Good morning everyone, please I’m having issues with booking appointment for my biometrics online, can I just go to their office without an appointment? Answer needed urgently please

They will bounce you without an appointment. Simply retry and ensure you book before going there so you won't be embarrassed.

Step 3 – Provide Assiniboine Community College with proof of IRCC’s decision regarding your study permit application
by OCTOBER 1, 2022. Your application will be cancelled if we do not hear from you by this date.

As stated in my acceptance letter...

I want to renew my international passport before applying for study permit...pls Do you think I can still meet up with the October Deadline?

Thnks

This should have been sorted before applying for admission, however, since the zeal to Japa no get room for delay you can go ahead to apply.

Note that you will not be given a study permit beyond your int'l passport validity.
You can apply with your current passport, renew it and forward the renewed copy to IRCC via mail/webform once you obtain it (this is if you're able to obtain the renewed copy within 3months which is the average application review timeline)

Good luck

Hello Gurus,
Please help my sister.

"Please I need help in making a decision, I have 2 offers 1 from Seneca College and one from Centennial College..

Seneca is a bit cheaper but it says 8 months on their letter. Centinneial says 1 year minimum.
I'm just wondering which one will give me an edge for study permit"

The choice is solely dependent on you.

An 8 months to 1yr program will qualify you for 1yr pgwp.

A semester is usually within 4months so two semesters is 8months

Check your finances and decide the option that is best for you

Good luck

Its Ppr people ���
3rd attempt, 40yrs Old Lady�
Thank you Awesome God
Long post alert.

I am one person that never wants to leave Nigeria cause of the issues and racism abroad. But that changed when Buhari declared to run for 2nd term in 2018. I was livid and knew he will win and the decay n destruction going on post 2015 will be worst�

My fear was for my children, is this the environment i want them to flourish in?
So 2018 i began with wes runs,did ietls 2018 ,2019 got into the EE pool with a low score,2019 I pushed my husband to write ietls while his wes runs was completed.

Still we didn't make high scores, so i channelled my quest to pnp, got ita twice from Saskatchewan pnp, and twice the relative that gave me the sponsorship in Saskatchewan declined.

So back to ground zero, 2020 i went for another ietls while 7month pregnant �, i received gbas,gbos, chai, then Corona lock down.

Ending 2020 i began searching for schools and applied to different colleges, cos i had 2.2 undergrad and and MBA so i felt getting direct master was impossible�

2021 got my admission from centennial college to read project management.

1st app july 16 refused In September or so
2nd app Nov refused jan 20th
This 2 app i used Centennial admission, and Gcms notes on both occasions stated lower degree from what i currently have in masters and no job prospects in home country.

After the 1st refusal i started looking for schools for masters.The process was very very daunting, i applied to Royal road Bc and Crandall University NB

Crandall came through for me(Master in Org Management)
3rd App 1st May ppr July 25th 2022�

My patience was tested on this journey, i have already started plan b moves to Uk, that by Jan i will be on my way out,as i have 3 Admissions from uk schools in the bag for me.

Documents submitted in all 3 applications are as follows

Passport page
School certificates
Transcript
Embassy reference from my organisation
Birth certificate for me ,husband n my 3kids
National population cert for the whole family
Landed Documents
Power of attorney of my mums property
Certificate of return
Finacial docs (using mybankstatement)
LOA
Passport photo
Cv
Family photos

I had my dear friend and colleague who was with me guiding and pushing me from the get go,MO you are the MVP
I got inputs from Gms writers justmellow
Frank did a great work on my application.

Its not a journey truly for the faint hearted, perseverance is needed and eyes on the ball always,never mind what it takes especially monetery wise.
All those expecting or applying push push until u receive yours, God will crown all our efforts in Jesus name.

Where are my fellow Crandall Students
Though had to defer to May 23 as slots for September is full already.
Thank you for Nairaland Family �

Big congratulations

jogojogo:
Upfront medical results already forwarded by IOM since on 18th of July, 2022, yet to be updated on GCKEY.
Three webforms already sent, uploading the e Medicals without response. Do I write the clinic again or just face IRCC?

Just be patient. My medicals was done in June and it was update just last week.

The 3 months application review timeline as stated on IRCC website must be for a reason.

Good luck.

teebullion1:
Please when applying as a family, is it possible to book for medicals separately i.e. can PA do an upfrom medical whille accompanying spouse wait for medical request or must the family book and do the medical at the same time

You can choose to do your medicals upfront or wait for the request letter from IRCC.

Booking as a family or as self applicant does not have a special effect because each one of you will be cross examined separately and your results sent to IRCC separately. Your results will not be on one e-medical sheet as a family.

BenedictStinson:
Omo this country which way, even Flywire don give up

This option has been unavailable for a longtime now so it's really not new.

At the moment you can't make transfers on your own from your Naira account to beneficiaries abroad, western union/money gram and the likes stopped outflows several months ago.

Your options are via form A, USD debit card / USD prepaid card / USD virtual card (you will buy @ black market rate to fund your account/card) or you know someone abroad who can pay on your behalf.

Good luck.

Faworaj:
Oh my God,its ppr this monday morning.

Second time applicant.

I am super happy.

I will update you guys shortly with my timeline

Congratulations �

[quote author=Zubi85 post=115060050][/quote]Anyone can sponsor you, however, you will have to prove to ircc beyond doubt that he/she will actually fulfil their pledge to you.

Family members are easier to prove cos of same surname, Parents/Siblings would have been your financial support at some point and would not find it difficult to still support you again, family pics together etc and also because of the assumption that they would not leave you unfunded.

If you can prove that the non-family member has ever assisted you financially in the past, he/she is willing to fund you and reason for their decision, you have a good relationship with the individual etc then by all means you can proceed with the person as your sponsor.

Good luck.

Thank you boss

jokunle:
Hi , please what are the medical requirements for Canada while applying for student visa

If you mean the documents required, they are your international passport, request letter from IRCC (no need for this if you're going for upfront medicals), your appointment letter from IOM or QLife and your payment receipt printout.

If you mean the Tests that will be done, check the screen shot

praise9:
Happy Sunday Everyone ♥️.. Pls is it compulsory to pay part of tuition fee before applying for study permit?

People pay tuition deposits for two reasons;

•If it's required by the school
•To show IRCC that there's availability of funds to pay your fees and support yourself generally (financial commitment).

Good luck

Fredba:
Pls I’m going for medical soon upfront Once i get it done i stiil have to upload how do i go about it?

Your results will be transmitted to IRCC by the hospital, however, you can still send your e-medical sheet to IRCC via webform/ email afterwards.

Omnisavage:
why do you say it is better to just do another 1 year program IN MY SCHOOL? is there any special incentive to that?

if I do the MSc in another school, will they still give me the 3 years PGWP?

my 1 year course is Graduate Certificate and it cost 18kCAD. I don't have another 18k for another Graduate Certificate if there is a chance to get MSc from a school that is 2 years and will not cost up to 18k CAD in total for the two years.

I didn't get admission into the MSc schools I applied to this year because I applied to top schools and I thought my 2'1 would be enough. But 5 of them rejected me. My plan is to apply to lower end schools this time around.

Please let me know what you think.

The crux of the response is that a 1yr program will qualify you for 1yr pgwp while a program of 2yrs and above will qualify you for 2 -3 yrs pgwp.
Any how you choose to go about it doesn't really matter provided the programs are run immediately after the other (you have a particular length of time to either apply for a pgwp or leave Canada). You cannot apply for a pgwp twice.

Good luck.

matthew080:
Please who knows Seneca college tuition deposit
Please help

Their tuition deposit is usually the full first semester fee.
Some schools will allow a part of the fees and expect the rest after some months while some would not require any deposit.

Leleky:
Good evening to everyone here. Please, when is the best time to start applying for admission for May 2023 intake? Thanks in anticipation of your kind response.

The best time to apply is when the intake is available to receive applications

JDB55:
Can't i just go for a PGD instead
i'm speaking based on what i can afford.

Only you can answer these questions honestly, asking here would not change anything if you get what i mean.

Masters programs are generally more expensive than post graduate diploma programs (not always)

A post graduate diploma is a shorter version of a masters program (reduced course load - target is to enhance your skills FOR BETTER JOB OFFER).

A post graduate diploma is not less than a BSC, it is a (program you take after a degree program not before). It is only a red flag if you have a masters degree and then want to go for a PGD but hey people still do that successfully cos after all PGD means post graduate, it does not define what your level of degree should be.

Just calculate your finance, make up your mind and go for it.

Good luck

Ghazali34:
I heard that AccessBank don’t process FormA for colleges.

How true is this?

Not true. It only takes time to process that's all

JDB55:
Please, i would like to know if i can apply for admission (winter intake which is January 2023), i don't know how long some schools will take to evaluate my credentials before offering me admission or i should just leave it and apply for either Spring 2023 or Fall 2023.

Your advise please.

There is no stipulated time for admission, it can take a week, 2 weeks or even a month depending on the school you apply to and your documents.
You have 5months from now till January to get your admission and process your visa.
Processing these two past your admission date is not something you should be worried about because you can always defer your admission to a later intake.
Your worry should be having enough documents to successfully process your visa. Admission is not really much of a hassle especially for PGD programs.

Goodluck.

sheyi69:
Yooo

I've been largely a lurker here but I garnered enough information to do it myself.
I just got my PPR on my 3ed attempt.
Timeline:

1st Application: October 10 2020, very lame application. Was overconfident after applying to the US and UK myself without rejections. Didn't do my homework properly. Had 3 grounds for rejection including:
- Poor relationship with sponsor (Uncle without the same last name)
- Unreasonable study plan
- Purpose of visit


2nd Application: May 28 2021. Mitigated all but one of the officer's concerns. The officer had concerns that my sponsor's (mum) account had lump deposits. To be honest, they don't understand how a typical business person in Nigeria runs their account.

3rd Application: February 18 2022. Decided to leave no stone unturned. Paid the rest of the tuition and purchased a GIC. Then a really long wait. Started to stress my MP's office, which was of immense help. Got an ADR for another medical examination on June 10th. Exactly one year after the previous medical examination expired. Medical passed June 30th. PPR this morning.

Overview of successful application:
Submitted on new portal February 18 2022
Medical request June 10th
PPR July 21st.


Can't wait to leave

Wow congratulations

Deronke1:
Oh! When did you apply?

Mine is still fresh, I applied on the July 5th.

Processing speed and PPR is my portion ijn

Deronke1:
Is this a good sign for ppr?

You're on the right track is what i'ld say.

This is the only update on mine since I applied, though I have done everything expected.

If your biometrics have been updated, your eligibility review started then you're in line to testify.

It will end in praises

Hunterzzz:
On the 21st July 2022 at 5:42am, God shown me favour......it's PPR!!!!
I'm so grateful to this platform for the encouragement and motivation.
I submitted my application on 25th February 2022, Biometrics was updated immediately (previous VV), Medical request came on the 17th May, Test was done on 28th May, Medical passed 8th June and PPR received today.
Many more PPRs to come for everyone waiting for this good news....

Congratulations is well deserved

Hafeez6948:
After 4½ months of waiting i should withdraw my application. Did you even understand a thing i wrote cuz i dont know where your response is coming from. So me am not strong willed or i dont have grace. I only implied that ppl that might get affected by the delay to have a back up plan. Even if one has faith as big as mount Everest its good practice to have a plan B in life. Nigerians have an abysmal 11.8% visa Approval rating with IRCC i didn't make that up its d stats. Plus its just an opinion.

Lol you guys should take it easy.

Her response I guess was from a place of perseverance. You will agree with me that this is a thread for Canada application and not a thread for discussion of other options. I get that you're only trying to encourage people and all, however, you will also agree with me that the only encouragement on this thread is to persevere. If you are denied, repackage and refire, at least that's what I've read so far since I joined this thread, I have not come across any comment advising people to try other options if you get what I mean.

It's good to know that you're positive and patiently waiting for your success story. It will end in praises for everyone of us.

Fredba:
Pls can u clear me on this…
I booked an appointment for medicals yesterday for 26th july im still yet to make payment which i plan to pay today, how do they confirm payment is from you?

I’m confused or you carry any proof of payment to them that day?
I already got a reference number

For IOM, upon successful booking, you will be notified the bank accounts to transfer to depending on your location. Simply make your transfer to the account 2 days to your appointment, print out the successful receipt and have it with you. Documentation will be made on your appointment day and you don't want to get there and be asked to step aside for incomplete documents or for someone to take your spot while you try to make your payment (The crowd no be here).

Documents you need: Your int'l passport (not photocopy except you want to be stressed with going to verify it)
Your IOM appointment letter
Your IRCC letter of request if its not upfront (for upfront you don't need it)
Your successful transfer receipt
Go with your biro except you want to be borrowing from others

good luck.
