Hello great people.

I am not an active member on nairaland, over the weekend I decided re-open nairaland and read up updates on student visa, i got to know about bvl and the refusal trend

I applied on the 26th September and just yesterday i got the bvl mail and i started praying for a positive followup, only for me to get the refusal letter now. I am so heart broken. I think i should just forget this Canada thingy, I will just lock up myself and cry, i am so so sad.

Qudkom:

They have DLI number, but sadly don’t offer PGWP eligible programs.

IboBoyNuel:
Good day guys. Thank you all for your contribution. I've learnt A lot hear.

I have just been offered admission into Centennial College to study Global business management for May 2020. It's a two year Graduate Certificate program. I just got the mail today and i haven't paid the tuition deposit of 2300 CAD yet.

I also applied to Durham College for International Business Management but i haven't gotten feedback yet. This one is a 1 year graduate certificate program.

I'll also want to go for my masters in management when I'm done with the programme.

my challenge right now is:

1) if i go for the one year program and then go for masters later, will i b still be eligible for the 3 years PGWPP?

2) bearing in mind i still want to do masters after the program, do you suggest i go for the one year programme or two years programme?

Hello everyone

Please does a passport request mean your visa has been granted?

Olayinkaji:
Which is better, a diploma or a masters degree...

MouthOdor:
Hi people,

Please can someone help me read my Statement of interest before I submit? Just to go through it and make necessary recommendations.

Danke

eightyeight:
You people have started again. What is the source of this information? How many application samples did you look at to arrive at this conclusion?

It will be better and smart not to cause hysteria by passing wrong information around. Please let's all do better.

Linzo:
Hey fellow aspirants, I'd figure one of the major reasons for rejection especially in the masters program for Nigeria students.
The major reason for refusal is school of your undergraduate, Visa officers give credence to your undergraduate university. Have you notice that graduates from UNN, Unilag, Unibadan, convernent and top five universities are hardly refuse Visa? Most of the refusals are graduates for lesser universities especially private schools.
If you're not from the aforementioned schools please do well to constructively package your application. Take note

Chukwuemekatehi:
Did she get the admission herself or an agent helped her with it?

Frankrobbn1:


Unofficial Documents will be uploaded during application process. Official Documents including transcipts should be sent by institution of learning via courier.

Ubah007:
Thanks I appreciate but please how long did it take for them to return the passport?

Ubah007:
Please I’m trying to track my passport after submission since Thursday it keeps on saying no records found.

JustMellow:


Hello Orlarshaynee,

To the first bolded, your observation is absolutely correct. That time frame was before IRCC made secondary verification after PPR mandatory. In most cases, a submitted passport could stay beyond 2wks or more, depending the case.

To the second bolded, congratulations. You scaled through the secondary verification.

Congratulations!

RealTrump:


Whick kain kwashiorkor email be this? That school specifically asked you to tell a Prof. WHY u want to join their Lab.

1. I'm a young researcher...wetin concern her with your age?
2. I graduated from unilag...unilag na Harvard?
3. I am fascinated with your research... fascinated by what exactly?
4. I want you to mentor me... excuse me, who r u?
5. I will be grateful...send your thanks to God not me.

Your strongest point is your research publications...use it. And read up her work.

Ubah007:
Please how long does it take for a a passport to get stamped and sent back after submission

Your chances of securing a visa to Canada are good provided that you're able to explain your passion for business, and also try as much as you can to link your previous internship experiences during your undergraduate studies in agricultural economics with your current job role as a business owner. Explain extensively why you need a business management Certificate and it's benefits to your career and home country. Once you can be able to come up with convincing reasons behind the aforementioned, then you're close to your visa success.

IboBoyNuel:


Yea. Thank you. I'm thinking a Graduate Certificate in maybd Global business management or business management.

What are my chances of getting my visa approved?

I'm yet to apply for admission though

I think you're mistaken the applicant's question for a sponsor here in Nigeria. The question is actually referring to a graduate Supervisor in a university in Canada providing full funded scholarship for the applicant's research master's program. Hence all the requirements like international passport, employment letters and statement of account from the applicant's supervisor as suggested by you is not needed here.

As I have rightly said in my previous post, what the applicant needs to show/present is a minimum of 1.2M in his account for his flight itinerary and other miscellaneous expenses that might arise during the course of his studies in Canada and I'm sure he will be fine with this. More so, if the applicant doesn't have upto this amount in his account, he can get a sponsor that will present a bank statement of 5M upwards since he is a fully funded applicant.

Cc: Xenyth, be properly guided!

Freshprince777:
Good morning all, pls how long does it take to get a refund from a school in canada(Evergreen college). They asked me to send refusal letter and refund form which I sent to them since on the 2nd October.

Thanks

Xenyth:
Hello house. will I have to provide any form of proof of fund if my supervisor is offering me full funding with tuition fee cover and a stipend of 25000CAD per year which is more than what I need in a year?

chucs:
Goodmorning everyone. Please pardon me if my question may seem like i'm drawing anyone backwards. It is as a result of how urgent I needed the information.

Please I want to know if a family friend can sponsor me for a Canadian study program? He lives in Uk and he is a citizen.

I also want to know if he can sponsor two persons at ones.
I will really be glad to get a favourable reply.

MUN19:
Then only Digital Photo should be in JPG, the rest document in PDF files right?

Sophiesteve:
Wow congratulations.
Please what did you use as home ties

More TRV success by Gods grace

MUN19:
CONGRATULATIONS... pls which one is the additional files, is it the same with Client information/ Optional documents? Pls urgent answers. .

Orlarshaynee:
Update: As I finished posting the previous message, I got an email from CIC to check my online app. I did and saw a biometric correspondence letter. I’m just hoping for the best. My application is currently over 8 weeks.

Obehi44:
Hello house,

My school sent this email saying admission has been revoked, stating that either tuition was not paid or other reasons.
Though this was the same admission that was used for the previous visa application that was refused in Sept.
But I honestly forgot or forgot to check that there was a set date (Oct 15, 2019) to pay the balance(after paying the $1500) tuition fee for the first semester (admission is for Jan 2020).

Now, visa application is on and just completed 2 weeks. Medical is upfront and showing "we are reviewing the result of your medical".

My question now is, what do i do concerning the school? Contact them? If so, what do I say? Will they still allow me to pay?

Will this have effect or affects the visa process?

Ubah007:
Did you do upfront medicals?
