Good day house,

Who has paid tuition via Form A recently? Which bank and what rate? I'm so tired of Zenith Bank, it's the 3rd week already.

Zenith Bank takes about 7 to 8 weeks to carry out international transactions (tuition payment). This is due to scarcity of forex from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). You've to wait it out.

This is to encourage all those who have been delayed of their visa in the past.
I submitted my first application on 10/10/2019 for a PhD in industrial systems engineering and got denied on Nov 2019 with an upfront medicals.
Reason.Purpose of visit and family ties.
I applied again on DEC 2019 without applying for Gcms note and got rejected again on January 2019.
Reason. Current employment situation and family ties.
Before I applied the third time,I joined nairaland but never asked any question or posted anything,but I kept following what MR frank was always advising. I now applied the third time through paper application on Feb.24/2020.
They demanded submission for my new admission letter on 9/14/2020 which I submitted the same day.
I got AIP on 9/25/2020
Redo medical on 10/19/2020
I did my medical on 3/11/2020 and IOM told me it has been sent to embassy on 5/11/2020
I didn't care to link the account to online account.
I got BVL on 1/20/2020
Then approval on 1/25/2020.

Never lose hope cos it must surely end in praise.

Thanks Frank for following you on nairaland.

MsJanez01:
Goodmorning. Please I was filling the IMM 5257 form and question 3 has UIC. I understand its a unique number for all applicants and since I have applied before I should have it. Please how do I get this number?

Also, I was refused visiting visa 2019. Reason was I did not truthfully answer all question, there were other reasons but this particular one pricks me as I had plans of birthing but didn't declare. Filling the study application now, I have declared my refusal in 2019. My dilemma now is.. how do I give detail explanation on this refusal knowing well that I concealed the birthing part and my son's details is captured, that I gave birth that period I had stated as my travelling period

You can get the UCI number from the previous refusal letter that was issued to you by the immigration of Canada. In the event that the letter is no where to be found, you can leave the space blank. Once you submit your application and pay the associated fees, your UCI number will be automatically generated with your previous biometrics number and expiration date. Its automated!


You don't need to provide any written statement for your previous refusal since its a tourist visa application. Truthfully declare on your study permit application form under the background information that you've been refused a tourist visa to Canada in 2019. You're good to go with this.


I hope this satisfies your inquiry, please feel free to ask me any related immigration questions.

Good evening house,

Please can anyone confirm if it is possible to apply for a graduate certificate course with my HND certificate in Canada?
If yes, please can you advise known universities that I can apply to? Will I also need to evaluate using WES or send the transcript to the school directly.

Thanks in anticipation

You can certainly gain admission with your HND Certificate at several colleges in Canada. You also don't require WES Evaluation prior to applying.


You can check schools like: Humber College, Fanshawe College, Conestoga College or Mohawk College.

Hello All. I have been a silent reader and about to submit my application but have a few questions:
1. I intend to go with my only child (1 year old), and she's an American citizen. Do I need to apply for her or there's no need?
2. If I do not need to apply for her, do I need to state it in my SOP that she will be coming with me?
3. My school only gave an acceptance letter where its included that my course includes COOP. What do I upload in the "Evidence of work requirement section?

@Lekkiboboe, @Justmellow @Fratermathy, Answers will be appreciated. Thank you for all you do on this forum.

Below are my answers to respond to your enquiry;


1. She (American Citizen) doesn't require a visa to accompany you to Canada. You can travel with her once your study visa pulls through.
2. Please DON'T state that she will be accompanying you to Canada as at the time of your application. This will adversely affect your ties to your home country.
3. Upload same Letter of Acceptance in the column.



I hope this satisfies your enquiry

And am confused about this one from college of New Caledonian is it post diploma or post graduate diploma some one help me please

Please be properly guided that post diploma is same as ordinary college diploma which is lower than a post graduate diploma. I would recommend you go for a Post Graduate Certificate/Diploma since you already have a degree.

Good morning, all.

I just got my refusal letter based on the following reasons:

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.
• Your proposed studies are not reasonable in light of one or more: your qualifications, previous studies, level of establishment, language abilities, or your future prospects and plans.

A few things:
1. I studied electrical engineering in undergrad and I'm going for the same master's program so I really don't understand the "purpose of visit". I even submitted a WES Canada translated transcript in my application citing a 3.5/4 final CGPA.

2. I didn't have any huge assets. The only thing I submitted was my salary SOA showing the monthly salary payment. I also used a relative of mine as a sponsor. What can I do to fix this?

The third reason is even more confusing.

I've ordered my GCMS notes and hopefully, it will come soon. Please ANY assistance from all the gurus in the house @frankrobb1 @justmelow and others will be much appreciated. I plan on applying again for the May or Sept semester and I want to be fully prepared to avoid a second rejection.

It will end in praise.

I regret to hear your study visa application was refused with the aforementioned reasons. At this juncture, I will prefer I see a copy of your GCMS notes before I can advice you on what you should do differently to attain success in your next application. However, It's possible you didn't sufficiently demonstrate to the immigration officer that your proposed studies is in tandem with your previous degree. I would say that your study plan was vague and didn't outline a clear career path as to the benefits of this program to your career back home.


Please obtain your GCMS notes as soon as possible.

Good morning gurus in the house. I recently got undergraduate admissions in University of Manitoba and Brandon and I intend to appy for the visa this week. I need clarifcations on the following.

1. The schools gave me letter to apply for the visa without paying tuition deposit. Does it matter if I do not pay before applying?
2. Considering that i got the admissions without ielts, can i still apply for the visa through the NSE route.

I am 17 and my father who is a banker is my sponsor. Is there any other thing I need to know.

1. Given that both schools doesn't require you to pay a deposit. There is no need paying tuition to the school. It might interest you to know that payment of upfront tuition fees is not a prerequisite to a visa approval. There are other factors surrounding every study permit application, which you must satisfy. Those key factors include the following;

1. Your reasons for your choice of program in Canada
2 . Financial sufficiency (your dad bank statement should be adequate to cover for your first year tuition fees and living expenses without working to pay your fees).
3. Strong ties to your home country, Nigeria (family members, parents assets, aged parents and future career prospects in Nigeria after studies etc)


2. Apparently, every application receives the NSE request. You can decide to opt out or go for the NSE route. There is no penalty for opting out. As a matter of fact, prospective applicants opted out and still got approval provided your reasons are rational.

Good evening everyone,

I just got my admission letter from university of Alberta to study Communications and Technology.

I want to start my application process. My boss wants to pay for my first year tuition while I and my husband handle the rest. My question is..... What document apart from CAC and a reference letter stating that he is funding my first year tuition, does he need to provide?

Please help.

Congratulations on the receipt of Admission at University of Alberta. Please don't use your employer as your sponsor, this will reduce your chances of getting approval. There are several concerns from the visa officer that follows using a third party (employer) as a sponsor to an international student. Those questions include:

1. Why is your employer sponsoring you?
2. What have you done for the company and now wants to sponsor your studies abroad instead of Nigeria (a cheaper option).
3. How many years have you been working for this employer?
4. What does the company stands to gain as a result of this sponsorship?
5. Is there any legal agreement/bond between you and your employer that confirm your return to them after the completion of your studies in Canada?
6. Why are you an outstanding candidate amidst other employees in the company?
7. Are the board of directors aware of your employer's intent to finance your studies abroad?
8. Is there any board resolution letter to back up your employer's claim?


Now, you can see the gravity of questions that needs to be adequately answered by your employer if he intends sponsoring your education in Canada. In light of this, you're better off using him as your Uncle while he pays your first year tuition and transfer funds into your personal dorm account to show financial accessibility.


I hope this information is helpful to your inquiry.

Asking for a friend. What course is suitable for someone who has been working in a security agency here in Nigeria for close to 5 years but graduated two years ago with a low second class lower in Civil Engineering? After his first degree he went back to his work as a security personnel. Would courses like pgd courses in construction management be a good idea?

He should go for a degree that is relevant to his first undergraduate degree (Construction Management).

So its safe to say that a 25-30 year old diploma graduate should apply for an Advanced Diploma, opia?

Between the age of 25-30 years old. An applicant with National Diploma in Nigeria should opt for Advanced Diploma in Canada. The letter of explanation must be well detailed, concise and should provide justifications as to why the program of choice is the next progressive step in their career.

Hi everyone, how long does it take between biometrics and request for medicals. A friend did biometrics since first week in December and hasn't heard anything since then. Thanks.

There is no stipulated timeframe between biometrics and medical request. A medical request is usually initiated by the senior immigration officer if he/she is satisfied that an applicant meets the eligibility requirements for study permit issuance. While getting a medical request is a positive signal, it still doesn't guarantee that an applicant's application will be approved in the end.

Hello house,

Good evening,

For Career/Academic progression sake, what should an Ordinary Diploma graduate with 7 years work experience apply for ?

Thanks

How old is the applicant in question? If the applicant is a matured student say 30years and above, then an Advanced Diploma would be his best choice for progression. However, in the event that the applicant is still within his early twenties, then an undergraduate degree would fly.

Hello,
Please do you have an idea why my medical has not changed status.... It is still saying’ you action is required’ we have requested for your medical result’

Please I did medical on Tuesday. I need to be sure please. And can I be refused if medical is not passed(God forbid- I reject this in the mighty Name of Jesus!!!) I am just curious.

Thank you.

You're being too religious here. By the way, why would you nurse such kind of negative thoughts in the first place. I don't believe that the immigration will refuse your application on such basis considering that they were the ones that requested for the medicals and you've duly completed the exam as instructed.


In view of the foregoing, I would advice you to raise a webform and upload a copy of your E-medical slip for the reassessment of the immigration officer.


PS: Also confirm from the panel physician where you enrolled for the medical exam to be sure that they have sent your results to IRCC.

Good day guys, thank you to all the gurus here for all the information shared.. I have learnt a lot.
Please , I need your help. I received a correspondence mail(biometric validity letter) this morning without medical request (did not do upfront medical). I am thinking if I should order gcms note now so i get within the 30/40days. Because my ielts will expire feb. ending and I don’t want to write another one in case I need to reapply.. I am a sept applicant , got NSE request in Nov and submitted in Dec... will appreciate your candid opinion.

Personally, I wouldn't advice you to apply blindly without obtaining your case notes to see the concerns of the visa officer in the previous refused application. It's highly advisable that you should prepare your application tightly and overcome the issues raised initially. I'm aware that your IELTS is to expire in Feb, albeit, you shouldn't rely on that basis and be quick to submit a reapplication without properly understanding the reasons for refusal. You can always rewrite your IELTS or better still opt out from the NSE program.

hello sir, I’ve picked a school - university of Saskatchewan that offers masters in finance which is 2 years, And my cgpa is 3.84 . These are the documents they are requesting
-language proficiency requirement
-minimum score of 500 on gmat/gre
-contact three referee
I) letter of recommendation
II) two referees. Must be academic contacts
III) third may be academic or professional . I don’t have any of this documents, What should I do next. Is it still possible for me to get this admission this year

I would suggest you try other institutions that wouldn't require such documentation from you. University of Windsor is a better option.

Thanks for your feedback Frank. I also have another concern. I intend getting an offer letter from a company(though the company is 2years old but doing well). The CEO is also giving me a letter of reference. This is just to sort the home tie obligation as my current place of work refused doing such. My questions are as follows

1. Do I tell the Ceo to state his intention to partner with me after my studies, on same letter as the reference or he writes an offer letter separately
2. What's your view on the whole idea?

Its a good idea and will help you build your employment prospects in Nigeria.

The CEO should write a letter of reference stating their readiness to offer you employment upon your return home after studies and the impact your acquired knowledge and skills from Canada would be of immense benefit to their establishment.

Actually,

Conestoga college have construction management program available for both International students & domestic students.

They are being differentiated by code numbers, program duration & one of them is project management embedded.

See this,

- PG. Cert in Construction Management -1378B
(2 years program)
Conestoga College, Waterloo,
Ontario

https://www.conestogac.on.ca/fulltime/construction-management

The 1378B is available for international students, but not available for Canadian Students

- PG. Cert Construction Project Management - 0895 (a year program)
Waterloo, Ontario

https://www.conestogac.on.ca/fulltime/construction-project-management

The 0895 is available for Canadian students but not available for International Students

To confirm this
On their website, it says

Note:
This program is designed for international students wishing to pursue studies in the field of construction management. Domestic students (Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and refugee claimants or convention refugees) wishing to pursue studies in construction management should choose Construction Project Management (program 0895).


Regards

An applicant briefed me about her experience when applying for this program (PG. Cert in Construction Management -1378B (2 years program) and confirmed that the admission board requested her to provide WES evaluation prior to submission.


I'll carry out further investigation on this course and revert back to you.
