I started my Canada journey in 2019, and I was denied the visa twice. During that period, I built solid relationships with some folks in this student thread. They helped me order my GCMS notes for free and gave me different discounts for both admission and visa fees. MofPearl and Ruqoyah reviewed my Letter of Explanation for free. They also corrected my LOE, and it was almost perfect and solid for reapplication. May Almighty Allah reward the both of you abundantly. I also want to thank Bodmillz, Moshood, Vesment, Babatunde Alli, and Egbon Akeem for being there for me always. May Almighty Allah reward you all abundantly. Special shoutout to Frankrobbn and Justmellow. They were never tired of answering my questions.

To those being denied the visa and expecting, NEVER QUIT AND NEVER GIVE UP.

How can I apply for the gcms note?

Dofrenzy:
I am glad you are still here. That shows you have not given up on the dream. The advice to get your GCMS notes is perfectly in order. Get it so the gurus in the house can review and give inputs to make ur next application full proof. God will help us all.

Jay316:
got the same message from VFS and chatted DHL.they asked for my way bill number and I gave them but they said they have not received my envelope.

have u gotten any update on this Ketima?.
have u received ur LOI ?
I neva sleep well since I send that passport and I dont know why.I have gotten PPR yet I dont even have the boldness to book for flight till I see the counter foil.

ketima na two of us dey this shoe.please let me know if there is any update and I will do same.

Hahahaha, is not only you that isn't relaxed too. Every stage has its own tense moments LOl. I Spoke with the DHL rep over the phone, he said they haven't received any parcel from VAC yet, but they always go there every day to collect parcels dropped with a 2-way waybill. that if mine is there, they will surely pick it up and it will reflect in our tracking.

So later I had a chat with VFS, they asked me to send mail to VAC Abuja that they will give me AWB tracking ID. I now wrote to them and they requested my VFS tracking number which I have given them and waiting for their feedback.

So jay316, just relax ok. it will surely come. at most Tuesday next week, it will come.

Congratulations bro

Bobomaigida:
The school has reached full capacity for the programme for that start date, you can look for another school or another start date if you are interested in the school, this should not bother you too much. There are a lot of choices

Hello, are you just seeing your ppr? Or what?

I have read severally from people that have done GIC that you cannot transfer money to GIC account from your Naira account. It must be from your dorm account which means you need to source the dollar and put in your Dorm account for your GIC transfer.

Anyone that did GIC can help re confirm this..

All the best

Perfectyyyyyy:
Will bank use the same CBN rate to transfer to open GIC account?

Cannymission:
Thanks a lot. Is the 100CAD gone if I can't see another course of interest to me? September Admission have not begin yet.

Most schools application fee is no refundable, you can find out from them about it, but lets us keep an open mind you might find a course that interests you apart from the one that is full now.

True, CBN will not fund personal expenses, GIC is personal so you have to source FX by your self to fund it.

I tried sending you email now.
Kindly respond.

I will appreciate if I can see your LOE for guidance…

Someone please kindly advise on this....thanks



Hello guys...i must appreciate the good efforts of everyone guiding, helping, advising interested applicants ....

I recently got admission for a post graduate diploma in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at CIMT Ontario college for fall term 2022, and this is what landed me into this thread and i have been reading and reading contributions in here..and i have concerns about going forward with the admission.

To start with, i have a Bsc in Geology 2:1, graduated 5 years with no work experience in that particular field after searching for jobs to no avail, but been working in the Business development/ Sales field. I have also been doing some self learning on some online courses on programming cos i love it. I did a one year diploma in information technology at some computer college like that after i finished secondary school.....

My reason for choosing pgd in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is that i plan on switching career into IT. I have a IT background with regards to the one year Diploma in IT and two years work experience in IT before beginning undergraduate studies in Geology.

Do you guys think this is enough to get Study visa ... Asides other requirements...or do i need to go for a course that have to do with geology or my work experience in business development field....
Any advice is welcomed.....thanks guys.

And goodluck to those in the process......[/quote]

Piggy Vest Statement of Account: 1.650M Naira

Let me run a quick background here, i didnt even know we'll be applying to relocate to Canada till Monday June 7 this year, we have always wanted to move to Canada but the plan has been via Express Entry. Due to age constraint, we decided we should go via school and then we had the UK option too but the plan was to leave Nigeria by December 2022 at worst case scenario. Left for me, the process would probably start around June next year lol but my wife was much into the relocation plan. The funny thing is that i am "agent" and i worked with one of the leading agencies in Nigeria even heading Abuja's branch, students are always asking, bro when you go comot Naija, you wey dey help us, you no wan comot abi..or students asking have you been to all these countries before? lol me wey be say na only Dubai i don go, for some i say yes i don go (i lied), some i tell them the truth that i'm not ready yet.

Fast forward, i applied to school and admission came 2 days after. Deposit was made and we went for upfront medicals, did IELTS and Police Character. We gathered documents and finally submitted August 30, it is pertinent to state that this application was God's grace. I told my wife we should fast and pray every Tuesday till we get approval and our prayers points were specific:

1. God should perfect all the imperfections of the our application in the eyes of the Visa Officers
2. God should not allow our application be delayed for too long.
3. God should have mercy and compassion on our application.
4. I had a dream the 2nd week after i submitted the application that i was approved, so i started praying that God should make the dream a reality and let us get approval as a family.

My church has been about having testimonies in the month of October but 2 things happened that stood out for me. 1st, when i saw Jay316 approval last week Friday Oct 15, i noticed on his timeline that he submitted a week before us, immediately, i keyed into his testimony and approval that God should please let us have our PPR this week. In church this Sunday, Oct 17 we sang raise me up and tapped into Jehovah God raising my family to Canada. Pastor also said someone in the service would testify next week, I also tapped into it as I expect our Canada visa approval this new week in Jesus name. Then this morning around 7:30, NSSPD Pastor Jerry said someone will get the email they have been expecting in 1 hour time and good news before 6pm. Lo and behold, i got 2 emails from IRCC at exactly 8:10am, without checking who sent the mail, i started saying this is IRCC, this is IRCC and when i opend my mail it was IRCC oo, thats how i started dancing and praising God before opening my portal declaring that yes the word of God have to come pass that its going to be approval and when i logged in, i went straight to the bottom and i saw the golden messages CORRESPONDENCE LETTER & ORIGINAL PASSPORT REQUEST, while checking my own, the mail for my daughter came in and 2-3 minutes later, the mail for my wife dropped too. Na baba God do am ooooo, people help me should 3 powerful Hallelujah.

As someone who has been in the study abroad industry for a while, i can boldly say that i got lotta information from this travel thread, thanks to all the gurus that share important information. I didnt do anything anything special but God is his infinite mercy gave us the approval, he made an ordinary application extra ordinary. The only thing i would say to prospective applicants is to take their time to study the thread well and be detailed in their SOP/LOE.

Who did it guys? JESUS...Oh My God...Woowwwwwwwwwwwww What God cannot do does not exist!!!

Wow!! Congratulations!! Truly what God cannot do does not exist.
Did you use the NSE route or normal online route?

Thanks a lot.

And goodluck to those in the process......

To start with, I don't think that school qualifies for PGWP after graduation oooo as it is a private degree mill college. Kindly be careful and read through before any financial commitment to the school ooo. the school doesn't look at degrees, all they want is your money. that's why they gave you admission without experience nor a previous degree in IT

Then, with 2.1 in Geology even though no experience in that, why not go for MSc in Geology or a related field to prove academic progression. Even the IT course you went for, you don't have experience nor degree in it ( forget about the post-secondary diploma you did after secondary school)

My 2cent though. The gurus will guide you better

Hello My seniors,

I just got an application/profile update in my GCKey. logging it was a counterfoil update. Please I need clarification on the following;

1). I keep hearing about LOI and co. Please what does that mean how will I get it?

2). Due to the decision coming late, I was given a deadline of a certain day in September to defer, if not I won't receive a full refund. so had to defer which is only 1 intake in a year. new LOA sent via webform. Now my counterfoil update is saying it will expire in Nov 2023, by then I will just be concluding the first year. So will it be easy to extend from inside canada?

Just need your input so that we all can learn. Thanks in advance

tobi12345:
Good morning,
I have come back here to share my testimony. I have been a silent reader and follower on this platform. God did this for me and this my second application , I did my medicals upfront after I submitted my application.
I wrote my Sop myself because I couldn’t pay the outrageous fees some guys asked .
Only God can do this . Yours is coming in Jesus name . My heart is so filled with joy and I can’t type much . I want to encourage someone this morning that, don’t give up and you can do it yourself if you believe in God . He is a God who can not lie .

congratulations sir. Still waiting for your timeline.

U go collect slap oo

Jay316:
actually u were.lol.the question was were u guyz unvaccinated ? the answer is we were unvaccinated.

I don't think it works like that boss. I don't think you can use form A to transfer funds it's only for specific purposes. I'm not sure tho.

Perfectyyyyyy:
Will bank use the same CBN rate to transfer to open GIC account?

It's just the date by which you must have entered Canada.

Your Study permit will be issued at Point of Entry.

The TRV allows you to travel out and back into Canada as long as it has not expired.

It is advisable that your first entry coincides with period of your start of study since the main purpose is to study unlike a visit visa application which isn't tied to a particular event.

You may be advised by others here to send update your file by sending webform with an updated admission letter or deferral approval. Not too sure about that part.

PLS house, can I send my passport without including the biometric slip, hope my passport won’t be returned back to me without stamping

NOTE: I went to the VFS office Lagos yesterday but they never allowed me to enter and I also called the help line to confirm the info but they weren’t picking up.

chat with them

Ok thanks alot.

But if I get you right, my study permit will start counting from the day I entered and not when my passport was stamped?

I saw my TRV is 2years as what I read about people saying is 1year and that one must travel before it expires
