For your spouse to be eligible for a spousal open work permit, you must go for a master’s program of at least 16 months in duration, a doctoral program or a selected bachelor's degree, such as Bachelor of Education, Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

Children are eligible for a study permit regardless of the program they are enrolled in.

A spouse can apply for a visitor visa if the program is ineligible for an open work permit.

Send a message to IRCC via web form. Use “URGENT” in the first line and explain your situation. It shouldn’t take this long
that’s exactly what I have been doing but they keep receiving my web forms and do nothing

Go in person to the embassy... not VFS. Explain your situation to the security team: when you submitted, the actions you have taken, and your program start date. Hopefully, they will let you speak to someone.

I am to resume at Laurentian University in January. Are there any groups I can join to find accommodation or get relevant information? I’ll appreciate any help.

Thank you.
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by bullstriker: 12:31am On Dec 22, 2025
Your spouse can travel with you on an open work visa if you are going for a master’s program of at least 16 months in duration. The funds depend on the tuition fee, the program duration, the number of dependents, and the sponsor.

It is your nationality that matters not where you are applying from. Same rules will apply certainly.

Exactly, i already messaged the school to defer my session till may and i also rescheduled my flight till April. Don’t think they’ll want to keep holding my passport for 6 months
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by EmmanuelCena(m): 10:11pm On Dec 22, 2025
Hello everyone.

I'm looking to apply for either an MSc Or a 2 year Pgd.

I have a Bsc In Plant Biology & Biotechnology finished in 2016.

A Higher diploma in Public Health (Epidemiology and Reproductive health) 2024 frok The University of Ibadan Consultancy service Unit - I don't know if this counts, as there are claims that it is not an official degree

A Pgd in Business Administration, finished in 2024.

For work experience, I've worked and at present in the banking sector since 2018.

I'm looking to applying for a course somewhat health related and in high demand.

I am looking to prioritise courses with affordable tuition. Many of the schools I've come across seem to charge on a per credit basis and somewhat high.

I will be glad to receive suggestions as to great courses with prospects to Post graduate work permit and jobs after studies.

Thank you

.

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, please I need help, I just got my conditional admission letter at the university of Niagara fall Canada, I applied for MSc in data analytics and I am to deposit 5kcad before I can get my PAL and LOA
Please do anyone know of a scholarship going on? Thank you

If you have not gotten a decision yet, it is best to differ the admission as it will be very tight for you.

Thanks a lot for the feedback Chief

However, I am bothered by the Length of study.
Will 8 months guarantee pgwp?

I am looking towards a course that will guarantee about 3 years of pgwp to aid PR application.

I will be glad for suggestions.
Thanks

Hello Sir

Canada places a lot of emphasis on consistency, since you said you have been a banker since 2018, my advice is that you pursue a program in Management or Finance.

Health will not cut it at the Visa stage (you could get an admission for a health care program, and get bounced at the visa stage for inconsistencies in career path) because you have no working experience in that sector.

All the best

Good evening everyone, please who is applying for a study permit from the Uk. Please kindly reach out. Many thanks.
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by ATTAHDYE(m): 10:54pm On Dec 23, 2025
You can check your offer letter to see if there is an applicable scholarship that you have qualify for and have been awarded.

You can also search for scholarship opportunities that you qualify for and apply.

All the best

Reach out to your school to defer your resumption date.

Once it is done they will issue you a new LOA.

Send the LOA by webform to notify IRCC.

You don't need to withdraw or reapply for anything on IRCC.

All the best.

EmmanuelCena I agree with this statement

Canada places a lot of emphasis on consistency you can get an admission because schools just want international student money but the visa process will be very difficult as you are currently not doing anything in healthcare..

It does not add up and IRCC will look at your application that way..
