What is the age limit for applying for study visa in Canada
Any age if you are thinking of PHD but a younger age for first and second degree has high success rate

Hello house, my dad traveled to Canada in 2015 for 10 days. Since then, 2 different applications were denied. They'll say travel history and finances and that sounds really funny. Travel history to Canada, France, SA, UAE, UK and presently has 10yrs UK visa till 2027.

Now, I wanna help him re-apply, not using the usual agent that was used in the past. Can I apply for him in April/May. Is Canada accepting/reviewing tourist applications now?

I don't have details of the previous application from the agent, I guess I will need his UCI number, how will I apply without the UCI number?
UCI number should be on the rejection letter or BVL, I think you should apply for the GCMS note to enable you know the exact reason given in his file by the visa officer which enable you address it properly in your next reapplication

The rejection letter is just a normal generic reply.

Hello House,

Is there anyone who has been able to book one of the government-designated hotels for the 3 days quarantine? Please share your experience of how you went about this.

I have tried to call the phone line 1-800-294-8253. published on the CIC website. Each time I call, it puts me in the queue and goes on for more than an hour without an agent attending to me.

I would really appreciate the feedback from someone who has successfully booked one of the hotels.
That is the complain of everyone who wants to apply for that service, but I read online that they are working on it , there booking lines will soon be perfected for a better service because their will be serious issue if things are no corrected on time .

Hello All,

My husband applied for my PR under spousal sponsorship since he has a PR. I was a bit surprised when i got an email that my file is being processed in China. Is anyone facing this too?
Hunnn just relax application can be send to any visa application officer or country that is a little less overwhelmed with application, processing time is 28 weeks now that simply means they have received and still recovering a lot of application, honestly when I checked processing time today I just told myself that Canada can really help someone to develop the spirit of patience or help one to start praying for the gift if you don't have it already, because the wait can be worrisome and exhausting...but I know it will end in praise

Good day, everyone. Please I need some clarification on SOWP.
I just got my study visa approved. I am supposed to resume in September 2021 and would like to travel with my spouse in August.
Can he apply for a SOWP now?
Or do I have to resume first before he can apply?
Visa approval is not study permit..you will have to be issued your study permit at the point of entrance to Canada, and that is what ur spouse can apply with

As regards Proof of Funds for SOWP, does it really matter if the bulk of funds is in wife's account in Canada? Please note: His wife is on Study Permit and presently in Canada.
Don't you have a job or bussiness any source of income ur account matters.. being able to take care of yourself before getting a job is what they are looking for

Good evening everyone on this great platform, thanks to all who's shared their experiences and advises,its being quite helpful.

I gave dew questions I'd like to ask about SOWP requirements;
do I have to get a job in canada before applying?

Due to few delays my degree isn't ready but I've
completed it,would not having a certificate serve as any form of hindrance?

Do I have to build my account, if yes like how much should be in there,and would my husband (in canada) also need to reflect any certain amount of money in his account too?
I await your responses.....thank you
No certain amount.. but you need something tangible and something important as home ties , landed property. etc... Since ur spouse is working presently.

They never stopped attending to any group of applicants, just that they have the group of people they attend to quickly, for normal visit visa of non family member is about 267 days processing time for Nigerians that is actually a long time, the problem is they want to limit traffic to dere country due to covid.. even if you are given visa it's still almost impossible to travel.. it you application has pass the processing time raise a web form and you will be given if you are qualified... I have a sister who was given recently.

Honestly is annoying......in that area Canada is so incompetent they need to review there visa processing processes why keep someone passport for so long.

am not sure I will try paper route with this people again. As if the visa will admit person to Heaven.
I had valid UK, USA and Schengen visas on my passport. Yet, it's taking these guys a year to process a visiting visa.
