harde116,

You're required to have your acceptance letter, tuition fee receipt (If any), the correspondence letter, international passport , Sponsor bank statements ( they hardly request for this) but go with it.

You will be asked questions like :
Is this your first time in Canada?
What is your purpose of visit in Canada?
You came with some money with you? Etc....

After this, the immigration officer will then issue you your study permit on your passport. You will also be directed to a counter where you will get your SIN (SOCIAL INSURANCE NUMBER), which permits you to work 20hours per week during school sessions and full-time during scheduled breaks in the academic calendar predominantly during the summer and winter breaks.

All the best!

I lost my collection slip for picking up my visa, what should I do?

Do you have your tracking number written down somewhere else? If so, just go with it to Vfs (take a copy of the data page of your Intl passport just in case) and explain to them. Do same even if you don't have the tracking number written down somewhere.

I wish there was a different trend/topic created for those that have gotten their visa and those that have traveled to Canada. So that we can easily ask questions there. It will be mush more ideal for this trend to be focused more on those people about to get their visa. Just saying!

I think this is a link for that.

Hey bro,

I presume your Undergraduate program in the UK lasted for 3yr with 180ECTS ?

You said Masters admissions have closed by the time you made up your mind, but have you seen anyone be it from the UK or other EU countries that gained admission in Canada with the 3yr degree certificate ?

Many Canadian Universities required 4yr degree program or its equivalent to be considered for Masters admission. Do you know if the European 3yr degree equivalents to what required by the Canadian Universities?

Regards

Hello bro, it depends on the school, program and city in Uk. My UG was for 4 years.

I don’t know anyone who has a UK degree with 2:1 and has gone for masters in Canada but I am very positive that you will get a masters with a Uk degree.

My transcript came out in May and certificate in July (if I had gotten all this earlier, I would have gone for masters). My initial plan was to do masters in Uk for September. But then it dawned on me, after masters in UK, what next?

I changed plan in July (PGC was my only option as at then). I decided I could use one stone to kill 2 birds. I need to show money in my account for 28days to renew my Uk visa, I can as well use that same statement for Canada since it is 1 week processing time (although it’s been more than 1 week now). The feedback I get from Canada determines if I renew my visa for Uk or not.

My uk visa expires end of August, so I still got time. I strongly believe my Canada visa will be out before then and I can pack my things and run away.

When i get to Canada, I will do masters in May (once I complete my PGC) and I will use my UK degree to apply.

The whole process will cost me extra money (the PGC and then masters) but it is better been in Canada with opportunity to stay back than been told to leave UK after my masters.

I have invested £36,000 just on fees for UG in UK and then i spend another 9k for masters and still be told to leave without opportunity to stay back?

Yes some do, Mostly colleges that give admission quickly or if you applied to schools that require $10,000 CAD deposit and above such as VIU, they are quick as well.As a matter of fact mine took more than five months because of my mix up. I had to contact them before the issue was fixed. So, contact your school
Okay Thanks. Meanwhile let me try an apply to oda schools to broaden my options. Can rely on one school alone
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 14 by Olayemudia: 5:09pm On Jul 25, 2018
by all means do it and send it to them. It will be uploaded to your application and you won't have to wait for them to waste more of your precious time. Your Medical result is valid for one year

A three years degree obtained from the UK is equivalent to Canadian degrees. I have a 2:1 from a British University and i gained admission for MBA to VIU and Thompson Rivers University.

You are not far from the truth boss but let us be careful. The United Kingdom is large.

UK degrees are of different types. There is normal degree (which could be a top up degree without dissertation) and there is honours degree (includes dissertation).

Scottish universities offer you honours degree in 4 years (with dissertation) but you have the option of leaving at year 3 with just a normal degree. Some schools in England offer top up degrees to students with HND from Nigeria, these degrees may not get you masters in Canada because they are not honours.

Once it is a UK honours degree (wether 3 or 4 years) you will get your masters admission with a 2:1 in Canada.

Normal degree = no dissertation
Honours degree = dissertation

Only a UK honours degree is equivalent to Canada’s 4 years degree. My opinion.

I think the question on refund in the case of visa denial should be directed to your school. Some schools have non refund policies. Some schools you can defer etc.

This is very true. The vetting of applicants starts right after biometrics is concluded, even before review of eligibility. Once a file is vetted and passed, it moves to the next stage which is review of eligibility. I think June applicants will start hearing now of their fate. Brace up, the Lord is your strength!!
