Pls gurus in the house.l submitted my study visa app on 11th September and l have not been called for medicals. Is it normal.

Hello,

Kindly note that delay is normal. But I would advice you book medicals and get it done and send to IRCC so you don't delay your application the more. Medicals has expiration of 1year, so you have nothing to loose by doing it early. Available dates are getting scarce

Hello,

This is another good point. Sometimes we always think is all about docs. Now if the company doesn't have tax clearance certificate maybe as the company isn't remitting tax directly to the FIRS as the case maybe, how will ircc believe such company exist.

Now, as someone into busying and selling(I guess), how do you prove you pay tax? Some use there waybills and receipt to show they pay tax when the purchase their goods. This are the things you have to explain in your SOP. Also, to back up the explanation that you're paying tax when you purchase goods, you can get the manufacturer to issue you a letter of identification or recommendation that highlighted your existences and even make comment on tax payment in the letter. With this, you can establish the existence of the company.

So lets be creative in our application and not create holes of doubt in Vos mind.

Great take! Yes, you're right about the tax clearance certificate and these are valid points, but I didn't include it in mine. To show that the company exists and is still operating, we had to update our status on CAC's portal. It had been showing "inactive" when searched previously.

I don't know if Canada checks if a company is active or not, but I'm very sure UK does, because that's exactly what affected my brother.

Why not go directly to the website of the airline and do your bookings yourself. And save yourself the agent Wahala and commission

So I'm ngl, your question isn't straightfoward. Do you mean that you are having issues compressing it to 2mb?
Or you are trying to upload the 2mb file and it isn't going? Or you wanna know how to reduce file size to 2mb?
I don't know how to do that bro, I am even thinking of getting an agent cos I don't know how to go about that I mean compressing my documents to 2mb

Guys who knows about the Graduate Diploma in Business Administration in Memorial University of Newfoundland MUN.

The program is a 5 course program and can be completed in 2 semesters.

Please knows about this program? Hope it's PGWP eligible? Though in DLI website all MUN programs are PGWP eligible.

My concern is that it's only a 5 course program.

Compressing docs is not an easy tasks especially for the new portal with 2mb max permission.

First ensure your POF statement isn't part of the documents you are attempting to shrink because it can cost you the application if the information on the statement are not legible to comprehend - use MBS.

To achieve this feat, you're to use several pdf compression apps or web pages - I used up to 7.
Add all the files to one file on adobe PDF and hit the compress option, once it's done, check that the documents are still readable.
Now Google pdf compression sites online and try to compress the already compressed document from Adobe. Some sites will give you the option to set the quality of what the outcome shud be. Do this repeatedly on several pages/sites, each time with the previously compressed file untill you hit 2mb.

[/b]ENSURE[b] you check each file before you further compress to ensure the documents contained are still readable. I forgot to do this when I uploaded mine only to realise that half of the documents were all faded out. Thankfully my SOP was still manageable and I used MBS for my POF.

Hello,

Then the presentation of your application could have paved a way. I am just an ordinary person but I have already seen something. You have a big company of such magnitude but you're submitting his personal account fr proof of funds. So what then happens to the company account?

Please as I said, I'm not trying to antagonize your application. I'm trying to critique it strategically placed he way VOs do our application. That is just one fault I find here. I'm not saying submitting personal account and not business account is bad, but when we make some claims (sorry I don't know another word to use,don't be offended), we give visa officers room to doubt.

Another thing you need to note is that, you're not the first Nigeria applicant to submit docs. The more applicants submit bogus claims, the VOs gets most strict on subsequent applicants.

So just get your note and get to know the actual reason the VO rejected your application. No application is perfect. Is just about good presentation and God's grace.

Wish you all the best.



Hi Ketima, I would like to seek knowledge, any chance I could email you as I am new here, would appreciate your welcome too.

If you wait for who has knowledge about certain programs/schools, you might wait a long time or end up with a wrong response from asking repeatedly.
Personally I sent mails to several schools when I was looking for admission and I was thankful I did when I got their responses, it saved me from applying to so many pgwp non eligible programs even when the school was a DLI.

Why not head to the school's page, navigate and obtain their international student's enquiry email and send them a couple of emails to obtain first hand information. You will be glad you did.

Please be careful with agents and booking agencies.
Get to the airline directly and make enquiries/book.

My experience with wakanow and travelstart was beyond funny. They can help you with cheap flights that might ruin you.
It was from checking with the airlines directly I realised that Most of the cheap flights these agencies were advertising had several stopovers that would require transit visas or some sort of visa, the flight time could be over 30 hrs or they book flights that would require you to change airports, change Terminals etc, restrict your baggage options especially with the airport changing or terminal changing.

Be careful bro.

I have actually sent some mails to the admissions and international enquiries and they didn't come out straight with their responses.

They only referred me to the PGWP page of IRCC for further reading. Meanwhile, the DLI website didn't specify any program of Memorial University of Newfoundland as non PGWP eligible.

Correct me if I'm wrong, if certain programs in a DLI institution are not eligible for PGWP, it will be specified in the website, there's always a"details" to click on the website to see more information about programs that are not eligible for PGWP.

Hello Esanson

If you really want a response from IRCC, send a minimum of 5 emails every day to Nairobi, Lagos and London, but Nairobi in particular.

Your application has passed the processing time of 12 weeks, so you have every right to send them multiple mails especially when your resumption is getting close..


Peace

How do you guys come up with these numbers?

Most ineligible programs are programs less than 2 semesters - 8 months, while some use credit loads to judge. These are mostly certificate programs if I'm not mistaken.

johnstan:


My take on this,
No one here would know for sure the reason for the one month Delay except VFS themselves. The email correspondence you got came with a tracking ID, VFS live chat resumes 9am Mon - Fri, have your tracking ID handy, initiate a chat (it might take a few minutes to get routed to an agent but the earlier you initiate the chat the faster), ask for feedback regarding your ppt retrieval, paste your tracking ID on the chat and wait for the agents feedback.
The feedback might be generic but probe further to be given a timeline, have a life interaction with them and you will be glad you did.

Good luck.

The bottom line is that contacting VFS won't be of any use. They'll either tell you the passport isn't ready or you should contact the embassy. @jilenwere your best bet is to write IRCC.

VFS is still responsible for this in my opinion. They may have routed the passports to the wrong embassy & realised later on. There's a lot of mix-up. Especially for those who submitted late October - early November. They're the ones experiencing this delay.

Write to Nairobi, Lagos & Abuja. You may include London, Accra & Shanghai but they're not necessary. One VFS agent told me last Wednesday when I went to their office, that the passports are stamped in Kenya. So you may want to focus on Nairobi.

All the best.

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by amila20042001: 9:15am On Dec 04, 2022
Just read that the program is only a total of 15 credit hours and can be completed in 2 semesters of full time study.

Don't you think 15 credit hours is small to be eligible for PGWP.

Note a traditional semester work for full-time study is 15 credit hours and 30 credit hours for one year
