Hello everyone
Please has anyone here with visitor visa status in Canada successfully applied for a study permit while in Canada? A family relative is in a dilemma because she was denied study permit while here in Canada based on insufficient funds and that the purpose of visit is not consistent with a temporary stay based on what she provided in her application. Please note that she had paid the full tuition fee for the one year program plus approx N10M in her account.

One other thing is that she stated her Nigerian address as her residence but someone said she should have used her current address in Canada. The reason she did that was because of the belief that she is not eligible to apply for study permit from inside Canada. Note that she is still within her 6month validity as a visitor.

Must she go back to Nigeria to reapply? We can address the financial concerns raised, it's just navigating this issue on a visitor status that is our main concern. Her husband and kids are back in Nigeria and are worried as well.

Thanks

I would say it is very risky to reapply while in Canada because staying too long on that visit visa is not safe, what if the second application was rejected..... And the 6months is already near, to reenter Canada will be tough!
To even get approval on the student visa will be tough also.

I would suggest she exit Canada immediately and run the student visa from Nigeria.

That Canada visit visa will even be a plus for her.....

On own humble opinion o, not necessary mean she should follow suit

ItzRay:
Plz avoid egyp.t air o, i heard from a reliable source that transited through egyp.t air to canada that their immigration do chase people back home at egyp.t sometimes.

Yes they do extra check on passengers and if all your documents are complete and genuine, there's nothing to be worried about.
They have no right to send someone back if everything is ok

OralBoy:
Thank you very much. Can I book one way for Turkish and transit visa isn't required right?

Yes you can
Transit visa not required but check if your layover is only in istanbul

Good morning guys! I submitted my passport at VFS Lagos, but below was the information I got when I used the tracking ID to track it. Although, I haven’t receive collection email yet, but my surprise is that the passport is in Abuja. Is this normal?

“The decision envelope for your application, tracking ID No. 2xxxxxx has been received from the IRCC Office on 2023/xxxx at the Canada Visa Application Centre, Abuja and is ready for collection. Your decision envelope will be returned to you via the courier service offered by the VAC.”

You will receive another email later today or tomorrow stating that your passport is ready for collection at Lagos application centre.

OralBoy:
Hi everyone. I am supposed to travel to London Ontario for May Intake. I have a few questions and I would really love for someone to attend to me.

First of all, what airline is best for a trip from Lagos to Ontario. Someone adviced me to use AirFrance but the reviews I have seen Nigerians give online is frightening. From things like missing luggage to refusal to board due to a lack of return ticket. Qatar airways is outrageously expensive.

Secondly, which of the airports in Ontario should I choose. I keep seeing acronyms like YYZ, YTZ and YTO. Thank you.

Choose YYZ Pearson international.

For the ticket, check Egyptair/Turkish air

Alistervibes:
How can you confirm this?

Yes I have

Kamsi99:
Please is VFS lagos still conducting biometrics amidst this Abuja fire issue? Anyone here did biometrics yesterday, today or two days ago in lagos VFS location ?

Please say something.. THANKS

Abuja embassy is back in operation

Dum20:
Bro,

How much is dollar now?


The best thing is to look for opportunities on how to make money from the situation whether it goes up or down.

The people that have the power to make naira to gain value do not care.

Dum again 🙄

I'm speechless 😶

Facosco:
under the table job is also available in Canada but it’s illegal

Agent will still request for your working permit before giving you the cash job.

Awardd:
😂😂😂 that's means succeess rate of VV to WP is very low, to get LMIA not easy as well, may Almighty lead us to promise land & straight path..

Personally I don't see VV as a better visa honestly..

It's strictly for genuine visitors

Tegnaworld23:
Oga I fit tell u 1 or 2 things wey una fit do. This canada visa no hard as people dey see am, I'm not an agent and I won't ask anyone 1 kobo. But for now canada is a bit of struggle because to get a job these days no easy I have been here for 4 months on student visa and never get a job and I have my hommie boy we got here together who is doing 2 jobs now. The truth is, if you be Street I mean one that can endure and have cash to survive for some times till u get a job, yes u can come to canada but if not, I go advise u stay back home. I never see work and I don spend cash over 3k self. Whatever u wanna know about d student processing routes ask me. I don't know about getting an admission ooo, but when u get ur LOA I can advise u on documentation n SOP.

But there is survival/menial job everywhere in Ontario.
Warehouse, bakery etc thou it's tough no doubt.

emmanuelewumi:
If you are saving for a long term expenses you better do it in a stable currency.


The Koko is the long term sustainability of the current appreciation of the local currency

You are right oga Emma.

But buying dollar with naira now for savings is not advisable.

pizapato:
Lol

Chief we are still far off o. We never even reach sub 900. It is my prayer that I comes down to 700 and remains stable there. The instability of naira is not beneficial to anyone because it makes planning and projection very difficult

Truth that...
Naira might not be stable this year no doubt but I'm sure of next year, by February... I believe we will have a stronger naira!

dealhunter:
na WA oOoOO!....even after school,limia job still not easy to secure,omo,I need to think twice before embarking on this journey!.....me wey I no Sabi book!

Are you planning to migrate via visit visa?

If you can secure student visa, jus go for it without thinking twice.... opportunities abound

josephb:
Hi,

I sincerely like the bolded and I think I spoke about this in my last few comments.

But permit me to remove UK out of the list.

Regards,

Really.... but in UK, with visit visa,,,, people still do under the table job for survival....

dealhunter:
na wa oooo,this one is deep oooo,,so, what's purpose of Japa to Canada if you are not sure of securing a good job!

Good job?

Enter via student visa, get certificate and hope for the best.... Na 50 50.
Securing LMIA job after study is even hard.

I don't understand the media hype about Canada sef.
USA, UK and some European countries dupe pass Canada honestly.

But if we keep talking, we might be tagged as enemy.

For those japping with visit visa,,, all I can say is all the best o 🚶🚶🚶

Athena6:
Thanks for the advice, I have sold it this morning, I lost about 500k but it's better to have peace of mind than always checking whether the dollar will increase or not.
Anything investments, I am not doing again

Seriously 😳

You no get mind Sha, pls don't go near FX ever again.

Dollar will still rise a lil bit soon but by mid next year, it will stable at 750 or so.

pizapato:
The man with the $1 equals ₦700 hypothesis has come again

Since the time you claimed the true value of naira is ₦700, the value of naira has gone down by 30%

Yes the rate is really high at this time and it appear like it is risky to buy now. Nonetheless, any pull back will only put the rate at around 1k. Even if you buy at 1200, chances of making a loss in 6 months time is very slim. there is a high chance dollar will exchange for 1600 in six month times

Without obvious cuts in cost of governance, naira is not going to appreciate. Bulaba and his crew to still went to the US to waste $500k not too long ago, even when the country is cash strap.
That's the one we hear of, what of other frivolous spending we don't get to hear of

Oga

I predicted 700/USD

Are we not getting close?

What do you have to say now 😊

People still never understand that getting a LMIA sponsorship job is almost impossible in Canada.

I dont see the dollar going back to 1k naira ever again.

It's currently at 940

Matix222:
Yeah I didn’t buy that much but Omo e go still choke me oo if rate fall

I just looseguard if not I for don trade am since when I been get profit

If you can watch and sell when you will recover your money back, pls do.
I expected dollar to start rising now till December but if it does not happen and by January, dollar will fall yakata for ground.

Matix222:
Dollar is falling o I pray I don’t regret my decision at the long run oo

I hope you don't buy much thou?

The truth is, dollar will keep falling.

This is the time I expect naira to keep falling, December is close but reverse is the case

iykewright:
My dear, I think it's beyond skills. I personally have some skills that should probably helpe me transit quickly. I can drive, cook, I own a registered business in Nigeria that is into painting and paint production with over 15yrs of experience. Lmia job is not easy to get

Do you jus want to try your luck and see if LMIA job is feasible or you really want to dump your registered business of 15yrs back in Nigeria?

Voltron007:
1* is warm? Well, me I can’t come and go and die 😅
Despite wearing 3 sweaters plus a winter jacket looking like a terrorist, I’m still freezing.

Haha 😂
Freezing with 3 sweaters plus jacket on?
The weather is even nice 1° C

You will learn 😂🤣🤣

Voltron007:
4:46 am. Waiting for bus. Heading to work. 1 degrees. Extremely cold.

AllDModsAreMaad:

The closing rate at that window is #993/$, go and check it for your sef abeg.

As for the black market rate, I don't know about that for now.

Alright o
But I'm following the rate back to back both official and unofficial.

Peace out 🙏

Miravik900:
I’m still hoarding

Alright brother...

Good luck

AllDModsAreMaad:
Are you for real?

When the official rate is #993/$(tho I'm not sure of this yet but it depreciated today, what I'm not sure is the precise value)...

Currently, naira is depreciating against pounds and dollar, that is according to my findings both here, on google and on CBN's site.

Shey you dey wyne yourself ni?

Unofficial rate currently stand at 1,150

Official rate closes today at 785
