Sanovsky007:
Hello guys, so I submitted my study permit application yesterday June 6th, I got a letter today asking me to go to a VAC for my biometrics

what does this mean? and I also thought medicals come first before biometrics?

It means nothing, u are on point

U get such letter 24 hrs after submitting ur Study Permit Application but their NIGERIAN offices in Lagos (Lekki) and Abuja is yet to open due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, so Booking an Appointment ain't possible for now , hopefully its gonna open soon since other VFS Canada offices in some countries are beginning to open

Its that Biometric Instruction Letter (Printed) u will take to the VFS Office together with ur International Passport

That's why Lot's of Applicants in the forum are anticipating for the opening of VFS (VAC) Offices in Lagos & Abuja(NIGERIA)

Do read the LETTER from Beginning to the End, u will find some important & vital info there

- BIOMETRICS comes before MEDICALS

Yes it is very possible

Frankrobbn1:
It should be sent before the online visa application and also attach the MyBank statement which bears the Ticket ID and password with your application. This will enable the visa gain free access to your account and be able to confirm its authenticity.

It will end in praise

Well-done @frankrobbn1

As regards this MyBank Statement Ticket,
Is it that, not all banks give applicants the Mybank statement ticket?

Cos a guy who submitted his Application last month had a sponsor who uses Polaris Bank, they sent the Mybank Statement ticket to the Canadian Embassy, and the Sponsor was also giving a Bank Reference Letter addressed to the Canadian Embassy,
but Polaris Bank didn't give his Sponsor the Ticket ID, they only gave him a Bank Statement having the following details

At the Top- left hand side, they wrote

mybankStatement® | date | Page 1

Summary info
Role - Sponsor
Account name - Sponsor's name
Address
Tenor - 6 months
Currency - NGN

Available balance -
Book Balance -
Total debit-
Total Credit -

Then the 6 months Bank statement, followed...

I guess it is ok he used this ?

Thanks

Has anyone paid acceptance with Visa/Master Debit Card using CIBC ? If yes, how did you go about it? Are they selected Nigerian banks they accept? Is there a particular type of Card they require? Please kindly share,

Thanks

Do make use of FORM A ,

Charges are still moderate using FORM A but charges u get using Debit card to pay can be something else

Why are you making it look like its an error from the part of CIC?

Find the position of IRCC on this matter in the screenshot below.

They will continue to process application pending Biometrics submission.

As regards the screenshotz, Sure I know,

I guess its cos of the choice of word "error" that I use, or let me call it a BENEFICIAL ERROR

Am only referring to a former approval story of an applicant in which a crucial processing stage (Medicals) was waived and still got approval,

So everything still boils down to, NO TWO APPLICATION is THE SAME

But from all indications BIOMETRICS is very Paramount than MEDICALS cos of its long term identification purpose but an Applicant getting a Medical Request is a good sign

@MyRace

Sincerely, you have expressed my thoughts. I wish to share my testimony likewise that I submitted my application June 4th, received request for biometrics on a Saturday about two days after submission and later got a request for medicals on July 1st while still awaiting the VFS in Nigeria to give my biometrics.

Let us know that no two applications are the same just as our faces differ. The commonest thing I observed here is many people often kill themselves in fear of nothing that exist. I belong to the Winners family and certainly, I believed my application will be different and I will return again to share my final testimony.

Personally, I thank God for the journey so far and appreciate every contributors on this forum. I have learned so much and am indeed grateful. I will return soon before the end of the month to inform the house of my successful Visa application.

IT IS MY YEAR OF BREAKING LIMITS

This is Amazing,

This reminds of someone in this forum , I think in early part 16 or so, a first time Applicant,

According to his Approval Story,

He got approved without CIC requesting him to do medicals and he never did an Upfront Medical, after his Biometrics he got approved.

Some Protocols can broken if Oluwa is involved which always make no two application the same. An error from CIC might be a blessing in disguise for an Applicant.

As the Canadian Study Visa Thread Motto would say, Courtesy @Frank,

It will end in Praise

If u don't mind, Kindly share us a screenshot of the amazing development of urs for EDIFICATION PURPOSE

Wish u a bumper & bountiful grand-finale testimony

Good evening house. Please I need a headup urgently.
In 2018,I applied for Postgraduate Diploma programme in Economics. My Visa application was denied.

My academic background : I'm a First class graduate from University of Ibadan,department of Economics Education. I just concluded my Masters last December from University of Lagos.

A family friend encouraged that I apply for a short program of one year. The program is a diploma course.

My concerns: The course is not a progression of my academic background. However,it's a program that's not yet run in Nigeria.

Please what's your take on this? Anyone that can help ,please?Should I go ahead or start looking for PhD.programme in Canada ?

I am 37 years,married with three kids.

Hi,

The phrase "The program is not yet run in Nigeria" might not carry much weight, and the distance of ur academic qualifications to a DIPLOMA is way too much

For progression in ur academic background as mentioned,

PH.D is your best shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And if ur e-mail to the Professor/Dr. , PH.D thesis proposal is tight, u can even get Partial to Fully-funded Opportunities

Visit the links below for schools offering
PH.D in Economics in CANADA

https://www.universitystudy.ca/search-programs/?k=Economics&program_level_merged=Doctorate&program_language=ENGLISH

U can also use the link to search for PH.D programs related to Economics in skools in Canada if Economics is not ur area of interest for PH.D

Note:
Since ur possible admission intake is JANUARY WINTER 2021 intake,
U can as start contacting and sending mails to potential supervisors, cos the duration of getting a PH.D/Masters Admission can quite long or sometimes longer (2-5 months)

Check my post on page 112 on

Hmm,

Ok, Did the school state that they want a Minimum of 2nd Class Upper (Hons.) ,and must have a "B" in his or her last 2 years?
or
they only made mention of only last 2 years "B" for applicants irrespective of his/her graduating CGPA?

-What if a 3rd Class Student had a 2.1 ( "B" ) in his Last 2-years?

I will suggest u mail the school for more enquiries & clarification as stated in the other part of this screenshot, most esp. on the case of ur 3.2 CGPA & the "B" u had in the last two years so as to know if u meet their Admission Criteria.

Do await more response & Suggestions from the forum

In my IMM1294E and IMM5257B, I typed my full name in the section for signature, I just checked and saw that I was supposed to leave it blank. Should I refill the forms or can I upload like this?

-There is no signature section on IMM 5257B form, u only need to VALIDATE it, then SAVE

- For the IMM 1294e form, u are not to leave the signature column blank, u have to write ur full name ,validate, then save....

Pls sir help me verify if this programme on this link will last for 2 yrs. as I want a programme that will give me at least 2yrs post study work permit

2. Safety and Risk Engineering / MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY - Newfoundland [7000CAD/ 2.2mNGN]
(It is an interdisciplinary course for science graduates and offers a post graduate diploma certificate)
To Apply
a. Official Transcripts sent from School
b. Non refundable Application fee 38000NGN
c. 2 Referees online letter and form
d. Letter of English Language Proficiency.
e. Application Deadline is August 1 2020
https://www.mun.ca/become/graduate/programs/engineering.php

1) What did u study in ur undergraduate?
The answer to this question will bring about an avenue to know a potential 2 year PGD program that u can go for which should relate to ur former degree (for progression reason)

2) This Grad. Diploma program @ MUN is a 1 year Program

Its the Master's (MASc.) Of this program @ MUN that is 2 years

And the Admission requirement for both the Grad. diploma & MASc. Of this Program is a 2nd Class UPPER ( that's called a "B" )

This link below explains it more better
https://www.mun.ca/engineering/graduate/programs/safety_risk/index.php

Your best bet now is to look for a college (DLI) that offers a 2 year PGD program (offering PGWP) in a field related to ur fmr. degree (B.TECH/B.SC/HND)

Find attached a PDF file of Colleges in Canada and their Post Grad. Diploma programs

I doubt if there is anything called AFFIDAVIT of STUDY, even on google , there is nothing of such

There is only AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT, it will have the passport photograph (left hand side) of ur sponsor and urs (right hand side) and it is more of ur sponsor swearing an OATH that he or she will sponsor u throughout ur stay as a student in CANADA

Find a Sample of Affidavit of Support below
Though the one in Nigeria have their own Template, this is jz a Sample..

If u are in Lagos, check along G.R.A. road in Ikeja near LASUTH & Ikeja High Court, they are doing it there, u will see some women there ,mentioning the word AFFIDAVIT continuously, also at OGBA near WAEC Office, Ijaiye road, Ikeja, Lagos they are doing it there aswell.

If its not this AFFIDAVIT above u are talking about, then that's strange undecided

If its the sch. that require an AFFIDAVIT of STUDY, mail them that u don't know what that means , probably they could explain and break it down for u what it means or if possible they should give u a SAMPLE

Good day All,

please I need your advice on my application.
I graduated in 2012 with 2.1 in Accounting, cgpa of 4.13, i have 5 yrs working experience in the oil and gas industry as an accountant. am 36 yrs old
Currently I have CAD 35,000 ( i hope to receive additional CAD24000 upon my resignation + 25% pension contribution), I cant afford to apply for Masters program considering my present available fund.

My plan is as follows:
(1) apply for 2yrs diploma program in SAIT : Energy Asset Management. (with the hope to build in career in the industry in Canada). (CAD 34,000)
(2) apply for 2 yrs post baccalaureate program in TRU : business admin (CAD 38,430)
(3) apply for 2 yrs diploma in accounting program in UBC (CAD14,000) with the hope to pursue a CPA designation after the DAP program

Am a first time applicant trying to get all documentation right to avoid rejection. PLS HELP !!!

Hello,

Though u seem to av reasons for choosing to do a DIPLOMA but it is way too low with the CGPA u graduated with.., and it shows no Career Progression

Try Consider the following:

- Have u checked out Cheap Universities in Canada offering Masters in the programs u listed above
- Have you made a research on Partially Funded Scholarship Masters in Canadian Universities
- Have u made a research on Fully funded
Masters Scholarships in Canadian Universities
(E.g Fully Funded MBA in Canada)

And by the way, there are Masters program u can do with the $34,000 CAD or $38,000 CAD available funds u mentioned above for the 2 year Diploma

With ur CGPA & Work Experience, a Masters in any of the courses u listed above is your best shot

To do a masters, u will need to get a Supervisor for a Masters, and u might even be Lucky to get a Fully funded or Partially Funded Scholarship

Visit the link below, u will see lots of schools offering MBA & Masters in Accounting in Canada, Google them, Make ur research bout their tuition fee and also contact professor/ doctors of the schools who can be ur potential supervisors

Masters in Business Administration (MBA)
https://www.universitystudy.ca/search-programs/?k=Business+Administration&program_level_merged=Master%27s+degree&program_language=ENGLISH

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

Note:
Since ur possible admission intake is JANUARY WINTER 2021 intake,
Try start as soon as possible, cos the duration of getting a Masters Admission can quite long or sometimes longer (2-5 months)

Hello,

I am new on this thread and doing this process for my younger brother . Ready to read all research available to pull this through instead of paying an Agent.
He just finished his Bsc (GEOGRAPHY AND PLANNING SCIENCE) last year with 2.2 but very low CGPA .
We intend applying for another Bachelors at SAIT - Southern Alberta Institute of Technology . Its a Two year program ( Bachelor Applied Geographic Information System)

Will like to know if anyone is applying to SAIT and also to ask if i am currently on track most especially going for another Bsc instead of PGD ...... I know its a long process but fully ready to go through the phase .

Is their any need for English Proficiency Test for an undergraduate program?

Thank You

U are welcome...

Its not advisable for your Brother to go for another Bachelor's Program , cos the VISA OFFICER won't be convinced with the 3-reasons below

Reasons are:
- There is no career progression for him pursuing another Bachelor's Program cos he alrdy has a B.SC alrdy.
- His Class of Honours is 2.2, why go for another Bachelor' Program instead of a PGD or PGC
- His Age might not be favourable for him to pursue another Bachelor's program

In a way for ur Brother to show career progression, he has to go for something higher e.g
He should go for a PGD (2 years) or PGC (1 year) in GIS..

There are lot of colleges offering PGD /PGC in GIS in CANADA most especially in ONTARIO & MANITOBA Provinces

Find attached a PDF of Colleges in Canada offering PGD / PGC programs, you will see reasonable amount of GIS programs there at PGD/PGC level

Since u had a B.SC already in a related Program,
this program u wanna pursue in Canada should be a PGD/PGD level (if u have a 2.2 or 3rd Class) I.e Post Graduate Diploma or Post Graduate Certificate in
Education Assistant and Special Needs Support
but
if u had a (1st Class or 2.1), a Masters in Education Assistant and Special Needs Support should be what you should go for so as to show CAREER PROGRESSION

Make ur research on schools in Canada (Designated Learning Institute) offering the Program in PGD/PGC level or Master Level
