JustChairlady:
Is travel history very important for student visa approval by the embassy? What if the applicant doesn't have an international travel history?

Lots of people have gotten PPR without any travel history, myself included

kaystal:
Want to pay 500CAD to the school with form A but paymytuition converted it to Naira and the rate is high.

I don't have experience with paymytution so I don't know how it works.
If it was Flywire you would usually be given the option of making the payment in either USD, POUNDS, CAD, Euros or your Local Currency (Naira usually at a very high rate). Maybe paymytution works in the same way or only uses local currency. As I said I don't have experience with them

[quote author=kaystal post=121719131][/quote]Lolz that is a naira payment. Why are you looking for Form A

Reach2me:
So basically it’s better to wait for medical request then.

The problem with waiting is that after the request, you usually have only 30days given to complete the medical and if all the spaces are booked, you can end up having unnecessary complications

Winnerpoks:
Good morning,

1. is there anyone that got study permit immediately after nysc? Most people here have been on jobs for years but this applicant doesn't have a Job at the moment is this a red flag?

2. As a male applicant, will using your daughter as home ties be enough? Not married to the mum though?

Has anyone been in this kind of scenario before? If yes how did you overcome this on your application

I think that the fact that he's just finishing NYSC therefore low study gap is a plus rather than negative. If his sponsors finances (parents I'm guessing) are ok then there shouldn't be an issue. I submitted in November 2022 and my last "formal" work ended in July 2021 and still got PPR
As for question 2 I wouldn't really know

chithec:
Hi everyone,
A friend said I need the covid-19 vaccination card at the POE
How true is this??

They dropped all their vaccination requirements since last year October

Oldfashioned145:
Where does the flywire reference number go in the form a application

You can add it in brackets in the beneficiary section or you can use the upload additional documents option and upload the payment instructions from Flywire. I did the both

SLOVFO:
Hi everyone,

Do I need to PRINT the IMM5645 FAMILY INFORMATION to SIGN and SCAN it?
I am applying for a study permit (ONLINE).

The said form (IMM5645) cannot be validated online, unlike the others that can be validated online and no need to print and sign it.

I am using the old IRCC portal. I tried the new one but the 2mb file size limit is very limiting.

Please help.

Thanks!

You do not need to print out any of the online forms . You will sign it digitally (it is explained on the portal)

jarule1977:
Please house needs help, I have employment letters, confirmation letters and all promotion letters. the issue is cant approach the boss for letter for this journey. how can one deal with this letter of introduction?

can a colleague help out put his detail for reference?

If it's optional, what advantage is one missing not putting it and how can one mention coming back to the company in the sop if one cant provide an introduction letter from the same company

I got PPR and the only employment document I submitted was a single promotion letter in 2020. Did not submit appointment letter or study leave letter.

socially4fun:
Hi gurus. Do I need a transit visa if my flight lays over in London for 3 hours?

Nope

Welsh2np:
How long are you supposed to make the payment before the invoice expires?

Isn’t it three days?

Lolz three months you mean?

Bernice123456:
Flywire is like black market.
What you do is to open flywire
Put the name of the school you are paying and the amount in CAD
They will show you the equivalent in naira.
Then you go ahead and pay just like every other online payment. Your naira account will be debited.
You should have something like this

This only happens if you choose to pay in naira which is probably more expensive than normal black market rate. If you choose USD CAD or POUNDS, they will give you a foreign account to pay into which you can then use the Form A to process.

Wanice:
Hello everyone, I got admitted to Fanshawe college and I am expected to pay 9k CAD in 30 days but on making enquiries at my bank, I was told that it will take an average of 3 months for my form A to go through. Please has anyone gone through the process and did the school grant a waiver regarding this? My program start date is January 2024. Thanks

1)Try different banks till you figure out the fastest
2) If you fail to make the payment within the 30 days they will withdraw your letter but don't worry. Keep on checking the program/course on their website for your intake. As long as it still shows "open" on their website, you can make your payment and they will give you an
updated letter (Very Important. Do not apply for visa with the old expired Letter).

Angela2023:
Please gurus I want to pay through flywire for fanshawe college but I heard that it is impossible to pay through flywire that I have to pay through form A... please have anybody pay through flywire for fanshawe college... please I need help...am begging

What are you even saying like this? Flywire is a payment partner. They will give you an account number and reference id which is what you will use to fill your Form A. So the two go hand in hand. The bank sends the money to Flywire, Flywire sends it to the school. If you don't want to wait for Form A then you credit the Flywire account through black market directly and once again Flywire sends it to the school

genkins:
Goodday all,can I get admission and process visa for September now?somebody told me most schools are closed for September take in Canada at the moment.pls anyone can confirm for me

Some will have open programs,most will not. You will have to check each school to see which are still open or you can use applyboard and they will filter it for you

Angela2023:
Good day everybody in the house,
Please am trying to pay my first semester tuition deposit to fanshawe college and as I was doing so I was directed to international education partner once I input my nationality as a Nigerian... please has anybody gone through this procedure before.

Please I will like to know the best easy way to pay this first tuition deposit.

Fanshawe collects international payments through Flywire. It's written on your admission letter

Republic001:
Pls bro do u merge ur documents together for.POF and client info or u upload one by one....

They have only one slot for every section eg POF or Client Info. The only way is to merge them together and upload as a single document. Use ILovePdf to merge them if you don't know how to

Bamz555:
NAWA OH. I OFFEND UNA?

The funny thing is someone asked this your question on the same page as you and it has already been answered also on that same page.
A lot of the basic questions asked, if you go through the thread you will see others have already previously asked and been answered but you do not want to read and instead prefer garbage in garbage out.
Page 1 of this thread also contains a lot of information

Republic001:
Guys I need guideline..am starting my application online tomorrow and two things is convincing..under POF and Client info...a page said i.wud merge all documents together before uploading while another one say it's differently just that it's must not exceed 4 mb all together afetr upload..pls which one is right?

Merge them together and do not exceed 4mb

Cath1234:
Please where can one book cheap flight , am going to brantford Ontario… please help me 🥹

Cheap flights is normally by date most of the time. The closer it is the more expensive it is, but feel free to check wakanow or skyscanner

ChiomaMC:
Talking about different bank, don't I need to fund my account in them? or can I initiate form A without money in my account?
Secondly can I fill Form A twice online?

For some banks ,you don't need to find till the approval stage but that is also what I meant by trying different things. It's not just by sitting at home and typing on your phone. Go to the banks. Speak to the customer care. Find out who will be your account officers etc. If not then be prepared to pay through black market
You can initiate a form A transaction as many times as you like. I had about 4 pending.

Angela2023:
Hello @BenedictStinson,
Please I need ur help n guidance I also got admission into fanshaw college, please I was told to pay first tuition fee which is 9350 cad , was it like that on ur own.... please how much is expected to be in ur sponsor' s account as pof likewise ur own. Thanks I ll be waiting for ur reply

My deposit was 9127cad or there about. I actually paid late but I kept checking online on their website to ensure that the intake for my program was still showing as open and hadn't closed. If you pay late they will have to provide you an updated admission letter as the other one becomes outdated so be mindful of that. The amount for your POF should cover your fees (if you haven't paid them) and living expenses for one year minimum which is about 10-12 thousand CAD. If you're using a sponsor, there should be proof of commitment such as them paying your fees and a significant remaining balance as it will not make sense for them to use all their savings just to find your education.
Enquiries like this are better on the student thread instead of this one

johnstan:
Landing gist....

Everything from my admission to my arrival in Canada was my first attempt and I thank God for his grace.

My flight departure time was 1:40pm, it was moved to 1:20pm and I didn't know till I arrived at the airport, thankfully I was there 4 hrs to the time. See crowd (people dey really comot naija o) the place be like island market, noisy, ridiculously small, hot and unorganized.
Got in with fam members who came to see me off and firstly the scanner did not work for several minutes. When it finally worked/scanned my bags, I headed to the airline saying excuse me up n down so I could pass the crowd.
Omo despite all my arrangements the bags were 30kg each instead of 23kg each, na there I begin bargain for the excess luggage and had to settle them before I was able to check-in the bags. From there to immigration and customs, they were very fast, I only submitted my passport/tickets and filled the yellow card.
We left Lagos 40mins late cos everybody wan board at the same time, dem just dey shout *queue up, single line* but e no work. We sha boarded and damn those Ethiopian airline crew ladies fine sha.
My first flight experience and first international flight, I just dey happy dey smile like cow. Food served was actually good just that dem wan use rice choke person. Lunch and dinner na rice every time throughout all the flights.
Flight was good, got to Addis Ababa and mehn come see airport na, large, organized and finally people come queue. We did the usual scanning and routine search and joined the next flight after 2hrs layover. The descending flight at Dublin was the worst, my head wan explode, my belle just dey turning on ein own. It was as though we were falling instead of descending. After an hour of refueling we flew to Toronto from there.
Flight to Toronto was good, we arrived and met the large beautiful airport. See crowd of first time students. I could count the blacks/Nigerians, the rest were Indians/Asians.
We queued, did self declaration (arrive-can was useless) and In a few minutes we were issued our student permits (it's usually the entire duration of the visa/length of program).
Got out of the airport to pick an Uber and it was as though I walked into a deep freezer lol, I immediately wore my winter jacket ontop of the sweater I was wearing, wore my hand gloves and I was fine.

Canada is large and beautiful. Tarred roads, the express had like 10 lanes each. I was debited for the Uber ride immediately I booked unlike naija where you are billed after your ride. The driver Even stopped to buy fuel (in my mind if na naija now u fit stop dey buy fuel when my trip dey read?)

If I could do this myself, I believe anyone can and I pray that everyone still praying and hoping on God will smile at the end.

Omo how the toilet(s) day for the plane because all those hours person go need enter bathroom. I've never needed a toilet on a domestic flight but those are highest an hour plus

johnstan:
I booked for a month. Its a shared apartment (private room, the rest of the house is shared).
It is always expensive if booked close to the end of month or begin of month cos of the high demand. I checked a month to my departure and was getting around $500 - $600, i kept procrastinating and it jumped to $900 - $1000 when i booked.
Housing in Ontario is generally high.

Would you advise Airbnb or a regular 2-3 star hotel/motel? cause the bnbs are looking quite expensive and they apparently have less services than a regular hotel. I am planning on arriving
London Ontario(Fanshawe) late April. Also can you get a phone plan at the airport so you can immediately be equipped before entering ?

ChiomaMC:
The school already extended it till month end which I can't still meet up with the form A. I'm paying 2300+ 7400Cad.

At this point you have to try different options. When I was paying my form A. I opened Uba, Jaiz Zenith and Unity banks account along with my Normal Gt bank just to get the fastest possible option. Find out your account manager(s) and try and plead your case.
End of the month is achievable if they decide to favour you but if not you might probably have to look into paying only the initial deposit of 2300 with black market and then the balance with Form A. The deposit should at least confirm your place in the program and show seriousness on your part though confirm from your school before going through this route

smatadex:
I was told is 172k (current rate) but I saw $150 on their site which is not up to that in Naira. Please help me

I'm guessing you are usually an agent? It should be about 250 or 235 cad(can't recall) total for both application and biometrics. At black market rate of 600n to Cad(a guess) that gives you 150k

Hello guys by the grace of God I will be arriving London Ontario late April to resume May at Fanshawe. I want to ask is it better to get an Airbnb or a 2-3 star hotel of similar price because a lot of the bnbs I'm seeing are looking quite expensive plus they probably won't provide the services that hotels do. Also if you have a link for house to rent around London from May I will also be interested. Plus has anyone use Motor Court Motel in London? What was your experience?

Tonidablaze:
Hello, greetings to you nice meeting you, I'm
Tony, I'm interested but I don't really know where to start from... I don't mind if you can be of help, thanks.

Enddystar:
To my experienced brothers & sisters here, please what next after PPR? I had wanted to travel now against September but someone suggested I'll not be able to work until the school enrolls me. In that case, I will have to wait.

What should I know about? Where do I start from, accommodation, flight, etc.

My school is in Toronto (York Uni) and I won't mind a shared apartment. Any group? Thanks

You can't work till start of class. The earlier you book the flight, the cheaper it is normally. Accomodation can usually be sorted once you land though you can start scouting before you arrive on kijiji and other sites

Cleverbaby:
Good evening all.
Please I need your help urgently
I have a CGPA of 2.46 and I recently applied to a college in Canada for a post graduate course and I got rejected cause of my low grades.
Truth be told what I’m after is different from what I studied and I had no passion there and finally there is an opportunity for me to do what I want and have interest in
Please any advice or what to do or suggestions on schools that I can apply to and might accept me even with the low CGPA
Thank you
