Congratulations on your visa approval.

Number 1 is a big fat lie. The person who said that probably mixed it up. The only thing you won't get access to with a one way ticket is a PTA (personal travel allowance) using Form A. Canada won't send you back because you don't have a return ticket.

No idea of accommodation in Vancouver.

Hello great people.
Please be kind enough to help me out. I have been an ardent follower of UK and Aussie migration routes so I didnt try to know much about Canny waka.
My scenario
I got disappointed by my UK school and I immediately read through this thread and eventually got an admission offer from a College in Ontario for September intake for a course of 8months with a total tuition fee of $17k
I need to pay $9.6k for acceptance but the issue is I have just the tuition fee and not the living expenses of $10k.
Also, I am far gone in my Aussie movement and can get PR anytime soon so not too keen about the Canada PGWP even though I want it.
Strong ties is a business, landed inheritance, nuclear and aged parent.
Please advise:
Will the course duration pose a problem at the visa office?
Can a gift deed of over $10k affect my chances?
Can I get study loans for that duration also considering that it is from a college?
If there are loan agents willing to offer a loan, and I present a Canadian cosigner, will this also affect my application?
Can I use a loan from an individual and show evidence of same?
Should I mention my Australian visa application during interview?
My tuition deposit for the UK school is yet to drop in my account, can I initiate another form A payment? ie if it still works.
Should I even try to go further?

So sorry for the epistle and help me out.
Thanks

Hi Everyone, Please what is the time duration for Medicals. Does it take a whole day? I am looking at doing medicals and biometrics the same day if time permits. for the people that have done their medicals, kindly confirm how many hrs it took for them to complete all necessary test. Thanks.

Honestly speaking, without mincing words, this is grossly uncalled for.
Tell me that in all your life, you have never for once asked a silly question. Ur best odd here is to quietly look away if you don't want to answer the silly question.

BenedictStinson:
About to pay my deposit for Fanshawe college. Their payments go through flywire so I used the foreign transfer payment option so I could use Form A. The problem now is there's no tab on the Form A portal to input the payment reference and on the payment instructions, it is written that Flywire needs the reference to identify your payment. Has anyone made a Form A payment through Flywire? How did you circumvent this?

If your Austrailian PR is sure and happening soon, dont come and waste money on schools in Canada. Canada and Australia cultures are similar due to effect of European domination and colonization. Generally, people earn more in Australia. Your eight month course of 17k is also an expensive bad idea. You can use that money to settle properly in Australia after your PR. Trust me, you will need the money badly to make your life easier in the first few months. Focus on Australia if it is near and sure. Expect there is more to it, Canada for you is a distraction and waste of money.

Malone122:
bad idea I won’t advise you to waste such amount for a course of 8 months
If the Australia PR is certain focus on that if you was to focus on Canada it’s advisable you go for at least a 2 year course faster process to PGWP then PR.

Hello everyone, please if my dad is my sponsor but is willing to transfer the full tuition and living expense to my account since it is a PGC for one year. Do I still need to provide any documents relating to him? If yes, what documents do I need to show? I will be providing my bank statement showing the funds in my account and a gift letter already. Secondly, if I am granted a study leave by my company, asides the employment letter and study leave approval letter, what else do I need to provide? Thirdly, I heard that travel history is a reason for refusal, I have a new passport with no visa on it as I have not travelled outside Nigeria before. I am concerned that this may crop up, has anyone experienced this issue and was refused visa? Lastly, where can I get a template for study leave letter and gift letter? Thanks in anticipation of your response.

I'm thinking of deferring to January.
My question now is that, will me deferring my admission to January increase the due date of payment.
Please I need any amount of inputs I can get.

Hello Bomsilaga,

As you may know already, Aussie and Canada share information. It will be wise to declare what you have going on with the Aussies. Aside from this, if the delay with your Aussie PR application that's why you are intending to apply for the Canadian study permit, IRCC may also give you a run for your patience.

Except that the PR application is not sure, then it will be a good idea to proceed with your study plans in Canada, which also serves as a good backup. Australia is a very good country with almost the same way of life as Canada and New Zealand, but more expensive to live in.

The length of your program will not pose any harm to your study permit application nor will a financial deed gift. If you intend to get a study loan from an individual or any persons not related to you, it will be wise not to tag it as a study loan as it may reduce the ability to demonstrate your level of economic establishment in your country. Rather it could be tagged as a loan/debt repayment or return on investment backed with adequate documentation.

Best of Luck

bomsilaga:

Great insights, Thanks.
The PR process is sure but as human, waiting 33months for anything has left devastating consequences on my mental health.

Did you see my earlier response to this post? Of course, you did. I asked a question there, but you ignored. It's all good.

ShowYoung:


Having experience in Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, I think GCert in Industrial Automation is good for you because:
1. GCert will show academic and career progression.
2. You can easily switch to Industrial Automation being an engineer if you can convince the visa officer and if there's undoubtable proofs that the job prospect is good.

If you choose to study Computer Programming at diploma level, visa officer may have a concern that you have BEng already, why going for diploma now especially that your job duty is nothing related to Computer Programming or Software Engineering? Apart from that, there is a 10 year study gap, this can be supplemented by your job experience.

Hence, it is natural that an Electrical Engineer may desire to switch career to Industrial Automation for the fact that it is reasonably feasible with good explanations to convince the visa officer

Good Morning Everyone

I hope everyone is having a good day

I have a study permit that is expiring on the 11th of June, 2022 because of my passport.

I am renewing my passport at the moment but it is still yet to come so

I would like to know if I can start my application for study permit renewal without the new passport and I would like to know how I can go about the matter??

If there is anything else I need to know about, please kindly share

Thank you very much

Please, house I need help. I'm still new to using this interface, so kindly pardon my errors.

I want to know which of my support documents require notarization. Or is it all the documents for upload that have to be notarized?

Secondly, where is the appropriate place to get a document notarized?

Please all my geeks, mentors, plus the entire house, I need information.

Hello Boss,
If i may ask what kind of visa the family will apply for when they are ready to join primary applicant?

Johnwisdom1032:


Please my uncle is my sponsor and there is 20m in his account. I already have statements of account and affidavit of sponsorship. What I want to ask is do I need to ask for his pay slip since its a personal saving account and do I need his ID card? Please what do can I ask him to give to me... I'm going for an undergraduate

Toceen2022:
Please guys, I need some input on this from anyone who might have experienced same thing

I worked for my uncle's private company between 2016 - 2018 and there was no official letter issued. Will a reference letter from the company suffice to proof that I worked with them? Just the reference letter No payslip or job offer letter and it's been over 4 years I left there.
