I just want to share the image below. Gone are the days when being an international student graduate almost certainly led to PR. Things have changed.

Hello,

In as much as they writer is correct, but applicant should be mindful of that fact in mind before chosing a school. Most people who studied in ontario and who did 1 year courses are moving to smaller provinces like Nova scotia, Saskatchewan and others because of easy to get PNP.

So applicants should be familiar with the PNP of location they want to go for study to know how they can navigate it after studies. It is important to know the plans provinces have for their graduates students and how easy it is after graduation to settle in that province to get your PR.

Thanks boss God bless you so much I have already send him the documents new pof and update admission letter and receipt which I did and he told me he has uploaded it.
Have asked him several times for my login which he fail to give me.. I order my Gcms note the first time refusal which I sent to him so he can work on up till now he said I should hold on that the vo might think my starting date is far since is fall.
At this point am tired

Hello,

So sorry for this. The fact remains you can't have access to your application unless the agent gives you the login details.

Now i don't know what advice to give but to ask you if for sure you're certain he submitted the application for you? Cos since you already had an application denied before, meaning you didn't do any biometrics, hence can't tell if you have an application running or long denied?

Also, it is important that if anyone must use an agent, please that agent MUST use the applicants email and the log in details must be given to the applicant. As a matter of fact, applicant should create the account, give the agent the log in details to upload all necessary documents of which afterward the applicant will take over the application check and monitor.

Any agent who doesn't agree to this term, kindly run. Going ahead with such agent is at your detriment.

DMCY:
Please how long does eligibility review take?🙏

Eligibility review last from the moment the visa officer opens your application for review to when he/she finishes. Some can be a day, some days, others weeks and months. So just pray yours don't take long.

What happens is that sometimes, eligibility review maybe concluded but not updated in the portal for some days and even weeks.

good day
Which one is advisable to submit as a source for proof of funds.
Salary or business?

Both if they are your source of proof of fund. Remember when it comes to proof of fund, please let all applicant not allow the VO to have these words pop up in his head "HOW COME" and "WHAT IF". From here, the vo draw any conclusion he/she likes. And with all this policies everywhere, please when it comes to proof of fund and its source, don't play with it. Submit all documents

Thank you

Hi everyone. I’m new to this thread. I want to pursue a msc degree in Canada. Can someone help recommend a school that’s not too expensive and little or no application fee. I really dont know how to start and proceed and I don’t want to go through agent for fear of being scammed.

Hello,

If you're going for master's program it means you have atleast second class upper, i would recommend you have the following in mind.

Since the chance of securing scholarship is high when going for MSC, look at for scholols that have lecuters doing the research that resonates with your research area and not justa cheap school. Then bombard the lectures with emails that you would like to be in their resesech team. Note is not easy to get a reply. So keep your academic resume and transcript ready and don't relent.

Then if you're asking for cheap school( that means you want to go for course based master's), have it in mind that the cheapest is memorial ( but note that it depends on the course you're going for). Some memorial university courses are around 28k for the two years. Next school in line is university of Saskatchewan. An average tuition in that school has increased to around 14k -15 ( for the 2 years program).

Lance008:
Which should I go for
Am confused
Need a low tuition

Nova Scotia community college. Fees around 11k a year for tuition and other fees. Others you have there is above 15k+ plus other fees which is around 2k

ehiremen2002:
Any suggestion for school that one can easily get admitted into Master degree in civil engineering.

The person had a 2.1

Hello ehirmen,

You shouldn't have a problem If you have secured a supervisor. That is, if the program is thesis. But if it's project/course master's, you shouldn't have a problem either so long as those with higher 2.1 and first class aren't much that applied for same course.


I don't really want to say also pray for God's grace, cos they don't really select based. The select based on pure merit. But still pray for God's grace so that you will be among the best resume that summited.

I am just so sad honestly. For 3 days now i have been trying to pay and submit my applications. I have used so many dollar cards but still TRANSACTION DECLINED . My money is in people’s account….. i don’t know what to do

Hello Guys,
Kindly help on the process of canceling a Form A transaction on the trade portal
Thank you

Hello,

Depending on the stage you're, go to your portal, at the right hand, you will see an option to click to cancel disbursement and all that.

Or you can do it the naija way, remove the money from the account. So long as the money isn't complete, the transaction will cancel when they don't see the specific amount in the account during disbursement.

olanrewajunurud:
I got my visa approved January 2023 but my school program course start by September 9th,2023 can I travel to Canada now even if my program start date 3month ahead . please I need your sincere advice

Hello,

As stated by IRCC, you can come few months (2-3) to the start of your program or you can come early if you deem so. But know that if you come way too early, the officers will ask you why you came this early, how you intend to care for yourself ( POF may be asked from you).

Now note that if your class is to start by September and you come in April, you are not legally permitted to work until yout class starts. So i hope you have a place to stay for free and foodd or you have a lot of money to take care of your self and rent and sim monthly charges if you come early. My advice, if you have place to stay for free and free food, then you can come.

But if you don't have any of that and you will be doing all payments from your pocket, please and please wait till even a month to your class resumption.

But then, the choice is all yours to make.
Congrats

Hi
Thank you for your response.
When I applied for the visitor visa, I wasn’t pregnant. I receive the visa a few months back when I was 4 months pregnant so I did not have to mention that it was for north tourism.

Oh. These are the Hospitals names that I have mentioned which will be closer to my accomadation.
Can you recommend any cheap family doc who can refer me to a gynecologist? I’m looking specifically for SE area as I have my accommodation there.

Hello,

So sorry, patients don't refer patient's to a physician. We search for clinic, get the one still accepting patients, then do walk in. Once you do walk in, the doc will now refer you to the actual gyno that will see you through. So i would recommend that you come early before your delivery date. So you can kickstart the process. You cant just walk into a clinic and get gyno to see you unless in an emergency situation. Here we have whats called family physician, he or she is the one that refers you to the physician that is responsible your case, be it pregancy, ear, teeth, etc.

Their medical system is so complex unless our own in naija. So please begin now to write to the hospital. The earlier the better.

As for cheap, i don't know any cheap one for medical tourist. Here, Canadian, PR, workers and students don't pay a dime so long you have your health card. But as a visitor, be rest assured that it can be costly. Eg, first trimester scan can cost as much as 260$

All the best

Good day everyone,

I'm 40 years old, and with some years of work experience. I'm married with 3 kids too. I want to ask a question and would be grateful if I will get explanatory responses from you professionals here.

My first application was refused on the ground that the VO was not convinced I have available financial resources. My question is, as I prepare to reapply, can use my brother as my sole sponsor while I submit his statement of account as proof of funds? Considering my age and the fact that I'm married? If yes, please could someone kindly explain to me properly how to go about it.

Please, someone with experience should kindly respond to my enquiry. Please!

Hello,

Now let me come from the age angle and your brother being your full sponsor. Some 40 year old Canadians are already grandma whose kids are already on their own. So VO judging from that angle of you using your brother as your full sponsor even when you have kids, it will make him think you're not established.

So i would suggest he be a kind of support. That is you already have your own funds and he is only supporting instead of being the full bearer of the financial burden. So please have your own fund, let him be a support.

Many a times, when a married person with kids uses a relative for full sponsorship, is not just about the school now but they will be wandering how will this person now be able to care for his/her family and how will his/her family survive when another person will pay his/her fees. Will the same person feed his or her family.

So try to boast your own account if you're an adult and married applicant with kids.

Wizardbee:
Please is not necessary to go with proof of fund (bank statement) to the POE with traveling, do they usually ask at the point of entry?

Hello,

They sometimes ask of it if you're coming way ahead before your school resumption time. Nevertheless, just print few weeks of it and have it handy. Anything can be asked by those guys at the POE.

Happygirl5:
Hello

I am currently 31 weeks pregnant and will be traveling to Calgary at 35 weeks. I’ve already secured a visitors visa and accommodation.
I plan on delivering my baby in Calgary would like some help please.

Can anyone please suggest a good cheap GP or OB/GYNAE in Calgary area? I will be living specifically in the SE area.

I’ve read almost all the posts on the other thread but most of the info has been posted 5years for Calgary. There’s a new system there that has been established for birth tourists. Any idea please?
Has anyone experienced delivering in Rockyview or South Health Campus?


Help a sister out please 🙏

Hello,

When you applied for the visit visa, were tou pregnant and didnt you inform them you're coming for birth tourist? That's by the way

Now in Canada, to secure a gyno is so hard unless referred to by family doc. Canada isnt like naija you can walk into any clinic to see doc and tou get accepted. You need to secure thr secure the services of the clinic first. So hope you have done that. I stay at Seton Rise SE, but havent heard of that clinic. So i can't help you on that. Wishing you the best.

Aystar78:
Please I’m trying to register my courses before departure by ending of this month for the University of Regina please how do I register and know the courses to register

Hello,

Kindly visit your school portal for more clarification. Also don't hesitate to write to your departmental chair or secretary for steps. It is very important.

tolyem:
Good Evening my people,

I need your clarification.

I submitted my son's study visa application with upfront medical acknowledgement sheet on Sunday 2nd of April and he did biometrics on Thursday 6th April, this evening I got a mail of Medical Report Instruction with a Medical form underneath.

Noted: I have collected the hard copy of the medical result on Thursday on his way from biometrics center.

What should we do now. And is this a positive sign?

Hello,

Kindly resubmit the E-Medical slip that was given to you. It happens sometimes that people get medical request even when they submitted upfront medical. So don't be worried. Nothing is wrong with your son's application. Congrats to him in advance.

Wilddream:
Please what are some documents they can show as proof of funds apart from bank statements?
Also please what do they mean by optional document (Additional Document)?
Should he upload his SOP in the additional document slot ?

Hello wilddream,

Proof of fund shouod shownthe following
1) account statement showing available fund in account

2) how the money was made? If my business, attach every transaction details to prove source of funds that is receiptsand waybill. If an employee, pay slips as back up proof. If rent, attach rental receipts and property proof.

Addition documents means other documents that you deemed important to your application and yes, SOP, LOE will be under it also.

Wilddream:
Good evening, my cousin is uploading his documents required for his visa and his admission letter came with a 4 page document, he wants to remove the 3 pages and upload the document page which actually contains the admission letter. The 3 others pages have the fees and others. Is it ok if he splits the document and only upload the page which has the admission letter. Page 1 has the admission letter,2-4 has fees and the address. He is upload them to the IRCC portal.
Thanks

Hello,

Please let your brother attach the admission letter as it was sent to him. The file size isn't an issue, so why does he want to remove it.

Oddyjoyce:
I also applied since January and I have not heard from them too. I feel worried... It is well though. Let's be hopeful.

Hello,

Most university of Saskatchewan admissions comes in this month of April, especially towards the ending.

babineli:
Hello Gurus,

Please I need your genuine advice and opinion on this. I initially made payment to an institution in the UK, but I couldn’t make it to the UK and my money was refunded to my account because the school asked me if I was refused visa before and I told them Yes I was refused Uk visiting visa back in 2017, that was the reason I didn’t apply for the UK visa anymore.

I didn’t apply for UK visa and the school refunded my tuition deposit of 8,000pounds to my naira account which came in as lump sum 4,130,0000. Now I want to submit my application for Canada. I already explained in my SOP that the lump sum was a returned fund from the school in initially applied to in the UK.

My question now is. Is it advisable to attach the telex copy of the initial debit to the school in my document or I should ignore. I don’t want to do anything that will implicate me.

Kindly note I also declare in my Canada application my previous visa denial as well.

Waiting for your replies

Thanks

Hello babineli,

Kindly attach the telex docs as back up to your claim that it was a refund from UK school. If there are also email conversation in line with the return of the money into your account, kindly attach that too. Sincerity in Canada visa application paves way more than bogus claims. So please back up the lumpsum with all necessary proof of refund from the institution.

All the best

JayOnoz:
Good evening everyone. Please I am new here, please i was admitted into the University of Manitoba and my visa has already been approved. I am suppose to be in Canada on the first week of May. Please I want to know if there is a need to register for my classes before arriving Canada, and if yes, please how do I go about it?
Thanks guys

Hello JayOnoz,

This particular question on how to enrol for classes should be sent to your school. They can tell you when and how you can enrol for classes. For May intake, you ought to have registered for classes by now, unless your school has different ways of doing theirs. Spring/summer class registration starts way back from February. So reach out to your school on that.

As for enrollment letter being asked at the airport and POE. yes they do ask, but it doesn't mean everyone gets asked of that. So to avoid any issue at airport or POE, kindly get your enrollment letter if your institution have opened portal for may registration.

Good afternoon nairalanders.

I already have a master degree in business education and i wish to study early childhood education in any affordable college but the length of the course v seen so far is 2yrs..

Pls is it advisable to apply for diploma course and what is my visa approval chances?

Thanks

Hello Adespecial,

As you already had a masters, i would recommend that if you must go for the early childhood education, look for a PGD atleast. Now business education and early childhood doesn't have same educational line if I'm correct, but the fact you already had bed/bsc and masters, ordinary diploma is way low. Now you the use the difference in course content and and duties, with back up resume of you working as an early childhood educator as your reasons for going for the PGD. There are many you can highlight looking at the difference between your intended course and your masters program.

But note that it can still be 100% approved if you go for a diploma. But PGD is your least best bet if you cant get an M.ed.

All the best.

dtrixna01:
Good morning all.
Please, folks that got medical request, how long did it take till you got ppr ? This is the 8th day for me.

Hello Dtrixna01,

PPR after medical request is certain but the time it will come, no one can tell. Thst it came fast for A doesn't mean it will come fast for B. So no one can't tell you categorically when it will come. All you should know since they requested for your medical, you have passed the eligibility to study in canada. Your ppr is at 99% loading. Just keep sending them update reminder mail if you choose to.

Congrats in advance.

Good evening house
I apply through agent
I got my admission around may20 2022
But couldn’t submit my application still January 30 2023 on ircc portal
So the agent said he defer my admission to may 2023
Did my biometric same January
So yesterday I got a procedural fairness letter (PFL)
The agent didn’t ask me if I was denied visa before
And I was denied visa to enter Dubai 2022 feb
And I got another sanction for loa letter not genie
And I have 7 days to reply to the message with evidence sorry do I still stand a chance??

Hello,

I am so sorry for this, but i have to be frank with you, your agent has submitted a fraudulent documentation or has misrepresented you beforr IRCC and you're about to be served a ban if you don't submit a proper explanation(s) as you why such misrepresentation.

So plesse kindly draft a convincing statement as to why such happend. Again, don't feign ignorance of that documentation cos you're the one they know and not any agent as they believe you submitted your application without an IRCC certified consultant. It will make it worst.


Now to rest of us, we will keep sounding it, you're free to use anyone for your application right from school applications to study visa submission, but please ensure the following;

1) If an agent must get you admission to a school, please,l and please discuss with him or her from the beginning to ensure your email is what is used for the application and you MUST have access to the school portal. If he or she refuses to that, PLESSE DON'T USE SUCH PERSON.

2). When you want to submit a study visa application and you want to use an agent, please also ensure that your email is what iwil be used and that all docs to be used comes from you and vetted by you. You're paying him for his for the service, so he/she is there to do what you want. So ensure all docs are all genuine before he/she hits the submit button.

As a matter of fact, please ensure you have access to your study permit portal. It is very very very important.

It is your future that is at stake. Don't put it in the hands of someone whose only concern is money he or she makes.

TrumXray:
@Bobmaigida,justwise, kindly educate more on this. Submitted First bank MBS for duration of (dec 1 to April 20) here I have 80% of the POF and 1 year MBS of GTB reaon being that there was changed in salary account due to job transitions. My concern is this, first bank is actually dec -march (4months) but in days it's not a complete 4 months. Anything to be worried about as I hv submitted the application?

Hello,

I don't see any need why you should be worried when you have 16months account statement from two commercial banks submitted. As long as your fund is ok and if any lumpsum(s) is well explained and proof of source of fund attached, you don't have anything to worry about.

Just be calm.

Aghoghomena:
Hello and good afternoon everyone,

Please, I need some clarification, my brother intend to gift me 15 million Naira for my studies. He is going to pay the amount into my account and i intend to wait till it's one month before i request for my statement of account, We intend to write a gift deed covering the 15m too. My question are as follows:

1. Does my brother still need to write a sponsorship letter?

2. On the Application form under sponsorship, will I click applicant? Or, click others and then, explain that it's me and my brother?

Lastly, please is ok to use a business name that's showinh inactive on FIRS website? Is it also OK to submit a business certificate without submitting a tax clearance certificate for that it? Though, I have seen people whose application were approved with a tax clearance certificate for their business name.

Many thanks

Hello,

1) so long as your brother is gifting you such money, he is already your sponsor and must include sponsorship documents.

2) yes, you will choose sibling/brother as your sponsor.

3) what kind of business is that and what scale of the business? For a large scale(wholesale) buying and selling business, tax is paid when goods are bought from manufacturers. So such person can include waybills and receipts. Which is also used to show money comes into that company and how it spends money. Again, being active or inactive on FIR portal don't really determine. What determines is how financially active the company is to have raised such amount of money he is gifting you and to prove if the 15million is genuinely for the purpose of your study and won't affect the company if such fund leaves the purse of the company.

So you have to prove excellently that such money is for sole purpose of study and not for demonstration purposes.

All the best

Gurus in the house, come to my rescue!
I submitted my application January 25, did biometrics on the 27th of January 2023.
Up till this very moment I haven’t received any response from IRCC, I’ve sent webform severally but no response.
My dashboard says Eligibity Review has started already, it’s 9 weeks already and no response whatsoever!
Please what else can I do?

Hello d2nn,

There is nothing you can do to facilitate or push it. Only thing you got to do is pray for positive outcome. Also continue to send webforms and email seeking for application update because sometimes when eligibility start and has stayed for long, it might be that a decision was already made but yet to be updated.

It will surely end in praises

iyerim:
Good day all, is it true that Canada does not accept fixed deposit from Micro finance bank as POF ?

Hello,

IRCC Vo's don't really regard microfinance bank and fixed deposit as authentic POF, thinking funds may not be applicants fund. Many have received denial because of that. Please if possible, liquidate the fixed deposit and put the fund in commercial bank.

Just an advice from experience.

All the best.

Hello Everyone,

if by chance you need CAD in exchange for Naira, I have up to CAD$1500 for disposal.
