Hi @mrprolifik I studied Business Administration and
I was a casual staff for 3 years with Lagos state public service,before I ventured into business in 2018

Since you have been out of school for a long time, your best option is to go for a program that leads to career progression. But since you are now into business and you studied business administration you can still go for a diploma program in business management or other related programs.
What kind of business are you involved in?

The least expensive colleges in Canada can be found in the Atlantic provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward island.
The list of colleges with low tuition in these provinces are;
Nova Scotia community college
New Brunswick community college
College of the north atlantic
Holland college .
Since 2014 what job have you been doing?
What program did you study in the polytechnic?

Annieeboks:
Please i need advice on this, my brother applied for a study visa using an agent and got denied. One of the reasons stated was
1) he did not truly answer questions about being denied a visa before. He was denied a US Visa in 2018 and 2021. He told his agent and even paid more because of this but the agent did not state this on his application. How can this be addressed? He intends to reapply. Thank you!

In the refusal letter he got from the Canadian embassy, was he not banned for misrepresentation?

Filanodivine:


So changing institution after attending it for weeks is better, the tuition you paid for the first one can it refundable

Every school has its own policy when it comes to refund . Secondly if you read well at the end, I said it is the best option for someone who doesn't want to return home to apply for a new study permit .
So if you look at it either ways if you decide to go back to your country to reapply or change school after attending the first school for weeks or months you would loose some money. So it's all up to you to make a decision that would be most favorable.

Faeyth:

Thank you for the swift response. I appreciate to understand you clearly that’s the one issued from my secondary school the testimonial right?

.

Yes the one certifying that you have completed secondary school.
I hope you don't have a study gap of more than 5years? I am asking because I know Durham college doesn't admit Nigerians with more than 5years study gap into their undergraduate programs.

Faeyth:


Hi, please can I send you a message I’m currently applying to Durham and I don’t understand what they mean by secondary school diploma

.

Your secondary school certificate.

Sulaimonsb:
Good morning, he no good oo una just dey dodge my question. There is God oo @lekiboboe @mrprolifik @makano

.

I think you should wait . This is because you still have the rest of June and the whole of July to expect a decision. Since what is left to be done is eligibity , that means a decision on your application is very close.
I hope you have done your biometrics? I am asking because you didn't make mention of it in your write up , but I assume it has been done since , the MP you contacted told you in his reply that criminality check has been passed.
Good luck

@mrproflink @Lekiboboe @Makano
Does the work permit that comes with the study visa the same with the co-op for someone that his program has a 4months co-op program. Or you have to apply for the co-op permit separately.

No they are not the same.
With the work permit that comes with study permit , you are only allowed to work 20hrs per week when school is in session or unlimited hours during holidays. But with the co op permit you can work unlimited hours if that job is part of your study program.
You will be issued a co op work permit together with your study permit if when you applied for your study Visa you submitted a letter of acceptance showing that your program has a compulsory work placement as part of the curriculum to complete that program. But if you applied for a program that has an optional work placement and during the time of applying for the program you didnt select the option with a coop then you will be issued a study permit without co-op permit. If you decided later into the program that you still want to take part in the coop job placement while you are already in Canada, you can still apply for it separately and you would be issued as far as the program has an option for co-op.
The advantage of a coop program is that apart from gaining practical experience in your program of study, you can work unlimited hours with your coop permit at your place of job placement and also work extra 20hrs per week at another job with the work permit included with your study permit .

sodmad:
Hello, please I have a question... After been refused for Visa, is it possible to change institution and program of study before reapplying?? So that the first application will be different from the second one entirely....
@mrprolifik

.
Yes of course

JDB55:
Extending your study permit for another program, can you do it over there or you need to return back home and start a fresh application?

Yes you can extend your study permit if you want to continue studying in Canada. Here is the link below on how to;

Good evening fily ....please who can help me got admission easily here for Canada please have been try no response please someone should help.me please a buying ...I will pay him or her please

You can help yourself by telling us about your educational qualifications and what kind of program you are interested in . After giving us this information, I guarantee you that a lot of people on this platform would search for schools offering programs that match your description and also guide you in applying . One thing you have to note is that , most colleges or universities in Canada requires you to pay an application fee before you can submit an application into any of their programs.

Litey8:
I need some clarification please. Below is my timeline:

Submitted Application on 5th of April
Biometric on 20th of April. Biometric got updated same day on my account.

I haven’t received any further updates till date. I didn’t do upfront medicals. I’m waiting for the request.

I applied through old portal(Gckey) and processing time is showing 12 weeks on the website. I’m to resume this fall.

Based on my timeline, Do I need to start sending emails now or still wait?

I await your inputs.


Thanks

Using the link below;
https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-processing-times.html
According to their latest update processing a Canada study permit from Nigeria can take up to 19weeks . Using this link is better because you can select the country where you submitted your application.
Please also note that in calculating the processing time they didnt include the time it took you to do your biometrics or medicals.

kichi2000:
Hello great people. Please I have a question. Is it possible to change school upon arrival? That is if one obtains visa here with the admission letter of a school and then upon arrival, switch to another school

.

According to IRCC to switch schools after obtaining your Visa you must also inform Them. If you are still in Nigeria for example and have gotten your visa and want to switch schools before travelling to Canada, you must inform IRCC and that also means that you would have to submit a new application with a new letter of acceptance. But if you have already landed in Canada and collected your study permit and later decided to switch schools when you haven't resumed the school you used in getting your study permit you are still required to alert IRCC and you will also be required to leave Canada to apply for a new study permit from home because the one you are already having will be cancelled and rendered invalid . So your best option is to attend the old school for some weeks or a month or 2 then withdraw from the school . In this case you will also alert IRCC but you wont be required to leave Canada to get a new study permit. This is your best option if you don't want to reapply from outside Canada.

Chemgeek6:
Hi fam,
Please how do I know which one is the old and new IRCC website?
What should be the content (like, what information should I add?) of the email to send? My application is overdue, yet no response/update from IRCC.
Thanks for your response in advance.

New Ircc portal login;
https://portal-portail.apps.cic.gc.ca/signin?lang=en

Old Ircc website also known as gckey portal login;
https://clegc-gckey.gc.ca/j/eng/l?ReqID=s28250d3d00659f7e64bfb60a7a5a061a88fa932c5

People refer to the 2 portals on this platform ,when they are in the process of submitting a visa application for visit or study purposes. The major differences between the 2 websites is that ;
when submitting an application using the new portal you dont need to download any form and you wont upload a passport photograph of your self and it is pretty straight forward to complete. But the major disadvantage of the new portal is that you wont be able to upload any document larger than 2mb in size.
When submitting an application using the old portal ( gckey portal) the process is longer and you would need to download and validate about 3 forms , depending on if you are the only applicant or more forms if your spouse and other family member is applying with you. You will also upload a passport photograph of the applicant . The major advantage of using the gckey portal is that you can upload a document up to 4mb in size.
So since in your own case , you have already submitted your application and you are waiting for a decision . Your best choice is to contact IRCC using webform , or if you know the location of the embassy handling your application you can send them an email to enquire about your application.

Guest911:
Please quick question, can I still get pgwp from doing a certificate course.

.
Yes if it takes at least 8 months to complete the program and if the program is done in a DLI ( designated learning institution).

Popson09:
Good morning everyone
Please, I need your honest opinion on this.
"I submitted conditional acceptance letter for my visa application but I just received an unconditional acceptance letter. Please can I send it via webform or I should wait until they requested for it?"

You need to send it as soon as possible, so that they can update it.
Goodluck

Ekesbaba1:
I need an advice.
Please someone should assist..

If you are currently out of the country then you need to send a message to IRCC to update them of your current temporary address to see if they would agree for you to send your passport to the VAC in the UAE.

Sam796476:
Alright,thank you.
University of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
3 yrs

For 3 years your tuition would amount to $51,000cad.
($17,000cad × 3years).
For your upkeep for 3 years you will need to show $30,000cad.
($10,000cad × 3years).
Other miscellaneous expenses like travelling to Nigeria for 3 years will amount to about $6000cad , it could be more or less but let's stick with $6000cad .
Adding all together;
$51,000cad + $30 ,000cad + $6000cad = $87,000 cad.
You will need to be able to show that you have over $87,000cad available for your study. So if you convert $87,000cad to Naira you should have an idea of how much you need to show to prove to the Visa officer that your sponsor is financially capable of taking care of your studies in Canada.
Converting Canadian dollar to Naira based on $1cad = 321Naira. You will need to show a bank account with over 28,000,000 Naira. And also note that you should be able to convince the visa officer that your sponsor will be willing to provide you with that money for the 3 years of your study.
I hope it helps.

Sam796476:
Good evening guys

I really need your opinion on this.
I was refused last month, I ordered my GCMS notes and it was said that my funds was insufficient and rightly so, it was.

Now my sponsor(father) sold a property and he's gonna receive a lump sum of 12 million Naira in his account. He has about 8.5 million Naira now plus the lumpsum it's going to be 20.5 million naira.

I have all the documents to show evidence of the sale, I'd also be adding pictures of the property that was sold. My sponsor is going to write a letter of explanation addressing this lumpsum, how the money came about and the details involving the sale of the property.
He also has a regular source of income, he earns 560,000 in a month. And he's also allowed to collect 25 percent of his pension funds which would be close to 3m

Tuition Fee is 17,000 Cad a year.
First semester tuition has already been paid. Sponsor (Father)is also going to write in the letter of sponsorship that once my study permit has been granted, he'd make the payment of my tuition balance. He doesn't want to pay the tuition balance until the study permit has been granted.

I'd like to know if I can proceed with submitting my application.
Your responses would be appreciated. Thank you all.

How long will your program of study take to complete?
What province is the school located?

Hello prolifik,

I want to send my wife's passport for stamping, so I need that consent letter we use to sign the 2nd page. I have searched my phone and laptop and can't find it.

I hope this is it. I sent 2 links but they are both the same documents just that one has 2 pages and the other has 3 pages.

Ketima:


Thanks but what i need is consent letter for one who got Passport request for stamping

.
If you meant authorization letter for collection of passport after stamping from VFS then here it is.

Ketima:
Hello house,

Please I can't find a copy of consent letter. Please who can help me with it.

Thanks.

Enclosed is a pdf copy of a consent letter gotten from the Canadian immigration website.
Just click on it to download.
Good luck

I am based in Nigeria, Applying for a study permit from Nigeria Can my brother who is based (a residence) in Dubai be my sponsor, he has a business, duly registered in Dubai. ??

Yes of course

Rach90:
Hello everyone, If someone travels to the UK for vacation and while on vacation, gets PPR. How will the passport be sent for stamping?

.

I think you should forward that question to IRCC or the Canadian embassy responsible for your visa application. Secondly after PPR you are usually given about a month to forward your passport to the Canadian VAC , so if the visa is important to you then you don't have a choice but to cut short your vacation and return back home.
If for example while on vacation in the UK and something happens to you and the police is involved .They will be needing a form of identification and in your case it will be your passport with visa which will also show that you are in the country legally so if you don't have it with you then it will become a serious problem for you because you don't have any form of identification or document to prove that your stay at that point in time is legal.
Lastly don't take the risk of sending your passport to Nigeria, if you are not currently around because if the passport gets to the Embassy and they find the departure stamp on it and cant find an arrival stamp on it then it becomes an issue also.
So my best advice to you is to contact Ircc or the embassy handling your application and do as you are told if the visa is important to you.
Goodluck

Oremeter:
Pls I also have a similar question but my condition is I have to apply for a math (calculus) course before April, 2023 but I can only do that if I have been given the visa. Pls what should I do? Although my department has already sent an email in regards that the course will be replaced with one of the math courses.

I think in your own case you are good, since you need to register and take that course in your first semester after you must have gotten your study permit.

Olanrae:
Hello

I applied for my study permit on 18th of April
But my admission letter that I submitted has one condition on it I’ve not cleared (my official university certificate)

Hope they won’t say because I’ve not cleared one condition they’ll not approve my visa or they’ll put it on hold.

Cos I graduated recently and my certificate is not yet ready

In other words you applied with a "conditional letter of acceptance". If you don't meet that condition you might end up not passing your eligibity. I think you should contact your school to clear all doubts.
Good luck

adepeju1911:
E-family

I just received my GCMS now
Kindly interpret please

"The pre-Assessment Notes: TH: CAN refusal declared" what does this mean please

Have you been denied a Canadian visa in the past?
From my own perspective I would take ;
TH: Travel History.
CAN refusal declared : would mean you answered yes when answering the question ; have you been denied a Canadian visa in the past.
Lastly as you can see it is noted under pre-assesment note. Which mostly likely means this are info you must have given them when you submitted your online application.
Please note that this is from my own view and I am not 100% sure if it is correct or not.

Jay5050:
Greetings to Everyone,

Please I can not access my IRCC secure account for sometime now. I submitted my study permit application since February. The last response I got from IRCC was in March, to confirm that I passed the medicals. My biometric was done in February.
I am worried because I haven't received any mail from IRCC and my application has gone past 15 weeks.
Please how do I track my application or send a message to IRCC to confirm my application status?

Thanks All.❤

You said you couldn't access your IRCC account, but I want to ask if the reason you couldn't access your account was because you couldn't remember your login details or because an agent submitted your application on your behalf?. If you forgot your password , then you can simply create another one as far as you remember the email address you used in opening that account , the username and the answers to the security questions you selected when opening your gc account. But if an agent submitted the application on your behalf, then the agent is the only one that can contact IRCC regarding your application and get a response from them.

Arlanda:


Thanks for your reply.

What exactly is GCMS notes and how do I order for it.

I am currently on work permit. I studied masters here 5 years ago and since then, I have been on work permit.

I will be applying for a permanent residence 2 months from now and my current permit expires by December.

Where I disagreed with them is my financial status. I have paid 50 percent of my tuition and I have up to 25million naira in my European bank account. I also received money monthly in salary.

My current job might not aligned with my academic profession. I am an accountant
and my current role differ. But I don't think this should be the ground for refusal. That I am not financially stable.

I disagreed with them on this.

As a Nigerian living in Europe too , my advice to you is to apply if you have your permanent resident permit and if you have a permanent contract at your place of work.
Lastly try to get your gcms notes.

Rach90:
Hi everyone. My gcms note is out and my eligibility says recommended for interview. Please what does it mean?

The visa officer making the final decision will most likely disregard and waive the interview. So this is a positive sign and congratulations in advance
