Q-Life Medicals takes time b4 uploading the results to cic but IOM did the next day and I think that’s why it’s quite expensive. Mine was on Tuesday 23

Just had the smoothest POE experience. I wasn't asked any questions or whatsoever just directed to a counter where the lady requested my passport and excused her self came back after a few seconds and handed me my study/work permit. To all trv hopefuls I wish you the very best and I'll still be present here to offer my advises et all to those who need it. Cheers!

Frankrobbn1:


Thanks for the compliments. As per your question and afore bolded, It's an indication of positive feedback from IRCC, you should be looking forward to receiving another BVL since it's a new application followed by a passport request.

Frankrobbn1:


Review of eligibility will begin immediately you receive the BVL notification. When your eligibility review starts it will state - We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility

This info is wrong. Before my 1st application in April, I renewed my passport which was meant to expire in August 2020 at Abuja HQs. It's only renewable at Abuja once it's not up 6months to date of expiration.

Finestlex:


Oh yeah ? Not sure how it works in Naija but When i got my 3yrs Post grad work permit. I had two years on my passport.. i contacted Nigerian embassy in Ottawa, wrote a letter and they cancelled my passport without prejudice and issued me a new passport.

I don't think grammatical error is an issue please

House, the refusal came again 2nd time. First time was personal assets and financial status but now they say it's "purpose of visit"
Yesterday I mentioned a few monikers that got this bvl same time as mine came in, today I can see two out of those monikers coming to say they have been refused this evening just as I got mine this evening too.
All same reason "purpose of visit"
I can almost conclude that it was same VO that dished was in charged. Him just de bomb people email and Cic account with same reasons.
If these people have limits of people they give visa to per a period, they should just say rather than letting us go through stress and keep paying application fee.
Anyway, I will other for the gcms again, defer admission and refire again.
@Franck please my dear, can I have a one on one? Just want to ask one question please.
Thanks.

Finestlex:
why put yourself in this situation knowing your passport is gonna expire soon when you could have easily renewed

Finestlex:


You wanna write a book ? A page is perfect

Jadezion:


Ow do I order one and how long before I get it

makano:
I will advise you submit the new one if you have it already, as we all know when u renew ur Old passport to a new one, the immigration officer stamps on the Old passport making it not Valid again(INVALID), meaning even if you submit the Old passport ur Visa cant be stamped on it cos its no more valid. But the new one will have the Passport number of the Old one on it. So I will advise you submit the new one, this shouldn't be an Issue at all.. But if you are still not convinced then u can submit both but I still insist submitting just the new one is enough.. Peace

If you have a new passport ready at the point of PPR, then send in the Old and New Passport.
Most countries wouldn't even affix a visa on a passport that has less than a 6 months validity.
The new passport would have the old passport's number stated in it also. Hence it shouldn't be an issue.

Good day to all the knowledgeable persons who are making out time to share their knowledge with newbies and applicants in quest for Canadian study permit.

I'm very optimistic about my reapplication for Sept 2019 because I tackled the VO's concern but I have a little challenge, fam.

My passport will expire by Jan 2020 and I'm wondering if I should send a new passport alongside my old passport that I used for reapplication once PPR drops because my intent is to travel by Jan 2020??

I'm asking because student visa can't be valid for more than the stipulated expiration date on a passport.

Hope to hear from everyone who have a first-hand knowledge on this.

Amen to your prayer. Did you apply via Online or Paper route?

abusmanlouis:

Just relax. They will update when the time comes

abusmanlouis:

if the school has given you an option for deferral for the next two intake, you have no fear.

TheAfrikan:


Goodevening,

I'll like to correct the bolded, a co-op permit means you'll have a semester or so (depending on the institution or course) where you will need to work as part of your program requirements (a good example is the SIWES program done in Nigeria), it is only applicable during that term and not during your normal school hours (that remains 20hrs per week during school hours and 40hrs during scheduled breaks).

Every other thing seems in other.

Hope this helps?

Thank you.

Hello guys, I will like to get something clear, please what happens if a miss to pay tuition fee and they sent an email that they have withdrawn the admission? Note: visa application is still on.

Please anyone with such experience or an idea of what to do?

chisongozi:


Fo the bolded above, any particular reason. Does it guarantee study visa approval?
