Hi guys, it's PPR for me and medical request for my toddler (I don't know why they have requested for a fresh Medicals for her but we go do am)


2nd time applicant

1st application July 2021
Refusal cake in on 6th October 2021 after waiting. I had to defer my admission. I had already started classes oo. The bad news came in in the middle of a particular class and I want blank for 10 minutes, exited the zoom class and cried to my satisfaction. I ordered GCMS Notes same day through a friend in Canada who was following up with me on my application.

GCMS came after 1 month and I realized IRCC messed up my application.

They mentioned sponsor when I didn't have any.
They said I had lump sum when I showed certificate of fixed deposit and told them the date it liquidated.
They didn't even acknowledge the 45% upfront school fees I paid (I think they already made a decision before I sent in the payment receipt)


I had to contact of a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant after my GCMS came in because I wasn't ready for the emotional stress of opening and refreshing IRCC portal and my email for update, he scheduled a zoom meeting with me and after reading through my GCMS Notes and listening to me, he said he'll have recommended a JR because the refusal grounds were baseless however, to save me time, money and stress, he recommended a reapplication.

I lost interest in online classes so I kuku deferred my admission.
I don move out funds buy market from fixed deposit sef so I kuku defer.

I started working on my POF immediately. I ensured large sums entered my personal account from everywhere and moved out and targeted March for submission of a fresh Application.

The Registered Canada Immigration Consultant asked me questions like he was a Visa officer, I got tired sef. We exchanged lots of mails.

I'm grateful to God for this success. In deed, God has done this and I am in awe. Who could have imagined that my application would take 19 days and 13 working days?

I had already started Sweden application to schools sef. I had planned to apply to UK schools in October but transcript wahala didn't help matters so I left it.

I pray the God who did mine would do yours too. Do not give up.

If I study a postgraduate diploma in Social Work at a DLI college in Canada for 2yrs (plus PSWP), will I be eligible for Permanent Residency after my diploma studies?

yea

Toceen2022:
Lemme get you right... Your undergraduate degree is in political science and you've not had any work experience in disability studies field, like teaching or counselling?

Well, if that is the case, I'll strongly advise not to go for the program. Such programs are highly professional and require strong background in courses like learning, child development (emotional, cognition and social), and a lot of psychological studies in education as prerequisite before doing a masters. It's almost impossible to secure admission without having such background. But many schools may accept years of experience in that field to cover for it.

But, it doesn't affect the process of getting a PGWP either course or thesis base route.


Noo, I don't... You can Google it.
SOP related to special education or child support care could be useful too.

If I study postgraduate diploma at a college (DLI), will I be able to secure PR afterwards... ?

Na nursing I want to do ooo
What course did you apply for?

Yes, we all did our Medicals together. They might request for that at the POE when we apply for her SP, not sure though, but just to be on the safe side.

Forwardxxx:
Congratulations!!!!!

For your child that’s a US citizen, did she do medicals since she’ll be staying in Canada for more than 6 months?

One year isn't one century...it's best to opt for a 2year program to get your three year PSW...I know of so many people that had to relocate back to Nigeria unplanned when Covid 19 came visiting unexpectedly.....Anything worth doing is worth doing well...

While I understand your point of view, I want to make it clear that It's not a risk if you have prepared and mapped out your strategies to get PR after 1 year course.

If one year course is your only ladder to get to Canada, please don't hesitate to climb it because if you don't have enough funds for 2 year course to convince the visa officer, you may likely not even leave Nigeria.

Are you aware you only need to study in New Brunswick for 6 months without a job offer to get eligible for PNP?

Are you aware that if you target IT courses, Health courses among others, your chances of getting a white collar job is very high? Android Developers, Mobile Developers, Web Developers, Data Analylist/Scientists, Personal Care Support Workers etc are in high demand.
If I could get an interview from Canada just because I learned Android Programming without even working in that line, how much more would it be if I was physically present there!

You don't need to work in the profession relating to your course of study. You only need to secure a job in NOCs A, B or C to qualify for CEC.

Are you aware of 1+1 course strategy?

Are you aware of Manitoba MPNP that requires connection to the province?

Are you aware of Saskatchewan Tech and SINP?

Your point of high risk is for those who do not have many strategies mapped out before studying.

Let us also weigh in the worst case scenario, if I can add Canadian 1 year course to my EE profile or some PNP profiles, I am damn sure I will qualify for PR.

RNIMP is also there, just study in either Ontario, Manitoba or BC, RNIMP is looking for you. Apart from these three provinces, many other provinces are looking for graduates for RNIMP.

All you need do is to arm yourself to the teeth with good and correct information and don't say "I must live in Ontario or BC" when Saskatchewan, Manitoba, PEI, NFL etc are looking for you.

Have you applied for jobs in Canada after schooling? My friends and I have done that within and outside the IT/computer science field. I can tell you for sure that most people in Canada spend about 4-6 months of dedicated time before getting a job. Some spend years without it. Getting an interview doesn't equate getting a job. By the way, I work in the IT/Computer Science field in Canada. So I can say I have some practical experience of job hunting in that field in Canada.

Did you or any of your friends submit PR application in Canada recently? I do have friends in canada waiting for passport request since early 2021. Their only grace is that their work permit is three years.

It is not my business what anyone choose. I am just here to advise those that care to listen that they should aviod 1 year PGD if they can. It will save them future stress, headache, and need for aviodable permutations and calculations. At the end, I understand everyone's journey will be different even if we have the same destination. All the best.

hello Bro, how about a year and six months certificate program, can it guarantee one a 3 year PGWP?

Thanks for the info. What doing another one year program after the first program. is it not going to give the person 2-3 years working permit?

Dear Nairalander,,

I was refused on the ground that I couldn't sufficiently prove my home tie and the statment of account I submitted was not clear therefore, it was not considered. Please, I need your candid advice on how to tackle this. Please, see attached reasons. Please, if you can help me!

Thank you

Getting PR is not always all about getting a job, this is why I asked if you know anything about MPNP, RNIMP and the program that New Brunswick requires you to do and apply for PNP in your final semester which is 6 months before graduation if you are studying in one year course?

Are you aware of AINP?

People that get problem are the ones who say, "I want to live in Ontario or BC", if you don't care and ready to live in any province or territory to get a PR, I am sure you don't have to tie your PR to jobs. Many PNPs are calling graduates if you care to know.

I also weigh in worst case scenario:
I asked if you're aware of 1+1 course strategy.

Thanks for the info. What doing another one year program after the first program. is it not going to give the person 2-3 years working permit?

This is what I call 1+1 course strategy.

Bro, if any of your friend had been waiting for PPR for a long time after graduating due to COVID, it is an advantage because that person would have been given a BRIDGING OPEN WORK PERMIT. He would enjoy this open work permit for as long as IRCC keeps delaying him.

Even if he had 1 year PGWP, he/she would have been advantaged to work for more than 1 year due to the bridging open work permit.

Meanwhile, not all PR programs are tied to job. Most people only know about CEC which requires a year job experience in NOC level A, B or C. There are many PNP waiting to have him.

If anyone is in New Brunswick and does a one year course in the select field that's in-demand, such person can qualify for PNP in the last semester of his study, that's five or six months into the program or five to six months before graduating.

In as much as you have targeted programs and strategies, you can't fail.

There are so many ways one can get PR apart from CEC that doesn't require job offer. One just shouldn't be picky or dull oneself.

The truth is that I doubt if I would be able to "try" before next week because by then I believe the whole matter should have been resolved.
