Please I need a review on Camosun college for Civil Engineering Technology , Also with the diploma certificate and Bsc from Nigeria,can I go for Masters later?
Fanshawe seems to be a long process to apply. The agent I contacted from the school list said I should pay $300.

Did you try ApplyBoard.com? I noticed it was mentioned to you.
You might get a free Fanshawe Application on Applyboard. Check it out

shinaxurdick:
Pls guys.. is there anyone that has applied and paid through “applyboard” .. i want to confirm if their payment rate if is straight CAD or USD.. please this is urgent.

Applyboard charges the application fee of college/universities in Canadian dollars.
Before the reduction of Nigerian bank cards to $20, i notice a 100 CAD application fee was about N39k in Naira when i used a Naira master card. Nigerians can’t use that method of payment anymore.

My journey and efforts to study abroad started in 2013 but I would fast forward it to 2015.
I tried several times to secure admission but no success until 2018 when I got admission in Seneca college.

First Application study visa submitted on 4 February 2019 through an agent but was refused 4 April 2019. Reason: Purpose of visit
Second Application study visa submitted April 18 2019, refused 25 May 2019. Reason: Purpose, Asset and TH.
Third Application - Visitor visa through an agent again. Submitted September 24, 2019. Refused 25 October 2019. Reason: No genuine business purpose.
Fourth Application through another agent- visit. Submitted 10 December 2019. After 2 months of submission I called for withdrawal due to the fact that the agent was not sincere.
I thereafter contacted Mr Frank who used his expertise to get me admission for Master program.
Fifth Application study visa submitted 24 August 2020 but was refused 24 September 2020. Reasons: Purpose, Asset, Ties and TH.
Sixth Application study visa submitted on 11 September 2021 but refused 27 October 2021. Reasons: Asset and Ties. At this point, I became frustrated and tired. But God just sent Makano to me and everything changed. He first of all calmed me down and encouraged me. He even gave me an instance of an applicant on this forum with similar experience of several refusals. After his consolation, Makano sacrificed and put in his best, with very affordable, I repeat very affordable fee for my Seventh application. Makano requested for my previous GCMS notes and after he studied them, he told me that once I provided him the documents he would request for, my next application would be approved. I just yinmu that what was this one saying, Lol. He also ordered me to pay full one year tuition. In fact en, that Makano is a wizard, I remembered one of my company clients (a diplomat) from one European country offered recommendation letter in addition to my application. Makano demanded for letterhead from the European Embassy if truly the diplomat wanted to assist. Well, his well packaged application was submitted on 11 January 2022 and PPR came 5 May 2022.

Congratulations again.
Truly you were determined. @makano God bless you and more wisdom

Riababe:
I got an additional medical examination request from IRCC today. I called QLife, they said I needed to do sputum and culture test.

1. Please what is culture test?
2. Does this make IRCC stop reviewing my application even though my eligibility reads "we are reviewing whether you meet eligibility requirements..."?
3. Must I wait for about 2 months to get the result of the test?
I need your advise good people.

Sputum test- samples will be collected over 3 days
Culture test- lab work on the sample that last 8 weeks
Yes you have to wait for the 2 months
No idea on No 2 question but i suspect, it would go on till your med results come in

Belle110:
Hey guys, it’s PPR time, I woke up to it by 7:00am today and I was told to check for an update on my application, lol, I kept breathing hard to the part that says my final application has been approved. Then I started shouting.
Funny enough, the first gcms note I’ll ever order is meant to come in by Saturday this week.

Docs submitted at first when I submitted my application:

LOA
Uncle letter of financial support
His UK bank documents 4 months
Passport photograph
International passport data page
My bank statements 4 months
IMM FORMS

Another document sent later and added on through Abuja on 1st of March
- Mpower loan document

Other documents sent letter and added by Abuja on 28th of March
- Employment letter
- IMM 5257b_1
- Letter of explanation

Because I never submitted optional documents, and as the name implies, it was optional, until I saw a post here that says it doesn’t hurt to submit them, I rushed to submit them because it can push your application further.

I needed to add new financial information to the IMM1294 form and correct would accompany you tick boxes on the IMM5646 form. These were updated IMM documents and I wanted it added to my application.

The MP requested for an update on my application from Ircc on the 9th of April and helped to pass the documents across plus proof of enrolment of courses for May.

I submitted documents again through Abuja and it was added on 3rd of May, like 2-3 days ago.
- my uncles British passport/ a citizen
- Another letter of explanation explaining funds/money/sponsorship
- Some chats we had, screenshots
- School transcripts and degree certificate
- Nysc certificate
- My CV
- His business card, he owns and Co runs his law firm in the uk
- My birth certificate

Application timeline:
- submitted January 15
- Biometrics added in January 18
- Upfront medicals and updated to pass on February 22, 2022
- Eligibility review started on ending of march or 1st of April thereabout
- On 9th of April, MP confirmed to me that Ircc told the office that Medicals and criminality has passed and eligibility is still in review.

I really appreciate the information I got on the platform, it made me wiser and strategical.

I didn’t submit a lot of docs cause I believe it’s not by submitting a lot, but the genuinity of each doc and the proof it serves.

Special shout out to Teemenzo, Nina, bucky for always answering my questions!!! I can’t wait for your pprs……… guysssss… can’t wait!

Huge congratulations. Nice to see a regular moniker celebrate their PPR.

hesjay:
It’s PPR!!!

Do share what was done differently in this application to help others

The land will favour you massively in Jesus name. Amen

Inyas2015:
Is it possible to to apply for pgd/pgc after the 1 year in U1?

While I’m studying in U1 can I work (20hrs) as a student

U1 is year 1 of 4 year BSC, so you would need to graduate before you can apply for Pgd/Pgc. Which would be at the end of 4years.

Yes you work 20 hrs like students are allowed to.

Inyas2015:
[/b]This is the University1, one agent preach to me that and he said my visa will be ready in 4 months also I won’t pay any fees not until when I landed in Canada and I can always work when studying cuz he said it came with pgwp [[b]

Tho I will pay visa fee, application fee and biometrics and other fee which make up to 350k and when admission is out I will 150k their own service fee…

The bolded is correct. University1 is their direct first year for most of their 4 year Bsc programs.

manuel04:
Hello everyone, could anyone please specify the names of the IMM forms that is required to be filled for the student visa application? Thanks

Please check page 1 of this thread.
Also while answering the questionaire on the GCKEY, the forms you need will pop up.
I believe its 3 forms basically. Go backwards on the thread for people who got visa, they have it listed.

Barzoid:
Hello everyone, I'm new to this thread and I would be taking The SSCE EXAMS this year.
Please I want to know the requirements for a full scholarship to universities in Canada and what scores I should aim for in the SSCE exams

While scholarships are not guaranteed, full scholarships is even rarer for Undergraduate studies in Canada.
With up to 4 or 5 A1s in your WAEC, you can get some form of scholarships in some universities ( Uni of Manitoba) for example. It is not guaranteed please note my words.

DuBLINGreenb:
How can I confirm/verify my admission. I got undergrad admission to University of Manitoba. An agent did the application and admission process for me.
And I’m about to commit huge sums of money so I’d like to confirm the legitimacy of the admission before going forward.

1)Your student ID number should be on the letter. Use it to set up the UMnetID(highlighted on the photo added). If it goes through, then you know you have your student portal as an admitted student where you eventually register for courses.

2) If its University 1(Undergraduate) program, it is usually an unconditional offer, which means tuition deposit is not demanded. You can pay a tuition deposit to strengthen your proof of funds.

With Uni of Manitoba, agents cant do much after the admission is given, they have to accept the offer on your behalf to download the Letter of Admission the agent has given to you.

You can access a lot of info online. Use this link to read up about Next steps.

All the best.

Hello everyone.

Pls I need assistance on how to compress 142 pages of bank statements without losing much quality. After scanning the documents, the size is 12mb which is not acceptable.

Goodafternoon house .please can someone help with SOP to enable me properly prepare my own..please ..its kinda urgent.thanks

I saved this whole content while going through the thread from page 1.(Apologies, I can’t remember who put it together to give credit to).
It should be helpful. You can also google SOPs.

SOP (STATEMENT of PURPOSE) with detailed breakdowns and areas to address

https://www.nairaland.com/6321900/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/523#100849022


As a first time applicant, you are to write a STATEMENT OF PURPOSE (SOP)

SOP - Statement of Purpose
The theme SOP is geared more towards the first time visa applicants. In this case, the applicant will more likely talk about how the advance studies is going to complement past academics and how it will brighten up the future career scope. In addition, various other topics will be addressed such as capability to finance studies & living cost, why particular program, why Canada, why particular institution etc.

Dear Positiveme2020
Please go ahead and submit so the processing of your application can begin.

Med Request we have seen on the thread mostly happen after 2month- 3months after submission of application so doing an upfront has kind of saved you time.

Positiveme2020:
Goodday sir , please I have a question about medical.
I had medical appointment but on the process had to undergo sputum test that requires 8 weeks for the results to be out.My concern now is should I go ahead and submit my application since all document are ready. And as you know the statements of account , sponsor's letter of financial support , and other documents are all dated. This is supposed to be an upfront medical. Please what's the best way to go about it. Thanks

Please is there a way an admin can help remove this personal details (admission letter) for this moniker? Its possible he or she has gone offline after posting this., because several people have made the comment to edit, yet its still here hours after.

@Sayd… all you need for visa is on page 1 of the thread, please check it.

sayd3246:

Love your humour. Try other universities and colleges for next intake.

Frankrobbn1:
I regret to hear that your study visa was refused, how were you able to establish your ties and personal financial establishment in your last application. Did you include documents like, property documents, proof of source of income from employment/business etc.

The visa officer wants to be reasonably convinced that you possess strong holdings in your home country that is possible to compel your return home after studies. [/b] From experience, this is one of the easiest refusal reason if you submit additional information/documents that will demonstrate the fact that you've true intentions of seeking a Canadian study permit. [b]



It will end in praise

Hello Mr Frankrobbn1 , with regards to the bolded, could youexplain that? How does submitting additional supporting documents to boost your application lead to a refusal? Are these documents submitted with the application or uploaded after via webforms?

Or i read it wrongly.

Kindly clarify the house sir

Hehhehe. I am a she .

Please what’s ilac?

Like Sir Frankrobbin1 answered before, english requirement is waived for Nigerians in most schools in Canada. To know if a particular school requires it, you have to check their website site.(check general admission requirements and course requirements.

All the best

Rahkman:
thank you sir what about ilac is it advisable I apply other diploma courses there ? Is ielts mandatory there?

Though IELTS is waived for Nigerians, University of Manitoba does not offer Diploma in Practical Nursing unless that’s change in the last 1month
Check their website.

Rahkman:
do I need ielts to apply for diploma in practical nursing to university of manitoba

Thank God for a smooth journey.
May the land favour you on all sides.

Thanks to everyone on this platform for making this journey a reality, all informations shared are truly appreciated.


LAGOS TO CALGARY

I flew KLM on the 20th with stopover at Amsterdam. Flight was for 10pm.

Countryhard099:
Good afternoon everyone. Pls I got admitted to the university of Regina and the agent my dad that’s contracted to do this from the start asked me what course I want and I said medicine. But when admission came out this is what I saw.
The confusion right now is he said I should write SOP but right now I’m confused on what to write SOP on if I’m writing it on Premed or kinesiology and health studies.
I finished secondary school last year and I’m 20 yrs old

Congratulations on your admission.
To study Medicine in Canada, you have to do a 4 year BSc program before medical school. That is what you have been admitted into.

You will write your SOP on Pre Med.
Kinesiology n Health is the faculty under which your course falls under.

To help you with some content for your SOP, please go to the University website, and read up on your course and course contents. It will help you paint a good picture of what you are going for.

All the best.

Omiinii:
Good day guys, I had to settle to write this because I started my journey here and will finally end it here as well. I recently received my passport request on 21/04/2022.

Congratulations. We rejoice with you. Enjoy the land of Canada

It is well boss.
We are waiting for yours. Its coming

Teemenzo:
Some are here but are staying silent. It is well.

Congratulations in advance.

Interesting how fast applications are processed in some other countries.

Motun260:
Good evening to all the gurus in the house.
May all our prayers be answered in Jesus Name.

I got medical request today from IRCC for myself and two kids (age 6Yrs and 2 Yrs)

Application Submission Date (online Submission - New Portal) 01/04/2022
Biometric Date - 08/04/2022
Medical Request Today - 21/04/200.

I reside in South Africa and have got S/A I.D.
I forgot to add that am a Nigeria but residing in S/A since 2012 but do travels to Nigeria once in a while.

Ayomide5651:
Good evening everyone. I’m new on here. I just secured admission into Cape Breton University. Please what are the next things to do. All response would be appreciated, thanks in advance

Congratulations on your admission.
If your offer letter needs you to pay a tuition deposit, to secure your admission then that would be the next steps to take otherwise, it would be to submit a student permit application to IRCC. All what you need to achieve that can be found on page1 of this thread.

Please do go through so you are acquainted with the documents you need to back up your application.

Also reading the first 10 pages would give you more insight on how to package your application yourself if you are not engaging the services of an agent.

All the best.

Sir Teemenzo,
Congrats to them. I guess those PPRs are not for people in this house, i have only seen one here today.
PPRs should rain here too.

Teemenzo:
Sorry about this, IRCC answered a lot of people today most of whom are November and December applicants

Please do. I saw this off their website. Check highlighted section.

All the best in your decision.

BenedictStinson:
I guess I'll just write to Applyboard and see if there's any clarification. Connestoga was my first choice but I decided to try Fanshawe as they seemed to be a cheaper two year option. With this there isn't any significant difference in the fees and Connestoga allows a regular laptop for the course unlike Fanshawe which would require me purchasing an Apple laptop.
Thanks a lot for your help

If i am correct, fees are paid for coop term also.

Best to write Applyboard, they will write Fanshawe about your questions and reply to you.

Also, i believe you would have received a welcome email from Fanshawe with contact details and students support staff info included? You could also verify via that angle.

BenedictStinson:
Yes very grateful for linking me up to them. I have gone through the tution breakdown and it adds up to the 24700 on their website. It seems in the letter they just multiplied semester fees by four ignoring the fact that the fourth semester is supposed to be Co-Op work term

Nice to know Applyboard came through with Fanshawe admission for you like i mentioned last week.

With regards to this tuition difference, please go back to Fanshawe website, don’t just looked at the quoted tuition, click on it to show a drop down of the fees, you will see a breakdown amount that includes some other fees and a final total.

I noticed same when my ward got her Fanshawe admission.
Do double check the website. It might clear out the worries,

if you are not satisfied, wrote a [/b]note under your Fanshawe admission on applyboard, stating your concerns, they will look into it and revert to you.

2) I believe the tuition deposit is good to apply for visa with( please read their refund policy before paying full tuition if you decide to do so.

BenedictStinson:
Good morning all, just received my offer letter from Fanshawe college for "Mobile Application Development" two year graduate certificate. I applied through Applyboard.
My question is this: on their website total tution is listed as [b]24731cad while on the offer letter it's 34911.24cad it's a Co-op course with 3 semesters and then the final work term. I don't know if they just multiplied the semester fees by four when sending the offer letter. Please I would like to know if anyone here has a similar issue
2) I'm to pay a tution deposit of 9211cad by 19May. Is it possible to just pay the full fees amount (to aid visa chances) or do I have to first pay the deposit before paying full fees?

No you don’t. The ticket number on the MBS printout gives access for the VisaOfficer to view your transactions for the period(months) you chose in the statement.

Racewinner:
Help Please

when using mybankstatements receipt with the ticket number, do I still need to attach a normal bank statement that is showing account activities?

Thanks

Huge Congratulations. May the land favour you
Let this good news go round all expecting.


[quote author=Davidbanky post=112142697]PPR ALERT

I want to Thank God for giving me the strength to carry on after multiple rejection and someone here on Nairaland, who has been extremely helpful to me not giving up after those 2 rejections.

After one year of back to back application rejection, I was finally given visa.
