Yeah you can change your course to a 1year course.

However, please note that it is important that your POF shows adequately the following:

1. That you can make payment for your fees during the duration of your study (1yr/2yrs) and avoid lump sum as much as you can.
2. If you are self sponsored, it must show that you can cover for your living expenses also,
3. If you have a sponsor, your sponsor must be able to show that after financing your school fees and living expenses, he/she will have enough to cater for his/her dependents and run his/her business effectively without fear of running bankrupt except the sponsor is a salary earner.

Cheers

Merry Christmas guys.

Pls can I change my 2 years course to a 1 year course in CENTENNIAL COLLEGE for May 2022 admission, because I just realised I'm going to need a POF of about $56k (N20m range) which I don't think I can't realistically raise.

I realised its better to secure a 2 year admission to get a 3 year PGWP, but POF no dey ground 4 now.

I have received a pre-admission letter (to receive LOA upon payment of deposit fee of $2650). Although I'm still waiting for admission from CONESTOGA COLLEGE.

Chief, the process is the same irrespective of where you have previously studied, the only advantage you may have is faster consideration for admission from whichever DLI you apply to.

Try to consider applying for a higher degree than MSc to reduce the chances of refusal or if you opt to go for college, you should try not to use your MSc certificate. Your CV/work experience can cover for the educational gap when applying for your student visa provided they are in the same line as your first degree.

However, we have had scenarios where people applied for PGD and went ahead to submit their MSc certificates and still got approval but the risk is higher going that route.

Cheers chief

Hello,
I intend moving to canada from UK next september. Is the process entirely different? Do i stand a higher chance? I am presently studying for an M.Sc. which i will be done with by may 2022 so i will not be able to apply for a Ph.D. I intend applying for another M.Sc. or even a graduate diploma. Will this be a red flag ?

If you are fully vaccinated. You are not required to fully quarantine. Have a quarantine plan in place, you will be tested on your arrival to Canada, once negative, you are a free bird but this might take up to three days, hence the need for a quarantine plan.

My advice, just be truthful about your details as what you write and say now might be used for or against you in future.

I don't see dual citizenship as a disadvantage, all you need do is explain genuinely why you are going to study your chosen course. Which of the two countries are you mostly deep rooted in the past years with respect to your work experience, family closeness that can make you claim home ties easily. Try as much as possible to make your source of funding come from where you have reside the most and where you intend using for home ties. I think you will be fine. Cheers

Semtu:
Please, is dual citizenship a positive or negative factor for Canadian study visa?

I am a citizen of Nigeria and South Africa, and getting ready to submit my visa application. I want to know if this will positively or negatively affect my visa application, so I will know how to tailor my letter of explanation.

PPR ALERT GUYS !!!!!

I was so so happy guy got my ppr today.

I just want to post on here so as to motivate anyone whose still waiting for ppr or whose about to submit the application.

WHAT GOD CANT NOT DO DOES NOT EXIST. God has been wonderful to me.

Am 40years no BSC no other qualifications apart from weac result and neco. But I put everything in Gods hand before I submitted my application.

I got my admission August 8 but defer my admission to Jan 10,2022 because I couldn’t meet up to submit my application for September intake.

I finally submit September 20, 2021
Biometric September 27,2021
That’s when the waiting started
November 19,2021 I finally got medical request
Because no booking space I got booking to December 7,2021
December 11, 2021 my medical was updated to passed.
December 13,2021 I was sitting watching movie on my iPad when I got the message for Correspondent letter and Ppr

I don’t waste time I went to send my passport first before I start to send this message.

What I will say is don’t let anyone discourage you in anything you want to do in life. Try and fail it’s better than not trying at all.

When I wanted to apply people keep saying am old for diploma course at the age of 40. But I don’t get discouraged at all. I decided to gather all the documents myself.

Here are the list of documents submitted

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE/SOP
CONTRACT OF ENROLLMENT
RECEIPT FOR FEES PAID
AFFIDAVIT FOR DATE OF BIRTH
HIGH SCHOOL CERTIFICATE AND TRANSCRIPT
RESUME/CV
COMPUTER TRAINING / RECOMMENDATION LETTER
EMPLOYMENT LETTER WHERE I WAS WORKING

uote author=heydamiejay post=108456022]LONG POST ALERT

MARCH 2021 i got conditional offer from centennial college to study human resource management (pgd) i took a pause for 5months because i did not have enough money to pay for my deposit to get the proper admission letter (LOA), and also i did not have any means to to get proof of funds for visa application .so i had a friend who i said i could use his account he is into construction ,he had a balance of 20million but he wont be able to transfer the money to my account cos it is for his work.i remember asking a guru here if its possible to use a friends account and he was like 3rd party is not guarantee but nothing is impossible.so i took faith and use the account ,the worst will be a rejection and i will re strategize for my next application .i did not pay any deposit required by the school i just went ahead to use the admission deposit letter to apply.

As at when i applied in july 31 the statement of i used was 2moths late,it was not recent it was printed as at June 2nd ,i did not know the statement of account to be use has to be printed few days to your application to show its recent ,but i had already submitted my application.

my sop was just one page very scattered ,i wrote the wrong passport number in my sop .when i was addressing my sponsor i just wrote he is my uncle i did not add any picture or documents to prove relationship ,my home ties i said i had my mum and my dad back home to come back to .
After 3moths and 2weeks i decided to send a web form to remind ircc that i need a decision to know my next step in life.i sent the web form like 2ce, after then i just got feed up and i stopped checking,maybe because i have not even paid any school fee that might even be the reason for delay ,i paid for gcms notes with @mekano i was even reluctant to send my details ,he called to follow up for my details till now i have not still sent it cos i gave up on the application. 3rd week of November i decided to check my account but i could not access it ,it continued like that for over a week ,last friday i just decided to try it on another browser and behold it was original passport request(PPR) it dropped since on the 7th of December but saw it on the 10th,mind you my phone screen is bad so i did not have access to my mail i tried opening it on my system but was giving me plenty authentication wahala i just left it .

when i saw the ppr i ran out of my office was jubilation on the street telling my mum the good news .the lord did it when i was almost giving up no school fee paid ,no plenty documents submitted i used a total outsiders account for proof of fund ,all indication was against me but he turned it around for me for good .thank you Lord, i pray this favor goes round

But someone said now that if u are fully vacinated, u will only wait for 3days for ur test to be out, u will not do 14days quarantine @hoodboy, pls confirm
Travel / Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 20 by CalcreteJB(m): 7:03pm On Dec 06, 2021
I actually spoke to CBSA and they confirmed as a student, you have to leave the banned country to a third unbanned country for 14days, get a molecular covid test done in that country after 14days and must be 72hrs prior to when you will enter Canada. Another test will be done on entering Canada before heading for another 14days quarantine. A last test will now be done after the 14days quarantine in Canada. So all in all, na 1month quarantine a student go do both outside and inside Canada. I hope that's clear

Tinakem:
I'm hearing different stories that third country Covid test is only for Canadian and PR holder and students will not be allowed in. I'm just fed up of this different news here and there

New Virus is no more effective!! �

The WHO and Coronavirus experts are increasingly convinced the new Omicron variant is ‘super mild’ and has, so far, not led to a jump in Covid death rates anywhere in Southern Africa.

The WHO is calling this morning for countries to drop travel restrictions and end the mass hysteria, and instead be cautiously optimistic as more and more reports out of South Africa suggest the new Omicron variant is not more lethal than the previous Delta variant.

Thanks, I called and they confirmed that.

Gift212:
There's no rule against this. The ban says exactly that, if you have been in the banned countries in the last 14 days you won't be allowed in. When India was banned for months this is what they did too, transited through another country for 14 days or more and onwards to Canada. No one will penalize you for following the rule. The ban isn't against Nigerians, it's against foreign nationals flying into canada from Nigeria with 14 days.
