A big thank you to everyone here!

Most especially,
@Frankrobbn1
@Lekiboboe

It finally ended in Praises
Congratulations Honorable Jermaineayo, am so happy for you..

Oya go and start getting your Winter Boots, Jackets , Turtle Neck Top, Gloves etc. Ready...

rebecausoro:
No update yet but hopefully, soon. Some of my friends also got PPRs. IRCC didn't even use the date of application for the approvals. Their system is just funny. Anyhow, at least PPRs have started pouring in. Congrats to all who have gotten theirs.

Hi rebeccausoro,

Is your skool yet to be in the COVID-19 Readiness DLI list...

Its looking as if its applicants whose school are on the DLI COVID-19 readiness Plan that are getting update as regards their application (BVL then PPR)?

fratermathy:
Congratulations to you and others who have gotten their PPRs.

Since the VAC in Nigeria not currently accepting passports, how will the passports be stamped? Can they be sent to other VACs?

Honorable Nairaluck posted this Snapshot on the 1st of SEPTEMBER

I think this should address the Situation but I don't know if there is any new development to this effect.

Olayinkaji:
Yes I have a BSc Electrical Electronics. The submission was done by the agent.

Profile as stated before boss

Based on my own view on ur profile,

- U made an Error in the place u mentioned after the diploma, i will later pursue a masters degree in same related field to advance my career as i grad'ed with 2-2..
Since u av a 2.2, even if u wanna do a Masters in ur later Career, a PG. Cert/PGD is the next thing to do in which you need to av hood grades in, cos it is impossible to pursue a Masters after doing a DIPLOMA.

- Going for a DIPLOMA after a B.SC is a Red Flag

So for Career Progression purpose, u av shown u av work experience in N+ Network Administrator,

A PG. Cert in a Computer Network related Related program such as
- PG. Cert in Wireless Network
https://www.ontariocolleges.ca/en/programs/search?q=Wire&page=0&by%5BProgramCredentialEnglish%5D%5B0%5D=Graduate%20Certificate

- PG. Cert in Cyber Security
https://www.ontariocolleges.ca/en/programs/search?q=Cybers&page=0&by%5BProgramCredentialEnglish%5D%5B0%5D=Graduate%20Certificate

is what u should go for............

- Write a strong LOE (Letter of Explanation) to tackle the Refusal Reasons made BT the Visa Officer


Do await more inputs from members in house

Olayinkaji:
Guys my gcms notes has arrived. Can someone explain to me please? Looks like the diploma thing as Frank said and probably MY Sop has the issue. I also noticed my criminality was put as "cancelled"

Cc frankrobbn chocs lekiboboe and Co

Please

So sorry about ur refusal Honorable Olayinkaji

Do u av a B.SC or HND? If yes, u shouldn't av gone for a DIPLOMA, that's no Career/Academic Progression.

- Its either u go for a PG. Cert (if u av a 2.2 or HND) or Masters (if u av a minimum of 2.1)
- The Program must either align with ur Fmr degree (B.SC/HND) or Work experience ( 2 years or more)

Application Plan is Vague & Poorly documented is referring to ur SOP

Criminality Cancelled - did u submit a Police Clearance Certificate?

Do Share your Profile by:
Listing the Documents u submitted for both ur "Client Information & POF"

With that Members in house can be able to connect the VO's comment with ur Documents and av a clarity on why u got refused

Seunbankole:
bless honourable

U are welcome

Oreoluwamipo:
She's applying into Candore college , and yes HR as well .. She studied Psychology - BSC

What do you think pls?

Hmmm..ok Oreoluwamipo,

Well..

In my own opinion,

In her Cover Letter,
she should find a way to create/develop a cogent reason why she's going for a PGC in HR (based on her Degree in Psychology & her Work experience in Customer Service Rep.)

The link below can help her in that

https://www.online-psychology-degrees.org/faq/can-i-pursue-a-human-resources-job-with-a-psychology-degree/#:~:text=While%20some%20colleges%20and%20universities,the%20field%20of%20human%20resources.

Also, about her Customer Service Representative Work experience,
I would suggest she should check for the Similarities btw Customer Service Rep. and HR, so she can av more clarity & cogent reasons on why she's going for a PG. Cert in HR at Candore College.

The link below can help her to decipher that
https://www./any-similarity-between-customer-service-job-human-resource-sharmin

So in a nutshell, she should endeavor to write a Cover Letter based on the above information, and also make use of those Tips I mentioned to u based on your Scenerio (Pol. Science transitioning to HR)

Also,
all of this are what she can write in her SOP (Statement of Purpose),
Cos even after she gains the admission, Canada Study Visa Application is like another hurdle which she gotta convince a Visa Officer (VO) in her SOP with Cogent (Strong) Reasons why she is going for a an HR program instead of a Psychology or Psychology-related Program.

I hope u find this helpful

All da best!

Seunbankole:
Greetings house trust all is keeping safe

owolabia:
Not all applicant's schools with bvl on DLIs approved o

Roger that owolabia

fratermathy:
That's not a correct assumption. There's no correlation between DLI readiness and approval. Approval doesn't mean you can travel. I think most approvals will be issued within the next two to four weeks and then students can consider travelling should their universities be on the list. Even if they have the approval and their universities are not on the list, they won't be able to travel.

Alright Fratermathy, thanks for the information

Eilenora:
I suspected and expected this.

Is it safe to play the waiting game and watch and see till one's schl is added or best to start applying to other schools whose plans have been approved?

There is an assumption out there that, some applicants are semi-approved through AIP but to get fully approved and to receive PPR , the DLI must be on the list, I suppose since all the ones who got the PPR's are on the list, I might be wrong.

To everyone who has AIP and recently got BVL,
is ur DLI approved for the COVID-19 readiness plan?

illuminator01:
Good day here,

I study Marine Science(Oceanography) for first degree in FUTA. But trying to apply for masters for related courses in Canada but funding it difficult as they require approval from supervisors before admission.

Any idea around it or how do I go about this?

Hi Greatest FUTARIAN ,

Yes u would need to contact (Mail) & get a Supervisor before u can be able to get a MASTERS admission

The following
Guides/contents/videos in the link below on how to apply for M.SC/PH.D programs, How to Contact & Get a Supervisor and Possible Ways to get Funded (Scholarship) M.SC/PH.D Positions in Canadian Universities
https://www.nairaland.com/5818588/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/111#90933556

Also try to contact & Get supervisors (Doctors/Professors) from other Schools in other to widen your Admission Horizon, so if one don't click u can be hopeful of other Professors of Other Schools u communicated with.

Visit the links below for
Oceanography & MST Related Masters Program

Note: The minimum requirement for MASTERS is 2nd Class Upper

All the Best!!!

LordAA:

Anything u ain't clear of, you are at liberty to ask questions here in the forum

Obanidavid:
Thanks @Lekiboboe

I received the DO NOT REPLY email this morning at exactly 6:03am this morning before checking my profile.

I also observed in the letter that it was sent from
Embassy of Canada
Visa Section
19 Dongzhimenwai Dajie
Chao Yang District
Beijing
100600, China (PRC)

U are welcome,

Oh China, AMAZING

I saw an Applicant's GCM note recently who got AIP, his Application was sent to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, South East, Asia

Seems CIC sent Study Permit Applications to other Continents e.g. ASIA, cos of the COVID-19 Pandemic which has caused the availability of Limited Staffs in some Visa Processing Offices,
cos most response i have heard of are bin sent from Nairobi, Ottawa & Edmonton. (They might be more though).

It will end in praises HRM Obanidavid

Obanidavid:
Glory be to God.

While we await the list of Schools ready to receive international students to be publish today. I received a correspondence letter this morning "RE: validity of your biometric information".

More success stories to come for all. Thank you Lord.

Congratulations in Advance Obanidavid,

PPR Loading for u.........

The correspondence letter u got, did u get a DO NOT REPLY mail or you jz checked ur CIC Profile and saw it?

Oreoluwamipo:
I find this so helpful. God bless you .

But then, a cover letter isn't required as part of the documents the school wants me to send , do I still send ? I hope I won't seem desperate.

Between , Political science is quite related to HR � I'm always amazed people don't know that lol because it screams "politics" lol

Amen,

With such move, you don't seem desperate, the motive here is to proof you are a good fit for the Program despite having a Degree in Pol. Science

Yes u are right,

The school might likely not mention it as a requirement, that is why I termed Cover Letter etc. SUPPORTING DOCUMENT

Since u are not directly having a Degree in a Program that relates to HR, a Cover Letter gonna be essential, a way to boost ur chances for admission.

Let me assume the School u wanna apply to is a school under Ontario College body e.g Conestoga College, Cambrian College etc.

If u wanna apply to such skool via the Ontario College Portal, there is always an Upload Column there titled SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS, under it u gonna see OTHER DOCUMENTS, under that u gonna see Portfolio
So under that Portfolio, that's where u gonna upload ur Supporting Documents for Admission which are;
- Cover Letter
- Professional Certificate in HR
- Recommendation Letter (Optional)
- CV
- Resume

Like I said in my last post to u, the cover letter will also help u when u wanna apply for ur Study Visa (while writing ur SOP), one way or the other you are alrdy learning how to explain in ur SOP ur Academic/Career Progression based on ur Transitioning from Pol. Science to HR

Hmm, quite related, ok

Oya Prof. Oreoluwamipo lecture me on that
(We learn Everyday )

If I may ask, what is the name of that school u are applying for a PG. Cert in HR?

Nastan:
In my view, the student should contact the school's international/advisory unit for clarification and proper guidance.

Thanks Nastan,

He alrdy did, that was the email the skool sent to him as regards if he should defer yet or wait till je gets Visa Decision bfor Deferring

Dbankx1:
Hello guys, I am hoping to apply to Canada for the January entry and I am hoping to finish my application by this week, and I have a couple of questions. Please any expert should help me and see me through this.
1.) I am going to school in conestoga for a post graduate certificate and the school fees is 23k cad, and I currently have 23M with me, would that be enough or it is too little, I am hoping to show my housing costs as well as my living cost at once.
2.) my dads international passport has expired will that be a problem when applying for the visa?
3.) I just completed my nysc today, what do I put for employment as I have none?
4.) will I be able to make jan entry if I apply now? Or am I too late
5.) can I send anyone my SOP to help me look over it for any corrections.
Thank you and may we all see succes

Congratulations on your POP

In addition to what Honorable Chocs. Said

Visit here to for SOP Guidelines
https://www.nairaland.com/5818588/canadian-student-visa-thread-part#88892909

3) As per your SOP, where u gonna be talking about Employment, since u don't av any work experience, your NYSC 1 year Job experience is what u would talk about and also show documents for in your CLIENT Information

E.g For the Employment documents in your CLIENT INFO, this is how u should list it

EMPLOYMENT
- NYSC Posting Letter
- Call-Up Letter
- NYSC ID Card
- NYSC Discharge Certificate
- Recommendation letter from my PPA (Place of Primary Assignment)
- Pictures of me at my PPA

Bolyboly:
Thanks so much please what's the duration for the PGD

U are welcome..

It varies , but there are PGD/PG. Cert program of 1 year & 2years

U can revert to this link for Microbiology/Biochemistry related PG. Cert/Post Baccalaureate Programs, google and check if the programs and its course modules relate to your Biochemistry Degree
https://www.nairaland.com/5818588/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/406#94920304

U can also google and research on the following Programs as well, Check their Requirements, Duration etc.

- Postgraduate Diploma PGD in food science
University of Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan

- Graduate Diploma in Food Safety and Quality Assurance
University of Guelph, Ontario

- Postgraduate Diploma PGD in biochemistry
University of Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan

- Graduate Diploma in Biomedical Informatics
Queen's University, Ontario

Oreoluwamipo:
Thank you very much for your response @Lekiboboe.
I am currently the Assistant HR in the organization I work for , I started working there this year after my NYSC and before then I served at a counselling unit.
- of course , I do have genuine reasons for enrolling for a PGC in HR.

You are Welcome Oreoluwa,

Oh that's awesome

So this is what u gonna do,

Its advisable for u to write a Cover letter (addressed to that department in the sch.) as part of the supporting documents for ur admission application, in which u will talk about why u are going an HR program even though u av a degree in a non-related program (Political Science)

This is where u will now explain ur Professional Certificate in HR, your Work Experience as an Assistant HR

and also in the cover letter , mention like 3-4 courses/subjects u will be doing in that program in the college.

In a Nutshell,
Know that, ur transcript says more about your Political Science degree,

so its the following supporting documents: 
- Professional Certificate in HR
- Cover letter
- Recommendation Letter from ur Boss (Where u work as an Assistant HR) - Optional THOUGH,
- Updated Resume/CV
the admission committee of the college will likely dwell more on in order to make a decision if u will be given the admission or not, so a Cover Letter could give them a second thought

Find attached a COVER LETTER SAMPLE/TEMPLATE (FOR ADMISSION)

NOTE: Some of the Contents in that Cover Letter would be what u gonna write in ur SOP when u want to begin ur Canada Study Permit Application (e.g in a Sub-heading/Paragraph like Why Graduate Certificate in HR in so so skool,
so take note of them.

All da best ma'am

Queenmama03:
It’s MA Economics.

Ok,

I wouldn't want to conclude u av checked all skools in Canada offering Masters in Economics, cos it's very Essential for you to Contact/Secure a Supervisor

Visit the Link below , you gonna see
Schools (over 40 schools) offering Masters in Economics or Economics Related programs, Google them and explore their Websites and Economics Department
https://www.universitystudy.ca/search-programs/?k=Economics&program_level_merged=Master%27s+degree&program_language=ENGLISH

am sure if u explore the skools, u should see substantial amount of skools that requires u to get a Supervisor Prior to Applying

Make sure the schools are DLI and offers PGWP (Post Graduate Work Permit), the link below will help u on that,
