Raymondrain:
Good morning house...My profile is that I have a bachelor in hospitality management and am going for 2 years diploma in hotel and restaurant management in Canada. I have approximately 2 years experience in hotel industry.... What are my chances of acquiring canadian study permit? Is a good SOP enough to tackle the difficulties highlighted above? Please any suggestions is welcome!!!

Thank you

No one can guarantee visa approval. It is not sure for anyone even if the person has all documents complete.

The major things to know before applying are;

(1) Make sure there is career progression if applying for PG

(2) Make sure the program you are applying for is similar to the one you did in UG or a program you have working xperince in.

(3) If you have a 2:1, it is always advisable to go for masters.

(4) Write a very good LOE on why you have chosen the course, why you want to go and study the course in Canada, its benefit to you and your country or family. Then give strong reasons why you will come back to Nigeria after studying.

For everything you say in the LOE, make sure you show proofs.

[/b] I think the most important document is your LOE (my opinion) and statement of account[b]

(5) It is always preferable to use immediate or extended family as sponsor. If sponsor is not family member, try and persuade him/her to make part payment of fees to show commitment.

(5) submit other documents

(6) Pray

Please I really need help accommodation I am in Kamloops have been paying heavily in a hotel please a helper

(1) Go to this thread https://www.nairaland.com/3617393/living-canada-life-canadian-immigrant/470“ and post exactly where your city, hotel and province and you might be lucky someone will help out.

(2) Are you a Christian? Look for any church around you, get the contact of the pastor of any of the churches and explain your situation. Trust me, you will get free accommodation for at least a week. If you are lucky, you will get for even months.

P.s I contacted redeeem pastor here in London Ontario via LinkedIn and Facebook messenger and I am currently staying in a free accommodation. The host told me to stay for 1 week till I get my own accomodation. Should I add I am
also getting free better Naija food? My host have been too kind. Infact, they want to kill me with food.

All the help I have gotten within my stay here has been from 2 wonderful nairalanders and the church.

I will be moving to my own apartment Tuesday 18th and it is a Nairalander that will be helping me move my loads to the house. Infact 90% of my movement has been free and it has been a nairalander that has been taking me shopping and seeing the city.

(3) Also try Airbnb. You will get very cheap options there as well.

(4) Also, don’t be in a haste to just take any house you see because you will be signing a lease (which means you will not be able to move out of the house for the duration of the lease signed or you forfeit your money)

Reason why it is better to contact the church to give you free accomodation for at least a week to allow you check so many houses available on Kijiji and then make a choice.

All the best.

Same here o. Submitted mine on the 7th and not heard from them. Has counterfoil details showed on your portal? I think I'll get to vfs today.

Sorry this response is coming late.
Visa is not guaranteed for anyone. Some people have gotten visas for PGC (1 year program) on this forum. However, I would suggest if you cannot get admission for masters degree of at least 18 months, please go for a 2 year PGD so you can easily get a 3 year work permit once you are done.

I am currently on a 1 year study permit that ends September 1, 2019. The challenge is I need to renew my study permit next year before this current one ends by either going for another 1 year PGC (what most Indians and Nigerians do here based on my findings) or do at least another 1 year masters so that I can qualify for the 3 year work permit. I heard work permit is given only once.

Imagine if I was using a third party sponsor? I would have to start begging the sponsor to please send me money for fees next year to renew study permit. It is better you get that 2 years visa once and for all from Nigeria so you don’t have anything to worry about again when you get here.

PLEASE renewing study permit overthere does it take the same process like here in Naija or is it easier cos all the PGC programes in my field re 1yr can't find a 2year programe and i can't go for masters due to my cgpa
