Is this not too much information?

This page is supposed to be for sharing tips on how to apply for a Canadian study permit, but you guys have turned it into a street fight in the last couple of days.

Badadvisor and I are actually good online Nairaland friends. This didn’t just start it has been going on since around July last year I think.

It’s just a little back and forth between us.

I have asked for us to stop, but he keeps it going. My apologies to anyone affected I am only here to share the little knowledge I have.

again my apologies

Badadvisor:

Greetings to the Gurus on this platform, thanks alot for all the good work you do. Please, i need your assistance. I am in Canada on work permit, i tried applying for study visa for my 3 children and they just got refused. I need assistance to reapply for them.
Their rejection was based on not enough ties, insufficient fund (16000Cad) here in Canada.

Assistance with a strong reapplication will be appreciated

When did you apply? What province are you? What do you do? How much do you make? The officer puts all of these into consideration while access your kids applications. I'm in the same shoe with you. I applied for my three kids since November 2025 but not heard back from them.

Hi guys,
Please I need some urgent clarification about submitting PPR to VFS Lagos.
1. Should I pay for the two way courier on the VFS website
2. Proceed to DHL and also pay them for 2 way courier services.
3. There’s a consent of indirect submission and collection form. I’m a bit confused about what should be filled in the first part of this form as I am planning to use DHL courier services.
I attached the form, thanks for your answers

Guys, is 3 months' proof of funds enough for a Canada student visa, considering that I have between now and September to resume?

Some people might say it is good enough, but even Visitor visa. The IRCC website’s “Apply for a Visitor Visa” page suggests providing at least six months of bank statements.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/apply-visitor-visa.html

However, for a study permit, I have not seen a specific number of months officially required. That said, in good faith, the longer you can show a consistent history of funds in your account, the better picture IRCC has of your financial stability.

In my opinion and from experience, three months is not enough for Canada

maybe countries like the UK, Spain/other Schengen countries, Japan, and Switzerland. Some student visa instructions in those countries specify the last three months of bank statements showing the required funds.

For Canada, it is generally better to show more than the bare minimum required.

Remember, you are competing for one of the 155,000 study permits allocated to new international students in 2026. The remaining 253,000 permits are expected to go to current students extending their study permits.

So effectively, you are competing within that 155,000 cap unless you are applying for a master’s or PhD program.

I am sorry about the refusal. I know that can be very frustrating, especially when it involves your children.

If I may ask, what about your husband/ Father of the kids? That can help us understand the scenario from IRCC’s perspective.

Since you are on a temporary visa, the officer may believe that if your children come to Canada, there would be fewer ties to Nigeria. For “insufficient ties,” because your children are minors, the officer mainly assesses ties through you.

They may feel that if you do not get PR after your work permit expires, you may have little reason to return to Nigeria.

Regarding insufficient funds, bringing three children on a single income can raise concerns. Unless you are in the top income bracket ($120,000 above) supporting a family of four in Canada is expensive.

For a family of four (you + 3 children), officers may expect to see approximately $25,000–$35,000+ in available funds (depending on the province and whether tuition is involved). If you showed only $16,000 in total savings, that may have contributed to the refusal.

To strengthen a future application, you would need to clearly demonstrate that you will leave Canada if you do not obtain permanent residence when your work permit expires. Strong ties to your home country (employment prospects, property, spouse, extended family, financial commitments, etc.) can help.

It may be wise to have a professional review your case. You can search for a licensed immigration consultant in your city to properly assess your situation and advise on the best next steps.

Canada has over 100 universities offering master’s degrees, including MSc programs. You need to be specific about what you want and consider what life after school will look like.

Don’t just choose an MSc program anywhere or in any province. Pick a school and program that will give you better Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) options after graduation, or an MSc that aligns with in-demand fields and a job in it for Express Entry draws.

Do some research and choose the program that gives you the best opportunities..........don’t just go for anything.

I have some questions to ask you. Below are my questions
What institution?
What is their tuition fee?
What is your pay?
Are you the only sponsor?

Please I have an urgent question. For those who opened a GIC with CIBC, how do you wire from a 3rd party, i got a mail that the money must be wired from the account of the applicant. My question is how can a sponsor wire into the applicant GIC. any tips?

Could you state what the ODN mentioned as the reason for the refusal?

No other way... it must come from the applicant's account.

SOPWriter:
To answer your question, I first need to confirm if your program is eligible for a Spousal Open Work Permit. Is it a Master's, PhD, or a professional degree in fields like Medicine, Law, Engineering, or Nursing?

I don't know why it is taking so long before the application is processed. Our kids applications are already more than 3 months.

I guess it’s teaching us patience, submitted application in November, so I guess it’s around same time for us.

They will not consider your PGD for anything.

If you have a 2.1 in your first degree, you can apply for a Master program directly.

But if it is a 2.2, it has to be a Pgd in Canada.

Any help here

Congratulations to your aunt on her admission. Traveling with 2 minors while the husband remains in Nigeria is not a ground for refusal; however, there are some concerns.
1. How will she balance school + childcare while studying?
2. Is there family support in Canada?
3. Enough finances to cover the entire family
Once his wife and kids are in Canada, his ties to Nigeria weaken in the officer's eyes. To prove his must show very strong home ties. She and the kids can apply while the husband applies to visit later.
She will need a consent letter from her husband.

Good evening gurus,

I applied for admission in December and later found out in January that I'm pregnant with EDD of September. Apparently my classes will resume in September.

Other than the option of deferring the admission, which I'm sure I'll get, what other options are available to me.

My concern is if the pregnancy will be flagged during medicals and even if it isn't, will the airline lift a heavily pregnant woman.

This one is not the regular question I see everyday but I will try from my little understanding and people can correct me if I am wrong

First of all, congratulations on both your admission and your pregnancy

we need to break your question into 3 sections and look at it from the side of someone that is new to Canada with a child

1. Medicals and pregnancy

No, pregnancy itself won’t “flag” you in a bad way.

Pregnancy is not a ground for refusal and it won’t negatively affect your application. During immigration medicals, the only difference is usually around the chest X-ray. You can either postpone it until after delivery or do it with proper shielding if you consent. Many women complete their medicals while pregnant without issues. but for school I have not seen yet mostly Visitor Visa or PR I have seen.


2. Airline travel while pregnant


Airlines generally allow travel: Up to 28 weeks with no issue or 28–36 weeks with a doctor’s note or After 36 weeks, most airlines won’t allow boarding
https://www.acog.org/clinical/clinical-guidance/committee-opinion/articles/2018/08/air-travel-during-pregnancy

If your EDD is in September and classes also resume in September, you may be very close to full term. Even if an airline allows it, long-haul travel that late in pregnancy can be uncomfortable and medically risky. except you want to give birth to the child on the plan or in Canada hahahah


3. Other options besides deferring

Aside from deferring (which is honestly the safest and least stressful option), you could:

Ask your school if late arrival is possible. normally school will say max 2 weeks which is not possible as you can not leave a 2 weeks child and come to Canada to school

you can Check if any initial courses can be taken remotely.

Travel earlier (if permitted) and settle before 32–34 weeks but then you need to consider healthcare coverage and delivery costs which without a health card and maybe your school insurance would have not kicked in then is expensive $$$$$$$$$ so that’s something to think about carefully.

Cost of delivery with out insurance from school and no health card is about $17,000 CAD

In all honesty, if your start date and EDD are the same month, deferring to the next intake might give you peace of mind.

You will avoid travel stress, delivery in a new country without support, and starting classes immediately with a newborn will break you down quickly.

Wishing you all the best as you decide and congrats again
