Is it a must to pay?

You can have the fund in your account now. And visa will still be given. Aside that agent at times is experience while most newbies to this may not be able to do much to perfect their document

That is the point I'm making: there is no experience needed neither is there any document to "perfect". It's either you have the requirements or you do not have

ATTAHDYE:
If you want to DIY, you must be someone who is organized and pays attention to details.

Last month alone, I came across 2 applications that were denied based on poor documentation. In one of the applications, almost all the documents submitted where over compressed and distorted making them impossible to read.

Naturally you don't expect the VO to approve what he can't see. And when I was talking to the applicant he was practically weeping on the other end of the phone.

Some of you scan documents upside-down, sideways and anyway. Some, write xxxxxxx and still expect a miracle to happen. It will not!

For an application where decisions will be made based on the paper work you present. If you don't have the patience to do a thorough work, respect yourself and look for a agent.

Lolz you don't have the patience to do something that concerns your life and future but you think it's another person that will have that patience.
There is nothing so complicated about the whole visa thing truthfully. The biggest reason many people get rejected is Inadequate Finance: plain and simple. Forget the other things they paint around .
You don't have or you have limited access to the required funds so you keep packing documents upon documents hoping to confuse IRCC. Pay your complete tution and have living expenses for a year in your account and you will breeze through the process. I have seen people here in Canada (Nigerians) who didn't even write SOP (It's actually an optional document but people here treat it like research paper) but got PPR for undergraduate (about 3 years course) because the money is there. If you are using a sponsor the person needs to show commitment by paying your fees and transferring living expenses to your account except it's a parent because if not what is the proof that the sponsorship account is not just for show.
Think about it you are telling IRCC, you are coming to school and you have this funds set aside for it and can pay without it been an unreasonable expense for you. The question then is why haven't you then paid if that money is truly available?
No agent can increase your finances for you (except fraudulently). The money you are paying them is even shortening your POF and neither is the process an exam that VO is marking.
As long as you can read, write and use the internet you can do your application by yourself.

Benedict, there are many people doing this business on Instagram like shullyfoodexport, canadacargo, myafrimall and many others. Those will be cheaper than DHL.

Ok I'm not on Instagram though. I will still try to see if I can reach out and get a price quote from them. Thanks for the info

How about getting food items from grocery stores?
You should be able to prepare stew to eat with rice, pasta, and beans

I don't want to be spending scarce FX on food. I haven't gotten a job yet.

Hey guys landed in London Ontario about a month ago. So far it has been hard to get a job and GTB told me they had reduced upkeep from Form A to only 600usd per quarter. So my foreign currency is a little scarce and I don't want to spend it all buying food when I still have rent and the rest to pay. So I thought about shipping food from Nigeria but the price DHL gave my people over N200,000 just for items bought less than N70,000 seems expensive so does anyone know a reliable cheaper shipping method from Nigeria (Abuja) to Canada?

SLOVFO:


That sounds great. In my letter of introduction, among what they said one should bring include proof of fund. I wonder how that is done at the POE? Can you enlighten me, please. Also, is one required to have any form of vaccination prior to traveling to Canada?

I heard they sometimes for POF but it seems to be extremely rare and you can show them through your bank app or statement of account I guess.
No one asked me or anyone with me for POF. All they asked for was our LOI and Canada ended all vaccination requirements since October last year

Drepee:
my portal it’s still saying not enrolled cause enrollment starts before I travel the actual confirmation of enroll is issued on the 10th day of resumption…

I came in for may intake and by March 15th or so we got our invoices for the semester which confirmed payment. And from that March 15 I was shown as enrolled on my portal for May semester and I was even able to access my class schedule so maybe you need to properly verify that

Drepee:
my portal it’s still saying not enrolled cause enrollment starts before I travel the actual confirmation of enroll is issued on the 10th day of resumption….pls where you asked for this enrollment letter at any of the airports at all?

Nobody asked but the Ethiopian airlines checking officer in Abuja asked me to log into my portal to prove I'm a student though I believe the guy was just trying to do busybody

chithec:
Please who traveled with Egyptair recently in 2023
Do I need a vaccination card at the Lagos airport?

I don't know about Egypt air and Lagos but Canada dropped all Covid requirements since October last year including vaccination. I travelled with Ethiopia through Abuja and nobody asked for anything Covid either here or at the POE

hardeyeanc:
Wahala... Is it not better to settle for UK like this..this Canada wahala too much o... What if ones dad is late andur mum is an old person in the village that doesn't have NIN? Because I don't understand

You quoted two people without realising and if you read it well you will see the second person saying he did not put anyone's nin. And neither did I. I put their pictures. My mum had a passport so I added hers

Drepee:
P.S

My school doesn’t issue enrollment letter until start of studies so it won’t be possible to present it at the airport.

My school did not "issue" enrollment letter to me but I could print it out from my school portal. So check if that is possible in your case

Og21:
Any group for Humber College for September 2023?Is Covid vaccination certificate needed for student visa application?I just want to know if it will be needed at any point so I know whether to get it or not..Thanks guys

There is no Covid requirement

Mackie1:

To the best of my own knowledge.. No!
You can do it after applying, before the medical test is requested for.. I don't even think you can do it before applying. How will it be linked to your profile when it's sent to IRCC?

You can do upfront medical anytime you choose as long as it will be valid within a year of your application/entering Canada. I did my upfront medical in October and applied in November

dtrixna01:
Thanks for your response but I don’t understand.

The same way you applied using Form A for your school fees, you can also apply the same in a section called maintenance/upkeep in the same Form A portal under educational purposes

whytey:
Somebody should answer me o

Please what documents are required at the POE?

For my set they only asked for LOI but we were a lot so maybe they just wanted to disperse the crowd. But others have advised to have your admission letter with you as well (LOI is a must and of course your passport)

Benjaminosita:
Please rest no trouble yourself if you are serious email me and see for yourself.
Na wa o 🙄🙄🤨

Lolz I've been in Canada since April 27th. All the info I needed to apply myself was gotten on this forum and Google so you're the probably the one that needs to rest

LumiTee:
Please this is URGENT:
Please my friend who applied to Conestoga College May intake didn't receive application decision on time after 2 months of submission. She finally decided to defer till Fall intake. Unfortunately the PPR came a day after she had deferred. She has been trying to reach the school to tell them to cancel the deferral so that she can resume ASAP but the school hasn't replied her emails and when she tried calling it was entering voicemail.
Is there a contact phone number she can call? Her campus is Kitchener.

If she is for May intake and she is not yet in Canada it is probably better for her to defer. We just finished week 2 and I have already written about 3 graded assignments.(Fanshawe). If Connestoga is the same how will she go about recovering the missed marks

Winnerpoks:





What does debt to the crown mean?

Most likely a chargeback by whoever paid his application fee.

Mightydude:
I'm glad I came across this page, I have been reading through with mixed feelings.

First is the good news from people that have gotten their ppr and second is that it seems my agent is actually not doing anything about my visa, else how do you explain not having any info after 4 months of giving him all the necessary things he needed to kick start the process.

From what I've seen on this thread, I should have atleast done medicals by now.

Pls I need an advice on what to do.

Thank you.

Likely that your agent has submitted nothing. Track him and recover your money

Legend1308:
You see this admission you secure yourself is the only thing I'm having issue with not even the visa application, please bro can you help out if we could help me work on this admission process together. Thank you this is my whatsapp number 08061372113

dtrixna01:
Hello guys. Pls how do I transfer money from a nigerian bank acc to a Canadian bank acc? I don’t want to have to do the black market rate. I’ll be arriving Canada soon.

Form A maintenance/upkeep. In documents add your letter/confirmation of enrollment

OLAN2015:
My apologies for not giving the updates yesterday. Please for anyone applying for study permit, do note that proof of funds is not the only vital criteria. Proper arrangement of your documents is also highly sacrosanct. I recently heard from the International Student Advisory Unit of a Canadian university that the average time a Visa Officer spent on each application is about 6 mins. This means you have a very limited time in convincing the Visa Officer about your application in the midst of hundreds or thousands of applicants. Hence, do ensure to properly structure and present your application and documents in a concise, easily understandable and straightforward manner. I personally recommend using a table of contents so that every section of your application can be seen at a glance. Find below the similar structure I used for mine . I prefer separating my SOP from LOE. My view is that LOE should focus on just explaining the contents of one's application while SOP should focus on everything about oneself (background, course, future plans etc). Wishing you all the best by God's grace.

Lolz what is this. I'm even having headache looking at it. My SOP was just two and a half pages. No LOE and I got my visa. As long as your documents are legible and in the correct section they will see it. It's not an exam or research paper.
However if this is your preferred method to make your mind feel at ease please use it

Benjaminosita:
That is a good idea I have done that severally but no this guide is been sent directly to my email when I bought and which is not just a

Shugharland:
Good afternoon how does one appeal 5 years ban

You are normally given 14 days to appeal the pending decision (procedural fairness or whatever they call it) but that is before the ban is given. Once it is given there is nothing you can do. Do not waste your money on any consultant/agent/ who will tell you they can appeal it. If you are still interested and focused on japa you will need to start looking at other countries

Hello guys I arrived London Ontario last week for Fanshawe. If you are also in the city, I wouldn't mind connecting

Hello guys
Landing Gist

Used Ethiopia airlines through Abuja 26th April. Immigration officials were friendly and even allowed my parents go with me past the traveller only section. I came in about two hours to the flight. At The check in section, the Ethiopian airlines official in charge of checking come day do busybody: passport, admission letter, log into student portal let me see (for my mind I say Shay I go hold visa if I no carry all this things)

After that Paid for my extra baggage( To me it is better to pay for extra baggage in naira in Nigeria than come here and be using scarce FX for food and the rest )

At the airport in Toronto there were a lot of us and all they did was take our Letter of introduction then we signed declaration or whatever form through a machine like an ATM and then they gave us the permits. I didn't see them ask any body any question.

You can also get your SIN number at the airport but there might be a queue. Also do not change dollars at the airport. I opened CIBC bank at the airport and changed in their branch in the city for a very good rate. Got SIM card there as well. From there to my BNB and moved May 2 to my apartment. Finding private bathroom was so stressful, almost all the apartments were sharing bathrooms but got at last

So currently I'm in London Ontario for Fanshawe. If you are around here as well holla.

Arctope:



Thank you for responding bro,
Please can you send me your email I have some more questions for you...pls

My email is omisandetope@ gmail . com , let's discuss via email thank you bro!

Ask me what you want to ask me here

Arctope:



Hey bro,

please I'm trying to apply for a pgc course in Fanshawe College, but the school is saying I have to apply through an agent, how where you able to apply?
Did u do it on ur own or through an agent?

You have asked before and I answered that I used applyboard. You can Google it

eldersir20:


$725, directly opposite main campus. Don't know it's student subletting their room, except i am asking the guy if his roomates already have someone

Ok we will be communicating

eldersir20:


Well, Considering transportation is free in London with your FANcard, i don't think that;s a lot for an apartment like this and with what i have asked around that the price is very good 750/room in London. If you are driving is less than 20 mins and some people also carpool, beside what if you get accommodation close to school and job in over an hour distance. I am just looking for a comfortable apartment that is also affordable. Though i already got one with a private bathroom directly in front of school, just a minute walk, downside is that i have to share the apartment with 4 other people as it is a 5 bed and that seem like a lot. I will eventually go for that if i don't see anyone to take this with.

I get your point but transit has to be considered. 9am lecture means you have to leave by at least 8am. One hour lost on the road no be beans . But anyways I'm still looking at options so I might still look at that.
The one close to the school what's the price and are there still other available rooms?
