Are you now into student recruitment? Because some of your arguments are based on sentiment rather than fact. With the current projected figures, more than half of temporary residents in Canada will not get PR—take it or leave it. Please look at the data yourself and see how many students will be without PR this year, still with no option. Do you think everyone can manage arranged employment, which is not even cheap?

I would not advise people to fall for the PGWP offer for 4-year BSc courses that fall into management programs, which are not cheap. You will struggle to find work, even for those who finish earlier and are looking for arranged employment to gain the work experience needed for PR. Please educate people to focus on the Express Entry route to get PR instead of rushing into the expensive student route.

We can see that many students are facing difficulties paying those huge fees and are uncertain about the pathway to PR. I know HND/ND students who arrived via Express Entry as PRs from Nigeria, and some older individuals who learned French and got ITA with a lower CRS score. So, why the rush to enter a college or university in Canada, which the majority cannot even afford.

So were you still given work permit even with the fact that you stated that you are just going to settle in for 8 weeks then return to your home country.
I just got a letter of acceptance at Dalhousie University and I am planning to relocate with my hubby and 3 kids. I am just thinking how we can convince the visa officer that we will be returning to our home country after my studies. Please all i need your advice on this.
Tnx in advance

I appreciate and congratulate you on your PR achievement, but please stop giving false hope with ur statements 'you will see work tired.' It is a bogus and unrealistic claim given the current state of Canada, where many professionals are struggling to find jobs. Even survival jobs are not easy to get, as more and more people are arriving in Canada, but job creation is not keeping up with the increasing population.l pray God help many new arrival struggling to found work or in a low pay job that hardly covers increasing cost of living.

The birth rate arugment cannot be table before canadian voters and no party will raise that in an election year as Many Canadians are frustrated with rising unemployment, even newcomers struggling to find professional work, along with high housing costs, the cost of living, and overcrowded schools and daycares, with little development to support the growing population. Many believe these issues stem from uncontrolled immigration. There's also concern that colleges may lose funding or even close due to low enrollment from international students. However, many argue that education should not rely solely on funds from foreign students, as this adds strain to already stressed social services.

It’s going to be tough, and it may not favor immigrants if she wants to increase her party's chances. With the federal election likely happening within the next two months as the new prime plan to call an early election , the Liberals will need to act quickly. Currently, Liberal ratings aren’t favorable, and immigration with the economic is a major issue. Even recent poll show that Over 80% of newcomers feel Canada is bringing in too many people without proper planning, and most Canadians believe immigration levels are too high. To improve her party’s image, she’ll need to take decisive actions, such as reducing immigration numbers, deporting overstayers, and cutting student visas. These steps may be the only way to secure a win, or else Pierre Poilievre Conservatives will win the next election

Hmmmm..New canada 🇨🇦 immigration minister is a woman ...Rachel Bendayan will take over from marc miller .

The 16 month duration criteria is for spouse or family accompanying the main applicant via SOWP or family work permit not really for the PGWP itself.

To qualify for PGWP is automatic for all Doctoral
Masters and undergraduate Degree programme. Only Colleges or non undergraduate programs from Universities requires specific programme (STEM, Health, Agric, Construction and Early Childhood Education) to qualify for PGWP.

Pekela:
Good morning my people

Please I would like to know if it's still allowed for student going for masters to travel with their dependants on their application.

Thanks

Jeboy:
For experienced contributors in the house, what do I need to get a study permit from IRCC when my wife has also just finished her 2 yr program in Canada and gotten 3 yr PGWP.

Will well paid salaried job, family members, church as well as home ties be enough if SOP is adequqtely covered?

captainking:
Ain't business courses under management sciences?? Which Is categorized under stem
Source...Canada website....

captainking:
I doubt what you are saying..
Business courses are part of stem..you can verify yourself from Canadian website

Hi everyone, please I just submitted my family visa application. While filling the form I did not see the column for family information form like I saw in a YouTube video. I heard the family information form is compulsory but I didn't see it among all required IMM documents displayed that I am to fill and upload. I submitted my application without it because there was no designated section to upload it in my application. Please, is this a problem for my family visa application? What can I do about it. Should send via web form

amila20042001:
Sure, getting CAC done now would raise an eyebrow but that wouldn't stop you from getting it, but you would have to double your effort in convincing the VO that your business has been operational for many years.

Stick to business related course since you are already in business and argue your case that the business program will be instrumental in strategically positioning your business and moving it to the next level. Canada don't do interviews, so your SOP is where you explain your case and convince the VO , while backing up your claims with relevant documents.

Good luck sir!

Grfront:
Hello everyone. I have question.
I want to apply for MAY intake. 8months program.

1. I want to register my business name with CAC this month. Would it raise suspicion if I add it on my visa application Considering date of registration which would be less than a year. I have always worked for myself and get about 2m monthly in profit. I'm into buying and selling business, sometimes importing. ( It is a red flag, where have you been saving the profit from the business?)

2. Ill be 30 next year,I want to study business related courses in MAY,maybe switch to tech and I don't have previous school attended except Sec school over 13 years ago. (No, please go and check the courses that are eligible for PGWP now, before choosing one)

3. I have a good background knowledge in web development. Should I add to it, while applying? (It is better to focus on IT field than business related field)

4. Which link to home ties can I get done to make my visa acceptance rate high? ( It depends on your profile, you can use your family, your business, your investments, land)

5. Not married. (LOL, no wahala, look for a good lady to marry o, cold dey Canada)


I'll appreciate a response.

dzionyte:
if you plan to move with ur family, apply with PR in mind, start with a program that gives PGWP.. If the conservatives wins the next election, it'll be game over for immigrants

jjbest123:
Guess because of the exchange rate 😁😁😁😁 are you an Igbo man? 🙌🙌

jjbest123:
Without a valid reason like new visa application,is kind of difficult,and it cost more.

jjbest123:
No! You can do that when you have six months left.

Viewoliver:
Can I merge the documents showing my immigration status in the UK with my passport?

Viewoliver:
Are you advising I should use the old portal?Though I am planning to submit before then. My problem now is size to accommodate all my documents

Viewoliver:
Yes, I am almost done filling the questionnaire before I realized it is a new portal. I am thinking of deleting it and start with the old portal. I have some documents to upload because of my situation and I feel 2MB will not be enough for all my documents. Please advise. Thank you.

Bobomaigida:
Hello, does anyone know what a passport holder can do to resolve passport not found in the system error from the NIS website when trying to apply for passport renewal from abroad?

Viewoliver:
Thank you very much. I thought of this and I believe it is best thing to do considering my situation. I have a lot of payslips from my employer and all my monthly salary have reflected in my statement of account. For evidence of my capacity to pay the remaining fees for the 2nd year at least by May or June, just last month I got variation of contracts (voc) from my employer for increment of hourly rate and working hours. So there is an increase in my income as shown in the last payslip. Though I may not have a complete living expenses for the 2nd year b4 resumption becos of some other expenses I am going to do back home. I believe this will suffice.

Viewoliver:
Please I need your swift response on the correct way to fill in here.
Here is my situation: Going for a 2 years diploma program. I have paid the entire fees for the first year plus 950 CAD into the school year fees. I have complete living expenses for the 1st year in my account. No money for the second year fees and living expenses at the moment but I will pay off the tuition fees by latest June and save more money for 2nd year living expenses by the end of August. School resumption is September, 2. I am confused now because if I fill the total of tuition fees for 2 years as demanded and also total of 2 years for living expenses, then my "fund available" at the moment will be less. Please what is the best way to fill these places considering my situation? Thank you for your response.

modskiller:
Hello peeps.

Please I’d like to ask if one can open an account then put a lump sum inside mainly for study purpose and present it (2weeks/3weeks) statement of account for a student visa application then state the source of such fund in a letter.

Or should one just use an old account that has more than 6 months statement history then pay the lump sum inside and explain the source of the lump sum.

Thank you…

Hello Guys,

How are you all doing today? please I need some advise on my Canada visa situation. I have been refuse a visa into Canada twice before, the last being January 2025. Currently my wife is granted a Study permit and currently doing her MBA in Canada, she travelled January 2025. Now the agent that h3lp me to submit her visa advised that I shouldn't put my application yet and that I submit my children application first. Then I can submit my own afterward(once my children visa is granted) which is a wonderful plan, however he submit a visitor visa application for them.
Whilst everybody is telling that the visitor visa, she submitted for children was wrong and he should submitted a study permit for them because it could take up to six months to get response from IRCC. hence I can't wait that long! because every month I wait bill is racking up on my neck in canada and nigeria. This has mental affected my wife and myself.
Also I was told that travelling agent misinformed us and that I should have submitted all the application together with my children because there is no waiting time to reapply after a refusal. I can show a substantial amount as a POF in my account.
Please I need an advise what should I do? because am thinking to withdrawing the visitor application for my children and resubmitting everything all at once.
Thanks.

Duchess102:
Hello everyone, I am a student in Canada. please is there exception for study permit application fee or biometrics for a minor of 4years, I will be submitting her application along with my husband's SWOP. I have IRCC account can I create a GCKEY account with my information and use the same account to apply for my family. I will also be submitting the application on their behalf from inside Canada, is that a good idea or I should allow my husband do that from outside. Lastly please, will need to fill a representative form for my child or my husband should do that?
