Deceiving us that God exist.

God exists. He really does I promise!
If only you know what you’re missing!

Many have encountered and experienced Him. You can too. If you seek Him (the right way), He would show you great things even you yourself did not know.

Hi guys,

I am currently in Canada on a visit visa, can I apply for a study permit from inside of Canada or do I need to apply from Naija?

Not anymore I guess. Just recently, it has been canceled.

How did you calculate your Funds to be sure the stated amount is sufficient?

Putting in mind that you can never really have too much, I always advise people to ensure they have (not just enough but more than) enough money to prove beyond reasonable doubts that they are financially able to fend for themselves.

Let's assume you actually did your calculations right, I would assume the response is as a result of a generalized response.
Let's wait for the GCMS note to show the primary reason you were rejected, then you can know how to strategize.

Worry less about the re submission for now. Worry more about fixing the reason for rejection and getting that fixed before re-submitting.

Must you evaluate any of the properties you want to use as home ties? Can I just submit the land documents and do a rough estimate of the valuation?

Rough estimate? nah. Please do an evaluation of the property to ensure the actual value

Thanks for your reply.

We are a family of 4. I have paid my first-semester school fees, We have 41 to 43k CAD. We wanted to apply in January but this new law is making us do it this month. If dependent remains the same we are good still.

Hi, How did it go?

Please paying 1 semester tuition fees for a 2 years masters program is it enough for someone traveling with a family of 4?
POF is not a problem but hubby said he just want to pay 10k CAD out of about 19k total 1 year tuition. MSc is 2 years and he intend submitting for all of us. Please help

Please try to go beyond their requirement. If possible, pay a year tuition ahead. The goal is to convince them beyond reasonable doubt.
Good luck you your family and we await the news!

Hi!

This is an issue many people have gone through. This write up is rather educative. I hope it helps.

So You've invested weeks, even months, eagerly awaiting the outcome of your visa application, dreaming of your move to Canada. You've scoured through countless YouTube videos, thorough planning what to pack and researching the cheapest flights. The anticipation consumes you, even waking you up in the dead of night with thoughts of finally escaping your current situation, only to be met with the crushing news from your agent: your study visa has been rejected. It stings even more knowing the effort and expense you've put into proving your financial capability. In moments of frustration, you may blame your agent or feel like giving up altogether.

However, my friend, I urge you not to throw in the towel just yet. Many find themselves in this very predicament, unsure of their next move. Whether you're in this situation yourself or here seeking guidance, I'm here to offer you five crucial steps to take before reapplying, to avoid another rejection.

Firstly, it's essential to understand that a rejection is not the end of the road. We've assisted numerous applicants who initially faced rejection, only to later succeed in obtaining their visas. There's always a reason behind the decision, beyond just financial concerns. Let's delve into the steps you should take:

1. Obtain your GCMS note: This acronym stands for Global Case Management System. It provides a detailed explanation of why your visa was rejected, going beyond the generic reasons stated in the rejection letter. Understanding these specifics is vital in addressing the issues during your reapplication.

2. Identify and rectify the reasons for rejection: Armed with insights from your GCMS note, address the specific reasons for your rejection. Whether it's insufficient funds or missing documents, take the necessary steps to resolve these issues before proceeding further.

3. Reapply with corrections: Once you've addressed the underlying issues, it's time to reapply. Before doing so, seek guidance from an experienced expert to ensure your application is thoroughly reviewed. Additionally, consider increasing your proof of funds to surpass the required threshold, alleviating any concerns in this area.

These steps have proven successful for many applicants in similar situations. By following them diligently, you increase your chances of receiving a positive outcome. Remember to ensure the legibility of your documents and avoid any actions that could lead to a visa ban. If you're unsure, seek the help of someone to review your documents to minimize errors.

Facing visa rejection can be disheartening, but with persistence and careful attention to detail, you can overcome this setback and realize your dream of studying in Canada.ld really help to avoid mistakes.

Navigating Changes: What Canada's New Student Rules Mean for You!


Hello, friends!

Today, we're diving into some news about the new regulations by the IRCC about studying in Canada towards a permanent residency application. Our Canadian friends have announced some changes to make things more difficult to get a school as well as Poststudy work permit. Let's break it down in simple terms so you know exactly what's happening!

Stabilizing Growth:


Canada loves having students from around the world, but they've noticed that too many students too quickly can cause some issues. So, for the next two years, they're putting a limit on how many new students they'll accept – about 35% less than last year.

Fair Rules for All Places:
Different provinces and territories (like states) will have their own limits based on how many people live there. This way, it's fair for everyone, and places with lots of students already won't get too crowded.

Some Students Are Exempt:

Great news! If you're planning to do a master’s or doctoral degree or studying in elementary or secondary school, these limits won't affect you. Also, if you're already studying or want to renew your study permit, you're in the clear.

How They Decide Who Can Come:

To make sure everything is fair, each province and territory will decide how many students they can take. So, when you apply to study in Canada, you'll need a letter from the province or territory saying it's okay. This helps regulate the number of students each province has.

Work Rules Are Changing Too:

After you finish your studies, the rules for working in Canada are changing a bit. Some students won't be able to get a work permit after they graduate, but others, especially master’s graduates, will get a longer work permit.



Spouses (Dependents) Update:

If you are studying for a master’s or doctoral degree, your spouse can still get a work permit. But if you're studying something else, like at an undergraduate or college level (PGDE/PGC), you won't be able to.
What's Next:
These changes are like a trial for two years. After that, they'll check if everything is going well. The Canadian government will keep talking with provinces, schools, and students to make sure everything stays fair and awesome.


What to do:

Now that the requirements are stringent and getting more serious, you may be discouraged to pick up an application to a Canadian school due to the high fees, but we implore you to not give up, as we would be with you every step of the way, providing assistance with P0F which seems like the number one challenge you may be experiencing while applying for a Masters or doctorate degree programs. We wish you well in your applications.


Thank you for reading.

How are you able to even touch it? It is scary to even touch. Jesus!!!

gazeup1:
Hi Guys,

We are applying this month, will the new POF affect us? Also, do the changes affect dependents, also?

Although the date is January 1, I’ll advise you just comply to save you the issue of stories. Also, the more the money, the better for your application.

Geerlings:
Good morning, please who knows how much is the tuition deposit always required by Fashawe College

$9,000+ CAD. Best bet is to wait for your offer letter to see the precise amount.

damyzel:
Dear Gurus in the house,

please, who knows any school in Alberta that offers Post Graduate Diploma for an accounting graduate in Business Adm or Business Management etc. i am almost giving up. kindly recommend.
i initially apply to a certificate course of 16months only to be told i will be entitled to only one Year PGWP, i need recommendation jare. i am tired. i want to stay in calgary or Edmonton.

Thanks in anticipation.

Check out the schools

Mount Royal University
Northwestern Polytechnic (Grande Prairie- I hope I got the spelling correctly)
Olds College
Southern Alberta Institute of Technology offer Business Administration.


Please note that if you go for a one year program, you are eligible for a 1-year post study work permit, and if you go for a year program, you would be getting up to 3 year Post study work permit.
As sweet as this sounds, you may need to brace up financially because during your VISA application, you would be needing to show proof of funds for the entire 2 years of study as well as living expenses. even plus dependent(s) living expenses (if you have any)

However, here is my recommendation if you want to stay longer there

-Go for a 2 year course. What did you study in the university? Business Management is an inter disciplinary course. You can also search for courses that align with your academic or professional background (If up to 3 years).
-If the finances is an issue, simply go for a 1 year course.

-1 year courses in Canada include Business Administration, Project Management, International Business Management among others.
Please check your eligibility before you apply so you don't waste your money.

Also, you might want to widen your scope a little more because wanting to stay in Edmonton or Calgary is going to limit you.




Good luck.

pretty1986:
Pls like how much is suppose to be in that Account for someone that wants to study Master in Nursing?

Your offer letter serves as a major determinant but I’ll do a rough sketch.

Tuition fees multiplied by Duration
Plus
Living expenses
Plus
Dependents (if any)
Plus miscellaneous

Add it all together, then subtract the tuition deposit you must have paid prior to the visa application.
Good luck.

Hello good day guys
Please can anyone help with any college or University in Canada that has summer intakes on art/ social sciences course for Masters Ma/Msc


Thanks for the attention

🙏🙏

Do you have any precise location/province in mind?

ChiomaMC:
Hello gurus in the house.
Please I work in a microfinance bank and that's the account my salary is paid. Can I use the account as my POF, or I should transfer the money to my commercial bank account. If I transfer the money to my commercial account, do I need to print the transfer receipts and do I need to show statement of account of my microfinance bank account as well or the transfer receipts is enough?. I'm confused on the best thing to do here.

Use your Microfinance bank. It has worked before. There’s no need to transfer it out. Also, ensure your money is sufficient and it stays in there for at least 4-5 months before you commence your VISA processing.
Good luck

Is the amount in US dollars or Canadian dollars?

They are in CAD

Queenikotansa:
Hi everyone. Please @Justwise and anyone else.

I need advice. I got admitted to Conestoga college for May 2024.

It says the below:

Estimated tuition fee for the first academic year of the program 8
months of study: $20,604.50 CAD
Estimated tuition fee for the first semester of the program 4months of
study: $10,150.00, CAD
Program Length: 2 Academic Year(s) (Periods Of 8 Months)

This letter of acceptance replaces all previous offers issued and
will expire unless:
A $1,500.00 non-refundable deposit is received by the
College on or before: October 15, 2023
The balance of the first semester tuition fees are paid and
received by the College by: February 13, 2024
Proof of study permit authorization/approval letter is
uploaded to the International Registration Portal
Note: If the above payments are not received by the College before the dates
listed above, you may not be eligible for the program.

*My question is if i can pay the $1,500.00 non-refundable deposit and be issued the LOA i need for a study permit application and also if yes to this - will the fact that i paid just $1,500.00 be a red flag to the IRCC seeing as the college said to pay the balance of the first semester tuition fees by February* Or if i should just pay the $10,150.00 at once. Though i do not have it complete right now. If 1,500 would do i would rather go for that and make the visa application then get ready to pay the funds when due as the Uni asked.

Please help me based on experience everyone.

I appreciate you all.

Recently, Conestoga College has started increasing their number (and amount) of tuition deposits. In many cases, they’d ask you to pay the initial $1,500 CAD, and subsequently, pay another sum (about 6k-8k. It is not even fixed). Please check your offer letter very well to be sure there is no extra requirement in terms of payment.
Generally, it is safe to even pay more than the tuition deposit. Say for example you were asked to pay only 1500, but you went ahead to pay about $6k, would not only show your seriousness, but it would also help reduce your proof of funds.

When are you submitting your application? If you’re submitting before your tuition deadline, you’re good. But if after, please pay it. Nonetheless you have to pay that money before the February date so you’d be allowed entry (should your visa application be approved on time.)

Good luck.
