urgently renew your passport if you intend travelling this fall.

Bblight:
Good afternoon everyone.
Please my passport will expire on the 22 of September 2022 and I intend sending my passport to ircc office but it was written that I cannot be issued a Visa beyond the date on my passport.
Please If I plan to travel in September is there anything I need to worry about or I should renew my passport before sending to ircc office.

Hello everyone, please someone help me and explain the meaning of MP. I hear people saying they mailed mp but I don’t know the meaning: I used a licensed immigration agent to apply for my visa since 23th January. Eligibility started since March, no news again. I want to tell my agent to mail MP but I need to understand what that means.

Eligibility started: April 28, 2022
PPR: May 28, 2022 email came this morning by 9am
First time applicant with no travel history
Sponsored by my elder sister (31 years old)
I am not married and I have no kids only family ties I have are my parents and siblings.

Submitted my personal bank statement with about 7m
My sister’s bank statement with 21m
Landed property worth 15m
Poultry farm worth about 25m not sure again
Receipt for full tuition fee for the first year (tuition was paid from my sister’s account)
My sister’s Pension certificate
My sister’s evidence of employment
My own evidence of employment (pay slips, work ID, appointment letter, introduction letter)
IELT with 7.5 overall score
Family pictures
My birth certificate and that of all my siblings
SOP
Letter of explanation for lump sum in sponsor’s account (property sold)
Sponsorship letter and affidavit of sponsorship
Letter of explanation explaining all the documents I submitted for the application
These are the key documents, LOA and others were submitted too


As an agent it has always been my job to tell my clients to be patient and relax, but when it came to my turn, it was hard for me to follow my own advice Knowing how unpredictable the Canadian process works.

So I put all my trust in God because nobody can guarantee Canada study permit except God! I drew strength from Psalm 33, each time I get worried I will pray and reassure myself of God’s promises to me with that particular bible verse.

Along the line, I discovered this thread on nairaland and started coming here to draw strength from people’s PPR testimonies. I am happy to share my testimony today. Lol I was at the Gym when the email came � people were looking at me crazy � I ran home immediately to share the news with my family.

I know how you feel reading this right now, you will pray a silent prayer and then go and check your portal. Don’t worry God will come through for yo, with God you can never lose

With God you can never lose! when God shows up He shows off. My God never fails, Odogwu!!

ANGELAREE:
Please I need help
I want to change my course in Conestoga but I’ve already paid tuition deposit for the previous course I accepted
Will the money go to the new course if I change it and how can I change it

.
You will have to log into Conestoga college student portal with your username and password to decline any offer already accepted. Yes if you decide to switch program , any deposit made will be automatically transferred to the new program as long as you decline the first offer before the deadline set aside for it.
Lastly for you to accept another offer into a new program you will have to decline the first offer.

Hi guys, please can I get samples of Affidavit of support and letter of sponsorship?

Hi house. I appreciate all your efforts. Someone once posted here that he was denied the Canadian student visa because he went to the US on a tourist visa few years earlier and had a baby there plus some other reasons. I would like to know if the US and Canada share information. A friend’s agent claimed my friend was married (when he isn’t, just to prove home ties) while applying for tourist visa to the US,though he was denied twice. So he recently started this Canadian study package but confused on the information he should provide. Can he start on a clean slate without reference to all the information he provided in his US tourist application? All contributions will be highly appreciated.Thanks

Congrats!! @Crystalng

My siblings are studying in the UK.

Do I need to mention them or provide any documents relating to them in my application?
...my parents will be my home ties

Via email.

U.S, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Australia and Canada share information. So for sure, they will know that your friend's applications to the U.S were denied, but I’m not sure if they will share the applications' content.

Hello. Looking for a place to land or stay while searching for your house (in Calgary), kindly book your accommodation using this link:

https://www.airbnb.com/h/mai08

It's very affordable and service is outstanding.

MP simply means a member of the parliament. An MP can help inquire if the application has exceeded the processing time. Note that they cannot influence the decision on your application and cannot expedite the processing of your application.

POF cover letter had 3 tables (Year 1, Year 2, and Summary) showing the breakdown of the cost of attendance and funding. Subheadings were then used to explain each source of funding and bank accounts used.
The POF cover letter can have all the explanations for your POF, so you do not have to replicate it in your LOE, thereby freeing up some space/pages in your LOE.

In your LOE and POF cover letter, don't leave anything to the imagination of the VO. When you allow them to make their own deductions/assumptions, it might not always be in your favour. Explain everything as succinctly as you can.

MPOWER Loan
They offer up to a maximum of 100,000 USD (50k per academic year)
Schools supported by MPOWER Financing:

With the CIBC student deposit program, one can open a Canadian bank account and make a one-time transfer of CAD 1,000 - CAD 20,000 before arriving in Canada, but the transfer has to come from an account bearing your name. You then activate the CIBC student deposit account on arrival in Canada and all your funds are immediately available to u, unlike in GIC.

https://www.cibc.com/en/special-offers/international-student-bank-account.html

Some Canadian schools have International Student Advisors (Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants or Regulated International Student Immigration Advisors) that support international students for free in their study permit application process and beyond. Find out if your school has any and make very good use of them. Some offer regular Q&A sessions, information sessions, phone/video appointments, and support via emails.

Watch lots of YouTube videos on Canada study permit application (step-by-step filling of the online application, LOE, POF, home ties, etc)

I'm very grateful to all those that contribute here on Nairaland. You are doing a marvellous job. There is sooo much information on this Forum. Taking the pains to start from page 1 of this thread is very rewarding. You can always copy/save/screenshot relevant information you may subsequently need, so u won't have to start searching or requesting them later.

I wish everyone speedy processing of applications and continuous rain of PPR!!!

We will surely win this battle. God will put it in the hearts of the vos to favour us.

Thank you mom, i really appreciate your motherly concerns . We will win this battle very soon in Jesus name.
