2. How long can one stay with 2/5 years visit/biz Canada visa? is it for the whole visa period or you have to leave after 3 months like the way they operate in the US if you don't want to end up being an illegal immigrant.

likeababygirl:

You cannot convert a visit or business visa to a study visa, you have to apply fresh for a study visa.
You also have to come back home to apply for the study visa.
So best thing for you is to leave getting the visit visa idea (cos you don't have it yet) and focus on getting an admission and applying for your study permit from Nigeria.

Osemigho:
Who's going to or living in calgary? Pls lets connect.

Hello Osemigho, I will like u to guide me through this admission process. I am still going through the various posts on this trend and previous ones but will appreciate your mentorship. God bless you. How can I contact you?

1-)insufficient fund and available resources
2-)Purpose of visit
3-)Travel history

please i want to apply for GCMS note. I want you guys to clarify me, whether I'm to fill the GCMS note form first before applying or I'm i to pay first before filling the form?

I hope to hear from you guys soon

Am so so sorry about this news bro, may God see us all through this race.
1. how much was in ur account? did u pay ur tuition?
2. what is the relationship btw ur proposed program, ur current place of work and ur previous program?
3. that obe isn't much of an issue.
Gurus in the house can explain better on how to order for ur GCMS note . Sorry once again my MUN bro

I really appreciate your swift response, please can it be converted to a work visa also, as per my question 1? You only answered the third question.

Markab:
3. You can't convert visit visa to student visa from inside Canada. You need to leave Canada to apply for study permit

kaizenBash post:
1. Is it possible to convert 2 or 5 years Canada visit/business visa to work visa on getting to Canada without being an illegal immigrant?

2. How long can one stay with 2/5 years visit/biz Canada visa? is it for the whole visa period or you have to leave after 3 months like the way they operate in the US if you don't want to end up being an illegal immigrant.

3. If one has an admission offer and later got a visit visa to Canada can he/she just walk in to the institution and request the visit visa to be converted to a student visa on getting to Canada?

I doubt this is true, there are some people here that applied from other countries, e.g. Maziude, judebebo etc

Oops! Sorry about the outcome of your application. It's a good thing you are ordering for your GCMS note.

If you are using http://gcmsnow.com, you will fill in your card details first, after that, it will take you to the page where you fill relevant details of your application before you order.

All the best bro. And feel welcome to share your profile so somethings can be looked into pending when your GCMS file is out.

fiendishghoul:

It is actually true. You cannot change a visiting or business visa to a study permit from within canada. An applicant will have to apply from outside canada.

The people you mentioned all applied from outside canada and were all students in their respective countries of residence. The contextual issue is applying within canada for a study permit.

Oh okay, I was actually making reference to the bolded statement about returning home before applying for study permit, I believe it's possible to apply from any country provided you have legal status in that country.

Let me check

You will need to leave Canada unless you got your PR while on visit visa

Pls I need gurus here to help me with securing admission to Canada for my younger sister. She read Microbiology in Nigeria and graduated with 3.2 /5.0 ...We want her to go for Environmental Microbiology, age is 24. Would appreciate if I can be aided with how to apply for her a God and reputable school with lower or cheap tuition in a very humane and friendly environment. Thanks!

Ohh okay, buh this states that temporary resident permit holders can apply to extend their stay as a student, can u clarify?

glam4444:

Zoology nd biology z related.
Biology z a broader sense of zoology
Zoology is a branch under biology

and so is botany. Botany is the plant aspect of biology. Botany is 101% Biology

fiendishghoul:

Yes, it is possible to apply from other countries with legal immigration status.

Meanwhile, the image you uploaded did not show the exceptions of those wishing to apply within canada.

Only these category of people can apply within canada:


- Minor children studying at the primary or secondary level

- Exchange or visiting Student(s)

- Student who have completed a short term course or program of study that is a condition for acceptance at a designated learning institution

Other person(s) wishing to study for more than 6 months in canada will have to leave canada and apply from outside canada.

Yeah
But she was specific with zoology

Hello house i got a delay mail from CIC yesterday based on the following. I submitted on 30/May/2017.

1. Pursuant to Section 219 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulation, I am not satisfied that
you:
A. have sufficient and available financial resources, without working in Canada, to pay the tuition fees for the course or program of studies that you intend to pursue.

2. You have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at the end of your stay. In reaching this decision, I considered several factors, including:
A. Purpose of visit
B. Travel history

I paid my school fee for 1 year which was $3000 but i paid $5000.
I submitted a bank statement of 6m from my uncle in 4 different account.
I also proved relationship

She started off with a 5 months Hrm course on her visit visa.
Before she was done applied to nait for a pgd
Got a lawyer

Before study visa was approved they requested for an interview
Was told to write an essay on why that particular course

Nb:
The 5 months course was a prequsite for the pgd

Her application was approved

She has graduated now and has a 3 years post study work permit.

Like I said it's possible.
