Bro, please be calm. This is actually my first time hearing something like this, and I’m here to learn too…

Do you mean your school sent you an email saying that the programme you applied for (the same one that was used to issue your study permit) has now been cancelled?

If that’s the case, what happens to all the money and effort already spent on securing the study permit? And will the same study permit still be valid for the same school if you decide to switch to another course?

Yes the course has been suspended for this session(FALL 2025)
Have been given option to defer to JAN 2026 or Choose another course
But the probability that I will get the LOA before when my flight will take off is the issue
If not I might have to forfeit my flight payment

I never saw this coming at all

Okonkwobestman1:
I don't believe there's any cause to worry. You can present your current docuemts at the border/POE and obtain a study permit.

However, once you're settled, it is your responsibility to immediately review the available programs in that same school and request a change of program. Otherwise , you will neeed to reapply for another study permit if you choose to change entirely to another school instead.

Even though my agent said,I might encounter issue with the officer since my Programme has been withdrawn

I believe it’s better to take the risk of going than staying behind to loss my flight ticket

But if am denied entry
won’t this have any effect on my visa or study permit if am to return for another intake in JAN 2026 ?

Please can someone direct me on how to apply for medical in Benin City center

I do not see the benin centre listed as an authorized IRCC medical centre. You may have to choose either Q-Life or IOM to be on the safe side.

I do not forsee any issue with going for a program few months before its commencement. The other thing you might want to do is to at least review other available program options in the school and email them for your new choice of program.

With that, you have an evidence to present at the border (IF YOU ARE ASKED). They might even issue you a study permit if you present the current admisison letter without having to call school. I'll advise that you stick to answering what they ask for rather than suggesting to them (border officers).

If they issue study permit for the duration of current program and you decide to start schoool at the next intake, it's also okay as your study permit can be extended inside canada easier than you think and as required.

If you choose to wait for the new program availability in Winter 2026 (which more often than not, is not guaranteed as program availability depends on potential students' interests, etc, ), then you can also start the converation now via email and advise the school of your choice. Again , you have proof for border officers.

Personally, I wounldn't risk wasting the flight ticket as I know some students arrive months before their program commencement. It will also enable you to settle, acclimatise properly with the local conditions, search for jobs/work with the available study permit, if possible, while you wait for commencement of your program. Other students in the area go still reason you what's up too.

If you choose to wait in Naij for winter, maybe check with the flight agents/website for their policy. Maybe there might be options to change your flight ticket for a later date with a little penalty/fee. my 2 cents sha.

I tried to apply to this school, but seems they are not welcoming Nigerians... Can you verify, I'd like to have a chat with you... I applied for precision mechnist at Holland college and they are resuming on sep 02,im yet to get a decision from IRCC.. I'd appreciate your response... Thatnk you.

Try my school. It’s a two year program. But tuition is very cheap.
My course was 11kcad for a year.

Same here bro... School resumes 2nd sep... Nothing from IRCC yet... What have you done about it?
Any advice

Okonkwobestman1:
Hello Everyone,

This group seems to be very quiet lately , either there are not too many people waiting or we just may have learnt the waiting game of IRCC. They really taught some of us "patience".

I was just wondeing if anyone else is waiting for decision , any July applicant in the house still waiting? Below is my profile since submission, nothing else

Nothing much, Just followed up with a web form requesting that they expedite the processing of the app since it's now beyond the processing time frame, and due to the school resumption slated for early September .

That was probably probably early last year or earlier. Check the website , Nigerians can apply now

Guess you’re for NBCC too? I’m hoping to hear from IRCC as soon as possible.

Good day house, I am new here and I just want to start my application.

I have degree in accounting with about years post Nysc working experience

Which university or college would you advice me to apply to and when is the best time to start my application for September 2026 and onward intake ?

I am married with a kid and the plan is to go first and my family will join me later

Note: I don't want to write GRE or GMAT

Thank you.

Hello All,

My wife and I submitted our application for a study permit and OWP respectively in May. She completed her biometrics in the last week of May and I did mine first week of June. Since then, we haven’t received any updates from IRCC.

Please , is anyone else experiencing the same delay?

Her school resumes on the 8th of Sept and we already paid one year tuition fees.

I have also done that.. Nothing yet, too bad the school doesn't defer admission and their refund policy isn't favorable.

Mine is Holland college, I just have few days left for decision from IRCC, my school doesn't defer and chances of refund is very tangible.

Congratulations in advance!
Your PPR email will drop soon. Don't panic, your visa is already approved in as much as you got a medical request.

Please when did you submit your application and where do you submit from?

This is the most misconception people have about Canada visa
I know a person that had medicals requested, visa denied the day after he got the request.

This Canadian Immigration Pilot Program remains a fast track to permanent residence (PR), but very few international students in Canada know about it.

Call the help center. The process has been outlined already. Apply for her gcms notes if you haven’t already. I suspect the processing center is RROC as they are known for being slow with study permits.

Hello All,

Medical passed on the 28th of August, 2025.

But I got a request email yesterday to submit a confirmation of tuition deposit, but the thing is that I have a professor's funding, so I am not required to pay any deposit until I begin my program. I have registered my courses, and I have PAL—all these without a deposit, if that counts. Now IRCC is requesting a confirmation of the tuition deposit, and they gave me a deadline.

Please, anybody in the house that can give me advice on the way forward, I would really appreciate it.

What was the reason for the refusal? a medical request or medical examination pass does not guarantee study permit approval.

Thanks for your response.
I will proceed accordingly

Does mpower Loan still work ? I’m in a group and people are saying Canada does not accept mpower loan anymore , how true is that cos I’m planing on using them for my tuition

JMG12:

That is exactly my point

People always assume that when they request medicals means they are done with proof of funds and other eligibility checks and that it means you’re about to be approved

The refusal was for proof of funds
So this debunks that myth.

Request a letter from the school, addressed to IRCC, stating that they guarantee the funds for your tuition fee, have applied your tuition deposit to your scholarship, and as a result, you are not required to pay the tuition fee. Additionally, the letter should confirm that you have already registered for courses, providing proof. The letter should also clearly state what the scholarship covers, how much will be provided per period, and when it will be disbursed.

Having said that, the best option is to make the payment and provide the receipt to avoid any issues that may arise. You can always request a refund when you arrive in Canada

speaking from experience, it is not wise to come now when your studies will commence next semester, you cannot work till school starts, you will only come here and be spending unnecessarily.be smart
