opezi:
Thank you.. Will an updated POF also be required as the application has been submitted since may 2021and which other documents will be needed.

.
I will advice that you add any new documents when submitting the new letter of acceptance via webform.

opezi:
Hii.. Can I change institution before the approval of a study permit?

Yes you can change institution before the approval of a study permit by informing IRCC via webform and also attaching the new letter of acceptance.

purespikes:
Guys, what does it mean for IRCC to request for a "Parent Authorisation to Travel" from the other parent? It is in respect of a Visitor Visa for a minor who is accompanying mum on study permit? Does it signify that PPR is on the way?

.
To be sure that the Father is aware and agrees with the mum to travel with the Child. I think it is a positive sign regarding the final outcome of the study permit application.

I intend to apply for masters into Conestoga College. The current opening says May 2022, but this will be too soon for me, so I would like to know of I can start processing my application from now even if I would like to resume around September. ease what do I have to do? Any response on this will be truly appreciated.

.

If the program has a September (fall) intake then I think it's better you submit your application now . I know of 2 people who have gotten their letter of acceptance into Conestoga college for September 2022 intake since February .

gaeul:
Good morning house, please am in a fix, my school (University of New Brunswick) refused me a deferral to May. I have appealed and appealed yet no positive response. Sadly, passport stamped but no updated Letter of Acceptance.

The question now is; Is it possible to get admission for another school to resume May or are all deadlines close?

Can I travel with my January Letter of acceptance?

Please, I need all the help I can get.

Even you get an admission into another College before you travel to Canada , you will need to apply for another Study permit with a new Letter of acceptance. If the program also starts in September 2022 I would advice you defer till that time and get another letter of acceptance all you just need to do is inform IRCC of your new start date.

Please help me Nairalander! Do I have a medical problem? Why do I forget things a lot?

Here’s the thing, I am someone who forgets things a lot. This may not sound like a big deal to you, but this problem is ruining the relationship I have with people.

There’ll be times when my friends would call telling me to do stuff for them, and the next day when we meet and they ask for the feedback, I’ll be there looking stupid because I didn’t remember them calling me at all. This is a problem because most times they think I faking the fact that I failed to remember.

I’ll be nineteen in a few months but I’m seriously worried for myself. I’m the kind of person who buys about three PEN every single day because I always forget where I dropped the last ones.

Don’t get me wrong, I do well in school, I currently have a 4.8 CGPA. The things I’m taught in school always seem to stick in my head, but every other thing doesn’t.

I have lost a lot of valuable friends because of this. Yes! It’s that bad.

There was a time I had a huge quarrel with a toxic friend, we ended up breaking up our friendship. But when the next semester began, I started wondering why she wasn’t talking to me. I tried approaching her but she ignored me.

I didn’t understand her behavior until the day I was flipping through my diary where I read that I had quarreled with her.

Please, I need help! My mum complains a lot about my behavior! Do I have a medical condition?

This problem is so bad that I had to buy a bracelet that connects my phone to my hand because I have lost count of how many times my phone slipped out of my hands.
If not for the sound that my phone makes when it hits the floor, I never would have known that it slipped off my hands.

I can’t write all of the experiences I’ve had, but please I need help! I’m tired of carrying a book Jotter/planner around, and I’m tired of setting an alarm for something small like “TAKE THE CUP BACK TO THE KITCHEN".

HELP ME!

Try to eat foods rich in vitamin B-12 , and also omega-3 ( fish oil). You can also get them in the form of supplements either from a pharmacy or supplement stores. Reduce intake of foods that cause inflammation and also indulge in some form of physical activities (exercise).

Hello everyone

Kudos to everyone taking out precious time to help out on this forum. May God almighty bless all our endeavours.

A friend want to apply to NAIT- Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, but she wants to be sure if the college is good(reputable).

Is there someone who knows about NAIT and its reputation here. I would appreciate your recommendations.

NAIT is a very good college located in Edmonton in the province of Alberta. Its is a Designated learning institution (DLI) and international students who graduate from NAIT and studied a program that takes a minimum duration of 8 months to complete are qualified to apply for post graduation work permit (PGWP).
So she can go ahead to apply.

Hi everyone
My younger sister got admitted to Brandon University,Winter session. She applied for her visa in October,eligibility review started in the first week of December ever since no update. We've sent several e-mails some of which they have responded to, the same responses ; excessive applications .........
Now since she can't meet up with this semester she plans to defer. But the concern is if she can defer the admission to fall which should have been her second semester or does deferrals only have to be in sessions(that is to say she can only defer to another session which starts in January 2023). I would also like to know if her admission would be valid for a whole year/session ( Jan 2022-jan 2023) in which case she wouldn't need to defer
We've texted the appropriate authorities but they are yet to respond

Check their website to see if the program she wants to study has a Fall intake. If it does, then she can request to defer to the Fall intake.

Filanodivine:
Okay boss, the tuition for one year is 18,000 CAD aside housing and living expenses. It’s a 2 years Post Bacc program. I’m single and will be applying for myself only. Thank you guys

Total cost for the 2yrs would amount to $36,000CAD
Housing and living for 2yrs will be $20,000CAD
Other cost like flight ticket would be approximately $1,000 (just an estimate) could be more or less.
So all together we have $57,000CAD.
So to be safe you should have a total of at least between $57,000 to $60,000 for the duration of your program.
Yes your in law can be your sponsor but to be able to convince the consular officer that he will be supporting you financially it's better if he transferred the money to your account as a gift and provide documents or you opening a GIC account with a financial institution in Canada by depositing the money there.
Lastly you need to convince the consular officer that,
. You have strong ties back home.
. That that the total money to be spent on your studies would be available for the duration of study.
. The program of study would lead to academic progression or job advancement (if working already)
Lastly don't forget about writing a strong ,well detailed and convincing LOE to address all the points stated above even after providing documents .
If u clear all this hurdles you have a good chance.
Goodluck .

Filanodivine:
Gurus please I’m still waiting for answers ��

For you to get help you need to first share with us;
. The cost of tuition for the program (per year)
. How long will the program last (year)
. If married will you be applying alone or with Husband and kids ( if any).
Once you supply all these info. You will get help here I guarantee you.

Thank you sooooo much. God bless you!

Abeg, gurus in the house, attend to my question.

I am assuming he will be attending College of the Rockies. Just go to YouTube and type in the search box Downtown Cranbrook . British Columbia and you will find a lot of videos of how the city looks like. Make sure to include british Columbia in the search so it doesn't include videos of Cranbrook Uk

AbiolaSYA:
Hi guys. Please has anyone flown British Airways recently? Please I want to book a flight to Toronto for my mother and she has a stopover at heathrow. Does she need a transit visa or I can go ahead and book it? Also, is there any other thing I need to do? Thank you.

She doesn't need a transit visa as long as she is not going to leave the airport while she is in the UK , and she will leave UK for Canada same day. You can click on the link below to answer a few questions to help understand further.

tuneao:
The co-op requirement is confusing…pls explain

When applying for your study permit online you will get to a point where you would find a question asking if your study involves coop or if applying for coop , All you have to answer is YES. According to the mail you got it is already stated in your LOA that your study involves Coop.

A good Samaritan should come to my aid please

.

A friend of mine that will be travelling from Abuja next week to Ottawa bought Qatar airways. That was the cheapest he could find and it cost him €500 economy class. Abuja- Doha 3hrs wait time then Doha - Montreal 45 mins wait time Montreal- Ottawa.
You can do the conversion from €500 to Naira to find out how much it will amount to

Nelson2k:
Thanks for your contribution, I really appreciate. My home ties is my landed property, not married yet

Great ! then include it. But just make sure you draft a very convincing SOP . There are people in this forum that are experts in letter writing , you just have to reach out to them for help.

Nelson2k:
Please, since I will be applying for my study permit from South Korea.

Should I swore an affidavit of return here in Korean court of law or can someone help me get it in Nigeria? Thanks

Why do you think swearing an affidavit that you would return would help convince the VO that you will return after your studies? There is no law stopping you from applying for a Canadian study permit outside your country of citizenship, it's just that you stand a better chance of getting the visa from there if you are a permanent resident of that country .
You have to know that overstaying in canada after your Visa expires or studies end is not a criminal offence , so the worst that can happen to you is deportation and ban from the country .
So eventhough you decide to swear an affidavit to return to your country after your study ends and you end up not returning but instead applied for PGWP and then PR later do u now expect them to reject your application because you swore an affidavit in the past? . I would advice that you address any issue concerning home ties by drafting a good SOP that can convince the consular officer that you intend to return home by also including ties if any. Lastly I read sometimes early this week on this forum of a Nigerian applicant that applied from the UAE and got his application approved.
Just do your best and hope for the best.
Good luck

thisdeltagirl:
Pleeeeeaaase some one help me, i beg for an input on this please

this is my circumstance, how do i go about it.
Admission to 2 years pgd.
Tuition 27k for the entire program but i am charged 15k for first year
Piggy vest savings 7m with N6.5m mature to be moved to my account thus week
Sponsor is my sister who is a pr in Canada
Sisters savings 21k cad outside this she is plaining to pay 2k as tuition deposit to show commitment. School did not ask for down payment but she want to show commitment with this and then give me her saving account worth 21k as pof

She is my only sibling but mum is gifting me a land worth over 5 m

How do i go about this, is this proof of funds sufficient or against me? Please help me while I prepare my documents

Cost for the 2 yrs program $27,000 CAD
Money for your feeding and accommodation for 2 years would be $20,000CAD if school is outside the Quebec province, but if it is in Quebec you will need $22,000CAD for the 2years. Together with all this add the cost of your flight ticket to Canada. So if we add all the cost above assuming your school is outside Quebec it would amount to;
$27,000 + $20,000 + $1,000 (flight ticket)= $48,000CAD
so you will need to show at least about $48,000 to $50,000 as proof of fund ,but mind you the more the better.
Even after showing all these you will need to provide documents showing how the money came about and also convince the consular officer that the money would be available to you throughout your study. You will also need to convince the office why you want to study your program of choice and lastly your home ties.
If you can clear all this hurdles you have got a chance.
Good luck.

Marytess:
My people how una dey today

So, I have been trying to pay my application fee and it keep declining. Does anyone know how I can go about pay for my Visa application?

I used the new link

Thanks

Try using a Visa credit card or a Visa prepaid card. Don't use a debit card.

Sheezybobby:
Please Kindly Help me out.

Is it my Waec Original Certificate I will tender as my Secondary School Transcript or will I have to collect the whole secondary school results, because I did not go to one school in Secondary School

Alot of schools in Canada do ask for Nigerian applicants to send a copy of WAEC result and WAEC scratch card( pin) to enable them in checking the WAEC result from the WAEC website to confirm if the result is authentic.

Anifowoshehabee:
As in work in canada…

To answer your question I need you to understand that a study permit is issued to you for the purpose of study and not to work , hence it isn't a work permit.
You are only allowed to engage in part time work in Canada with your study permit after you have started classes . So if you arrive in Canada and after collecting your study permit you contact your college and defer your program for any reason best known to you, the law made it clear that you must inform IRCC , secondly your school can only defer your admission if you are inside Canada if your reason for deferring fall under certain conditions set out by IRCC. Conditions such as;
. You fell seriously sick when you arrived.
. You lost a very close family member .
. Pregnancy if you are a female.
. Due to closure of your school because of strike.
. Or if the school shifted the start date.
And it shouldn't last for more than 150 days before you start studies again and it is important to note that you are not allowed to work during this time. But if you intend to defer your study for more than 150days you would be required to leave Canada and wait for more than 6 months after you left Canada to be able to apply for a new study permit with a new LOA for you to start your studies again.
So you see in both cases you still won't be able to make a dime and rather you will only spend money and waste your time.
So your friend over there telling you he did it isn't being sincere with you and only wants you to involve yourself into some kind of illegality that will only land you into serious problems at the end.
Below is a link that explains everything.
Good luck.

@kemi @makano @frankrobnn

Defer his admission and then work in Nigeria or Canada?

Was in an online interview or a physical interview?

Physical interview at the embassy

I applied through an agent. It is an official email address

https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1205&top=31

Bukicious:
I was not asked to bring anything.

Just an interview date, time and venue

Ok your own case is quite different. Someone I know who was invited for interview just like you was told to come along with a copy of the letter and his passport. During the interview he was only asked questions related to what he wrote in his SOP and after the interview he was told to go and that he would be informed of the outcome . But after about a week his visa was approved and he was told to send his passport .
N.B He completed and submitted his study permit application by himself.

Bukicious:
Good evening everyone,
Please I want to ask a question. I have been processing my study permit for Canada but I got a mail for an interview today. What question do they ask? Has anyone experienced this?

According to the letter , were you told to come with a copy of the letter and your international passport?

Onethe:
Good evening people

I am a lawyer with HR experience, I intend to apply for PGD in Human Resource Management (1year) at fanshawe college.
Is this a good move?
Is the college a dli and entitled to PGWP after studies?

Thank you in advance for your prompt responses

Yes the Fanshawe college is a DLI and you are qualified to apply for a PGWP after graduation. Just make sure the program of study takes a minimum of 8 months to complete because any program that takes less than 8 months to complete won't qualify you for a PGWP.
Good luck

kjsoteria:
I received request for an outstanding payment on my application however, After using the link they sent for payment, it wasn’t successful. I’ve used different cards, Nigerian card and foreign one… I’m not sure what other means of payment there is.

Has anyone encountered this before?

Try using a Visa credit card or Visa prepaid card . Alot of ppl seem to have problems with debit cards.

Jbrighto:
What do you think i should do pls. I am really bothered. I don't know wen or how to go about it

I answered a similar question 2 days back or so. Generally speaking you are allowed to change program of study and it doesn't have to be in the same school or change school in one province to a school in another province . But make sure your new school is also a designated learning institution (DLI).
The law made it clear that if you change school before travelling to Canada after getting your study permit approved ; you need to inform IRCC and apply for a new study permit using the new LOA from the new school. But if your plan is to change program or school when you get to Canada then to be on a safe side it's better to attend the old school for some weeks at least, withdraw from the program then switch to your new school . In this second case you still need to alert IRCC via their portal.
