Hello House,

Please I have a quick question. My brother who has a visit visa has recently gotten admission to school here in Canada while on holidays. He was planning to go back in July. Now that he has gotten an admission he will like to apply from here.

My questions go thus:
1. can he apply from here while on a visit visa as inside canada or outside canada?

2. He only has his full Tuition for the one year program and my wife and I are willing to sponsor him and show the living cost balance from our Canadian joint bank statements.

3. What will I need to provide him if we are to stand as his sponsor?

4. Does he need to open a bank account here since he's around and we transfer the funds in there for him to support his application or bank statements/T4/Employment details from both wife and I will suffice?

Please house, I will need clarity on this.. anyone who has been in same situation before.

Thank you.

Pls anyone willing to share a room around Milton campus CIMT or close I am ready. Kindly reach out. Thank you

Goodday good people
I have a friend in Canada that wants to attend a Private College due to the expensive fees of the public colleges. The private college officials told her she’d do ‘flag pole’ (If I heard that well), that she would be able to get a post graduate work permit this way after study.
My friend is not sure about what the Private college officials said, and concerned about her chances of getting a PGWP after completion of the study.
Please help with clarification good people.

She should ignore them. You can only successfully flagpole if the school is offering programs eligible for PGWP. Since they aren't, then they will be turned back at the border.

My brother received his own last two weeks. He's heading to Fanshawe.

thanks a lot, You are right no 2 application is same. your advice is valid and true.

JustMellow:
Hello Eraytee,

Congratulations on your spouse's approval. As a contribution to SimiMaya's question, the advice JMG12 gave is valid. You and JMG12 are not wrong. What to note is that there is no two application and each applicant's situation isn't the same and each officer applies discretion differently when reviewing applicants' financial situations. A lot of cases supporting both JMG12 and your view have been witnessed on this thread and outside before, which turned out positive and/or negative. It will be very wise if SimiMaya include a personal account if it is sufficient and if the spouse's POF has scanty inflows that doesn't accumulates to a historical bank balance.





One Love!

Use the old portal, the new portal allow just single applicant

Kenn55:
Please guys,

For someone applying for study visa with her child, how should she go about it?

Apply for her study permit in a separate application and apply for her child visit visa in a separate application? Or is there a way she can apply together with the child?

I learnt there is old and new portal, which one should she use in this case?
Thanks

You need to insist that your school to send it through delivery service and not electronically

Tripitaka:
Good evening everyone,

I have a little confusion.

I'm trying to send my transcript electronically to Canada. My school requested that electronic copy of the transcript "must be sent via a secure delivery service, directly from the official institution".

I now reached out to my undergrad school, and they're saying they typically send via mail to the school directly without using any intermediary and that it's always honored.

Its confusing for me becasue if they are to send directly.tl Canada, it means the instruction of using a "secure delivery service" have not been met.

Does this matter or can my school send directly to Canada?

Someone please help

I did mine at Qlife same day with you, I mailed the hospital on Friday to know when the result will be sent to IRCC and I was told it take 10 working days excluding Public holidays.
You can send a mail Qlife using the email address on their website

Good Morning house, I need some advise to apply for a visitor visa for my wife and the kids to come and visit me in Canada during my study

Also, i recently applied for a semester break to resume my second semester in September 2024 instead of May 2024, which is already approved and i was issued a leave approval letter from the school.

My question now is that should i include the leave approval letter for semester break in their application or i should not mention it? because i mentioned i needed a semester break due to unexpected marriage conflict in the course of my absence around my family, which has increasingly been difficult for me to concentrate with my studies and this really affecting my mental health.

Can i also state this as their reason to visit me in Canada for duration of 2 weeks?

Can they stay in the hotel during their visit in Canada

Note: They were recently refused in January 2024 for SOWP & Study visa for the kids because i didn't included my own bank account and despite that my wife had a sufficient funds in her bank account with the proof of funds.

Your insight is highly needed

Thanks







the reason istates the reason why i wanted to to visit me? Because i mentioned

Hello, please include it as ur family still applying for visit visa , you can include it in your support letter but u have to also proof it better for your family to come visit then you going to visit them and please document everything becos l notice ircc refuse some pgwp visa based on the fact the student dont graduate from the program within the sitpulated time and in your situation that you now asking for semester break means u will not finish ur program within stipulated time according to ur student permit and also where was it stated that ur family sowp was refused becos you did not include ur bank statement while ur wife account is well funded did you order ur gsms note?

1. Yes, he can apply from inside Canada
2 & 3. He should go ahead to make his tuition fee payment while you and your family can act as his sponsor, submit all required documents, and ensure he does it as if he is applying outside of Canada.
4. Instead of opening an account why not go with the GIC option. I think this will be better because the account might not meet the 4-6 month requirement.

Actually you are not eligible to work part time or full time in a period of leave as a student...family visit application may be refused as you are not considered a full time student within the period of leave.

Good....

Leverage on your work experience to apply for a Post Graduate Certificate admission, cos there seem to be a connection with your work experience and project management.

I don't know if you submitted a COVER LETTER and a Canadian Style RÉSUMÉ for your admission, if you didn't, do that in your next application for a PostGraduate Certificate program, it could/would boost your chances for the admission and show you are a good fit for the program.

You need to Draft a cover letter for admission that will show the admission committee how your work experience, your Bachelor's degree align with the post graduate certificate Program most especially the course outline of that program

Look at the Cover Letter for Admission to Cambrian College, Sudbury, Ontario for Project Management based on your Work Experience, Academic background and course outline for the project management program

Post Graduate Certificate in Project Management
Cambrian College
Sudbury, Ontario

Dear Admissions Committee,

I am writing to express my strong interest in the Post Graduate Certificate in the Project Management program at Cambrian College. The comprehensive course outlines you provide align perfectly with my aspirations and professional background, making this program an ideal fit for my continued education and career growth.

My work experience as a Program Officer 2 at the National Orientation Agency in Lagos State, Nigeria, has equipped me with practical skills that resonate well with the content of the project management courses offered in the program. I have successfully led the development of project scopes, budgets, and timelines while obtaining necessary approvals, a practice that aligns closely with the curriculum's emphasis on Project Scope Management, Project Quality Management, and Project Cost Management. Additionally, my collaboration with the Purchasing Department on RFP development and contractor selection reflects a synergy with the Project Procurement Management module.

Having facilitated project meetings involving internal and external stakeholders, I have gained insights into effective communication strategies and stakeholder engagement, skills that would be enhanced further through the Project Stakeholder Management course. My dedication to proper project close-outs, including final punch lists and close-out documents, resonates with the principles emphasized in the program's Project Integration Management module.

Furthermore, my academic background in International History & International Studies, combined with my work experience, positions me well to appreciate the relevance of the Business Ethics and CSR module, as well as the Indigenous Business Workshop. These courses resonate deeply with my values and aspirations to contribute positively to the community and society at large.

I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to apply Agile Project Management principles, learn about sustainability through the Sustainability Workshop, and engage with the diverse perspectives offered by the Indigenous Business Workshop. The comprehensive coverage of topics in the program outline mirrors my passion for effective project execution and aligns seamlessly with my career goals.

In conclusion, I believe that my work experience as a Program Officer, coupled with my academic background, will greatly enrich the learning experience in the Post Graduate Certificate in Project Management program at Cambrian College. I am confident that this program will provide me with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in the field of project management and contribute meaningfully to complex and dynamic projects.

Thank you for considering my application. I eagerly await the opportunity to contribute my experiences to the program and learn from the diverse perspectives of both faculty and fellow students.

Sincerely,

Your Name

About DIPLOMA admission,

Yes, a diploma is a wrong Academic Progression for a Bachelor's degree holder. A Visa Officer officer will most likely frown at that, cos he will assume you just want to JAPA (Wrong Purpose of Visit to Canada). Since you have a Bachelor's degree, a Visa Officer will expect you to go for a Post Graduate Certificate or Masters (depending on your grades) in a related field to what you studied in the University (Academic Progression) or work experience even if it's not related to what you studied in the University (Career Progression).


Though some members on this platform have said that if such applicant can give cogent reasons on his/her SOP why he/she wants to go for a Diploma (as a Bachelor's degree holder) instead of a Post Graduate Certificate, then that person's study visa application might be approved.


I would suggest you await the response of the gurus on that, or some based on experience response from Bachelor's degree holder who used diploma admission to get their Study Visa Approved to Canada before you make a move.

Good luck

i believe this is a dated post but I believe their's still some insight that needs more light here. Pls is pgd(post graduate diploma) same thing with Pgcert like u mentioned?Reason for this is that, I'm a graduate of B.eng in civil engineering aspiring to study supply chain and operation management a pgd programme in canada. however,does my academic progression hinders my chances of visa approvement?

Hello house,
please is there anyone that summit medical report with visa application for study route, and medical report have been updated as passed and not received final decision yet.

Secondly, is it possible for medical to be updated as passed, and eligibility not yet started?

Lastly, What's the probability of PPR after getting medical passed, even though the applicant did an upfront medical.

igmentality:
The deopsit was paid via credit card, on their application portal. but before that i got an email requiring me to fill a consent form and a deadline was given to fill the form after which it was required to pay the 2000CAD within 10 days.

I just paid the 2k. How soon will I receive the PAL after making the payment?

In Canada, a Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) and a Postgraduate Certificate (PG Cert) are not the same, though they are similar. PGD is offered at Universities, while PG Cert is offered by colleges. Also Some PGD programs tends to have higher admission requirements than that of a PG Cert most especially in the aspect of grades.

Both are aimed at providing further education and specialization after completing an undergraduate degree, but there are a few key differences:

1. Length of Study: A PGD typically lasts one to two years, while a PG Cert usually spans a shorter period, often less than a year.

2. Depth of Study: A PGD generally offers a more in-depth and comprehensive study compared to a PG Cert. It may include a project or a thesis, whereas a PG Cert is more about gaining specific skills and knowledge in a focused area.

3. Purpose: PGDs are often pursued by those looking to deepen their expertise in a specific field or pivot to a new area that may be related or unrelated to their undergraduate studies. PG Certs are usually aimed at specific skill enhancement or updating current knowledge to align with industry demands.

Regarding visa approval, having a clear academic progression or a logical career pathway that aligns with your studies can indeed be beneficial. However, it is not typically a hindrance unless there are major discrepancies or inconsistencies in your application. Your move from Civil Engineering to Supply Chain and Operation Management can be justified in your statement of purpose by highlighting the relevance of management and operational skills in engineering projects, and your desire to broaden your professional scope. This explanation can show a thoughtful career progression plan, which can be advantageous for your visa application.

For real? I thought pof is only for one year

JMG12:
You need to determine that
POF= 1st year tuition fee + 2nd year tuition fee + 1 year living expenses + 2nd year living expenses

It is advisable to have your complete funds available to you, to avoid telling convincing stories how you will fund the 2nd year.

EbenMayor:
For real? I thought pof is only for one year

I think CAC information can be updated, because the original founders of a company can sell or part of their shares and this will have to be back up with legal documents or the CAC profile updated.
