Good evening
I’m a dentist currently looking for opportunities to get a fully funded scholarship for my masters in the US. I would appreciate any ideas of schools to look into and how to go about it. Thank you in advance

Google Universities in the U.S and start sending enquiry email to the graduate admissions office in your department. Explain your over all cgpa, work experiences and other educational feats you possessed that will interest such departments or a possible professor.

How to go about the admission is not hard if you can start this thread from the earlier pages.

U.S. schools are flexible and accessible. They will reply you.

Wow this was fast. Is this the same timeline for PR visa or they prioritize fall study permits?

Even his Ai also exposed his lies. Attached is Ai different answers on the topic. He is having a delusion of grandeur. I bet if he even has a valid travel passport not to talk of canada visa.

Wow. That was quick.
Submitted since 29th and tracked it. It's showing your application has been received and is under process at the IRCC office

Dont mind @Abel Abdul. Check it his own is the quickest and that shows you the scam red-flag. He knows that people re eager to get response once they start their visa application.

Its also a general awareness that If you completed your biometrics at the VFS Global Canada in Lagos or Abuja, your POE letter will typically be processed through regional visa offices in Accra (which handles many West African applications) or Kenya and routed directly to your online account or sent via email. So dont mind him by claiming he got his from Ghana as if its a special preferences.

Abel Abdul is a commercial bus driver in Portharcourt and he is sitting inside his bus right now. He works with travel agents and usually lures innocent people to them. He has been posting 3rd party documents and he will soon be nab.

Ask him to narrate to you how he booked on emirate and how did he make the payment? He is a con man who is always dodging core practical questions.

I submitted my application last Sunday for myself and my son. I already have an existing biometrics which was updated the next day.

But almost 1 week later, they haven't requested my sons biometrics.

Is this normal?

Yes its normal either way round. Your son may not need biometrics depend on his age. Besides, they need time to do background checks on both of you. So your applications is being work on.

Good morning house. I got an approval 3 days ago and I submitted my passport for stamping two days ago. It is for Study Permit. I want to know if it is compulsory to book return flight ticket for study permit holders in Canada. Can I go ahead with just a one-way ticket please? It's urgent as airfares are increasing as September approaches. Any input from our seniors and experienced Students here would be highly appreciated

It was not compulsory before but since last year (2025) it has been highly recommended because no foreign student traveling to Canada with the hope of receiving study permit entry from ircc at the Canada POE is guaranteed the entry.

Booking a return flight ticket as a first time traveller makes the ircc official at the POE rate you as a genuine, financial capable and responsible international student.

Please guys I need your help, I studied An education course for my undergraduate degree and now I’m going for my masters in Canada but still finding it hard to get a school because I graduated with a second class lower (3.13) .. please does anyone have any university in Canada with low tuition that accept second class lower for an education program … please I would appreciate if anyone can recommend any university that can accept that

Do your M.Ed in any Nigerian federal or state University , try hard to patch up your lower cgpa in undergraduate and most importantly you must work and volunteer with professors.

Upon graduation you can then go for Phd in Education which is hot cake in Canada and most countries of the world. It may seem longer but this is your best route. With good cgpa and recommendations from professors and work history you can get full funding on your Phd and the future is always bright for professors either in academia or industrial research.

They said I will download a stamped and certified bank statement via the mobile app and they will provide the supporting letter however IRCC can only reach them for verification via email, not phone.

IRCC can reach them with all their available means thats not a problem. Ask grey if they have being doing it for student visa applicants especially from Africa and if they say affirmative then go ahead. If their explanation is not straight forward then use your local account but i believe they should be honest with you in order to avoid litigation.

That's why before you answer questions here you must clear your eye very well and why must it be like competition to you each time they quote you!!

Were you suposed to quote me ? You were trying to correct me as a champion so that people will start clapping for you 🙄

The original asker said he or she did not see any lodgement narrative in the copy of the statement so its a dicey situation and that was why i refered him/her to the bank. Its a simple logic and if you feel that the op can use it then you have to answer him/her directly. A teacher does not correct another teacher openly (form of disrespect) except if such teacher is teaching in an obviously a wrong way.

Are you familiar with grey.co (registered in Canada with a Canadian Money Services Business license), popular with Nigerian remote workers to receive salary. I have USD stored there. After I pay my tuition in full and I do a GIC for the max amount, will a Grey.co stamped statement with an official supporting letter addressed to IRCC confirming my account status, balances, and Grey's regulatory standing work? Including my Nigerian bank accounts statements?

Yes I am familiar with grey. It is legally registered with Canada Fintrac and even in the United States therefore it should be able to provide the service and the probability of it acceptance by ircc is high.

However, I will advise you to contact grey customer support team for accurate information. Grey seems to charge higher commission and their apps have some negative comments but they re legally and internationally registered.

This is what the mybankstatement ticket looks like, if your bank send/generate this for you, you are good to go. You can attach it as bank statement with other supporting documents.

All commercial banks except Standard Chartered bank can generate mybankstatement ticket for you.

I have 6 bank accounts including OpaY and domiciliary therefore dont lecture me about how banking procedures work. Go and reply to the original asker.

I answered the op in a very easy way because some asker does not know how to elaborate so when he gets to his or her bank they would naturally enlight him or her. You re suposed to go and enlight the asker not me. Thank you sir. If i have any banking teaser i will call my account officers.

Stop looking for fault and join me in enlighten others. We re not doing competition. Go and reply the op who asked the question.

Morning all, please any hotel address (cheap) close to Lagos airport

Use Google to do the search it should be easier and after getting the list you can call the hotel desk for deeper enquiry.

I dont know where you are coming from but 7 & 8 bus stop (coming from mile 2, Badagry, Cele express, Igando - Ikotun) , Mafoluku (oshodi) , Ire akari estate and Ikeja are all closer but my pick would be 7/8 bus stop .

Dont focus on cheap hotels focus on hotel with security of your life and safety of your baggages and bcareful of people referring hotels for you (they may visit you via networking 😎). When you have your money lodging in an hotel especially in Lagos is an easy task.

Thanks for the explanation…i have a request..I intend to come to Canada through the study route. I have an HND in mass communication but I’m planning to switch my course to social service community worker at New Brunswick Community college…I checked online and their tuition fee is quite affordable..I will be honest with you, my long term goal is PR but because i don’t fall under the category I’m choosing the study route, which is fine by me

My only issue is how to go about it…don’t know if you can guide me. I’m looking at 2027/ or early 2028… my parents can provide their accounts for POF. I will really appreciate a response from you

Focus on your admission to Brunswick Community college and focus on the study permit success. You must however display strong and convincing reason (s) in your SOP (statement of purpose ) for your change of career and why do you have to aquire the degree in Canada.

Upon your success in admission and study permit processes and you were able to graduate successfully as an international student in Canada who did not enter illegally nor have any crime record then the PR issue becomes secondary. There are many avenues to become a resident in Canada.

Good morning Boss. Thank you for your response. My tuition is in my POF o and my school directs that I pay my full first year tuition after my Visa Approval. Then travel expenses is also part of POF, right? And I am going to pay for my travel to the POE.

Do they understand this at the POE or they still expect me to come with all that money?

You have to follow your host- University instructions otherwise they will report you to IRCC , therefore do pay your 1st year tuition as soon as you arrive Canada.

Of course your school fees and other miscellaneous expenses is what they calculated to make your POF which also includes flight ticket but this is a dicey situation.

All you must make sure you do is that if it is N100 you displayed in your POF (prove of funds / bank statement) at the time of the submission of your study permit application then that same N100 is what the IRCC must see at the Port of Entry in Canada.

Good evening, everyone. I got MYBank Statement (MBS) from First Bank on friday. The bank also emailed me a copy of the specific document sent directly to the embassy. However, I noticed that the transaction narrations has only numbers. You can't actually identify who transferred the funds based on those details. Is this the exact format the embassy receives? If so, what is the best way to explain and justify these transactions to the visa officer

All accredited financial institutions in Nigeria has different formats and terms or connotations they are using to communicate with embassies. Go back to your bank and show them your own copy and if they tell you that it has no error then you have no cause to worry.

Hello, if my POF is in my account now, when can I start using the money? After Visa approval or after landing? Will they still check the account at POE?

The best time to start using the money is after you must have gotten the temporary visit visa or travel authorisation and you must make sure you are balancing the account because IRCC will vet your POF at Canada POE and they must see the exact balance you submitted to the Canadian High commission b4 your Study permit is eventually granted.

If you can leave the POF funds untouched till you start your classes in Canada that would have been the best.

You can apply for another Msc or even Bsc if it carries genuine reason and genuine intentions. For example if you need another Msc in order to upgrade or align in your current job or career or you need the Msc certificate for promotion as mandated in your employment bond etc.

Hi everyone, I just noticed my passport is expiry April 2027 and the school program I am applying resumes on May 2027.

Can I go ahead and apply for the program while I work on renewing my passport? or I should renew my passport before I apply for the program?

Go ahead and apply for the program while you start working on renewing your travel passport. You may not be able to renew your travel passport until about 3 months before expiration (stand to be corrected on this) and as of today your passport still have more than 6 months to go.

Aside of the above your new passport will still carry your old passport number so its a continuation that wont halt your visa process.

But what IRCC placed on passport before travelling as international student is not even study visa,you are not correct that is TRV:Temporary resident visa(counterfoil)
And Canada don't issue study visa they issue study permit And TRV can't issue study permit, it is with letter of introduction that issues study permit together with LOA!!
So who should be in class now!!

Oga u said permanent study permit. Now u don shift to permanent study visa.
I hope you know that there is a difference between visa and study permit?
Visa allows you entry to a country while study permit allows you to school in that country.
Once again, there is nothing like 'permanent' for visa or study permit.

You saying I cut people's application portal to post. I will answer that question 22nd Aug. For now enjoy your time with your permanent study permit and permanent visa.

My student @Abel Abdul are you in the class ? Study visa is what you get from Nigeria in order to travel and land in Canada. Then after the POE clears you they will issue you study permit. In order word both phrases are interchangeable.

Mind you what are you trying to proof to Nairalanders? And you claim you are not an agent yourself ? Your tactics is to prepare the foundation for people to start asking you how did you do it by trying to prove the best but you have turned yourself to a clown. Too know have exposed you that you have been posting imaginary Canada study visa updates.

I didn't need ChatGPT to know what is permanent study permit.

As an international student you are a temporary immigrant.

So tell me how a temporary immigrant will will issued a permanent study permit.

Una go com here the give half baked information.

Nothing like permanent study permit for Canada.

You are issued a study permit that expires 90days after your program completion or expires the same date with your international passport. Which ever comes first.

But you just told us that ChatGPT is the machine or tool that is dictating your life . Go and read it yourself.

Back to your lesson. The visa you are using to travel to Canada is called temporary travel/visit visa or temporary travel card. When you passed the POE vetting that is when you get the permanent study visa...meaning the main official student visa. If the grammar is confusing you i think i have lectured you right now.

Stop cut and paste of people's visa application credentials on Nairaland. You are not processing anything. Stop fooling yourself.

Please sir, Is there anything like permanent study permit.?

What I am mean to understand in my research is that IRCC will issue you 'introduction letter' and visa stamp on your passport. When you arrive in Canada the border officers will then issue you study permit after accessing you and your documents.

So can you educate us about permanent study permit?

cc amnotapervert please come and learn new thing about permanent study permit.

I am the one processing my study permit myself. This is my portal. No agent has access to my portal.

Can you now see that your ChatGPT Will eventually throw you off balance if you rely on it 100% because it may be giving you answers related to Chinese students. Go and re-read my answers because you seem to be confused the way i used the permanent issuing of your study visa.

No Abel.
You will be approved online and issued temporary travel visa/permit and upon your arrival in Canada IRCC will confirmed your online approval before issuing you permanent study permit. Ask those who got their Canada study visa from year 2024/25 up till this moment.

If you argue this fact that means you are not the one processing your visa.
