POF OF HOW MUCH?

Rahab409:
I applied for my study permit alongside my spouse’s open work permit on 5th April 2026. Since Monday, 6th April was a public holiday, I scheduled my biometrics for Tuesday, 7th April, while my spouse completed hers on 9th April 2026.

Surprisingly, we both received approval for our visa applications on that same 9th April 2026 at about 3:55 P, while my spouse’s biometrics appointment was scheduled for 1:00 PM that very day in Lagos.

For context, I had previously handled my UK student visa application for my master’s degree myself, and it was also approved.

So why am I sharing this?

If you need guidance or have questions that haven’t been answered, feel free to drop them here. Others may also benefit, and I’ll do my best to guide you based on my experience.

Getting approval within three working days after submission was honestly unbelievable—I didn’t see it coming.

You may want to reach out to me on +2348172665795. Whatsapp only

Disclaimer: I am not an immigration officer. I can only offer guidance based on my personal experience applying for my study permit and my spouse’s open work permit.

National Stadium? Na e get am!

Hmm 👀

Wait, no shade though Let me understand you used a Nigerian passport and applied for a study permit alongside a spouse’s open work permit on April 5, 2026… and got approved by April 9, 2026? so thats 4 days

Well well… things dey happen 😄 the same IRCC we know

I have removed my WhatsApp contact and revised the entire post. I only included it initially because I’m not very active on Nairaland, and I wanted anyone who needed guidance to be able to reach me easily.

However, due to the backlash I received, I have decided to take down the write-up and simply wish everyone the best in their applications. My intentions were genuine—I truly wanted to help, and at no point did I request any fee. I even included a disclaimer to make that clear.

Omo, God abeg ooo.

In the end, we will all be alright.

BScN for 2026 are all closed, but I see some schools still open for RPN 2026 (16months).

My plan is to go for RPN sept 2026 intake and graduate December 2027 (16months). Then start RPN to BScN bridging in Sept 2028 (16 months)

Lots of schools offer RPN to BScN (bridging).

amnotapervert:
Deep down, you already know that BScN is the better option, but you are worried about the time (4 years) and possibly the cost, especially since OSAP grants have been reduced by the Ford government.

At the end of the day, you know your financial situation and your academic ability better than anyone here. But think about it this way: if you go for RPN, after about 2 years you might start wishing you had just gone straight for BScN.

What I am saying is, that thought may always stay in your mind I should have done BScN it’s just a couple more years.

The choice is yours, but BScN definitely offers better long-term opportunities. Even though RPNs and BScN nurses often do very similar work, BScN nurses typically have more career options and can earn higher pay.

Think long-term about what you really want for your life.

My honest and genuine advice:

If you can handle the 4 years, go straight for BScN.

If finances are tight or you want a quicker path, start with RPN and then bridge later.

Best choice for you ooooo...Besides BScN that year 1 courses is a waste of time..
In some schools you fail practical or some courses in year 2,you will repeat class..

Go for it RPN to BScN (bridging) is the best option you will be proud of yourself in 4/5 years from today

time will go faster than you know it

I wish you all the best ......

We are all here to learn .....even me I learn everyday but I have a few questions about what you said. No bashing I am just trying to understand.

To be honest, I don’t fully believe your story, but I am giving you the benefit of the doubt. Personally, I still have doubts, but who am I to judge? That said, I would appreciate it if you could answer a few questions:

(1) Do you have a previous or current Canadian visa? ( even at that it doesn't not change anything )
(2) Do you have a previous or current U.S. Immigrant visa? as in do you have a Green Card?
(3) Do you have any EU PR ? ( even at that it doesn't not change anything )
(4) What is your travel history? ( even at that it doesn't not change anything )
(5) How much was your proof of funds (POF)? ( even at that it doesn't not change anything )
(6) Do you have another passport that you used to apply? maybe you a Japanese passport ( 1 week) or you are using a St Kitts passpot
(7) what is your country of residency ?

As I mentioned earlier, I find it hard to believe that someone using a Nigerian passport applied from Nigeria for a study permit along with a spouse’s open work permit on April 5, 2026, and got approved by April 9, 2026....... ( Currently average processing time is 8 weeks and people have waited longer) https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html

IMO the only situation where that timeline seems possible is if you have a Green Card or are a U.S. citizen,Residents of Greenland or Saint-Pierre and Miquelon in which case you could apply at the port of entry. That’s the only scenario where IRCC would respond that quickly as you are in the POE..... but remember I said what do I know about anything

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/apply.html

No wonder school say make I no apply...

You no go give am benefit of doubt ke. 🤣🤣🤣. See format. Guys don't fall for what is happening between this two accounts o. This Gemini AI warrior is a scammer o

AbelAbdul:
And you had to use an AI to write this?

Am happy you too you see the pattern 🤣🤣🤣🤣

amnotapervert:
Yes, but the person has to answer this critical question:

(1) out of over 239 million people in Nigeria in 2026, why are they sponsoring you?

(2) And does that person have a history of sponsoring you? paying your bachelor degree fee you must show proof of that

Those two questions are the hardest part.

That’s why it’s better to use a close family member...father, mother, or sometimes a brother or sister......because everything else becomes difficult to explain around those two points.

I have resorted to seeling the land i want to use for home ties, how again can i demostrate home ties?

It's funny how many of you guys behave. I had written my response myself and not with AI. Even if I had used AI, how's that an issue. I stated a claim, you all refuted it because you said I had put my phone number, then I deleted the entire thing.
Now, you're still singing scammer? Scammer on what exactly? After I deleted the same post? Are you joking ?

Las Las e ma wa alright.

AbelAbdul:

I need to delete everything and wish you all well.

To those who quoted my message before replying. Can you all help modify your responses so that you can delete the post in order not to make folks here fall victim of my scam, please?

Because I had deleted my initial post that contained my whatsapp contact. However, I can still view the post from those that quoted it. Don't you think it's best you modify your responses so that unsuspecting members wouldn't fall victim of my "SCAM"?


T for thanks as you do.

Nairaland threads are meant to preserve information and continuity, but sending people to WhatsApp defeats that purpose because it stops others from commenting or contributing. Since your intention is pure, you can simply share helpful information for both current and future users.

Jidesam01:

Home ties may include voluntary or community activities such as involvement in a church, orphanage, or non-governmental organisation (NGO). They may also include family connection, both immediate and extended, landed properties and other similar assets in the applicant's country of origin. Additional information can include future business plans in your country of origin and long-term career intentions, travel history can also be an added advantage.

In other words, home ties may include:
Voluntary or community activities such as involvement in a church, orphanage, or non-governmental organisation (NGO).

Family connections, both immediate and extended, in the applicant’s country of origin.

Ownership of landed properties and other significant assets in the country of origin.

Future business plans or entrepreneurial intentions in the country of origin.

Long-term career intentions and professional development plans in the country of origin.

Travel history, which may serve as additional supporting evidence of compliance with immigration requirements.

You posted your number because you hardly visit Nairaland YET only today you almost lived on Nairaland.

Ignore the scammer with his funded PhD.

Jidesam01:

You have to explain and show the visa officer that, without reasonable doubt, you have a strong reason to return to Nigeria after completing what you said you are going to Canada to do. now we all know that everyone wants Work permit and PR after school but that should not be your focus on your application as that creates red flags for the IRCC officer

Now, how you present this depends on your situation. In my opinion, owning land alone is not a strong home tie.

even saying you have a family back home in Nigeria is not good enough to home tie except you are married and you have kids then and only then is a reason...and that's good enought home tie...

If you have a family business that is already running, and your parents have indicated that you will take over after your studies and you are already a director in the business that is a stronger home tie than simply owning property or land.

if you have a career and you are looking to expand your field internationally with your SOP saying the experience you will get from schooling in Canada will help your business or job you currently do that's a better Homes ties than Land

So, it is your responsibility to understand your case and use your specific situation to build a strong home tie

Rahab409:
I have no further explanation to make to convince anyone.

Let it be known that I applied for my study permit along with my spouse' OWP on 5th April. 6th April was a public holiday, and I had to do my biometrics on the 7th, while my spouse did hers on the 9th at about 13:22 in lagos. At about 3:55pm on the same 9th, we got our approval email request us to submit our passport.
In fact, as I type this, the passport is now ready to be collected from VFS Lagos.
Mind you, it's a funded PhD program

Gracias

IRCC processing time for PhD study visas is within 14 days ..
This can only concern PhD applicants.
Still doesn't prove if you are real don't get me wrong..

At the portal final decision where IRCC states application was approved they are also requesting for passport in that section is that a new thing?

I need to delete everything and wish you all well.

For the sake of emphasis: I never requested a dime from anyone, both on this platform or anywhere. I dare/challenge anyone who I may have requested money from (either here or anywhere) for whatever reason to come out to say such.
In the absence of none, and I'm sure there can never be, then you lot should close your mouths and move on to another topic.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. In PoTUS' voice.

All family members, including children and foster children, must complete an immigration medical exam. While some applicants may wait for instructions, it is generally recommended for family class applicants to complete these exams upfront to avoid delays.

2011HajjWeber:
The issue with my NIN was that my Dad registered my NIN with is phone number when still a minor. When applied for the PCC on POSSAP Portal, it will brings out my name with my dad phone number. I have carried out update on my phone number on NIN, but still not updated on POSSAP Portal almost 2 weeks.
I have tried going ahead with dad phone number and email, but the verification brings out my Dad name and not my name. Technically, the PCC is like for my dad.

Any solutions from my leaders
