Sure. How do I connect you?

Victoryokondu:
Hello please can I connect with your wife? I'm also waiting for PAL from saskpoly. I have paid the full tuition of 19462 for Regina campus and I have also submitted the form as they requested for PAL but no show yet. I would love to connect with your wife and even be added to a saskpoly group if any.

I guess so too. My wife has her LOA from sask poly with 10k cad deposit paid out of 19,400. Her school is yet to send her PAL eventhough she registered for it almost a week ago now. Hopefully it would be ready by first week of April. Shalom!!!

kenoja:
looks like the Saskatchewan province schools didnt send out letters generally on PAL issuance process like others did. When we were following up with Regina for PAL, someone informed me that he had gotten his PAL after paying CAD5k. Just doesn't seem to be coordinated

Saskatchewan PAL isn't ready yet. Hopefully by first week of April my school said.

JMG12:
Contact your school for update some provinces has already started giving PAL except ontario!

Thanks for your reply. My daughter is a Nigerian - Peruvian.
I think the mail was sent from the Canada office.. I sent a web form yesterday. Hopefully it gets Processed quickly. Shalom!!!

MayorOfEdmonton:
Is your daughter a US Citizen? If yes she doesn’t need TRV to visit Canada.

If No, which visa office sent your wife PPr? raise a webform to that visa office and ask for update on your daughter’s application and how you’d appreciate that they help process it too.

I applied for a TRV application for my baby girl and wife from Peru on the 5th of March. Wife's biometric was uploaded on the 8th of March while baby did no biometric cos she is less than 4 years old.They also have a valid USA visa in their passports. On the 20th of March, PPR for wife was requested while baby's processing is still ongoing till now. It's 5 days now. How can I write IRCC to ascertain why the delay? Any advice? Thanks

Your agent MIGHT be correct.
Me think it depends on the course you want to study and the choice of school.
It's best you are flexible with your choices as regards location, school and courses available. This way you could see nearer start dates. Shalom!!!

Ayosharon4321:
Hello house,

Please is there any college/university opened for September 2024? The nonsense agent I’m working with said it’s till September 2025/Jan2026. Please how true? Hired her because I work and now this mess up.
Please treat urgent

Typical Naija Mentality!!!
Money is not a problem!!!
Nobody cares!
The waiting time indicated by IRCC isn't only for the poor people. It's a general thing. This and many reasons alike are reasons Naija no fit better cos we think we are above the law because of small or large monies at our disposal. Reason our country is highly corrupt. Shalom!!!

anid54:
Good evening from here all,

Money is not a challenge is there a way I can get this visitor visa on time at all cost? If no when can I be expecting a decision ?



Review of medical results
March 4, 2024 You passed the medical exam.


Biometrics
February 18, 2024 Completed. Looks like they used my old biometric that I did in 2015.


Biometrics Collection Letter February 19, 2024 February 20, 2024
Client Application Summary February 17, 2024 February 18, 2024
Submission Confirmation February 16, 2024 February 16, 2024

I think it's best you write them again and expect a positive reply on what next. If you are not selected for admission, you might try some other school. Shalom!!!

kamaladejoke:
I don’t know the reason why conestoga haven’t started dishing out admission I have been waiting since for admission pls who is in the same shoe with me

Have you heard of the word FLAGPOLE? It could be done at the nearest Canadian border.
Read about it carefully and explore the option, only if, your spouse is a student. Then you and the kids can FLAGPOLE, thereby changing your visit visa to sowp.
Shalom!

oklarlexzy:
I applied Jan 16 for Sowp. I got refused today based on POF. What are the next steps to take. Previous POF was 10m naira. I still have a running visitors visa for myself and my son and 10m naira POF. What are the next steps to take. Thanks for your support always

@Bobomaigida I greet you. What if by any chance visa is denied, how can one request the money deposited in a GIC? Thanks.

Bobomaigida:
The main issue will be proving the funds are readily available for your usage, consider doing GIC to take care of your living expenses. Then draft a good SOP to explain the sources of funds and your free access to them.

@harmonyedu thanks for the info. Had to go check for my wife's own from SASKPOLY but no mail arrived. Would send the school a message. Hopefully they make their PAL ready this month to continue with our study application. Shalom!!!

harmonyedu:
I just got a mail today to apply for my PAL from Lakeland College, Alberta Province.

@Flakeyy please could you enlighten further. Now in an instance whereby one already deposited money in a GIC and eventually the study permit application gets denied, how can one get a refund of the money in GIC?
In my case I am acting as a sponsor for my wife for a 1 yr Program in Saskatchewan Polytechnic. School deposit of 10k cad have been deposited and LOA issued. Are you are advising me to deposit her remaining 10k cad balance deposit in a GIC because her total school fees is 20k cad for her 1 yr programme?? Aside her 20k living expenses + flight expenses as instructed by IRCC. Please enlighten me and others in my similar situation to learn. Thanks. God bless you.

Flakeyy:
If your sponsor is willing to gift you the living expenses for one year, I’ll advice you put it in a GIC account. There’s a 95% chance you’ll be approved if you put the POF in a GIC account. It shows that your sponsor has totally gifted you that amount.

That’s what I did for my brother. I paid his 1 year school fees and gave him the 1 yr living expenses which he put in a fix account, and they just sent him a message to go for his medicals.

Try it and it would probably work.

Na scam. Run O. Unless you can check and confirm yourself with the log in. Else run oooo

Autoworld1:
Please can any one help out, I got my visitor visa yesterday though and agent, the issue date is July 2024, he said we were attach to a program which is in July, have happen to any one before

What about this your project sir?
What's the latest update. We are following your development sir. Thanks

gotaheart:
Dear Nairalanders,

I work in the financial sector here in Nigeria. After so many thought of alternative source if income, I have decided to go into integrated farming. I am starting with the unconventional "as far as Nigeria is concerned" Aquaponics.

The farm is presently under construction and I will be showing pictures and update as the construction progresses.

Kindly note that this is a DIY project. I am going through the construction along with inexperienced local artisans. I welcome valuable contributions from experts in the house.

My plan is to have 6 15ftX15ft Tarpolin pond along with grow beds for tomatoes. It's meant to be a recirculating/symbiotic system where the waste from the fish feed the plant while the plants along with the media beds filter the water to be reused in the fish pond.

Kindly stay tune. I will be sharing pictures and videos taken from the site this last weekend.

Flywire is indicated in the school payment portal and IRCC. Form A too can be another method of payment but I used Flywire when I made my wifes' school deposit payment. Shalom!!!
(quote author=bdrefessy post=128574174]Please guru in the house , which platform is the best to pay a school in Canada ….. Form A or fly wire ? thanks in advance[/quote]

It wouldn't be a problem. I also passed through same because I had a valid USA visa. The only spaces asked you was same with mine. Be calm, all things been equal, your tourist visa would be issued in less than 2 weeks. My passport was requested after 9 days of my biometric. Congrats in advance. Shalom!

Nielda234:
Good day everyone. Please I need assistance. I’m applying for a Canada tourist visa. I used the new website and filled the form. I have a valid UK and U.S and I’ve been to over 15 countries. As documents, I was provided space to upload only my US visa, passport page and employment letter and just 1 additional document. I did this. I have other supporting documents. How do I show this? It say based on my application these are the documents I’m meant to provide and they will ask for additional ones if need be. Now I’ve scheduled Biometrics. Will this be a problem?

Since th first game, I wow to see a 5 man defence Super Eagles playing against mediocre teams. I just shook my head. This dumbhead coach have no creative player in his team. None. Yet he expect to get link up plays to attackers. Na Osimhen I really pity pass. This dumbhead coach parking the bus tactics made him so useless upfront. I have never any coach in world football start a game from group stage to finals with a 5 man defence. What's your mission? To defend or attack? Against who abeg? So if he plays an Argentina or France team, he would adopt 7 man defence. Block head coach with shit tactics. If we continue with this coach, I can guarantee that we are not even qualifying to the World Cup. Damn!!! Never watched a shit final this boring with total 1 sided possession in 90 mins. With our individual calibre of offensive players upfront and on the wings, the ivorians suppose chop red cards and plenty fouls SEF.

Seagodess:
Unfortunately... All of you don't know the problem with this team..why did the coach decide to play a 5 Man defence.. we don't have a Good creative midfielder like the likes of Jay Jay and co . You can't tell me a country of about 200millon people can't produce a creative no 10.. iwobi can't defend.. onyeka was doing over work.. going forward..we need a Better no 10.. we have the attack and the defence at least

Agents are thieves.
Always telling lies from the pit of hell to get paid by hook or crook.

munchies:
Thank you for your swift response.

Because a friend is saying her agent is asking the husband needs to pay a certain fee to be able to get him a letter that will get him a work permit as a dependant to the wife who is going for masters degree soon.

Yes you can pay in Naira online or go their counter inside the airport or google their office addresses, walk in and make your payments. Cheers.

XYZJAZZY:
Good morning to all my Nairalanders, trust we all had a wonderful night rest.

I have been trying to search for cheap ticket to Canada for some days now and I eventually got one through KLM and Lufthansa. My question here is can I pay with my local debit card as the amount is quoted in dollars.

Please I need your help to enable me conclude the deal, then rest my mind and face other things.

I will be waiting for response from everyone that have had the experience.

From my understanding, after submitting a visa refusal for whatever reason, every refund would be sent back to the medium the payment was made minus administrative fees.

Zammy123:
Who know about conestoga refund thing?
Do they send it back to the bank you paid with if you used someone’s bank in Canada to pay?
Please anyone with the right info

Felicidades!!
Go and conquer!!!

AtoningBlood:
Good new guyssssssssss, it's PPR for me - Student visa, for my husband (SOWP). We applied alone, no agency. We applied for the family the same day. We got approved in under one month. We are waiting for the children's PPR.

Patience!!!!

Emma549:
Hello Guys,
Please when eligibility is stating completed on tracker for about 7 days now and PPR has not drop, does it mean Approval or otherwise?

How long does it take for PPR to drop after eligibility is stated completed on tracker.

Yes you need the biometrics collection letter. Infact take anything you feel might or might not be needed. Goodluck.

nodetest:
Hello all. Thanks I finally got the biometrics letter 2 days ago.

Apart from international passport and the appointment details, do I need to present any other documentation during biometrics collection.

Do I also need to print the biometrics collection letter and take along for the biometrics collection?

Thanks

Please out of curiosity, how does one apply for resident visa? Does having a tourist visa give you an edge or what? I also have a tourist visa. That's why I am asking. Please help with an answer thanks

Eriokanmi:
Since you've been issued a TRV already, why not just go and come back and then, apply for a resident visa? Even your job permit/express entry application (hoping you've secured a job already cos job is hard now, somehow) would be given a boost cos you've visited and come back. The process would be expedited.
Everyone should take note of this, especially the young ones who wish to emigrate. Traveling is an investment so, Invest wisely for a quick and favorable ROI. If you go now with your TRV, it's risky if you don't come back. This is a hard fact. Even those who emigrated legitimately are facing job challenges right now though they have hope which a TRV holder doesn't have. You don't want to enter canada and be counting beautiful skyscrapers and bridges naw. Rather, you want to work and enjoy a good life. They can't be compared with those who carry TRVs.

How many people would the asylum favour? Does it even still work? I visited a friend in Chicago in 2018. Inside the building were 5 Nigerians who were in their late 40s and early 50s. They told me though they were in America, their final destination was Canada. Before I left the US, my friend said they had all left for Canada via the USA border. On getting there, one was lucky while the rem 4 were held by CABSA. They all had families back home. You don't want to go through all the risks naw.

Come back, prepare well for emigration through a legit means. Even if you apply as a student, your visa approval won't be an issue cos of the experience but you also need to meet the requirements which i believe you easily can, doing it on your own. Amazingly, you would still meet those who have chosen to stay back with their TRV, still running up and down for a solution by the time you go back. When I went to school in America, some of my friends who travelled same time as me on a B1/B2 visa who chose to stay back are still in America today, still no papers, nothing. Parents are old. Some aren't even alive anymore. They only cried and cried and accepted their fate cos they couldn't come home. What a life!

I know my advice still would pass through some desperate guys' deaf ears but trust me, if you can apply via a legit means, your journey would be faster and smoother into life's comfort. Don't bother taking time it would cost you into consideration. Those who got admitted into unis after covid will be graduating this year. So, its not as far as you may have thought. Good luck!

You might be correct.
I was supposed to submit Study Permit application yesterday for my wife who got an admission to study a 1 yr Diploma as. a Disability Support Worker, Saskatchewan Polytechnic for August 2024.
With this new policy on getting a mandatory attestation letter from the province attached else the application would be returned, how long do one wait for this? Cos I already googled and made other enquiries and it seem not to be available yet. Anybody with useful information would greatly be appreciated by me and others to learn from.
Thanks a lot

Predator188:
The attestation letter is another way to cap study permit applications...Canada government wants give allocation,annual quota to each province on the number of study permit application they will approve each year and it will not be equal allocations ...
Once each province uses all the annual allocation they will stop to issue attestation letter ..
I am sure this attestation letter may used to target specific region, university , colleges and program of study in the province.. Some control is now given to the provinces.

Yes Skyscanner is trusted. I also use Kayak sometimes too.
My advice would be for you to try to google and check price directly from the airline site. Make comparison before making final decision. Cheers!!!

XYZJAZZY:
Thanks you very much 🙏🙏.

Please is Skyscanner a reliable or trusted site to book ticket,other ticket is cheaper than wakanow, travel start and travel wings

I think you are correct. I got a visit visa recently and it didn't come with LOI.

lyndaoyewole:
i dont think visiting visas get LOI. i might be wrong. People with experience please respond

Pardon my curiosity. Please what does VR mean? Thanks.

chrisifeanyi:
You don't need return ticket. You just need VR at POE for the minor to start school. Except you actually want the child to come back.
Minors are given vv

Personally I would not declare the 2 M.Sc degrees to pursue a P.G certificate.
After all requirements for most P.G certs are O' level. It's a personal opinion.. Please wait to here opinions from other experienced people in the house too.

Bmuhd4smile:
Hello guys ... what's the visa chance for someone that wants to declare two masters to apply for a post graduate certificate of 1 year in canada.

Is this for Canada tourist visa application?
If yes? Then try to change the dates of your work experiences. Make it be a complete calendar year. E.g instead of saying you worked in a certain job from March to October, make it be a full calendar year, Jan to December. Just patiently look at it and play around with the dates, hopefully you would save and go pass that stage.

ekeson45:
Please house, I need help on navigating through this.
I have filled all my work/activities for the ten years, still I can't save and continue

22nd of December
Please note I submitted my application from Peru. I have a valid USA visa .

Opeyemi007:
When did you submit your applicatio?

I think it varies kinda.
In my case my decision for approval was made days 4 days before now and passport requested. Just today I received a message from IRCC that my eligibility has been completed. Eventhough I just submitted my passport yesterday and waiting for pickup. Just be patient.

Opeyemi007:
Please, who has an idea how long it takes for a decision to be made on a visit application after eligibility is completed? I had my biometrics last week Tuesday(2) and it show eligibility completed on the tracker yesterday. I qualify for the Can+ category cos of my Us visa. Just wondering if anyone has an idea. Thanks
