justwise:


That is the point IF the school approves it and you don't take internship without being an active student.


If you face financial challenges after getting your TRV then defer your admission because there is no point traveling to Canada without money just to break the immigration rule

what I am saying is CIC requested for my passport and medicals [b] Yes she applied for a open work permit.[/b]

phunshiano:

What happens to remaining 1%?

tbaib:


Loll im thinking there is a possibility of leaving school for a year.

ManTiger:
Does this indicate a refusal?
7weeks, No medical call up.

Thx.

phunshiano:
This is my cic acct

lol..foreign students hardly enjoy that in between studies

tbaib:


Interesting topic. Justwise is 99 percent right. The only way to go about it is to register less courses and work in between. I do knw a lot of canadian citizens that take a year off and come back to school. Never heard of a foreign student doing that

All are allowed, label them accordingly in a transparent thick nylon and when they ask you declare all.
You might add Ogbono, Red beans

Hello House,
Thank you for all your contributions to this thread.
Please I am in a little dilemma.

I got admission into Lakehead university for this September and that is what I used to process my visa.

While waiting for my visa, I got admission into University of Waterloo for January 2017, which is way better than the initial school I got.

So now my visa is ready but I plan to go in December for Waterloo but my fear is if I can do that since my visa was applied against this September.

Will it be a problem at the point of entry if they see that I have collected my visa since but I am just going.

Or should I just travel now and wait over there till Waterloo resumes. But even if I go now, since I am paying for Waterloo, won't they ask me what is going on at the point of entry since I don't resume till January.

I look forward to any advise that might help.

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

This thread has been very helpful, I have a question and I serious bothered. My wife who is currently studying in canada applied for visiting visa for me online. she also applied for an extension of her study permit. she was approved on friday and my own application updated at the same time for a medical request and passport request. is this normal? I have read that you get a medical request first before getting a passport request what does this mean? Also Our child is canadian.

Will respond. Please be patient.

i was placed on a Ban since last week which i could not partake on the argument of PGD(C).i don't think such argument should be brought to this part 11 anymore and whoever says pgd(c) is not an academic progression,it is a capital LIE.Two of my friends are in canada on a PGC program! PGC study programs are mostly aimed at a targeted work. But the issue i v observed from Nairaland is 69% of pgc(d) applicants are 3rd class degree holders and as i feel,a VO could be afraid of issuing you TRV even if the program relates,cos he doesn't feel your real intention is to study in Canada/you might not cope with the academic challenges and abandon your studies for hustling .mind you Canada wants your brain and not only your money. some even choose low programs level below their Bsc and come here and say it's PGC(D)
secondly, some are already masters holder and they apply for pgd(c) and obliviously declaring the masters degree on their applications,so tell me how a VO would be convinced about your purpose of visit?
Thirdly,as i have seen on some people's post,even with the correlation of program,they got refused,i feel also the VO have not convincingly seen why you need a pgc(d) at that particular point in ur career,e.g the prospects of the intended program, will the pgd(c) elevate ur profile from a level 9 staff to manager? will it also increase ur salary from 10k to 90k? e.t.c,these are sentiments to consider. if you have a good paying job and have worked for many years...,masters/phd/mba is the alternative route if your intention is to Study
fourthly,having done your best even at choosing the program that relates and convincing the VO,a VO might still not want to give you the TRV and refuse you on silly excuses.so if you can get a masters admission,the safer..
i disassociate myself from PGC(D) arguments because some i didnt say all applicants here are complex students and they would not reveal the underlying facts of their profiles which could be exclusively behind their refusals which now result to unwarranted arguments occupying spaces/pages here on Nairaland. Till i get my own reply from Accra..i take my self back to a low key mode.

Hi guys,its been a while and a big shout out to all the mighty men of valor who have kept this space educative and helpful. May those good dreams of ours come true.
I have not been here for some months now due to academic and general work life in Canada. I decided to come and learn from here as usual so I stumbled on this argument/debate on PGD(C) and I feel my input may help someone.
I will not bring you guys back since the argument on this is closed but will quickly speak from my experience as someone who is already in the system.
First,some information that fly around sometimes are far from being true. I am wondering how someone would generalize that PGD(C) is often pursued by those who had a 3rd class. This should not be passed around. Personally,I applied for Masters program at UOttawa (MEM) but due to the fact that I had a second class lower,it was pretty difficult getting the admission because,the standard for admission remains high and it would only favour those with upper and sometimes strong upper. Having said that, there are many ways to kill a bird and you may choose to go for the best one.
Without mincing words,PGD(C) in Canada is not a cheap program as you may think...if you doubt me,find out about some programmes like Infrastructure System Management (ISM) ,Network and Security Architecture et al. Find out how many second class upper from across the globe Nigerians inclusive could manage to complete the program.Some of them leaves the program at the end of a semester or mid-way into the semester because its highly demanding. I am indirectly telling you that,some second class upper student are in the college running different courses that are industry based.
In my few months of stay,I have met people from across the globe with such a great knowledge and skills,I have met people in a very big automobile industry where I work as a Quality Inspector even as a part time student. Take this from me,companies here celebrate your skills and certifications and not "degrees". In as much as I celebrate my friends in the academics (PhD bound people),if you approach some of MSc candidates here,they will tell you that, if they had any plan to go and work in the industry,they will prefer to come to college for diploma or any industry based teaching program because,you are coming to learn what you will use in the industry. Industries come to college to request the different kind of skill sets they want and based on that, some programmes are designed.
I want whoever is considering PGD(C) as a means of entry not to be discouraged,it is a channel to come in and from there you can go to any University you want provided you have B as the average grade for all your courses. I have completed the first semester of my program,my grades are really great and with that I can conveniently apply to any university against Winter 2017 that is if I don't get a job before then.

Please I want those who are thinking of entering through PGD(C) to pursue it and if you can get masters admission good luck. The end will always justify the means. All that matter is having a skill set that is needed in the industry and get a job in a class A,O or B as specified in the NOC list.

Another matter of concern to me,I have been part of the international volunteers welcoming new students into school for Fall and from what I saw,it shows a decline in the number of students from Nigeria. I am not happy with this because I was expecting our people to come in and continue to populate Canada. I pray God turn around the table in our favour and restore us to the place of many TRV approvals!
