Thanks

Hello. My mother’s visa just got approved.
Submitted: May 18
Biometrics: May 20
Approved: June 7

Can anyone please give me information on passport submission at VFS Lagos. How long does stamping take? Is same day collection possible? is in person faster than DHL courier? She needs passport back before June 21.

Did she eventually dropped off? Or through DHL?

My mom and sister's visa got approved. Can they do an in person drop off their passport at VFS?

Do they need an appointment?

you want to move your family to saskatchewan a place so cold it’s basically a freezer.

the IRCC has updated its rules. they’ve closed the backdoors. trying to get a spousal work permit for a diploma program is like trying to run software on a calculator. the rules changed unless you’re doing a master’s or a professional degree like JD.

If you’re going to do this, stop acting like vibes will save you. you need a perfect explanation for why a lawyer is going to a polytechnic for a diploma. if your logic isn’t airtight, the rejection will be instant. optimize your strategy or stay where you are. your current setup is destined to crash.


a law graduate going for a diploma can look like academic regression to a visa officer, you should write a SOP, you need to explain that you aren't just downgrading to a diploma, but gaining a specialized technical skill in environment law that a university degree doesn't provide.

Everywhere in Canada is cold.

In my view, and based on the information you provided, it does not look convincing. Sincerely, it seems the applicant is not financially stable, and we do not have enough information about the sponsor’s financials. Here are some of the things that you should review

Paying the tuition deposit is proof of commitment, but what was the balance on the sponsor’s personal and business accounts after the transfer? Little or no balance will be scrutinized as the sponsor cannot use all her funds to sponsor the applicant.
What is the source of income of this sister?
Have you received financial support from your sister in the past? Bank transfer receipt will suffice
Do you have proof of the relationship, such as birth certificates, photos from a family event, etc

All the best

Elder sister have a balance of 60m in her personal account after the transfer of fund
She has been her main sponsor since mom's passed away 22years.
Birth certificate available
Pictures available

There are several transfers from both elder sister's personal account and business account to applicants account.

Does this mean applicants can't have sponsors?

Good people of God,

I need all the support and responses I can get please and thank you.

My lil sis have 2.2 in Business Education, she had initially applied for a visit visa in 2024 and was denied Jan 2025. Currently, she gained admission to study Disability Profession at Saskpoly she have some certification from Alison on this course as well. Currently, working at a clinic as part time support worker

Tuition fee :CAD 20,400
Deposit of CAD 5,300 made

Tuition Balance: CAD 15,100
Living Expenses: CAD 22,895
Misc expenses : CAD 3,000

Total : CAD 40,995 x N998 = N40,913,010 using oanda rate as of today.

Question 1) This is what we need as proof of funds, right?

She has a business and personnal account with sum of N16m Our elder sis has been catering for her since our mom passed away, she made the tuition deposit for her, and she wants to send her about N24m to her account this is going to be a lump sum but we will back it up with letter and affidavit (deed of gift), reason is we don't want the VO to think she doesn't have access to the fund.

My elder sister will also be providing her personnal and business account which will show how the payment was made to her account

Question 2) Does all of these looking convincing?

Question 3) Are upfront medical still required for study permit?

Question 4) Does she need to use GCKEY for study permit or she can use the new portal she used when she applied for visit visa?

Question 5) Study permit and Coop work permit, how do we apply for this together?

Reason for last rejection - Financial grounds - No enough funds on her own. Then it was elder's sister account mainly.


Home tie -

a) Business in Nigeria, - CAC, proof of invoice, tax clearance
b) Her current part time job, career advancement after completion of school
c) In charge of Mom's house
d) Fiance in Nigeria
e) Father in Nigeria
f) Siblings, Nephews
g) providing affidavit of return

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I recently applied for TRV (visit visa) to Canada. Here is my timeline.

August 14 - Application submitted
August 21 - Biometric Instruction Letter received
August 26 - Biometrics completed in Abuja
September 4 - Passport request letter received
September 25 - Appointment booked to submit passport in Lagos

For background, I visited Canada in August 2019 and July 2022. I have a US visa that expired in March 2024. I am assuming the application was processed via CAN+.

Cheers.

Can you please share the documents you submitted please.

Does Visit visa required Criminal Record Check?

There's a dedicated TEF/TCF thread to get you started:
https://www.nairaland.com/4672912/all-tef-candidates-canada-immigration
You can also find the phone numbers of some tutors which I usually advise beginners to get.
It is possible to self-study but a good tutor provides critical structure and will help you save some time.

You may also download Busuu and Duolingo to get your feet wet and introduce you to french sounds and simple words.

Thank you

People of God, please I tried to get into the pool, but I was told I am eligible, I calculated the CRS before starting I had 428
please what should I do?

My people please I want to learn French how do I go about it please

Howyeh:
Hey mama.
So sorry you had to go through restitching and all, you' be fine.
As for the HBP, am almost always on the low side, so I don't know about it, but adequate rest may be all you need to be fine.
Hope you have a good support system ?
Make sure you feed well, take your drugs, & rest as much as you can.
God be with you and the new born.

Thank you

Hi mama
Please register at the Cardiology clinic to begin treatment.
It's nothing to be afraid for and will most likely ease back before you know it but you can't just leave it.
Rest well
Eat healthy
Exercise
And monitor your bp daily

Don't be afraid
High blood pressure isn't a death sentence, it's a symptom that something is off so fix the thing and you'd be good.🥰

Thank you

Hello mamas

Please has anyone experienced high blood pressure after delivery, my baby will be 3months tomorrow. Now, I am getting worried and its weighing me down. At the sight of BP monitor I get extremely scared.

Some people say there is pregnancy induce but its goes after 6weeks of delivery. I went through some trauma after delivery because my tear was lose I had to go back to the hospital like twice to be done again.
These whole thing is driving me crazy.

God please come through for me

My people,

A friend got her PPR yesterday but her son's status is showing final decision but no PPR or BVL.

Should she email IRCC or her PPR covers for both of us?

Birth Story........

My first pregnancy I was induced at 40weeks. So, I told myself l want to fall into labour with this second pregnancy.

Due date is 5th April, from 2nd April I started eating Pineapple I woke up on 3rd April and I was having little sharp pain not sure it was contraction, I took another Pineapple at night this time I added dates. The moment I finished the Pineapple I ate like 3pcs of dates because I don't really like it. Woke up on 4th April I feel the pain much than that of yesterday. But I stayed calm I was Monitoring but nothing serious.

6pm I started counting the contractions to be 2ce in 1hr. 7:30pm went to pee and I saw stain on my pant, I had to deep finger a bit, alas brownish +reddish stuff can't explain it. I think it's a show.

Called my doctor he said why did you deep your finger their haaaa oga no vex ooo. He told me to pack my stuffs and stay with them at the hospital. Hubby was not around I had to tell my sister we should leave early, we left home around 8:39pm got to hospital around 9:45pm due to traffic. On the way the contractions has increased to 5times per hour I said to myself this is labour and i was praying. Got to hospital the doctor was outside he said "are you sure you are in labour with the way you are cat walking." He told the Nurse to check alas I was 4cm dilated.

I took my stuffs in, the Nurse gave me some injections God abeg ooo, the contractions increased couldn't sleep all through the night, 5am she came to check and I am 6cm.....she gave me another injections this time I saw heaven and came back the contractions increased and I was screaming one of the Nurses was praying for me that I will eat the fruit of my labour..I was asking God to forgive me, I held on to my sister hands she was rubbing my back I couldn't feel anything.....this contractions were like 1min apart haaaa

I told them to call the nurses to check she checked I was almost 10cm she said they should wait for like 3more contractions and bring me to the labour room the doctor was saying I'm proud of you, you can do this...I was shouting I want to poo please allow me to poo they said not now. I was wheeled to the labour room this time I'm fully dilated.

Oya push bros no gree come out, push bros is not showing any sign they cut me in 2places, then I pushed my little man came out 7:31am on 4th April weighing 3.3kg.

Lekiboboe:
LOE is for second time applicants

See here for information & video template of a LOE
https://www.nairaland.com/6719291/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/375#106812997

If you are a first time applicant, you are expected to write an SOP (STATEMENT of PURPOSE)

That being said,

Take your time and go through the contents in the links below so you can know how to draft an SOP based on your own story, if you are through with your SOP, you can ask a guru here to help review it (hopefully they gonna be available)

Hello Boss,

I am a second time applicant but I awaits my GCMS. The first application was done by an agent and there was no SOP attached to the application. Hence, 3 reasons for my application rejection. I have drafted an new SOP.

Can I submit the LOE alongside the SOP??

lajid:
Is it the verify senate list or the uploaded graduation list on nysc portal by the school? the one uploaded by the school is not coming up again.

The name is on the graduation list, but I tried to verify it on senate list its saying record not found.

Hello People, my kid sister's name was on the senate list as at yesterday. She was about to register today and it saying No records found. We check the senate list again not single name appeared.

Is anyone experiencing the same?
