Relax _{nd See them Coming there re all Watching your trend?}

Student visas for canada must be applied exactly 90days before the commencement of the academic year.

So be weary of the date you are suppose to resume and the day you intend to submit.

Student applications in canada are always cumbersome, make sure all your documents are in place.

If you need assistance in any documents preparation or advise , let me know

All the best.

Viki. has said it all, I guess u wont start this fall again as School has started so itz either Winter or next fall, good luck with the visa, by da way Taezan, I am Hotstepper, just changed ma name

Vikiviko and Ezinwannem, i'm curious. can someone work in Cananda without document? i mean traveling to join a brother or sister and then getting a job. is it possible?

travelling to join a brother and sister under what pretext?

Is the person coming in on a student or visiting visa?

you are not allowed to work officially without a work permit, even students must have studied full time in the previous 6 months to be eligible for an off-campus work permit, and this only allows 20 hours a week of work, except during holidays when you can work full time.

@ tarzan

when is the commencement of the course? Do you have a scholarship or external sponsorship? give us a little more information so the advice can be tailored appropriately

As viki said, you need to apply quite some time in advance of the resumption date, I don't know about the exactly 90 days part though, maybe the regulations have now been changed.

debosky, thank you. I thought so too. i think visiting visa. i heard his sister or brother is inviting him down cuz he doesn't need permit or papers to work in canada.

Well its simply not true, while its possible to get some underground cash only work, Its very risky and I don't see the point.

even international students couldn't work off campus till last year October, and with that, your school must confirm you've been attending full time for 6months before they'll issue you a work permit.

the brother/sister doing the invitation needs to be careful, if the relative gets caught doing anything funny, it will reflect in his/her file. the Canadian government doesn't forget.

honestly, i wonder. but you know many nigerians their own way of thinking can only make one sighs. it's hard to give them words of wisdom. when you do, it's like you don't want them to travel. this one now from what i heard already made up his mind to jet down there.

I wish him all the best sha, but if you get caught, its not funny at all.

One lady in church was telling us how immigration officers came to arrest her at home, they told her she had to leave the country with only her handbag. Thank goodness for some good samaritans from church who went to bail her out because they were lawyers.

too many sad stories abound, I hope he finds a way to become legal if he comes.

yeah, i wish them well too and hope they let honesty be their principle (that's my principle).
thanks for the chit chat Debosky
we go jam again 

Good night o my brother .
