Hello all, I just joined.
I got my BSc in International relations over 12 years ago and I have been running a business. I'm married with 2 kids.
I've been trying to read on immigration to Canada and it seems the study route is my best option.
My issues are:
1. I'm confused on weather to go for a pdg or masters program.
2. Funds: no sponsor and I do not have enough money to sponsor myself, my children and still have enough money required and at what stage will I have to show my proof of fund
Please can I get any advise on a way forward as I want to start the process as soon as possible.

Yes, it can.

Can the letter of Reference be addressed to " whom it may concern" rather than the visa Officer, Canada........ I intend to use my reference letter to two different countries. Thank you.

1. Master’s program will be best (academic progression).
2. You can either apply for yourself alone (if the fund will be able to take care of your application without dependants using them as home ties. But if not, get more funds. (Except you have funding/grant).
Also, you’ll show proof of funds alongside other documents for your application.

I landed on 13th and had similar experience cos its same flight, same take off and landing time, same documents was asked at the Lufthansa check in counter, almost same everything...

However, at POE(Toronto), they asked for:
Name of school
Name of program and if its coop
Tuition payment receipt(which I printed but didnt know how it disappeared. Showed them the soft copy in my phone)
Consent letter from spouse(for my son)
That's all.

I was given 3 docs...2 study permits and my work permit. He also advised me not to work more than 20hrs per week and to abide by the rules of the docs given to me.

Today would be my 3rd night of quarantine, so I'll zoom off tomorrow. Confirmed hotel booking price was $1018 but I got there to meet $904 and I gladly paid . Am using Crowne Plaza hotel, toronto.

These indians are stubborn oo, they're still travelling despite the ban. I saw more than 20 of them detained at the POE and the officers were asking them why they disobeyed the rule and some of them didnt even come with their covid test result. Shaa, las las, they were called for their docs.

This is all for now...

Thank God for safe landing.....

please do not panic they said on their site that they have a back load of medicals that need to be updated.My hubby did his own 25th March and it was uploaded on 6th may.So relax

Good day everyone, thanks for your continuous support. Pls I did my upfront medicals on the 26th and submitted my application on the 27th of April. I uploaded the medical form I got from IOM when submitting my application and I’m yet to see a notification that my medicals have been received. Note: IOM called me three days after to inform me that I passed my medicals and they have sent my result to the Embassy. Pls I’m worried on what to do? Thanks

Hello, this service is fairly new to firstbank and the Information is not available at every branch. Your sponsor needs to go to customer service and convince them to contact FirstContact or Hq for directions on how to get the certificate. The service costs 1,000 naira. Here is a picture of the form, contact me if you still need the pdf of the form.

It takes 2 working days to process. After which the form would be sent to your sponsors email or phone number via WhatsApp.

Firstbank would do their best to convince you that they don’t do it. It is up to your sponsor to also do his best to convince them that they do. My sponsor spent 4hrs in the bank doing this and the certificate was released the next day. Good luck.

May Canada favor you sis.

When you booked for the biometrics online, did you indicate the number of persons doing the biometrics?

Are you in Canada now

If you do upfront medicals before submitting your application approximately how long will it take before the medicals section on the application changes and acknowledges the medicals? Currently it says I do not need medicals and they will send me an email if that changes.

Thanks for the landing gist

May the land of Canny favor you

Quick one,
Did they ask you for PROOF OF ENROLLMENT LETTER, whether from the Airline you boarded, or the Immigration dept. of Nigeria or the Immigration dept. of Canada (CBSA)?

Go ahead and deposit the 10,000CAD into the GIC investment. It will show that you've made adequate financial arrangements for your proposed studies in Canada.


It will end in praise

What is GIC

GIC means Guaranteed Investment Certificate. A GIC is a Canadian investment that has a guaranteed rate of return for a fixed period of time. Many banks offer GICs and international students uses the GIC as a means of showing proof of adequate funds for their first year living expenses in the amount of 10,000CAD.

How do you go about it? Do you transfer from a Nigerian bank?

Sterling289128:

You should contact CIBC bank (Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce) for details on how to utilise the GIC investment. The bank will provide instructions on how you can create the GIC with them and how to deposit the money from your Nigerian account through a wire transfer.

I know a good number of Nigerian applicants who have used the GIC in their study permit application and were successful with it.

GIC or no GIC a 1 year bank statement is still going to be required for NSE. I see no essence in the GIC program. However if there's still going to substantial amount in your bank account even after GIC arrangement, then you're good to go.

there's no definitive timeframe for the update. It will be updated to pass at some point.

Hello,

Thanks for your response on getting mybankstatement from First Bank. Can you please send me the pdf of the form?

I would also like to ask what I am expected to write under Receipt Number and Transaction Reference Number in the form?

Thank you very much for a favourable response.

God bless you!

The receipt Number and transaction references would be generated after you pay. Either through pay direct or quickteller.
