TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 8 by Balina: 10:14am On Nov 28, 2022
mimilyrics:
If you're driving: If you're driving, once you get to Berger, keep driving straight and don't turn till you drive past Motorways building on your right. Keep to the right lane once you sight the building to your right just beside the pedestrian bridge and descend towards Ojota.
Drive to Maryland from Ojota, keep to your right and go up the bridge leading to Mobolaji Bank Anthony. Turn by Mobil filling station, drive straight till you see GTBank on your right- the church is just after it. Drive slowly so that you don't miss your turn. Parking is usually competitive and might cost your around N500-N1,000 so you might want to park elsewhere closely (GTBank, Mr Biggs etc).
If in doubt at any point, use Google Maps.
Via public transport: Most likely, the final stop for your bus will be Ojota. If your bus stops at Berger, you'll need to board a bus to Ojota/Maryland.
Maryland is 2 bus stops away from Ojota. You can board a BRT bus in the middle lane or a yellow bus from Ojota if you're stopped there. Stop at Maryland bus stop, you will need to cross to your right and walk for like 3 mins from the BRT stop to Mobil station, maryland.
There are usually yellow buses from the bus stop or directly in front of Mobil.
There used to be a lot of bikes and Kekes there but not sure if they are still allowed there due to the ban.

From Maryland, board a bus/keke and alight at abule Onigbabo - it's a few minutes stroll from there. It's a tall building (Etiebet's house) after the church and before Eko hospital.
Thanks a lot for your detailed response

PLEASE help

Which of these two rates would be used by the ECO to calculate your pof?

Is it the Oanda rate on the day of submission of one's application OR Oanda rate on the day the ECO decides to review your application?

Hello Balina,
Applying for the caq is quite seemless.
You'll patiently need to go through the links on the quebec site.

I'll advise you start with the summary page on Concordia's site about applying for the caq.

https://www.concordia.ca/students/international/immigration.html

Firstly, you will need to create an account after which a checklist of required documents will be sent to you.

Secondly, you will upload the required documents and wait for the caq to be processed. Strongly advise you start with the payment of your acceptance fee and the caq immediately.

Was it expressly stated that you must send your official transcript before applying for the study permit? You can see the deadline for sending the transcript in your admission letter.

Cheers.
Thanks for the reply.

No it was not stated that I have to send official transcript before applying for Study permit. It is a conditional admission and to fulfill the condition means sending official transcript and paying acceptance fee before July 31st.

PLEASE I have a couple more questions:

1. While applying for CAQ, will I have to apply for study permit separately? and do I need to complete 1 before starting the other?

2. If I begin the CAQ and study permit process now, how long would it take to get my Visa if everything goes well, just a rough estimate of the weeks.

Thanks

ShowYoung:
To obtain a Study Permit, you may need to first obtain a CAQ if you're going to be schooling in Quebec. You must find out whether or not you need one depending on your situation.

Hence, after taking the first and second steps you have mentioned above, the next is obtaining CAQ.

Good day bosses,

Please I need a roadmap to follow for applying for study permit and CAQ. I am confused about the whole process. I have been offered admission by Concordia University and my program start date is 5th of sept. I know the next steps to take to complete my admission are;

1. Pay acceptance fee
2. Send my official transcript to the school
3. Apply for study permit and CAQ

I can get step 1 and 2 done easily, but for step 3, I only know the process for US. I have read through the first page, but it ended up confusing me more.

PLEASE house I need a guide or roadmap on the steps to take in order to apply for study permit and CAQ.

Good day everyone,

Please I have a question;

I am trying to book an appointment and after filling my passport details and all, I submitted it and then I got this pop up. This account was created for me in 2019 by an uncle then who helped in filling it, but now I am doing everything on my own and I intend to create it from scratch. If I don't transfer this new account to the previous one as stated in the image below, would I have any issues going forward? anyone done similar stuff before without any negative effect?

Hello experienced bosses,

Please what's the best advice for me as regards choosing btw ABJ and LAG, which has better rate of approval, I know this doesn't matter much, but yet I would still prefer to know.

Also, are there other factors btw d 2 locations that I should be aware of before deciding? My program starts by Aug 31st.

Your advice would be highly appreciated.

Hello House,

I just finished paying my SEVIS fee. I am a little confused about the next steps.

Firstly, what am I expected to do next? Pay VISA fee? or create a profile on cgi (PLEASE also help with the correct link).

Secondly, abt 3 yrs ago I got denied for a B1/B2 visa, am I expected to use the same login details I used then on this new one?

You are either an employee or self-employed.

I suspect a freelancer can be either, depending. This link (proof of work experience) has the docs required for each; which are you able to provide docs for?

Inconsistent pay can be explained in an LOE, I assume but may work more for self-employed than employee.....just a guess.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/express-entry/applications-received-on-after-january-1-2016-completeness-check.html

Someone even suggested NOCs here: https://www.nairaland.com/4212543/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/282#64958748
Based on the information up there (about the document requirements), I think self employed is the right one.

Thanks a lot Boss.

Good day great people,

Please I have an important question to ask:

Does freelance work experience count? (having it in mind that freelancers monthly earnings vary and are not consistent)

My Work experience has been on Fiverr and Upwork since 2017. So my concern is, since monthly earnings are not consistent, would it count as a work experience?

Has anyone been successful with a freelancer work experience before?

Please advise.
Thanks!
Hello Bosses,

Please I still need answer to this.
