In Prince Edward island: PEI slow down it's PNP due to housing shortage in the province..only in demand occupations are now drawn..

Alberta In Alberta some programs in the PNP has been paused due to shortage of allocation, Alberta demanded for extra allocation from the federal government,which was denied

Manitoba skill workers in Manitoba are protesting against the new government for changes that didn't favor the majority including discriminations, longer waiting time for nominations and invitation to apply,at the moment no occupation specific draws, including international students stream!! PNP is messed up in Manitoba at the moment due to funding,incompetence and shortage of staffs!!
And Lack of processing nominations even the new incompetent government returned 2000 allocation / slots to the federal for Saskatchewan to use..


British Columbia There was a protest in British Columbia/Vancouver few weeks back by international students majority in master's programs, some updated guidelines in PNP didn't favor them.

You might be correct.
I was supposed to submit Study Permit application yesterday for my wife who got an admission to study a 1 yr Diploma as. a Disability Support Worker, Saskatchewan Polytechnic for August 2024.
With this new policy on getting a mandatory attestation letter from the province attached else the application would be returned, how long do one wait for this? Cos I already googled and made other enquiries and it seem not to be available yet. Anybody with useful information would greatly be appreciated by me and others to learn from.
Thanks a lot

Please, I need your advice.

Good morning house, please I need the advice of the gurus on this thread. My visa application has been approved and I have received my stamped passport. However, I listed my partner as one of my home ties, I even included pictures of us from 2019 till date, stating that I would come back after my study to get married.

Now, he wants us to get married before I leave in April 2024.

1) If we get married in April, do I need to inform IRCC of the change in my marital status and most importantly, would that not raise concerns?

2) Is there a duration people need to be married for before they can apply for SOWP? If I have to get married, I would want him to join me, maybe after six months or a year.

Please I need advice.

Hello when you sent the updates POF, was it same amount in your account in your initial application that was in the updated POF? Or you had increased the funds in the POF?

Major reason I'm asking.

If at the time of application, you had enough funds for your studies going by the exchange rate at the time.. But after submitting your application, exchange rate has gone way up making the funds in your POF insufficient.

What should one do in this case? They have currently not asked for an updated POF though. Just asking so I can prepare.

Finally, Nairaland is back.

PPR dn drop, finally guys!
It dropped 30 minutes after my deferral request to was approved. 😂

Timeline:
Submitted application on October 18
Upfront medicals and biometrics had earlier been captured in my 1st application (This is my second application)
No update or progress whatsoever on my dashboard until Dec 18, when I received PPR. Till now, eligibility is still in progress as with background check. Lol

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.

First application was self-sponsored, and the refusal was due to insufficient funds even though 70% sch fees was paid, 10k GIC, and 5m for other small stuff.

I applied for gcsm note but didn't get any so I reapplied.

For the second application, here are the documents I submitted:
1. Passport Data Page
2. Affidavit of Return
3. Certificate of State of Origin
4. Police Character Certificate
5. Certificate of Birth
6. E-medical information Sheet (Upfront medicals)
7. Statement of Purpose
8. Academic/Professional resume
9. Letter of Introduction
10. Professional certifications
11. Property ownership (land and a car)
12. Full tuition confirmation receipt
13. 10k GIC certificate
14. Mybank statement
15. Pension Reg Certificate
16. Pension Statement
17. Contract Agreements
18. Employment Letters
18. Payslips
19. Tax Clearance certificate
20. Acceptance Letter
21. Nysc Certificate
22. Degree Cert
23. Statement of results
24. Students transcript
25. Waec cert and testimonial

Hi bro can you add me to the NBCC WhatsApp group

Is there anyone who has a similar case and what is the best option for a case like this? I came to Europe in 2021 with a study visa for a bachelor's degree in management. My program is supposed to last for three years, and my original plan was to graduate by February 2024. However, I decided to take a year off from school to work. Currently, I have no intention of completing my studies as I have been accepted into a one-year program at a Canadian school, which is relevant to my business back home as well.

My question is how do I justify my stay in Europe for a Canadian visa, even though I have a valid residence card that allows me to apply from here? The issue is how can I explain why I am in Europe to obtain a Canadian study visa. Can anyone provide advice on the best approach for situations like this? Has anyone applied for a visa outside of Nigeria with a similar case like mine?
