Hi ppr hopefuls!
Pls, I have 75k in my barter acct.
How do I convert it to USD to pay for my visa app?
I tried to pay, but my transaction was not approved?

PatrickOkunima:


My understanding is that one can extend a 1 year study permit to 2 years, by pursuing another program. Thereafter, qualify for 3 years PGWP. Or has that changed? I mean the study permit extension part?

Hi all,
Just wanted to chip in a few updates. When I was active on this thread around 2019-2020 I was always on the lookout for people who can give information from the other side. Having information about how things actually go on once within Canada helps with planning.

1. If possible, please apply for at least a 2 year program. I assume most people here are planning to get a work permit afterwards and from there get to apply for PR. It's not that easy. Getting a job after graduation is not so straightforward. And for a lot of provinces, you need to work for 1 year before you can apply for PR based on work experience or Canadian Experience Class. So if you graduate and it takes 3 - 6 months post graduation to get a job (best case scenario), your one year work permit would have expired before you can apply for P.R. Besides most employers don't like to employ people who do not have long-term work permits.

For those planning to travel soon

1. Nothing you buy in Nigeria can handle Canadian winter . Don't spend a fortune on 'winter clothes'. Just buy the little you will wear from the airport to your homes or for the first few days you land until friends and/or your hosts can help you buy appropriate clothes.

2. Please do not leave the airport without it being specifically written on your study permit that you are entitled to work part time (20 hours) during the term and full time in summer. No matter what the border officials say, insist on the endorsement. I made that mistake when I landed in June - she told me it doesn't matter and everybody knows that students can work. Turns out it's not true. You can't work without a SIN and no one will give you a SIN (Social Insurance Number) unless your student permit says you can work. I have been trying to get my student permit amended since June till now. No response. So please stand your ground at the border and insist.

The rate is not consistent so you have to confirm but it's around 415. Total paid for the ticket was #338,241

You can get a conditional admission letter with your unofficial transcript. However, to get the full admission letter, you need to upload your proof of graduation. If you have that already, I believe you should get your unconditional admission letter.

Hello AOROGBEM

Were these documents requested for by IRCC?

Or did you see it in your GCMS notes that the Visa Office is having issues with any of these documents?

Or have you been approved and you wanna send your LOA so that your Visa will have a favourable duration as regards your new LOA?

If your answer is NO to any of these questions, I won't advise you to send them any document they have not requested for, cos sending them these documents doesn't mean you will be approved...

But them requesting for these documents shows your application is on the route of approval...

Peace
