Pekela:
Good morning my people

Please I would like to know if it's still allowed for student going for masters to travel with their dependants on their application.

Thanks

Yes, please ensure the programme is 16 months long in duration so the student can qualify for PGWP after studies.

Thank you !

The 16 month duration criteria is for spouse or family accompanying the main applicant via SOWP or family work permit not really for the PGWP itself.

To qualify for PGWP is automatic for all Doctoral
Masters and undergraduate Degree programme. Only Colleges or non undergraduate programs from Universities requires specific programme (STEM, Health, Agric, Construction and Early Childhood Education) to qualify for PGWP.

I got a B grading in my health assessment, because I have elevated serum creatine, how bad is this?

Hello house,

Please I want to ask if the husband mother can sponsor the wife education by presenting her business registration CAC, farm document, receipt of sales, pics of the farm and also her pics working on it, they got a gift of land from the wife’s mother as a wedding gift…. Presenting deed of gift, property evaluation, receipt of the land when it was bought, deed of agreement.
The husband will be going with the wife, though they both work here in Nigeria so the will present their employment letter, pay slip, the wife study leave permit… and also their bank statement the issue now is that their both salary isn’t much so the money will be transferred from the sponsor to their both salaries account which they will present along with their application,…. Should they put the money in one person’s account or split it, can they use their account or it’s compulsory to present the sponsor bank statement?
I meant should the money be transferred to their wife or his and account or they should leave it in the mother in law account? If they are to use their account will they still need the sponsor bank statement?
can all the narration above fly
Please helpppppp

They must include the sponsor's account.

Their greatest challenge will be convincing the VO due to their economic establishment in Nigeria. I am referring to their low salary. On top of that, the husband and wife want to travel same time been sponsored by husband's mum. Will be very difficult convincing a VO of your intention is to truly study and return to Nigeria

I got a B grading due elevatated serum creatine in my health assessment, could you please advice me on the possible next action?

It is not that easy, the fact remains that Canada needs the population, present realities have also shown them that they need to start expanding their population growth, agreed that new policies introduced are slowing the tide, however, once the tide has been steadied, they will start growing back up by increasing the immigrants' intake.

Hmmmm..New canada 🇨🇦 immigration minister is a woman ...Rachel Bendayan will take over from marc miller .

LOL, hopefully her tenor will be favourable to everyone, Canada needs to start acting like a 1st world country and beef up their infrastructure and population, like I said they might slow it down now but in 2 to 3 years they will be begging people to come.

It’s going to be tough, and it may not favor immigrants if she wants to increase her party's chances. With the federal election likely happening within the next two months as the new prime plan to call an early election , the Liberals will need to act quickly. Currently, Liberal ratings aren’t favorable, and immigration with the economic is a major issue. Even recent poll show that Over 80% of newcomers feel Canada is bringing in too many people without proper planning, and most Canadians believe immigration levels are too high. To improve her party’s image, she’ll need to take decisive actions, such as reducing immigration numbers, deporting overstayers, and cutting student visas. These steps may be the only way to secure a win, or else Pierre Poilievre Conservatives will win the next election

Realistically, she cannot cut down more than what Miller has done, cos the truth of the matter is they still need people. They might increase enforcement removals but reducing the numbers further will be counter productive. Some schools are struggling with their finances, hoping that govt will offer support, but with the looming presence of Uncle Sam and his tariffs, the govts are all saving funds to battle Uncle Sam, and this has somehow changed the election dynamics, the CONs have been struggling to get a good campaign line since their punching bag (JT) stepped down. If you noticed, the main talk of the election is now Uncle Sam not even Economy and Immigration to some extent like it was before. The US election has also shown people that politicians will always promise heaven and earth like Trump promised to bring down the cost of food from day one but the cost have even risen since he came in so the CONs trying to use that inflation message have been countered with what is happening across the border.

The PM is still maintaining temporary cap on immigration but focused on transiting temporary residents already in Canada over the years before the growth to permanent residents.

The problem with canada is that the country has low birth rate while birth rate has no significant increase against death rate..
In 2023/2024 according to statistics canada number of birth was 359,885− number of deaths was 344,593=15,292 natural growth..
As you can see if you deduct birth rate from death rate = only 15,292 natural population growth,the rest of the population growth is ⛽️ fuelled by pumping foreigners into the country, until the system solves its low birth rate,they will need more immigrants in years to come for economic growth and expansion.

The birth rate arugment cannot be table before canadian voters and no party will raise that in an election year as Many Canadians are frustrated with rising unemployment, even newcomers struggling to find professional work, along with high housing costs, the cost of living, and overcrowded schools and daycares, with little development to support the growing population. Many believe these issues stem from uncontrolled immigration. There's also concern that colleges may lose funding or even close due to low enrollment from international students. However, many argue that education should not rely solely on funds from foreign students, as this adds strain to already stressed social services.

Hi Everyone,

Good Morning. I still remember coming here to ask about admission. I'm grateful to God for making my application a success and also to everyone here especially those who replied me.

I think I have done basically everything I am expected to do. I want to start buying things gradually.

I am not sure what to buy. Does anyone have a checklist ✅ of items to get? Would be helpful

Thank you

My only fear is that many students don't see the bigger issue ahead. With the current projections, more than half of the current temporary residents already inside Canada which include student will not be able to get PR. So, a smart student needs to position themselves in a good advantage, which may include learning French to have an edge.

Which portal would you advise someone uploads his study permit application, old or new portal?

What if the business is in the husband name? Is it better?
That will take care of the low salary issue and also the sponsor issue right?

Immigration has been relegated somewhat in the election consideration all thanks to Uncle Sam, which has also revealed to the govt that they need to have a distinct identity from the US and they can only do that with bigger infrastructure, population increase that will help replace the old tax paying citizens and the cap on temporary immigration has been having its effect, rents have dropped from January by 5% averagely, so I do not see any additional cap been introduced in the near future.

Economic ties will serve better, the job, prospects for better paying job, etc

What about the students and legit immigrants already in Canada?..let's even leave those who are yet to come.

They allowed them come to school in Canada with the hope of easy pathway to PGWP and SOWP and now they changed the goal post midway
That's not fair at all to Intl students who came to invest in education. I expect the new minister from Moroccan descent to reduce some tough policies Miller introduced. against Intl Student. They are not entirely responsible for the problems in Canada..

So were you still given work permit even with the fact that you stated that you are just going to settle in for 8 weeks then return to your home country.
I just got a letter of acceptance at Dalhousie University and I am planning to relocate with my hubby and 3 kids. I am just thinking how we can convince the visa officer that we will be returning to our home country after my studies. Please all i need your advice on this.
Tnx in advance

I appreciate and congratulate you on your PR achievement, but please stop giving false hope with ur statements 'you will see work tired.' It is a bogus and unrealistic claim given the current state of Canada, where many professionals are struggling to find jobs. Even survival jobs are not easy to get, as more and more people are arriving in Canada, but job creation is not keeping up with the increasing population.l pray God help many new arrival struggling to found work or in a low pay job that hardly covers increasing cost of living.[/quote]

Well the focus of the government is to transit most of them to PR instead of bringing newcomers to 🇨🇦 canada through PR pathway...
Even some province like Yukon is offering support letters for TFW's in yukon canada 🇨🇦 working on may 2024,that has work permit expiring in 2025 a 2years work permit extension to give time for transition to PR or to retain work experience..

Whether birth rate is table or not to Canadians which they don't necessarily needs to...
The fact remains that the country has low birth rate and high death rates from statistics, until the issue is resolved they will rely on immigration from time to time..
The country is also not ready for expansion,I can remember when previous immigration minister was on a press conference on immigration level plan he said "Canadians doesn't need to build houses anymore" referring to cap on immigration, since Canadians are blaming shortage of housing on immigrants..
The cap is already having serious effects on colleges as of now IRCC has relaxed pgwp eligibility for students pursuing Bachelor's degree to apply regardless of field of study,this benefits colleges offering Bachelor's degree programmes,this a new information spreading allover the place ,I can't confirm exact date updated on IRCC website..
