fratermathy:
That's the LOI. . Congrats. The odds have favoured you.

Start planning to confront VFS early. I know you're not in a hurry but it's always better to have your passport at hand.

Thanks oooo

With this latest development, does it signify that IRCC has sent back my Passport to VFS

Cos VFS number ain't going , Busy, Not Allocated
or
is there any other communication channel one can use to reach out to them?

Since I got the 3rd mail from them on the Nov 18, there av bin no further communication from VFS

Attached is the response I do get for the past two weeks now anytime i track my Passport

Akannitommy:
I got counterfoil. Background check was also completed September 3rd - same day as medical request. No do not reply email or 4th VFS email yet. I guess we are just very anxious so we were checking the profile same time as they were working on it. August 22 applicant.

It will finally end in praise!

Congratulations Chief

fratermathy:
You should hear from them before the end of today. If you don't get it by the end of tomorrow, send a mail to the Abuja IRCC office (abuja@international.gc.ca).

Thanks Honorable Fratermathy

I jz got a donotreply mail from CIC now

I logged in an saw a "correspondence letter" telling me that


Dear bleep,

Your application to study in Canada has been approved. A permit authorizing your studies will be issued to you on your arrival to Canada following an examination by an officer of the Canada Border Services Agency, subject to your compliance with the requirement blah blah...


Is this the LOI?

fratermathy:
Congratulations!

Next step is to battle with VFS to return your passport before they go for their end-of-year break .

Thanks fratermathy


Na to activate Rey Mysterio mode wrestle with VFS

How can I get the LOI ?
Is there something (Webform/mail) I need to send to get it or wait for IRCC to send it to me


Thanks

JosephYemsol:
M so happy for u

Thanks Honorable

Dampops:
Please what’s the expiry date on the counterfoil? Does it align with your passport expiry date or your program ending date?

It aligns with the date the final decision was made i.e the following year

Like in my counterfoil, the decision was made Nov 30, 2020, the expiry date is Nov 30, 2021

Though I deferred to the next intake

Mmesomamichael:
when did you submit your passport?

Nov 5

I just got COUNTERFOIL

Current Status : APPROVED

I didn't get a Donotreply mail from IRCC


Try PUFFIN BROWSER if u are having challenges with other BROWSERS

Akannitommy:
We are in the same batch. They are working on our files am sure of that. I didn't get the email either and haven't been able to sign in for the past hour. We should get updates tomorrow hopefully. And no 4th email either (yet)!

Yes something is cooking and ready to be served hot, hopefully we get the updates tomorrow

Akannitommy:
Same thing here but I was able to sign in a few minutes ago finally. I see changes to my status changed from "submitted" to "Application/Profile updated" and then to "Approved". But am unable to view the full application page. It goes off to "Bad gateway". I think they are working on it.

Am also experiencing this same scenerio aswell, I wasn't able to check my application status even with different browsers on both Phone and Laptop.

But am quite surprised I didn't get a donotreply mail from IRCC to this update on my GCkey Profile

I haven't gotten the 4th Email from VFS aswell, I submitted my Passport NOV 5

LGDON:
Hi

Please, I need advice from good people here. I have BSC Accounting 2.2 in Nigeria university and MSC Business Administration in European university.

I want to apply for a program to immigrate to Canada. I'm kind of confused on which program to chose because I don't want another business incline course. I wanted something related to information technology.

Also, I want to know the type of program that would earn me study visa easily.

If you know any program or school, please recommend.

Hi,

It looks kinda impossible going for a Program u don't av a Background (I.T) in , cos it would likely be difficult for you to convince a Visa Officer with Cogent reasons why u wanna go for an I.T program

- You have an M.SC already, and it is very likely u wanna go for a PG. Cert in I.T, and a PG.Cert qualification is lower than ur already gotten Qualification (M.SC), a visa officer might likely find that suspicious, so that's a red flag alrdy

- Academics wise,
you av shown progression in Financial related programs both in Undergraduate and M.SC, u suddenly wanting to switch to I.T may look very suspicious to a Visa Officer, a visa officer can easily assume that ur Purpose of Visit to Canada is not studying, that u jz wanna elope to Canada via the Study Route

In a Nutshell, since u av an M.SC in Business Admin, a PH.D in a related program is ur best shot.

You can await response from Gurus in house on ur enquiry and also from members who has ur kind of profile, and intentions and were successful

Wifefo88:
I already got the confirmation from the bank and sent it to the school but they said they have not received the payment yet

Remind them this week about it, and don't forget to Upload the Evidence of Payment on your Profile on the Ontario College International Portal

larot78:
Hello ..house am intending student to Canada..I need some few information and I will be glad if you can kindly provide me with answers.

I have B.tech. in Animal Production and Health with third class
I am presently working as a Produce officer ( Quality assurance) ..state ministry of Agriculture ( 8yrs on ).

I am now a Principal Produce officer

What are my options and.

Pls which institution have a cheap postgraduate programs..I don't mind a diploma program everything plus fees under 10,000 cad Dollars

I will like to start latest April.

Thanks.

Hi,

U can't see a Program of $10,000 CAD in Canadian skools, as an international u pay more, so financial readiness is very important

Google the following PG programs & skools, visit their respective websites for more details

PG. Cert, Sustainable Agriculture @
FLEMING COLLEGE. ONTARIO

PG. Cert., Aquaculture @
Fleming College, Ontario

PG. Cert, Agri-Business Management
Fanshawe College of Applied Arts and Technology, London, Ontario


Also, outside the study route, since u av good work experience in AGRICULTURE and a good JOB PORTFOLIO (Principal Producer Officer) u can look out for ur chances in EXPRESS ENTRY.
The gurus in house might be able to help u with information on that

Wifefo88:
Hello guys...I paid a wire transfer for tuition to a college in canada and my sponsor was debited on nov 19 but till now the school said they haven't received anything and sponsor bank said they have done everything..
Please who has used a wire transfer for tuition and how long did it take...Thanks

When u mailed the skool and u got such response, did you send the Evidence of payment e.g Telex Receipt, Confirmation of Payment etc. together with the mail to the college ?

If u have the evidence of payment mentioned above, send it to them together with a message saying you have paid the Tuition, that they find attached the confirmation of payment e.g Telex Receipt or any other legit confirmation of payment

No ooo, I no kuku get am, I’m not in a hurry, they should take their time!

My flight is still April!

Ehen for prospective applicants, my program is 1 year but I deferred and was giving a 2 years study permit!

So if u apply with one admission letter And u defer, just send them the new one thru webforms, you’ll be fine

Nice one

What about someone who deferred immediately after getting PPR (1 year Program for Sept 2020 deferred to September 2021) and has submitted passport for stamping but yet to get it.

Can such person be able to get 2 years study permit?

Note: The person is also going for a year program

Thanks for your elaborate response. A quick one please, any hope of securing MSc scholarship in Canada so as to offset the funding requirement ?

You are welcome, Yes there is, but you have to seriously work for it, cos it doesn't come easy.

To increase your chances of getting Funded Thesis-based Masters or PH.D positions, you will have to explore a whole lot of Canadian Universities and contact the Professors of those schools that has Research Areas that relates to your Research Interest.

Don't limit yourself to 1-10 or 15 schools, explore as much as u can, that's why I said U HAVE TO SERIOUSLY WORK FOR IT
