BunmiBie:
Please guys, can someone guide me.
I am planning to start the express entry process for my family then before the end of the year I would start the student visa application for masters in nursing.

Is this possible?

If yes, I need someone to recommend an affordable school.
Which province should I target?
FYI: I am a registered nurse in the US but still on the student visa.

Please, I am actually not happy going through this process but I just have to do it. I need help guys.

Thank you

You will receive a Passport Request (PPR) letter in your IRCC account or by email..I can’t remember which one comes first. The letter usually comes quickly, and it will include instructions on how to submit your passport at the VFS office at lekki.

passport request letter has been received

Hello Bummie,

I wanted to reach out to you about a personal matter but I wasn’t sure if you’d like to be contacted via email.

I’m already in the US and I’m on track to graduate from my masters (Mathematics) in May. I have also completed most of my prerequisites and gotten accepted into a 14 Months ABSN program. Some questions I have is how did you pay for nursing school? What nursing program did you do ? ADN/BSN? Would you do it again?

Looking forward to your response.

Please send a DM

Honestly, Me I am tired with IRCC. I submitted my application on October 14, 2025, completed my biometrics on October 16, and even did my medical examination upfront to avoid any delays. Despite having fulfilled all the requirements promptly and responsibly, I still haven’t received any response or decision from IRCC. The prolonged silence is frustrating and emotionally draining, especially when I’ve done everything expected of me

There’s been a downsizing in govt workforce, a lot of people were laid off as the new PM strategy to reduce cost. The result is less staff to do more job.

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by JapaPrince: 7:39am On Jan 18

As you’re working on your study visa application also try and be looking into pathways to PR because that’s the immigration goal.
Understand how your course of choice, age and career will help you get there.
Start preparing yourself for a job in Canada, E.g
If you’re coming for cybersecurity course. You can start with CC cert from ISC, combine it with Compta A+ and make sure you take your Sec+ the first year you arrive here.
Apply for internship like Mad! Your life depends on it.
Do not get carried away by IRCC and their delays real life awaits.
Good luck!

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by Folksconnect: 6:10pm On Jan 18

Hello House,

Good evening to you all. Please, I would like to seek your advice regarding Canada.

I am 27 years old, married, with a son. I have close to four years of experience as a Data Scientist and AI Engineer, and I hold a BSc in Computer Science with a CGPA of 4.30. I am considering relocating abroad.

I would like to ask whether the student route is advisable and if there are options to move with my family through that route, or whether I should instead consider the permanent residency route via Express Entry or other available pathways. The Proof of Funds (PoF) requirement also seems to be a challenge for me.

I would appreciate any honest advice you can offer on the best way to proceed with my life and career.

Thank you.

Express entry is always the route, search for CRS ranking tool. Put in your details it should generate a score for you then check the last iRcc draw.
You’d probably qualify for FSW and maybe some PNP programs.

With the combination of your degree in Industrial Chemistry and healthcare training, you might want to consider programs in fields like Clinical Chemistry, Medical Laboratory Science, Biomedical Science, Pharmaceutical Science, or Toxicology (chemical or environmental). Look out for Post-Graduate Certificates (2 years) or Master's programs that specify they welcome applicants with diverse science backgrounds. Whichever choice you make, please ensure your program is PGWP-eligible if you plan to explore immigration routes after your program.

Wishing you good luck with your application.

Regardless of the size of your logistics business, it remains a valuable asset if you can present it effectively to the visa officer. You also made the right decision in targeting 2-year college programs, as that can lead to a 3-year PGWP if your chosen programs are eligible. The next step is to prepare your core application documents, including academic certificates, your SOP, business licenses, proof of funds, and asset documentation. When all of the above is in order, you can proceed to apply for your study permit once you have your Letter of Acceptance and Provincial Attestation Letter.

Wishing you good luck with your application.

Thank you @Sop writer but here is the issue at some point in 2018 when business started i had some bikes some got spoilt 2 got stolen i have been working from home all this while.

how do i go about this?

So we will understand what’s going on.

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by olasubomy: 9:07pm On Jan 19

[quote author=ACSH post=138195060][/quote]Encourage him not to give up – persistence is key in this process. While licensed Canadian immigration consultants are available to help, they can be quite expensive. Personally, I advocate for a do-it-yourself approach. By patiently reviewing the submitted application and doing some research, you may identify areas to improve for the next attempt.

Considering that January last year is quite a while ago, did you follow up with IRCC for an update since then? It’s possible that the file may have been closed. From my quick research, it appears that invitations to apply under the Federal Skilled Worker Program have not been communicated to applicants for some time. Recent invitations seem to be tailored towards French Proficiency, Provincial Nominee Program, Canadian Experience Class, and the healthcare sector.

In my humble opinion, it would be beneficial for him to start learning French in preparation for the French Test (TEF or TCF). Learning French is mainly to pass the test and not necessarily to communicate in it daily when he travels to Canada but an added advantage. This could give him an edge if you guys decide to apply for Permanent Residence from Nigeria or explore the pathway post-studies.

[quote author=JapaPrince post=138195981]His friend advised him to learn truck driving here in Nigeria, then apply for work visa . And yes, he has an agent. You can believe the ridiculous amount we paid this man and his so nonchalant about everything and he says that his an immigration lawyer in Canada.

Thank you all for the good work.

I have a question to ask.

I received an offer of admission for a post graduate study starting in September 2026. I was requested to pay a deposit within 10 days and my funds will only be available in about two Months. How do I navigate this issue? Can I email the school or what could be done in this regard.
Pls note I wasn't expecting a decision from the School so quick.
