Thank you so much. It is working now but I can't pay with an Access Bank visa card. Its bringing out transaction declined. Please which other way can I pay again quote?
A friend of mine had similar issues with his prepaid Mastercard and debit Mastercard. He tried paying for several days and the system kept declining his payment. Then he tried paying with his prepaid Visa card once and it went through.
My advice to you is that if your card isn't registered for online banking then try to contact your bank to see if they are the one preventing the payment from going through.

Hello!
After my PGCert, i intended to go for Msc in a different course but in a way traceable to the former PGCert, after few months not immediately since my visa won't have expired by then.(using 8 months out of 1yr)

Hope there is nothing towards my 3 yr PGWP after the Msc?
After the first program, will i extend study visa or apply for another visa?
And how is the visa processing towards another program in cad, is it fast and demanding like this fresh one we are doing?

Thanks!

Hello team. Thank you for the work you all do. A colleague's son was turned back at the airport today as he was about to board a flight via KLM to Canada. After going through the first check, he was stopped at the last check before boarding the plane. My colleague is really worried and had to reschedule the trip. Also sent a mail to IRCC. The officer at the last check said she saw something and advised that they contacted the embassy and that the embassy should have notified them. But then they checked the portal and didn't see any notice or issue. They are very concerned and worried. Has anyone else faced such and how was It resolved? My colleague would appreciate suggestions or advise. Thank you all
Is the traveller vaccinated?

Please house I have a question to ask.

There is an application with a medical status that says : You passed the medical exam

After 5 days it changed to:


You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes

Please has anyone experienced this before and what could this mean ?
Is the applicant living outside Nigeria?

Hello Everyone , I gained admission to two schools Centennial College (Software Engineering: Advanced Diploma ) and Nova Scotia Community College (Business Intelligence Analytics:Graduate Certificate) , which school in your experience do you think I should choose in my visa application process?

@justmellow @Frankrobbn1 @Lekibiboe

Please I need some help.
If you have the money to spend then Centennial college is better . Reasons below;
*After you finish the advance diploma in centennial college and you apply for pgwp , you will get a 3years work permit. But if you go for the program in NSCC you would get just 1 year pgwp.

* more opportunities for IT jobs in Ontario compared to Nova Scotia.

*more pathways for you to apply for your PR
The main disadvantage In choosing centennial college would be cost of study and cost of living , since living in Ontario is more expensive than living in Nova scotia.

Hello Guru.


Please can someone kindly help me explain what is going on here. After uploading and attaching all my sibling, I tried to help her used my GTBank ATM to make payment but it kept declining.

After a period of time, it went to this page(see image). Surprisingly, I can’t find the payment section again or the uploaded/attached document.

What should I do?

Thanks for your reply
It usually does like that when u try to pay for 2 or more times and dont succeed . Just log out and try again after about 1hr you will find the payment link again.

Good morning house, and to gurus in the house, please I need advise on CIMT college, is it a good school, do we have student who intend going to CIMT?
Thank you all
CIMT is a private college in the Ontario province of Canada with 4 campuses. It is a designated learning institute so it's a good college but if you intend applying for PGWP after your studies , you won't qualify for it because CIMT doesn't offer programs that makes international students eligible for a post graduation work permit.

Thank you very much, but Before I can get a letter of acceptance do I have to pay the tuition fee or I can get the letterof acceptance only by the application fee I have previously paid for.
Depending on the college or university you applied to,
you can get an unconditional letter of acceptance by paying only the application fee. In such case you would be instructed in the LOA to pay a minimum deposit to retain your seat for the program within a set period of time or else the offer of admission would become invalid .

This is what I could help you get online after searching.

So read all that is written there and see how it applies to you because from what I found out after reading through, there seems to be some changes regarding the spousal open work permit in 2021.

Good morning everyone!
Please I have two degrees, one BSC and one PGD, however I’m unable to get my transcript for my PGD. Can I go ahead to apply for my study visa with just the statements of results for my PGD and transcript and certificate for my BSC?
Educational transcript or statement of result is not a requirement when applying for a Canada study permit. IRCC believes you already met the requirements to study that program when you get your unconditional letter of acceptance. If you feel like adding those documents when submitting your study permit application online , feel free to add them but just know that it is optional and not a must. What matters is that you have gotten an unconditional letter of acceptance into the designated learning institute (university or college)

Study permit and i was supposedto resume in September last year
You said you were told to drop your passport. I couldn't tell from your statement if your study permit application was approved or not . But if it was approved and your passport was requested which you didn't provide and secondly the resumption date for the program has passed. My advice to you is to contact your school and explain this to them and ask them for a New letter of acceptance for you to start this program this year . Then with the new letter of acceptance write to IRCC and explain your issues to them and see if they can still issue you a new study permit using your new letter of acceptance .

Teejay13:
Thank you mrprolifik, your points are well noted. But at what interval do i consider while applying for the next program and does the courses have to be related?
Before I answer your question I want you to know that you can only apply for a PGWP once in a lifetime. Which means if you want to get the 3years post graduation work permit after study by combining 2 different study programs (1year+1year). You mustn't apply for PGWP after finishing the first program . You must finish both programs then after that apply for your PGWP.
The program doesn't have to be related and doesn't have to be in the same college or University or even province . So it's better you start the second program immediately after finishing the first program.

So pls which uni can I go that will accept the 5 years gap for me ...
.
The 2 colleges I know that don't allow study gaps of more than 5 years from Nigerians are Durham college and Algonquin college both in the Ontario province.
You can try colleges like Conestoga college, Humber college , Niagara College . But to be 100% sure about other colleges or universities it is better to check their admission requirements or better still, send them an email to ask them if they accept study gaps before applying for admission online. It is better to email them first before applying so that you dont pay your application fee and then get a mail later that a study gap isn't accepted .
NB: the application fee is usually non refundable

Hello guru's in the house,

I learnt it is best for one to apply for a two year program like Masters rather than a one year program while planning to apply for a canadian study permit. Reason being that in the long run it gives the candidate more time, which is usually 3 years to apply and process for a PR.

The point am looking at clerifying is, is it possible to do two separate post graduate program in a college at different intervals and get eligible for a 3 years PGWP?
That's what we call 1+1 year program . You finish a 1year program then do another 1year program. You will get a 3 year PGWP. But one thing you need to note is that both colleges or universities need to be a designated learning institute.

Guzelgears:
I sent an email request please reply, ild love to commence my process but with good direction.
I searched through this platform for anyone with a similar experience to mine, but none so I am posting incase some one down the line falls in my category;
a step by step walk through or an advisable path for me to follow with regards to my study permit would be appreciated

Ild note the different concerns I have, kindly let me know what you think;

1. I am currently in the UK, on a temporary residents visa, I do not know if non foreign nationals residing in UK get Canadian study visa from the UK. There is an office to submit applications here in London, but there is no location for medicals, as I read on CIC, UK is a sovereign country If I can explain it this way, The closest location for medicals is in Ireland, Please do you have experience with foreign nationals applying from UK, and how medicals had to be carried out

2. I have a toddler of about 3 years old, he is an American passport holder, still not sure of applying with him or apply alone, then apply for him when the permit is approved, this is with regards to ties to home and leaving Canada after study
regardless of not applying with my toddler do I have to show receipts of medical expenses in the U.S?

3. My first degree is in the field of Architecture/Construction, I started a postgrad degree in Construction in EU but do not have my certificate yet.
So I am applying for a 2 years College Graduate certificate in Business and Data Analytics with just my Bsc Certificate and my work experience, with construction and marketing/sales/customer service experience. The construction experience is from employment from companies in my home country (Nigeria), the marketing/sales/customer service experience is from running my own outfit ( also in Nigeria), how can I explain this in the statement of Purpose. relating my experience in Sales/Marketing/Customer service with Data Analytics considering my work experience.

4. Do I have to show the VO the degree I do not have a certificate for yet since I am not using it for admission. the visa is on my passport of visiting the location and residency on staying there for a period, If I omit the degree, do I have to explain my stay as well?

5 My partner is going to be my sponsor, we also intend putting some funds in a GIC account and making provision for accommodation for a year in Canada.

6. My partner applied to study in Canada a while back, but he was refused on ties to home country and proof of funds, so he applied for study in UK, he would not be applying with myself, I just thought to state to give a wider picture.

7, I have a good travel history, but this doesn't concern the VO I just have to package my application properly to get the permit.

feedback urgently needed.

Thank you
I want to add my little contribution based on two issues.
* From your statement above you said you are a student in the UK . Which means your stay over there is temporary and because of this reason you dont have a strong tie to the UK ( no job and your stay is temporary). In other words I dont think it would help improving your chance of getting the study permit approved based on the location of study permit application submission.

*Not everyone is required to do or submit a medical examination after submitting a study permit application. If you live in the EU or UK with a strong health system and you recently didnt visit a third world country like Nigeria for example and stay for up to 6 months before applying for your study permit you might be exempted from submitting a medical examination certificate. In otherwords submitting a medical will depend on your country of residence ( if you are currently applying from there ) and the countries you recently visited and if you stayed there for up to 6 months.

Lastly the points I raised above are mainly based on my own understanding and opinion . I am not an immigration consultant.

Apply for your study permit using the new ircc portal which is quite straightforward compared to the gckey site. When filling the form on the new portal there is a page where you will need to answer if you intend applying for a co-op permit together with your study permit.
