in regards to upkeep with form A, please how do you plan to receive it while abroad? i assumed its only cash they give out for it.


johnstan:


I changed part to usd and funded my dom account so i could use my usd card. I did not want to carry cash and be worried about change. I plan on apply for Form A - upkeep maintenance so i can use bank rate for the rest (upkeep maintenance is now once a year).

At POE i was asked for only my letter of introduction and visa.

Nah, i dont know any one schooling at centennial. I booked an airbnb online before my departure. (book early so you can get it cheap).

If you will believe me..the Visa Officer will help you re-arrange them,and you will know when you will start seeing ghost updates on your application.But I dont know if any other person have a contrary opinion.

i'm so thankful for all the pointers on this page.

I have commenced the family application using IRCC portal (new portal). i have created a profile for myself. I did the ''add new member'' and When i tried to create a profile for my son, at the beginning, i select ''Visitor's Visa'' to visit a parent who is an international student.

About 4 questionnaires later, there's a space for ''Letter of invitation'' i don't have that. No one is inviting my son to stay. i honestly don't know how to answer this and so I'm stuck on the application.

Can anyone help please?

Thank you
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by tamsam19: 12:58am On Jan 03, 2023

teebullion1:


Thank you

You will need to use GCKEY portal to apply together with your family. When answering the questionaire you'll be asked if you're coming with family members, answer yes and fill details of the family members coming with you. The IMM forms and documents you need to fill and upload for each family member will be listed when you are ready to submit your application.

It will end in praise

You need to write Letter of Invitation in which you explain to the visa officer why you want your son to accompany you to Canada.

Once I open an account here after the pub holiday, funds will be wired via form A to the account. It's different from PTA/BTA and school fees payment. One can only apply once a yr now due to FX issues.

Well, this doesn’t seem like a wise decision. Why are willing to study in a private college with prior notice that the program doesn’t qualify for a postgraduate work permit. Seems like waste of time and money. Well, is there a particular reason for that?

When you eventually apply to a public college, you get a 1 year pgwp which may not be sufficient for your PR processing.

Good morning All,
Pls, did anyone that submitted passport previously, receive a message from IRCC directly notifying that their passport was received at IRCC office?
If yes, can I pls see a pic of the message or the exact message as it was received?

Thanks.
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by NGOZIGLORI(f): 7:52am On Jan 03, 2023
@Jonhstan pls at the Nigeria airport here what documents did they ask for?

Do they ransack the luggages at any of the airport?

And pls the yellow card how can one obtain it. And at what cost?

Am meant to understand that at Toronto, it's basically the introduction letter and passport that they usually ask for?
Did they ask for POF at the Toronto airport?

Thank you.

PPR Timeline and Documents

First Time Applicant
I give God the Glory for making this a reality. Truely, what God cannot do does not exist!

I would like to thank @Teeebabyyy, @Johnstan, @Thomysne @Jaykeh @Trailblazer21 @bullstriker @Joedave25 @lolathegenie and @Gigdraft @Yemilizzy for giving prompt response to my questions.

I submitted my application in July. I started visiting this platform after and I gained some wealth of knowledge.
My SOP was simple and straight to the point (2 pages with one extra page listing the documents I submitted).
I also had lump sum of 2M from my sponsor in my personal statement of account and also salary account which was a bonus from work. I did not explain the lump sums and when ever I see peoples' PPR story, I get anxious and the thought of explaining the lump sum and sending an updated SOP via webform always came to mind but I never did. To be sincere, after seeing some PPRs and documents submitted on this platform, I get worried about my application. I decided to relax and trust God to perfect it.
In August, I got a scholarship, sent it via webform but never got a response (aside generic response) until October. I also sent an email to the MP but they replied that the agents were busy with Russia applicants so they couldn't help.
2nd week in November, I sent a webform to ask for update on my application.
The following week, I forwarded email to Nairobi office.
The 4th week, I emailed Accra, Nairobi and London asking for update and also requesting them to expedite my application. That same week, I ordered my CBSA note. Lo and behold, I checked my portal a week after and saw that my eligibility had started. The following day, I received a medical request.

From research, Uniwaterloo has a superb software engineering program. Not sure if they have an okay acceptance rate but you could give it a try.

Hello All,

Thank you for being so helpful here. I’ll be coming to Waterloo campus in April for May ‘23 intake, I’d really like to ask questions after your first semester in April (being that you would have gotten a hang of the system). I hope that’s okay with you.
I wish you all the best!

Do you know abt the iCent app to be filled- I heard its mandatory.

This doesn’t sound good at all, the PGWP will still counted as 1 year because the previous college is not eligible.
