It's been a while here, what have I missed? ��.. It shall end in praise... Peace

Its difficult getting a Masters admisison with a 2:2 in Canada.. I will advise you go for a Post-graduate degree, u can check up on Conestoga college or better still
Google list of Ontario colleges.. You will get related results.. Hope this helps... Peace

I will advise you apply alone, and use the members of ur family as part of home tie.. Then when u get ur visa and u are already in Canada, U can now apply for spousal permit to bring ur Wife/Husband/children over.. Ma 2 cents.. Peace

Electroweb:
Hello experts in the house,
I have gotten admission. I want to apply for study permit and I want my family to accompany and stay with me in Canada. How do I go about this?

You welcome and best of luck in ur application.. Peace

IboBoyNuel:
Thanks. I finally did it yesterday. Someone here gave me a contact and i did it at a more about. Thank you very much.

This is very normal and also possible.. Like I have always advise newbies right from the earlier parts, when it comes to application of Canadian visa, one has to be really patient cos this VOs cant be predictable... Someone that applied after you can geta decision before you, very very possible.. So I will advise you be patient and also prayerful. If u are resuming on Jan 6th, I will advise u defer ur resumption till September 2020 so u can have ample time to prepare urself after u would have gotten ur approval.. Best of luck. Peace

ibroh22:
Good day house, I have been quietly following this thread, I have an agent that is working on my application, I haven't met him personally but spoke on phone and WhatsApp because it is my uncle and dad that is handling the processing for me, I just forwarded my credentials and all to them....fast forward to September 3rd, I did my biometric capture and all in Lagos VFS,,,since then,I haven't heard anything from them,I have seen some people's update here and some did biometric in October and have gotten feedback, I have called the man severely for info to no avail. My question is, is this normal or is the man hiding things from us. Is it possible to have done biometric since September and not gotten feedback up till now..house pls kindly enlighten me on what to do..thanks

Its over normal sef.. U have a 50-50 chance tho, ur medical passed doesnt mean u will get approval, but be hopeful.. I will advise u start sending mails to the office in charge of ur application, robably NAIROBI and inform them ur resumption date is less than 2 weeks, and if u dnt get a response by 1st week of Jnauary, I will advise u defer ur admission to September 2020.. Best of luck.. Peace

Piecoco:
Good day house, this waiting is killing oooo, I applied 19th of dec and I did an upfront medical, on the 5th of dec madical was updated to passed, no update till then, house is this normal?
School resume 6 of Jan. Online application

This is a funny question tho.. Admission without Transcript? Most of the schools need ur Transcript of your 1st degree for you to gain admission for a higher degree... Peace

Memberclub:
Hello good people.
I want to ask if its possible to gain admission without uploading transcript?

Is Monday a public holiday? if no, then they will open.. Peace

kennykentipsy:
Good ebening

Does anyone know if VFS will be opened on Monday 30 for biometrics..??
I checked their website only got info for Christmas eve and new year eve that they'll close by 2pm.

Thanks

I will advise u come over to Lagos and do it for 5k at most.. They cant do ur Police clearance certificate in Abuja, they will have to transport it to Alagbon in lagos and take it back to Abuja, maybe that is the reason why they are asking for 50k.. So if u can come to Lagos and do it at Alagbon at 5k or less, guess that will be okay for u.. 5OK is just too much for police clearance that only have 3 month validity.. Peace

IboBoyNuel:
Please who knows where i can get police clearance certificate in Abuja and how much it costs? Cause i don't understand this 50k they are telling me to pay.

Although it is allowed on CIC website, and also I have seen just one person on this thread getting his Study permit visa despite having an EE profile, but that's just 1 outta 500 cases, so its very rare.. I will advise u choose the best option for yourself cos EE means u are applying for a Permanent residence and if the VO does a background check on your study permit application and notice you have an EE profile that is running, then u knw what dt means, its a total red flag.. So I will advise u stick to what will realy work for you.. Peace

chigrad:
Is it safe to have an an active express entry profile and then apply for study permit at the same time?
Will that raise s red flag to the visa officer that you will not come back after studies?

If u are sure nothing fake was submitted, then I will advise u start preparing for ur journey to Canada cos ur Visa is sure if and only if you didnt submit any fake document especially SOA.. Congrats in advance.. Peace

ndubuisi1213:
My own is taking 1month plus now. Submitted my passport together with my application(paper route). Kinda bothered but nothing fake was submitted.
What could be the reason for the delay in my case ?

It depends, from 7 days to 2 months and over.. Normally it shouldn't take more than 2 weeks.. But when its getting to a month or 2 months, then the applicant should be scared especially when he or she knws a fake SOA was submitted.... It will end in praise.. Peace

Ubah007:
Please who knows how long it takes to get your passport back after submission for PPR. Thanks

Since u are just finishing NYSC, u have no problem tho (hope u dont have study gaps tho) just explain all what u have been doing al though ur service year, if u were working in a company or school, make sure u include the offer letter coupled with ur 6 months internship.. Hope ur Proposed course of study will be beneficial to you on ur return to ur home country(You really need to dwell on this in ur SOP).. peace

Olamide319:
Good Day Everyone,
I need help in addressing this issue...
If finished service by April this year and did an internship for 6 months from April to October.Please how do i address the issue of current employment situation.Thank You

Who is this Linzo guy tho, guy calm down and stop what u doing... We have lots of refusals to deal with on this thread, so there is no need of all this unnecessary stuffs u putting up here.. U dey even tackle my grand guru Frankrobbn1, just calm down abeg.. I have been quiet for a while now, no make I resume on a bad note abeg.. Let peace reign and lets be focused... peace

Please ma people help me out with this, I plan of evaluating my Bsc transcript before the end if the year, and I will be writing my BCS March next year.. Now the question is should I go ahead with the 1st degree evaluation , or i should wait till when I get my BCS certificate so I can evaluate them together, also I dunno if BCS will send my transcript direct to WES or I will be the one to do that... I will appreciate ur responses ... Peace

Hello Adunnee, please as regards BCS. I have just my Bsc, no Masters.. So I learnt BCS will increase my scores by 30 scores, how true is this?
Also based on my research on the BCS certification, I got to know that BSC is in 3 modules, now my question is will I have to write the 3 modules before I can get a certificate to boost my scores or just writing one module is enough... I don't really know much about this BCS stuff, and I need guidance on how it is being done.. Please anybody that has used BCS to get PPR, I will really appreciate ur input.. Thanks

Adunnee:
Writing BCS will not increase his score since he already qualified for 2 or more certificates.

This is not entirely true, what I have observed about this study pemit application is just the grace of God.. So many peeps have put up the right and tight Documents for their application, and they still got refused... In case you dnt knw, Canada have the quota of intentional students they bring in yearly, and I wont be wrong if I assume they have Quotas for all countries too... We have seen several peeps here without submitting either SOP or LOE and they got their Visas,In my over 2 years on this thread I have personally seen someone on this thread with 1Knaira balance in his SOA getting his Visa.. So bro its not about right document or not, its just the grace of God and also this people have their QUOTA for the year... Be informed... Peace

Ubah007:
I don’t think these Stats are true sometimes people post whatever they wanna post online.if you provide all the right documents asked(Just do everything you are asked to by them correctly and carefully) from CIC/IRCC. And with the grace of God you will be granted the Visa. I have never believed in such.

Thanks Bro, will look into that... Peace

Answers in colored ink

Hello house, great work you all are doing here as the information here is really helpful..Please I will appreciate suggestions and advise on my situation which I am about to share.. I want to guys to tell me the truth as regards my chances of getting PPR.. Below is my present situation

I am a single 31+years old Man with over 4 years working experience, and I do not have a Masters degree. I calculated my CRS score and my score was 420. Now, I should be getting married next year and my Fiance is a 25 years old fresh graduate with no work experience, she will be doing her NYSC by next year.. Below are my questions..

1. What will be my best option of applying? should I apply alone or wait till when I get married so I can use my Fiance as the primary applicant. Because truth be told, If I decide to go for Masters now, I would be 33+ when am through, which means automatically my points will drop cos of ma age, but she still has age on her side, dts y I wanna use her as the primary applicant when we marry.

2. What are the things we must do for our points to be high i.e what can she do to boost her scores and what must I do to also boost ma scores cos I knw her points will also be relatively low cos she doesn't have any work experience..

3. Is there any certification I can take as a programmer within a year that will improve my scores, instead of doing per time Masters for 2 years(I am actually avoiding this Masters cos I know when am through, age would have been against me..

Please I will really appreciate your suggestions and advise on my situation, I have really been thinking about the whole situation and I decided to share it here for suggestions and advises.. Please peeps in ma kind of situation before that have gotten their PPR can also tell me what they did.. Thanks in anticipation.

First and foremost its obvious u don't know anything about this Canadian study permit process, cos if you do, u wont even think of paying such amount to these so called agents.. Please note that after paying such amount, ur visa is nt sure at all cos Canada is no respecter of any agent or agency.. My brother u claim u are busy, but am so certain u are not busy for 24 hours.. This thing is a thing you can do urself if u read up this informative thread, all u need to do is to create time for ur study permit application.. The only money you will paying is ur admission fee which is between 100CAD to 150CAD i.e 30k to 40k depending on the school as against the 200k the agent gave you.. And 43k for online application without doing Biometrics again as against the 550k the agent gave you.. My brother do not let this unfortunate peeps called agents eat fat on you... This thing is a thing u can do urself and get ur visa... But if u insist, u are millionaire enough to throw money to agents, please u can go ahead, its ur money..But I will advise it will be a wrong move spending such amount on an agent that isn't sure if ur Visa will be granted... Peace

Jalabingo:
Good day fellas, please an honest response would be appreciated. I want to make the bold step of moving to Canada through the student visa. Not knowing how this works and also due to my busy schedule, I decided to make use of an agency. I am cool with all the requirements but the visa application fee of
#550,000 is what I am not cool with because I saw it to be 150 Canadian dollars from my findings.

Below are some information extracted from the requirements sent to me :

"Consultation fee: 50,000
Note: If we are to do the processing for you, Consultation fee doesn’t apply.
Admission processing fee for / MSC/PGD: 200,000
Admission processing fee for BSC 250,000
Tuition fee: 8000-18000CAD these applies to BSc, MSc, PhD, Etc.
 
Visa application fee 550,000

First instalment: 450,0000

Second instalment: 100,000

The Admission application process is for a stipulated period of 6-8 BSC (weeks) (MSC 8-12 weeks)

The Visa Application Documentation is for a period of 2-4 weeks.

However we would appreciate if we could schedule an appointment with you at our office or call our line in order for us to have a broader discussion."

If you wanna apply through paper route again, I will advise you wait for ur passport to arrive so u can submit it with the other documents.. And if u knw u are in a rush and cant wait for ur passport to arrive, then go through the online route dt doesnt require u submit ur passport but u must have a copy of ur bio data page tho.. Probably before ur passport request, your passport would have been with u... Peace

omotayour26:

Olamide319:
Good Day every one,

Visa Consular,
Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada.


Sir/Madam,

I, Mr. a Nigerian descent would like to apply for a study visa in order to further my education in Canada, I have completed a Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the Federal University of Technology Minna, Niger state, Nigeria in 2017. Motivated by my desire in this field, I have gained an admission offer to study Embedded System Engineering Design in the prestigious Lambton College for January 2020.

My childhood was filled with unrelenting tinkering of machines and systems, which comprised of the wonders surrounding the workings and design of the likes of washing machines, cars and televisions. Throughout my high school, my curiosity for the technical underpinnings of Electrical/Electronic seamlessly increased. This curiosity led me into reading every manual I came across and the urge to understand how machines work, inspired my Bachelors degree studies in Electrical Electronics Engineering at the Federal University of Technology, Minna Nigeria.

During my first degree I developed a love for embedded system due to the courses I took. These courses are inclusive but not limited to digital electronics, analogue electronics design and control engineering. In 2016, I partook in the Student Industrial Working Experience Scheme which was a requirement for my degree program where I interned at Ayo Ayodele pharmaceuticals chemists Ltd, here I gained working experience in factory operations and control systems. After my experience, I furthered on to major in embedded/control and instrumentation systems, I conducted my final year research project in the design and construction of an energy saving system using a monitoring device, of which 70% of my design was done through my knowledge in embedded systems. After completion of my first degree, I participated in the mandatory one-year National Youth Service Corps program (NYSC), where I was posted to a secondary school to help instill the knowledge gained from my days in the university to the students, which I did diligently. On completion of my NYSC program, I gained an internship with Rocktop Safety Integrated Services Ltd where I also gained hands on experience and training of automation and control (PLC, SCADA and EMBEDDED SYSTEMS).

I choose to study embedded system engineering design because of the fast-growing need in today's workplaces for advanced skills, related to the design and development of software and hardware solutions for embedded electronic systems. ESED delivers a unique interdisciplinary learning experience in embedded system fundamentals, design concepts and integration of modern communication principles with industrial and electronic devices which meets my desired field of further studies.

All of my past endeavors make me highly motivated and energetic at adopting new attitudes and encountering new things. This is why I chose to keep improving myself by considering a post-graduate degree at Lambton College, Canada. In my search to foster my studies, I came across Lambton College which I found a perfect fit for further studies. The post-graduate diploma offered at Lambton College will surely substantiate me with the right acquaintances, dexterity, and practice to accomplish my professionalism. Communication protocols, advanced system programming, in depth study of operating systems such as (Linux) are among the few courses I wish to pursue. Also, the opportunity to work with highly experienced and skilled staff members along with the prominent facilities available would definitely help me in my academic pursuit.

As I considered the options for my postgraduate studies, Canada was my first choice because the Canadian educational system has a friendlier approach to international students with high international rankings. Furthermore, I would get the opportunity to interact with and be exposed to competition from the best students from around the world, get introduced to various cultures and ethics, as well as improve my communication skills. Canadian universities offer well known and widely accepted degrees all over the world. Canadian qualification will surely be a strong base for boosting my career and building my future.

The required admission deposit is 8185 CAD for my first term, but 15710 CAD for the full year has been paid on my behalf by my sponsor who is my cousin . My sponsor’s bank statement is attached to accommodate my total tuition and living costs for my first and second year in Canada. A sponsorship letter from him is also attached.

On the acquisition of this degree, I would return to my home country and pursue the career of my choice with the newly acquired outstanding skillset and join the design, production, and manufacturing industry. My vision is to provide advanced solutions to the problems we are currently facing in the Nigerian Production sector, as most manufacturing industries are now using Programmable logic Controller (PLC),Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Distributed Control Systems (DCS) software to protect, control and monitor the industrial machines and equipment which help increase the efficiency of productions and also ensure the safety of workers. All these systems are made up of embedded systems and they require advanced academic knowledge which is currently lacking in Nigeria. Thus, bridging the existing skill gap in the industry, mentor youths who do not have the privilege to acquire this knowledge and improve production capacity while reducing cost of production and also increasing production efficiency of local industries where applicable. I am confident I possess the intellectual and practical skills necessary to succeed in this program. The theoretical and field training will be a great learning experience for me to share with, and make a positive impact in my home country.

During the course of my study, I undertake to fulfil the conditions of my visa.


Thank you for your attention.


Yours faithfully
