Thanks, please what's your take on someone that graduated 2016 from Agricultural economics and extension. Serve in 2017 and he applied for Environmental technology at NBCC.Do you see any correlation between the two programs?With no working experience but into family business.What will be your advise?

Environmental technology has to with the application of technology to environmental problems whilst, Agricultural economics & extension is an applied field of economics concerned with the application of economic theory in optimizing the production and distribution of Agricultural food etc... As a consequence, there are no rational correlation between both programs. It's normal for applicant's to change a career path. On other note, applicant must write convincingly to why he is not furthering in the discipline of his previous studies. He might want to quote the associated incentives of his career back home after the completion of the program in Canada, employment opportunities, career goals etc... as a reason for a change while putting up his letter.

IELTS STILL DER THERE. ESPECIALLY THE WRITING, IT HAS BECOME ........................

So many applicants have suffered for same difficulty especially on the express entry thread. While reading through the thread, I came across applicants who have written the IELTS exam five consecutive times (75kX5= 375K) and yet were unable to achieve the required band score. so so sad and I feel for them. Well, I believe persistency, strong devotion, and using the appropriate learning materials (Cambridge IELTS books & IELTS liz) is the key to a successful IELTS. I will be sitting for my exams by next month. I hope to be favoured by the power of Good luck.

Cc: GMs....... If your case boils down to this, then you're better off applying for a second master's degree or rather a PhD.

I greet everyone in the house. Please i need both help and advise because my case is complex. I have Bsc in Industrial Relationship which has been evaluated by wes. Though people might tell me to do PNP but i did not work in any HR unit or position so i dont have experience in that field. I also have a diploma in Light Vehicle Automotive Mechanic from Australia. I want to apply for Advance Diploma in Transportation and dispatching in canada, what are my chances? I worked for over 14 years before i left to study Auto Mechanic in Australia. I am currently working as a mechanic in Australia for less than one year now but will like to move to canada through school. I have a good travelling history as i have travelled to UK, Germany, US and Australia. I have gotten a school already that is requesting for my wes evaluation. please what should I do. Every suggestion and advise is welcomed. thank you.

With your profile, your sporting chance of securing a Canadian study permit is to opt for a master's degree as advanced diploma is way lower to your already completed degree.

I'd like to seek an advice regards to my application for masters ( Agric Business Management ), Canada, my first degree was B.sc Agric, 2015, being someone that's always been interested in politics and also love to cross from sciences to art, I decided to have my masters ( Masters of public and international relations ). Submitting my application, do I need to fill in the form that I also have a masters in MPIA, cause I heard they want you to do someone that's related to your first degree in your masters. Thank you

Hello,

Go for Express Entry and become a permanent resident of Canada. It's far far better than a study permit (TRV).

As a permanent resident, you have the right to:
1-) Get most social benefits that Canadian citizens receive, including health care coverage.
2-) Live and work without restrictions anywhere in Canada.
3-) Pay the same tuition rate with the Canadians.
4-) Be eligle to apply for Canadian citizenship within 3 years under Canadian law and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Etc..

Do you want to leave all of these for a temporary resident visa? I would suggest you've a rethink over this and exploit this option. Thank me later.

neverlosehope:
This thinking is incorrect.

I am presently in Canada studying with my family. We applied together and our visas were approved together. Also, I have many of my colleagues who applied together with their family and their visa were approved.

A family of mine started his program in UBC this January. He applied for his study visa along with his family at the same time and all the visas were approved. He came in for Masters degree and not PhD.

Thanks

Why is it incorrect?

Everyone's situation is unique and as such treated differently, what worked for you might not work for the other. Moreover, I found out from your profile that you've acquired enormous travel histories that would add to the visa officer's assessment that you're likely to return home after visit. I am not in the objection that family application can't be attainable. However, due to the fact that the applicant was refused on the basis of her purpose of visit to Canada which encompasses with several refusal reasons ranging from inadequate ties, course correlation between previous studies and current activity, as well as poorly written study plan. Thus, why i suggested she apply alone in an effort to evidence that her current situation has substantively changed and would merit a TRV. In summary, the applicant should order for their GCMS Note so as to have a clearer picture of what went wrong with the application as we might likely be dwelling on the basis of our assumptions.

@frankrobbn1 Please I need to know if my wife needs to write SOP AND LOE for re-applying. here is my email gig3939@gmail.com so you can help me review the LOE she composed already.

Hi boss,

She would need an LOE to address the concerns of the visa officer. I have responded to your PM.

Damlovey:
I didn’t input the UCI but I indicated that i had been rejected before on my form

That would not be a problem to your application since you truthfully indicated that you've been denied visa in the past. Your Passport number will automatically be used to regenerate the UCI number.

gig1005:
@Frankrobbn1 She owns a small mini-mart in my estate before she went for her NYSC service. but this is the reason of her refusal.

After careful review of your study permit application and supporting documentation, I have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the IRPA and IRPR. I am refusing your application on the following grounds:

1. 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 purpose of visit.

She apply with our two kids as she going for her PhD program and I already paid one-year tuition fee to the school, and I already make the fund needed in her account and the kids account because I have been running the kids account since they are little.

gig1005:
@Schonebaby thanks alot. Did she need to write another SOP that is different from the SOP she submitted earlier and Can you help with the guideline on how to write LOE or she does not need to write an LOE.

HOUSE PLEASE HELP.

Hi gig1005,

As other members of the thread has suggested. In her next application, she should apply alone. Once she has successfully gotten her TRV, she can then file an application for her accompanying dependents to Canada. This process will boost her chances of securing a TRV as well as showing that she has significant ties to her home country. Having said that, It's very difficult for her accompanying dependents to be refused a TRV (kids) and SOWP (spouse) after she must have received a study permit because the Canada’s commitment to family unification clearly stated that international students and their families have the opportunity to experience Canadian life together. Whether it is for a few months or for several years, international students will be comforted to know that their loved ones can be nearby as they pursue their dreams of obtaining a Canadian education. Above all, she should start now by putting up a cogent letter of explanation that will address the reason for her visa refusal and convincingly demonstrate that her current situation has substantively changed and why she is a bonafide applicant that would merit a study permit and depart after her visit.

gig1005:
@frankrobbn1 Please I need your assistant as no medical was requested before her application was denied and She didn't include that she was serving in the last application. Can I include it now if shes reapplying? But she will be done with her NYSC next 2 month and she wants to re-apply for September intake.

What did you fill as her current activity on her study permit application form IMM1294? Yes, you can include the information on her next application that she is presently serving her home country and will be done in 2 months time. I have seen applicants who got approvals even while active on their NYSC program.

TRV processing time update 26/03/2019

This is awesome! Keep it up

Omarzx:
@frankrobbn1 how can one correct a mistake on submitted form via paper route please.

To correct a form after application submission, you have to fill out the complete form where the error lies and send it across to Kenya (Nairobi) Immigration department via this email: nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca

The subject of the mail should bear URGENT, along side your FULL NAME, UCI NUMBER, APPLICATION NUMBER AND DATE OF BIRTH.

Also send the updated form through THE NAIROBI WEBFORM

In the body of the mail, you should state that during your application process the form (QUOTE THE NAME OF THE FORM) that was wrongly filled and now you're attaching with this mail the amended one. Hence, you would request that the form be appended with your ongoing application and updated on your MyCIC account within the shortest possible timeframe. Lastly, thank them for the success so far in processing your TRV application.

@Naijaforeigner, Frankrobbn1,Qudkom,everyone out there-just want to say Thank you for your time and thanks for sharing your knowledge here... It might not seem that way but ur highly appreciated.

I am thy humble servant to command. Thanks for the appreciation!

Please Gurus in the House :
I don't see anybody applying to Simon Fraser University, is it not a good school for Masters?... Is it difficult to get a PR after graduation from the Province or is it that there are no jobs there after graduation or jobs for supporting Spouse?.... Someone please enlighten me.

Simon Fraser University is a good institution. There have never been a misconception that getting a PR and a job for your spouse after graduation is difficult. Fortunately, this applicant
Godatwork23 got his TRV approval last week and he is heading to Simon Fraser University for his Master's, you might want to contact him if you need further guidance from him.

Gunit87:
Please how do I SIGN the other forms except the IMM1214e that I can validate after filling while applying online I have to print out and sign, then scan??

Online application forms aren't meant to be signed. After successful completion and uploading of documents into their various sections through your MyCIC account, you will be redirected to a fresh page where you will be prompted to use your name as an electronic signature.

peruz:
Thanks for your volunteering guideline on this topic.How many number of words is compulsory for a suitable sop?Do you have any advise or guidelines in writing a convincing sop?

There are no set out rules for the number of words that will be suitable for an SOP. You can write as much as you can provided that it's persuasive, straight forward and concise. A 2-3 pages SOP is adequate for a first time applicant.

Therefore, your SOP should cover the following core areas;
1-) Describe your academic and professional background briefly,
2-) The program of choice,
3-) The school,
4-) Why you wish to undertake your program in Canada not Nigeria considering the high cost of international students and the local option available in your home country,
5-) Financial Provisions, how you intend to finance your studies in Canada without working and no recourse to public funds,
6-) Future Goals and Prospects, what you intend to achieve at the end of the program and how it might benefit you in the future and to your country men,
7-) Your home ties to Nigeria that can motivate your return home after authorized stay. This can be your immediate family members, registered business, landed properties, investments with the bank, spouse and kids.

Lastly, while drafting your SOP make an effort to back your points up with an evidence as this will speak well of you in your absence. Also, give your points in a logical manner, always be neutral and don't keep praising Canada and speaking ill about Nigeria because it will give the visa officer the impression that you're using study permit as means to abscond into Canada rather than educational advancement.

@makano @frankrobbn pls
I’m currently in the express entry pool
There’s a section in the study permit questionaire asking if I’ve once applied for permanent residency or so...do I tick yes or no
Thank you

Being in the Express Entry pool doesn't implies that you've already applied for a permanent residency of Canada. You only created a profile. The answer here is NO.

Omarzx:
@frankrobbn1 see my challenge please...linked my paper application and this is what I saw

It appears that you're not filling the right information. Please note that the DLI number starts with a letter O not zero (0). The length of your proposed program in Canada i.e start date and end date of the program MUST correlate with what you filled out on your study permit IMM1294 form. These are some of the common mistakes you could be making. More importantly, follow this STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE to LINK YOUR APPLICATION ONLINE

Don't hesitate to seek help here, if encounter any difficulty along the line.

So what is ietls for then

IELTS is an English proficiency test which are primarily taken by applicants who are coming from a non-english speaking country (India, Cameron, Sweden, Germany etc..) so as to ascertain their language proficiency level prior to their acceptance into the institution. Alternatively, IELTS general test are widely used for immigration purposes especially for applicants who are migrating permanently to Canada e.g Express Entry.

Johnsonkelvin:
Good news everywhere,God abeg bless me when I reapply ooo
How long does Gcms note take to arrive abeg?

GCMS Notes takes a minimum of 30-35 days.

Thanks Frank. One more question is SOP and Study plan same? In my checklist from here (Abu Dhabi) its states I should include study plan

It's same letter with different titles.

ALT2:
Hello house,
My international passport will expire in October, hope I can still use it to apply for study permit and submit the renewed one later.

Or do I need to renew it first?

It's best you renew it now since is 6 months close after this month.

adewumiopeyemi:
Are you sure about that

IELTS is not a prerequisite for admission into Canada's DLI especially for Nigerian Applicants whose language instructions/lectures during their undergraduate studies were carried out in English language.

2roodi:
Hi good morning, I just wanted to appreciate you for this, it really helped. My TRV has been approved!!!! The most alarming part is I didn’t write an SOP, so I panicked when people kept talking about theirs. God is Awesome.

I'm glad to hear it worked for you. Congratulations on your TRV approval. It is important to note that applicants who include SOP with their application do so because they have some clarifications to provide to the visa officer pertaining their personal circumstances. E.g Applicants that have previously applied for visa and was denied, would definitely need to include an SOP/LOE to explain that their current situation has substantively changed and the reason why a study visa should be granted to them. However, in the case that you don't have any explanation to present and you feel your application is upright, You can submit your application without including an SOP/LOE.

adewumiopeyemi:

If you're going for a post graduate studies, IELTS is not required for your admittance into a Canadian institution.

Yes you can.

Gunit87:
Please do I need to fill the "Schedule 1 - Application for temporary resident visa made outside Canada IMM525" on the optional document section while applying online for study permit? HELP PLS!

It's an optional document. It's not compulsory that you must fill it.

geofortress:
Good day my people here.....
Please I have a question begging for answer and clarifications....
If a supervisor agree to be your supervisor for a thesis based msc and told you to "put in a formal application and saying he is looking forward to review your application" what is the chance of the person being admmited with or without funding or being deny admission... Having meeting the minimum admission requirement for Nigeria..e.g strong 2.1 degree.

Anybody for clarification please..

From my discussions with several successful applicants who has secured funding for themselves through potential supervisors in Canada. The bolded is a good sign that the supervisor is willingly and eager to accept you to work under his/her supervision. I'll suggest you go ahead with the application and hope for the best!

Kenola01:
Bro frank, pls I sent u a mail. Pls help me look at it at your convenient time pls

I'll do that at my own pace my Boss!

missjack:
Hi, pls does anyone knows any college in Canada that doesn't require IELTS?
Help a sister pls...

Majority of the Canadian DLI doesn't require you to submit an IELTS test report form prior to your acceptance into the institution. So you have nothing to worry about in view of the fact that you're coming from an English speaking country, Nigeria.

Do you think not having a stable salary since 2017 after school will affect the study permit .Acceptance fee has been paid,He just want to apply for the study permit now and he's being careful about the document to submit and hope lack unemployment will not affect the proces

It won't have a negative impact on his application. Once he can show that he has been engaged with an activity (volunteering) non paid employee, ......He will be fine...... I know of so many applicants who has followed this approach and are currently studying in Canada. Consequentially, he should get a good letter from an established firm in his home country stating that he has been volunteering until this date. Ensure that his volunteer experience is in tadem with his proposed program in Canada. This will boost his chances of securing a TRV.
