we share similar timeline.

applied 27th january with all NSE requirements.
eligibility review started 17th february.
I have been getting only ghost updates for now.
I am optimistic that they would give final decision this month before 18th.

Given your profile and updates on your application. You're most likely to get your visa approved this time.

Good afternoon house
Please I am currently applying for a study permit online and I will like to know if I will need to submit a hardcopy passport photo and if yes, will I need to write my name an date of birth on it.
Lastly will I need to sign the online forms.

Submit an E-copy of your passport photograph with your application. You're also not required to sign any of the immigration forms. Upon uploading of documents into their various columns, you will be required to electronically sign your application with your full name as written on passport.

You need to provide a seperate letter of explanation addressing the lump sum deposit that came into your account and provide verifiable evidence as to the origin of the funds.

Note: that your present application will be processed by the visa office in Nairobi not Accra anymore.

HELLO

AM ASKING UN-BEHALF OF A FRIEND

HE WAS AWARDED A FUNDING OF 30,000CAD BY HER SUPERVISOR WHICH HAVE COVERED THE TUITON FEE AND LEAVING EXPENSES

DOES HE NEED TO GET A SPONSOR AGAIN?

He can provide a bank statement that will cover for his miscellaneous expenses. While filling his study permit application form, he should clearly indicated "Full Scholarship" as the sponsor of his education in Canada.

hi all im new here im a high school graduate and i want to apply for undergraduate program at humber college and i dont know what to do or where to start from pls can anyone put me through

To better increase your visa chances, I would suggest you apply for a Bachelor degree in a University. This is to demonstrate that you're a bonafide student.

@Frankrobbn1: Good evening, I am a graduate of Sociology with a 2:1(4.28 CGPA).
Please I have applied to four schools in Canada (University of Manitoba twice, Windsor University and Memorial University) and did not get admission in any of the schools.
Please can I get your email address to email you details with regards to my applications and if you can be of any help to me, I will sincerely appreciate it. It's almost becoming frustrating for me.
Thank you and God bless.

Sorry for the delayed response from me. Its most likely that your statement of purpose for admission is not convincing and doesn't demonstrate that you're a deserving student for this program. Never to give up, I will guide on the right path towards securing admission for MSc in Sociology.

Hi guys I need your honest opinion on this, like put yourself in my shoes and tell me what you would do. ok so I started this studying abroad journey back in 2019 I was fresh out of high school and didn't plan on schooling in Nigeria, Canada has always been the only country on my mind. So I apply to one school in Canada, university of Manitoba, Winnipeg I was granted admission in November 2019 and applied for visa December of that same year, my decision envelope came and I was denied because of insufficient fund not because I didn't have the money the account wasn't funded so we funded the account and applied again and I forgot to add am not the only one going it's me and my junior sister and when I mean wasn't funded the money there wasn't enough for two people. So we funded the account and applied again in February 2020 and yes we we're using an agent so I didn't get any response from the embassy till October when only passport was returned without it being stamped and a little note which says Decision making is still in progress, final decision not taken I found that weird but since they gave a reasons I kept on waiting sending emails and webforms till February when I reached out to my agent and he said he got a mail from IRCC and he needed to see us privately and I was like wondering what went wrong so we met up with him only to tell me I've been banned from Canada for 5years for misrepresentation. Turns out IRCC already sent him an email since October to respond to clear their suspicion about misrepresentation and my agent didn't respond to them neither did he let us know about it until he was arrested, This was the same for my sister. I posted that on nairaland asking for you guys help and so on, i was told to avoid these countries:US UK Australia and New Zealand because they share the same database with Canada. Now I've searched for countries and I've come to the decision that Germany was ok for both me and my sister I've even picked two schools already and yes I'm going for a Bachelors degree and I plan to study anything relating to business, it could be marketing, business admin.,management e.t.c. ok so now I've spent 2yrs at home already and all my classmate are in school and I don't want to waste this year again on a country that would waste my time and money then not grant me visa and with what am seeing they said booking Appointment date with Germany is like asking the Nigerian government to pass a death sentence bill for (financial) corruption which is a first red flag for me like I don't have have another year to waste I want my application to move smoothly. my question is do you have any know European country that I could try I mean put yourself in my shoes and tell Me what you would do? At this point I'm confused and No schooling in Nigeria is not an option neither is schooling in Ukraine Cyprus or turkey so pls I need as much opinions as I can get

Sorry about the sad outcome of your application. The bad effects of being found inadmissible to Canada for a period of 5-years is extremely terrible and after serving this punishment/ban, it will be quite difficult to secure a visa to Canada or to any other top-rated English speaking countries (US, UK, New Zealand, Australia) whom have information sharing agreement with Canada.

Nonetheless, I know of a friend presently in Canada who was in same situation like yours and stupidly replied to the Procedural Fairness Letter (PFL) himself. He did not realize the severity of the situation and doesn't know how important it was to hire a lawyer to reply to the PFL letter. He ended up receiving a 5-year ban from IRCC for misrepresentation. After the ban was issued to him. I urged him to seek for a legal assistance/advice on the present matter. He heeded to my advice and went ahead to hire an experienced attorney. After having a 30 mins phone consultation with the lawyer, he felt confident that a ban is not actually a death sentence as it could also be overturned. The lawyers specialize in more difficult cases and they helped him in fighting the 5-year misrepresentation ban through the Judicial Review. Fortunately, they settled the case with the lawyer from IRCC. The lawyer from IRCC decided to settle and accept the settlement offer instead of going through the whole Federal Court process. He was elated because at the end of the entire process, the lawyer got the ban removed and his application was submitted for redetermination which was later approved by another immigration officer. Be careful not to wait too long. You only have a 60 days eligibility duration to fight through judicial review if the decision of your application was made outside of Canada. The major drawback involved with fighting through the Judicial Review process is due to the fact that its an expensive and time consuming process. Trust me, its worth it as you will receive justice on your case.

Prior to the implementation of the above suggestion as narrated by me, be sure and truthful to yourself that the bank statement submitted with your study permit application is in fact genuine and you've strong evidence to support its authenticity at the Federal Court of Canada as well as evidence to support the fact that your application was prepared by a compensated agent. Apart from this, I would advice you explore other good countries in Europe which don't have information sharing agreement with Canada. Germany, Lithuania, Belgium, Ireland, Poland, Spain and Hungary are good options.


I hope this information is helpful to your situation.

SandyTom:
Hy Guys please I need your help, I am new here and need advice like a lot.
1. I am a graduate of Mass Communication 3rd Class but I want to go for a Diploma/Certificate in Hospitality Management. I was told I could apply for it but I needed to explain why I am going for the study. The thing now is do I need my degree certificate to apply? I need your candid opinion and advise. Thank you

Hospitality Management is not reasonable in light with Mass Communication. As a result, your application for study permit is at higher risk of getting a refusal. Its advisable that you should go for a program that is in direct correlation with your undergraduate studies or current employment. You can apply for any Media Communication programs which are available at Conestoga College. To begin the process, you will require to submit either your statement of result or degree certificate as well as a scanned copy of your transcripts, waec result and resume.

Choice of program
Applied for Human Resources management. (PGD)

Previous academic standing
Had my first degree in social work. Graduate with a CGPA of 4.11. Wanted to switch back to management as I have always wanted so I decided to go for a psychology related field. HRM was the closest for me so I applied and gained admission.

Sponsor
My mother is my sponsor. She has about 3.6 million in her naira account and 10kUSD in her dollar account. Both in first bank. The naira account Has over 11million running through 12months. Also have some landed properties worth about 18million in her name.

Sorry for the outcome of your application. I have reviewed your profile and supporting documents attached herein. My professional advice for you is to opt for a direct Master's program that is relevant to your previous undergraduate studies in HRM. Its very obvious that the visa officer rejected your application due to the fact that there is no logical progression in your academics and on this ground, he is not satisfied that you're a bonafide student in view of your 2.1 grade in your first degree.


I hope this information helps.

Hello Everyone,

Please kindly advice. My friend submitted her application last week and later noticed that IELTS is now being asked for in recent times. Based on this, she has a few questions.

1. Hope submission of IELTS general test written in Nov 2019 not mean dual intent?

2, While filling the form, there was a section where they asked if an applicant's English Language skills have been evaluated by an English Language examination body? She answered NO.

3. Hope her response of NO to question 2 above not affect her application if she finally submits IELTS general done in Nov 2019?

Dear @Lekkiboboe, @Frankrobbn1, @JustMellow, @Rootiab and other gurus in the house, please respond to these questions.

Thank you so much

See my responses below;

1. IELTS Certificate is valid for two (2) years. Therefore, the Nov, 2019 result is still valid and acceptable.


2. She should provide an updated IMM1294E with a copy of the IELTS.


3. Her response to the question doesn't in no way have a negative effect on her application.


Do exactly what I have adviced and she will have no issues with her application.

Good morning everyone, please does anyone know if I can use an IELTS General training result for a study permit.

I have gotten admission already from a school that didn’t require it because I’m a citizen of Nigeria.

But I’m thinking I should add it to my application as a supporting document just incase.

I wrote this Particular IElTS exam last year when I thought I was going to apply for PR / express entry whatever

Hey guys, I am going for a four year undergraduate study but my passport is expiring in three years. Will I need to renew my passport before I can submit it to get my visa.

You can submit the passport with three (3) years validity with your application. The Immigration officer will issue you a visa that will last until the duration of your passport. You can always renew your passport at the Nigerian Consulate in Ottawa and extend your study permit. Please do not renew your passport at this time.
