Hello my nairaland family.

Please help me out.

My sister wants to book for flight to Canada, which airline is good and that will not need transit visa for her and her two kids.

Someone said she must apply for transit visa first.

They are in Abuja, going to Toronto, Canada.

Thank you so much.

nnamdi346:
Typically, once your tuition deposit has been paid and received by the school, an official LOA will be sent to you.

Thank you
But the application fee should be paid first, then the admission letter should follow before they can ask someone to proceed in paying the deposit.

Hope4Naja:
Please who has received admission offer from Holland College. I want to know the process for the study visa permit application. I was asked to pay 1000 CAD Tuition deposit.

Please, like how many weeks does it take Holland college to send your LOA.
Thank you.

Amyamyamy:
I have an admission in holland college

@Amyamyamy, please what do you upload for English proficiency instead of TOFEL or IELTS, because the post graduate certificate I want to apply for require IELTS.
Can I upload My waec and BSC certificate instead since my first language is English or can I get English proficiency from my University?

Thank you for your response

Iseoluwani:
Pls who has gotten admission into HOLLAND COLLEGE asking for a friend.

Kindly help. Is there a WhatsApp group for the sch?

Please does HOLLAND COLLEGE take waec as proof of English proficiency in place of IELTS.

I want to know before applying for a Post graduate certificate in the school.

Thank you

Uzorsammy:
I guess you need to work on ur SOP that'why the second application was rejected and don't open a new account
.

I used the old portal for the first one and used new portal for the second one, but by the grace I want to use the old portal.
What do you think?

Uzorsammy:
What was the reason for ur denial?

@ Uzorsammy
The first was personal asset and financial status

The second denial is purpose of visit

My Nairaland people.
I'm here again o

I need your help on these.

I want to open a new account with Marchant bank and transfer money from my UNITY BANK account in order to pay centennial college deposit with form A.

1) My question is, I hope the v.o will not see the new account as red flag and lump sum.

2) The account I want to submit for another application was the one I used for the previous Application that was refused but the money is still there.
The money is a gift deed from my sponsor, and I submitted the the notarized gift deed and my sponsor account with mine then.
Now that I want to submit another application, how do I go about it?

How do I explain to the v.o in my LOE.

All the guru here.

Thank you.

Mclairity1:
Pls which Marchant bank do you intend using. I am in dying need of a fast form A

Im hoping to use any of their branch, but I will go there first to make enquiry about the form A before proceeding.

danherb:
It will not work for Form A. The account must be at least 6 months.

The tuition deposit I made last year was from UNITY BANK form A and I opened the account that same month.

Cuppycak3:
the course is related to your work experience so you should be good to go...still wait for the gurus to answer

@Cuppycak3, thank you so much, I appreciate you.

Bobomaigida:
The course is a good choice considering your past experience, in your SOP you have to emphasize on the business aspect of the course, ie that the course will help you gain knowledge on the business behind Television and Film especially with the growth in our Local film industry, how you want to position yourself as one of the professionals that will drive the business end of the movie and television industry in Nigeria and Africa, throw in some lines about Nollywood being the fastest growing movie industry and the market acdeptance it is getting now and how your education in Canada will equip you to cash in on the growth.

@Bobomaigida, you are a blessing, God will continue to strengthen you, what ever you lay your hands upon shall prosper in Jesus name.

Thank you so very much for answering all my questions
And to all Guru answering everyone here, God bless you.

All Guru
My brother's and sisters on Nairaland

I was refused for the second time based on purpose of visit last month.

Now my GCMS note is here.

Please I could not upload it here, but please help me to review the V.O' s opinion below.

"I have reviewed the application, I have considered the positive factors outlined by the applicant, including statement or other evidence. The applicant is 40 applying for a program in personal Support Worker at New Brunswick community college.
The applicant obtained a Masters Degree in arts Humanities/ Social science bin 2018. The applicant has been working bin a Television Station as a photographer, technician, graphics arts, technical and coordinating occupation in motion pictures, broadcasting and the performing arts since 2011, Study plans is vague.
The vagueness of the plan leaves no outline to clarify the career educational path for which the sought educational program would be of benefit or how chosen course will improve job prospects back home.
The study plan does not appear reasonable given the applicant employment and education history. I note that the client's previous studies were in an unrelated field- the client's previous studies bat a higher academic level than the proposed studies in Canada, the client's proposed studies are not reasonable given their career path. The applicant has not provided compelling reasons outlining the reason for ending previous career in home country to commence in a different field in Canada.
I fail to see how the proposed program adequately demonstrate a logical progression of studies career. Given the applicant previous education and employment history. I am not satisfied that the motivation to pursue this particular program at this time in Canada is reasonable".


The first refusal was on personal asset and financial status, which I did all I could do to tackle.

Now, I have applied to Centennial college for Fall 2023 for TELEVISION AND FILM- BUSINESS, please can this course fly for me?

If NO please give me the idea of a good course that will fly.

Please all the guru on Nairaland come to my aid.


Thank you in advance

Predator188:
A graduate study in journalism and media production, Any program related to this will help...

Are your company aware of your visit and your program of study, can they employ you, after the program ends .if possible let them confirm this in writing.
Include reasons in SOP, why do you want to pursue this program in canada,let the VO understand the skills that will be obtained from the program, how the skills obtained from the program will beneficial to you the company and your Country of origin.

I

Thank you @ predator 188

I am a public servant, not that I can't inform them, but it's a long process that I don't want to get myself hooked.
If I decided to inform them, I'm entitled to study leave.

Thank you once again, God bless you.

Good day my people

Please I was refused for purpose of visit.

I want to change my course now.

Please can you suggest a course that will show progression.

I work in a TV station, I am a producer of program, I am an editor of the program too, I am a transmission director, I direct live and recorded program.

Please suggest a course I can apply for.

I studied Business Administration in my first and second degree.

Thank you so much

Wsx2:
Can you apply for a more relevant course . Like business related tech courses pgd if any also in your SOP talk about your course and your interest and how it will be useful also stated what you have been doing and your achievement so far and sum up all your documents hometies especially is very important like properties companies business jobs investment .... Wife hubby or kids may not be enough as hometies and address what will bring you back home with documents backing it up.the Vo need to be convinced that you will come back home even if you have no plans to come back. Main reason why many who has enough funds yet they still get denied .most were unable to convince the vo that something will bring them back home

Thank you so much, I appreciate, I will try to make adjustment.

God bless you.

Bobomaigida:
1. Please you will need to do explanation more in your SOP on linking the PSW and the work you do now, also the sort out the admission status with the school, it's possible that when they checked they saw that the admission was cancelled.

2. Your finances are strong enough so you will not need to do much there.

All the best

Thank you so much

CornOak:
Sorry about the refusal, AbionaT.

You stated sometimes in November that your admission at NBCC was cancelled.

Questions:

1. Did you secure another admission with another DLI?
2. If yes, did you send the new LOA to IRCC via webform?
3. If you answer YES to question 2, was the new LOA acknowledged by IRCC?

Stay strong, it will end in praise.

Thank you @ cornOak

I later apply to NBCC for winter 2023
But I have not receive the LOA yet,
I didn't send any LOA to IRCC, just waiting for NBCC so that I can update IRCC with NBCC LOA.

Bobomaigida:
Sorry about the refusal, while you have to apply for CBSA notes, to know the exact reason, the purpose of visit refusal reason is tied to your career progression as well as the course you you have enrolled for.

1. Does the programme align with your job experience and first degree?
2. Do you have GCSM notes for the first application? if Yes, why was it refused?
Your answers can help to throw more light on the situation.

Thank you @ Bobomaigida

1) The course im going for is PSW, I studied Business Administration in first amd second degree, i work in a TV station as a producer, but im producing a health program (healthy Living) i have recommendation from my office on the program and I have one year voluntary work with Lagos State general hospital which they gave me a letter to back it up.

2) The first refusal was on personal asset and financial status which I tried in my own way to tackle, i paid more than halve of the school fees and still have over 5m in my account, I have like 3m in my pension fund account.

My People

I just got a refusal letter now

Second time Applicant

May 27

I got medical request on 1st of November and I was pass around 15th of November then got BVL 25th of November.

Then, this morning I decided to send mails and webform to IRCC.

The refusal letter says
Purpose of visit.

Please my people, What should I do now, I'm just tired.

bepositive11:
You're welcome.

Yes, it doesn't matter. January 2024 is ok, but you can go with the first admission that comes as you said.

Good luck.

Thank you so much.

jaydave:
Since ur app hasn’t been approved yet(tho it’s 95% approved for dem to hv requested for ur medicals) jus look for anoda sch dat can quickly giv u admsn, once u get it ,update ircc with d new loa quickly ,den go for ur medicals after u r done with that process. I pray u get a new loa before d deadline date to submit ur medicals .

If u decide to wait for nbcc Jan 2024 admsn dat means u won’t travel when ur visa is out until December next year. U will hv to explain to dem at port of entry why it took u so long before u travel , I sure knw dey wud ask .

I have done medical since August and sent to them and they have started reviewing it before they sent request, I just needed to upload the medical slip again.

What if PPR comes before I could get another Admission?

bepositive11:
Yeah, that's true. Thanks for the correction.

AbionaT Please see the link below. You can change your school/dli while your application is ongoing, but you can't change dli after your study permit has been approved. So get a new admission soon, even if from another school.

Good luck

bepositive11, thank you so much I really appreciate.

I have applied again to NBCC, although it's January 2024, I hope it doesn't matter?
And also at the lookout to FANSHAWE COLLEGE and CENTENNIAL college for their admission anyone that comes first.
And if God decided to bring PPR then I will continue with NBCC, I pray everything align together for my good. Amen

Thank you.

jaydave:
Look for any oda available prog in the sch even if it’s diploma, jus ensure u maintain same dli , when u get to Canada den u can look for how to change dli.
But then, According to the ircc link someone shared few hours again ,I read on it that it’s until when ur app has been approved that u will be required to submit new app n fee if u are changing dli.
In ur case dey only requested for your medicals not that ur application has been approved , if u can get a quick admission in another school maybe u shd update ircc about d new dli before going for medicals

@Jaydave thank you so much.
I have applied for the January 2024 now, but the letter of addmision is takes like 6weeks before getting to the student.
I hope it doesn't matter, and will IRCC accept 2024 loa from same dli?
Then I have done medical since August 24,they have started reviewing it before they sent the medical request.
Thank you.

kweje:
Though I would also lean towards appealing to your current DLI to give you another admission. Here is the link to information about changing DLIs.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/change-schools.html

Thank you so much

bepositive11:
It would be better if you could get a new admission from NBCC. If you apply to a new school, you'll have to submit a new study permit application.

Thank you my program is filled up already, the only opening they have now is January 2024.

What should I do in this case

jaydave:
After 5months they jus asked u to go for medicals and it’s even 2nd application.. omo this ircc nawa oooo

My brother, I tell you

yusmuf001:
