You will need a Transit visa for the Lufthansa Airline, but No Transit visa for the Ethiopian Airline, KLM, Air France, Egypt Air depending on your bank account...Ire ooo

You will not need a transit for Lufthansa if it’s only one stop

Hi Gurus in the house, I need urgent help. I just finished uploading all forms to the Canada Online Service, but the big problem is that I can't make payment for the application fee.

There is no visible button to click and make a payment. I tried to use the IRRC portal, but they required an invitation code. How do I submit my study visa application? What is the new way to do it?

Someone should guide me on what to do.

There’s something you haven’t submitted, look at it there, “proof of upfront medical examination”

GCMS Note took 30 Days, a friend we did together took 25 days.

In my previous application, I have included some documents to show how I got to save up this money before I got them fixed in MFB.

MFBs are red flags to VOs, send the money into your normal bank account and show proof of where it’s coming from.
Also, fixed deposits are not available funds, they can be used to show where subsequent funds will come from, not funds required at the point of application. Liquidate the fixed funds into your account and show proof of the investment too, goodluck.

The person helping me with it says it's still in Nairobi and I'm begging to get bothered.

Passports are stamped in Abuja, that person probably doesn’t know what he/she is saying.

CanadaQueen:
Do you really think you need this TMI? Won't this call so much attention to your background? I was also refused UK visiting visa many times even after I have visited the UK in the past. But what I did is that, I only mentioned the recent refusals Frm diff embassies including the UK. I don't think you need to be exposing that you've been refused multiple times from the UK.
Well, that's my thoughts sha.

But you know that whether you expose yourself or not they’ll find out if they want to, very easily, your biometrics will cast you asap.
It’s better to say the truth than to lie.

Hello,
I am new here and have thoroughly reviewed almost all available information. I am about to embark on my study process and have a few questions regarding my academic pursuits. Specifically, I am currently pursuing a master's program with Noun and am unsure whether it would be advisable to proceed with a PhD or continue with another master's program. Additionally, my field of study is Communication Management and after conducting some research, I have discovered that McMaster only offers it as a part-time program, Seneca exclusively offers an online program, and the University of Ottawa is the only university that offers a full-time program, however, they are not eligible for PGWP. My question is, if I choose McMaster, would the part-time status of the program affect my visa processing? Alternatively, if I opt UOttawa what are my chances of applying for PGWP after completion of study.
Thank you

UniOttawa is not eligible for PGWP? Abi the program in UniOttawa is not eligible, which one?

Oluwaloniglory7:

Secondly, I run a test filing the study application through the account portal I used to applied for a visitor visa after input all my info and college name, UCI I used for visitor visa , Student No and school DIL then filling my spouse info, kids and parents. I was directed to attached my supporting documents but I didn’t see a client’s documents section? I mine filling a wrong application? See the attached below

Which one is client’s documents again? And then you’re not to fill that checklist

codeFalcon:


Thank you so much doc.

I am really happy my post got your attention. We have tried checking for Msc in biological sciences, but most are thesis-based and requires reaching out to a supervisor beforehand. We feel because she doesn't have good research background it might be difficult to get a supervisor(I don't know if doesn't work this way). She is young without any work experience. Academically, she is really good, Our major issue is getting a Program she can fit into without any hassle.

If you don't mind sir, can i send a mail please, thanks

You don’t need to have a good research background per say to get a supervisor, you just need the skills and the zeal to do it and you’ll be fine.
Once you can show interest and read enough papers of the potential supervisor you’ll be fine.

Adeyemo1988:
Pls help me out..I gained admission into university of Lethbridge and my uncle is the one to sponsor me hos company account is doing very well and active and am also one of his staff..the question is that d since he is the one sponsoring me ,must I have money In my account also? And what are the documents I will need to attach for a successful application? Pls no insult am new here

If you’re a matured applicant then it is assumed that you’ve had something doing since you graduated, so it is expected to have something to show for it.

Obafemi389:



I have my company paid for my tuition deposit CAD8000

Should I make them transfer me 7m for my living expenses and outstanding tuition balance with gift deed to back it up?


Or I should use the company statement direct?

Which of this two will give me better chance of approver?

Is there any ST Clair college admitted student WhatsApp group available?

Not everything is a gift deed. Your company is sponsoring you so you need a letter of sponsorship and not a gift deed. And just a letter will not fly by the visa officer please, get them to send you the balance of your first year tuition and living expenses at least, then state in their letter how they’ll pay that of the second year. Or if they can they should send the money for the two years at once.

I’m traveling on the 13th. What airline are you using and where are you flying from?

Sylvesterigna:
Hello gurus i need your help! what do you think i should do? I got admission in Northern British Columbia today i received this

Have you applied for a visa before now?

enemerci:


I have seen these complaints are coming majorly for toronto. It has been said over and over again that the city is highly competitive. In Short the bigger cities toronto and Vancouver are highly competitive and dont forget you donot have any canadian experience why not go to less competitive province. Now this is the part i cannot understand why will someone who is on a budget be looking for admission in such big cities. Will i say they failed to do thier research so inadvertently planned to fail.

Please go to cities that are not so populated and have lower cost of living so that when unforseen circumstances arise you will be able to manage the situation.

Canada is still my far better than Nigeria so don't be your own undoing

This isn’t totally true. Have you heard when students in Nova Scotia are crying? Especially the ones in CBU? It’s not rosy anywhere and it can take time to settle in, that’s why one just has to prepare for soft landing.

iwanvisityankee:
What is the current price for transmission fee, for someone who did biometrics and prefer to send passport to Abuja.

I've been seeing different prices on this thread. I checked VFS website, it's not written there.

9930 plus 990 SMS fee

Please I need help.
I did 2 different applications for interview waiver appointments.
One for my parents and one for my wife, with both submitted on the same day 7th of March 2023.
Their visas expired in 2021and we have been renewing via dropbox for many years before now.

We received the notification for an interview waiver appointment for my parents within 24 hours (8th March 2023) with an appointment date of 10th March 2023 and we have dropped off the passports since then and awaiting processing.

We expected to receive that of my wife at the same time since they were submitted together but it did not happen.
We waited for 10 days since this was the maximum stated on their website but the time has since elapsed.

We have made inquiries twice via the feedback form but the response has been generic and just says you will be sent a notification via email.
No timeframe, no context, and nothing to work with. This is now the 3rd week and no response.
Any ideas, please?

Have you tracked your wife’s passport to see if it has been issued?

damilad96:


Yes, it has.

If you still haven’t received it, you should reach out to IRCC via webform

iwanvisityankee:
Yes, it's 27th of march. Thanks for your response.

My next question is for medical, I read they do eye test, pls can you tell me about it. I have a little issue on my left eye, I can't see clearly tiny writings from a far. For bold writing I can see very well. Also my right eye is perfectly ok. So I'm using glasses as prescribed by optician to avoidd further damage.

Is glasses allowed for the test? And pls how exactly is the test being carried out.

My next question loading, lol

Carry your glasses. When you see the nurse you’ll be asked to read some letters from a certain distance, any other thing will be sorted when you’re there.

Bamz555:

Stop confusing people with ur wrong information

But he/she is correct. You will write your email and phone number on the two photocopies of your passport.

damilad96:


If this is it, It isn’t showing on my portal

Has your passport been stamped?

damilad96:


Counterfoil is a document given by IRCC after visa stamp. I’ve asked people how soon does it come, some said immediately after passport collection from VFS, some said 2weeks.
I asked a friend of mine if it’s compulsory to travel with it and she said yes, which is why I’m worried cos I haven’t received mine.

Counterfoil is the stamp on your passport, the visa stamp.
LOI is what comes after stamping, and you’ll need it at the border.

GFavor:


My DS160 was already updated. I completed it on 29th Feb. and submitted on 1st March.

Give it some days it’ll change. Maybe they’re working on your application so there’s no update for now.

heywhytech1:


I did Biometrics on March 13th
Then they sent this message on 14th
Pl

Mar 14, 2023
We sent you a message about your application
Read the message carefully and take appropriate action as necessary.

Can the message contain medical institutions?

That could be a biometrics instruction letter if you’re a first time applicant. This one that you can’t reach your agent, you have just 30 days to submit your biometrics and 9 days is gone already, so you have to find that agent by fire and by force.

heywhytech1:
I gave my application to an agent to handle it for me due to the issues of POF. He applied on February 23. I went for biometric on March 13th. Since then I have not heard anything from him. Today I just decided to check my application status through : Application Status tracker. And I discovered they sent this on 14th, meanwhile the agent is not aware. Now I can't reach him. Please what do you think this message can contain

“Due to the issues of POF”
Does this mean the agent will use a doctored statement? Because if so then you know the consequences.

But which application status tracker did you use and what did you say they sent?
Do you also have your portal login?

Codeprenuer:
Here are my questions and I will appreciate your comments.

1. For POF, Can I use a domiciliary account along with a Naira account? Like using dollar account to proof the funds in Naira account. All funds are currently in domiciliary account with solid evidence as it’s a salary account. But I want to take advantage of the black market rate and convert USD to naira, so POF in naira can be calculated with CBN rate of CAD/NG 340.
Can I use my dollar account to explain the source of funds in my Naira account? I have pay slips and bank statements of the dollar account up to 3 years!

2. I’m studying a 2-years course, tuition is $18k, must my POF cover for the entire duration or just the first year + living expenses will suffice? Please Give comments based on your experience or someone you know.

3. I’ve processed the first semester tuition using CBN form A, and this may take up to 2 months.. I plan to apply for study permit/visa afterwards.. Do you think the gap between admission offer and study permit application is not too wide?

Looking forward to comments to clear my doubts.
Thanks guys.

Isn’t this a long journey? Because now you’ll task yourself with explaining a lump sum when you could just provide the documentation you have already and prove that it’s your salary account.

Menaqiss1:
Hi house please I have a questions my visa has been approved for study visa but I no long want the school because it has no PGWP and I want to change my school but I have already bought my ticket for ending of this month and all the school I want will be resuming by September or January, what should I do please and changing my DLI do I have to pay tuition to the school I don’t want to attend before I can change my DLI and also can I go to Canada without attending class till September and work, please advise.

1. If you change your school before entering Canada then you have to apply for a new study permit. This is why we emphasize on checking if the school offers PGWP before applying.

2. You also have to be active in your current school first (attend something like one semester of lectures) before you can change DLI, and this is when you’re in Canada already.

3. You are not allowed to work until you resume classes, so no, you cannot go now and work until September. It’s not even so easy to get a job in Canada like someone here said, so people who want to go early to work don’t find it easy at all. You should be able to sort yourself out for six months at least, so it can give you ample time to find a good job and help yourself from there.

4. You cannot even be in Canada from ending March until September without attending classes. And does this mean your course starts in September? Because if so they’re most likely going to send you back from the border and ask you to return when it’s near your resumption. If you’re to resume in September just chill till July/ August before you travel to avoid wahala.

She is mid 20s nd she has work experience that’s in same progression with her program

So why undergraduate? Why not PGD or PGC?

Good afternoon all,

Please, I need your help 🙏

I am about submitting my family visa application and when I wanted paying, system says "TRANSACTION DECLINED".

I am using a UBA USD Mastercard and it's already preloaded with funds (I have a dorm account with them and paid $15 to get the card).

I'm to pay 775 Canadian dollars and my dorm account has 667 USD.


Please, what exactly is the issue and why is my transaction being declined?

Make una help me abeg 🙏🙏🙏

Your conversion is wrong
667 USD is about 892 to 895 CAD, so what you have insufficient

Bamz555:
Good morning house pls I need your advice.
My wife just got admission and we want to proceed with her visa application. sponsor is her uncle, But here are my questions;
1. Is it a good idea to apply along with her by a SOWP. (Initially we intend that she apply alone and after she gets there can apply mine, but on the other hand we thought about the cost implications doing it separately)?
2. How much do you think is ok for the sponsor to send to her acct as part of the sponsorship(as gift deed) it’s an undergraduate program fr 3yrs+ school fees is $18,100.
3. If I am to apply along side her how much do u think we should be looking at?
4. Generally pls what advice and documents do u think is needed for this adventure. We own a company and a logistics business, she has a job but the pay is not so good. No landed properties yet but a car. I need advice so we can get everything right before we start. And pls trying to book upfront medicals appointments and I’m seeing UCI number nd IME number, we don’t have these.
Everyone’s contribution is welcomed pls

Sorry, your wife is going for an undergraduate course? How old is she? And does she have an undergraduate degree prior to now?

Sweetness24:
Someone should please help with information its urgent please

Use webchat to contact VFS and request your tracking number

blueberryacres:

Sorry for the late reply,
I am confused by the samples of the SOP both on here and other places on the internet.
My main concern is the home ties section. I just graduated from secondary school, so I really don't have anything tying me home apart from family. I would have just omitted that part but most people are mentioning that it is the most important part of the entire SoP.
Anyone who can assist me with this should PLEASE contribute answers.
I would've preferred to use an agent, but a lot of people are advising me against it.
My email is in my signature.

Definitely you won’t have anything so strong to tie you home for now. Emphasize on your family and your long term goals. Relate your long terms goals to Nigeria too and you should be good.

mizchoco:
Pls, which portal did you and your friend used to apply?

Both of us used old portal

Please I need your Help !!!!!!

I submitted my application on the 6th December 2022, after reading my application over and over I noticed I made a mistake in my Background Information page where I was ask "have you be refuse visa or Order to leave Canada or deny entry to Canada or any other Country or Territory. I click No , instead of Yes . I remembered 2013, I was deny entry to South Africa due to failure to pay Hotel reservation, I was ask to go back to Nigeria pay before coming . Now I am scared of getting 5 years ban by not clicking Yes .
I send a web form explaining the mistake and filling out another form , I have resubmitted. Will that web form be considered?
What can I do now ?
Is there anything more I can do.
please I really need your help

I don’t know if they have a database with a country as far as South Africa, but you’ve done what’s best. Sending an explanation via webform.

I’d say you should send a webform again after a while (maybe a week or 2), asking if they received your original webform. If they say “yes”, then be assured they’ll consider it. If they say “no”, they’ll ask you to send it again and when you do, they’ll acknowledge it.
