Thank you!

bullstriker:
In addition to what @Chocs has mentioned, get an enrolment letter from the school before leaving. You must be registered for courses to get an enrolment letter.

Thanks a lot for this!

Chocs:
Hi there,

I had someone who had an issue because they were resuming late (~2 weeks late). The official tried to contact the school to verify that the person was genuinely a student and was allowed to start late but couldn’t get through to them. His saving grace was the fact that he had reached out to professors via email informing them he’d be starting late and had asked that they shared assignments or any relevant info with him which they did. He completed assignments from Naija and submitted them via email. When the officials couldn’t reach his school via phone, he showed them these email conversations and he was allowed to come in.

Schools usually have their policy on late resumption, it’ll be helpful to check with them what the allowed last date for resumption is.

Cheers

Hi Please, can someone tell me if Canadian Border officials will cause problems for you if you arrive Canada after the start of classes? Booking flights for next week is very difficult and VISA was just collected on Monday.

Thanks.

I’m a PhD applicant and didn’t get an invite. I’m really sad because I was relying on this.

Hi Guys,

Please is it compulsory for your work experience to tally with the kind of jobs you will apply for in Canada if you get your PPR?

Will the PPR restrict you to only the types of jobs you say you have experience in (the letters of recs used)?

Bsbabe:
Yes it will count as 1 year work experience.

Hi guys,

Good Work here.

This thread is really helpful.

Please I have a question. I am about to start the process. I have 1 year work experience, 6months each in 2 different companies. The job description is exactly the same.

Please do you think this will count as "continuous work experience", since that is the condition to qualify for this immigration program?

I hope someone has an answer to my question.

Looking forward to your reponses.

Ndawe:
Oh wow, it'd have been nice to meet someone off here face to face. Congratulations and I wish you all the best in your new journey

Yeah. Thanks

I wish you the same too.

Hi guys, I hardly comment but I'll just drop my transcript. F1 VISA approved at Lagos consulate. I was interviewed by the new guy in window 2. I actually heard him interview @Ndawe.

VO: Good Morning
ME: Good Morning
VO: Pass me your passport, your I-20 (he checks and sees the stamps on my old passport, keeps checking and found VISAs for UK n US (which is still valid))
ME: Handed them over
VO: You've been to d US before?
ME: Yes, in 2015
VO: You're going to study at Louisiana state university?
ME: Yes
VO: You'll be going for your bachelor's degree?
ME: No, doctorate in Petroleum Engineering
VO: where did u do ur MSc?
ME: UI, Nigeria
VO: What do you do?
ME: I'm a reservoir engineer which is a sub-discipline in petroleum engineering, I model hydrocarbon and reservoir behavior.....
VO: What will u do after ur degree?
ME: I'll return to Nigeria to teach in UI.
VO: How long have u been in ur current place of work?
ME: this is my 4th month but this my 10th month as a reservoir engineer.

VO What does he do?
ME: He is a medical practitioner, specifically a pry healthcare physician who specializes in preventive medicine. He works with ...., a mgt consulting firm in France, they are focused on health care policy projects in many countries...

He mutes the microphone and speaks to his supervisor.
He switches on the mic and the supervisor says, Salam alaykum (smiles) -LSU is a good school.

I responded with a smile and agreed with him.

He gave me a white slip and told me it has been approved.

Thanks be to GOD!

Advice: Be composed and prayerful. Two guys before me were rejected B1B2. The woman behind me was rejected last week by the same VO so she wanted to change queues. Don't fret! Just have faith...

All the best to future interviewees.

Thanks so much @Olumighty, you are trustworthy indeed!

The guy is legit for those wondering how to pay SEVIS fee hitch free.

All the best bro!
