Are you talking University or college?

It depends on where you are applying to Universities generally take longer to process applications than colleges

Some colleges may even offer you admission on the same day you apply as they are looking for international student money badly hahahah after going bankrupt last year https://globalnews.ca/news/11839473/conestoga-college-financial-misuse/

For BSC, master or PHD programs universities would take about 4 to 12 weeks to make admission decisions, although some can take 3 to 4 months.... and still Many universities wait until the application deadline has passed before reviewing applications and releasing admission decisions...

Colleges process applications within a few days to two weeks, with some issuing offers on the same day.... like conestoga hahahahah

So, it all depends on the type of institution and program you are applying

AbelAbdul:
I did not sent my official transcript until the schools requested.
Since sending my official transcript cost money, I only sent it to one of the schools that gave me admission.

Many schools gave me admission (conditional offer). To get (unconditional offer) I was to send my official transcript directly from my school to them.
Since my school charges (very high amount) to send transcript to Canada, I only picked one Canadian school and instructed my school to send the transcript. And that is the school I would be going for studies from Sep.

Unless your school is sending the transcript for free, do not send official transcript yet. Wait till they offer you admission and demand for it.

Are you applying for Fall 2026?

AbelAbdul:
I used Wakanow. This is the breakdown.

AbelAbdul:
I'm sorry I do not reply PMs. Whatever question you have, drop here if I have answers I will respond.

I have booked my flight 'Emirates' yesterday.

PS: The person telling you not reach out to me for fear of scam did reach out but he can tell you that I did not respond because I do not reply PMs.

Mavor:
Thanks. Applying for Winter 2027.

Rahab409:
How much was Emirates to Toronto and how many stops?

AbelAbdul:
One layover and it's 44:55mins journey. I guess that is why it is he cheapest.

Rahab409:
What school give admission in 24hrs. It's urgent.

AbelAbdul:
I do not know any school that gives admission in 24hrs. But from my personal experience, I had a school that gave me admission in less that 3 days. I would not say that is their pattern I would say it was my luck. Let me check my email and get the name of the schools that gave me admission within one week. I will get back to you.

PhdCloakRoom:
Abel Abdul @Rehab409 has turned you into clown and see the way you are displaying your ignorance on the subject. Someone asked you a school that gives admission in 24hrs and you were cracking your brain 🙄

Most government accredited institution with the right authority to admit foreign students in Canada will not give you admissions in 24hrs or 1 week. Most schools that does that are the schools founded by Chinese or Indian or Arab billionaires for visa racket to bring their allies to Canada. That is why you keep asking why is my study permit or entry is being denied.

How can a school give an Msc or Bsc admission within 1 week ? You were even given the exact timeframe for traveling when you have not even left Nigeria. Stop confusing people with Ai answers. We need practical experiences.

Rahab409:
Abeg what school gives msc admission in one week or two and perhaps offers MSc in Renewable Energy. It's urgent guys.

Mavor:
Already got 3 letter of admission this week.

AbelAbdul:
These schools gave me admissions within a week. So it's safe to say that they are Chinese own schools. LOL

Algoma University
University of Niagara Falls
Ontario Tech University

and who cares if the are Chinese owned? As long as they are DLI no 1 give a damnn!

Oops! Who did I just respond to? Someone who said Canada issue 'Permanent Study Permit'? I'll pass.

lanresz:
Algoma University and Ontario Tech University are publicly universities. They are not new schools. The only school I won't advice someone to apply to right now is University of Niagara Falls because the history is very limited.

amnotapervert:
Congratulations! Now it's time for you to decide which one works best for you.

Yes, some school won't waste any time issuing an admission offer... The international student cap has really affected some institutions.

In fact, some colleges are struggling financially, and in some cases, the provincial government may have to step in temporarily

That's why I said you could receive an admission offer the same day....sometimes in less than an hour

but please just make sure that the school is DLI and the program and school is eligible for PGWP

Hello everyone. I’ve been following this thread for a while and I must say ‘thank you’ to everyone for their inputs. Hubby’s study visa approval has been delaying and till now no update whatsoever from IRCC. Application was submitted on 9th of April, biometrics was done on 23rd of April. Since then nothing. Start date is 2nd of September. We have sent mails, filled webforms yet no response. Is there any other thing we can do?
Thank you

Mavor:
Thank you. Working on putting together my study visa application docs.

amnotapervert:
best of luck

amnotapervert:
Waiting on IRCC is like waiting for the second coming of Jesus Christ. No one knows when He will come, but we know He will come.

Sometimes it's simply a case of an officer looking at your application and deciding they'll get to it when they have time. Sadly, there's nothing you can do to speed up that process. If they need any additional documents or information, they will contact you.

You've already done what you can by submitting a web form and emailing them. At this point, there's really nothing more you can do except wait.

Hopefully, you'll receive some good news this July so you have enough time to prepare for school starting in the first week of September.

I know you are worried, but at this point, all you can do is pray and wait. There's really nothing more that can be done right now

One thing I always tell people is that IRCC works on its own timeline, and they will definitely teach you patience.

You might see other people getting their visas in just a few weeks and start wondering if something is wrong with your application

In my opinion, Thanks to COVID IRCC has actually improved. Back in 2015, study permit processing could take 4 to 5 months on average crazy yes... I am sure there are still some visa officers who like doing things the old-fashioned way taking their time and making applicants wait forever....

they had some Officers who only used desktop so during covid they didn't work for months claiming them can not go to the office so they had to get them laptops then.. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/transparency/committees/cimm-dec-02-2020/cimm-retooling-ircc-dec-02-2020.html

No, it's not you. It's just IRCC and the way they operate. I once waited 10 months for my permanent residence Card application back in 2020, while other people received theirs in less than three months. I am talking about Card not the application it was during covid but still 10 months to get a card is crazy but thats IRCC There was absolutely nothing wrong with my application it was just IRCC being IRCC....

They publish processing timelines, but not every visa officer finishes applications within those timelines.... its just an average

Don't lose hope. Keep praying, be patient, and wait. IRCC has been doing this for years, and many applications that seem delayed are eventually approved... and I pray that will be your story AMEN .....before July ending or first week of Aug you will hear from IRCC

AbelAbdul:
The cost from LOS (Lagos) to YYZ (Toronto) is N1,516,068. There is only one layover in Dubai. I used wakanow to book that Emirates. If I had booked directly it would have been more cheaper but wakanow was the nearest option as booking it directly failed.

Samadict:
Amen. We hope we get an approval before July ends. We got a mail from school saying we must upload a copy of the approval latest 31st of July or we forfeit our offer and the funds aren’t refundable.
