While in Canada, she submitted an Outside of Canada study permit application (IMM 1294), which is acceptable. Note that this is not an in-Canada application (IMM 5709), as the VO would have cancelled the application if she applied for in-Canada study permit (IMM5709). That said, there is a difference between the in-Canada and Outside Canada applications. With an in-Canada study permit application, having a visitor visa does not make you eligible. To be eligible to apply from inside Canada as a visitor (a study permit is processed at a visa office in Canada, and the permit is mailed to your address; PPR is not required), you must meet specific criteria; one such requirement is completing a course or program prerequisite to securing a school admission to a DLI. With the outside-of-Canada study permit (IMM 1294, if using a gckey account), the application is processed at a visa office outside Canada. Once you receive your PPR, you are now allowed to submit your passport at a visa office in Ottawa if you are in Canada at the time of approval. As I mentioned earlier, this process is not an in-Canada application.

I believe the denial has nothing to do with the current location. Review the following;
Sources of the funds, especially if there are lump sums
Proof of relationship to sponsor, if applicable
Is the program relevant to her present and future career path
Program redundancy in relation to previous education

I just read through @mesh2003 posts. So the deal is not to apply with daughter. But I also noticed that all those in the same situation including @mesh2003 plan to apply for child after settling down in Canada.

My dilema is that I don't have anyone in Lagos to leave her with. I have no Nanny. She attends a Pre-school in Lagos and I pay for extended care till 6:00pm daily and I pick her after work.

So will it be advisable to apply for her immediately after getting my TRV, but before I leave for Canada, so we can go together?

JohnDuke259:


Dear halle2,

Many thanks for your contribution. I appreciate it. The source of funding is still my state government. I got it about two years ago but because I had not secured admission, I placed it in fixed deposit because of security and other reasons. Shortly after I got the offer, I liquidated it and it will be four months old at the end of the month. The account is over three years old.

Do you reckon I can do the medicals before applying or wait till I am instructed to do so by CIC?

Will hard copies of my transcript and certificate be required when I go for biometrics?

Thank you once again!

JohnDuke259:
Good morning everyone. You are doing a wonderful job here. I have learnt a lot reading through some pages on this thread. Please I need some advice/information before applying for a visa.

I have a Ph.D admission in Canada. I will get a sponsorship letter from my sponsor (state government) next week. The money in my account (equivalent to tuition and living cost for about two years) will be four months at the end of this month.

Can I make my application now or do I wait till end of the month when and get four months' SOA?

Is it advisable I take the medical examination in a designated hospital before applying or wait till I'm asked to do that? I read from CIC website that doing the medicals first makes the application faster.

Does the online application involve uploading supporting documents?

Do I need my Bachelor's and Master's degree and transcript for application?

What is the timeframe between completing an online application and biometrics?

Thank you all!

@justwise thumbs up!

kayjegs: @MMA.....chilling for my flight to the Maple land. Thanks to everyone that has been helpful here...

tofam3k3: I just got a mail from MUN that I must resume before the registration deadline of September 15th and I'm yet to get a feedback from CIC after medicals.
Is it ok to register for courses on the school portal pending CIC's response so I won't miss the deadline.

Onyeoma3:

Please who is this doctor ?
He has put the life of a lot of people at risk and has cost the government millions or billions of Naira.
Unfurtunately he is dead but i recommend a long jail term for the diplomat and survivors of acts like his.
