On your first page, create a table of content that shows the document name and page to make it easy for whoever is reading to trace. Then merge the documents accordingly. If you can label the heading of each doc, good. And if you cant, no problem. Just make sure your table of content matches each page.

For an international student to get into welding in Alberta is very difficult if not impossible. AI summarizes the process below:

To become a welder in Alberta, you must complete a three-year apprenticeship program combining 1,560 hours of on-the-job training and 8 weeks of technical classroom instruction annually. You need a high school diploma (or to pass entrance exams), a sponsor/employer, and registration through Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training to earn your Journeyperson Certificate and optional Red Seal.

Steps to Become a Welder in Alberta
Meet Prerequisites: High school graduation (diploma, with courses like Math 20-3, English 20-2, and Science 10) is typically required. If you lack these, you can take the AIT Trade Entrance Exam.

Find a Sponsor (Apprenticeship): You must be employed by a company willing to sponsor you, which involves registering your training agreement with Apprenticeship and Industry Training (AIT).

Complete Technical Training: Over three years, you will complete 8 weeks of schooling per year at institutions such as SAIT, Red Deer Polytechnic, or Olds College.

On-the-Job Experience: You must complete 1,560 hours of paid, supervised on-the-job training each year.

Certification: After completing all three periods, you will receive an Alberta Journeyperson Certificate.

Red Seal Exam: To gain the interprovincial Red Seal endorsement, which allows you to work anywhere in Canada, you can write the exam in your final period.

Alternative Pathways
Pre-Employment Programs: If you cannot find a sponsor immediately, you can enroll in a pre-employment welding program at a college to gain foundational skills and potentially get credit for the first period of apprenticeship.

Trade Qualifier (Experienced Welders): If you have over 3 years (4,950+ hours) of experience but no certification, you may apply to challenge the certification exam through the Trade secrets Trade Qualifier program.

Hello house

Please anybody have any insight into NovaScotia Community College? (NSCC). We applied in November of last year and are still waiting on a decision 7 months later.

OralBoy:
Thank you so much for this brother, I really needed this. Especially those questions that Immigration may ask at the POE. Nobody has said anything about those even on Youtube videos that I watch.

I have a few questions if you don't mind.

1. How do we show proof of funds at the POE? Can I pay USD into my DOM account and show them there? Or print bank statements and bring along with me? My brother is my sponsor and I used his account for the POF for my Visa.

2. Should I open a GIC account instead and also use that as POF at POE?

mfonox:
Thank you. Kindly assist me with the link to raise a web form. My resumption is in January

After I had done my findings, I came to the realization that there were number of things missing in my first application, and it had failed in a number of places so I decided to bring reinforcements on the second application.

I wanna thank y'all for your contributions on this platform, all of you! Y'all have such a great community. Didn't have to ask many questions because the questions were already asked and the answers provided accordingly, all I needed to do was to read through each page.

Stardor:
Congratulations, I'm happy nairaland is finally back so we can read encouraging feedbacks like this, pls can u share details of the documents you submitted and how much was your proof of funds?

Hoelujohn:
What were the information submitted?

If you are deferring your program within 150 days, you do not have to contact IRCC

Glock22:
If you are deferring from January to April, you do not need to inform IRCC

Emmanuelvictor:
Bro you better defer. I was to resume on 8th January as well. My school even were the ones that suggested I defer if it's taking too long for IRCC to reply me.
The following week I just applied for deferment and in 3days, they granted it. So I will be resuming in April now.
It's better to be safe than sorry

mikky099:
I think you should email them... Write a strong and compassionate email, although the time frame is 10 weeks now ur application would only be 10 weeks in January.

IRCC is just locooo, to be honest, my friend applied on the 20th OCT and got PPR on the 20th NOV.
I applied on the 25th OCT eligibility started on 9th Nov, but till now nothing...

Sam2305:
Hello,


Please if one submit visa application on say Dec 30th, will the 10k rule still apply to the person or the 20k rule.


Thanks

dehiero:
Checking from your gckey account has your eligibility started?

Immacbaby:
Hi Nairaland, does it mean I'm the only one they are asking to bring the TCC? Does it mean there are no students here that submitted a TCC for their form A?
Why are my not getting a response? I know how many people that have mailed me from this platform since I came to Canada a year ago that I directed willingly. This is trying to teach me that people here are for their own personal reasons! I'm asking because I'm not in Nigeria Currently if not I would gone out to find a solution. This is teaching me a lesson in a hard way!
It is well!
