Hello,

PGD or PGC would be his best option in my opinion.

Transcript evaluation is dependent on the school he chooses.

What abbreviations are confusing?

Naughtyvirgin:
good evening to the gurus and other members on here.. I'm trying to help my younger bro secure an admission into any good school in canada but also whose tuition is not so high. He graduated from a university in Cotonou and had a gpa of 2.63. my question is can he go for an M.sc with this or should he shoot for a PGD?. Also i know when applying to schools in USA one needs to evaluate his transcript through evaluation bodies but i dont know if the same rules applies to schools in Canada?. kindly help out on this as the abbreviations i see on here is quite confusing. Thanks

Congratulations on your approval Damlovey.

Go and do exploits.

Hey Sally, posting the sky scanner web link the way you did contravenes nairaland rule no. 6. Just a heads-up.

sillysassysally:
Its a site...
https://skyscanner dot net
They have the cheapest flights I've seen anywhere...

You keep getting banned because you keep breaking a nairaland rule. Rule no. 19. Not only are you breaking this rule, you're doing it blatantly. Check the rules above the reply/comment box.
Another rule you're breaking is the private message rule. You keep writing "pm me". It's so obvious the moderators are against this but will you see their obvious disapproval? Mba!

Welcome back. I hope you last longer this time around.

OptimusPrime21:
He just did like three times, double checked the tracking number and DOB...all are correct..still saying no records but I checked it this morning and it was saying still at canadian visa office...it's me Kez911...my former moniker was banned...

Thank you for the clarification. I'll suggest you go back to the guy and let him know so he doesn't get it twisted.

Frankrobbn1:
My bad! That was a typo. , I meant to say if it was the applicant first time of applying for a temporary resident visa to Canada, then he/she is expected to submit their fingerprint at the visa application centre (VAC) and pay the required fees of 85$ prior to application submission. On the basis that it is the second application, then he/she isn't suppose to submit their fingerprints as the previous refused application details including the biometrics is valid until a decade.

Thanks Bracha for calling to my attention!

Hi Frankrobbn1, could you please explain the parts in bold to me. It sort of contradicts what I know. Do you mean that first applications so not need to submit fingerprints? Aren't fingerprints a part of the biometric identification? Also if they do not submit fingerprints, as a form of biometrics, what then is valid for 10 years?
Thank you.

Frankrobbn1:
Is this your first application? If yes, you don't need to submit your fingerprint to the visa application centre because your biometrics is valid until a decade time. On the other hand, assuming it's not your first time of applying for a temporary resident visa to Canada, you're opt to pay for your biometrics fees $85 prior to the submission of your application. Normally, a biometrics instruction letter (BIL) drops within 24-48hrs after application submission. At this time if the above scenarios doesn't apply to you. Your sporting chance is to raise a CSE to the processing visa office Kenya to assist you with this issue nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca

Best of luck and keep the house posted.

I cannot help you with the review, I'm sure someone else will do that. I just wanted to say that if the information on the SOP is important, don't whittle it down. Leave it that way. You need all the help you can get to convince the visa officer who would be going through your application. It 4 pages of SOP will get you that application, leave it at 4 pages.

Always remember to go straight to the point and be as concise as possible, no rigmarole.

Good luck.

GucciOluwa:
Good evening house.
I need help reviewing my SOP, it’s three pages and I’ve tried reducing it but it feels like vital information will be left out if it is reduced any further. Please helpppppp

Austacus please help.

Shadypoza:
Hello everyone, i really need advise from the gurus in d house.
I applied via online since June 10, 2018 for a student study permit. This month makes it a year since my application. My visa app is been processed at London office and I've sent countless mails to London VO and d MP of Scarborough in Ontario, (dts whr my skol is located) yet still no intervention nor reply from d VO.
Now, am considering withdrawing my application by mid June 2019 only if i still don't get any news from cic or London visa office so i can reapply again.
Please house, i need guidance as to wat to do abt this whole situation, cos this thing is really a lot to deal with. Mind u, i already ordered n received a GCSM note.
While applying 4d study permit, i didn't do any upfront medicals. Someone pls help a brother out with suggestions n how to go abt this

VFS Global, Manor Hall, Lekki

sillysassysally:
Thanks for the heads up!
Please am i meant to pick up the passport from anifowoshe or from the VFS office in lekki?

A test requirement should be the least of your worries... Funds, home ties, career progression, these should be your main concern.

Ekunsgreat:
Any Canada university that doesn’t require any test

Did you use an agent? If no, was it an online application? Have you submitted your biometrics within the past 8-9 months?

atamanekpen:
Hi guys. Pls I need assistance. I submitted an application since May 5th?up till today no biometric request. Status is submitted. Pls help am confused

If your application has been finalised and you can't withdraw the application, then I suggest you wait for the final decision.

Damlovey:
Morning ma'am, I linked it already, I got the correspondence letter in the account. There's been no update, all it says is we are processing your application and eligibility review

No. I meant if you'd done an upfront medical, your approval still wouldn't be certain. But if you'd been requested to go for the medical examination, then the chances of approval would be high.

Sha be available to collect it within 30 days of the collection request.

johnsonsegxy:
You mean after they telling me 'my processed passport is ready for collection', they will state it that i need to go for medical? Na paper route tho... Me nor understand tho... I am not in Nigeria now to go to Lagos and collect it, in neighboring country now sha

I'd have expected you to link your paper application to an online account already, bit from what you said it seems you haven't done that. I'll advise you do so ASAP, to know the status of your application. If the linking isn't successful, just go to VFS Global like that, with the receipt you were given.

Good luck.

Damlovey:
Good morning friends. Please it’s been 4months since I submitted my application (paper route). Thanks to everyone who have in one way or the oother helped me. Please I really do not know what to do again, missed resumption and had to defer to September 2019.
AApplied Jan23
Medical request April 2
Medical passed April 18
Biometric correspondence May 6
However there’s been no update since then neither have I gotten my passport back. Got a response to a webform I sent saying “ your application has been finalized “ on 7th of May. I have tried calling vfs countless times but it’s not been going through. I want to withdraw the application but I was told I can’t since the application has been finalized. Please I don’t know the next step to take, I need all suggestions whatsoever. Thank you

Yas baby! Yaaaaaasssss!!!! I don't know if it's ready for pick up, i'm just happy your counterfoil has been appended and you have been officially approved! You go girl!

sillysassysally:
Hi fam,

Please I got this update on my portal. Does it mean that my passport is ready for pick-up?

This stats is crazy and also refreshing. Countries whose citizens you expect to enter and exit as at when due - UK, Canada, Germany, China, etc - are the ones even overstaying. Wow!

Kolping:
Well...one of the highest.

Nearly two-thirds of the overstays (64 percent) were by citizens of 15 countries, which are listed in Table 2.

I think it has to do with his own family member, so he can't share it here.

MsJu:
Hello Viber, thank you for the support you give here. I think it's better you share the info here so that future applicants can also benefit from it.

It's not a school familiar to most people here that's why you haven't received any answers. I'll suggest that if you can, you should change the school to another one.

holluville:
hello house... thanks to everyone contributing one or two things here... kudos. I'll like to know if anyone has any information on admission requirements or anything about the University College of the North Manitoba... thanks

Thank you for telling us it's your personal belief and not facts.

abusmanlouis:
I believe there are numbers of people that the high commission need to grant study permit to every month, when the qualify numbers are completed/meant at the time of VO checking your documents, every little mistake in ur application is straight refusal. Pray like you have never prayed before.

Where did you get this please?

abusmanlouis:
There are lots of points on the basis of which the Canadian Embassy decides whether to grant visas or not. Where some major or key points are;

Your Academics Should be fulfilled the Basic requirement of the country, college and course admission you have applied for. You should have enough marks in your last academics with relevant subjects.
IELTS is also an important factor in visa approval and rejection. So you have to fulfill the IELTS requirements as per the program you are going to apply.
In Canada, approximately 1 to 1.5 year gap is acceptable after your last qualification. Apart from it, if you have gap more than the given time relaxation you need to provide a genuine gap activity of that period. Without any activity if you have gaps, you can face visa rejection.
You should have sufficient amount to pay your Fee and for Your living in Canada During your period of Study there.
Your intention to go there to study should be clear, not to settle there.

Chibertha sorry to hear about your refusal. Just take a few days to soak it all in and rest, then rise again and re-fire.
By God's grace it'll work out this time around.

Good luck.

Please check the first page of this thread for information.

Princeola36:
please gurus in the house kindly advise,
I was refused a work permit in october because i do not have an LMIA number which i do not have knowledge of at that time, now i have been offered an admission for a graduate program at a university in Albert resuming fall 2019 and need to apply for a study permit. kindly advice on my eligibility, how i am to write my letter of explanation and any other information/suggestions that could help with my application. Thank you.

Please this is wrong. It was NOT a study permit application. It was a visit visa application, I mean, it was clearly stated there.

Dera12345:
That can be a study visa rejection letter. Study visa rejection letter can also starts with “Thank you for your interest in studying in Canada.”
And note, both study visa and visitor visa are types of temporary resident visa.

It's a visiting visa. If it were a study permit, it'd have been plainly written. You'll see “Thank you for your interest in studying in Canada” instead of a visiting visa.

Pele, take heart and retry on your own.

Greyworld:
Okay thnks. But yu re certain it aint study permit? pls check the reasons for d refusal also the first line " Temporary Resident Visa". I wanna be sure before i go confrontational wif sm1. lol. tnks

Yup

slushy:
Thank you Bracha. I have now opened a GC key account. In the questionnaire where it asks me how long I am to stay. I have chosen Temporarily more than 6 months. Is this correct ? Thanks once more

One can ascertain the centre processing their applicationafter submission of said application. Just send an email or a web form to any of the centres - London, Nairobi, Lagos - and if that centre is the wrong one, they'll forward that email to the right one, and may even copy you in that forwarded email. The right application centre will respond, even if it takes days.

abelorode:
Online or paper route, you can't be certain on the center handling your application. The first step of action you should take is to chose economics, which is related to your BSc. Make your next application simple as possible

The GC key thing is actually pretty self-explanatory, BUT, I'll go over it.

GC Key is Government of Canada Key, and a signing in/signing up pattern for the CIC website. Another type of signing in pattern is with bank cards (the first option before GC Key).

If you're going for online application, sign in/sign up with GC Key because you don't have an account with those banks/financial institutions.

When you've signed up online, the list of documents will appear on your application page. Or, you can Google the “list of documents for Canada study permit.”

Good luck.

slushy:
Hello guys. Please I need a bit of help. I am trying to apply for a study permit myself. I want to apply online Can anyone please list the documents I’ll need to submit?
Also I noticed when I opened the CIC site and clicked apply online they were talking about a GC key and another thing. Can anyone please help me explain what these mean? Thanks.

O boy calm down abeg. If you die of hypertension now, who go go submit the passport when the request come? Breathe in, and out. Then repeat. Now is the time to pray, ain't nobody know what would happen from here onwards. All we can do is assume and conjecture.

It's left to you to pray, believe, pray believe, and repeat.

Good luck

hardeholar1:
Is there anybody who got correspondence letter before medicals and has gotten approval
My heart beat fast
And I need postive story to keep me up in spirit
Please I need response
@Sillysally, @Quokum

Hopefully not, but it is possible for an application to develop “complications” even after passport has been requested.

Anyhow, I think leaving it on eligibility review is how it's done until they issue a counterfoil then it changes to approved and then closed, I think. If it's all the same to you, send them the email reminding them of your resumption if it's close at hand.

Hopefully they respond quickly and it all ends well.

sillysassysally:
Thanks dear, I hope they don't delay any further... This one that my portal is still showing that I am still under eligibility and background checks, is it possible for them to reject my application at this stage? lol

If you want to wait for GCMS note to arrive before reapplying, you may have to defer that admission, because the note takes almost 30 days to arrive. And at that time, processing time may be higher.

Kes911 can walk you through on how to apply for the note.

Micmay1:
Please house, I was recently denied TRV and I need help on how to order for my GCMS notes. I want to restrategize towards reapplying by July cos my school will be resuming in Sept 2019. Thanks in advance

Are you applying in Canada or to Canada? If it's in Canada, I would take it to mean you're in Canada already probably on a visit visa, which means you have to come back to Nigeria to apply.

Doueme:
Hello everyone
I'm about to reapply for study permit in canada. How do I proof ties to my home country apart from family? Please I need your help
