*The Landing Gist*

Nice to be here! From the beginning of the journey till I landed in Saskatchewan, Ca. To God be the Glory.

The journey from Nigeria to Cairo was a smooth one, the only itch I have was the internet connection at the Cairo Airport. I got to know that you have access to free 30mins of internet access, all you need to do is to log in with your MTN number but must start with 0023480xxxxxxx, you will then receive a code on the said number. Most time, it may take forever to receive the code.

Try and get a smaller denomination of dollars if you wish to buy anything in Cairo Airport, no change at all.

From Cairo to Toronto
The journey of 11hr45mins started at about 3 am Cairo time, it was a long journey for me and my family being first-time travelers! They served us well, I requested more food anyway. It was a nice experience indeed.

We landed at the Toronto airport, and boarded a flight to Saskatoon, another 3hrs50mins, my buttocks pain ooo. I tried to change $200 USD to CAD in Toronto, the woman scammed me oo. She gave me 212.75 CAD for the 200 USD I gave her. Instead of 249 CAD. Thank God I didn't change all my money through her.

I got my Study permit and my wife got her OWP, my baby got her visitor permit. The immigration officer only asked me for my enrollment letter. We landed in Saskatoon, lovely environment cool and calm.
On arrival at the Saskatoon airport, my supervisor was already waiting to receive us! It was a memorable moment, which can never be erased.

On Monday!

We went for our SIN numbers enrollment and Bank account opening at Royal Bank of Canada, I deposits all the USD I bought from Nigeria, I got a good conversion rate, 1 USD =1.285CAD. We enrolled for our health card.

Tuesday
Went to my faculty, they have already arranged my office with all the necessary gadgets, wow! I felt elated. I got to my research laboratory, I was speechless, everything is at it's best.

Wednesday
Went for shopping and get some foodstuffs and others! What a nice experience. Above all, we enjoyed every part of the journey to the land of Canada.

Documents I used during the journey

1. International passport
2. Letter of introduction (they don't ask me anyway)
3. Covid-19 vaccine card was only asked in Nigeria Airport
4. Arrival Can was asked at the Toronto airport

I pray for everyone waiting for this testimony that your testimony will never elude you. You will surely testify.

I was out of the country and was tied up there (offshore). Got back and sent the passport immediately but the courier guy messed it up. I mailed them anyways and they responded that my request for extension has been noted. Thanks for your response.

Your file was worked on and currently active.
Be prayerful and Hopeful…

Good morning to you all, I did Duolingo test and here is my result, 100 overall, 105 for comprehension, 100 for literacy, 90 in conversation, and 85 for production.
But my school website says 100 overall with minimum of 90 in only two components and 100 in the others.
Does my result meet up with the school requirements?
Thanks

Congratulations my leader. Please I have a Question for you . I went through some a few of your comments here on NL. I saw one part where you said this (I have secured a fully funded program at the USASK, 38,000CAD for the duration of 2yrs. My tuition fee is 8,095 CAD/yr) . Please how were you able to secure the fully funded Program? Also you said something about your faculty already prepared your office. Why are you in Saskatoon sir ? Lol funny Question. Are you there for your Master's or something else ? I'll wait for your Response. Thanks

Hello everyone,

I'm looking to apply for a 2-year diploma in NAIT next fall (Digital media and IT with concentration in Web design and development). I've recently completed my HND in mechanical engineering and I've got about 3 years of experience in the tech industry.

The program is not a post-graduate diploma.

Are there other universities or colleges with low tuition that offer a similar program or a computer science program but as a 2-year PGD within Edmonton, AB or in any other low cost province in Canada?

Thanks

Hi NL.

Concerning POF , I have a fixed deposit Account (Joint account in my Name and Dad's Name) that will get matured later February 2023. I plan on Applying Now for an admission for the Fall Entry 2023.

Please , Is it possible to use the Fixed Deposit Account for my POF (Statement of account) ? I have the certificate of Agreement with the Bank.

Actually the money was kept in the fixed Deposit Account for my Canada Journey. Please can the Gurus Advise me on this so I plan Ahead ?

N.B → The amount in the F.D is more than enough for my POF , Payment of my School fees and etc.

Gurus please what portal will you recommend the new or old portal and why do you recommend the one you choose. Thanks.

Anon123

Well, I used GcKey not because of anything but because it allows a document upload of up to 4MB, while the new portal only allows 2MB. So, a large document reduced to 4MB will definitely be clearer than 2MB.

However, apart from the above, I learned here that none is better than the other in terms of fastness and nature (positive or negative) of decision.

Ocool good day, if my sponsor takes a loan and indicates it in the letter of sponsorship or LOE, would it affect my chances with the Visa officer?

And should I explain it in my letter of sponsorship or letter of explanation?

Thanks

Hi NL , Please I have another Question. At what point does one has to make plans to sending the official Transcript to the school ( Undergraduate Transcript) ?

Also , someone said at the point of Applying for admission that it's okay to use your Student copy Transcript , can someone please help confirm ?

My current situation → I'll like to be part of the Fall Entry 2023 but I'm yet to have my Student copy Transcript and official one ( I'm working on it already)

I'll wait for responses

Thanks

Happy Sunday NL family.
Please I have series of questions to be asked.
1) I studied Geology for my undergraduate and I graduated with a 3rd class degree. Now I plan on furthering but a different course entirely. An IT course especially. Will the change of field affect my chances of getting a Visa ? Like I hope the visa officer won't have a problem with that. NB: I don't have any work experience yet.

2) As regards the POF can I use my dad's? But the problem here is that my dad and I have never come close since I was born. Like we don't have any pic together and I think one of the documents to be submitted is a picture with the family if I am right.

3) What college can I apply to in Calgary.

Yes this is possible since it’s matures February 2023 and your resumption date is September 2023.

But I’ll advise you to Atleast have some little balance like 3-5m in your dads normal account as well, not just all your money being fixed.

You need your student copy transcript to apply for admission.


After you’ve secured admission, most schools will ask that you send the official transcript.

It's ok. Go ahead. in Canada, DUAL INTENT is allowed.
Just ensure you're able to satisfy the requirements for each application.

Thanks for your Response. I'm actually looking at the PERIOD since we're to upload a bank Statement of at least 4 months or maybe 6 months

Let's take for instance I start applying for admission Now for Fall Entry 2023 , then I get the Admission or acceptance letter later in January/February 2023 . Then the next thing will be processing my Application for the student Visa and at the point of submitting my Application I have to upload Proof of fund (Statement of Account) and etc . Is it ideal to go ahead and upload my bank statement of at least 4-6months , Will that work ? Since the account is a fixed deposit Account and has no inflow and outflow of Transactions. Hope you understand ?


Also you said something about keeping 3-4m in my Dad's Account , Why do you suggest that ?

Thanks

I'm sorry for many Questions I'm just trying to prepare ahead and I'm doing it Myself.

Thanks Also I'll Appreciate anyone's Response with answers that can guide me

POF is only required for student visa application not school admission. Be careful with applying with a fixed deposit account as IRCC would assume the funds are there but not might not be readily available for you to access, some people here have been denied visa with this reason.

If you will liquidate the deposit before your visa app that's fine, however, if it would still be fixed I'll suggest you liquidate it and allow it be visible in the account to avoid the Statement I mentioned above.

It's still up to you at the end, make your choice and fire.

Good luck.

When applying for your admission your school will list out their requirements, get them and apply.

There are no general application requirements, it's according to what your school requires you to provide so check their requirements and proceed.

Good luck.

I dont even understand this IRCC people. I got a Request letter on my portal yesterday asking me to upload my official work permit receipt when I didn't apply for a work permit. What I applied for is a study permit, I also indicated that my study has a co-op (last time I checked applicants don't pay for co-op work permit). I also applied alone. So where could this be coming from??
