What has happened over the last 2 years is overpopulation. They let in too many people that is now affecting the system. It is not that there is no job but the amount of students chasing the jobs are unprecedented. For example, before now, let's say the number of jobs available for students is 10 and students were 12 so only 2 students probably don't get jobs. Now there is still 10 jobs available for students but the number of students have increased from 12 to 36, you see the problem?

It is the fault of the government to bring in too many people within a short time frame. They messed up big time and they are going to be wiped out in the next election. This is why they are now trying to correct the issue by reducing the numbers of people coming in and tightening the entire immigration system but it is too late. It's going to take another 2 years to bring the ratio of jobs to people at a balanced level.

Having said that the students themselves are also to blame. The government can argue that they gave visa to students who demonstrated that they are financially capable to study without work. Every student who got a visa convinced the visa officer through their financial statements that they have the required POF so why are they not using it? The 20hr work a week was supposed to be jara to students and not for raising money to live in the country that is why you have to show the POF without considering money realized from potential working.

Our resilience and CANDO spirit in Nigeria is both a blessing and a problem because it makes us overdo things. Because of what Nigeria has put us through we believe we can survive in any situation without realizing the peculiarities of different situations.
There is no justification for someone not capable to go to another man's country as a student. A citizen can fall back on government benefits to stay afloat when kasala burst but a student is on their own after all you showed millions in your account before coming.

Abroad is not for everyone. Nigeria is not smiling but if you don't have the financial strength to make a successful move then stay back and fight the government instead, especially when you are going on a visa that is not a PR. Right now, there is no longer a guarantee that students will get a work permit after graduation as they are now trying to link work permit to labor market. People should stop gambling, it could end up badly for them.

Good evening, I'll like to know if a fixed deposits account with 45m closing balance can be used ONLY as a POF?

These courses are not my course eh, Canada really wants to discourage int’l students
Can there be a way out ? Can these laws change?

Change course that all. Or use EE.

I am of the opinion IRCC knows that loop hole. Changing course might cast once everybody starts doing that.

Can we change course when we gain admission? Because I’d be replying and my files are already plugged in

😂 any other way? Cause with this even those that are almost done with their courses will need to reconsider

I really need a professional advice here.... I want to apply for CONTINUING CARE ASSISTANT PROGRAM at Easten College Nova Scotia.... The challenge is that the school is among designated learning institution but non pgwp approved...

A Friend there advised me to go for it since they allow earn as you learn... He said while on the program I will get PR by applying for Nova Scotia provincial nomination program which will not be difficult since it's a health program and it's in high demand in the province...

Guys is this really worth going for? The tuition fee is about 11k cad..

My husband's sowp was denied in April alongside my children's study. I just finished my program and I have applied for study permit extension to start another program in January (using Gckey) but no reply yet.
How do I start d process of the vv for my husband and study visa for my children? Can someone here put me through?
Do I apply under my Gckey or I should open their own?
Is there a faster link apart from Gckey?
Our previous applications were done my an immigration consultant but now I want to do everything myself

There is thread for SOWP, I think you can get help there faster

You just spoke the mind of the people here in diaspora. I have spent 40M on this journey. I can't go back home again so we have to keep moving. I have friends here that will start crying once it's close to end of the month cos they need to pay their rent for the new month. We eat what we see not what we like. I had to use scissors and cut my hair cos I don't have money to make my hair. I finally got a job after 4months of being here but I can't even get 20hrs in a wk. Sometimes, na 8hrs/wk.
If I screenshot my indeed application, e reach 50 na so so unfortunately I dey get.
Ka saa ma dupe#sigh#

Well, I pray you’re not in this same situation. I’ve thought about it, but what about the money already invested on this journey ,the shame, embarrassment, and disappointment, along with the sense of failure, associated with returning to Nigeria with nothing after a celebrated relocation abroad with friends ,neighbour and family, and then moving back to the same street or back to the village to start a miserable, depressing journey. It’s not as easy as you think.

I am not requesting for sowp cos d road don close. I wat to do study for my children and this is d thread for study.

I am not a professional but I would recommend you to avoid any school or program that does not qualify for a PGWP. You can find schools and program that are close to 11k per year.

Check out Northen Lights College in BC. It is relatively affordable and has campuses in more affordable areas than Vancouver. I am not sure its Care Assistant program qualifies for PGWP. I think that program is less than 8 months. Read more on their website.

Help o people of God

[quote author=Kost post=129320277]Good day,

Were you able to successfully apply for your study permit on boarder pass

Please reach out to me on 07033624563

.

Good day guys

Please who has used boarder pass to apply for study permit.
Centennial college is requesting I apply for my study permit with boarder pass because they are partnering with them.

Each time I request for pal to enable me apply for my study permit, they kept referring me to boarder pass.

Please who can recommend a genuine and thorough agent/agency in Nigeria precisely Portharcourt that can assist one through this Canada study route process.

Application date- Sept 19, 2024

Please what is the process to submit passport at Lagos VFS? Do I have to book an appointment? Their system says no booking available for passport submission. Thanks.

Congrats 👏🏿. I think you can walk into their office to submit. Just go with the slip they gave you when you did your biometrics.

Some reviews about Boarder Pass has not been flattering, you can check online too. I read some where that some students elected to apply themselves rather use BP. You could engage your school on this.

I thought that too but want to make sure I am not missing anything. Thanks!

Wow that was really fast. Please walk me through how you applied? Any ideas that might help?

It seems Colleges protested to IRCC and they have changed it from Study permits approved to Study Permits applied for from November 1st 2024.

So bro you escaped, it won't be apply to you as far you applied before November 1st and your application got approved.

Congrats.

Lovebuddy:
Does this include those that applied this month

If you applied before November 1st 2024, it won't apply to you. Just hope your application is approved and when you go to study the course you will be exempted from the new PGWP eligibility for long term labour shortage courses.

Part of it is luck, and part of it is grace. My sponsor is my sibling (same surname), a Canadian. He has been supporting me financially for sometime with evidence in my bank account (5 months MyBankStatement and Statement of account submitted). He paid my tuition deposit and transferred money to my 9ja account to support my visa. My closing balance was less than 5m naira (no huge deposit except about 1m naira from my sponsor). I did upfront medical to potentially reduce the processing time because I was worried the program start date is near (Jan 2025).

My sponsor ensured the money in his Canadian account could cover my tuition and living expenses for the whole program (not 1 year) and still has about C$15k remaining. There was no huge deposit in his account, just his normal salary (five months statement submitted). His yearly income is about 4x my one year tuition and living expenses (employment document and payslips submitted).

I really was not expecting it to be this fast as the processing time have been increasing lately and I completed biometrics two weeks ago. I know people that applied before me with College Diploma admission and are still waiting, but I don't think the admission type matter and could count against an application. I was probably lucky with the processing time and result. I am grateful to God and doesn't take for granted the priviledge I have with my sponsor's profile and the direct relationship we share.

A fixed deposit is unacceptable as proof of funds for study permit application.

You can use your gckey account. There is no faster link

Thank you. To clarify, do you mean one can apply for PGWP alongside study permit.

No now, u apply for PGWP when you complete your study without any carry over or outstanding. One must be completed as a requirement for the other.

Good morning everyone here,
Please, I need advice regarding my student visa application. I have been given admission with funding to study for my MSc in a School in North Oshawa as a research assistant but I am to pay $2500 for acceptance. I am 29 years finished school 6 years ago. My employment history has not been really consistent. What amount do I need for my POF? What documents do I need to submit? Please @technix, @saucekid50 and other gurus here I need your help. I do not want this opportunity to pass me by.

Jeboy:

Ok thank you, then that means those that applied for a study permit before Nov 1 will still fall under this new requirements according to IRCC because they’ll need to apply for a PGWP afterwards.
