Many thanks for your response.....However, the issue that I have is how then will I explain to the Visa officer what I went to do in the UK because that will be so obvious considering the study gap and travel history

Canadahopeful23:

Hi guys I have a quick question. Travelling from the UK to Canada month end. Paid my full 1 year tuition of 12k canadian dollars, I'm thinking of taking 3000 canadian dollars and around 4000 pounds. Do you think it'll be alright at the POE?

nnamdi346:
Guys please,

if one submits a bank statement during visa processing and wants to pull some of the funds into an investment account, is it advisable?

Do I need to send the investment certificate to the visa officer before they realise that part of the funds have been pulled out?

Dreamgirl2222:
Good morning everyone,I have been a ghost viewer for a while now,I will like to commend the top dogs in the forum, you guys rock👍.I started my application process three weeks back I applied to 4 schools
-conestoga college
-norquest college
-Cambrian college

I just got informed that Cambrian and conestoga denied my application because I have more than 7fs in my transcript (my Gpa is on the low side 2.38
I am still expecting feed back from norquest and Nbcc hasn’t started application process for 2024 intakes
I will love if anyone who has gone through a similar situation to assist me on which schools to apply for while I wait for the other two schools.

Hello Gurus,

Please I need your genuine advice and opinion on this. I initially made payment to an institution in the UK, but I couldn’t make it to the UK and my money was refunded to my account because the school asked me if I was refused visa before and I told them Yes I was refused Uk visiting visa back in 2017, that was the reason I didn’t apply for the UK visa anymore.

I didn’t apply for UK visa and the school refunded my tuition deposit of 8,000pounds to my naira account which came in as lump sum 4,130,0000. Now I want to submit my application for Canada. I already explained in my SOP that the lump sum was a returned fund from the school in initially applied to in the UK.

My question now is. Is it advisable to attach the telex copy of the initial debit to the school in my document or I should ignore. I don’t want to do anything that will implicate me.

Kindly note I also declare in my Canada application my previous visa denial as well.

Waiting for your replies

Thanks

Hey guys! Been soo long here! I really cannot remember how long it has being.

Today 2nd April 2033 makes it exactly 1 year of me been in Canada. And all I can say is that it's only been God, support and encouragement from my family back home and the family I already created here in Canada. How I have been surviving? I don't know! It's only God!

Cause without him, I wouldn't be writing this epistle right here.

The struggle has been hard, crazy, intense, lots to learn, combining working and going to school (even the jobs ain't easy to come by). God has been faithful to me, brought good people around me (Nigerians) because really, good people are hard to find here. Over here, nobody has time for you, nobody really cares about you. Everybody's trying to survive, everyone's almost lost in the struggle. That friend wey you think say na your bestie, ask am for $50 and watch as e go tell you him life history come run leave you in seconds.

Guys don't believe anyone who tells you Canada is all bed of roses! It is a fat lie!!! Canada is not for the faint hearted!!! Nothing is easy to get here, you must work like a donkey and follow due process to get anything you want.

When I was in Nigeria, I have never worked like the way I do here! Even the school wey them dey tell us that year say e easy pass primary school, I can categorically tell you that our education at home is decades away from what they're doing here. The education system here can make you mad! Most especially if you don't make enquiries and also ask questions (follow who know road) you'd be lost! I almost lost it in my first semester, till I began to ask questions.

For the work aspect, guys, don't mind those nonsense people keep saying, say "work full Canada", Zero your mind you might not do anything here for months. Even if you see something doing, you'd do everything you've never done in your life. There's no Job I've not done in this country, I think the only Job I haven't done is to wash dead body, which I'll never do. ☠️

Be prepared to be humbled. Jobs you feel you could never ever do in Nigeria, be prepared to do them here, unless you came into the country with a sh*t pile of cash, but if you're like us, wey tell IRCC say we get 100K USD for the account 😂 then you have to be prepared to do all sort of things just to survive.

I know lots of people who haven't done anything in more than 5 months here. Living with their Naira's from Nigeria. Like I said, don't be deceived by what you see on the Internet on how excess jobs in Canada. The good jobs here, nobody's ready to leave it, especially those Indians (I call them Fulani Herdsmen) those Herdsmen are everywhere like flies! Every nook and cranny, them dey, and trust me, na them dey get update pass, but never trust them, they'll boot you off when they have the chance!

For the weather aspect, I live in British Columbia. It's fair to say it's the warmest province in the whole of Canada. But when I mean warm don't think Nigerian warm or South African warm. Warm in the sense that were currently on 3°C and during extreme weather conditions it could get to like - 14°C. Don't forget freezing point for your freezer na 0°C so literally, we live inside freezer.
I stayed in Toronto for about 4 months and the weather is way more extreme than British Columbia. Good thing is for those coming in this April, the weather has gotten better, but is still gonna be so cold for newcomers. So please come prepared with good winter dresses.

Another thing is this, guys don't do the mistake of coming to Canada without any $$$, abeg come with something to support yourself for sometime, e dey very important. You don't wanna come here and start begging, you need funds to survive as a first timer. It's extremely important.

Mehn, it's being a journey for me here, trust me, so many ups and downs, if I tell people, them go tell me say better days dey come... Like this, I still dey find that better days oh! 😭 But God dey..

Thanks to SEUN for this platform! Without Nairaland, my journey to Canada wouldn't be possible. I also thank all the good people who assisted me during my process e no easy! Lianna, lekiboeboe, I can't remember the rest... Y'all are the real OGs!
By the grace of God, it'll rain PPR for everybody here! This thread 22 is gonna be your thread of testimonies! If you believe say a big AMEN!!!
Those refused, please don't give up! You know what you want, restrategise and hit them again! Trust me, you're gonna get it right this TIME! Na who give up fu*k up! I'm rooting for you!

If you're coming to UCW or Vancouver and need information on anything kindly reach out to me, I'd do my best in explaining everything and anything to you.

Thanks for reading my long story guys. Have a lovely night rest ❤️

Arctope:
Hello guys, please I have a question.... I applied for a 1 year .. college certificate course in the Centennial and conestoga college. I intend to take another 1 year course or maybe another 2 year masters course after completing my first college course.
The reason why I'm going for college is because I am self sponsored and my savings is 40,000 CAD. Tuition fee is around 13 - 18k cad. So I have 20k for living expenses.

Course Studied : Architecture
CGPA : 3.90

My question is this

1. if I take another 1 year course after completing the first one... will I be eligible for 3 year pgwp?
2. Is the 40k cad be enough fund to convince the VO As a self sponsored for a 1 year course of 17k tuition.?
3. if I decide to go for 2 years masters after completing the first one. Will it be easy to extend my study permit while in Canada after completing my first course.

Pls I need help from gurus thank you!

Welsh2np:



Yep, what?

If you’ve not gotten a feedback from IRCC yet, then wait.

But like the others said, it may result to you and your spouse returning to your country of citizenship to apply.

Welsh2np:


You’ve not been refused yet, right?

ActivatedDreams:


My view, Since you don’t have strong home ties in Uk you have to come back to Nigeria to re apply.

But still wait for others to respond

Bamz555:

Sorry for the refusal. U can dm me if interested

Bobomaigida:


Based on their website.

So was your application a paper application or your submitted online?

Bobomaigida:


Do you mean you submitted physically at London?

If the application has not passed 10 weeks, which is the current processing time, then no need to be anxious.

Cath1234:

But I have remove the money from the fixed deposit already but I still have the certificate which indicate it will expire in April 27th , Can I take the certificate along and say when I open my bank account over there my bank officer will do international transfer to my account because I have authorized them to by signing all the documents ?

heywhytech1:


I did Biometrics on March 13th
Then they sent this message on 14th
Pl

Mar 14, 2023
We sent you a message about your application
Read the message carefully and take appropriate action as necessary.

Can the message contain medical institutions?

heywhytech1:
I gave my application to an agent to handle it for me due to the issues of POF. He applied on February 23. I went for biometric on March 13th. Since then I have not heard anything from him. Today I just decided to check my application status through : Application Status tracker. And I discovered they sent this on 14th, meanwhile the agent is not aware. Now I can't reach him. Please what do you think this message can contain

Bobomaigida:


IRCC has developed their system such that no one can predict their ways, so there is no specific time allotted for a particular stage, they could all be working in the background. I think since you are in the UK they might not request for medicals but just be prepared in case they ask.

Bamz555:

They will definitely ask for medicals. Just chill and give time nd be prayerful while waiting. They will soon request for medicals nd it will change from “you do not need a medical exam” to “we have requested for a medical exam check your message”
All d best
