show me the post that I was persuading you to use an agent and I started posting agents contacts and I will deactive my Nairaland account

I am a do it yourself person but I wanted to inform you that anyone you contact outside this 8 listed companies are not lincenced agents

I was just correcting you but You are very good at twisting the whole story. You mentioned that you used an agent once and never want to use one again, because I am a do-it-yourself person too... I pointed out that the agent you used was a Facebook Telegram agent.....

I corrected you by explaining that you never used a licensed immigration consultant, and that Nigeria has only eight licensed immigration consultants as of today....... if you are calling yourself an agent and not on the group you are a Facebook agent

I was informing you that Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCICs) are recognized by the Government of Canada as authorized representatives. They are licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants, which was established by the Canadian government. Only RCICs, Canadian lawyers, or paralegals can legally charge fees for immigration advice all over the world....https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigration-citizenship-representative/choose/authorized.html

and in Nigerian we have only currently 8 of them........

Because I corrected your misinformation, you took offense.

I have nothing to gain in all this .......I was just correcting you

Pls don't deactivate. u are still useful to us.

The agents are no longer 7 again?

Thank you senior man justwise for being a voice of reason and bringing sanity back to this group.

Going forward, I won’t respond to any scam allegations from Chibumalasia, Badadvisor, or AbelAbdul without actual facts...because clearly, there are none...

You can disagree with me personally or how I do things, but the facts I present still stand.

You have all heard now unless you have decided to stop using your common sense.

This post I made was the beginning of our problem. I posted I got admission and I needed a guidance and I clearly stated that I need not agent. This boy was persuading me. giving me a million reason to use agents. started posting agents contacts.

This was my first ever post on this thread. Now go through all my post on this thread or NL as a whole and show me where I said I got visa refusal.

For your information this is my first ever visa application to canada.

Rahab409:
That was the same way someone alleged me of being a scammer. Why? Because I posted that I was approved in only three working days after submission of my study permit application.
There were no names they didn't call me. In fact, I had to delete the post and since then, I only observe and speak only when I see that questions have stayed for days unanswered to.
It's quite unfair labeling people with such a sensitive word without evidence.

You were called out because you posted your whatsapp number telling people to reach you there if they need help. What is the purpose of the thread if everyone has to meet in a whatsapp group? You gave an excused that you were not always on NL yet that period you spent your entire time on NL.

lanresz:
So, everyone giving good advice is a scammer. I don't understand. I'm not holding any brief for him but your logic is very interesting. Provide evidence that the guy is a scammer and the admin of the group can ban him.

It seems u have not been following the guys posts. By 'good' I meant persuading.

ColdHunter:
Guys is it normal that till now University Of Regina hasn't given admission decision for the Fall session?

I find it quite curious.

I've sent a couple of mails and the feedback is that they are still reviewing.

I hope that wasn't the only school you applied to. Dont keep ur eggs in one basket

Are soldiers meant to go after armed robbers? What is the work of the police.

ATTAHDYE:
You can always select through local bank transfers.

I want to pay 30kCAD.
the options available are;
1. Bank wire through CIBC. but this require me to have an acct with CIBC
2. Credit/Debit card(Naira/Dollar). My bank said the highest I can transfer with card per month is $6k USD.

Ifeanyi221:
Good day everyone, please I need advice. I got admission into Lambton College Sarnia for a PGD in Business Analytics. I’ve confirmed it’s PGWP eligible on IRCC website, but I want to know how good this school and course are in terms of job opportunities and PR chances currently. Also, the school asked me to pay about $9,000+ ($2,000 for PAL and about $7,000 for first semester tuition) is this normal, and is the PAL deposit refundable if visa is refused? I’d really appreciate honest, up to date advice.

1. Employers care more about your expertise not school name THOUGH! Find out if the course has co-op it will really help.

2. School play little or no role in PR. You should be concerned with the course itself. Is it in-demand skill?

3. Some schools only ask for a deposit to get PAL/LOA. Some ask for one-year or a semester/term fees. So it's normal.

4. In most cases, yes. it's refundable. But before you make payment, send a mail to the school and confirm from them. They are the only right source to tell you if they will refund your money or not.

alphabbey1:
Flywire

It has card transaction limit.

Rachelooo:
Should she add her spouse as sponsor since she gets monthly allowance from him?
But she’s the one paying her fees and all expenses as she has funds saved up?
She does not want to add him as sponsor but instead wants to use her sister as her sponsor

Would this work or not?

Add him as support.

How do i pay 30k CAD from Nigeria to the school?

leksite120:
To qualify for pgwp now, you have to do study 2yrs program. So, its not the same as 1yr.
Also, for the sake of PR which you're aiming, if you want to study business analytics, it should better be masters and not college program.

@ Treyray

Treyray:
Hello guys. I have a degree in management and accounting, with NYSC work experience. I'll really like to study Business Analytics as a graduate program in Canada. Any advice on what school is best to apply for, in terms of PR and after school work prospect. (I know nothing is guaranteed but I will like to position myself for the best opportunity possible.) Also, is there any particular reason why I should go for a 2 years program over a one year program (I saw on Youtube that the PGWP duration is the same regardless.

I will really appreciate any advice

If the program is a master or PhD with a minimum duration of 8 months, your are eligible for a 3 year PGWP.

For IRCC to Tweet on this tells you everything about their current focus....

International student numbers have dropped significantly compared to 2024 which clearly means refusals have gone up a lot.

It’s a tough time for applicants… wishing everyone the best in their journey. 🙏

Your aim has always been to discourage people here. But guess what? Every day people are posting here how they got their study permits approved.
Just because people don't use your agents

breakice31:
Your own good news is coming too. Say Amen!

When did you apply?

Your own good news is coming too. Say Amen!

Congrats.

amnotapervert:
Can you give us a Break down of what you calculated ?

tuition for 2 yrs is around 60k. living expenses for two yrs around 40k, cost og flight and other stuff

amnotapervert:
then you are good that 2k CAD is enought

My program is 2yrs. I have calculated tuition for the two years, feeding, housing and other expenses for that two years. it's approximately 100m.
Does it what it? My course is under the STEM.

Chigbo55:
Is anyone here going to Fanshawe College and has paid his or her tuition fee deposit? Pls I have a question.
Someone paid my tuition fee deposit some months ago through his Canadian bank account, how can I generate the tuition fee deposit receipt/evidence of payment? I have gone to my student portal (Webadvisor) I didn't find the receipt or statement of account. I need this receipt for Study permit application. How can I get the receipt pls? It's very very urgent!

Send a mail to the school to request the receipt.

Rahab409:
For the sake of emphasis: I never requested a dime from anyone, both on this platform or anywhere. I dare/challenge anyone who I may have requested money from (either here or anywhere) for whatever reason to come out to say such.
In the absence of none, and I'm sure there can never be, then you lot should close your mouths and move on to another topic.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. In PoTUS' voice.

Guilty conscience. No worry u go dey alright. You claim u barely visit Nairaland reason you dropped ur number.

Rahab409:
It's funny how many of you guys behave. I had written my response myself and not with AI. Even if I had used AI, how's that an issue. I stated a claim, you all refuted it because you said I had put my phone number, then I deleted the entire thing.
Now, you're still singing scammer? Scammer on what exactly? After I deleted the same post? Are you joking ?

Las Las e ma wa alright.

You posted your number because you hardly visit Nairaland YET only today you almost lived on Nairaland.

Rahab409:
I have removed my WhatsApp contact and revised the entire post. I only included it initially because I’m not very active on Nairaland, and I wanted anyone who needed guidance to be able to reach me easily.

However, due to the backlash I received, I have decided to take down the write-up and simply wish everyone the best in their applications. My intentions were genuine—I truly wanted to help, and at no point did I request any fee. I even included a disclaimer to make that clear.

Omo, God abeg ooo.

In the end, we will all be alright.

And you had to use an AI to write this?

amnotapervert:
Hahahahahahah Almost 10 years on this app, and not a single record of anyone calling me a scammer.............

I have interacted with all kinds of people here and helped without collecting a dime. I don’t even ask for money...I barely have the time. I just drop comments and share information.

Like I said, I am not the reason your father can’t afford your school fees or why your visa keeps getting rejected because of you can not afford the fees. I understand you’re frustrated, but making false accusations won’t help your situation.

And again, if I have ever scammed anyone, go ahead and bring the receipts. This is the time to show them I am waiting.

Chibumalasia:
That's why am making sure you cannot scam anybody. You barely have time but you are here 24/7 looking for somebody to scam. The way you are desperate you have to be using Gemini AI to answer question so that your victims can fall for your trap. Look for better hustle. This your format have cast

He meant he barely has time to ask for money.

Rahab409:
I applied for my study permit alongside my spouse’s open work permit on 5th April 2026. Since Monday, 6th April was a public holiday, I scheduled my biometrics for Tuesday, 7th April, while my spouse completed hers on 9th April 2026.

Surprisingly, we both received approval for our visa applications on that same 9th April 2026 at about 3:55 P, while my spouse’s biometrics appointment was scheduled for 1:00 PM that very day in Lagos.

For context, I had previously handled my UK student visa application for my master’s degree myself, and it was also approved.

So why am I sharing this?

If you need guidance or have questions that haven’t been answered, feel free to drop them here. Others may also benefit, and I’ll do my best to guide you based on my experience.

Getting approval within three working days after submission was honestly unbelievable—I didn’t see it coming.

You may want to reach out to me on +2348172665795. Whatsapp only

Disclaimer: I am not an immigration officer. I can only offer guidance based on my personal experience applying for my study permit and my spouse’s open work permit.

People about to be scammed.

2011HajjWeber:
The issue with my NIN was that my Dad registered my NIN with is phone number when still a minor. When applied for the PCC on POSSAP Portal, it will brings out my name with my dad phone number. I have carried out update on my phone number on NIN, but still not updated on POSSAP Portal almost 2 weeks.
I have tried going ahead with dad phone number and email, but the verification brings out my Dad name and not my name. Technically, the PCC is like for my dad.

Any solutions from my leaders

Go to NIN office and update your information

destinychildolu:
It's not even needed for anything regarding Canada visa

It's not mandatory but it's important
