Hello bosses,

Thank you all for your wishes.

I finally got to my destination around 2am local time.

Before I forget, while waiting on the queue for my study permit.

A lady has a conditional offer to pass ESL(English as a second language). She is from one of the european countries and her school is one of the theology schools or a theology school linked to a college.

The officer, however gave her a year study permit. She said if she passes the English language exam, her permit will be extended fot the duration of her undegraduate degree. Also, she was given a work visa too(since a program has coop in it) but she cant work until she has passes the english conditions and have her normal study permit.


Also, you will be told, you cannot work until your classes start officially.

So, if you get there early, "no go dey form bravado oh, wait make school start before you begin reason work oh".

Una good morning...

Thanks a lot for taking out time to answer my questions.

1. I am married and have a child, but her dad takes care of her upkeep and all expenses relating to her. I just support. Also, i have another sibling who is older than him, but she is done with Uni, and working earning an average of 80k per month, so i dont av any financial obligations towards her.
2. paying the fees will not be a problem, dat can be arranged
3. As for my investments, how much shld i have? a rough estimate. I can make the funds happen. Worst case i will get from my hubby or family and have in my account.
4. I tot of the land since i dont have any landed properties myself and felt it might be a good economic tie
5. I also intend to apply for visa, so i can go with him to his school and help him settle in

Thanks

1. Since you are married let your husband
act as co-sponsor. u will also need to submit ur marriage cert as well, u and ur husband will write letter of support stating why u are sponsoring ur brother. Also state it in ur letter of support that u have another sibling but she works and carter's for herself(the vo will see it as well on ur brother's family info form).
2. It will be a good idea paying his tuition fee, u can even
make it look like it was ur husband (co-sponsor )that paid the tuition fee or part of it while u will provide the other part + living expenses.
3. The required amount will have to depend on your brother's tuition fee + atleast CAD$10,000(average living expenses for foreign student) per year.
4. Only mention the land as part of his hometie not that you intend selling it, just tell the vo your family have a landed worth so so amount and the land is meant for your brother when he is done with his studies (since he is the male of the house.....lol!), also ensure u include the papers of the land (photocopy - notarize the copy).
5. Actually you don't have to travel with him, all you need to do is sign a form cos he is a minor but if u have money then no problem applying with him. To me in other not to complicate things let him apply alone and before resumption you can contact his school to pick him up from the airport or so.

Hello All,

Please has anyone done a 12 to 16 months Masters in Engineering in any Canadian university?
Please I want to know the following

Do you have to pay the full school fees before applying for visa?

Can one get a Visa with part payment?

What are the tips to getting a Visa?

What are the chances of someone already married with kids to get a visa?

How many years work permit can one get after the program since the program is not up to 2 years?

Please someone should help me answer.
Thanks.

1. It depends on what the school wants, but if ur school didn't ask u to pay then it's now ur decision to make if to pay or not. To be on a safer side u can pay just to clear the vo's mind on funds.
2. Yes you can pay part payment but it also has to do with what ur school says (if they will accept payment or prefer full payment ) but if they aren't forcing u to pay now then u can pay part of it just to facilitate ur visa application (azaleas to show the vo u are committed to paying ur fees)
3. The tips are normal, go to cic site and see the required documents for application made outside Canada (Nigeria in particular ) and u will see the list of documents, provide the ones that concerns u and apply.
4. Your chances aren't bad, but if u don't have ENOUGH money in ur account it will be wise and safe for u to apply alone (without ur wife and family), ur family staying back will help alot as they will serve as ur hometie.
5. I THINK it will be 1 year PGWP, while if ur program is 2 years (3 years PGWP)

dtush:
Please guys, dont skip this. Help me torch light this matter

I don't think u need to tell them u intend selling ur building if u haven't sold it. Well a payslip, reference letter , employment letter from ur place of work will do. then also try and submit all ur investment papers as well and it has to show that u can access those investments whenever u need them (for paying of fees and his living expenses ). if it will be possible to pay ur brother's tuition fee before he applies for his visa it will be a big plus on ur side. Also, apart from ur siblings do u have any other dependants (like children or are u married )? your brother stand a great chance of getting the visa but try and cover yr tracks when it comes to fund cos that's where my fear is, The vo will like to know how financially capable u are to sponsor ur brother and still be able to carter for urself a blend ur remaining siblings, once u can prove that u have enough of fund to do that then u are good to go. Secondly, if u can't raise such funds to cover everything(cos I don't know how much ur investment is worth) then I eill advise u get a co-sponsor that will help reduce the financial burden from u. Hope am able to touch some parts of ur questions? Gurus in the house should help here

Bosses,
Good Evening from Toronto Enroute Ottawa.
My flight got delayed for some reasons. However, I am in Toronto now waiting to board the next flight to my new home Ottawa.
Below is my travel experience.

In FLIGHT:
I used Air Canada from Beijing. The flight experience was awesome though 12 hours long but enjoyable. 2 main meals and lots of in between.
When we were about to Land, the pilot told those connecting locally, need to go through immigration, get their documents including permits etc and claim their baggage before connecting to their various destinations within Canada.

POE EXperience:
POE: Toronto Intl Airport. If you are transiting through here, when you land, go straight to the "connection" area(follow the arrow). There are about 6 counters for that. When you get there, it is just the normal questions of where you are coming from and why are you here?
After that, you will be asked to go into the main immigration office for documentations. This is where you get your study permit.

STUDY PERMIT PROCESS:
Officer: Hello ...Bonjour
Me : Hello
Officer: Can I have your documents?
Me: Gave him my passport, introduction letter from embassy, offer letter.
Officer: What are you going to study?
Me: Computer sciences
Officer: PhD
Me: Yes.
He went through the offer letter and said
Officer: You will be here for 4 years?
Me: Yes.
Officer: Okay, wait a moment let me print your permit.

Then later, he came back with and said crosscheck your details which I did. Then he said, if you want to work while studying, go to the next counter (Services Canada)for your SIN. After which he said, welcome to Canada and enjoy your studies.

Me: Thank you.
So, I went the Services Canada counter for my SIN but could not get it since my I missed my connecting fligh. So, the lady suggested I go sort out the connecting flight and gave me a card to go to any of their offices for my SIN.

PS:
I was not asked if I paid fees or not, neither was I asked to show proof of fund for studies. However, some guys were asked. One guy told them he has a scholarship and showed the document while someone else showed bank statement. It depends on the officer you meet. So stay calm and just answer truthfully.

Also, please allow time for connecting because there is a chance you might miss your connecting flight. My layover was 1hr25 minutes yet I missed the connecting flight. There were lots of people waiting too. but when it gets to your turn it is 2-3 minutes. But if you miss your connecting flight, no worries, just locate your airline in T1, which os the local departure area and they will help you with another flight.

Mehn, Canny fine.. I dey wait una sha...

To God be the glory...

It will end in praises.

Mazi...

Thank God for journey mercy bro, we are coming soon God's willing.

Berylstanz:
Goodmorning,

Should I book a return ticket?..as most people are saying I should..please I will like info on this and other flight info I should know.

Thanks

It's not a must u book return flight, to save cost and since you will be in Canada for around a year or more I will advise you book a one-way ticket to save cost

lonelyhrt:
someone pls reply me its midnight here and am awake thinking alot





can someone have issues arriving at the poe 1week late for the issued studies visa commencing 5th septemeber? pls reply asap

U won't have any issue with that, try and contact ur school if they allow students to resume after the resumption date. Most schools give 2 weeks after resumption grace for students to resume . So regarding immigration u won't have any issue entering 1 week after resumption

5454Darese:
yea , might even lead to faster processing .

Cool then, thanks for clearing me on that

vanod:
Will still be processed.

Wow! it's cool then. Just knowing that now

vanod:
It's 100% possible, you can order for gcms file while your application is being processed.

and after requesting it will the application still be processed or canceled?

Twallace:
Thanks for figuring this out. (so it is a kind of general problem?) My own is CALASTU too and I have not heard from them and I applied on March,

I have decided to order GCMS note if I did not hear from them by tomorrow.

How can u order for gcms note when u file is still been processed? All u can do now is wait for cic to process or another option is u withdraw ur application, by doing so means denia. I will advise u wait to hear from cic and if ur application has exceeded the processing time then send them case enquiry mail or so then wait for their reply. Best of luck .

Berylstanz:
Another question

Now that I have the approval?

Or

After I have collected my trv from vfs?

Book ur flight rite now as the price is increasing rapidly.

ceceliaa34:
Hi guys.

Does anyone know if one can still pay tuition using Form A. I'm supposed to pay about 7000 CAD to Lambton College.

Has anyone paid tuition recently? What banks have a faster processing time?

yes u can still pay using form A. All banks do it now freely, so contact ur bank

isetoluwase:
Hi my fellow NLs,
kudos to the gurus in the house
I've been a silent reader
pls if i'm applying online can i use my gtb master card (naira) to pay my application fee

Yes you can as the bank has increased its daily spending limit from $100 to $1000(which is more than the application fee)

CanadianNurse:
her name is olamide 08035636038 @osemigho @wealth360 and myself booked from her

Originally introduced to us by @folaroyal

cc: @amnotapervert. .. thanks bro for the info, over to @amnotapervert to book his flight asap

OdeyemiAdekunle:
So what are you insinuating?.....

U didn't answer my question if u did upfront medical or not. if u haven't done cic medical till now and they mailed u that ur processed passport is ready, that means denial (99% certain)

cnonwnuwsp17:
Does IRCC put a refusal stamp on PP?

They don't

OdeyemiAdekunle:
Are you saying that the immunization disease form sent to me as nothing to do with the cic medical test...

It has nothing to do with cic since it was your school that sent it to you and not cic

OdeyemiAdekunle:
Applied on the 4thof May 2017 , the st lawrence college send me an immunization disease form to get the test result filled by my doctor, which I have done and I have sent back to the college

Visa application, tracking ID No.xxxxxxxxx Your processed passport has been dispatched from the Canada Visa Office ACCRA , on 20/07/2017 to the Canada Visa Application Centre. To know more, please call VAC helpline number or visit VAC website


Please I need your advice and comments
Has it been approved thanks

Did u do upfront medical before applying for your trv? or has cic asked you to go for medical? if your answer to any of the 2 questions is "yes" then your application has be approved (99% sure) but if not then there's a 99% certainty that it has been denied.

kenny4uu:

THAT'S NOT TRU

CanadianNurse:
do you happen to know any of such person sir

I haven't had time to check here bro

BlackNigerian:
Am new on this thread. I have a question for experienced peeps on this thread. Here goes my situation:I have an uncle willing to pay my first year fees in Canada. I intend studying nursing. Can I work and take of my self and pay subsequent school fees?

P.s:I need recommendation on cheap nursing colleges in Canada also.

Cheers

What now happens if you can't work enough to raise ur tuition while in Canada? it's not advisable bro. Though I haven't been to Canada before but I know someone people say it can be more demanding than we think. NB: the fact that as a student u can only work for 20 hours/week(while school is on session) reduces ur chances of making enough to sort ur tuition and living expenses conviniently, though u might be LUCKY but it's not advisable

maziude:
Sure boss... Will be going next week by God's grace

Safe journey bro, we are coming behind u by God's grace

CanadianNurse:
Hello House, sorry about the silence

Been busy with preparations including sorting accommodation(which hasn't been sorted still) to course registration, and other things

II'm glad and rejoice with @masciano and @icandor also @amnotapervert

Many more good news to come

@derel I love your spirit, infact I love you let your reapplication cover all possible loopholes( as highlighted by the gcms I hope you have already ordered sef) and at the same time explore the EE route

@maziude give us poe gist if you have travelled


Lastly anybody heading to UofM?

Hi bro, there should be one or more persons on this thread in ur school that can help u stay with him for a day or two while u search for ur own apartment.
