Hey guys, It's been a minute since I came on here. I thought about Nairaland and how I was always here when I started this travel journey in 2013. It took me eight years to eventually get my study permit, and I would say it was worth the wait. This is to encourage anybody thinking about giving up; please don't. I understand how frustrating it was to wait year after year and one rejection after the other.

If you are waiting on your study permit decision, please look for a skill to learn. When you get here, it is essential you have something you can do to earn some money on the side apart from the 20hrs a week you are allowed to work. Many students here do cash jobs to make money on the side.

Let me clear something up real quick; Canada is the land of milk and honey but trust me, you have to work like a mad man to get to that point where you'd enjoy it. School here isn't as hard as in Nigeria, but the workload is crazy. If your course is online, it is easier, but when you have to be physically present in school, it takes a toll on you. Make friends in school and meet as many people as possible; do not be an island when you get here. The difference between passing and failing a course can be friends willing to assist you with assignments and have study sessions with you.

Nigeria is hard, and Canada is way better in many ways, but that does not mean it is easy here. If you notice, many people here on Nairaland disappear after they travel, and I can tell you that it is primarily because of the new challenges you face here. Rent is monthly, so before you blink, it is time to pay the next; the semesters go by so fast that you have your next semester's tuition to pay in no time. Assignments are back to back, tests are every other week, and you still have to do your 20hr a week job plus the cash jobs.

I am not writing this to discourage anybody, I love Canada, and it's a beautiful place to live, work and build a family. I want you to understand that while you are leaving one set of problems behind, and rightfully so, this one is waiting for you here, too, lol.

Anyway, do not give up on your dream; Canada is more beautiful than you can imagine. It is so peaceful, and everything works. I pray that everybody reading this gets to experience their dream of moving here.

I don't know much about the immigration process, but if you have any questions about living in Canada, Thunder Bay, or how it feels like studying at Confederation College, please feel free to ask me here or shoot me an email.

Toceen2022:

No, don't try it. You can't have same application running concurrently, unless you withdraw before having the other. The fact is, It's not about New Portal or GC Key that determine how fast you'll receive a final decision.

Trip update.

Time to board right? and the head of the cabin crew is talking about how I cannot checking both my hand Luggages. He was really rude about it but I stood my ground and he eventually let me in. About 1hr into the flight he came to apologize to me talking about how sorry he was and how stressed they were. Anyway I no gree chop their food for the flight as a be local man. Make I no go purge for Paris. I also got Wi-Fi on the plane so I can check my emails and reply messages. We’d be landing in about 30mins or so. I’ll update y’all on what happens in Paris.

Wizzyfc:
Yes go ahead with the application, they will ask you to update your passport when a decision has been made and if they do not, simply submit both passport once you receive your PPR.

dobianyi:
Have you done biometrics? Has it been updated to completed? If yes, I think you just have to exercise some patience.

bullstriker:
Most post graduate programs require a background in Nursing. Few schools will offer such a program if it is possible.

If you are ready to submit your application and you intend to use the flutterwave barter platform, please try sorting out on or before Sunday, 17th of July, 2022

robertito7:

I actually paid 150cad for study permit application fee, I think that is the price without biometric, just send like 110 or 115 us dollars to your barter dollar card

Omorocky:
House please I would appreciate your inputs, The woman that helped me applied for admission is insisting I should not buy air ticket myself that I should tell the Agent that packaged the application to buy the ticket for me, I have sent my passport to Visa office for stamping waiting for return. But I don't understand their reasons for not wanting me buy ticket myself. Since I can get better deal on wakanow. I'm confused for their reasons. Ticket is getting more expensive every day. She told me the Agent knows how to package me better. I need advice please. Cuz I get better deal myself.

Chiziteremary:
Good morning all.

Thanks to all who congratulated me. I would like to share my timeline and what i did differently in my 2nd application because i believe this will help someone.

1st Application was submitted 1st Dec 2021
Refusal was recvd 25/2/2022

From my gcm notes i discovered what i did wrong was the fact that i used my brother as additional sponsor. Even though i am self sponsor but i decided to add my brothers account for additional comfort which wasnt necessary after all. I already paid 16kcad for 1st year fees and had sufficient funds to take care of the 2nd year fees and my upkeep in my personal account. The VO's concern with my brothers account was that his payslips werent included and there were lumpsums in his account. Well for some reason my broda didnt want to give me statement of his salary account. He only gave me statement of a join account with his wife where he saves money ( he lives in the USA)

What i did differently

I never wanted to use an agent because of the cost implication and because i believed i could do it myself but i was led by the Holy spirit to use @Frankrobbin. So i decided to go ahead with him, the guy is quite professional i must say though he is so busy that you need to keep calling his attention.

The guy advised me to get professional valuation for my land and building which i did. He also advised that based on my age i shouldn't have bothered with a sponsor outside myself or hubby ( i am over 45yrs). In addition he rearranged all my documents and made them easier for the VO to see all because i had lots of documents.

I highly recommend Frank any day because he is very very professional. I didnt give him breathing space, i must confess that i wanted my application submitted fast fast because my school was meant to Start May 9th.

I also want to appreciate @Anon123, @NorthernshoreLS. NorthernshoreLS thanks a lot, you were the person to 1st advice me to use Frank even though i didnt want to initially. This forum is indeed full of wonderful brothers and sisters.

My prayer is that we shall all get our PPR's soonest in Jesus name.

Amen

My application was handled by Mr Frank of F and R Global. When I wanted to start this process, I planned to use an agent from the get go because i wanted a smooth and successful application. My partner kept insisting on mr Frank, that she has read so many reviews on Nairaland and he’s the one she’ll work with.
So we contacted him and right from the first call until the final approval, I felt at ease. It was a smooth transition and as soon as all my docs he asked for were ready, he submitted immediately and did a few check-in with my partner (I have a tight schedule, so she was basically the point of contact).
There were some things we didn’t consider at first which I’m certain added to the successful approval of my study permit, Mr Frank brought a professional insight into this process.
Even after the approval, he has checked in to guide us on the appropriate steps to ensure my passport is stamped and my migration to Canada is smooth.
I highly recommend him, the whole process was a smooth one and approval was faster than expected.

Thank you @frankrobbn1 of F and R Global

Elolam87:
Good day to you all, please i am looking towards applying for Msc program in Canadian schools, but a travel agent told me that securing admission and visa to Canada university is more difficult than UK universities,and involve some other processes.The essence of going through this study route is to migrate with a family of 4. Can someone pls shed some light on this, suggest some schools or website link to read through.I don't want to waste the little funds I have with me. I don't want to make a wrong decision,pls
