I know you just got your admission, but if you know French, you have a good opportunity. You could potentially get your PR before the end of the year. Today's French draw had one of the lowest CRS cut-offs I've seen in a while. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/mandate/policies-operational-instructions-agreements/ministerial-instructions/express-entry-rounds.html

Please take the French test + english also and create an Express Entry profile. You never know you might receive an invitation before the end of the year and it will save you alot of money in the long run............... switching you from international student fee to domestic

Luther97:

StanOyiga72:
Hello good folks! Just want to make an inquiry. I submitted my application with only a letter of employment used to prove job status. Is there cause to worry?

AbelAbdul:
When I was applying to schools in Canada, I uploaded my WAEC as English proficiency certificate. One of the schools waved the English proficiency test for Nigerians. One of the schools rejected the WAEC and requested for IELTS.

To your question, yes, I wrote it though I used WAEC for most of my applications including visa application. It was only one of the schools that rejected the WAEC.

AbelAbdul:
My course is a Tech course. Nursing is a very good course and I recommend it.

Is he going to use WAEC as English Test Cert? What is the purpose of the WAEC?

If he is going as self-sponsored, every money should be in his account and every payment made through his acct. If he is going as parents sponsored then you can pay for him from your account as long as you can establish that he is your son.

Mavor:
If your son is young going for an undergrad course, then you can sponsor him as a parent as long as you include proof that you are his biological parent, parental letter of support for the Canadian studies and include your bank statements showing proof of funds and a detailed evidence letter for source of fund. The Canadians dont expect a young person going for an undergrad course, fresh out of high school/secondary school to have earned such an amount for self-sponsorship. Alternatively, you can put a Nigerian account in his name and get a notarized gift deed from you the parent to be attached to his student visa application including proof like birth certificate showing you are his parent and a parental letter of support for the Canadian studies. However, the logical way is for you to sponsor as his parent.

Your case seems different, have you raised a webform to at least hear back from them?

slimmsyyetty:
I understand your concern because of the school resumption date that is fast approaching.
You can raise a webform or call them, but it doesn't still guarantee this will speed up your decision. Some April applicants are just getting their decisions while some are yet to.
Keep being hopeful for a positive outcome while you wait.
I wish you success

Really April are getting ? That good omen

apexrankis:
Is your “primary office” RROC?

Luther97:
Yes I did raise a webform and gsmc note and I got a reply yesterday

ScholarshipGuid:
@Marike2, congratulations on taking this step. Mature student profiles with a 15-year study gap are highly scrutinized by IRCC visa officers, but they are fully winnable if your narrative is tailored correctly.

To answer your questions directly:
1. Jan 2024 admissions are heavily congested now, so you should immediately switch your focus to the next available intake to ensure a safe visa timeline.
2. A 15-year study gap is not a disqualifier, but you cannot explain it merely as "work years." Your Statement of Purpose (SOP) must demonstrate how your hands-on business operations created a direct knowledge deficit that only this specific Canadian PGC can fix.
3. IELTS is widely waived for secondary/tertiary education completed in Nigeria, but using the Nigeria Student Express (NSE) stream requires an IELTS score of 6 in each band for a 20-day fast-track processing. For regular streams, a clean waiver letter is sufficient.
4. Do not go for a generic business diploma. As a business owner, a Postgraduate Certificate in International Business Management, Strategic Leadership, or Project Management will align perfectly with your executive profile.

Your application story must be completely watertight to avoid a "purpose of visit" refusal.

I have sent a comprehensive documentation checklist and narrative outline to your Nairaland PM inbox so we can look at your specific profile privately. Check your inbox right now.
