Did you attach it to your SOP or?

Hello people!

Great job here. I only just stumbled on this thread and I have learnt a whole lot from you all.

Could someone please share their thoughts on this issue:

I applied for student permit (online route) on May 16. Did upfront medicals. Got medicals passed update on June 11. But I read somewhere on the previous parts of this thread that a letter from your bank stating that you would be able to export your funds should be part of the documents uploaded in support of an application for student permit.

I didn't include this when I applied. Should I get the letter and mail it to CIC or should I wait to see if they request for it?

Thank you.

Kishkosh:



No, I attached it among the compulsory documents in the upload section . I think its just immediately after where proof of fund is . I bliv it got there based on the answer I gave in the questionnaire that I have done medical test . I don't know if u understand what I'm talking

aybee4991,

Your profile by now should to be indicating "MEDICAL PASSED". Calm down okay! Try getting in touch with the hospital where you completed your medical test, to be sure if they have sent your medical result to CIC. But, I think they should have done that long ago.

I will like to encourage readers with my abridged testimony. Please never lose hope regarding your dream.

My profile:

In 2013 after working in different Nigerian banks spanning over 10 years, I became frustrated and need a better life for my family. At close to 40 years old, I decided to leave my banking work and pursue Masters degree abroad. Yes, you are right, if you think that I am crazy because so many people thought I was then. However, as I said, I need a better life for my family.

Previously, I had an undergraduate degree in sciences from Nigeria with second class (2:2). In 2013, I applied to 4 universities in Canada and I was rejected in all the universities because of low GPA. A Program Administrator in one of the universities told not to waste my fund applying to universities because of my low GPA but I should focus on my job. I was depressed for a while but I decided to pick myself up and move ahead.

In 2014, I took both GRE and TOEFL and applied to 5 universities in USA. Again, I got rejection letter from all 5 universities. I was depressed but I picked myself up and moved ahead the second time. I applied to another set of 4 universities in USA and to the glory of God, I got accepted into all 4 universities. Fortunately and as God will have it, I got full tuition waiver and stipends in one of the universities. In 2015, my wife and I applied for F2 and F1 visa (US study visas) which was approved together by the grace of God. Please note, this is the same guy with low GPA and 9 rejection letter.

Fast forward to 2017, toward the end of my Masters program, I applied for PhD programs in both USA and Canada. Although, I had a few rejection letters from my PhD applicants but I got admitted into 4 top universities, 2 in USA and 2 in Canada. To crown this testimony, all the universities were funded with very generous stipends which are adequate to take care on my family living expenses.

Today June 15th 2018, both my wife open work permit and my study permit were approved after 3 weeks of application (since we are applying from US).

Lesson to learnt:

1) Never lose hope. Miracles do happens. Always believe.

2) Never let your past define your future. Your past is gone and you don't have control over it again, however, your future is still ahead and you can control it. Therefore, focus on what you can control.

3) Never let anything or anyone stop you from achieving your dream. Obstacles are part of life, nobody, low or bad GPA should not stop you . When you fall, please stand up, dust yourself, reload and move forward. Quitters never win and Winners never lose.

4) Never let age put a limit on your dream. I started my masters degree at the age of 40 years and 16 years after having my BSc degree. Now, I have master degree from a reputable university and should complete my PhD degree in next few years. You can always achieve your dream at any age if you are resilient and persistent.

5) Follow your dream no matter the challenges. Redirect your steps if one is not working and keep pushing forward.

6) Above all, HOLD ON TO GOD AND KEEP BELIEVING IN HIS AMAZING POWER, GRACE AND MERCY. His is a miracle working God and He will always come through for you.

I do hope that I am able to encourage myself with my abridged testimony.

Gurus in the house please advice us o. Can we apply from within Canada for study permit if we can travel there with visiting visa. Has anyone done it successfully?

HiSignature:
From the little info i have.
Yes, you can and such applications i heard are being treated in their Los Angeles office and the refusal rate for such is high because when in such situation, it is always difficult to prove home ties and how of a genuine student you are. You flew into the country to visit in the first place, how easy will it be to convince the VO of your new intention of been a student who will go back to his/her country afterwards. Few immigration consultants i know usually advice against it except you can really prove home ties to your country.

aybee4991:

Thank you. I would get in touch with them. In the meantime, I am consoling myself with the fact that my biometrics is also reading 'We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.' meanwhile I did my biometrics on the same day I applied.

After you submitted your medicals, how long did it take them to update your status to 'MEDICAL PASSED' and was yours a paper application?

This is my profile..Female,30,single,employed,got a study leave letter from my employer,part scholarship from my employer, paid 50% of my fee,used my savings account as statement of account, partially sponsored by self and employer, no ties in canada,travel history is Ghana,medicals upfront,police report.I applied 8th may and collected my passport on 5th june 2018.
I was refused Canada student permit because of the following reasons; I have not satisfied that you would leave Canada at the end stay of your as a temporary resident. I considered several factors, including; travel history, purpose of visit, personal assets and financial status.Please what is the process of requesting for GCIMS?
Gurus in the house please advise your child

A guided one from HiSignature.

Sure, you can apply and change your status from visitor to student while you are in Canada. However, your chances of getting an approval is slim. In as much as one of the major conditions of being approved for a study permit is to show that you have strong ties to your home country and have no plans whatsoever on remaining in Canada after studies. If you are already in Canada on a visiting visa, it will be more difficult to prove ties to your home country. Once refused within Canada, it also lowers your chances of getting an approval when you apply from your home country because you have violated the terms and conditions imposed on your visiting visa by attempting to change your status to a study visa.

You would be better off leaving Canada and applying from outside of Canada (Nigeria). You have a higher chance of approval if you apply from your home country, because it is much more easier to show ties to your home country and a plus to your application, in the sense that you have demonstrated to the visa officer that you were on a visiting visa to Canada but have to return back to your home country to apply for a study permit, which adds more credibility to your study permit application and further evidence that you will abide to the terms and conditions of your study permit when issued to you.

People who apply within Canada, don't apply directly inside Canada at Vegreville, They have to travel all the way from Canada to the US (Los Angeles) to apply for a study permit. Most often, these are students who have completed a short term program like ESL/FSL while on a visiting visa to Canada and then decide to further for a higher studies(a degree).

All the best!

Nope, not true. Anyone who graduates from an eligible post-secondary institution anywhere in Canada is eligible for a Postgraduate Work Permit (PGWP) as long as he did not violate the terms of his study permit. The duration of the PGWP depends on the duration of your studies in Canada.

Good morning guys ... I pray all our prayers for TRV approval be answered . Pls I have a question to ask :

Thank you in advance...

goingforward:



When God says YES no man can say no!. Thanks be to God and a big congratulations.

makano:
When u were applying to ur school for masters, what WAEC result dis u use? Use dt one for ur Student permit, although WAEC isn't a compulsory document for applying for TRV.

Famzyactivity:


But did they acknowledge whether you passed the medical or not?

dubaiboy1:
It wasn't Masters, it was an UG... I applied to Dal 2 weeks ago and I've been accepted. So, I don't necessarily need my WAEC result for my TRV application ?

For undergrad you should submit your WAEC result its one of the basis for your admission.
