Hi,

For Guide on Canada Study Visa Application,
Visit page 1 & 29

For Master's Admission guide, go to page 112, u will get everything there into to

And Its better you go for a course related to your former degrees for career progression reason, u don't need to start all over

Since u have a PGD , Master should be the next line of ACTION for you but if its your HND u want to use to come to CANADA, then a Post Graduate Diploma / Post Graduate Certificate is ur best SHOT
which means,
u won't be mentioning your PGD for that , cos when u want to apply for a Study Visa, u would have to show to the VISA OFFICER what u have been doing during the 1-2 years PGD u didn't mention

I stand to be corrected on this

See links for
- School offering Masters in Mass Comm. related program

- Schools offering Masters in International Relations Related Program

U talked about your interest in M.PH, though I don't know if it's required to have Medicine/Medical/science background to do M.PH, but at the mention of the Public' beside that health' I guess it involves improving peoples health through awareness, policy, and research, which ur Mass comm. Degree and International Relation PGD should satisfy

So u can check the link below aswell for :
- Schools offering Masters in Public Health programs

https://www.universitystudy.ca/search-programs/?k=Public+health&program_level_merged=Master%27s+degree&program_language=ENGLISH

YUSUFF3:
can one work with this Canada study visa or is only to study?
Yes u can ,

A Canada Study Permit comes with a Work Permit,
But
u can only work 20 hours/week during an academic session

and 40 hours/week during holidays

Working more than the stipulated hours above is highly prohibited

Check Page 82 for more Details

The school has already made it crystal clear following IRCC instructions/updates about applicants who can enter to and/from Canada for studies at this COVID-19 period. In a situation like this, the applicant should defer to Fall 2021 considering that the program is not available for closer intake and secure his/her VISA before travelling to Canada.


It will end in praise.
Alright, thanks

Good day all, pls I need a thorough explanation on how to go about applying for a student visa in Canada, I have been following threads on this topic but I don't understand anything.
I have HND mass communication, PGD international Relations, what can I study? Must it be related to the certificates I have already? I am married with 2 kids, can student visa allow me travel with my family or do I have to go alone? So many questions, I just need a guide, pls help me, I plan to write IELTS exam soon with my spouse.

I was able to do it for some of my colleagues that weren't in abuja, the officer sent the forms to them and they used ink to put their fingerprints, they sent it back and when it was done, the certificates were scanned and sent to them, while the hardcopies were sent to abj via waybill
Wow , really, that's wonderful....

I think it can only be done in Lagos, don't know if it can be done in other States, probably someone in the forum can respond to that

And it can't be gotten for him, ur brother needs to be there in person, cos all the FINGERPRINTS on his TEN Fingers is needed for the P.C.C.

No he’s a university graduate and done Nysc

Currently, no work no business
My own suggestion,
if he recently finished his NYSC (like March 2020) then his NYSC would shows his work experience

- Most esp. His NYSC posting Letter showing he was accepted to where he worked for 1 year (his PPA - Place of Primary Assignment)
- NYSC discharge certificate
- PPA Recommendation letter (if any)
- NYSC ID card
- NYSC Call-up letter

In the IMM form when he gets to the place they asked for Job/Occupation , NYSC should be what he should write there

Partaking in remote classes is not the issue. You must have your study permit or LOI for that gamble to favour you, except you intend to complete the entire degree online. If you have the above, you can easily get a 4G data bundle and use zoom seamlessly. Your University's online library can give you the articles and books that you'll need.

A typical zoom class will take between 300mb-600mb (could be more). Then factor in electricity and a good device (laptop is better). If you can risk it, then go for it.
Time zone also might likely not be favorable..

Some Online classes for Nigerians will be like 7-days Night Vigil cool

30 pages! I don't think PRIMO can work this time or it won't be clear at all, blurred letters. 30 pages! That's all my client information docs already in one document. I couldn't even use PRIMO for some 1 page documents due to the quality. He should give a try and see how it looks. I used only the survey plan on my land property due to the pages.
Sure u have a point, but the landed document he has might likely be of sharp quality, and Primo PDF might do justice to it...

I used PRIMO PDF on an NYSC posting Letter, the clarity of that document really diminished , which means it might not work for all documents, owing to its original clarity & legibility

What of stamp? How did the bank certify it?
Ur Bank should give u a Bank Reference Letter to certify it , and the reference letter should be addressed to the Canadian embassy.

And if it ain't coming through at that UBA branch u went to, try another branch,

That another branch might give u the ticket ID and also send it to the Canadian embassy aswell

Our Nigerian Banks can be funny ,

what they do in UBA Victoria Island, UBA Ikeja might say something different, some might even say they don't have the facility for that

By the way have u seen this,

Which other grammar will I speak for UBA to give me this? They look at me like I'm speaking gibberish.. I'll prefer this ticket to bulky SOA
If its possible , they should be able to send u ur 4-6months soft copy SOA to your mail in PDF then download it (not scanned copy)

@frankrobbn1

What if a sch. says that

As things stand today, you are permitted to travel to Canada for classes beginning in the Fall 2020 semester if:

-You have a valid study permit that was issued before March 18, 2020
-Your program requires hands-on learning (labs) that can only be completed on campus

If your study permit was issued before March 18, 2020, but your program does not require hands-on learning on campus for the Fall 2020 semester, we are requesting that you remain in your home country to begin your studies.

If your study permit was issued to you after March 18, 2020, you are not yet permitted to travel to Canada. Your studies will begin in your home country



NB: And this program is not available for deferment to other intake

The question is :
What if an applicant's program is strictly "On-Campus learning classes (lab components)" Option, with "No Virtual Learning Option" , but haven't gotten a decision yet as regards Canada Study Visa,
Is he/she permitted to travel once he/she gets his/her Canada Study Visa?

If NO,
What do you suggest for such applicant ?


Thanks...

What are the requirements for study permit applications. What is the average time frame for application
Is it too late to start application for fall study permit.
- 1 ) For ur first question, go to page 1, u will get requirements for Study permit there

- 2) Presently the Processing time for Canada study visa from Nigerian Applicants is 8 WEEKS (immediately u submit ur application , the 8 weeks starts counting)

And this processing time doesn’t include:
- the time it takes to send an application between a VAC and CIC office

-the time you need to give your biometrics


-3) Do await a response to your 3rd Question

Are there schools that have waived application fees and Ielts for spring applicants?
As regards IELTS, it is being waved for Student's from Nigeria by most schools cos they know NAIJA is an English - speaking Country,
but
if its possible, try get a LETTER of PROFICIENCY in English language from the sch. U graduated from. Its only when u want to apply for PERMANENT RESIDENCY u need IELTS compulsorily

As regards schools that waive application fee for international students, am 100% certain of only one school,
Cambrian College of Arts & Technology, Sudbury, Ontario (Application fee is waived for International Student in this school)

Though there are other schools, the likes of
- UBC
- Royal Roads University, British Columbia
-Mount Allison University, Sackville – New Brunswick (mostly for Undergraduates)


Some schools also waive application fees if an alumnus of such schools refer you when applying.

Some of the schools are:

- Fleming College, Peterborough - Ontario
- Centennial College, Toronto - Ontario
- Conestoga College, Kitchener - Ontario
- Mohawk College, Hamilton, Ontario

It is advisable to thoroughly read requirements, eligibility and have a check list of all documents required when applying. That way, you can maximize the opportunity at one go and reduce risk of not being admitted.

All the best

Alright, Probably some activities of some banks and their branches differ based on facility available etc., cos this Polaris Bank Branch was like the Mybank Statement Ticket ID is meant for the Canadian Embassy,
Only the Bank Statement of acct. was sent to the e-mail of the Sponsor having the heading mybank statement® and some other details that portrayed the bank statement is being addressed to the Canadian Embassy

Its very perfect to use the regular SOA which carries the total debit, total credit and available balance in the account. It is true that not all commercial banks in Nigeria issue the Ticket ID and Password. The applicant will have no issue using the normal SOA provided that its genuine. The visa officer will still go ahead to verify the authenticity of the bank statement by sending an email across to the head office of the bank.
