Hmm 👀

Wait, no shade though Let me understand you used a Nigerian passport and applied for a study permit alongside a spouse’s open work permit on April 5, 2026… and got approved by April 9, 2026? so thats 4 days

Well well… things dey happen 😄 the same IRCC we know

POF OF HOW MUCH?

Rahab409:
I applied for my study permit alongside my spouse’s open work permit on 5th April 2026. Since Monday, 6th April was a public holiday, I scheduled my biometrics for Tuesday, 7th April, while my spouse completed hers on 9th April 2026.

Surprisingly, we both received approval for our visa applications on that same 9th April 2026 at about 3:55 P, while my spouse’s biometrics appointment was scheduled for 1:00 PM that very day in Lagos.

For context, I had previously handled my UK student visa application for my master’s degree myself, and it was also approved.

So why am I sharing this?

If you need guidance or have questions that haven’t been answered, feel free to drop them here. Others may also benefit, and I’ll do my best to guide you based on my experience.

Getting approval within three working days after submission was honestly unbelievable—I didn’t see it coming.

Disclaimer: I am not an immigration officer. I can only offer guidance based on my personal experience applying for my study permit and my spouse’s open work permit.

What is the update?

No...... I don't know the craziness behind GIC account opening it does not guaranteed anything.....

NOT MANDATORY

yemzyray01:
Good morning everyone... please is it mandatory to fund a GIC account for study visa purpose?
Thanks

Short answer is YES...

so far it make sense to them, no issue... but if it doesn't; that's where the issue starts from. My visit visa, I applied for a family of 3 with a lump sum, and I didn't hear from IRCC for like 4 months. After I did a web form to include my payslip, which I believe proves I could have had such reserves. I got the visa after a few days of uploading my payslip via webform.

So a lump sum is not an issue if there is good and meaningful justification, e.g., employment payslip, source of invested money, etc.

Jidesam01:
Hi everyone, I just got admitted to a university in Ontario. I have my school fees of 24k
Plus, but that’s all I have. Now I want to run POF for my living expenses which is 23k cad. They are ready to give me certificate of investment that matured over 180 days and was deposited into my bank account as a lump sum . My issue is will I have to prove to ircc where I got the money I invested?


I’ll delete this soon.

Omw, easy na

LMIA has casted and in her case will not work that smooth
So in summary, it’s still what I said: if she cannot secure admission and a new study permit before her current school ends, she should book the next flight to Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) AKA MMA 1

I get you but only 22895 is locked na, he will still have access to the remaining 17,105 from the 40k...

Although there is a clause to the access, he needs to visit a branch in Canada and have a student permit to get his money else they will return the money the way it come in.

I also added more than 22,895 to the GIC account for personal reasons.

I was in Canada recently and book a session at the bank lucky for me the scheduled me with a Nigerian who schooled in the same city am going to and she was very helpful on hints of the city. Although, she advice to do GIC for the GIC amount only which is 22,875 + wire fee of the bank you wanna use(my bank wire fee was 17.5)...

AbelAbdul:
He said he puts 40k CAD in the GIC acct. If na true say he put 40k CAD in GIC and his tuition is in that 40k CAD, oyo na him be him case

He won't. The GIC account will only hold 22,895 CAD. The remaining money will be in your normal account, which is accessible to you when you get to CA and have a student permit.

God forbid admission doesn't come through, the bank will return the money the same way it came plus interest.

AbelAbdul:
I hope you didn't put the remaining part of your tuition fee in the GIC else you will regret it.

Bobomaigida:
It is preferable to send MBS to IRCC, but they also accept the soft copies generated from the app, just ensure it carries the stamp or any other confirmatory mark.

I currently have a Canadian visitor visa valid until 2034. My wife’s visa will expire this year, one of my sons has a visa that expires in 2029, and my other child does not have a Canadian visa yet.

At the moment, I have about CAD 70,000 available. I also have about CAD 30,000 equivalent in a retirement account in Nigeria. My current monthly income is about €3,000, and I recently secured a new contract that should increase my income by about €1,000 per month after tax.

Coincidentally, I received an admission for a Master’s program this week, and I am currently in Canada (only me) on a visit, but I will be leaving in three weeks. Based on the advice I have been receiving, I am considering placing CAD 30,000 into a GIC from the CAD 70,000 I currently have. This should be easy for me to do since I already have funds in Canada.

I have also paid the school deposit today. Whenever I visit Canada, I usually leave the same day I declare at the port of entry (POE).

Do you have any advice on whether this approach makes sense (I and family reside in Nigeria at the moment) or if there are other things I should consider?

What is the earliest date for Abuja and Lagos appointments at the moment?

Happy my mum got hers recently...

Where in Ottawa?

Still working on my student permit though. But I was in Ottawa ending of last year.

You can always ask

Jazzman01:
She is a typical circumcised Nigerian lady. Circumcision kills their urge/enjoyment of sex. You are not the only one, other married Nigerian men are also going through a similar thing and that is why most Nigerian men have side chicks and some engage in polygamy.

Sending her packing and getting another woman may not solve the problem because a high percentage of our women in Nigeria/Africa have been circumcised. It was just recently that the Federal government put a ban on the barbaric practice. So if you are marrying any lady born from 2005 backwards, their is a high chance that she has been circumcised.

Although you wife's case is on the extreme side, maybe she was given type IV circumcision or she is probably not sexually attracted to you. But the truth is that if you still go ahead and marry another Nigerian woman, you will still not enjoy sex to the fullest with her. That's the predicament we are facing with our women here in Africa all due to Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) Also called female circumcision.

Do you have any child with her?

udede:
Hmmmmmm
I endured this kind of rubbish from my wife for 10 years , i actually was thinking that she will change , they nodey change anything ooo. My wife even refused to see a medical doctor.

My problem now is that she refused to leave me and the marriage alone, i have even begged her to go and she refused. To worsen the matter every lady i approach for marriage dosent want to be a second wife. I stopped sleeping with her since 1 year ago . Her job is far more interesting to her

I really can feel your pain

If he had a child I might have encouraged this but that is not the case...

He needs to move on...

KristaPretty:
Red flags were obviously ignored. NO ONE ever changes after getting married

Anyways this is not an issue. Get a side chick who enjoys and would give you sex 247 without commitment and would respect boundaries

There are a lot of Hot and decent people out there who just wanna fvvvk and bleep as well as enjoy your company for the moment, before you get back to your fellow man wife at home

You would end up being happy. Secondly, when you need a child you speak to her family and let them know what is going on, if no changes, biko get someone responsible pregnant. Las Las everybody body go calm down

....but most important, please get a side chick to cure your konji, that's why so many men are happy in their marriages today

If there's anything you should use to punish your partner, sex should never be one of them. She even sounds bossy and rude

Oya find the lady biko

Thank me now

Not fiction, I have similar story

Ishilove:
What the fvck did i just read?

This is definitely fiction. Smh

No need of second wife.... Divorce her and move on

Dmacqh:
I think you are a good writer . I enjoyed your use of hyperbole.

You dated her. The attitude didn’t start after marriage but before it. So what’s the essence of courtship and dating or you think marriage will change her?

I don’t support divorce. I don’t support forced sex in marriage. She isn’t a sex slave. I don’t support cheating. If it’s bad , get second wife. She will either go , or sit up.

It’s possible 2 secs sex result to pregnancy.
No be man wey fvck toto tear dey give woman belle.

We plenty for this table oooh....

H0didon:
Damn!!! You're suffering in this marriage.
But why did you ignore the red flags nau??

Na why i no like anything marriage cos it only favours women. I'm very sure more than 70% of Nigerian married men are suffering inside like you...

Or Perhaps you married the wrong person .

Guy make yourself a priority...Forget that so called marriage cos na strong headed feminist you marry





As our Ancestors would say "He that decides to ignore a little mistake, should be prepared to face a bigger one".

I hope you guys haven't dropped anything yet. If yes, please run for your life.

This is not a case of broken home... I'm in a similar case as you the only difference is that I have a child already... The issue won't stop even if she gives birth, it is a sign to a bigger phycological issue...

She has low or no sex drive... Let her go and find her type. This may be caused by many things including trauma or female mutilation etc. which you are not the root cause of it...

Wish her well and move on.

LoveUdie:
We've been married for two years and have no child. I’m not surprised that we haven’t been able to have a child but what I’m surprised about is my wife’s attitude towards the fact that we don’t have a child.
Yesterday she called me impotent. Some days ago she called me sterile. I warned her, “The next time you call me any other name apart from my name, I will walk out of this mess you call marriage.”

Let me take you back to when we were dating. This girl was very strict when it came to sex. She was the one making the rules. “This month no sex, I don’t want you to be enjoying it every day. We are not married yet.” I won’t fight her about it and she would go ahead and do exactly what she said she would do. Another time she will tell me, “I called you and you didn’t answer. No sex for three weeks.
I didn’t allow those things to bother me. She was a good person. I would have been very wrong to just look at her from that angle and conclude that she wasn’t a wife material. We stayed together for two years before we finally decided to marry.

After marriage, she didn’t stop throwing those rules around. Every new day came with different rules and all of her rules had to do with sex. As I’m writing this, we haven’t had sex for the past three months. What is her reason? She had severe cramps during her menses and according to her, she has never had crumps all her life. She told me, “I spoke to a doctor friend of mine and she said my cramps were due to sex and that if your husband’s joystick is big, it can result in cramps.” I knew she was lying.
I knew she was just looking for another excuse not to have sex. I’m used to that antics so it didn’t bother me.
We are married but we have sex only when she wants and since she doesn’t want sex often, we can go for several weeks without sex. And the annoying part is, she doesn’t want any other style apart from missionary. So, when her goodness comes and she finally opens the way for me to do it, she will tell me, “Just get on with it and leave me alone.

If I kiss her, bue! If I don’t kiss her, bue! “Don’t touch me here. Why are you going side by side, can’t you go straight? Hey…hey…hey, don’t touch my breast, it’s paining me. You’re keeping long, what medicine did you drink?”
She’ll nag throughout the action. Sometimes I don’t even cum. I’ll just get off her and have my peace of mind. It’s been like this for the past two years since we got married. I’m not complaining. Recently, she brought up the topic of childbirth and I told her, “Do you know how many times people have sex before a child can result?

You are here giving me rules and yet want to have a child?” She said, “Alice got married four months ago and she’s pregnant. How many times did they do it? We’ve been doing it for two years and nothing has happened. Go and look for medicine before I give up on you.”
Every marriage has some troubles. She’s my trouble, I understand. What I don’t understand is her attitude towards the problems she herself has caused. I was there one day when she told me, “I spoke to my doctor friend. She said we’ve been having sex unnecessarily that’s why the pregnancy is not coming so we should have sex only when I’m ovulating. From now onwards, you won’t waste your sperms on me. Store them. Grow them. Make them potent so that when you hit one, a child will come. You hear?”

Brothers and sisters, how many times do women ovulate in a month? At least once, right? So why haven’t we had sex for three months? I want an answer so I went to her, “You mean you haven’t ovulated for the past three months?” She said, “I’m tracking it with an app. So far, the app hasn’t said that I’m ovulating.” Eiii! So now it’s an app that’s going to determine when to have sex and when not to?
Dear people of God, that’s my wife for you. No husband will sit and stare while things go wrong in his marriage so I reported the issue to her parents. They called her home and talked to her extensively. Her father called to tell me, “We’ve spoken sense to her. The way I’ve bashed her, I don’t think she’ll come home and do that again.” The day she got home she said, “Shame on you. You ran to my parents and reported me to them? Are you a kid? All because of sex? I thought you are a man. A true man doesn’t need plenty of sex before pregnancy. They hit one, bam! and the child is there.

You want it every day. I can’t.”
Three months. Maybe it sounds very short so let me calculate it into days. I haven’t had sex for over ninety days! I’ve received three salaries without sex, yet she accuses me of not being potent because we haven’t had a child. I’ve reported it to her parents twice and each time, they talk to her. The last time her father told me, “If I have to come and supervise it, I will come there myself. What kind of silly attitude is that?” Even her father is angry on my behalf. At this point, I will be right to take any drastic decision that I want. One day, I will pack her things and send her to her parents. Before she comes back to the marriage, she will sign a bond of good behavior and sign to have sex four times in a week before I will take her back.
A wife doesn’t live her life just to traumatize her husband’s life. Or I should send her packing right away?

My Dad went to his US visit visa interview today, it was approved. I was so anxious.

My dad is 65 years old. I am a USA citizen. My Dad's last visa application was 16 years ago in 2008 and it ended in refusal. Although he had visited the USA 18 years ago before.

VO: Pass me your passport please
Dad: Here, do you also need my previous passports?
VO: Not at the moment. Where are you going?
Dad: Pennsylvania
VO: what are you going to do in Pennsylvania
Dad: I would like to go see my grandchildren, i have not seen them since they were born
VO: Have you traveled within the last 5 years?
Dad: No
VO: What do you do?
Dad: I am a lawyer
VO: Have you been to the USA before?
Dad: Yes
Your visa is approved. We will send you an email.

NOPE

Richdiamond000:
Does Canadian visa display the photo taken on the day of biometrics, just like US visa ?

Thanks... We are first-time applicants with no travel history although my sibling has PR.

affoncad:

Congratulations! I noticed that Canada is now focusing on granting visitor visas to the families of citizens and permanent residents, while first-time applicants for tourist visas with no travel history are often denied. Even obtaining a conference visa has become difficult now.

Finally!!! my boy's got his PPR...

dsureguy:
My case is similar to yours the differences are we don't have a travel history and funding proof is more...

We applied in Feb 2024, The Passport Request was Aug 12, submitted on the 15th and collected (my wife and i) on the 19th although my little boy's app is still processing.

bank balance was $19500 in foreign currency

LOOOOOOL!!!! no fear naso me self fear... You will get your passport soon with visa on it

Richdiamond000:
I got my passport request 5 days ago and till now when I check the tracker, there is no visa number or anything like that

Today I got a mail saying my application status has changed

Am I supposed to be scared ?

-When I log into IRCC account, my application says my eligibility status was reviewed. But it still shows final decision as “approved”

The tracker account says “in progress” and has no visa number displayed

This is really confusing

MsAnonymous:
Hello fam,

Pls I want to apply for Canadian Visitors visa with my family (my self, my husband and my toddler).
I have a valid US visa, my husband does not have.
My older sister is a Canadian citizen, so we want to visit her family as reason to travel.

Pls does it make sense to apply together as family? does it show "japa" signals?
What if I apply alone and the fact that my spouse is in Nigeria is part of proof that I intend to "return"?

Also pls what is a good bank balance for a family of 3, as we would be sponsoring ourselves
is $10k bank balance sufficient?
