same as TAX clearance... Your employee gets it

ATTAHDYE:
Why is the bank asking for 3 years PAYE, do you want to use Form A to fund your GIC account?

dsureguy:
Ask your organization for PAYE certificate

No province in canada accepts co op work experience as eligible qualification in pnp nominations as you are still an international student!

Please in my OFFER LETTER I saw Co work-optional. Does it mean I can't work while in school?😂

I choose course with PGWP.

Hello House….

Is there anyone in SENECA college…
I applied and I have been given admission.

My program is going to run for two years which I will be responsible of paying 3 semester myself.

Please what’s the probability of getting a job and being able to save up to $20,000 CAD within a year?

Lastly, my tuition deposit must be received by August 1st.
If I make the payment now for the tuition deposit, whats the chances of my Visa application, and will I be given student permit?
I’m thinking of deferring the admission till January, but if I should do that and make the tuition deposit, will the tuition deposit be intact or there will be deduction from the tuition deposit.
Thanks

legendbarak:
Thanks, please how much was your tuition deposit?

I applied for Seneca College for the September intake, the required tuition deposit is $9,975.02 which am to pay before August 1st 2026.

My first year fee is $18,956.61(This is estimated for Two semesters)
Please do you know the amount for the second year two fee?

That's why, when you ask a question, you should give the full context. It helps people understand your situation and answer your question correctly.

You said, "I plan on paying my tuition in full this week." I assumed you meant paying your school tuition directly to the school. You never mentioned that you were talking about a GIC. Now I understand..

Anything that has to do with tuition payments always contact your school for the channel to make that payment...

I don't always recommend opening a GIC. While it can be a good option, it does not guarantee visa.

If you decide to open one, use your Nigerian bank account or sponsors bank account to send the funds. Make sure your bank verifies the SWIFT code of the Canadian bank and the account is in your name before sending the money.

ensure that the GIC account is in your name and that the funds are being sent from your own Nigerian bank account or your sponsors account.

That makes it easier to show the source of your funds if IRCC asks.

I am old school. I used SWIFT back in 2016/2017, but since then schools have a lot more options available now

Send an email to your school. Most schools have at least three methods of accepting international payments. That is your best option. Ask them for all the payment methods they have available for accepting international payment from Nigeria

For some reason, they usually mention only one method on the admission letter, but if you email them and explain that you need more options as someone paying from Nigeria, they will provide the available alternatives.. you school is your best option ask them

Morning folks. So I paid my tuition deposit since the 9th via paymytuition to the school and it's yet to land with the school as of today. Likely due to the delayed banking system in the US and Canada for overseas payment clearance. I plan on paying my tuition in full this week and I am wondering if there is a faster payment method. Please don't mention SWIFT.

Also, to those who suceessfully did a GIC deposit payment in a bank in Canada, please tell me what method you used to transfer the money to the bank in canada besides SWIFT.

Thanks.

It takes about 5-7 business days to reflect, mine took 6 days.
GIC I did I sent via my Nigerian domiciliary account, via SWIFT. It took just 24hrs to reflect, but took about 4 days for the GIC to be created.

Yes, Grey Finance Inc is a licensed MSB in Canada.

no tea on it. Just my personal preference.

It is not even necessary... I just prefer it, and it has its own risk too since we are not residents of their country...

nwaobitex:
Pls when requesting for reference letter from bank, should it be directed to ircc or to the customer or applicant

TrennixIntlLtd:
Yeah, there is a way to do that

Rahab409:
Can you list the names of the schools and how long admission took after application?

Mavor:
Already got 3 letter of admission this week.

amnotapervert:
best of luck

amnotapervert:
Congratulations! Now it's time for you to decide which one works best for you.

Yes, some school won't waste any time issuing an admission offer... The international student cap has really affected some institutions.

In fact, some colleges are struggling financially, and in some cases, the provincial government may have to step in temporarily

That's why I said you could receive an admission offer the same day....sometimes in less than an hour

but please just make sure that the school is DLI and the program and school is eligible for PGWP

Rahab409:
Abeg what school gives msc admission in one week or two and perhaps offers MSc in Renewable Energy. It's urgent guys.

amnotapervert:
Are you talking University or college?

It depends on where you are applying to Universities generally take longer to process applications than colleges

Some colleges may even offer you admission on the same day you apply as they are looking for international student money badly hahahah after going bankrupt last year https://globalnews.ca/news/11839473/conestoga-college-financial-misuse/

For BSC, master or PHD programs universities would take about 4 to 12 weeks to make admission decisions, although some can take 3 to 4 months.... and still Many universities wait until the application deadline has passed before reviewing applications and releasing admission decisions...

Colleges process applications within a few days to two weeks, with some issuing offers on the same day.... like conestoga hahahahah

So, it all depends on the type of institution and program you are applying

AbelAbdul:
I did not sent my official transcript until the schools requested.
Since sending my official transcript cost money, I only sent it to one of the schools that gave me admission.

Many schools gave me admission (conditional offer). To get (unconditional offer) I was to send my official transcript directly from my school to them.
Since my school charges (very high amount) to send transcript to Canada, I only picked one Canadian school and instructed my school to send the transcript. And that is the school I would be going for studies from Sep.

Unless your school is sending the transcript for free, do not send official transcript yet. Wait till they offer you admission and demand for it.

Are you applying for Fall 2026?

Saint Mary gave me unconditional offer even without the official transcript but they told me to make sure the official transcript was sent to them before end of Oct, 2026. The rest of the schools gave me conditional offers and majority of the conditionals were;
1. pay a tuition deposit
2. submit official transcript directly from my school

AbelAbdul:
I applied to different schools in Canada. Some gave me admission in less than a week. One of which was (Algoma). Majority took up to two weeks. It was only two schools that took up to a month before issuing me admission (Alberta & Saint Mary). Saint Mary demanded for a visual interview. After that interview it took two weeks for them to offer the admission.

PPR ALERT!!!!!

Typing this with tears of joy and a heart full of gratitude! This journey has truly tested my patience and faith, but i'm here today to say GOD DID!

PhdCloakRoom:
Yes I am familiar with grey. It is legally registered with Canada Fintrac and even in the United States therefore it should be able to provide the service and the probability of it acceptance by ircc is high.

However, I will advise you to contact grey customer support team for accurate information. Grey seems to charge higher commission and their apps have some negative comments but they re legally and internationally registered.
