Hi, can I still meet up with January 2027 intake?
I wish to apply for PSW in any college but I'm told applications are already close for January 2027

AbelAbdul:
I received a letter from IRCC this morning. According to IRCC, I am to present the letter to the Border Services Agency at the port of entry in order for me to get my study permit.

The letter reads:


When I arrive Canada by 22nd Aug, I am going to create a thread detailing every process I took from when I got my NIN, to when I got my international passport to when I landed in Canada.

Stay Tune

I know some agents here would be mad at me for refusing to use agents to process my study application.

Well, I actually used an agent for my study permit and my agent was ChatGPT. From when I started getting my NIN, me and ChatGPT were chatting back to back.
ChatGPT would always tell me, do this, dont do that. It was ChatGPT that told me how to structure my SOP and how to arrange my documents.

The course I am going there to do does not aligned with my first degree and it's slightly off from my current job. When I told ChatGPT about it and how it could be a redflag, ChatGPT told me how to finetune my SOP so that the course would make sense in the ears of a visa officer. I followed the advice and fine-tuned my SOP. ChatGPT was the one that picked Canada for me. Because my intention was to go to another country. Based on the course I chose ChatGPT said Canada was the best option and from YouTube videos I can understand why Canada is the best option for that my course.

When I see people here paying agents to write/review their SOP I just laughed. And someone here was scammed because of SOP review.
I wrote my SOP and ChatGPT did the review.

Even when IRCC sent me a message to go for medicals I consulted ChatGPT. ChatGPT told me which of the selected hospitals I should go and why. ChatGPT made the decision on whether to go for my medical screening in Lagos or Abuja.

There was no decision I took without consulting ChatGPT and I didn't pay a penny to ChatGPT.

Make una continue to carry AI work give agents make dem scam una. Imagine someone wanting to pay another person to write SOP for him. SOP is about you. your intents and goals. Are you telling me that the person you paid knows your intention of wanting to go to Canada than you do? Na so dem go write rubbish give una and when u arrive in Canada border officer ask you simple question u no fit answer because no be u write ur SOP.

Wishing everyone best of luck.
My story would be heard when I land in Canada.

Bulgaria ke??
Una don start again abi?

AbelAbdul:
The mods should give me a timeout? lol
Mods banning me or not is meaningless to me. My study permit was approved. You cannot make a comment on a public forum and expect no one to react.

AbelAbdul:
Ignore your post on a PUBLIC forum? Dey play.

Hmmm, I'm always wary about pumping the ish into my system weekly so, I skip and only do so whenever my blood sugar is going bunkers but my doctor keeps telling me to avoid skipping and take advantage of it since my insurance is paying for it and there are people out there who could kill to get access to it.

Artiiclebeast:
Don't eff with GLP-1s

Ozempic, Mounjaro, etc...

I just took my shot for the week.

Psychologically lets say that person is a grade- A average Nigerian who is married with kid (s). Tell us why does he or she needs to apply to Pgd or an Msc at this moment over those gap years he has been working ? The only reasonable application for such individual is stem- mba or Phd or advanced religious study.

Another exception is when the multinational company (employer) is reaponsible for the mandated upgrade of his or her academic qualification and there must be proof for that beyond doubt.

If none of the above then such fellow would better off with visiting visa during xmas perhaps taking his or her family to Horseshoe Falls in Canada 😊

PhdCloakRoom:
Yes it is true. The United States have warned and cautioned The Canadian and Mexican government of issuing unvetted visas on Study permit.

Canada has one of the most funny colleges founded by Chinese and Arab billionaires so therefore , they (Canada , Mexico , Northern Marianas etc) re issuing the visas knowingly or unknowingly to terrorists " money launderers" kidnappers " fraudsters etc.

For your information, Canada is now adopting the US style of visa application vetting. In order words your visa wont be issued based on the school fees you have paid or the millions in your hired bank statement. Your visa would be issue based on genuine intentions.

Back to your question: You must be certain that you are applying to accredited and certified institutions. Any person (s) above the age of high schooling applying to colleges without genuine reason or explanations of your gap year wont smell Canada study visa. ✌

dsureguy:
Not true..

I have used such things before now. Even use if for US visa and it worked...

If they have a foreign license with US, UK, CA or within Europe, use it...

AbelAbdul:
So what is your fear?

AbelAbdul:
Unless you are doing YAHOO that is when you should be scared to submit the online platforms u getting money from because not just submitting you will prove what you did for those money to come.

AbelAbdul:
As long as the money is legit you are good to go.

IELTS — Academic or General? Where did you register in Lagos? Any prep tips? you do not need for student visa most school wave IELTS for Nigerians email the school and ask before applying
WES — How long did yours actually take? Any wahala with Nigerian universities sending transcripts? you do not need WES evaluation for student visa and you would need your bSc to send your transcript so no one knows your University system but just try its your transcript they will do it for a fee
University application — How did you handle the statement of purpose? References? when you are applying for admission you will write it you are thinking so much and for reference some school ask for 3 reference I used my place of work for 2 and a lecturer I was cool with for the last one...you surely have people you can use
Student visa — What did your proof of funds look like? Any refusals or issues? apply for a school you can afford
Travel and arrival — First weeks in Canada, what do you wish you knew? if you keep worrying about this you will never leave nigeria
Settling in — SIN, bank account, accommodation — how did you sort these out? get your visa first you will worry about this later just apply for a school you can afford

If you overthink the process, you will always feel overwhelmed. You need to take things one step at a time.

Yes, it’s good to think about settling in and everything else, but first you need to focus on getting admission and making sure you can afford your fees before even applying for a visa.

So take it one step at a time. FYI, most university portals for the September 2027 intake have already closed or are about to close. If you keep overthinking, you won’t move forward and you’ll only fill your heart with worry.

Right now, your main focus should be getting your transcript from your Nigerian University and getting admission into a school you can afford. That is the first step.

If you try to focus on everything at once, you will get nowhere.

Two universities I know that are among the cheapest for international students in Canada are Brandon University and Memorial University of Newfoundland. Check if their portals are still open, get your BSc transcript ready, review the requirements for a course you like, and apply.

The implication of your expectation is that if buy the vehicle at the rate of 60M Naira, you will sell it at 51 - 54M after a year plus of use.

By registering the vehicle, you loose about 20% value. Again, how clean & level of maintenance also play vital role in resale value.

However, if price of cars keep going up due to inflation, you may get value close to your expectations but you won't be able to replace it at that rate.
