Oghogho1313:
Many thanks for the candid feedback. I will keep these in mind.

I would appreciate more feedback from the house in terms of advise on how to move favorably forward.

Dame24:


Just the sponsor’s source that I mentioned in the letter.

Eilenora:
I am a bit unclear, my course says:

BMT1B - Business Management, London South
Start Date: January 04, 2021 End Date: August 31, 2022
Level: Graduate Certificate Program Status: Full-Time

As you can see, mine is a 2years programme but described as a graduate certificate on the offer letter which is contrary to your explanation of most 2 year courses being diplomas. What will my certificate say? I selected College Certificate on my IMM form not diploma. The options were: College certificate, college diploma and college applied degree.

You are coming to Fanshawe College.

I said most NOT ALL PGC are 8 months - 1 year and PGD usually 2 years. That was why I added a clause that school and program determines these things as well.

It does not mean you can’t have situations where there will be 2 years PGC. The school, program and degree type determines duration of these programs.

So back to your question, your program is a 24 months PGC as stated on your LOA. That’s fine.

What you selected on your IMM form is correct.
PGC = college certificate. You have nothing to worry about.how

What will appear on your certificate is Ontario College Graduate certificate.

I shared an image of how a fanshawe PGC certificate looks like about 3 pages back. All the best.

Hi Oghogho,
just to weigh in on the matter too, my background is in engineering and I am going for MBA, I got an AIP on September 10. Don't know about ur work experience but in my case I am a safety engineer for a company, I just argue that I had master the technical aspect but I was lacking in project management and financial skills which made me realize diversifying would assist me to have a fulfilling career.

Oghogho1313:


Thanks and Congrats on your AIP. That's no mean feat.

What was your profile like? Did you have all funds in one account or had investments. As per my SOP, I actually thought I did a good job explaining why I needed the MBA and the particular concentration within the MBA I would specialize.

Oghogho1313:


You are quite correct. To provide a bit of context. I applied in May and the elligibiity review was done a month later in June. So, from June to September no update reflected online via the ircc portal besides biometric done in August and medicals(Upfront) done in August. I hope they still give out approvals to everyone still waiting for approvals in the gcms notes. I am only saying its quite likely it might not be the case.

Timeline

Applied on 15th May
Biometric letter 16th May
Upfront medical 1st August
Send webform to update on deferment from Fall to Winter semester due to processing delays August
Biometric enrolment 24th August (Updated same day online)
Medical passed 27th August (after sending same via webform and email some weeks earlier)
Requested gcms notes on 1st September
received gcms notes on 23rd September (note that eligibility failed as at 10th June as that was when the entry was made in the gcms notes)

Are we saying those that got rejected did not submit with faith or did not back it up with prayers? The point is let’s leave this forum for information and practical responses and leave the religion part for our religious groups. Besides a denial can also be God’s way of saying not yet or not for you

Please i need an answer..is there any advantage in having a sibling in Canada who has PR?

Dame24:


No I do not have a work experience in the field.

Osemigho:


For student visa process? I’m not sure about that. I think it will make visa officers to raise eyebrows, particularly if the sibling is the sponsor. I will just mention the person in family form as living in Canada. Beyond this, I may just silent the person. I have only speculated sha.

House please what does this mean?

Counterfoil request: YES

Lekiboboe:

Hello,

U are welcome

3.5m ain't sufficient to study in Canada

Apart from tuition fee (in which International Student pay more than Domestic Students),

U need to show One Year Compulsory Living Expenses of $10,000 Canadian Dollar, that's equivalent to like 2.9 to 3.1 million Naira (Depending on Exchange Rate)

Do visit the website of the school you wanna apply to, Check their Tuition for International Students , Convert it to Naira, Add it up with the One Year Living Expenses ($10KCAD), that will give you an idea on what to Budget for.

Finally,
Since you are new to the thread,

Lekiboboe:

NO,
If u are a NIGERIAN, u don't need an English Test to apply for a PGD or M.SC in Canada,
Ignore it when you see it as an admission requirement for a program of ur interest.

NIGERIA is an English Speaking Country & ur medium of instruction from the University/Polytechnic you graduated from is English etc pls can you guide me on how to get admission in a Canadian University 08107639148

IELTS (English Test) for admission in Canada are meant for countries whose language or official language is not ENGLISH e.g India, China, Philippine , Vietnam etc.

Its only when you want to apply for a Canada Permanent Residency (PR) that its highly required of u to do IELTS test

If the school u graduated from is opened (Registrar Office) , U can get an English Test Waiver/Exemption letter from them I.e LETTER OF CONFIRMATION OF PROFICIENCY IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE, this is optional though

Frankrobbn1:



I don't give mere speculations here. I think its high time you all should understand my stance on any topic been raised here. If I am not too sure of a particular topic, I don't go into detail debating about it. I remember vividly and very clearly that I said it on this platform that the receipt of an AIP letter is NOT a guarantee that an applicant will be approved of the second stage. Many counterattacked my post and were obivoulsy thinking that I'm depriving people on this window from showing great happiness. However this is not the case, as I was merely advising applicants here from the wisdom of my knowledge and the number of applications and cases I see on a regular basis and the tricks that are likely to be employed by IRCC this fall 2020. I reiterate that IRCC are using this AIP as a means to lure applicants into paying their tuition fees for the survival of her economy. Do not begin classes until you have received the final verdict from IRCC. Please be properly guided if you've not been told before, a Visa officer can decide to start your ELIGIBILITY review afresh after receiving a complete application (biometrics enrollment details and medicals), this I have seen on numerous GCMS notes especially when a new VO picks up the file for a final review.


I'll be here to watch how things unfolds in no distant time.


As always, it will end in praise.

kasmilla:
Mr Frank I need your advice ,as a graduate with 2.2 in civil engineering . , Should I apply for masters programs or go for undergraduate University visa. Which one of them will be more quicker in getting a visa and less costly. I really need to leave this country.
