LONG POST ALERT
This testimony is on behalf of my wife, who is a silent member of this forum and has been following this thread consistently since Part 19. The Canada journey started in 2019. We started with the EE route by doing WES and writing IELTS, but due to age, we couldn't gather the needed points. Getting PNP also became difficult. So, in 2021, we decided to focus fully on the study route. As such, my spouse and I devoted time to gathering knowledge from this thread. The biggest challenge we had was how to convince the VO on her choice of program (Master of Organizational Management) considering her career as an Auditor in the public service with previous degrees in Accounting( 1st) and Policy Analysis (MSc). She also had lump sum deposits into her account. However, we took another 3 months to systematically build her account as a self-sponsored applicant and also gave detailed explaination on every lump sum deposits in a separate LOE. So, after settling for Crandall (she got admission into many colleges) we eventually submitted her application alongside a visitor visa application for my son.

TIMELINE
Application Submitted- 6th December, 2021
Biometric Completed - 8th December, 2021
Biometric confirmed - 9th December, 2021

I started sending mails to IRCC email addresses on 13th February, 2022, when her medical was not updated. I sent the mails like twice daily and got the generic response.

Upon her PPR, I noticed that my son's medical was updated to pass today and his eligibility review also started today. Hopefully, his PPR is dropping soon as well.

Hello House,

I am preparing my application and gathering needed document to apply for sturdy permit around Mar.
I am trying to get the full application documents form IMM forms and I noticed there are changes in the form titles and number with what some members have shared here.

Please see attached image from CIC website for Nigeria and let me know if these changes are correct as opposed to what members are submitting for example family information form etc has changed.

angel4sure:
Thank you sir, I will look into it. Am very grateful for the responses so far. But I have a challenge with area of research, u know our Nigerian school system, we dnt do research and most times after school, we dnt tend to get a job in line with what we studied.

I have always wanted to work in an oil company so I can have an experience, but it never came even after series of applications and interviews. Also with respect to my final year project, it was not related to anything petroleum, but Solar, but I have always had interest in petroleum, that's why I want to do a masters in that area. Pls how do I go abt this when I dnt have research experience and also my final year project was not in petroleum.

canada2022:
please where do i attach all these documents on CIC portal or should i scan everything in one attachment.
Makano, lekkiboboe and others please assist

feistymikey:
Please who knows where they swear affidavits in Ikeja?

angel4sure:
Good afternoon friends, hope we are doing well. Pls I need help on this email I send to Supervisors to get a school in Canada, I have sent them emails, but no response and some deadlines have past. I dnt know if my email to them is in correct order, I also send my CV, TRANSCRIPT AND CERTIFICATE. Below is one of the letters I sent, I also posted my CV. Pls gurus in the house, pls help me ��

Dear Prof. Fred Gaidies

My name is Okafor Onyinye Augusta, a graduate of Physics and Industrial Physics, with second class honours (upper division, CGPA 3.84) From Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, Nigeria. I am a candidate for the MSc Earth science program at the University of Carleton to begin in Fall 2022. The department assigned you to me as my Supervisor. The purpose of this e-mail is to enquire about the availability of masters graduate student positions in your lab.

I am interested in the research you are conducting on the kinetics of rock forming processes like nucleation, crystal growth and chemical diffusion and how these processes contribute to the mineral content, mineral chemistry and texture of a rock. The basis of my interest in your research is due to my scientific interest in hydrocarbon exploration, and how these hydrocarbons build up in rocks (mostly sedementary rocks). Your research interest in the spatial distribution of mineral grains in rocks would provide me with informations about the rock and fluid properties, and 3D seismic images, all of which are used to develop 2D and 3D maps and models of the subsurface and the distribution of petroleum resources, and to calculate volumes of oil and natural gas that exist in different areas. I currently run a registered petroleum company : REHOBOTH INVESTMENT AND PETROLEUM SERVICES LIMITED, and the Service I carry out is to source Diesel (AGO) from Depots and suppliers and deliver it to the end users(Hotels, Schools, hospitals, and banks). Working with you as my Supervisor will help me achieve my dreams of growing my petroleum company into an exploration and production company. I believe working with you would expose me to all I need to know about hydrocarbon exploration from rocks. I look forward to joining the petroleum company over there in Canada and thereafter establish my own company, thereby contributing to the energy sector of the country

I have attached my CV, CERTIFICATE and TRANSCRIPT for your consideration. I look forward to hearing positively from you as the deadline for submission is near (February 1st 2022). Thank you for taking the time to read my e-mail.

Kind regards,

OKAFOR ONYINYE AUGUSTA

Bankkydarry:
Please I need someone to just run me through the process of Applying for a study visa. Can I go to the Canadian embassy and ask?

Anon123:
Good day guys.. Quick one.

I have someone that wants to apply for a PGWP extension. She sees on Canada.ca link that one can only apply for an extension in person that is Paper and not online. How true is this please.

adespecial:
Good morning peeps, happy Sunday to us all!
I am a prospective PhD applicant and looking at studying in Canada. Though I already completed a course based research prog in Nigeria with cpga of 4.53 but presently I am undergoing a masters by research program in South Africa to conclude this year.

I will like to know if I can apply to Canadian schools now while my prog is still ongoing in South Africa?

Also A friend told me Canadian schools don’t consider PhD for international students except I enrol for masters. How true is this my people?

I really want to tap into this opportunity this year.

Olashile147:
My last 2 GP were 4.26 and 4.35 with a final CGPA of 4.28 yet Manitoba refuse me.. Pls is any Carleton university masters Student here or masters applicant here waiting to hear from them biko let connect.

SmartGadgetz:
Ok.
Thanks for the explanations in details, I appreciate it. Again, since she is having her visa passport, will they request for her studies papers before boarding her in Nigeria and at the point if arrival? Meanwhile, she is using connecting flight from Nigeria to Adis Ababa then connect enrout to Toronto.

Been awhile guys
Shoutout to @lekiboboe. I don’t know how you keep up with Nairaland while studying. You are a rare gem. Congratulations to those that have been granted ppr and all the best to those awaiting ppr.

To those of you that have been granted ppr and already studying online for winter semester, please complete your winter semester in Nigeria.

Adapting to a new environment is already challenging but doing so during winter makes it more difficult. I must say I am coping much better with the cold than I expected, but that’s because I was prepared and already familiar with the system to an extent.

You’re likely to get lost or miss your bus at some point. Believe me you don’t want that to happen to you in the cold.

The winter is brutal but it’s not all that bad when you are in indoor. You won’t even feel it with a good heater in your residence. My point is that arriving during winter is not a good idea.

Best wishes to everyone.

AbolajiBadmus:

Good day, wanted to know if it's possible to apply for a PG. Cert in Canada with a First class degree in Computer Applications from a university in India. Will it be disregarded as me being over qualified or I should apply for an MSc instead. I need a course in Data Analytics or something related. Thanks

mk4fna:
