Nazkid1:
I’m a second time applicant, please while writing my second SOP do i need to state that i was recently denied?

Off Course that is the reason you are reapplying. They already you were denied. So you have to mention it and address their concerns very well, with real and veritable evidence.
May God grant you grace and wisdom!
The Gurus can explain better. This is just my opinion.

I have been thinking in that direction too. They would have reduced the full time clause to part time, then I will be excited. People will lose sleep to take full advantage... which may impact the GPA of the students. All the same, Let's thank God for this opportunity first. When they see the effects, they may adjust further. I believe Canadian Government thinks and plans well for international students and their welfare. Just my opinion on the lifting of the 20hrs per week maximum work hrs.

Good evening. Please what’s the difference between a graduate certificate and post graduate diploma. Which is best and advisable in terms of getting a visa for someone who has a Bsc already.

First, you need to find out which course aligns with your career progression.
Secondly, Do you have enough fund for 2yr program... most PGD's are 2 years.
3rdly, PGD will give you more years for Post Graduate work permit.
If you have the funds to show for two years. Go ahead with PGD. Otherwise, settle for PGCert...Course Credits/load is smaller and usually usually for 1 yr(2 semester).

Since you have booked for medical exam, go ahead with your documents and support as soon as your are satisfied and ready. Upfront Medicals can either be submitted with your application or uploaded via webform after you have submitted your application. In my case, i booked for medical before submission. Then i went for medical 2 days after biometric. Then i sent my medical tracking sheet via web form and email to Embassy in Lagos. I also requested for my result from the clinic and they forwarded it to me and send directly same result to IRCC. My Medical was updated 10 days after the exam. God helped me and fast tracked it. Now am waiting for eligibility review and I pray it will come successful and quick too. It will all end in Praise!

Bambi222:

Do not pay a dime for capturing after payment online, it's a scam, don't mind them.

I have captured after one week of submission online but I had to pay additional 20k. Same with others who came as well. They made it non-negotiable in PHC. We had no choice. My PCC came out later in the evening of same day. Painful part is that it's valid for only 3 months.

Greattestman:
Sorry, I seriously do not have idea about this sir.

Eventually, I called a friend of mine in Police State CID in Port Harcourt. He told to come over to the office and directed me to a business center opposite the State CID. I made my online application and payment within 15mins and got my online receipt and sms immediately. I had to pay N1500 to the business center for the job and another N500 for POS. I can confirm that N30k I paid online is just for Police Head quarters in Abuja. My friend said I should prepare around 20k for biometric.... invitation will be sent via sms after three days. So generally, it will cost N100k to obtain Police Character certificate (PCC). Something that was obtainable with N10k early this year. The big Boyz in Abuja want to Cash out on all of us that want to Japan! Nigeria we hail thee!

Sorry, its blue paper. I made a typo error. I think I should just leave USA in the meantime and focus on Canada Since i have their Letter of Acceptance. I have already contacted them and they want me to pay for the tuition for first semester = CAD 9000 in order to secure my seat as classes are filling up quickly. They also said that this payment will add more credence to my VISA application.

CreativeWeb:
Hello. I thought blue paper is denied when one is denied visa under section 214b.

Check the yellow paper and see section what you were denied.

Greattestman:
Chrisoo I also dont know much about this, but i suggest you go with two bank statements (the one on your i-20 and your brother's personal bank statement if he is willing to do that). Explain to the vo and let him/her know your brother is willing to cover the remaining deficit when need arises. Hope this helps.

Thank you, Greattestman.

Travel › Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by chrisoo(m): 2:33pm On Jul 08, 2022

Thanks a lot. Its quite reassuring.

Moshkom:
In the embassy of today, they don’t stress documents ‘seeing’ unlike before, just sound convincing to the VO on who is covering your deficit and what he or she does.
So, just get your i20. Even the school won’t care about the duration, just make the deficit available to them and they will give you your i20.
Get your i20 and move to the next stage. Don’t stay long on doing the most average thing.

No Time; No Available Visa Date Outta There.
Shoot!!!

Good Luck Champ!
