Hello. I received both messages below from vfs concerning a study permit i submitted on Friday. Please can anyone tell me what exactly they mean. Thank you.

In simple terms, it means your application has commenced processing.. have you done your biometrics?

tosiiNO:
Hi guys, what's the best program someone with a 2.12 Cgpa can go for? Is it too low for pgd/c or post baccalaureate programs?

Olayinkaji:

Olayinkaji:

Seunbankole:
I am asking for the letter used to apply for visa

You use your admission letter issued to you by the school and tuition fee receipt from the school as well..

Raalsalghul:
Now you have it, it was this same information from Naijaforeigner that made me said that it contradicted yours in an earlier mention.

Well, we learn everyday sha.

Yea.. thanks for the correction

ANSWER: I have been updating them on the school on my study permit situation even a month before the start date and they never told me any thing on revoke. i even did a mail earler to them on that same day they sent me the revoke letter. Although the revoke letter was automated. i have also send mails to them even today but they are yet to reply my mail. Again, how can i track my application or know what could be the cause of the delay. Thank you very much for you response(s).....GURU(S)...!!!!!

My question is, the mails you were sending a month ago.. is it for deferment or just updating them of your progress?...
Well.. you don't track. Every info about your admission status is meant to emailed to you or undated on your admission portal you opened to apply for the admission.
If the revoke is automated, then your application is still active, Wat u need to do is to mail the schools admission office..

Seunbankole:
Please house is there any university or college I can apply too that sends admission letter after admission ??

All schools send admission letter immediately admission is offered... in fact the admission letter is attached to the notification mail of offer of admission.

Adetayoade1:
Boss can you check your mail please

Just replied you

Please guys i need your help. i applied for Canadian study permit since 25th November and my biometric was updated on 26th of november. This is my second application. My first application was a paper application and was denied then i have to respond to their complaints on my second application.

Now my the challenge is that, the class have started since on 17th of January and i couldnt travel because my application is still on process. on 15th of January i received a mail from Canadian immigration saying "we're still working on your application.
Again the school (Conestoga College) have revoke my admission with the option to request for refund. right now i dont know either to request for refund and reapply or to apply to another college.
what happens to my study permit application? The acceptace letter i used for my application, the class started on 17th January. wont applying for another offer contradict the information i gave in my study permit application?

Please the GURUS in the house help me!!!!!!!!!!

This is a dicy situation... and I will only tell you what I feel can be done byt still open to the house to add further..
This is my 2kobo

I would say, u should have requested for a deferment 2weeks to the resumption date seeing that your application is still in the pipeline..thats why the school seeing you are not requesting for a deferment, decided to terminate the admission therefore giving you the option of a refund.. well it has happened..

I feel you should either send a mail to the school and plead with them to defer your admission in that same course ,attach a letter showing that your visa application is still in progress or attach the last response you got from cic which is why you didn't reach out cos I feel it's faster to get a new admission letter than applying to another school which by now has closed their admissions portal(wild guess though).

Naijaforeigner:
You are doing a fantastic job here and your answers to questions asked has been spot on, God bless you.

To the bolded, it is not always the case. I had a 4.4 CGPA and I attended college in Canada. I also have many Nigerian friends with 2.1 that finished in Canadian colleges.

A 2.1 can choose college for so many reasons. Although it is always advised on here that if you have 2.1, masters should be your first option, this does not mean if you opt for college, your visa will be denied.

The major thing for a visa officer is career progression. On the completion of your UG, once you are going for postgraduate studies, whether college or University, and can prove you are a genuine student with good LOE, financial statement and so forth, you will get your visa.

Duly noted Chief.. thanks for the correction..

Crystalheart:
Thank you sir.. I've checked mu, there is Msc chemistry and I have mailed them to inquire if they have that option, but I am yet to see their response. I'm checking other universities while awaiting their response...

Okay

Raalsalghul:
Very true, I agree with you.

Admission is not the issue, but convincing the V.O

Thanks!

Okay

Raalsalghul:
Boss, as expert wey you be, you know say M.Sc dey more expensive pass PGC.

Maybe the Op dey look him pocket na.

I'm somewhat in the same shoes, my result qualifies for a Masters, but thinking of going for a PGC in line with my work experience.

Well.. I no be expert boss.. am a learner like you.. well. In the reply I gave, the person I replied didn't state his/her grade.. fine.. and I gave that reply.. like I always say.. for newbies, admission in any course isn't the problem.. it's wen u get to apply for visa, u will see there's a need for u to have gone for a course related to your bsc or there was need for u to have done this and not that. It's not easy shaa

I also told someone here that he/she can go for a PGD with a 2.1 but u have to explain why u are going for a college wen your bsc is good enough to be admitted for a masters.. which means more work for u to defend your decision..

Yes for the bolded, money in the pocket matas alot but the visa officer no dy look that one.. that's why I said the main huddle is in the visa application stage..

Raalsalghul:
Sir, the answer to your questions is finances.

M.Sc is more expensive in Canada.

Hahahahahaha.. Boss, Wetin concern finance with admission requirements for masters and PGD/C?..

you are saying something else my man .. all am saying is, with a 2.2 it's difficult to impossible to get admitted for a masters program in either an expensive and a cheap university in Canada. It's has nothing to do with finance

Raalsalghul:
Your first paragraph is contrary to some information I've read on this thread.

Pls can u state where you made your findings.. and has it worked for you since you made them..

Kess2020:
Am a newbie on this forum intend applying to Canada for fall 2020...


Am a graduate of pharmacology with a 3rd class degree this happened because of some circumstances been working in a hospital Pharmacy for more than 2yrs.

I intend applying to Canada for 2year course After/second degree program to Nursing.
or Even any post graduate diploma program relating to my previous degree.

What are my chances with this grade and what schools is advisable to apply?

Nobody here can tell you your chances.. Wen you apply, how you sell yourself of being a genuine student going to study for a reason with a realistic plan after studies, that is what tells what your chances are..

For a course, I advise you go for a PGD/C in a course related to your bsc not done in Nigeria therefore cancel nursing if it's not related to your bsc

Google can handle the possible colleges you can apply to..

NwanyiOkpa:
So why do people use paper when they can use online and retain their passport? Are there any benefits of using Paper?

No benefit.. possibly they didn't know they won't be retaining their passports

Crystalheart:
Alright bro. Please pardon my too many questions.. I will apply for Msc program in pharmaceutical chemistry, I don't know which institution yet..

My previous study visa application that was rejected was filed with practical nursing admission letter..

Do VOs consult previous application? If they do, could it negatively affect their judgement since my next application will be filed with Msc pharmaceutical chemistry admission letter rather than the practical nursing admission letter. Thanks..

The course is better.. you can Google the course and it will link you to universities that offer them.. try memorial University of newfoundland, university of Regina etc.. Google can solve that for u.

Yes they go through your last application to compare the difference or change made between the first and the new application but it will not affect your new application...

Hello Gurus, Is anyone else who applied for a study permit against winter 2020 still yet to recieve any update on his/her application after biometrics?.
I put in my application nov 05(online), gave biometrics nov 19, since then no updates, I haven’t been asked to provide medicals. I hope my application will still be approved.

Keep praying and be positive.. if it has exceeded the standard time, send mails of inquiries.. Good luck

NwanyiOkpa:
Good morning.

I would like to inquire if the embassy will hold on to my passport during the process of seeking for a visa since i need the passport to also chase other country's visa simultaneously.

Thanks.

If it's an online application, no they won't but if it's a paper application, yes they will

Hello everyone.
Hope you all are doing well.

Been a while i came here, school work and dealing with winter wahala in Canada takes so much time off my hands.
Hope our Nairalanders in Newfoundland and Labrador, Halifax, are safe ooo. Please make una no use the weather play oooo. It aint funny being out there in this blistering cold. Frostbite is real!!!

Please I have a request to make, and it is quite urgent.
@JustMellow, @Frankrobbn1 @Naijaforeigner @Qudkom, @mcobex @Austacus @Bracha and others in this house, please your responses will be greatly appreciated.

My brother got a PPR, but has less than 6 months left on his passport. We though it is better for him to get a new passport, but we want to know if he can submit the new passport to CIC given his application was done using the info on the old passport.
If so what are your suggestions on how best to do this? Can he submit both? Do we have to a letter to CIC to explain the new passport?

Has anyone experienced this before, or been in this situation? If yes, what did you do?
Please everyone, your advise will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

My 2kobo is to submit both passports

Crystalheart:
I have 2:1, does it mean pgd isn't advisable for me?
Once again, thanks for your prompt replies.

You can go for a PGD but why go for that wen u have a higher grade that qualifies you for a masters..

agboolaahmed:
. Mr Fankrobbn1 have sent a web form sir and this with updated form. This was the response “ your request has been sent to the visa office processing your application. You should receive a reply within 28 days (by email, regular mail or fax). If your application is within normal processing times you may not receive a reply from the visa office. If your message contains new information for your application (e.g adding a newborn or change of address) your file will be updated but the visa office may not respond to your email. I hope it will be rectified and updated sir. Thank you for your response

I advise you send a yahoo/gmail to all three offices separately cos your situation is critical o

agboolaahmed:
. How do I raise a CSE to Kenya immigration please this urgent please sir

CSE is a way of saying WEBFORM... type webform on Google, it will direct u to cic portal and follow the instructions.. that's where u choose the office you wish to send the mail to, choose Kenya.. the mail will get to Kenya, if your application isn't in Kenya, they(visa office kenya) will send it to the right office handling your application

agboolaahmed:
. Please how do I go about this. Please. I just did my biometric today and I’m not sure I can withdraw the application

Send a mail to cic London, lagos and Kenyan offices.. also send a Webform.. in both scenarios, explain vividly yours reasons behind your decision to withdraw the application.. but don't say it out rightly, just state there were errors and wish to withdraw to correct the errors in the form.. do that before they take a decision in your application.. You can withdraw as long as a decision has not been taken on your application.
