Congrats @Dunna pls can you send your statement of purpose to elizabethwosu91@gmail.com thanks

Okay. Will do just that

Nogen:
@Dunna, congratulations. I would like to find out a few things from.you.
I also plan to go with my children because they are too young to be left behind for 4 years. I have made plans to put them in a daycare and I have gotten 2 willing to give us admission .

My husband is now going with us to help with the children while I study. He will be working part time from Canada and forward online to his office in Lagos .

Now, in my Certificate of Acceptance application form, I filled them as students too because that's what I'm coming in as . Also, visitors permit is usually a short one, visitors are not expected to stay more than 6 months. Why did you use visitors permit for your children ? I'm yet to apply for my study permit. That can guide me in my CIC application. Do I also tick work permit for my husband? How did you go about it?

Thanks.

@ Nogen, as long as the visitors permit is applied as a dependant to the primary applicant, it has same validity as the primary applicant, in this case the study permit. They can actually study with the visitors permit accompanying you as the primary applicant. Ticking the kids as study requires you getting an acceptable DLI. More experienced members can please comment. Thanks

…long post alert.

You do this from your scan/document settings. By reducing the image quality and dpi. Reduce this before scanning the documents.
