Upfront medical has no appointment letter.

For Abuja where I did mine, It has an appointment letter.

It's the number on it the letter the security guards at their gate used in checking our names before they allowed us to enter.

Ocool:
A friend just got his PPR to resume in September 2022, next month.

But the thing is that he wants to defer to save cost by going to another DLI which is about 50% cheaper in January 2023.

The tuition fee of the current DLI is 22,000 CAD but he has got admission to another DLI with just 11,500 tuition fee.

Is this possible? If yes, how can he handle it without having any problem later.

According to the rules the person cannot change DLI unless the person is actively studying while in canada, actively pursuing studies and making progress towards completing your program's courses otherwise the person will need to submit new study permit application before moving to Canada..

bullstriker:
If he changes the program and DLI before entering Canada, CBSA might ask him to go back and reapply. He can enter Canada with his original LoA, and inform IRCC via MyCIC account (old portal) of the change of DLI.

When should he inform the IRCC through the Webform when he gets to Canada? Can he do that before he paid his tuition and starts classes at the current DLI?

Ok. Thanks so much.

God of eleventh hour will come through for everyone resuming on the 6th and is still waiting for a decision. Happy Sunday

johnstan:


The steps are on IRCC, you don't need to apply for a new study permit, here's the link https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/change-schools.html

If you want to change your Institution, you will need to submit new study permit and it may affect you if you don't have genuine reason on changing of Institution; means your study permit may be refused if you don't have a genuine reason for changing DLI.

Check it below on same website.

Amen

He can inform IRCC once he has received his study permit (landed in Canada). However, he must use the old portal to inform IRCC; you can’t use the web form for a change of DLI.

I wish

padie77:



Yes nah, are you already in Canada?

Ocool:


He told me Cambrian College.

Thanks boss

I can't really say if you're required to make the payment before deferment, But I already paid all my fees before applying for deferral.
Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think they will allow deferment without paying the full semester fees.

apeja2017:
Please did they require you to pay the first semester due fee before you could defer?

Good evening house.

Please and Please. I need support and help in Saskatoon. I am a Msc student of Univeristy of Saskatchewan and I have been searching for accommodation.

Anyone in Saskatoon please

Hello,please what's the name of the school you applied to for the pre nursing program?

How much is the yearly tuition fee?

How long did it take for you to be admitted?I am asking all these because I have been thinking hard on how to fulfill the prerequisites courses needed to enroll in accelerated BScN program,I will really appreciate your response. Thanks.

Unfortunately I can't use that method, I'm going for a prenursing programme and they rejected my form A application for tuition

Hi guys, sorry this is actually coming late. The unimaginable stress at MMIA and trying hard to find my feet here makes it difficult for me to come online and drop my landing gist on time.

LANDING GIST
LAGOS - FRANKFURT - VANCOUVER - VICTORIA
Airline - Lufthansa / Air Canada
Date - August 18th/19th 2022.
Time - 11pm.

I never expected the rigorous stress I went through at MMIA. Got to the airport early at 6:45pm for 11pm flight, and went straight to weigh my luggage. I knew beforehand that I have 31 and 33, and 7 for carry-on bag, which I believe I will upgrade to 32, as per Lufthansa said it's possible. But their scale showed 32, 35 & 8kg. That is equally fine, I had no problem upgrading. But the lady who attended to me was just too crazy and started saying rubbish... That my only option is to look for extra bag and make it 3 bags, not exceeding 23kg each and I'll pay for one extra luggage. I never knew another wahala is underway. I bought a bag reshuffle and I got 23, 25, and 18. Luckily another staff told me to make it 32kg (pay for upgrade), 23kg (normal weight) and 12kg (I never knew passangers are entitled to 2 free carry on bags 8kg and 15kg (this can also be checked in). So I later paid to upgrade for the 32kg.

Now, this is where the stress began. Going through documents verification, my QR/Barcode on vaccination card only showed the 2nd Jab and date, the 1st was blank, because of that I was told I won't be allowed to board. (I've been fully vaccinated since Sept last year, and I do checked online myself even few weeks ago I checked, everything was showing perfectly well). I was told to call the number on the card if they can quickly rectify it, or go to the health service kiosk in the airport if anything can be done. That was how the trouble started o. Nobody could helped out, I was there calling the primary health care number on my card, moving from one place to another for over 2-3 hours. Nothing was done. Stressed and exhausted, I gave up, went back to the Lufthansa stand believing I'll have to book for another day, I asked for refund even if it's 70% (at least it's not that I didn't show up at the airport, so I should be entitled for a refund). It was at this point my brother in Ontario sent a screenshot on NPHCD site showing I'm fully vaccinated. I quickly scanned my barcode, still same issue, but on their site, using the personal identification number, it's showing the my full vaccination details. At this point, I reassured myself that Nigeria is truly a failed country. How could NPHCD site show different information on a single identification number. With the stress I went through, I cursed the country. Up till this moment if I scanned the barcode, it only show 1 jab, but if check on the site with the identification number, it shows the 2 jab. I was literally the last person on board. But luckily my window seat was still reserved for me.

I couldn't sleep much from Lagos to Frankfurt because of serious headache. In fact, I didn't enjoy the flight at all because of the stress. But after taking water and snack, I felt better and relaxed. We got to Germany - Frankfurt in the morning, around 6:30 am and from that point till my final destination, no single stress for me. The airport is massive, in fact, na train I take to my next Gate Porte (B-22). Went through security check and seated at the Gate Porte with other passengers going to Vancouver. Connected to the free Wi-Fi and made series of video calls. Our flight was delayed for about 2 hours.

Frankfurt to Vancouver was 10+ hours, so I slept, listened to music, watched a movie (Fatherhood) and before I know it, we are ready to land in Vancouver. I went to the self declaration machine, scanned my passport, all information appeared and printed out a receipt. I actually knew my bags would be sent to my final destination but a security officer said it would be in Vancouver. I waited for almost an hour and went to Lufthansa kiosk, the lady checked my details and said it's already sent to Victoria Airport. I went to immigration, spent about 15 minutes and my study permit was out (they only asked for my passport and LOI).

I missed my flight from Vancouver - Victoria. So, I went to the Air Canada kiosk and the lady issued a new boarding pass immediately without kobo. The flight was a short one, around 25 min, so before we knew it we are already in Victoria. When to pick my bags and everything was intact. CBSA didn't check anything, so everything I carried got to my final destination. Went out of the airport, took a yellow taxi to my airbnb accommodation. I was charged $65. If you know anyone that can pick you up at the airport, it'll be nice and save you some money.

Presently, I've got my SIN, Sim card, School ID and Bus Pass (till April 2023), opened bank account, got a permanent accommodation, booked appointment for BCID (British Columbia Identity Card) and preparing for my knowledge test so as to get my driver's licence asap.

Sincerely, if not for the wahala I went through at MMIA, it would have been a 100% stress-free journey. I couldn't even say goodbye to my people, couldn't snap a single shot with my wife and daughter. That thing still dey vex me till this moment.


Things are truly working here, pedestrian owns the road, not drivers. They must wait for you to walk through. Beautiful locations. Deers, squirrels and animals moving around and crossing the road, they no fear say someone go hunt them down
You go see car open mouth, Tesla na like Toyota, you go see one nearly every corner.
Many electric cars and products I've never seen or hear before. Infact, it's really good to experience living in a working system.

I wish everyone hoping and waiting a successful outcome. And to those that'll be flying soon, safe travel. Anyone coming to Victoria can reach out and I'll see how I can be of help/assistance. Thank you

johnstan:


Chances are really slim but you can try.

Thanks for your response... aside master what other programs can he do with 2'2

Nice one, may Canada favour you, which did you enroll and what's the tuition like.

thank you

johnstan:

thanks.. can I still go for masters after the PGD

Good evening everyone is there anyone going to royal roads university

shollyshine:
thanks.. can I still go for masters after the PGD

For that you will need to check your school's website. Some schools offer courses that allow you transition to masters after your program with your earned credits, they call it pathway or so.
Alternatively, you could simply apply for masters after your program.

Please I need a pgd program with low Tution fee and English language exemption for naira .

Ocool:


Thanks so much for this well detailed explanation.

I have a follow up question please. Did you your brother paid his full tuition or just a part before he changed his DLI?

He had to pay in full for that session

You cannot work and live in Canada without being in an active school session

So even though he wasn't really following up with school work because he had changed
He had to pay for that first year

But since it's January intake you can enquire from the school if you only have to pay for this semester

Just make proper enquiry from the school

I highly advise you enter Canada first before any changes Sha

Them no dey dash study permit for street


Pray for me too Sha
I'm waiting for ppr also

CharitoJames:


Upfront medical has no appointment letter.
