It is not mandatory to do upfront medical, if you chose, however, you can get it done at any time while your application is under review. Or you can wait for a medical request from IRCC.

oloyede1:
I keep seeing upfront medical.

Does it mean one can do medical before starting the visa application?

The next available date I see on the iom site is 30 June and I won’t be around in July as am travelling.

I am collating my documents so I can start my application during my travels in July

What do you advise?

When is the time to do the medicals?

Hi. This their reply ehn, even though it's not a lie, they're not exactly answering your question.
Of course if you get a job that's willing to sponsor you after your program, you may get a work permit, but how easy or straightforward is that? Plus, that is different from PGWP, which is an open work permit, and not dependent on if you get a job offer or not.
As the OP said, look for another school that's eligible for pgwp.

OneLocalMan:
Thank you very much for your kind reply this is the exact reason why i came here to get more information from other people...
So someone advise i contact OCMT directly to find out if the school offer PGWP, below is their response to my question, but upon checking IRCC website, it says their school is although DLI registered but their program is not eligible for PGWP.

is it that IRCC hasn't updated their website or just some program are not eligible for PGWP while some is, according to OCMT, they said they offer paid internship to their PG International student.

can someone break this down into what OCMT is trying to say and what is on IRCC website as well, i would really appreciate.

In his form he becomes the applicant. So fill it as though he's the one filling the form, with his own details/information

Oluwanishore:
Hello everyone, please I need the help of the gurus @ frankrobnn1 and others on this forum to kindly explain something to me.
I am planning to submit my application for my study permit alongside my family( spouse( open work permit) and son( visitor visa). After filling the questionnaire, two IMM 5645 forms were generated under the doc checklist. One for me and the other for my spouse. Filling my own form is straight forward but I am confused on how to go about the one for my spouse. Should I replicate the info on my own 5645 form in his? Or choose him as the applicant and myself as the spouse with his parents and siblings info on his own form. Please help to shed more light on this as I do not want to make a mistake. Thanks in advance

Congratulations!

mercy445:
Its really frustrating the only options it shows is debit/credit and paypal

Yes, there is, look again. You can choose to pay into their Nigerian account even (they will be displayed and sent in the booking email also), without going to their office.

mercy445:
Thank you so much for your response. We have been trying online but paying with a debit card in naira is not possible. And no option to reserve and pay at the office. Can u plsshedmore light I dont want to loose the one I am on.

Hello! I'm also interested in accommodation around conestoga

doctimi:
Yes

Congratulations! Me that thought you are already in Canada all this time

Omiinii:
Good day guys, I had to settle to write this because I started my journey here and will finally end it here as well. I recently received my passport request on 21/04/2022.

It'll end in praise for each and every one of us.

Congratulations!

iykedpetes:
Its PPR guys
The eagle has finally landed 3rd time applicant ..God has finally answered my request

Congratulations!!!!

LavishG:
I finally got my PPR!!!

I've always been a ghost reader on this space, but I have specially created an account because my PPR journey is unlike any I've read here. I applied for a student visa for the third time on 18 November 2021 after 2 refusals but this story doesn't start there. As you listen to my story may you remain blessed.

It starts before I got admission in 2020, you see I've always wanted to study in Canada after Uni, but I was waiting to garner 3years of experience first. But in January 2020 after working for a year, my plan changed...

P.S: I apologise for not posting this immediately I got my PPR, I read here about someone who got his passport returned without a stamp after submission so I waited till I got my passport back. I waited for almost 20weeks una sef suppose fit wait for one week na. I will see if I can do landing gist as well if una no mind.

Nobody can categorically answer this. Only visa officers know how they choose to handle applications. And as it's been said multiple times before, eligibility can have started in the background but not updated.

ninab:
I am curious about this process ,what is the reason they are not starting eligibility review for some people and how long on the average would one really have to wait for it ?

Whoop! Hope you've booked it already

KellyKk:
God !!!! I’m just lamenting today ooooo
Medical request at last !!!!

Thank you!
Give them till tomorrow. I would have done Lagos too, then I realized I'm not that patient

CentennialGuy:


Congrats Gift.

I should have sent my passport to Abuja o. I sent to Lagos because I thought "what's the rush?". Now VFS Lagos has not even sent any mail to acknowledged receipt or status even though DHL delivered it yesterday.

Stamped Passport has arrived (sent to abuja on the 4th, had a little hiccup, finally got delivered on Thursday the 7th. Sent back yesterday the 11th).
LOI dropped an hour or so after I received the delivery.

Gift212:
I typed and posted this thing before but anti spam bot banned me *side-eye*
A little background, I applied for a course unrelated to my previous or current work experiences. It is related to my undergraduate degree but I have a 12 year study gap… I applied to 1 school, 1 course, 1 country. Basically Put all my eggs in canada’s 1 basket.

Here’s my timeline
Submission- 3rd December, 2021
Upfront medical - 22nd of December (initially wanted to wait for medical request but I got anxious and mailed e-medical sheet on 17th of January)
Medical updated to pass 18th of January,2022
Eligibility began- 25th of January,2022
BVL and PPR- 1st of April,2022

He's been on my mind too. Teemenzo e dey come o, we must celebrate

Scott99tish:
Where’s my Teemenzo ?
Brother, Where thou


Good news is coming.

It is a good sign that eligibility passed. Hopefully, PPR drops this weekend

Olacherry:
Hello gurus and everyone in the house. I received my BVL yesterday 7th April and no other mail till now. My medical was passed on 5th of April and my GCMS shows that I passed eligibility… just curious that this is a good sign. Anxiety wants to finish me. Do I send mails to IRCC?

Does anyone have the link to a Conestoga college group for Nigerians ?

click this, search the province and school and check https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/prepare/designated-learning-institutions-list.html

LeeCodeman:


Please, do you have a list of schools with PGWP?

Lol don't be lazy to read especially if you're going to study https://www.nairaland.com/6957495/canadian-student-visa-thread-part page 1 and google has got you.

Jhabulani:


Boss, I thinking of Canada. I know I’m lazy to read from the thread. But I’m new on this platform so I don’t know how to navigate. Please what does it cost to apply for Canada student visa. How much should be in the bank statement and for how long? Will there be need for interview? And any other advice you have.

The question is open to everyone too

Relaxxxxxxx! You're asking 1 question multiple times . Take am easy o, the main stress is over (until its time to study )

Calmdancer21:
i need to book my flight ASAP
Please house help a brother those that travelled recently, is it a must that you must book a return ticket? seeing as i have a student visa and not tourism visa

No you don't. People mostly book it for PTA purposes, or want to come back for holiday

Calmdancer21:
Thank you all for what you do
Please for those that travelled recently must I book a return ticket is it compulsory??

I mean hey,you can if you want to. Nothing to lose as you said. You just may not see anything, and it takes a month to come out

Armah22:
okay then I just felt I don’t have anything to loose as sometimes one might not get eligibility and will get ppr before eligibility will show sef was just bothered

Call their nigerian office, they'll give you naira price and you pay to a GTB account. I think they have multiple naira accounts, give them a call

Calmdancer21:
Please how do i pay for my qatar airways flight my cards keeps being rejected. help a brother

It doesn't offer PGWP. Don't bother

LeeCodeman:


Please, can you share the school's contact with me?

No it's not for regular visit visa

Papapa1234:
Hello Everyone..

Sorry to derail ..

Please does anyone know if medicals is needed for Visit visa..

Thank you

That's not true. I'm older and was sponsored by my dad. This money we're talking about, does the VO sef have it in their account?
Anyway your parents can sponsor you. You just have to show relationship, prove they can afford it, the source of the funds...

Popson09:
I just got my acceptance letter from the university of Regina to study MSc statistics and I’m 30years old. Since I finished my NYSC in 2019 I haven’t gotten any office job but got myself engaged in some petty trades which isn't yielding much money. My parents are willing to sponsor my schooling abroad but someone told me I should be my sole sponsor since I'm 30 years old that the VO won't accept sponsorship by my parents. How true is this?
What do you suggest I do?

As in 4th of march 2022? Last month?
I'd say wait at least 2 months

Armah22:
Submitted my application on 4th March and did biometrics 7th March, did upfront and it was passed on 3rd April. Eligibility hasn’t started but then some don’t see it till they get ppr. does it make sense to order my notes? Just want to know Whatsup

Lol it's better to put your best foot forward, instead of submitting then scrambling to add essential documents. What are they then going to review against what you answered in the form?
Typically I'd say you should give yourself 3-4 months before resumption to submit your application.

kingxy:
Must I have my SOP and other supporting documents ready before I can submit my application or can I just fill the compulsory sections and fill up the rest later. I don't want the admission window period to close on me (Conestoga Construction mgt). I no wan go waste 100 CAD o. Any help please?

Eligibility is the main requirement used to determine if the study permit will be granted. You can search on the website to see what is done under that (review purpose of visit, funds...)
That being said if your profile eligibility hasn't begun, it doesn't exactly mean it hasn't. We have seen people whose eligibility updated the same day they got BVL and PPR

ninab:


Pls when did you submit?
Seeing this does that mean eligibility must start before ppr ?

Just page two

pixzy:

Good evening everyone.

Please I’m a bit confused filling this consent form . I’m suppose to fill page three ( CONSENT FOR INDIRECT SUBMISSION)as shown on the attached or just the page two ?

Please help a brother.

Thanks
