Even though my agent said,I might encounter issue with the officer since my Programme has been withdrawn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

If you are lucky to be allowed in then thank your stars but that is not your only prob.

Do you have the money to pay rent and bills with no source of income till you are allowed to work?

It makes no sense risking it.

Don't bother much, the biometrics request will drop in account. It sometimes takes time before it is requested. Hopefully before it becomes one month it will appera

Thank you @ bullstriker

Did you pay $ 150 or $ 235 upon submission? If you have paid the biometric fee, please send a web form using “Urgent” in the first line and explain the issue.

Good evening guys, please my sisters was given admission (Master of Data Analytics) University of Niagara Falls Canada. The previous student advisor was very good and patient with us and was carrying us along on how to go about with everything, but he was recently changed and my sister was given another student advisor. When we told the new student advisor that we are ready to make our tuition deposit, he insisted that the school won't give her LOA even if we make the payment this September, that we need to wait till January 2026 before making our deposit as that is when the school will be able to give her the LOA. We explained to him that Canadian Student visa processing time ranges from 2 - 4 months for Nigerians and with such timeframe that she might not be able to meet up as her program is starting April 2026, but he kept insisting that the school won't give her the LOA (Letter of Acceptance) even if she makes the deposit payment this month (September), that she will need to wait till January to get her LOA and the said new student advisor have refused to state the actual reason for this delay.

Please guys I want to know if there could be any reason for this delay.

Thank you.

The student advisor just been honest!
Why issue LOA when you''ll need PAL for study permit application.
You'll have to wait for 2026 PAL allocations to issue LOA .
Even if you pay it's useless.
PAL allocations for 2026 will be by January 2026,just a thought.

MsLavender:
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.

Please check your email… we are both in similar situation now

The student advisor is right
If they will give you LOA, they will request for deposit under 6 weeks for PAL to be issued for your student permit. PAL for April 2026 has not been allocated which means you cannot be issued LOA for now.
Be patient and in the meanwhile convert your naira into dollar so that it does not devalue by the time you want to pay in January.

Hello everyone.

And lastly, my full tuition fee is $18,700cad, Room and Board I filled $12k, Other $12k and funds available for my stay $43k. Hope I'm not making a mistake, can someone please put me through. Thanks 🙏

You need to visit IRCC website and check the living expenses requirement. It is now above 22kcad for a single applicant.

Assuming your course is for one year and tuition is 18,700$, you need to show that you have at least a total of 41,700$ which is less than you have so you’re good. Just enter the correct values

Please can someone help me with PAL update at university of Niagara falls. I already paid my deposit still waiting for PAL

SonOfNobody:
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.

Well I think if you are not seeking for scholarship then you might not need the to write the GRE or GMAT. Also, it depends on the course of study as well.

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
