Hello guys,

Please which visa centre handle application from Nigeria and i also need their email.. PLEASE 🙏
No specific office, it can be assigned to any visa office, though lately many applications from Nigeria have been processed by RROC. Check on IRCC website to confirm which office processes SP applications from Nigeria and send webform to them.

Hi, I have a question, it's about PGWP, with the recent changes, if I am aiming for the 3 years PGWP, will the graduate diploma or certificate program (like 1 year) be sufficient to apply or I need to focus on masters (2 years) program if my aim is the 3 years PGWP?
Either you do an 18months masters or you do 2 different 1 academic year programs. It's called 1+1. But each of the program must ne eligible for pgwp for it to count.

So it's not a requirement for UK student visa application?
I am not sure. I assumed you are in a Canada thread hence it would be for a Canada study visa. I am not sure if it's required for a UK visa

How can one identify the visa office (centre) that is processing his study permit application? I have an application of over 3 weeks in progress which I apply from UK. I would like to know the centre, if possible.

Good afternoon house. I ordered for my GCMS note since March 3rd and after I got the temporary tracking number, I haven't received a reply from them since then. Please is this how it usually is? Cos I don't know if there's a way to follow up.

Hello honorable members ,
Please I need your informed and evidence based advice on this as this is our very first time of trying Canada:
So my wife was given admission to study BSC nursing (accelerated) at university of Trent Peterborough, to start this September. Do you think we have enough time to get our visas in time for the resumption date? (Someone told me that decision time now take longer than usual but I don’t know the veracity of this info)
If yes, please where do we start from and how do we proceed, after paying the deposit?
We are in the Uk so I don’t know if it will make any difference.

Also, please if you are presently schooling at this university or an alumnus, I will greatly appreciate any additional info.

Thank you

i am going to CNA for september intake. any updates?
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by Jeboy(m): 6:26pm On Mar 27, 2025
All Masters programme irrespective of length a year, 16months or 2 years gets 3 years PGWP. That was earlier implemented before all these recent change. It's only College that needs two certificate programs (at least 8 months length each) or a 16month diploma program to qualify for 3 year PGWP.

You can know the office processing your application by check the website to see where applications from your country of residence are processed, however this does not always happen as the application can be routed to any office or call IRCC or see it from your GCMS notes.

Is it possible to request for GCMS notes while an application is in progress?

There is enough time for you to submit your application; check with the new policy if the program covers dependents. Been in the uk doesn't make any difference as long as you meet the requirement; your visas will be approved.

Thanks for the response 🙏🏿.
Yes, the new policy allows dependents for people studying professional courses like nursing.
Can you please advise on the documents we need for the visa application?
I know of Letter of Acceptance, PAL and proof of funds .
I read it somewhere that we need to pay for health insurance but I’m not sure about this.
Also, please how is the proof of funds like? I heard you also need to show ties to your home country.


I know the questions are a lot, I will appreciate any input at all.

Thank you .

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by DTravel(f): 6:55pm On Mar 28, 2025
Hello All. I got email from IRCC this morning and checked the portal. It was updated with biometric validity letter. No other update. I got this letter with my denial in my last application. I just checked again now and the Final decision section was also updated but doesnt say the application status huh

DTravel:
Hello House. I am sharing the current state of my application and want to join the conversation during this my second application. Find details of my process so far.

1st Application:

Upfront Medicals Booking: 16 August 204
Upfront Medical at Q-life: 23 August 2024
Study permit Submission date: 06 Sept 2024
Biometric Collection Letter: 07 Sept 2024
Biometric Date: 11 Sept 2024
Biometrics updated: 13 Sept 2024
Rejection letter: 22 October 2024
Eligibility and background check updated on 23 October 2024

I ordered GCMS notes within a week of rejection and that came out 20 November. It said my study plan was vague and it wasn't clear how the course would progress my career goals.
I updated my personal statement with one page on study plans, how it affects my career, etc. I added another page for family ties and return plans to Nigeria. I also added my business ownership documents and family business shareholding. I requested deferment from the college and got new LOA and PAL (2025 PAL received 05 February)

2nd Application:
Application date: 13 February
Biometrics updated automatically
Medical Passed via platform update: 26 February

Not an expert, but pick the one closest to you.. Make sure you go with 2 photocopies of Ur documents,
Appointment letter 2 colored photocopies
Passport (data page and first page) 2 colored photocopies..
Biometric instruction letter too
Photocopy was 3k per copy in Lekki, I felt like I was scammed, so do urs before you go.

Hello. I was wondering where you went.

You can use the tracking tool. It looks like an approval so congratulations.

Hello Everyone,
Please I need counsel. I've gotten admission in conestogota college in to study Nursing Leadership and Healthcare Management coming fall semester this year.
I've been told to pay the school fees deposit.
Please what's is required of me to apply for visa after paying the school fees deposit?
I'm currently in UK, I need an agent to guide me through
I also need support with proof of funds for my Nigeria account for 4 months.

Kindly assist...
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by Viewoliver: 9:15am On Mar 29, 2025
I don't understand what is going on with my application. I have been signing into my tracker and all I see are information on submission since 4th March and nothing else. Could it be my application is not yet attended to? I am anxious because UK processing time has been updated to 4 weeks and my application will be 4 weeks by next week. What do you think is the issue?

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by Viewoliver: 9:24am On Mar 29, 2025
GCMS notes is requested. Thank you for the information, I didn't know that Gcms notes can be requested on a pending application.

Bobomaigida:
Yes you can.
