Hello house,

Please is it okay to reach out to multiple MP concerning an application? Hope it wont cause a red flag. As they all asked me to fill consent form. The first MP gave me an update that my application is still within the processing time and nothing can be done now.

The second MP is asking me to fill the consent form as well. I am scared it shouldn’t anger the VO oh as 3MP’s are making enquiry for the same persons application.

What do you all think
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by Makibarbie: 10:14am On Aug 30, 2022
Thank you so much.

Tho i still have my maidens name and ive not done a change of name. The only proof i have now is the marriage certificate.

So i want to know if i can apply for admission using my maidens name then provide marriage certificate as proof of relationship with spouse as the sponsor or i should just use partner’s name for securing admission

vividlooks:
If you have documentation for your change of name(marriage certificateand newspaper publication), use that to support your application.
In my case I didn't add these but when school requested to know why name on ID Was different from school certifications, I had to just provide them and added a footnote.

Just ensure you provide enough proof to show relationships with ypur sponsor
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by Makibarbie: 10:10am On Aug 30, 2022
My current legal name is my father’s name. I am yet to change to my husband’s name. My question is will i still be able to use him or my father in law as sponsor for my school while showing only marriage certificate as proof of relationship.

Onethe:
If your current legal name is in your husband’s name, then apply using your current legal name.
Some schools during application will ask if you are married or not.

Should you are worried because your certificates carries your former surname, it does not matter. Only provide proof of change of name when asked.

Regards.

Hi Nl,

As a married woman who want to go for her masters and her husband or father in-law is to be the sponsor. Do i need to apply for admission to the school with my husband surname or i can use my maiden name then provide my change of name document for visa application?

Please married people should help me explain how its done
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by Makibarbie: 10:42am On Aug 29, 2022
Hello,

Please in respect to this, does it mean someone with 3.10 CGPA can’t go for masters program?

I am currently researching for a program for winter.

Please can you help me out
johnstan:
Application fee to five schools is expensive. You only need to apply to at most 3 if you're not certain of what the outcome would be.

To help you, you need to know if you need to opt for a master's or PGD,

Masters are usually (not always) more expensive than PGD if you're on a budget.
You will require a GPA from 2'1 above and your undergrad transcript to scale thru while you only need as basic as your Waec result to apply for PGD.
You get better funding in terms of Scholarships with masters unlike PGD (not always).
Acceptance to a masters program can take up to a month or more while a PGD can be in 2 - 3weeks.
Masters avail you the opportunity to further in terms of PhD unlike PGD.
Both avail you a pgwp if the school is a DLI and your program duration is 8 months and above.

So do further research and shoot.

Good luck.

Amen

letsfarmnigeria:
Yes they did contact the MP and also followed up with emails and webform, yours will surely end in Praise

Hey God!
I also applied in may and no response till date.

I am just tired and i wish to see my spouse next month. I have been sending mails everyday but no response yet.

Please did they contact the MP? Or what did they do differently.

letsfarmnigeria:
Unfortunately it's emotional draining you can tell your husband to write the MP of his Area to follow up detailing how the wait is affecting your marriage , Just this morning 24 August a family of 5 just got VV to go and meet the spouse , application was done in May 2022 but you know it has been very slow for VV since March , Goodluck
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by Makibarbie: 10:06pm On Aug 22, 2022
Nothing more than 10k cad

mrprolifik:
When you say less expensive; what amount are you looking at ?
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by Makibarbie: 4:12pm On Aug 22, 2022
Please i also need help.

I studied sociology (Bsc) with a (3.17 CGPA) I am trying to apply for a year course either post graduate diploma or certificate or Masters in any management course or in sociology.

My budget is 10,000 CAD

Please can you advise on the school.
Preferably winter/spring.

Thank you

Chocs:
Hi there,

What course are you looking to do the post graduate diploma or certificate in? What course was the HND in? What is your budget? Nobody can tell you for sure if you will get a visa or not, you put in your best and expect the result. Providing more information will make it easier for people to respond to you.

Cheers

Thank you so much. Yes its my first time. My children are above 5. They are 9 and 7 respectively. I appreciate your response.
TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Makibarbie: 10:18pm On Jul 28, 2022
Thank you. I will have to request the email from the agent.

Please, send the evidence of landed property and the Dubai stamp via webform if you know the email that was submitted with the application. Your thoughts are valid.

You would need to fill the email address that was submitted with the application. All responses and update would be sent to the email the agent used to apply. That is the e-mail IRCC agents would recognize.[/quote]
TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Makibarbie: 1:26pm On Jul 28, 2022
I applied for the visa through an agent and i dont have any travel history during the application. So i decided to go on a week holiday to Dubai to atleast build my application. Now i am requesting the agent to send the stamped passport through webform but he has not been responding.

I also included my landed property but agents is saying they are not necessary.

So please can i raise the webform without the agent using my Application no or IUC number.

Also will I receive the update or it will be sent the email address the agent used?

rheene009:
Best email arrived. "We sent you a message about your application"
I’m Foreigner and my spouse is Nigerian. His VV PPR finally arrived.

He applied for OWP in May 2021 no update,

He then applied for a Visitors Visa in December 2021 which was processed in Manila, Philippines but was rejected, VO stated on his GCMS note that he had no reason to visit me and our infant child. It was heartbreaking, and triggered more of my anxiety and depression.

In April 2022 I got my study permit extension for a second program and visitor’s record for my baby.

We did several research and assistance from other Nairalander Thanks to @Technix and @lianna2020.

Due to his past refusal we decided his application should be done in his country of citizenship Nigeria and not his country of residence.

He decided to reapply for a visitor's visa on May 14th 2022 and got PPR May 26th today. 12days dang!

He checked his OWP application and Eligibility review has started wow.

Over 372 days wow, finally I can smile and I believe and hope his OWP gets approved soon.

Big Big shout out to @justmellow, @gcmswriters. I really appreciate your service. They’re very professional and dang! they interpreted exactly what I was going through. For me I wrote my invitation letter myself. I really needed to express my frustration, depression and pain being alone with a 10 month old, how my marriage is threatened, my health is threatened, my spouse being a Nigerian has to prove himself worthy all the time and having different traditions and culture. I attached chats and conversations.

PPR after visa rejection from US, Australia and Schengen. It's a pattern when he applies for visas from outside Nigeria. This time he used his houses, investments and family in Nigeria as ties to his application.

Due to the limited upload size for documents on his visitors visa application he sent more documents via Webform to address his reapplication.

I just want to say thank you to Nairalanders and the community. I don’t wish this delay on anyone. I hope his OWP gets approved as soon as possible.

Hello everyone,

Please I want to apply for visitor visa to reunite with my spouse for his birthday.

But my father in law who is a widower intend to be the sponsor due to his businesses, and properties. And to also get his bank statement.

Is this okay or would they prefer my spouse being the sponsor
