1) What evidences do you have to show a VO that your sponsor will not defect in sponsoring your education? Legal, picture, etc evidences.
2) It should not as long as you explain that gap in your SOP.
3) Either choice is up to you. I would suggest you need not do medicals until you are asked to. #MoneyandUncertaintyWise
4) This is also up to you. Not too sure which route is faster now but neither would affect a VO's decision on your application.

I hope this helps.

Omodollyp:
PLEASE guys, please I desperately need your advise on these issues

1) my sponsor is not a family member
2) I've been unemployed for a year without any income but I've been under going a fashion designing course with a certificate to prove it; hope these wont affect my chances of been approved.
3) which is more resonable; to do medicals before submitting my application or to wait for the immigration office to call for medicals.
4) is it reasonable yo submit my application through VAC or myself?


I will really appreciate responses . please

All i can say is 'hopefully someone would help'.

Daarey:
Someone in Canada should please help me with my gcms note, I was refused last week based on "purpose of visit" and "current employment situation" after showing them a reference letter from my uncle's company, stating that I've been working with them since 2012, no payslip or employment letter was added though.
I really need this gcms note so that I can refire soon, my admission has been deferred to January 2017

Bros, please where is your Faith, Hard-work and Determination? You need to do your best possible in presenting a solid application and not worry about the negative outcome.

Besides there is a guy that got 'visa' with his PGC/PGD at University of Fraser Valley (which is similar to your case) few months ago, so no worries.

Give it your best shot!

I have not seen someone given Visa (Student) without medicals. If it is Open Work Permit, then it is possible to get Visa without medicals.

They should qualify since they are paid job. Those titles are somewhat not specific. So i would suggest you put the job title of those training instead of 'Graduate Trainee'. For ex, 'Accountant' if it was Graduate Trainee in Accounting.

GrandCommander:


Thanks cos the way they put is is confusing. They have already told us even before registering that volunteer work is not acceptable. With wat u said, are "Graduate Trainee" job titles ok to add e.g. Management Trainee or Trainee engineer as part of the work experience.

They basically mean work not paid for, like volunteer work and 'some' kind of training you did to get licensed/qualified for a profession. It typically relates to those applying under Federal Skilled Trades Program.

GrandCommander:
Dear all, when filling out ur application for express entry, in the work experience section, they said do not enter work related to or performed during an apprenticeship process. What do they mean by this

Bimpsy99:
Sorry about that. Not sure of why they did that but I it maybe because you got exemptions and they can see from the number of courses in your transcript. Your Bsc accounting should be sufficient to claim points but you may not be able to claim two or more certificates. You may inquire from WES and get their basis.

It is possible to get a PGD admission but Visa from Nigeria is an issue for PDG currently. Also, i guess age factor may be considered in issuing you a Study Visa. So my candid advice would be that you look for a PNP to help boost your chances for PR.

Travel / Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by Gymme(m): 8:36pm On Sep 27, 2016
Since it is stated in the remarks, i'm not sure it would be considered an equivalent Canadian degree. You could email WES to inquire if they allow such after evaluation.

Officially, GCMS notes are requested from https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/requesterInformation.

The challenge is you need someone's address in Canada to apply and it is CAD $5.

Hi guys,

I come in here once in a while to check the forum and majorly search for members that need help with info about Concordia University of Edmonton or Edmonton as a whole. I have been reading recently and it is sad to see folks are really being refused on per second billing these days.

I want to believe there are still gurus here, even though I can't see the likes of Femmy, Oga Siga, Britiko, Playpays that were here in 2013.

Above all, it is not of him that runneth nor of him that willeth, but of God that showeth mercy. The God-factor is still the priority!

I wish you all the best. Canada is a good place to be, do not give up the struggle yet.

Be encouraged!

Personally, Canada Express Entry would be a route for you with little or no stress.

I'm just gonna talk about UNBC cos that is where i graduated and from your write up, i guess you wanna specialize in Finance (same specialty too). Your chances are high if you could convince a Prof to supervise you.
In this case, the only Finance Supervisor i know is Reza Chowdhury. You can find his email on the school's website and email him about your RESEARCH INTEREST. Convincely make him know how ready and determined you are to work with him.
Above all, if you have a strong CGPA in your last 2 years during your undergraduate, you will scale through the first stage of the admission process. Then, your application will go through a committee that includes all potential supervisor. This is where each supervisor chooses the student they want and recommend them to school.

Hello guys. please i need useful info as regards studying in canada. I wish to study at memorial university or UNBC.

Please can anyone help me know my chances of securing admissions at these two universities. I also have a research proposal and would want to study Msc in Business administration (theses route). I heard securing admission at MUN is quite tough, i feel i can learn more abt both schools on here.

I was actually pointing out part time hours that qualify for full time and not about before or after qualification work experience.

IRCC rejected a friend's PR application because they counted his work experience from after he graduated here in Canada. He thought since he started the job while as a student, that should count as work experience but they said no, the work experience should start counting AFTER school.

So i would also say that post qualification (whether part time or full time) is what IRCC recognizes.

Nickoko:
@Gymme. Are you saying part-time job before qualification counts or part-time job after qualification? Are you saying if somebody graduated last year from a part-time program in nigeria university though he has been working for the past 6years whilst schooling, he will he get 6years or 1 year working experience for canada express entry?To the best of my knowledge cic only consider post qualification working experience wheather part-time or full time.



Travel / Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by Gymme(m): 3:33pm On Sep 14, 2016
I still doubt if our part time job in Nigeria is really part time and not full time sef. This is because i believe we work up to or more than 30 hours per week AS part time in Nigeria which is equivalent to full time in Canada.

In essence, if one's part time job is up to or more than 30 hours weekly, then it is full time equivalent.

dupyshoo:
That's not correct. Part-time work experiences during studies outside Canada count. The only issue is that a year part-time work will not count as a full year. You will need the numbers of hours per week to calculate the number of months you actually worked.

Your ages would give the same point (as at now) so i would suggest the person with a higher number of work experience could apply. Also, since you are in the accounting field, i think you should have an upper edge. Your IELTS results too must be strong enough to boost your points.

An updated employment letter could actually be re-issued but not sure of his company's situation. So he should just use his old employment letter if he is still in the current job position. If it is a recommendation letter, he should get a new one.

michV:
bro i don't understand you and i don't think you understood @Mikymiko's post you commented on,if he started working in April and his employment letter was dated April,i see no reason updating the employment letter again in his re-application.if it were introductory letter or payslips,i would say certainly that an update is needed or if he got a new employement,i would say while the old employment remains to cover the gaps, the new employment surfaces with the current date if he got one though.
@Mikymiko u are saying true talk, but clarify me incase i'm lost in the game
Travel / Re: Travelling To Canada Part 11 by Gymme(m): 7:37pm On Sep 13, 2016
Haba nah! You guys should just make this matter lay low. Ok, i am heading the accounting department here and i applied for the job (as part time) with my BSc Accounting degree obtained from Great Ife (Lol). That was while i was still a student here but after defending my thesis, my boss immediately tied me down with a full time position and benefits.

This is not the case for every international student here so it is a matter of God's grace and favour. Self-determination and hard-work is no joke too. I know the jobs i did in the past and i know how i have carried my 'always updating' (Lol) resume around downtown to submit to companies, knowing the fact that some of the Admin Assistants (Secretary) would throw my resume in the trash bin immediately i turned back (i later got a job in one of those accounting firms and they didn't even remember me). So all fingers are not equal.

"No tyranny of circumstances can permanently imprison a determined will". So just don't give up is the key.

shinarambo1:

Read my last post again..but slowly this time, and kindly point out where I posted a gloomy picture..I even used myself as an example. I pointed out a trend, but that flew over your head. I overcame the challenges and several many Nigerians like me. We all have high level of education and experience from world class companies from different part of the world. I even mentioned that slydog's uncle (a former halliburton staff) working as a security guard today doesn't mean he won't eventually get into his profession just like his sister-in-law did. Note I came in when you even need at least a masters degree to qualify for residency, so Canada did not give PR's to dullards or people that don't know how to tailor resumes to Canadian standards.

Fact still remains that you have an idea of how things work in the US, but no so much about Canada. What you have are hearsays. You do not live here as an Immigrant neither are you a foreign born Canadian. Your sister(hearsay) living here does not qualify you as a subject expert in this case. I do not class myself as Mr know it all, but I have first hand experience. I have been on interview panels. I have mentored people. I have helped Nigerians from the US migrate here successfully (last was a doctor with MPH from Harvard Uni). I have helped people transit easily from world class co-operations like pwc and GE in Nigeria to good jobs in Canada. My advise is so that people may know the difficulty they may encounter in breaking into the job market; therefore, to come prepared. This would be my last post on here. I have got important stuffs to do than going back and forth with arguments. I still respect your opinion. Thanks and have a nice day! wink

If i were a VO, i would ask my self 'Does this guy still work with the company since the last letter? What would cost him to get another updated letter? Or why is he this desperate to re-apply without a new employment letter?'

You could use the same letter but i'm not sure it's gonna cost much (money and stress) to get another one. Remember, you are giving this re-application your best shot (no more flimsy reason for denial from them). So why not play safer!

1. I have 'personally' not seen anywhere that a Canadian Visa holder needs to enter Canada within a specified period of time after getting the Visa. Maybe someone else has.

2. My simple advice is come to Canada to renew your passport and Visa (that is if you will be in Canada at least 6 months before your passport and Visa expires, just to be on a safe side). The stress of re-applying for the Visa (TRV) in Nigeria can't be compared to the stress of renewing your passport in Ottawa and the ease of extending your Visa in Canada.

1) my visa and passport expires in 2018, i need to extend my study visa because my course is two years. Can i renew my passport before travelling in 2017? will i have to apply for a new visa? or can i just travel renew my passport in canada and apply for study extention
