Hi, please can someone on here answer this question for me; can the student with an approved study permit, before their travel, apply for their spouse and dependants to come to Canada possibly at the same time when they plan to travel. Please bear in mind that the student did not apply for them at the same time while making his own application but wants to make the application for them after his own has been approved.

Thanks.

Greetings, I am not sure where to start with the Australian Permanent Residence application as an engineer. Greatly appreciate if someone would kindly point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Ok, will do. Thank you very much.

No and you can view that from the VFS office but I would advise you get a biometric collection letter before booking an appointment. IRCC can be very unpredictable.

Hi, do I need to close my express entry profile in order to apply for a study permit? How can I view available biometric appointment dates ahead of making an application for study permit?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks! this is very helpful!

If you think your case is cogent, this is an opportunity.
Many factors can lead to a low GPA. Also, if there are ways to show that you have a potential for a higher GPA if not for circumstances, (e.g. you won awards for excellence at workplace, you gained research experience and published a paper) , you can also use them to corroborate your case.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by Balloo(m): 11:28am On Feb 04, 2022
Yea, it is for MUN.

I am thinking of making a case for an average CGPA. Not impressed with the CGPA as graduated with a 2.2 when I believe I could have done better if not for factors like unorganisation - school time table/ personal timetable, not necessarily finances... If anyone ever felt the need to explain why they could have done better but didn't grin wink

imarrpopson:
The instructions are quite clear. If there are SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES you would like them to know, write it there. If there isn't any type 'N/A'.
This is for MUN right?

Hi, just started following this thread, not sure where to begin. I'm filling out an application for a Canadian university. Any advice on how to complete this section?

Attached.

Special Circumstances
To be considered for admission, all applicants must meet the minimum requirements as outlined in the University Calendar. The most competitive applicants will have consistently high academic achievement in their previous degree programs. Other aspects of a graduate application, including strong reference letters, research experience, standardized test scores, and statement of purpose can contribute to the competitiveness of a graduate application. The School of Graduate Studies recognizes that, for some applicants, financial hardship, community responsibilities, socioeconomic or other exceptional circumstances might have had a significant impact on their academic performance. If relevant, please describe these circumstances below. Otherwise, please type “N/A” in the section below.

How do you put your location on the CVs? Is it okay to leave your Nigerian contact address and phone number or just email address?

RennyKitty:
To others who are hoping to get Sponsored jobs too. Please let me share a few tips that might help.
1. Download the CV app and register duly and make every experience be it internship or volunteer jobs count. Also be very sure of the referees you will be using for your CV cos they will be contacted before you can be issued your offer letter when you eventually get the job. Also I would advise that you download a sample CV in your job field and follow the templates. Your CV matters a lot and is almost like the master key that will unlock every other doors Of your career progression.
2. After you have successfully built a good CV, good on Apps like Indeed, TotalJobs, Glassdoor and NHS websites and register. Then upload your CV. Some of these websites have assessments that you would be needing to complete and indeed even gives the option to write a cover letter. That’s like a golden opportunity to sell yourself. Please do notices that.
3. Now in order to avoid applying to multiple job openings that you are qualified for but can’t get because they don’t have Tier 2 sponsorship license. You can go to Gov.uk and check the lengthy list of licensed sponsors. Write the employers that fit in your field then go back to Indeed and the other apps and just input the names. It will for sure bring out available job openings and you start sending in your applications.
4. In my case I made it a point of duty at a point to apply to 10jobs in a day. Yes it was stressful and at some point I gave up and trust me that was when I got the call. Matter of fact I I did 2 interviews in one day and got the both jobs. At some point i felt I was wasting time and it seemed almost impossible considering my level of education and all even my sister told me to give up but God showed up.
5. While waiting you can get your Naric assessments ready as it lasts for a lifetime and you would need it for English proficiency or better still do IELTS exams. To avoid any form of delay after getting your CoS
You can also do your TB tests as people are finding it so difficult to book test dates and the result is Valid for just 6 months And of course except you lose focus you would have gotten a headway around the Job issue before the expiration. The only problem here is just that you would be needing a UK address while filling the form.
You will also be needing a police certificate but you can easily get that at Alagbon and you can’t apply for it pre employment because it is only valid for 3 months and
6. lastly and most importantly get your funds ready. A lot of these employers are not ready to pay for anything. They even see the CoS as a huge favor which sadly is in this part of the world. So you need to get your funds ready CoS agencies are “bombarding” them with applications but I think they just stretch out to select random applications here and there. So once they see you are dragging your matter, they move on to the next eligible candidate.
Let opportunities meet you prepared at all times. Especially since it’s Japa season and everyone is looking for a way to legitimately escape this Buhari’s wahala and secret achievements� Please I’m open to more hindsights as I still have a lot of people who want to try this visa route too.
God will see us all through ��

Would do more harm that good in a corrupt society. Citizens will be extorted.
Let's reduce corruption first then this can be introduced.
Very valid point & the device should also be able to take into consideration the realtime states of the road unless it is intended as an accident investigation device and not a safety device.
