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.

Please, which one is VFS tracking number. All I have is DHL waybill number. Sent mine two days ago from Lagos to Abuja.

I just chatted with DHL and they insist they have not received it.at this point ,I will chill till Monday and if I dont see anything on my tracker ,na to visit DHL ooo on Tuesday

amblessed2021:
Lagos...No, It was on request

Please when did you apply? And is it undergrad or post grad?

Ketima:
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

Wow! How did you get two years of TRV? Did you send IRCC a new LOA that made them consider that?

viviangogos:
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

u must buy Dollars from Aboki and fund your account.take note that u cant pay more than $5,000 USD cash to ur Domiciliary account and so ur Aboki must be willing to pay cash of 5,000 USD and transfer the rest to ur account

Jay316:
Is it too early to start my wife's SOWP?.Just got approved myself a week ago

Its too early if you ask me.

You need your study permit to even apply fr her and other relevant documents which you will be given only when you get to canada.

nairagrounds:

Well if you mean counterfoil is TRV, yes is 2 years I saw in my GCKey, though my passport hasn't arrived yet. yes, I sent an updated LOA. could it be the reason for 2 years of TRV?

Omiinii:
How about the fees paid to secure seats.some pay almost $2000CAD. is that refundable?

Tuition deposits for most school are refundable thought you will need to find out first. Conestoga college refunds their $1500cd tuition deposit.

yes, Jay316. I was told is too early too to apply for her. so for now I'm arranging documents and all for her own application after I have entered Canada. So relax ok. she will surely come to meet you sooner than you think.

sim2003:
Please, who has Mr @Anon123 contact? I want to order for my gmc notes

sim2003:
I have been refused three times since last year. The last one was in July this year; the visa officer sighted lack of financial status and asset as his reason for the denial. I need help seriously. Someone has suggested that I should apply for gmc note...

Please apply for your notes to use as a guide when you wish to reapply.

Good day,

This thread is for study visa meaning you are issued a study visa to study while also working. Also meaning no firm there sends you invitation to come and work.

But if you are looking on looking for a firm to issue you employment while in Nigeria, you will need to focus on Work visa but please be careful as agents forge documents claiming they have companies that will employ you.


If you are interested in migrating via study route, I will advise you take your time and read the thread and ask questions if any.

Ketima:
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

1st did u get a mail 4 d counter foil before u opened ur GCKEY ?

to answer ur question. u need the letter of introduction yo show the border officer wen u arrive.i think ur study permit number is also written there.

wen ur study permit expires u can renew it easily in Canada. u deferred to when by the way?

Ketima:

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!!!

Ketima:
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
