Did you do upfront medical the last time? I dont have the 2- paged printout as I was called for medicals which I passed. how do i go about using that medicals for this new application?


Oboerhiri:


There's a 2-paged printout given at the medical Examination Centre containing your picture and biodata, scan those pages, then type in the form's code at the top. That code is what is used by CIC to confirm from the Medical Examination Centre.

PLS HOW CAN I PAY WITH WESTERN UNION
ABII HOW I WAN DO AM
ADVICE PLS
NB; I HAVE 20K IN THE UBA ACC WITH A MASTERCARD ATM

Hello,

what was the error message?
Bank charges for online transaction (CAD) is above 200 now. if you are paying 100cad, you need to have more than 20k. then try again. But paying 75 cad, it should be enough. Rate has not dropped. was mere panic and speculations that happened in parallel market yesterday. All the best

I say it was tough because it requires a lot of hard work not compared tto what we are used to in Nigeria. If you wanna transition into a permanent resident in this country, youve gotta follow certain rules like keeping a job for a certain period, which is usually 1 year to be eligible to apply under the Canadian Experience Class CEC (you can read up on CEC online). many jobs; especially oil field jobs (white or blue collar) require you to put in lots of overtime. I had to work 12 hours a day for six days a week not stop for a period of 5months. It is really stressfull plus youve gotta brace up for the weather if you are required to work outside, which is really really cold (as cold as -30 to -40 degrees) up north Alberta.

Now i studied for 3 semesters in total out of which my folks payed for two semesters. i remember i took a summer semester off to go hustle in Alberta for 4 months in 2013 summer and I literally worked for 12 hours everyday from monday to saturday, as a landscape labourer. It was a really tough job for tough men only. but I made my tuition fees within that period ($8,000) while i was paying rent and other bills and I still had enough money saved that lasted me thru my final semester back in Ontario. I must have made $14,000 during that 4 month summer break but i spent it all on my tuition fees, flight tickets, bills bills bills.

Good news was that in this part of the world, there are lots of job opportunities that pay well, but only wise people can manage their finances because everything around is expensive too. There was no way i could have had a legit job in naija, without connections, without being the son of a politician or a crook and make take home after taxes $14,000 in four months

Inspiring experience. Please I have a four years visiting visa to Canada, but I just do not want to visit and return to naija. Though I know I can only stay up to a maximum of six months per trip in canada on a visiting visa.

So, I am cooking up a plan and need some advise and input about its feasibility from you and other guru in the house.

Here is the plan, I want to travel to Canada on my visiting visa and then apply within Canada to convert to study permit (I already have Canadian admission on post graduate diploma - project management). The duration of the project management course is one year, after which I can apply for a post study work permit.

My reason for wanting to apply for a study permit from within Canada is to reduce the finance I need to show for my upkeep as I am sponsoring myself and to hustle a little during the six months visit to raise more finance to support what I already have to show as evidence of financial capability when applying for the study permit visa from within Canada.


Thanks.

U can't change a visitor visa to study permit within canada
Does that can apply for study permit within canada are either already carrying a study permit made outside of canada or a foreign work permit holder whose application was previously made outside of canada.
Beware people visa to permit impossible
Permit to permit possible

For undergraduates, the trend we have observed on this thread is that VOs prefer to see an account balance of at least N9m-N10m. But there are exceptions: @AverageNed in Part 9 got his TRV for undergraduate studies even though his father's account balance was about N3.25m or so, but his approval is unusual given that the statement balance was even less than his program's annual expenses.

Forget it. You would have to send your application to a CIC office outside Canada (likely the office in Los Angeles), and the application will NOT be less tedious than it would be if you did it in Lagos. The CIC office in L.A. receives many applications from temporary visitors in Canada trying to convert their visiting visa to student, and VOs as you might suspect are generally not positively disposed to it.

You will need to have an extraordinarily compelling reason in order to convert your visiting visa to a student visa (especially since you are visiting from a country with lots of people who violate their visa conditions). FYI: The VO will compare the "purpose of visit" details from your visiting visa application to the details of your new student visa application; as a result, it is highly likely that the original "purpose of visit" of your initial visiting visa application will be seen as deceitful.

I know of someone who tried what you are suggesting. The Los Angeles CIC office denied her three straight times. Her gcms notes showed that the VO looked at the details of her visiting visa application (made at the Lagos/Accra office) and concluded that she was deliberately deceitful given that a few months after she got into Canada she decided to try to switch to student status. The intent of her visiting visa application was to "visit" NOT to study.

Also, keep in mind that once you are denied for trying to switch your visit visa to a student visa, your chances of getting the student visa again reduces drastically as you will now be suspected of being an applicant who does not respect the terms of his/her visit visa.

My advice for you is that you should just visit Canada, then come back to Naija to do it. Getting a student visa would be easier once you've shown that you visited Canada before and came back on your own free will.
