What is your aim of posting it? Is it not what everybody wrote on their SOP that they will return?

most people here are not taking loans, savings, selling properties to go study and come back

Please, who has flown Egypt Air recently? Do they allow Ghana Must Go?

Do not sell your property or take out loans to study in Canada. Studying abroad has always been expensive, and nothing is guaranteed. Immigration rules can change at any time... and what you knew coming in can change for you ASAP

When my elder brother was applying for his PR back in 2011 after studying in Canada, you did not need to take the IELTS if you had studied in Canada. However, that rule had already changed on March 10, 2010... that's just an example I can remember him telling me https://www.canada.ca/en/news/archive/2010/03/improvements-proof-language-rules-will-increase-fairness-reduce-delays-says-immigration-minister.html

Always have a plan and a backup plan...and do not sell property

To me oo,if you’ve a solid plan that you believe in and it’s property that comfortably send you to a top A country , sell it . Japa is also an invest which has a very different kind of ROI . This country you’re one trip away from been kidnapped ,that property won’t even save the person .

you don't get it, there's nothing like solid plan abroad these days, just luck and the Grace of the Almighty

I appreciate ur contribution.
My immediate family stays in Canada 60% of my family stays in Canada . I missed that opportunity cos i was above the age of being a dependant when immigrant filing was been done by mum years ago .

I'm just thinking forward and i believe early planning is helpful and better for parents who wish to go that route of their wards schooling abroad.

Now , i hv got the heads up , i will commence the arrangement and see what the future holds for us .

Thank u very much .

It depends on whether you want him to go to a college or a university. He will definitely need his WAEC result to gain admission to either one. However, colleges may be easier, as some universities may not want to admit him because he is only 16 and not 18/19 yet. So college may be your best bet, but you can try both anyway.

At 16, IMO and anyone can bash me for this, but I will speak from my heart I believe he is too young to school abroad on his own, except and solely except you have enough money to sustain him throughout school without him having to work in Canada for even a day, including during the holidays Plus you have a family member here who can keep an eye on him 24/7 for the most part...

if you can not do a surprise visit to your childs place from Nigerian to Canada hmmm

There is a serious drug epidemic among young Nigerians in Canada . I know the media doesn't talk about it because it isn't fancy or something they want to highlight, but it is something worth thinking about.

I believe this lady just spoke my mind. See the link to her video. I agree with what she said in the video and all her proposed solutions, but who am I to tell you what to do?

I am not discouraging you in any way. But if you don't have the serious cash and you don't have someone here who will genuinely look after your child and treat him as their own, please let him do his BSc at a private university in Nigeria. He can then be 21/22 and come to Canada for his master's.

Canada post-2020 has really changed oo but what do I know about anything

Something I have never seen in my 9+ years in this country: yesterday, CBSA agents came to the student protest grounds and gave some of them letters to appear for a hearing. Even I was shocked, hahahaha...

please always confirm your school and program is eligible for PGWP before you apply https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/prepare/designated-learning-institutions-list.html

See as CBSA is doing Identity checks manually on paper only without handheld biometrics scanner..most of them have the same name

Hello anyone that has studied a trade course in canada as an international student, I wanted to ask if after you registered as an apprentice and you got an apprentice role is that recognised as a full-time role so you can use it to apply for federal skills trade or pnp route after getting the required hours. I am applying to electrician program and i wanted to know the route to take.

Gobdddd:
Good evening People of God.
Ii got my study visa approved since February.
Will be in Canada in August for my September 2026 class kickoff.
At this time, I need some guidance.

1) How easy or difficult is it to get a house or apartment (as they call it) in Calgary?
2) My school is SAIT, (Southern Alberta Institute of Technology), which locations are better and convenient for me? I don't need to spend much on transportation.
3) Is it cheaper to get a winter suite her in Nigeria or should I leave it and buy in Canada?
4) I understand I can work just for 24hrs weekly, to what extent, precisely, can the pay here take me? I am self sponsored!
5) I understand I can on have 23kg each for 2 bags, excess of which I'll pay. Should I get more of food or clothes?
6) As someone going for electrical trades technology, how easy or tough can I get a job as a student?
7) Which bank will you advise a new comer to open a d what type of account? (I will deposit my 2nd semester tuition and living expenses in that account)
If I work hard, can I raise my 2nd year tuition? I am paying 23,200 for year 1.
9) Housing, what rental price range is a cool deal if I can find one? I need a personal room and don't mind sharing kitchen or toilet

I will appreciate if those that know the exact answers to this question can assist me.
Thank you.

Hello.
I recently landed in Calgary and would like to make some findings from you about your experience at SAIT. I am seriously considering studying there. Please could you shoot me a pm? I wanted to send you a request but it’s like I ended up sending one to someone who quoted you and the anti spam bot has prevented me from correcting that.

We are waiting for 2 solid books from you;

Don't disappoint please.

Where is that PhD guy that issues Permanent Study Permit to his clients? People like him are the reason I MUST create a thread about my experience when I arrive. I pray to pass the CBSA at the airport.
I hope the guy has not deactivated o.

I will detail every step of this journey with evidence. that reminds me. Let me call that guy that arrested me when I went to Lagos for my medicals and inform him my traveling.

Gents please, my study permit application came back negative because of school fee balance, school resumes august 27th, if i meet up with the fee by 20th, can I reapply?

Sorry about this outcome.

If the school is going to resume in 12 days, I don't see how you can make it. The best thing to do is defer your resumption to the next available intake (Jan or May or Sept 2027).

There are 2 issues I can see from the notes:

1. Did you pay tuition fee and did not attach proof of payment of tuition fee?

The VO officers said you didn't provide evidence of payment of tuition fee.

2. The bank statements you provided were incomplete and not legible.

This is why we advise that you use mybankstatement tickets, it is just a single page for each account which the VO can easily login and access.

When you use regular bank statements, you can make mistakes with scanning and also skip pages.

From the little I can deduce from the notes, this is a case of poor and incomplete documentation which you can easily address when you reapply.

All the best.

Consult a Canadian agent or defer till January or Sept 2027. The Canadians are not playing anymore. Unfortunately the current Indian students protest is going to change things.

From the officer's notes, it seems you only paid tuition deposit. Your account balance does not show enough funds to cover full tuition fees and even living expenses. Correct? If so, you need to go back to the drawing board.

ATTAHDYE:
.

I didn't know you were an agent. Good luck in ur hustle.

Thanks

I used a regular bank statements and I intentionally skip pages because my file was very large.

I'm beginning to regret choosing SAIT. And I have already paid 2 year tuition fees in full. It is well, God has always walked by my side.
