Educhopper:
@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.

I try to apply for GCMS again but guys let all come together and help me review before I re apply again 🥹

JMG12:
Okay, so in that case, there should be some amount gifted to him from the sponsor as a means to show your commitment, proof that the sponsor has always been supporting him, and ensure to cover up the asset part. You must convince the VO that he will return after schooling

JMG12:
Hello, I have some questions.
1. How old is your brother?
2. Is your brother working?
3. Marital status?

Zeus04:


For now, I'd say BA would be really hard to push for visa sponsorship because the talent are in abundance in Canada. When seeking to sponsor work permit for foreign nationals, the govt here really scrutinize the process and would only approve such WP when you can prove that the skillet is hard to find or cannot be found here. That's why it's relatively easier for core technical folks like developers, architect etc to get visa sponsorship.

It's a way to ensure people within Canada are employed.

Hey... Sure, I'd PM you. You can also connect with me on LinkedIn. Not sure if its a good idea to add my LinkedIn profile here

If you're a new PR, you do not need to have filed your taxes before you can apply for CCB. However, you may face a bit of a challenge.
There are 3 methods of application;
i. birth registration - only if your child was born in Canada. I registered using this method when my family had newly landed and had not filed taxes yet. Note that we stated our income from Nigeria, but this in itself is not 'tax filing'.
ii. CRA My Account - only if you've filed taxes before
iii. Mail - I believe this is the option that can work for you.

maziude:


File your taxes as soon as you land.

Your income in Canada for previous year will be 0.

Alternatively, apply for child care benefits, the form should double as filing for taxes too.

Temas:


No.

You will need to declare how much you earned in the last year in your country of residence.

Apply as soon as you land. It takes three months to process.

olasubomy:


Taxes are filed on preceding year basis. (PYB) You would need to wait till next year filing season since you were not resident in Canada last year.

Hi Flakkey,

Can you share details of the email address of the Accra VO?

Thanks.

Thatbae:


Thank you so much.

God bless you big.

Did they reply you to confirm that they have extended it ?

Thatbae:


Thank you for your response.

Was Accra your VO ?

Because mine is CIO Sydney, would I still send the mail to Accra since I'm sending my documents to Lagos VFS.

Thatbae:
Hello,

Please has anyone here requested for an extension for passport submission?

Do you attach any document to back up why you needed the extension?

For example the collection slip for passport renewal

Twocanplay23:


Thanks, we've sent out passports already, we hope it gets back in time.

Twocanplay23:


Thank you for your concern.
It's just the uncertainty of Accra and how long it will take to add the baby.

We've waited so long for this PPR, the timing is just off. I've heard of families that have been waiting for close to a year, just to add their baby.

Let us leave matter for matthias

Start contacting the midwives now. If you have someone in the area you are looking at, have them visit the clinic on your behalf to request for a slot

NaijaCanadian28:


Hmmm...these are very valid points ooo. I was about 7 months pregnant when I moved in 2015. I remember almost not finding a midwife. They all said I was too close to term and didn’t have any slots. Thank God I finally got a spot with Diversity Midwives . I was an international student when I came in 2015 and didn’t have OHIP initially. I didn’t have to pay for my labs, Ultrasound and epidural (The midwife practice I used had arrangements that made this possible). Another thing to note is that Midwives can’t handle high risk pregnancies. Common reasons why they deem a pregnancy high risk in Canada are - having a chronic condition like diabetes and hypertension and being over 35. There maybe other factors. In this case, the midwife will transfer your care to an Obstetrician. You can also decide to keep the midwife but your OB will be the main caregiver. Midwifery care is great sha, it’s very personal and they do home visits after having your baby. They may even help with things like bathing your newborn.

In addition , I’m praying your family gets PPR soon. All the best!

jbach:
Lastly, you must present a covid 19 negative test certificate which is compulsory for all travelers landing in Canada. This is the latest news by the Canadian government as at this evening.
Cheers

Pleasant19:


If you chose to go with CPA, the first thing to do is to evaluate your BSc and see if you need to take prerequisite courses. If you need to take prerequisite courses, you can look for a diploma that covers all you need and will give you a certificate also. If you go the school route you will have access to loan and grant to cover your prep courses. Once you start working your employer can pay for the PEP part of CPA.
Here is a link to post secondary institutions for Ontario.

Bashwas:



Please can I chat you up.I have questions to ask you?

NaijaCanadian28:


Hello, Congratulations on your PR visa . Ontario has waived the 3 months rule because of COVID 19. I don’t know if they will go back to norm after the pandemic. If you have questions about having a baby in Ontario, you can message me. Sorry I don’t have answers to your other questions as Accounting is not my field.

jbach:
Hi Flakeyy, i presume you are traveling with your family. Do you have an AL (authorization letter to travel ) or you are just taking the courage to travel irrespective. I am taking the boldness to travel in 2 months time after seeing some encouraging messages here. cheers

ednut1:

1. Ontario has waved the 3 months wait since the pandemic started. Why not message them as regards your pregnancy case. https://www.ontario.ca/page/apply-ohip-and-get-health-card#:~:text=Ontario%20is%20waiving%20the%20three,the%20criteria%20for%20OHIP%20coverage. Everything you also need to know is on their website.

2. Since you don't have acca, there is no cost effective way. Starting the cpa from scratch will cost you over 13000- 15,000 over 2 years. Better than going for a diploma or masters as those ones will cost you more.

Congratulations y'all @msidiodi, @successhungry, @flakeyy, @aj101, @ZaraD, & @Zorodninija & @tysaxmalomo
