congratulations. pls when did your eligibility start. and did you receive a mail that a message is waiting for you on your portal

Yes I received a mail to check my portal.
Eligibility started the next day immediately I submitted my application. Don't know if it's because I had earlier been granted visit visa

Congratulations madam. I am also going to Queen's University, PhD program in Computing. The school also gave me full funding. However, I only used my personal account with just 470k and the award letter as sponsorship.
Did you use the GCKey? I used the new portal, and i felt like it was a mistake.





For a first class graduate in petroleum engineering which university can you suggest that'll give him scholarship?

Hey guy,

Please anybody here applied for their study permit through the IRCC new portal and got a decision faster than using GCKEY?

Please advise according? All approvals I've been seeking so far are from GCkEy.

Please kindly answer. Thank you

My brother got married at a local government in Ibadan in 2013 and would like to go ahead with the Canadian student visa application . He was given a Marriage certificate but when he tried inputting the number on the marriage certificate to the government website last week to check the validity, the number was not in the system. I’m afraid that the Visa officer might face this issue when he submits as well. He’s a little worried for now and would really appreciate any advice or knowledge of this matter please?

Go to any high Court and notarize ur affidavit of return. It is N500. Do not ask them how much it is if not they will cheat you.
Stamped by commissioner for oaths is what you get at high court , notarization is only done by notary public and it’s not 500 .. it ranges from 5k upward

If this is true, how is it that some schools in Canada don't accept HND for a postgraduate certificate?
ShowYoung:


For the purpose of credential identification only, I will like to clarify some things.

The word "diploma" does not mean all credentials that bear it have the same level of study. Some are higher in level than Bachelor degree, some are at par with Bachelor degree while some are lower.

Ordinary National Diploma (OND or ND) in Nigeria is equivalent to 2 year Diploma in Canada which is the one you want to study for. This is a credential gained after the first 2 years of study in Nigerian Polytechnics.

Higher National Diploma (HND) in Nigeria is higher than bachelor degree in Canada and is equivalent to Post Graduate Diploma in Canada. Many people confuse and compare Nigeria HND with the UK HND. They are different and Nigeria's is higher and is a 4-5 year credential. The UK HND is a three year university credential equivalent to Associate Degree or Advanced Diploma in Canada. HND is earned after 4 years of education + 1 year IT in Nigeria Polytechnic.

Many people have gained admission into Master's Degree and PhD with HND.

Advance Diploma (AdvDip) is one year less than bachelor degree. It is a 3 year credential.

Post Graduate Diploma (PGD) is one year higher than bachelor degree but a bit less than master degree.

Diploma of Higher Education (DipHE) is at par with bachelor degree.

Verified from World Education Service, Canada.

If this is true, how is it that some schools in Canada don't accept HND for a postgraduate certificate?

I believe your question is not related to credential equivalency discussion, but I will try to find some relationships between them.

Firstly, I don't know which college or university in Canada, Nigeria or elsewhere does not accept HND for PGCert, but I know many of Canadian universities and colleges accept HND for PGC or PGD; examples are Conestoga, NBCC, NSCC, Trent University, St Mary Uni, Fanshawe etc.

Meanwhile, you cannot expect to tender an HND in Biochemistry for admission into PGD Computer Science. They don't match or are not related.

You should also note that HND has been used to gain admission into a PhD program in the US. They are not mad in the US. Also, some universities in the UK accept HND for admission into Masters degrees.

Another point, according to World Education Service, Canada, Nigerian HND is assessed to be equivalent to Canadian PGCert.

Finally, admission requirements are complex than just looking at the level of credentials; example is some people have been accepted into PhD program straight with Bachelor degree while holders of Masters degree are rejected; examples of this kind of people are Dr DK Olukoya, Prof Wole Soyinka etc (I used big names so you can search, their admission has nothing to do with their names or positions). They have no Master degree but have PhD.

For admission, they look closely into many factors like grades, year of graduation, work experience, courses, overall CGPA, last CGPA and many other factors and not just someone having HND or Bachelor degree.

If you want proofs to any or all of the claims above, I am ready to provide.

Hello Guys,

Please I need to submit my application next week and I would like to use the GCKey portal but I could not find my way around how to send my application online, all I am seeing is how to send my application through VAC even though I clicked on online application. Or is it that I can not access that link on my phone? Please I need someone to explain how to go about this.

Also how can I pay for my visa application fee online too, since CBN has placed a ban on the use of debit cards.

Thanks I await a response asap.

🙏🙏🙏
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by ShowYoung: 5:53am On May 11, 2023

Please can you verify mine too. Total tuition fee for 2yrs masters degree is 17,900 CAD which is divided into 13,513 CAD for 1st year and 4,300CAD for 2nd year. I have already paid 13,600 CAD to cover entire first year tuition and has additional 18,000 CAD in bank savings after conversion . I also have annual 9000CAD as university funding support . The area is Lethbridge, Alberta.

Without recourse to the CAD 9,000 funding from the university, you may or may not need CAD 9,300 more.

You said you had CAD 18,000 after conversion. It may not benefit you if you do conversion compared to presenting your account in Naira.

You may have used the black market rate which will short change you. IRCC don't deal with Nigerians using the black market rate, they deal with Nigerians using the official CBN rate which is around $1/341 and not $1/570.

You may want to recalculate your funds using the official rate and have your POF presented in Naira.

Although, if the CAD 9,000 funding from the university is recognized, you may not need any more fund; I will advise that you play safe by ignoring the funding and ensure you have your funds complete. By this, you may have eliminated the risk of refusal due to "Financial or Personal Assets."

Join me and praise God everyone, PPR is here!

In all my 17 years in this forum I'll say this is the most profitable thread in the shortest of time. Thanks to everyone that contributed with tips, advises and information, God bless us all.

I am a first time applicant, did the entire workload myself from researching schools & provinces, gathering SP information, running the application process etc backed by the grace of God. Those still relenting need not to fear coz others succeeding don't have 2 heads.

Best of wishes to everybody still waiting for a positive response, we shall all make it.

Cheers

House pls I wanted to ask, when I submitted my passport for my visit visa, I ended leaving behind the biometrics slip because I signed on that paper to collect my passport.

Now I am to submit my passport again, will I be expected to bring the biometrics slip again or will be asked to pay ??
