It would have been best if you waited for a decision on your visa. You can apply elsewhere without withdrawing your application.

Right now the school is right because you don't have a refusal letter. Though this is quite annoying, try to read their policy again and demonstrate with evidence that you consistently tried to reach them without response.

Maybe you can build the case using your first refusal then there might be a way to get your money back but you may need to involve a lawyer and maybe ircc sef

Kus sometimes these schools need to see crazy

Olafunds200:
If I didn’t withdraw,what else was I waiting for? did you read where I requested for deferment and I didn’t get any response from them instead they send half payment.
After then time has gone, no more admission, if I was granted the visa which admission letter will I submit..
Hope you get where the problem is now?

I would advice that you go with your infant though this is an additional cost for you.

If the decision is primarily because of hometies then Your husband is sufficient home ties you can also use your properties here.

ifeoluwadayofun:
Pls helpers in the house kindly attend to this question as it slowing the submission of my application.

I received a fully funded scholarship in Canada and I have a peculiar case that need your guide. I have an infant to leave behind as one of my home/family ties, I and my husband agreed to keep the baby with my immediate elder sister for my maximum concentration.
Please can this raise a concern to the visa officer?

It is not advisable

It will subject you to alot of scrutiny at the point of entry and can even result in you getting visitors status depending on the immigration officers mood.

Hold on to about 6 to 8 weeks before your program starts

Ysakaws1:
In a situation whereby the only option left is to defer to Feb 23, can I still travel by August and explain at the port of entry that I already booked my ticket before being notified that the program is full and I had to defer? Then I also prove with the funds I will be taking with me that I don’t intend to work before the resumption day. Please remember that going August is going about 6 months prior to resumption day. Gurus in the house, please reply!

Its best to hold on and really appeal for a space this session. Write to the admissions office and graduate chair or top people responsible for your course

Its not easy to change school from Nigeria.
If there is a way you can get into Canada then do the change that would work.

Ysakaws1:
So my passport has been stamped and received. Then it’s time to secure a seat for my program, PGD Network Security, and UWinnipeg is telling me the program is full and I will be waitlisted or should defer to the next intake. Next intake for my program is February 23. Me that my soul and body is already in Canada like this. Why will I now still wait till almost March next year before moving?? Been racking my head for a solution since, but can’t come up with any. Is it possible to get another program, or even another school for FALL this year, then update IRCC?? Is there still hope for me this year like this?

Hahahajajaja

LadyBlaq:
I reject this in Jesus name, Amen! Holybrabrabarabaraba! *Speaks in tongue and pours holy water on my application*

Anyway, you quoted the wrong person.

Its the airline

lentomac:
Wow, tot it's the airline that do ask of this Letter, never knew Nigerian Immigration officers ask for it.

Ok ma, noted!!! thanks for the response

Yes please ask your school to give you an enrollment letter. They are asking for it at the Nigerian airport. (Airline Check in desk)

lentomac:
What about an applicant with LOA, Tuition receipt and Co-op letter, is it likely they ask for Enrollment letter

This is for a Fall 2021 applicant that intends travelling in July

Enrollment is evidence that you are registered in courses for the semester. In this case now its spring summer or fall semester

Jeff5gold:
Sorry but what do you mean by enrolment

My 3 day quarantine costs $1071 Cad. It can be more expensive or cheaper depending on the hotel you book and availability

elenewton1:
Thank you so much for the detailed post and especially regarding the enrollment letter stuff. This will serve us as a guide.
Please I would like to ask that what was the cost like for the 3 days hotel quarantine. This is to enable us have an idea in order to plan better ahead.
Wishing you too the very best ahead.
Many thanks

LANDING GIST

Nigeria to Toronto Canada
Airline: Lufthansa and Air Canada

Important thing to note: Carry your fav snacks in your hand luggage, you may not like the food at all. They served vegetarian pasta on both flights

*Checkin -Nigeria*
Study permit
Flight ticket
Arrive can
3 day hotel booking
Enrollment letter (heard they won't let you checkin without it even though its not a requirement on the Canadian govt website.)

*Frankfurt*
No document asked
They just reprinted my boarding pass and that was it

*Toronto*
Letter of acceptance
Tuition payment
I was not asked anything about enrollment in Toronto. So it means its the Nigerian airport carrying it on their head for whatever reason.

My flight landed Toronto around Noon on the 14th. The airport was very quick. Went through the customs border and immigration in less than 15 minutes.

*Questions asked*
Name of school
Why I chose my school
Who is sponsoring me
They asked if I would be paying my sponsor back .. I said no and they asked why .. I said because she's my senior sister and that's how family supports each other. The officer asked me where my sponsor works and then issued my study permit.

I thankGod for a seamless process. I am also happy I used Lufthansa. The flight was not full at all and it wa very comfortable like some people had a whole 4 seats to sleep on.

I was wondering why Nigeria is particular about enrollment and I think the best way to get around that especially if you have taken semesters before is to simply email CBSA to ask if enrollment is a requirement for travel then maybe print their response and take it with you to the airport.
Spring and summer is a known holiday for students so I don't know why they are particular about it. Most students and even Canadians don't take classes this period. They go to the beach and chill. Some companies even close to observe the holiday.

Wishing everyone good luck

Based on my knowledgeits best you get into Canada before you change schools. If you change it before you travel,there is some news about having to do a fresh application

I would advice that you start with your current school get into Canada then start the process of changing schools.

I guess people that have successfully changed schools during this Covid19 period can also comment.

Teeprecious:
Thankful for this explanation.
I for instance already made a tuition deposit to my DLI but intend to switch career path and may be going to a totally different DLI. I have done my due diligence and have a school in mind. I have however been worried with the issue of this confirmation of enrolment and I had wondered how best to tackle it since I can't enrol for courses I do not intend to take.
Thanks again for the information.

Yes you are right

It is really dependent on the officer or airline and they change it all the time. Today they ask for enrollment.. tomorrow they don't. It can be really confusing.

Meanwhile at the port of entry a coursemate said she was only asked to prove that she had been attending classes in the previous semester. All she did was show assignment group chats on WhatsApp

I had to call CBSA to ask alot of questions but its like the Nigerian end is getting mixed instructions.

So if you are travelling just prepare well and hope to meet a considerate officer at the Nigerian end kus thats where the work seems to be now

I ended up signing up for spring term because really its just 4 to 6 wks ..After the term I can rest and miss this back and forth.

Studying online with 7hr time difference was an experience.. I dont want to experience again abeg.

Frankrobbn1:
I'm very meticulous and always think conscientiously before advising anyone on this platform as many of my suggestions are been put to good use by a large number of people here including passive readers. More importantly, I know quite a number of persons who boarded their flight from Murtala Muhammed International Airport and never declared a "Confirmation of Enrollment letter". I will have to say that it boils down to the airline or immigration officer whom the traveller met at the airport. Also, it might be a requirement for students that have commenced their studies online.


It will end in praise

Awww
Wish it was 13th

oyibo4real:
Awwn, same Lufthansa but 12th May, wish it's same date
PS: I couldnt make it travelling today as planned, I literally ran mad two days struggling to meet up with lectures, assignments and travel plans. Mehn!!! The reality hit me badly aswear
@Kayyyyyy how far, is yours still 12th and Lufthansa?

Please is anyone travelling 13th of May
Luftansa/aircanada to Toronto. I'm looking for a travel buddy

Please avoid telling lies or using agents you don't know very well while processing your study permit... it has ended in tears for many people oh

Its like they are dashing 5 years ban upandan

Its best you use a dollar card even if its one of those online ones like barter or flutterwave them to make your payment.

Dont put your application in the hands of someone that has nothing to lose oh... abeg don't allow someone's stupidity to scatter your life plan. 5 years ban no be joke

Also while Canada seems like the land of honey please don't even attempt to go to school if your sole purpose is to just use school to move

SCHOOL is tough.. i just did one semester ehnn and mehn its not child's play but its an amazing experience. The time difference alone for online study almost made me quit, I was usually asking myself..who sent me message oh .. but the growth kai.. amazing

also remember you can finish school in Canada now and get a great job in another country. Keep your mind and options open

Wishing everyone success in their endeavours.

Good evening

Please is any planning to travel on the 13th with lufthansa

Please for those that have landed

Is it possible to do your quarantine in a province thats different from where your school is?

Can we use airbnb for the remaining 11 days quarantine?

Eg .. school is in manitoba but you do your full 14 days quarantine in Toronto because you have a support network there that can sort food and medications etc

Also because you are not attending courses this summer and have free accommodation for the holiday

I was informed by my university international students study abroad center that it is not adviceable to travel without being enrolled in courses.

Some people were issued 1.5months study permit at the point of entry because of this and now have to apply for study permit extensions

Make sure you check with your school before you travel so you don't find yourself in this stress.

You can use formA with flywire. Click the international bank transfer option

badmanjo:
My people, please those that have paid school fees to Humber College Toronto, which of their options did you use and what was the exchange rate. Fly wire is too expensive abeg

Yes,it is
You can apply for provincial nomination or even get it from provinces that select from the pool once your skill set is in demand there

BaesDiary:
Your response is very detailed and very appreciated. We checked with band 8 and CRS score came out as 456.... At this point, I dont know if the EE route is still a better option.

This will not really work out well
Its best you focus on PR if your purpose is to relocate without going to school.
When you go via the student route you have to enroll in your courses and meet the minimum student requirements.
You can read the thread for more information
Wishing you all the best

Goodevening all.
I am sonia by name, a graduate of educational psychology/guidance and counseling with CGPA of 3.39. I got an adminsion last year with the help of an agent and i got a refusal from VO stating that she is not convinced with my aim of traveling to Canada via the course i applied for, insufficient statement of account and purpose of study. The agent i worked didn't guide me properly on how to go about my Canadian traveling Journey. My adminsion with Regina university has expired. Please I want reapply for another program and i need a proper guide on how to go about from my adminsion stage to my visa application stage cause i do not want to go through agent anymore. Please can my CGPA get me a master's program? If yes can anyone recommend affordable university? My aim is to use the school process to relocate to Canada though I will further my Education but not immediately. So for this reason i want university that won't required me to make a deposit of my school fees while in my country.

You can collect it from the headoffice of your test centre. Courier takes 5 to 7 days

recxa:
Hey guys. So I got that NSE letter and I was able to get a 7.5 overall in IELTS after 4 days of preparation lol. The problem now is that I haven't gotten the Test Results Form(certificate). Do I go to the place I wrote it to request for it, or I wait for the courier to bring it? cuz I need to submit the results ASAP. Thanks.

This happened to me
Check your details something is incorrect
Mine was my passport number
You must fill everything they way you submitted to them when you booked the exam

Longjonjoe:
No drop down menu

Check MOD and if you are in lagos select yaba as your test center

TeeMade:
