Good morning. Thank you all for the help so far.

1. If I have an express entry profile, can I input the UCI number in the study permit form? It is asking for UCI number.
2. In the section asking for any previous application to come to or remain in Canada, if I have had an express entry profile in the past, can I state it there? Please note that I once got an ITA that I didn't proceed with. Or can I just stay silent on it.
3. Then can I use the same GCI account I used for my express entry for study permit?
4. Also, if I apply with kids and they are refused, will the refuse my study permit too?
5. What is the possible timeframe to start application to bring family in after I arrive Canada on study permit? (If I don't travel with them immediately)

1. Yes.

2. State it.

3. No. Open another account for your study visa.

4. No. The reason (s) for refusal of your kids might be different. You may not prove the biological father of the kids beyond doubt, etc.

5. After the successfull completion of the school 1st term.

Honesty is the beginning of your study permit success. They have your profiles.

Hey guys! I’ve been following this page for a long time, and I have a question. I have a BSc in Agriculture, and now I’m interested in studying a vocational program in Heavy Duty Equipment Mechanics.

My concern is how I can combine my agriculture background with heavy duty equipment mechanics. Although my bachelor’s degree is not engineering-related, I have a lot of practical experience in automotive engineering from before my degree, even though it’s not professional or certificate-based.

I’m genuinely interested in this field because I know I perform well in engineering and technical work. I would really appreciate any advice or guidance from people with experience in this area. Please help a brother in need.

Hello. You wont be granted that visa if your current employer is not sending you to go for the vocational program in Heavy Duty Equipment Mechanics while upon graduation you re returning to work and become part of the training officers for the future employees. Or you have a CAC and evidence of the company (heavy duty equipment mechanic training centre) you established but only wanted to go for the training and return to become one of the training managers.

Any positive respond aside this will only give you ginger to proceed with the impending failed study visa application.

Thanks for your input
I’m leaning towards the second option but could only see that the programs on there are offered online.
She’s graduate of polytechnic- HND
Office Technology and Management but she has been teaching secondary school students all these while.

First option is her only option based on her career profile . She can also apply to Coady as a career teacher and mind you not all Coady program is offered online, they have physical programs which you can do in Canada and transfer the credit into an accredited University. I have and i know many people who have gone thru that route. However, their admission application is lenghty, competitive and takes patient.

As for the first option, she can apply into a Uni or college that offers bible/Christian courses in advanced level. The rest is to use wisdom in the visa application. Other than that Msc in STEM is her next option if she can prove reason and financial ability beyond doubt.

FreshFrosh:
I need guidance on this , the possible way to make it work out.
I’m a Canadian PR and I wish to sponsor my sister who’s married with 3 kids for study visa. What’s the best way to go about this to avoid possible refusal.
She’s likely to come with the last child
The family have little to no funds , all expenses on me.
What’s your advice for me. Will appreciate all the responses

Let her apply to religious school which must be on graduate or advance level and the school must be internationally accredited. She also has to profile herself as one of the levites (pastor, evangelist etc).

The 2nd option is to apply to Coady Institute which gives 100% funding but depending on her career history or Phd full funding.

[quote author=TaxLawyer post=139373947]What is Nigeria doing about the Visa Ban? its crazy, Nigerian Government must do something about the Ban. Peoples lives are on ::


If you visit the USA embassy website and click on news you will discover that Nigerian government are working hand in hands with the US govt in all areas.

However, i see the administration of president Trump as Oligarchy cum Aristocracy kind of government which has great fears for their lives and wealth.

In this respect, Nigerian govt cannot rush american into taken a hasty decision in terms of reversing the temporary ban until our government fulfilled all dues as regards to security of lives.

US government are watching nigeria government as they are working on rebranding our reputation by then the ban would be lifted totally. All that you and i as an ordinary citizens could do is prayer and positive mindset.

Good morning everyone. I have applied and gotten a LOA from a Private Uni in Canada. My confusion, however, is that they didn't ask for my WASSCE or any high school result. I also did not submit any letter of intent. They only requested for school transcripts. Although, I have been in communication with the official mail on their website, I am still feeling like the admission process is 'too fast' and I am wondering if my result or letter of intent are just not needed.

I am about to pay my tuition deposit through the link in my LOA (PAYMYTUITION), but I am also trying to be careful.

Are my worries valid or it is just Naija mentality that is messing with me?

Your worry is valid. On a general terms, public research universities are more preferable to private universities and most private universties usually waive normal or laid down compulsory admission criteria for applicants which is why both embassies and employer of labour usualy does not trust them.

By this fact, Canadian high commission expects you to be extremely wealthy if you are applying to private university and this brings lot of doubting pressure in your visa application.

Stop your application and reapply to federal university. It will help you a lot . Nonetheless, there re few private universities which are highly recognized but public universities are still the best especially for foreign applicants.

Every square market day, you people complain about "bad leaders." Last time i checked, it is Nigerian individuals you encounter at government offices, airport staff, or polling unit officials. The average Nigerian can be desperately wicked and mischievous, which is ultimately reflected in the leadership. You all continue to blame the leaders as though they are aliens.

There is a reason why, out of all the Black nations on Earth, none are developed, nor perhaps, ever will be. You continue to play the blame game as if nations like China, India, Singapore, and Korea have not also faced colonization in their history.

Even in 2026, you are still blaming the leadership. Africa, and Nigeria in particular, has a fundamental cultural problem rooted in insincerity, mischief, and moral decadence, which is evidenced by the series of fraud and criminal cases in the West.

Thankfully, only a few members of the Black race fall outside of this shameful cultural circle. Unfortunately, because it is difficult to initially distinguish between individuals, the downfall of Western society is being accelerated by the influx of our people and those from similar cultural backgrounds in the Middle East, such as Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq. This is evidenced by the fact that almost every slum and ghetto is populated by these demographics, a truth we refuse to tell ourselves.

So please, stop the blame game and start realizing that the Black race, as a whole, simply cannot run a society. Oh, and do not worry about my children as they are not from around here. It reveals a lot about your character that you would bring children into this discussion which only solidifies my point about culture.

Barack Obama , Kwame Nkrumah , Ajayi Crowther, etc are all from the Black race. Go and look up the black race genus because achievement is not limited to politics.

If we agree with your point that all nigerians started their problem so what are the leaders looking at ? Why are there police stations , court of laws , etc ?

If your children are not from africa i would rather you stop carrying the bitterness of nigeria in your head. Face the country you come from.

The summary of your write up over there is negativity and lost of personal hope or ego or over hype of the western world.

TWoods:
This is all emotional codswallop. You did not address the point at all.

May God bless you @ TWoods. I can't fathom why someone will just lost all hope in the reformation or emancipation of his country of origin from bad leaders and keep praising the Western countries who are 200 years older than Nigeria .

Yet these nagative propagandist keep giving birth to children 😀 When you say Nigeria can never be good are you not indirectly cursing your children or the unborn children ?

Let us adopt the slogan of " God Bless Nigeria .

Hello Great People,
@justwise

Please, I need clarification on choice of response to give on the study permit application form section relating to my dependant Child that is accompanying me to Canada.

1. The question in the Study Permit asked "Why is your family member visiting Canada?"

The Options are:
A. Visit - Tourism
B. Visit - All other types
C. Less than 6 months studies
D. Study more than 6 months
E. Work in work permit exempted category
F. Work (Labour Market Impact Assessment Required)
G. Work with an Open Work Permit
H. Transit

2. If I pick that the purpose is D. Study more than 6months for my child, they are asking for PAL/TAL and Acceptance Letter. I am the one going for Master's Programme. Of course, a child needs to attend school while with me over there. Can I claim exception for the child and with what?

I will appreciate your guidance on how this is handled on family applications.

Thank you.

Your pick should be Visit : All other types. You may then explain the kind of visit as an accompanying children. The children have the option to stay behind if their study and livelihood is easier to juggle with your study or return back home to your spouse or other family member pending the time you finish your graduate study.
