good evening,

please how can one show proof of funds from selling bitcoins and gift cards?

Is your bitcoins business legally registered with corporate affairs commission? If yes, provide the business registration certificate and tax receipts you pay to the government.

Hi my people,

Please, I need some views from the experienced and guru in the house (please, indicate if you have had a personal experience)

I just got accepted into a second Master (Research) from a University in Canada. The First Master was in USA and ended last year August but I'm really interested in research and want to be gummed in research towards my PhD. I however have some concerns as I plan to submit my Study permit application against Sept Start.

1. What is the effect of having a current EE profile on success of Study Permits. or to what extend do you think it will affects, has anybody with EE profile been given that you know?

2. Having gotten a Master before and coming for another Master, how will that affect? Though the master I'm coming for is a Research Master unlike the Professional Master I had in USA

3. Do having a part funding from school help in the visa? I was given a funding that is about 60% of my school fees.

4. What tips do have for me that will improve my chances based on your experience?

I need an experience person with similar case to guide me personally please, so let me know via inbox if you can.

Thanks so much in advance

Hi House,

I'm waiting for your comments on this, please.

Welcome to the thread, I hope you will find your stay here very educating and rewarding.

With regards to your questions;

1-) As stipulated on IRCC official website, Having 2 intents (1 for temporary residence and 1 for permanent residence) is legitimate. Hence, this doesn't adversely effect your study permit application. For further details relating to this matter, kindly refer to IRCC WEBSITE ON DUAL INTENT. However, I have read a GCMS NOTE where an active EE was a reason for a refusal. This is due to the fact that applicant weren't able to satisfy the visa officer that they will depart from Canada after the authorized period of stay. Notwithstanding, there are many applicants who have been successful with their study visa while having an active EE profile. So i think it boils down to the visa officer in charge of the application.

2-) Going for a second masters degree instead of a PhD can be justified beyond reasonable doubt by explaining to the Visa officer that the previous masters you earned from the US was more of course/project based and thus does not qualify you for a Phd program since your long term goal is to become a lecturer). Go further by rationally explaining to the visa officer that the current 2 years masters which you're opting for at this point in your career is intensely research focused, and will qualify you for, and be a foundation for a related PhD program in the near future.

3-) Having funding doesn't in anyway help your application. You still have to satisfy that you meet the necessary three (3) Canadian immigration requirements for issuance of a study Visa.

These three (3) criterions includes;
i) Proof of financial sufficiency (you need to also include your SOA, irrespective of the fact that you've funding).
ii) Reasons for your planned studies in Canada (this is where your SOP comes in play, the correlation between your previous masters, your current job role and intended program).
iii) Your family ties in Nigeria that will compel your departure after studies (spouse, kids, landed property, buildings, investment/shares in banks etc).

Note; Applicants who had full funding from potential supervisors were rejected of their visas. So funding doesn't guarantee your Visa approval. Contact a knowledgeable guru on this thread to assist you with your application so as to avoid any mistakes/errors.

4-) Read through my past posts on this thread and follow this link for the
LIST OF DOCUMENTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL CANADA STUDY VISA APPLICATION: .

I hope this information helps.

Amen oo
I actually saw letter requesting Biometrics so I m assuming it’s an automated message once n application is submitted.

You've to exercise a little bit patience until 90 days before you can undergo your biometrics.

Greetings Oga Frankrobbn1,

Thanks

Good morning everyone. Really having issue compressing all this documents in one wheew.
I have compressed all my document but can't still get 4MB and I dont want some unreadable. What else can I do? No other place to upload more documents?

Use www.ilovepdf.com - Extreme Compression (Less Quality). It might look blur, however that's the available option for you at the moment. The visa officers have their ways of viewing these documents and making it clearer from their end. So many applicants have used this less quality option and still were approved of their visas.

Hi guys, hope Every one is keeping safe.
I submitted my second visa application last month and due to the current situation happening now, my school moved may applicants to sept. They have emailed me a fresh admission letter for sept.

Question: How do i submit my current admission letter for sept to cic or should i wait till they request for a new one.
Thank you and God bless

Go ahead and send the updated admission letter to THE NAIROBI WEB FORM or email Nairobi office via this email nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca and it will be appended on your ongoing application. If any other document is required during the process, you will be contacted to provide them..

Good afternoon House, hope y'all are staying safe
A quick one

A Tuition Payment Receipt from a School, where is the right place to upload it ? The Client Information Section (The Applicant) or Proof of Funds/financial Status section (Sponsor Document- Father) ?

Thanks

Tuition receipt should be uploaded in the PROOF OF MEANS OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT.

Hello Frank and Gurus in the house. I have ongoing Study Visa application for approval which I applied last month, my school advise me to defer my admission to September due to wat is happening. My question is if I defer my admission intake to September, hope it won't affect my Visa ongoing processing?

No it doesn't have any effect on your ongoing visa processing as the Canadian embassy (IRCC) has assured prospective applicants that applications made during this pandemic moment will not be refused for non-compliance for any requested documents from their office.

They applied for visiting visa and their application status is still reading submitted.

Hi Gurus,
I submitted my application yesterday and today they sent me Letter for Biometrics to expire on April 30th.
My last Biometrics was in Dec 2014 and still valid. With this lockdown I can’t move an inch . P’ease Who submitted recently and what was it like?

You DON'T need to undergo a fresh biometrics as your previous biometrics enrollment is valid for ten (10) decade i.e 2024. The Canadian embassy started processing your application 24hrs after you had submitted your application. I believe you got an email during this time that stated you've an update in your application, and when you logged in, you couldn't see any changes made on your profile. This is called a ghost update and a sign that your application process had just begun. Keep the hope alive.

Good morning house, please those of you that applied at home how did you go about printing the IMM forms for signature?
Thank you

You DON'T have to sign the IMM forms, after the successful uploading of files into their various sections, you will be prompted to use your full name as written on your passport to electronic sign and transmit your application.

Good morning guys.
i really need help, i am looking for schools for Winter 2020 without application fees. thanks in anticipation guys.
Intended Degree: BSC OR DIPLOMA.

You're at the right place.... Check Centennial College for their diploma programs. They offer tuition free applications for international students. Meanwhile, you can't find any application free schools for an undergraduate program (BSc) to be precise.

Olayinkaji:
SORRY HOUSE, A QUICK QUESTION. Do not mind me. In the submission of statement of account, are you to submit it to the embassy or forward it as a mail? I am preparing to print out the statement of account tomorrow in preparation of application and I was thinking since the embassy is closed, and I then print out when I want to apply, will the SOA not be deemed "not current" or late? Sorry for the mix-up in language

The SOA is meant to be submitted alongside with other supporting documents. You DON'T forward SOA to the embassy at the time of application submission. You only do so if they requested for it during the time of processing your application. More importantly, SOA is valid for a month, so make every move to be sure your application is submitted within a month of having printed the SOA.

I hope this information is clear enough.

austinelex:
Hello my people in the house pls I hope Canada is not strict In issuing student visa like the USA because I would be going for my biometric on May(when this corona issue is over)

Submit your application and hope for the best. The process might turn out to favour you even if the visa officers at the Canadian embassy are strict when scrutinizing Nigerian applications. In the end, pray for grace.

Pseermuhel:
Amen. Thank you very much bro. I've submitted my passport with the documents.

You went through the paper route. You will have to wait until the COVID-19 pandemic virus has completely reduced/is no more before you can have your passport back.

Accept my congratulations by faith. Keep the house posted on the outcome of your application.

Cousin application was refused yesterday due to:
* family ties
* personal asset & finan. Circumstances.

Surprisingly his mother and two siblings who applied with him for the purpose of accompany him, their application was not refused, but still read 'Submitted'
Is there any hope for his mum and two siblings getting approved after the principal applicant's application was refused?
GCSM note already requested for.

What type of immigration program did they apply for? Sadly, when the principal applicant (PA) application is already refused, the rest of the accompanying dependants will also be automatically refused based on same ground.

Keep the house posted on the outcome of the rest of application.

cannymustgo20:
Hope we’re all staying safe. Please house I need your help. I have two diploma and HND in business administration and management. Please I want to know if I can apply for masters with HND. Though my credential is under evaluation with WES.

I would also need guidance from someone who has or is applying to university of regina.

Thank you

You're at the right place.... However, it is important to know that you can't secure a master's program with a HND certification. Your best bet is opting for a post graduate diploma/certificate (PGD/C). Please don't
make the mistake of applying and wasting your hard earned application fees to any of the Universities in Canada for a masters program.

Hi guys,

Please I need your advice on what to do. I submitted my application (paper route) January 20 and I did an upfront medical which was approved January 27.

Ever since I've not received feedback as regard my application. It is now more than 10 weeks. Please what advice will you give me on this.

Thank you.

Send an email to the Kenya, Nairobi immigration office requesting for the status/update on your application and asking if they require any further documents from you that could expedite the processing of your Visa. Don't forget to mention that your application for a study permit has exceeded the standard processing times for Nigerian applicants. Furthermore, even if your application is approved now, you will also face delay in passport submission as the VFS office is currently lockdown until further notice.

Thank you for your response.
Do you have any idea what kind of admission someone can get with that ?
Is it possible to get a direct internship in Canada if the person is already a PR ?
Thank you.

National Technical Certificate is an ordinary diploma in Nigeria, so applying with such certification in any of the Canadian institutions will either earn you a post secondary dipolma, advanced diploma program or a bachelor's degree program.

It's possible to get direct internship in Canada whether you're a study permit holder or PR holder. Internship has got nothing to do with your present immigration status. If your program in Canada requires you undergo an internship prior to completion, then you're ought to do it.

Please is their anybody that have applied to university of Regina Master in sociology thesis and have gotten decision from the University

Admission into the University of Regina for a master's program takes about 3-4 months. If your application is within this standard processing times, you should keep all hope alive for a positive outcome. However, if your application has exceeded this stipulated period of time, I would advise you contact the graduate admission office for the current status of your application.

Hey guys I need y'all advice

I'm reapplying for a study permit for Fall 2020
My question is, I want to print a bank statement, my dad is my sponsor.
And it's a 6months bank statement, can I print the statement before April because October starting balance is high about 49million but If I should print in April then November balance would start with 21million so please should i wait for April or just print and submit on 31st

The starting balance of your sponsor's account doesn't really count. What matters the most is the inflow and outflow and the current available balance as at when the statement was printed. Hence, you can certainly print your dad's account statement by first week of April and apply for your Visa in same April. Endeavour to be sure that all i's are well dotted and all T's crossed in your application before applying.
