What's the question?

uzogbodo1988:
Good morning Naira land family.
Been following the trends till i found this one.
Please I’m in desperate need of help.
I graduated university in 2010, read mass comm, did mt masters in mass comm as well, graduated this year.
However i have been a banker for almost 10years and have experience in sales,customer service and HR.
I want to apply for a PGD in canada because its cheaper and I won’t need to get a supervisor unlike masters or phd.
Now I found university of newfoundland and college of north atlantic.
I tried to apply but could not. Because the site was asking for health care number.
Can anyone who has applied to the college of north atlantic help me?
My husband is also experienced in journalism and i would want to apply for him too.
Which ever works.
Plus has anyone applied for visa with their entire family and gotten?
Please i need advise, anything
I want to be out of here by may next year.
Biko

Going for a PGD after masters can be a red flag, however, if you can prove the reason for your decision in your SOP then you should be fine.

I'm not sure what you mean by health care/number when you're not yet in Canada to process one, you might need to wait for someone who have applied to these schools to explain that to you.

People have applied with their fam and gotten visa, however, you will need to really prove sufficient hometies since you plan to move your whole fam at once.

Good luck

Good day House, Please I need advice/suggestions on a question.
I have been having issues getting the amount of proof of funds from my side. Presently able to raise 4m for personal savings, but not able to get the rest as required by CIC.
Background: I want to apply for a PgD program but was initially denied two years ago.

My question is I want to use a family friend statement of account (not related by blood or anything) as a sponsor including my own as proof of fund.
How easy is it going to be to convince the VO that this person can sponsor me(you know how it is), or how do you think I can get to show a more liable proof of funds (the bank's percentage of 3% per month of the money you need is too much)
Epp a brother thanks.

You can use your family friend's SOA if you can prove that he/she has always been a source of support to you, the person should provide an affidavit of sponsorship and any other receipts, you could even upload pictures taken with two of you Innit to show that your friends etc.

Good luck.

Jhabulani:
Hello bosses.

Can I travel 3 month before my course. Class starts January, but I want to travel by mid October because I need the study permit to process SOWP for my wife since they aren’t attending to visit visa presently.

I think you can but you won't be able to work since your school would not resume till Jan - that's three months expenses before you are able to make any income.

Ladielarrie1:
Please Is there a number I can call?

Don't know about that sorry.

Ladielarrie1:
Good morning, is there anyway I can contact Nairobi ircc without raising webform.

Via mail nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca

inspector1:
Good morning guys, please i need your kind advise. I will like to know if it a good idea to use my family joint account as proof of fund for my visa application?

Yes you can as there's no rule on the kind of account to use. Your SOP should explain why you're using the account i.e who are the signatories, who funds the account, letter/affidavit of sponsorship from them, how are you all related, proof that you're all related etc.

Don't forget to add your own personal account if you include that your working at the moment.

Good luck.

padie77:
My Form A application is 30days old and is now in ADB disbursement reviewer stage. Pls how many days will it take to be debited? I'm using sterling bank

You're at the mercy of the bank, there is no general approved time frame for disbursal.

Good luck.

ebaymaestroo:
Thanks for the First response.

On the second one, what I am asking is that assuming I pay fully for a year program and I also do GIC of 10k or 13k cad.
Do I still have to display any proof of funds? Since I have paid everything and I have GIC as well

Sure, your GIC account, your school fees payment confirmation receipts are proof that you can support your self so you must tender them. I will also advise you attach your personal Account in Naira so you can also show that you have an active account in your home country, this could also show home ties if you get what I mean especially if your job or business is part of your home ties.

Do not leave any stone unturned, package an application that will look impossible to refuse.

Good luck

Hi!

I am trying to apply for an IT course. However I have BTech in Agricultural Engineering. But I have been working in an IT related field while in uni and post uni. I also have the BCS Cert.

Usually most Canadian schools require a prior degree in a computer science / IT related course for admission.

How can I beat this?

From my experience I think you're attempting to apply for Masters. Masters would require you to have a computer science related background, this is why I opted for a PGD instead.

If it's not a masters then try other schools apart from the one you are attempting to apply to. The Koko is to be a able to convince a VO if you're attempting to switch careers, however, I think with your working experience you have a great shot with that.

Good luck.

InfoPlz:
Thanks it's legit, so you mean I can proceed?

Sure

thanks for the reply

does embassy give visa for post secondary or undergraduate diploma?

If your intention is to study in person on campus, you will need a study permit, the program type is not a defining requirement.

InfoPlz:
Gurus in the house please help out

Your source of funds would not be the challenge here, what you would be expected to do is explain the inflow if it's not a usual inflow into your account, that's where you will need receipts to explain it's a loan. Be careful with forging receipts cause a crazy VO might want to verify it and if it's figured to be fake you know the consequences.

Good luck

Please this canada stuff is convincing me ooo

what is different from 2 years post secondary course and 2 years undergraduate diploma?

Post secondary means after secondary school studies. It could be undergrad Diploma or direct entry into an undergrad program.

This is different from post graduate which is after a degree program eg masters, PhD, postgrad diploma/certificate.

Good luck.

ucystan:
My LOA has it and I uploaded it when I applied.

I just read the letter, I initially responded based on your subsequent comment.

If you check IRCC website you would observe that the permit and fee they are referring to is for owp (open work permit), I see a lot of family applicants here mention it and the fee stated is the application fee for it.
Now the question is did you apply as a family or single applicant, if you did then you know what next to do.

ucystan:
Thanks for your reply. My school doesn't give introduction letter for co-op, they just indicated on my Proof of Acceptance that the program requires a six months internship/practicum, which I also uploaded in my application where I was asked to provide an evidence from school showing I need co-op.

Check your LOA, a part of it would normally refer to your co op, it's usually not a separate letter from.your LOA.

60x60:
Are 7 months courses or part time courses qualify for visa and work permit?

Pgwp is for programs lasting from 8 months (4 months per semester) and above. I would advise you check well before you apply.

Good luck.

ebaymaestroo:
Hello Everyone,

Please I have two questions:
1. Does Co-op have any impact on the long run (employment, pr, etc)

2. Do I need to have a sponsor or show statement of account if I gain admission for graduate certificate which is a year program and paid complete tuition fees and also do GIC for a year living expenses?

Co op counts as your work experience and this could help you land a job after studies - see it as industrial attachment like in our uni here.

You can self sponsor yourself or have someone sponsor you. Whoever the sponsorship is would need his/her bank statement showing they have the funds to sponsor you and still take care of themselves and their family.

Good luck.

Hi Johnstan, Thanks for your Response

I'll pay heed to your advice and yes the fixed Deposit will be liquidated before my Application. Since the Fixed Deposit Agreement Expires later in FEBRUARY 2023 Then I look forward to starting my Application later that same February or march Depend on when I get Acceptance Letter from the school.

But Now my Question is

1. When I start my Application later in February/March , definitely I'll be required to upload Statement of Account of at least 4-6 months . can I still go ahead to upload the Statement of Account ? Knowin fully well that all these time the money has been in F.D , And how F.D account work is that at the beginning of the Contract , the money leaves the Account then comes back with it profit at the end of the agreement or contract and for me that will happen later in February 2023 .

I'll Appreciate your Response. Thanks


Anyone can Respond to this too. I'm trying to get all information as much as I can so I don't get stranded later.

The reason for POF is to show you're financially able to support yourself through your program - school fees and Living expense.

Liquidating your fix deposit wouldn't leave you with so much to explain to IRCC on you SOP if you carry out transactions on the account from time to time, however, if you don't, now's the time to start. If you don't wish to carry out transactions on the account it's fine, you would only explain your sudden lump sum inflow as a result of the liquidation to IRCC on your SOP.

There's no rule of thumb to this, simply write a compelling SOP with receipts and you're good to go. Remember that your SOP is expected to sell your application as you wouldn't be there to do this in person so do a good job with it.

Good luck.

KellyTech007:
Hi NL , Please I have another Question. At what point does one has to make plans to sending the official Transcript to the school ( Undergraduate Transcript) ?

Also , someone said at the point of Applying for admission that it's okay to use your Student copy Transcript , can someone please help confirm ?

My current situation → I'll like to be part of the Fall Entry 2023 but I'm yet to have my Student copy Transcript and official one ( I'm working on it already)

I'll wait for responses

Thanks

When applying for your admission your school will list out their requirements, get them and apply.

There are no general application requirements, it's according to what your school requires you to provide so check their requirements and proceed.

Good luck.

KellyTech007:
Hi NL.

Please I need help to clarify something , Although I asked this before but I didn't get any Response.

Concerning POF , I have a fixed deposit Account (Joint account in my Name and Dad's Name) that will get matured later February 2023. I plan on Applying Now for an admission for the Fall Entry 2023.

Please , Is it possible to use the Fixed Deposit Account for my POF (Statement of account) ? I have the certificate of Agreement with the Bank. I'm sure if I'm to print a statement of Account for the bank later in February it will clearly state the Fixed Deposit Agreement between My dad, me and the bank . Actually the money was kept in the fixed Deposit Account for my Canada Journey. Please can the Gurus Advise me on this so I plan Ahead ?

N.B → The amount in the F.D is more than enough for my POF , Payment of my School fees and etc.

Also

I'm a fresh Graduate (2021) currently serving (NYSC) so no major work experience .

Thanks.

POF is only required for student visa application not school admission. Be careful with applying with a fixed deposit account as IRCC would assume the funds are there but not might not be readily available for you to access, some people here have been denied visa with this reason.

If you will liquidate the deposit before your visa app that's fine, however, if it would still be fixed I'll suggest you liquidate it and allow it be visible in the account to avoid the Statement I mentioned above.

It's still up to you at the end, make your choice and fire.

Good luck.

Check the website, get the compulsory documents then add any other document you fill will make your app standout along with your sop explaining your decision.

sammyfrance23:
Please what’s the solution for people going for a 1year course getting PGWP… I know it’s supposed to be a year but then I heard there’s now a room for extension for about 18months
Please how true is this?

It sure is 1yr after a 1yr program.

Saw this question on IRCC where they talked about extending pgwp, however, from my understanding it seemed like it was targeted at those whose permit were affected by the COVID lockdown and couldn't work. It didn't look like a development that has come to stay.

I might be wrong because I didn't read thoroughly so you should definitely read it up on IRCC to be certain.

GloriaBekee:
I want to know the acceptance rate of conestoga and if I need to apply to other schools also

Please I want to know the addresses of hospitals for medical at Lagos and Abuja respectively ���

Thank you �

Do you mean admission acceptance rate or visa approval rate?

Their admission from my experience took about 2-3weeks, not sure about visa approval rate and if that's even a thing i.e if visas are approved based on school of choice.

For address, check IOM and QLife centers in Lagos/Abuja, you will easily get that on Google.

Good luck.

Hello

Please concerning the Proof of funds (Bank statement) those the fund necessarily have to be in my account for 28 days or 1 month like that of UK to apply for my Candaian study permit or immediately the fund has been freezed in my account I can print the statement and submit my application online.

Also please is their a platform or group for prospective students for the university of Manitoba

Lastly how do I validate my IMMI forms after filling them of PDF, do I have to print out, sign them and scan back?

Kindly please give me a guidelines

I'm not certain about when funds should be available and for how long, however, I do know that you're to tender at least 4 - 6 months bank statement

In reference to your last question, I suppose you're using the old Portal. To validate your forms, click the validate icon on the form (I think it's at the top of the page) and it will auto validate, you don't need to print and sign them.

Good luck
