I've used MasterCard and visa debit cards, still no luck. Called my bank and they said there's no issue from their end, that it's possibly from IRCC's website since all of the cards are not working. Don't know if I should use the normal GC key or wait this out?
If it doesnt work in the new portal it won't work in the old one using the GCKey cos the 2 sites uses the same payment network to process payments. Are your cards registered for online banking?

Hello everyone,

Please help! I'm trying to submit a visit application for me and my family using the new portal but I'm unable to pay. I've used 2 different dollar domiciled cards (UBA and GT), yet transaction is always declined. Is anyone having a similar issue, how can it be resolved, please?
A friend of mine had similar issue with both his debit Mastercard and prepaid Mastercard issued by his bank in Italy. He couldn't pay to submit his trv application for 1 week until he got a prepaid Visa card and tried and it went through.

Mr prolifik, please be prolifik with your post..

Conestoga College deposit fee of $1500 is refundable, please correct that...

When they wanna refund the money, they will just remove $200 administrative Fee, which means the applicant will be getting $1300 back..

Peace
They will only give you a refund if your visa is denied and you must upload a copy of the denial letter on your ontario college page. So if you get the visa and decided not to attend the college anymore you wont get a refund. Even if your visa gets denied and you fail to upload a copy of the denial letter on your ontario college website you wont get a refund.
You can get the full info on their website by clicking on the link below and see for yourself where it states that the deposit remains non refundable if you dont supply a copy of the visa rejection letter.

Another question please.

I'm hearing this Conestoga college and their 1500CAD tuition deposit. Do universities issue acceptance or offer letters if you only pay the deposit.
The letter of acceptance from Conestoga college usually comes before the $1500 deposit. In fact it is in this letter that will contain instruction telling you to pay the $1500 non refundable deposit to book your place in the program . And you will usually be given 1 month to accept and pay the $1500 deposit or else you might loose your offer.

Guys, please I have a couple of questions

1. Please how cheap are Canada universities. How much minimum do I need to pay to get offer letter. Post graduate diploma. I already have Bsc. Was doing MBA in Switzerland but didn't finish due to lack of funds. It was incredibly expensive.

2. For proof funds, if they funds are in. Corporate account of my uncle, will it be accepted.

3. My sister and brother in law are already in Canada, is there anyway there influence can help me.

4. Will my previous travel history help me. I studied in Switzerland. Didn't finish, Dad passed so funds have been tight since then
I dont know your financial weight. But depending on how you look at it . It will cost you less if you decide to do the Pgd in a college and the cheapest you might find will be around 9k to 10k Canadian dollars a year in tuition in a college like NBCC in new Brunswick. But if u intend to study in Ontario the colleges will cost you like between 15k to 17k canadian dollars yearly for tuition alone.

As per proof of funds the main issue is whether you can convince the visa officer that the said funds in the account would be readily available for your use when needed.

Your sister's presence in canada will help in cases such as when applying for a PNP program in provinces such as Manitoba or Newbrunswick. But as per study permit I dont really think so.

Your previous travel history to Switzerland in your case might work against you if you state in your study permit application that you dropped out of study because of funds. So how sure are you that it wont happen again.
All these are based on my personal opinion but you can apply then see what comes out of it. There can only be 2 options either it is approved or denied.
Good luck

Happy new year everyone!

Please guys I need your help as I am at crossroads.

I got my visa to Canada and I am due to resume this January. However the money I have right now is enough to cover only my tuition but not my stay in Canada. I can also hustle funds to pay for my flight.

I have not yet paid my school fees of 8277CAD yet and on the admission letter it says you have to pay to get letter of enrollment.

Can I fly into Canada without paying for the school fees first?

I don't even know how to go about rent.

Please which should I pay for first?

Thank you.
Recently on nairaland there have been stories of some prospective student not being allowed to board their flights to canada without the enrollment letter. Considering this issue I wonder how you plan to fly to Canada without this letter or enrolment.
So I doubt if you will be allowed to board the flight without the letter . My advice to you is to at least pay your tuition to get the enrolment letter . If you are lucky, you might not be asked to show proof of fund for your upkeep at the port of entry.

Hello Fam,

My sister is visiting me here in Canada currently and just got admission while here. Can she apply for a study permit while here with me or she has to go back to Nigeria and apply?

Thanks
If the program she is going for is an exchange program or a program which is a pre- requisite to enter an undergraduate program then she can apply while she is in canada. But if it's an undergraduate program or postgraduate program then she must apply outside Canada. You can read more by clicking on the link to prevent her from getting into trouble

Thanks @Mrprolifik

He plans switching school upon arrival to Canada. He just want to start the application process ahead.
If he plans to change school then he must inform IRCC . If he doesnt inform IRCC , know that his old school would inform IRCC and they will most likely revoke his visa and deport him . I sent you the link and everything about change of program or school in that page is clear , so dont try to play smart with them . Goodluck

Good evening House. Thanks everyone for the contributions.

I have a very important question.
My brother was offered VISA for a Bachelor’s degree in Saskatchewan. He has however differed the admission.
He is also planning of applying for a Masters programme in other for him to switch when he gets there. My questions are?

1. How long can he hold on to a canadian visa before traveling?

2. What are the chances of switching to Masters or College offer on getting to canada.

Thank you
If he has already gotten the visa and still hasn't travelled to Canada then he is required to inform IRCC before he travels to Canada of his intention to switch program .
Just telling you this so as to prevent him from getting into serious trouble.

You need to address the the concern of the consular officer such as ; financial status and personal assets, family ties in Canada and Nigeria and lastly your travel history. Address all this issues then you might have a chance.

Americans and Canadians sometimes take loans to fund their studies in the University. So I think it shouldn't be a problem in your case as far as you tender documents to show that the loan is for educational purpose .

Please I need your help. I have been reading the thread for about 4days now and I have a peculiar issue which I haven't seen anyone discussed.

I want to go to get study visa to canada with a view of migrating. I have a MBA already and will be choosing another degree.

I'm seeing something like study gap? Does it mean the university is not likely to accept my application because I had my MBA in 2007 and BSC in 2000. I have always been working so I have work experience.

I am confused? Will the study gap.of 2 years affect my application.

Sure you can travel from Ghana as long as Ghana is not on the banned list. But check to see if you need to do a PCR covid test before your flight to Canada

Yes he can fly from the UK as long as it is past 14days since he left Nigeria. And I think within 72hrs before flying from the UK to canada he would need to do a pcr covid test with a negative result .

This is very clear but still confusing. spouse is presently in UK. He entered after the ban was announced. Does this mean he can fly from UK after spending 14 days in the UK? Will the Uk authority allow this?

It simply means any Nigerian passenger departing from Nigeria and heading to Canada will not be allowed to board. Only Canadians and permanent residents. Please also note that a Nigerian can also be a permanent resident and in such a case he or she would be allowed to board. But if you are a Nigerian and departing from another Country you are good to go as long as you were not in Nigeria in the last 14days before boarding the plane.
So in simple terms it means no Nigerian visitors or Students departing from Nigeria is allowed into Canada for now. But if you are a Nigerian and you have permanent resident status in Canada. You are free to travel from Nigeria.

This letter was sent to my friend, Does it mean Nigerians can travel from any other country or total ban no matter your location..

To be honest with you the reason your friend gave for his visa denial might not be the only reason . But you stand a better chance of getting that visa if you are a permanent resident in your country of study plus having a source of income. You can put your company as sponsor but to me that still looks like self sponsorship.
Nobody here can really tell you how the interview will go. You will only know if you try.
Good luck.

Hello, gurus in the house,

Please i need a quick guide on these questions, please

I am an international student in Europe, im applying for a b1/b2 visa and i am filling my DS 160 form, Under the section on how do you plan to finance your trip to the United States, initially, i choose SELF sponsor because as a student here i cant claim that im working when im still on student status. Recently a friend was denied b1/b2 visa because he used SELF sponsor, the VO said he cant establish a strong means of financing his trip to the US being a student.

My question is, i have a business in Nigeria. can i use my company information as my sponsor while im here studying in Europe, will the VO recognize it? because i can see COMPANY/ORGANIZATION as part of the option listed in the sponsorship section. I have all my company CAC and the rest docs with me here to evidence my claim during my interview. i will appreciate everyone's contribution in this regard. Thank you in anticipation.

Yes you would be asked your reason for visit . I am using my own case as an example cos I travelled to Canada last 2 weeks though I am back home now. I was asked my reason for visit even after telling the border agent he still wanted me to show him something to prove it. I just showed him a letter confirming my purpose of visit that I had in my phone he just read it and allowed me in.
