Why na? You shouldn't have done that having 2 lay over in Schengen country.

You can get a transit visa through France but you will still need to show proof of funds if they are still requested.

Avoid any flight layover in America or more than one lay over in any Schengen country

This can be show abnormal most time if you are not well hydrated during the time you undergo the test.

MayorJoshofNewY:
They are just letting the IRCC know the possible health risk you are at at the moment. Meanwhile, the stated values indicate the level of creatine in the blood level or in simpler terms that the kidney(s) MAY be performing lower than expected, indicative of possible kidney infection or malfunction.
I recommend to start paying serious attention to those kidneys to prevent a collapse of health.

Thanks for your write up bro, sorry I was convinced about the 40hrs a weeks jobs you mentioned? I tot student can only work for 20hrs a week ?

Also nothing good comes easy bro we will survive last last lol



Kenn55:
I have wanted to write this for the past 2 weeks, but each time I write, i end up deleting it, after all, it is not my business. But I feel some people need to understand reality.

Now, over the last 3 months or so, I have been coming across a lot of international students especially in church who are getting so frustrated. As someone who has lived in Canada for many years, this is the first time I'm seeing this trend.

One thing that is common among these frustrated students is that they pinned their hopes on getting a job to augment the cost of their programs in Canada. Unfortunately, jobs for international students are now a problem.

There are many theories on why things are getting rough for international students. One theory is that there are now too many students unlike before. In fact, there is an increase of about 400k students compared to previous years and this is why the govt is now considering putting a cap on the number of students allowed into the country. So the number of students have surpassed the available jobs making it difficult to get a job as a student and even accommodation

Second theory is that because of the government allowing students to work up to 40 hrs a week, it has now made 1 student to do a job 2 students would have shared when it was max of 20 hrs a week. So student A can work 40 hrs while student B won't find any.

There are many other theories to the issues but the fact is that things have changed for the worse for students in recent times. So it is important for anyone coming to study to understand this reality. If you don't have money that can take care of all the expenses for the duration of your studies, please for your own sake, consider deferring your admission and gather all the money you need before leaving. DON'T RELY ON WORKING TO FUND PART OF YOUR EXPENSES. It might have been reliable 3 years ago but not now.

Last week I met a student who was complaining bitterly. She has been looking for a job for sometime now. She said if she doesn't get a job within the next 2 weeks she wouldn't be able to pay her rent and other expenses from October as she is running out of money. But she blamed Canada for scamming her. I asked how? She said "They" said she will get a job on arrival. I asked, who are "they"? Did the school promise you automatic job? Did the visa offer promise you job as you applied for visa? As far as I know except things have changed, you can't get a visa unless you provide believable proof of fund for your complete program. I asked where is her POF, she answered by asking me how many students come to Canada with their POF and saying it is all make believe.

If God forbid, she ends up not getting a job and runs out of money, she will end up on the street. Life will become harder for her. She might not graduate and that means no post graduate work permit and no status to remain in Canada and the whole thing will become a waste. The only thing she can do if it happens is to bash Canada as she has started doing. She can open a thread on nairaland about how Canada is rubbish, overrated and how Nigeria is better than Canada. But even at that, it will not remove one single strand of hair from the Canadian government "Blokos". This is just one example, there are many I have met of late in this category

I'm not discouraging or trying to scare anyone but I'm trying to make people understand reality to avoid a bigger problem. I have heard people say if you survive in naija, you can survive in any condition anywhere else. That may not be true for someone who comes into a new country as an international student without money, YOU GO SUFFER oooo.

Finally, whatever you do, DO NOT JOKE WITH YOUR POF and DO NOT RELY ON GETTING A JOB TO FUND PART OF YOUR EXPENSES.

Goodluck to all aspiring students and may God grant you all your heart desires. Amen

Nice said boss

Keep up your good job

bullstriker:
There is no fixed amount for the proof of funds, as it depends on other factors like duration of studies and sponsorship. For example, if you are sponsoring yourself, you must have the tuition fees and living expenses for the duration of your program OR show funds for one year and a reliable source for subsequent years. On the other hand, if you are using a sponsor, you can show just the cost of education for one year, regardless of the duration of your studies. However, realistically, showing just the minimum is not recommended; it does not make sense for the sponsor to spend all the funds on your education.

In my view, it's best to calculate the cost of flight and local transportation in your intended city and be realistic. Although IRCC uses 10K for living expenses, I recommend adding a couple of thousand to the living expenses, especially if you are going to cities with high living costs like Toronto, Vancouver, etc. That way, you can present your research in your SoP.

Tuition fee/year + living expense (10K) + cost of flight and transportation in Canada = proof of funds.

Your tuition fee is 20k per year right?
ie 20k x2= 40k

Living expenses 10,000x2 = 20k

Miscellaneous 4k ( you can add more than that)

Total = $64 Cad

I hope this help stardor
