A 5year old can start school in Canada but for an infant the option is daycare, And the cost of daycare is expensive which is about 500 CAD per month or more.

I am also taking my 6year old but for an infant ,the expensive will not be easy for her.


Lianna2020:
I think it will be stressful schooling n no one to hold baby for you and nanny i heard is expensive .

I’m actually leaving an infant behind , I’d apply for both of them separately.

I also applied in March.

Kindly go ahead with upfront medical .

It seems it will take them forever to request for medical.


Queen6996:
Hello everyone i have a question
I submitted my application on 11th March
Biometrics 15th march
And almost 3month, my profile still shows that
They have not started my eligibility
I have not received any medical request.
This whole process is mentally draining and i don't know if delays are a good sign or bad

It depends on your grade.

I also applied to school and was also given a scholarship.

Ask you student recruiter Advisor for what your qualify for.

MBA Shows a great Career Progression.

Affordability is relative

MBA in Canada is not cheap. You can also check Vancouver Island Univesity.

Also Check the last thread info as seen below.

@lekiboboe, and other gurus, please help me with which is the best study progression for someone with 2.1 in Industrial and Labor Relations from a reputable university here in Nigeria and work experience in Sales Representative (Telecoms), should go for in Canada, with a study gap of 8 years.
She's looking at MBA but I advised her to let us hear from the gurus for a good choice of study.
Schools with low tuition fee should also be put in consideration.
Thank you all while we're awaiting your responses.

EDUCATION MOST ESPECIALLY IN CANADA IS A LIFE TIME INVESTMENT Think about your End goal. if you have the money for it , then I will prefer you choose CA.

But CA Study visa is not just about the money. Do you have all that it takes?



Spectro:


Bro, what would you advise I do?

I have been accepted for graduate program in Economics by two universities.

One is giving me scholarship and GA, but it's in the US

One is not providing me full-funding but it's in Canada (just 30% funding)

I have no problem with paying tuition in Canada, but who doesn't like Awoof?

Canada's citizenship package makes sense.

If you had to choose with these conditions, which would you take?

Ysakaws1:
PPR JUST DROPPED!

My application journey is quite interesting, and I promised to share here if I get a PPR. So firstly, I applied using an agent. As a matter of fact, I got admission using one agent, and got the visa using another agent. My application made me come to the conclusion that using an agent is truly not worth it. Imagine that I paid 300k just to get a PGD admission in University of Winnipeg. Bygone, anyways - lucky agent. After my admission, I switched to another agent because my Dad, who previously didn’t show interest, decided to be involved. The second agent came through my dad (he paid the agent 250k or so) - he was recommended by my uncle. I gave him the LOA I paid 300k for, and he requested me to write my LOE. I was able to write a good LOE with the help of Google, and of course, Nairaland. I am sure you are wondering what exactly this agent was paid to do, if both LOA and LOE came from me. Me sef dey wonder lol.

APPLIED - DECEMBER 7
BIOMETRICS - DECEMBER 8

Na where wahala start be this. The whole journey was mentally exhausting. This agent fit make person crase with obvious lies and pretense. Want to make this as short as possible, so let me just drop one example. The agent was supposed to have applied long before the time he did. So we pressured him till he lied and made a fake medical request letter. In his own letter, the medical has to be done in 90 days, instead of the usual 30 days. Note that biometrics had not been done then oh. He also gave us fake biometrics appointment letter one time, and when the day came, he said IRCC has technical issues, and he would have to book another date. Basically, my whole journey with this agent was filled with altercations and mistrust. It got to a point, all we wanted was access to the portal, but this agent was giving stories like he didn’t know the password offhand, and he would find it. Moving on...

ORDERED GCMS - MARCH 27

Fast forward to April ending, I hadn’t heard anything from this agent. Was checking this thread regularly and seeing even January applicants receive PPR. I decided to message this agent to remind him. This was when the agent logged into my portal and saw that I got medical request 8 days before.

MEDICAL REQUEST - APRIL 14

Finally, he was confident about the application, and dropped the login details even without asking him.

MEDICALS DATE - APRIL 27

I was eager to get the PPR, and was checking my portal like every hour after I did the medicals. On the morning of April 29, I opened my portal, GUESS WHAT I SAW? Booooom! Procedural Fairness Letter - I wanted to faint even before opening the PFL.

PROCEDURAL FAIRNESS - April 29

I opened the PFL, and what I saw was that the VO has concerns that my Dad’s statement of account is not genuine. I am to prove that it is genuine in 15 days, or I get 5 years ban. I was destabilized and scared to the bone. A lot ran through my mind in milliseconds.“ Could it be that this guy used a fake SOA, instead of the one we gave him?” “Could it be that he altered some transactions?” Picked up the phone to call this agent, and for like 2 hours, his number was switched off. I started feeling like he already saw the PFL, and was on the run.

Finally, we reached him, and he assured us that he used the SOA we gave him. He told us to go to the bank for MBS, and give IRCC a SOA that shows transactions till the date of the PFL. We did that immediately, but how could I trust someone who once gave us fake medical request and biometrics appointment letter?

I became restless since that minute I saw the PFL, and even after submitting MBS, I couldn’t still sleep or do anything. I was literally checking my portal uncountable times in a day.

MEDICAL PASSED - MAY 1

This should have been an update that would have made me rest assured of finally leaving this Nigeria, but I remained unhappy and restless because of the PFL.

GCMS NOTE RECEIVED - MAY 3

Finally, GCMS note came in yesterday night before I slept. Saw that everything has been passed. I also saw that instructions have been given that I get a study permit till 2023. Lastly, it was in the GCMS note that IRCC had messaged my Dad’s bank to confirm if the SOA is genuine, and they got response from the bank that it is genuine. This happened since the beginning of April.

THEN WHY ON EARTH DID IRCC GIVE ME PFL ON APRIL 29 Shaey IRCC dey whyne me ni

The more I thought about the whole issue, the more it becomes obscure. I search Google tire to see if anybody don face the same issue before, but I no see anything.

To God be the glory sha, I opened my portal 12pm today, and I saw ORIGINAL PASSPORT REQUEST! Booomshakalaka!!!!

Till now, I can’t explain what happened concerning that PFL thing, but I just thank God. I no even wan understand again sef lol. Thanks to everyone doing a good job here. You all will be forever appreciated.

CORRESPONDENCE LETTER & PPR - MAY 4

I am also going to UCW for MBA in OCT
I applied March 19

Got NSE request on the 25th and submitted it.

Waiting for Medical request but will go ahead and do upfront medical too next week.



mrkingz:



Same here too; MBA at UCW this summer. Applied Jan 22. NSE submitted March 10. Upfront medical March 10. UFM updated to pass March 15. Sent web form & emails as per exceeded standard processing time, and they replied me with the ''your application is under active review..'' msg.
Thinking of requesting for my GCMS. And if July 5th is going to be realistic for UCW prospectives, then we need a feedback before June 15 if we have to make it in & finish the 14days quarantine before orientation begins.. (my calculation)

This too will end in praise.
So be it!

We got chatting via WhatsApp, I asked him to send details. He was forming different stories

I blocked him immediately.

Admin @Oliadeo7 just tried to scam me of 1.5m.
I know there are people trying to get help here. But take everything slowly. Don't be eager and get duped. He gave me rate of 340 to 1 cad and I fell for it. Not knowing that this guys is a scam. He paid the fees. Waiting for me to send the money to a Nigerian account that is not in his name and passport id doesn't have the same name nor does he has the same name on number. I told someone in Canada to call the number he gave me and he didn't pick and later called him to a private number. +12363614295. Thats his number. He said he graduated from ubc. He has pr. All na lie. Please be careful. This are the pictures given to me. Please be careful out there.

I have done all these.

My sponsor has his 6 months First bank statement and a strong reference letter from the Bank.

Information reaching me is mybankstatement is very critical to the process.

My agent showed me people that have done it from First Bank.

I also called Mybankstatement customer care number and I was told even though First bank is not listed there, that you can also send your estatement from firstbank (I mean this is first bank). and it is done from their HQ in Lagos. but a mail needs to me sent from the branch.


Travel / Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 18 by nifnifemi: 5:18pm On Apr 15, 2021
First bank is not among the listed bank .

Check the link to see the bank that gives MBS
https://www.visa-mybankstatement.com/

Also if your bank is not listed, you can still ask the bank to give you 1year bank statement with a cover letter from the bank stating the authentication of the statement .

All the best.

You don't need to wait for 6mths. It is called migration. My old passport will expire by August 2022 and I did a renewal in Feb 2021. And the old one was destroyed
You will pay about 5k extra for the migration process plus the amount you will get a new passport . Did mine at Ikoyi passport office
If you don't have time on your side, when you get to Canada you can renew it.

MsJanez01:


Hi. Congratulations. Please when did u apply?

Aspa your passport expiration, from my little understanding... you can't apply for a renewal until you passport is 6months to expiration. If you must, I understand u must go to Abuja and currently booklets are not available. I know someone that has been waiting for passport renewal for a month now. So like someone advised, renew ur passport and permit in Canada.

If you enrol for a year program, you’ll get 1 year PGWP which I heard it’s not enough for PR

The only option available is to apply for another 1 year program before you finish the first program. So that you can be eligible for at least 2years PGWP.
