this forum @skepta get point, you for still give am reason why he would get denied. It happens we all can not always Be right.

U are good to go..,it's only the quantity of documents you need to take note of

- Biometric Instruction Letter (1 copy)
- Appointment letter (1 copy)
- Your International Passport
- 2 Coloured Copies of ur International Passport Data Page (Print this before going to the Center, cos if u don't , u would be left with no choice than to print it at an outrageous amount at the center)

Once you enter the VAC office (based on your appointment time), you shouldn't spend more than 20-30 minutes cos some Applicants do have challenge of their Face not Focusing well at the Camera Lens when on the verge of capturing.

My brother, there’s nothing better than doing your research in any matter rather than relying on what people say. When it comes to study in Canada, getting the admission is the least of your worries, so don’t let the fact that your “Aunty” claims to know the “owner” of a school be the reason for choosing a school. What does that even mean? I have not heard of an owner of a post secondary institution before sha.

Here are the basic things you need to know.

1. Is the school a DLI (Designated Learning Institution?). Not all higher institutions in Canada are authorized to accept international students. So the first step is to Google DLI Canada and confirm from the list of schools which ones are DLI.
On this DLI matter there is another consideration. The reason why people go for masters in Canada is because you can get a Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP). Again not every school will qualify you for this so when you are checking for schools on the DLI list confirm that the school
And the program you are going for are DLI eligible.
I just did a google search and while the school Dominion college is DLI (authorized to accept international students), it is not PGWP eligible, meaning that when you finish the program you will not get a work permit and will have to come back to Nigeria immediately.

2. There’s a common reason for denial called purpose of visit. Visa Officers (VOs) often deny people a study permit if the program you are going for does not make sense as in based on your previous degree or your work experience. So for someone like you who read business admin or so to suddenly start going for personal support worker it is obvious that it does not show any progression either based on your career or your previous schooling.

My advice is that you take a breath. Start to do some research. You can start on this student visa thread maybe part 14 and be reading it small small. Many things will be slowly getting clearer for you.

@ Oga Austacus you could have tried to put him through. I was on this board a couple of years ago when you were in our shoes and I know you received a lot of help. It’s time to give back from your wealth of experience.

sorry but on this particular topic, I have a question. What if I am proposing to start my education all over again? Can't I just state the reason in my Sop? For Instance, I am proposing to apply to a course that is not even related to my previous course cause I found out I made a wrong choice and I want to start all over again.

Dear Forum,
I want to say This is one of the best forums I Have been On Canada application. Thanks to everyone who take out their precious time to advice people. The names are above many So I can’t mention. I have learned a lot too I must say.

There shall always be arguments & fights because we are humans & we réason differently so I got no worry when I see an argument.
They are often constructive & we learn.

Happy Sunday to everyone.
Praying everyone succeed in his/Her deeds
Don’t forget to pray because all in all, God had a final decision to soften whosoever reviews your application.
Thanks

You are welcome chief

Thanks again for your response. I will reach out now.

But please, it appears as though the content of what's in the link is for those who already have their study permit and are within Canada. Right?

Also, can someone help me confirm if the time period I have to enter Canada after my passport request and receiving my Visa is one year?

Thank you.

My response is based on this link
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/prepare-arrival/study-permit-conditions.html

If their is a one year entry rule, then you should be fine. Hopefully, someone else can clarify the one year rule for you.

You don't have to talk about internet connection or complicate things. I recommend you say the truth. You deffered because CIC couldn't give processing time and because of the pandemic. You already deffered before you recieve AIP and your program start date is fall of every year. I really can't tell you what to do. But yeah, send me a PM. We'll call IRCC on Tuesday.

PPR means passport request.

Goodluck

I once checked the US, it’s free. You don’t even need to book a rendezvous Or suffer to call . You can walk in to the VFS & do biometrics in minutes.
But know Africa & migration.

Rock247:
Good Morning Everyone,

Please I have been trying to book an appointment for Biometrics to no avail. It's showing "no available slots for applicant".
I tried calling their number but it is switched off. I tried most options available on the vfs site but none worked.

Is there any other person experiencing this? and is there a solution or any other way to contact them about the biometrics?

I am seeing September 2021..... Shouldn't it be 2020?

No reason Thanks anyways. I don't just have a good idea about it. She only told me Canada are looking for psw and they pay them well. That I should apply

Austacus:


Pin this comment.

You won't get your visa for PSW.

Thanks man. I appreciate

Bro the problem is that I don't know the reason you just said straight that I will be denied visa. If you can please tell me what to do I will gladly appreciate it

Austacus:


It's a pity in this generation, when you tell people the truth and being straightforward, they term you to be rude.

Bro, it cringes me how some of y’all use God's names.

I know ”God is the greatest above all”, he gave us the wisdom to see the foresight and avoid mistake, if you fail to do it and you call Gods name, it's a waste of time and abuse of his name.

Thanks alot bro. Never had an idea on this. I didn't even envisage traveling outside Nigeria because I know it's very hard getting visa. My aunty just made it look easy that's why I thought getting the admission will make me get visa fast. I guess I have to look for cheaper schools for masters since I already have a Bsc.

CANADIAN EMBASSY HAS NOT RETURNED MY PASSPORT AND I NEED TO APPLY FOR STUDENT VISA FOR ANOTHER COUNTRY

Dear Nairalanders,
I applied for Canada study visa but was denied. Sir to Covid-19 pandemic leading to business lockdown and restrictions as you know I havent been able to retrieve my passport from vfs office and Canadian embassy.
Due to urgent need for application to another country I am planning to declare the passport missing then replace it at passport office following the process. Someone had told me that that can land me on travel ban for 5 years.
Do you think same too? Do you think there could be huge penalties to That? Please advice me candidly!
Also not that I have call, Twitter, mail to both vfs and the embassy. All I usually get was automated responses that says they respond in 10 working days.

Thanks for your usual assistance, I'm still counting on you.

Thanks @JustMellow, I have a Nigerian International passport I hope it would be enough as proof of residence

JustMellow:


Hello Sisikemi23,

Everybody needs to show proof of citizenship or residence status whether being a citizen of the country or not, especially when it has to do with immigration.

Many may only think the birth certificate is met for demonstrating age accuracy or identity confirmation and the international passport for visa issuance, but these helps an immigration officer also ascertain one's nationality.

I was only asking so people may be sure on how to advice you and as well help others in future who may find themselves in same situation.

However, I was expecting a more specific or direct response that reference to either your birth certificate and/or international passport issued by NIS.

Back to the discuss, since your uncle has always been your sponsor and can evidently substantiate the claim, you seem to be good in terms of sponsorship.

You don't necessarily need to valuate your landed property but if the cost isn't too much to bear, then you may consider doing it. An advantage of doing it is that it demonstrate the worth of the property and could pass a subtle signal based on level of establishment to the VO.

All the best

They accept 3rd class?

YOU CANNOT PROVE YOUR TIES TO YOUR RESIDENCE, in short your application will get a decision as Fast as a bicycle with no brakes.

Kill the thought entirely and return home to apply or Tell the person if it isn't really YOU.

Good day everyone.

Please I have few questions.

1. In the titution/room and board section. Should I include the money for one year or two years? Considering that I have the full money to cover my 2 year program.

2. I being sponsored fully by my parents but I start working about 5 months ago. Should I include the statement of account from my salary account? I have less than 100k there.

3. Is it necessary to get a reference letter from my current place of employment (because I was refused one after I requested).

Thank you all

@Sisikemi


This is Nigeria,

Things are scrutinized here 100 Times,

Everybody is a Suspect here,

In Europe , You can apply to go to Asia and Your Passport with Visa of the place you are is a Strong Tie,

In Nigeria , You Can get That Thing in You Call Passport while You are sleeping,...

Nobody takes us Serious here,

Even the Approvals we get is Just to fulfill international Relationships... we don't have that Charisma as a people of a Nation.

I can Guarantee you That if You have aa Liberian Passport , You will go to the US over a Nigerian Passport....


Not worth The stress Dear(if you be babe o).

Quit/Don't Even Try.

My One Cent advise ,

Use your parents as Sole sponsor,

Add their letter of Consent to sponsor and remain Resolute in the sponsorship

It actually reduces the explanation you have to make ...

OR..................

Have the FUNDS sent completely to you account, with reference on SOP , That the VO should have a look at the Origin of the FUNDS, am sure if the names Tally, ....Like FRANK will say, "IT WILL END IN PRAISE"
