debbydee:
Hello.
Good morning. But I read that if your class of degree is low you should go for a diploma program. Especially 2yr program if your intention is to remain.
Most pgd/pgc program I see are one year program. Can you please shed more light.
Thanks Hi Debbydee, If you have a low class or finished with a 2.2 or 3rd class, you can go still go for PGD/PGC, the issue there is, most PGC are one year program and if you forage your program search they are still PGD with 2years study duration. |

elllalistic: That's exactly the same reason reason I am considering diploma. Although I have a 2.1. But most pgc and pgd courses I saw are one year program. I want to know if this will put me in trouble.
Since you have 2.1 why not consider MSc, going for a diploma program will make VO to question your purpose of visit. Well, wait for our gurus to throw more light. |

elllalistic: Good morning Please I want to ask if it's possible for a graduate to go for a diploma program.
Can that lead to disqualification? With what I’ve learnt here, going for a diploma program as a graduate doesn’t show Academic progression. So, PGD/PGC/MSc is your best bet. 1 Like |

Maypearl: Thank you Legacy for this detailed explanation. But I’ve been cracking my head to understand what payment I make for Abuja vfs. I did my biometrics in Abuja. Do I still send my passport through dhl or I take it to Abuja vfs myself? Are payments to be made to vfs and dhl separately?
Thank you
Congratulations to you!!! Since you did your Biometrics in Abuja you don’t need to pay transmission fee if you are sending your passport there for stamping. You can only send your passport through DHL,UPS or other courier partner no walk-in for now. |

Thanks alot for your response. as regards medicals, it is written on my application profile that I do not need medicals and interview and that they would let me know if it changes.
Pls, I wanted to ask to if medicals could be waived for some applications?
Thanks I will advice you to go for your Upfront medical asap. Medical is required for study permit application so there’s nothing like waived medical. |

MuskElon: Hi, please I need some help with my brother's application.
He got an original passport request letter on February 7, proceeded to submit the passport and other documents through VFS Abuja on February 11 and on the 14th, it was under process at the IRCC office. By February 24 it was under process at the Canada Visa office.
He called the vfs helpline and he was told his passport is still at the Canada embassy in Abuja. After sending several mails to the embassy in Abuja, he was told a decision has not been made on the application which contradicts what was on the passport request letter.
The passport was returned to him on March 14 without the visa stamp or even an instruction on what to do, he has checked his GCkey several times and there's no update or request for any document, the Nairobi visa office has also been emailed without any response. Please, what can he do? This one go far oooo, I hope your brother didn’t submit any false documents when he submits his visa apppication e.g Bank statement coz I heard IRCC do a final check on the documents submitted before stamping a passport. 1 Like |

under eligiblity - you application is in progress,we would send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility.
my questions are, do I need to send a mail as regards the processing time ? 2. does it truly mean that since Jan 18th they havent finished background check talkless of starting eligibility review? 3. or they may have gone beyond that level and not update the profile?
pls, what can I do as my school resumes May, 2022.

Hmmmm i beg to differ i used my gtb visa card a few times and it was 3cad charge per withdrawal in fact if u use another bank canadian card on another banks atm it is 3$ charge i had to travel back to nigeria to withdraw my almost 6k dollars from gtb last year becos of these charges. Go to the atm and try it am speaking from experience bro in canada on a student account u cant withdraw cash from an atm more than 500 dollars except u do online transactions and that is a maximum of 1k even using a canadian bank atm except you call the bank to increase you money for that day due to a purchase you want to make Well you might be right about GTBANK coz I don’t know much about them. But for FirstBank ooo. $VisaGold card is $1k a day limit for ATM and 3$ withdrawal charges, POS & WEB are free and the limit is $6k, while First $VisaDebit card is also $1k with 1.5$ withdrawal charges (POS & WEB) are also free too. What am trying to buttress out is, if you deposit $10k to any of those account, the charges you needed to withdraw everything outside the country is just 30$ & 15$ respectively which still make sense to me rather than carry cash. Like I said earlier not everybody get that nerve to change and carry that kind of money for traveling. 2 Likes |

skull4eva: See on every withdrawal you are charged 3cad and the maximum you can withdraw on the atm per day is 500 cad cash and 1k cad online purchase on debit card. Now imagine paying 3cad on every withdrawal you are losing money which is hard to make here. I will advice u change the money to usd and travel with it. You can travel with as much as 10k usd once decleared. If not make it 9k900usd and dont declear nothing will happen becos you havent broken any law. In fact i travelled with around that amount and took it to bureau the change here and converted it to cad and deposited in my account. Its very simple. You can decide to change in bank too just that the price is slightly lower with few cents This is not entirely true boss, POS and WEB payment with visa card are actually free no charges, while ATM withdrawal charge attract 1.5$ and the limit is 1k$ per day. I get your point about the charges involved but not everyone get that nerve to travel with that kind of money. 1 Like |

I want to open a dollar account so I can get dollars to travel? How wise is this? It a very wise decision as you still have the time to process everything. Open a Dorm acct, get a Visa card with the account, source for dollar with that 3.5-4M and and deposit it to the Dorm. 2 Likes |

You cant get PTA except you book return ticket. And if you open a dorm account you cant transfer the money from dorm account to canadian account easily if dat is even possible. Aside that the bank will ask you to fund the dorm account from the black market in fact they will call the aboki to come meet you in the bank themselves lols In addition with what you just said, I think the best is to just open a Dorm acct get a Visa card, fund the account with USD as you can easily withdraw it when you get to Canada and saved it to your Canada account, thou there’s a daily limit and charges to every withdrawal. 1 Like |

ShowYoung: Good Morning Gurus,
I want to ask if it's okay for me to apply based on my proof of funds.
My tuition fee is $17,593. I have paid $9,288 as tuition deposit. I believe the remaining tuition remains $8000+.
Now, I want to apply with #7 million Naira in my account. Is this amount enough as a self sponsor?
Another question, My birth certificate is missing, I have been using court declaration of age affidavit since 13 years. I want to get declaration from National Population Commission but they are saying I need to wait for 2 weeks. Is it necessary that I submit the one from NPC? Of what use is the NPC declaration of age in the application?
Kindly assist with these questions. For your POF, Our gurus will throw more light on that. To me NPC Attestation of Birth letter is more official. thou, I stand to be corrected. If you reside in Lagos, I can connect you with someone @NPC surulere and you will get it in 4working days. 1 Like |

After 9 hours on hair, we landed in Canada, disembarked from the flight and proceeded to the hall, I generated a receipt, a lady directed me to where I declared my belonging and luggage. A receipt was also generated, waited on a queue and I was gloriously called.
