How Can I address this issue in rejection letter. You state that you are self-employed and generate annual income of 11,000,000.00 NGN. I see you provided a letter to support this. But, the documents do not show your business is active and profitable or generates a regular income, nor prove how you derive your stated income from the business. it is unclear whether you are employed as declared or how you generate your stated income. This damages the credibility of your application and raises concerns about your intentions to travel to the UK at this time.

I intend go add my CAC document to prove business is active but how do I prove the business is profitable or generates a regular income

giselle237:
they all get to fill different visa forms and pay fees each. When asked mention who is travelling on each person’s form. Your mum has d strongest application.
It would have been better if ur brother has made his Canadian trip, returned to Nigeria thereby showing proof of reliability/home ties. Plus he is unemployed for now. Very shaky app . Can swing anywhere. Your niece’s application is lacking. U have not really explained anything, why should the visa be approved? U need more documentation.
Plus it is not enough to say they re travelling
All must address reason for uk trip
What they would be doing each and everyday of the trip
What is the reason niece must travel now? No school? Why one parent not going? Verifiable reason why? the list is endless

Thanks for your response. I will add a letter explaining the purpose of the trip, school is on holiday, niece always spends summer holidays with grandma, parents are working and all that.
My other question is after paying for each of them, would they submit their documents together to VAC or it will be submitted individually?

Morning everyone,
I'm in the process of submitting a visitor visa application for my mom, brother (21 yrs), and niece (5 yrs). Background - Mom is self-employed but did not register her business. I usually use local government levy receipts as proof of business for Canada applications. My mom has visited me in Canada twice. Mom and brother recently got approved for 5 years visa to Canada but they have never traveled together. My brother has been to Dubai, Kenya, and Ghana. My niece does not have a Canada visa but she has traveled to Dubai with her parents. I will be their sponsor. My brother is currently serving NYSC, so unemployed.

Documents I plan to submit
Affidavit of sponsorship from me and My statement of account. (Naija/Canada and job letter)
Mom's statement of account. (I plan to transfer 3m to the account from my account)
My brother's statement of account (he has some activity from buying and selling things but no official job).
Letter from my niece's parents stating they approve the trip.
Birth certificates for proof of relationship
My questions are am I missing anything?
And how do I submit a family application? Do I submit a separate application for each of them or does my mom's application cover everyone? I already included in my mom's application that she will be accompanied by my brother and niece.
Thanks for your help.

Oh no, I meant I got a response from the MP. I asked them to take the issue up with the minister of immigration and the Nairobi office. I complained about the long wait time for Nigerians and the lack of response to people's webform and inquiry emails. They connected me with the MP office immigration specialist who works with IRCC. I'm just encouraging others to do the same if they know people in Canada. But since you mentioned it, I will give them my brother's info and ask them to contact IRCC and Nairobi on his behalf. If it works, I will share it here. I think someone did the same and got a response. Fingers crossed.

Jesusrules24:
What response did you get? Did you get bvland passport request?

I wrote an email to my MP to complain about Nairobi Visa office and I got a response. Nairobi Visa office should be able to do better. If you know anyone in Canada, You can ask them to write their MP too.
Good luck everyone

Once he's in Canada, he can apply for a study permit. He should focus on getting into Canada first and spousal sponsorship is very easier than study permit.

Nadheer15:
Would he be able to use that to study? He wants to be with her and at the same time study

Yes, it's in his best interest to mention it. But why would he want to apply for a study permit when he can apply for a spousal visa.

Nadheer15:
Hi guys,

I have a question, a friend of mine just got married to his fiancee. He did his masters in the UK whilst she did bachelors in Canada, she was in Canada before they met tho. He however wants to move to Canada for PhD and also be with his wife, would him indicating his wife is working in Canada influence a visa decision?

Congrats! I might have to ask my brother to do the same. You guys have similar timelines. Which Visa office did you get your PPR from?

Siobhanle:
Just got my PPR after waiting since first week of February!!!
I applied on the 6th of February, got medical request on the 3rd of March. Passed medicals on the 12th and I didn’t hear anything from Ircc till July when I got my bvl from Nairobi. I didn’t get AIP so I had to defer till winter 2021 semester.
I sent them so many strong worded web forms (to every visa office; Kenya, Ghana, London and even China���) this past two weeks (at some point I even felt like I was being rude but I did not care after waiting for almost nine months).
I even made my friend to email her MP in Canada and I sent emails (the same strong worded email) to the minister of immigration and and the PM ����. Anyways this morning I got an email from cic and lo and behold, my ppr.
This platform and the people behind it were really helpful so I wanted to say thank you! And to those waiting, it’s probably coming sooner than you expect!
Special mention to justexcellent and frank for being there to listen to me rant and help me out.

Also for those who have submitted their passports what’s the process? Thanks!

got it!

nayo10:
Do you mean you want to collect your application from the agent?

Looking for the link to check application status if someone applied through an agent? Please share if you have it.

First, stop seeking personal opinions. I don't think anyone can help you here. Seek a legal and professional advise.

EngrCGD:
Thank Chocs for your input and reply.

Honestly i'm having a lot sleepless nights on this issue, seriously i'm regretting all this anomaly.

Please i have two additional questions as regards to this issue.

1.) First i don't know if misrepresentation is considered a serious criminal related issue/offense such as drugs, money laundering, terrorism etc, though i know it is a crime and it is subject to being inadmissible in US immigration law however do i go ahead to tell the the truth to the Canadian VO that i purposely and ignorantly agreed with an agent to increase my year of birth and filled up other misrepresentation data when i applied for the US visa and was denied 3 times and i that also went ahead to apply for UK visa which i was denied on the ground of insufficient fund only?

2.) Even before the thought of applying for Masters to Canada , i already decided that i will apply for US visiting visa , not for the purpose of travelling actually but to RIGHT ALL WRONGS, i will going there during the interview, i will openly inform the consular , i have no intention to travel, i only want to make a confession, i will tell him/her that i only came here to free myself of the constant guilt feelings, that i'm truly sorry for what happened few years ago and that i wish i was never there and it never happened, that i acted on impulse, despite the fact that everything that was misrepresentation have come to pass , such as
- My age was increased up to 7 years, 2013 till now is 7 years already, i could have waited...
- The agent stated in the application form that i was married, then i wasn't, but now happily married.
- The agent stated i was a university graduate, but then i was only an OND graduate, but right now i have a B.ENG also and have served.
- That i was gainfully employed , all not true , right now not just self-employed but an employer of labor
oh how i wish this never happened.

So my friends and the gurus in the house, should i go ahead and book an appointment at US embassy to report myself and correct my bio data and update my true profile with them , i'm willing to accept whatever is the consequences of my action and to plead for forgiveness rather than waiting for them to find out ? or should i avoid US embassy for the remaining years since i heard biometric data takes about 10-15 years to expire and get wiped on their system, please how true is this , i need help ?

3.) Finally how do i go ahead to explain all these on a note to the Canada VO or should i just tell them only about the discrepancy on my passport year of birth that it's a mistake that was done at immigration and that i was asked to use the passport until when it expires so thecorrect changes can be made, and that now i have gotten a new passport with the correct data, if i just state it this way, what about the wrong profile with the US and UK, will they be able to get that information from these embassies. I'm confused

I'm really confused and lost right now, please help a brother, or should i suspend applying for this study visa until after 10-15 is completed from 2013/2014 so this biometrics at both embassies must have expired

But i really need to apply for my masters, this is the best time to do this as i wouldn't want to have a case of a STUDY GAP in future, and i'm very sure to get the visa considering my TIES, status and educational history ( OND mechanical, B.Eng mechanical, and intended Masters also mechanical ) but this issue at hand is discouraging me, or should i go ahead apply for the study visa (masters) for my wife instead though she prefers to manage our businesses here , she studies Biochemistry (2.1 ) and won't this still come back to hurt me even if i try to avoid it , please guys help me with the best advise right now.

Waiting for your inputs.

Please my friends help a brother.

It's very likely your application has been approved. Get a GCMS note. I also think you should send an inquiry to Nairobi. I have an applicant in the same situation. He submitted around the same time as you. GCMS says application approved but he's still waiting for PPR. He has emailed Nairobi and he's waiting for response. Let me know if you send an inquiry to Nairobi.

Good luck

Mmesomamichael:




Please I submitted my student visa since February 22nd 2020, had my biometrics and medical test done which I passed but still haven't gotten an update about my application uptill now, I have made use of the Nairobi web form but still no updates. What do you advise I do?

It is unclear whether you have been rejected or if they want a new statement of account. However, take advantage of the situation. If you application is still opened, I think you should send an updated statement of account. It seems they are not sure you have enough money. So, if you have not paid tuition and you have the cash. I think you should pay ASAP. Then, send the receipt and new statement of account to IRCC.

If your application has been finalised. Then it means you have been rejected. GET a GCMS to be sure if their's nothing else. If their's nothing else then, maybe follow my suggestion above in your new application and use same documents. You can get a co sponsor too.

ejoborigoodluck:
I have been asked to submit a new updated bank statement and you can see the photo .
does that mean if I submit a new updated bank statement they well give me visa and also does that mean all my other documents are okay by them expect from the updated bank statement

GCMS note says approved since April and Visa issued in July. Has any Nigerian applicant recieved PPR recently?

If you're 27 and your mom has been living in Canada for about 10 years. How come she didn't sponsor you when you were a minor?

adeenzo:

no sir, I am 27

Focus on your job. And make sure you get your mom to sign an affidavit of sponsorship on your behalf. In addition to whatever you have in the affidavit, she should include the following.

That your purpose of applying for study Visa is solely for studying (program name) in Canada.
That on no occasion would you (your name) depend on the government of Canada and social safety net (Welfare prgrams)
That you (your name) will abide by the all the laws of Canada and all immigration laws and regulations.
You can tell her to go to a registered immigration lawer to sign it. They know what to write. It's like 30 bucks or so.
Having family in Canada is not a bad thing. I did same for my sibling and it worked. Other docs were included obviously.


Also, make sure to include your mom's citizenship certificate or passport page. You should also include your sister/brother inlaw's passport pages too, if they are sponsoring you. If they are not sponsoring you, it won't hurt to have a co sponsor if they are willing to give you their docs.
Also, talk about how the good things your family said influenced your decision to come study in Canada in your SOP.

If you have income, include your statement and talk about economic ties in your SOP. If you don't have a job, make sure you justify how your study in Canada would give you a job in Nigeria and future plans.

I'm not sure why you need a guardian cos you're an adult but anyways. You should also get your brother inlaw to sign an affidavit too since he would be your guardian. If he's not your guardian, he can still sign an affidavit to vouch for you. Kill them with affidavit to show that you will return upon completion of your studies.

I don't think you need a letter from your other sister unless she's sponsoring you. Is she an adult. If so, you can get an affidavit to speak to your character that you are law abiding, but I don't think it's necessary.


Goodluck

adeenzo:
Hello, house, kindly advise me on how I can show ties to my home country Nigeria, because all my siblings and my mom are Canadian citizens, I am not married nor do i have any kids.
Hello gurus in the house, I applied for my study permit early September with the following.
1. My LOA from NAIT to read electronics engineering
2. Reference letter from my workplace (I work as an IT systems administrator)
3. Previous travel history (I have been to Canada in 2018 and returned without over staying)
4. Full payment of my first year tuition.
5. 10k cad for my upkeep in my mother’s account in Canada as she is a citizen for over 6 years (through pr)
5. letter of guardianship from my sister’s husband who are both citizens of Canada,
6. And also a letter from my other sister who was born in Canada..
I have weak home ties in Nigeria (literally everyone in my family is a citizen apart from my dad and I) how do I prove my home ties in Nigeria ps. I am not married and have no kids.
Thanks in advance... God bless

What kind of nonsense school is that. So they won't even give your money back? IRCC can call your school to confirm your admission or request a new admission letter from you. If you can't provide one, you're toasted. I strongly recommend that you find another admission ASAP. Check another school or a related program if you have to. Technically your status has changed, and you can be denied because you stopped meeting eligibility requirements.

Did you email the dean of your program and the registrar? Did you email the program coordinator too?

PM me please, maybe we can make some calls to the school

Ifelajulo:
Happy Sunday to all the gurus in the house, please I need your advice on my application and the way forward.
I got admission for fall 2020 to one of the Colleges in Canada and I applied for visa through an agent.

I applied in June
Got AIP to proceed online study on August 5th
Got Biometrics in June 25
Got Medical Request on August 12.

All these were done and updated on my profile.

The problem now is that my course of study is Laboratory based and my school had asked me to come down to Canada for my study on first week in September but I don't have the full study permit to come. I wrote a letter to the Registrar explaining my predicament that I just got AIP and that I can't travel without full permit. All my plea for deferment of admission or request to study online until the coast is clear fell in deaf ear. Later on my admission was withdrawn by the school. They ask me to reapply again ( the program is highly competitive and the admission is only in fall every year).

Technically I don't have admission now though I paid a non refundable tuition deposit of 1,500 and due to the unclear future I didn't pay the full tuition fee.

My question are:

How should I proceed with this my condition?.

If am giving full SP what can I do with it?

Do I still need to reapply for study visa for this same course next year?

If I apply for another course in another school for summer or winter, can I use this SP?

Please am confuse, I need help.

It seems they made a clerical error. They already put a note that the eligibility note was entered by mistake, so I wouldn't worry about it, especially, if you received medical and AIP after the date they made the error. Can you share what you have on note 2 and note 1? Did they enter any other note after the one they entered in error?

fehinebony:
Hello everyone, @all the gurus on this forum, please I need some clarity on this.
I ordered my Gcms notes , I have attached the picture of the summary I got.

Medical request was sent on 21/07/20
Medical was updated to pass on 28/7/20
I received AIP 18/08/20

Please observe that the decision was written on the same day the medical request was sent, and I received
AIP almost a month after that.
Also I noticed "Entered in error"
Please what does this mean?

Thanks as I look forward to your feedbacks .

For Economic ties, I submitted documents for 6 six properties, 4 owned by my husband(sponsor) and 2 co owned by my husband and I. All property documents had valuation reports
I paid a full year tuition and attached evidence (18k CAD)
My husbands personal account had 11million naira ,
I had N2million in one account and had N4million in another account.
I have my own business which was incorporated in 2010.( submitted certificate of incorporation and tax documents).

That's fine. people's place of birth change too. Someone's place of birth change from Otuoke south to just Otuoke and nothing happened. If the VO is worried about anything, then go ask you. But they no ask anything. So you're good.

emenadike:









Pls am begging I know that am not supposed to post this on this thread but pls pardon me.


I applied for visiting visa from Nigeria in March5 2020 paper route, after a long waiting for decision, I applied for Gcms note which I received on 30 September.

eligibility : review required
criminality: pass
information sharing: in progress

VO note said name of the application changed: old value(s) John, Praise Benson.1979, male, surulere/ lagos state Nigeria. new value(s) John, Praise. 1979, male, surulere/ lagos state Nigeria.

Pls pls my people what document should I send to address the concern of the VO. pls help thanks

If you're certain you didn't use a fake SOA then you're good.

Go to your bank with your parents and the letter from CIC. Ask the bank to write a letter confirming the authenticity of the SOA. The content should confirm opening and closing balance on the date it was printed. The letter should also include the date the account was opened, account number and account name. Make sure the letter has the signature of the branch manager, contact number, email and stamp.
They did not ask for a new SOA, so you don't need to submit a new one. If they need a new SOA, they will ask.


you should also get your parents to write a letter to confirm the authenticity of the SOA. And that they provided the SOA to you to support your application for SP. Tell them to include their contact details as well.

Then you should write a letter to deny their allegation. No need to write too much. Thank the VO for his/her time and for looking at your application. Assure the VO that the SOA is authentic and refer them to the supporting docs (letter from bank and your parent). Also include in your letter that the VO should not hesitate to contact you if they require additional information.
Conclude by saying you look forward to receiving approval for your SOA and thank the VO for his/her timely consideration of your application.
Shikena.

Chocs:
Hmm. I don’t think that could be the problem.

Please wait for gurus in the house to advise you

Yes, this is nice.

Insanity:


I don't think the number of pages matters, but ensure your SOP is straight to the point. Every paragraph must have a role in the overall story you're trying to tell.

My SOP was 4 pages. I created a table of content for all the documents I submitted in each online application upload section. Each document has a reference number in the table of content, so in my SOP, I quoted the reference number of the document that I was using as evidence of that part of my story. For instance, when I wrote about my degree, after the sentence, I included the reference number of my degree certificate, just like a research paper. This way, the VO can easily refer to my table of content to see the document sequentially.

Everything I wrote in my SOP has a document I attached as evidence. If I don't have any evidence, I won't include it. I used this format that you just quoted, with the sections. Include only the sections that works for your application, sections that you have legit documents as prove.

Goodluck!

If it is a simple mistake like wrong month or date, just enter the correct one this time. They will update your info and make a note in your GCMS note.

johnsonm2g:
Good day to you all.
Please how long does information stay in CIC data base? the reason why I'm asking is because I entered my siblings date of birth wrongly when I applied for student visa in the year 2016.
I want to apply again now, do I have to bring it up in my LOE or I should forget and fill the correct ages next time?

My response is based on this link
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/prepare-arrival/study-permit-conditions.html

If their is a one year entry rule, then you should be fine. Hopefully, someone else can clarify the one year rule for you.

You don't have to talk about internet connection or complicate things. I recommend you say the truth. You deffered because CIC couldn't give processing time and because of the pandemic. You already deffered before you recieve AIP and your program start date is fall of every year. I really can't tell you what to do. But yeah, send me a PM. We'll call IRCC on Tuesday.

PPR means passport request.

Goodluck

Ujeinijobog:
Thank you so much for your response.
But please, in view of your response, I will appreciate if you can help clarify some of my queries as follows:

1. You stated that if I get my SP approved this year, I'll have to start my program by spring and the new LOA will be rendered useless.
I thought I have a period of one year to enter into Canada when my Visa is approved? Does this then mean that even if I get the SP approved this year, the one year rule doesn't stand?
And even if the one year rule stands (or doesn't stand), will it be okay to wait to get the approval before sending in my new letter of admission?


2. Please what does PPR stand for?

3. Considering the regulation that you referred to, will it be okay to state in the LOE that I deferred because of poor internet connection and the fact that my program only run during fall semesters (which is actually the case)?

Lastly, I'll appreciate the three way call you suggested. Can I message you privately please?
I will also appreciate the link you spoke about.

Thank you once again for your time.

Okay, let's analyze the rules.

1. You are allowed to defer your study not later than the subsequent semester or 6 months after the semester you were supposed to begin. If you get SP approval this year, you have to start school by the spring semester. Then your deferred admission letter is technically useless.

2. I read somewhere on CIC website (regulations) that VO's are advised to proceed with applications if the admission letter expires but not later than the subsequent semester. For instance, if you applied with the fall 2020 admission letter and did not get PPR until the end of September 2020. The VO would not ask you for a new admission letter. They will issue your SP for the winter semester. Meaning you are allowed to defer your study until July 2021, I think.
Meanwhile, if you have a reason not to start until Fall 2021, You can always write a letter of explanation to CIC after getting your SP. For instance, if your program is only offered in fall semesters, I think that is a valid reason to get an exemption.

However, if your admission letter is fall 2020 and you did not get PPR until February 2021, VO will ask you for a new admission letter. So this means your Fall 2021 admission letter is good. I will share the link to this regulation when I have time.

3. If you submit a new admission letter now, I'm not sure how that would affect your SP application because it's a year deferral. Maybe it would only affect your SP issue date; I don't know.
4. You also need to think if CIC would call your school to confirm your admission. So, if you don't tell CIC, would that backfire? I don't know.

These are my personal opinion, but I'm happy to call IRCC for you on Tuesday. We'll do a three-way call, and we can find out the best thing to do without telling IRCC your info.

Goodluck

Ujeinijobog:
Please, can someone help me with an answer? Thank you!

From what I see, they are giving you a choice to start in september or defer until January. If you wish to do online studies with AIP, follow the steps. if you don't feel conformatable starting your study with AIP, you can defer your until January. Just let your school know that you wish to defer.

BiggestAmaju:
I got this a while ago. Submitted complete online application since April 1st. Got AIP August 6th. Maybe I have to wait a while before deferring to January or may be try the online class option. Anyone else in this boat?

International Admissions

Frank, you shouldn't be making baseless speculations nor spread fears. Not every one that receives AIP would get SP. You're right about that. It's the same as been denied after medical. The question is, how often does that happen to Nigerians, and why? IRCC has made it clear that students do not have to start studying online because AIP does not guarantee SP. So, where is the trick? Let people make their choices instead of scaring them with erroneous speculations.

The Canadain immigration system is not flawless, but it is ridiculous to think IRCC would lure people into paying tuition because of the economy. If the government cares about $22 Billion, they will open the border so students can come, spend money and pay taxes in Canada.

I think the purpose of AIP is to save students from the stress of wasting another year without going to school and allowing schools to provide education to those students. It does not have anything to do with the government trying to save the economy.
You've helped many people on this thread, and it's good that you are thinking. But you're mistaken on this one, and there's no shame in that.


Good luck

Frankrobbn1:



With all due respect Sir, my suggestions are not balderdash and my write-up was never published so it will make sense to you. You're entitled to your opinion and I'm not compelling anyone to believe. I don't know you guys view of Canada and why you can't read between the lines. Do you know that Canada have lost a great deal of revenue during the unforeseen period of COVID-19 pandemic? Do you know that international students weren't able to attend the Spring (May) intake due to the impact of the novel COVID-19 and had to defer their admissions?

FYI:
"International students were named as key drivers in economic and demographic growth, which are important to Canada’s economic recovery and long-term success".

The above facts corroborate that International students are key drivers and contributes over $22 billion annually to the country's economy through the payment of their tuition fees.

The authenticity of this information can be verified via this link :

CANADA IMMIGRATION PLAN FOR FUTURE AFTER CORONAVIRUS.


I still maintain my stance on this particular topic of "AIP letter", as a smart trick employed by IRCC to lure applicants to pay tuition for her economic recovery.


As always, it will end in praise.

LOL...what are you talking about?....this is crazy!

oma22:


So why can’t IRCC do that? Because they are God abi wetin? Our slave man mentality is too much, the way we see white folks as perfect or they can do no wrong. The way some people will say “IRCC cannot do this” or “how can IRCC do that” like say they be God. If the same where to be said about Nigeria you all will believe. Frank is right! They dangle this AIP in our faces so people can go ahead and start school and yet put the clause that “they will let you know of the final decision(approval or denial), infact some people are getting AIP in 3 days! 3 days oo!! All of a suden Canada that takes 4months to process visa on a normal day dey give approval under 3 days this period they are understaffed. I hate to be the bearer of bad news here but e go shock a lot of people. Wait till you get your full approval! Defer your studies, don’t take the bait! Frank is right! This is a bait! Canada makes a lot of money from international students and they are not above baiting people to pay fees to improve economy. The way u people think this people can do no wrong is funny. You better believe it, this is a bait! We all dey here, let’s watch and see.

The bolded don't make sense. Of course, you don't know what you're saying. Yes, you're right AIP does not guarantee SP. IRCC made that clear.
But that IRCC is tricking students to pay tuition and save the economy? who told you that nonsense.

Frankrobbn1:



I don't give mere speculations here. I think its high time you all should understand my stance on any topic been raised here. If I am not too sure of a particular topic, I don't go into detail debating about it. I remember vividly and very clearly that I said it on this platform that the receipt of an AIP letter is NOT a guarantee that an applicant will be approved of the second stage. Many counterattacked my post and were obivoulsy thinking that I'm depriving people on this window from showing great happiness. However this is not the case, as I was merely advising applicants here from the wisdom of my knowledge and the number of applications and cases I see on a regular basis and the tricks that are likely to be employed by IRCC this fall 2020. I reiterate that IRCC are using this AIP as a means to lure applicants into paying their tuition fees for the survival of her economy. Do not begin classes until you have received the final verdict from IRCC. Please be properly guided if you've not been told before, a Visa officer can decide to start your ELIGIBILITY review afresh after receiving a complete application (biometrics enrollment details and medicals), this I have seen on numerous GCMS notes especially when a new VO picks up the file for a final review.


I'll be here to watch how things unfolds in no distant time.


As always, it will end in praise.

Absolutly no! Don't send a new bank statement. If the VO needs any additional document, they will ask for it. Don't complicate things for yourself.

Hello @frankrobbn.

I did upfront medicals and submitted my appliction since July 14. Up till now my medicals has still not reflected despite several emails and web forms attaching the e medical slip.You said not to send any more of these so I am anxiously waiting for my CIC log in page to be updated. I already have AIP since August 5. Do I need to order GCMS notes for this as previously suggested by another moniker?

While researching, i read that during stage 2 of the approval process (having now done biometrics), they will check if there has been a change in your eligibilty from when your AIP was initially issued. So with the Naira appreciating against the dollar, hubby decided to liquidate all his investments and monies in Naira accounts, purchased dollars and kept in his dorm account. Now wondering if there will be a problem if they look into my proof of funds again in Stage 2 only to realise that there are no monies in the statements i submitted with my application (although research and enquiries again shows that they cant check past the last date of the statement submitted with your application hence they can never know your account balance as at today). My qstn is if I should be proactive in sending them a new bank statement of the dorm account reflecting the dollars purchased and deposited or I should wait until they ask for an updated statement? I read in previous page that a lot of times the Nigerian embassy here stil looks into proof of funds after the study permit has been issued and before PPR hence my qstn

Finally, can you kindly direct me to the link for how to secure admission for phd? this is not for me but for a friend

Many thanks

Can you also kindly advise

Don't do anything. Just wait and enjoy your time in sunny Nigeria before you come and face the cold in obodo Canada.

This is a tricky question. Most of my friends in the oil and gas industry moved to Alberta after school. However, some people got a job in Newfoundland as well. I know that the Newfoundland economy is currently not doing well, so that would also have a negative effect on the job market. In my opinion, there are way more jobs in Alberta but that does not mean you cannot get a job in Newfoundland.
I hope this answers your question.

NwanyiOkpa:



hello, please could you share more light about jobs in NL? preferably for an oil and gas engineer.

thanks

Technically no, he is allowed to defer his May admission until the following semester. He is also allowed to change schools, but he must inform IRCC that he has switched school. I recommend that he notify IRCC ASAP because his May school will inform IRCC that he did not show up to school.
As for working for 5 months. I don't know about that. I'm not sure if his off-campus working permit allows him to work before school begins. Whatever the case, tell him not to say tell any soul that he has been working.

Good day house,

Please what is the fate of this brother?
He got admissions letter from 2 schools, one is may start term and the other is September start term. He decided to process student permit with the may admission which is 1yr program. On getting to Canada, for some reasons he chose to wait for 5 months working(hustle jobs less than 20hrs/week) so that he can resume with the September admission that's is 2 yrs program.
Will this action affect his pgwp/pr in the future?
