[quote author=Bracha post=77343534]Hello

I just checked and CIMT doesn't offer courses eligible for post graduate work permit. I'll advise you to NOT apply to the school.
Ok. Thanks so much I will do as you have rightly adviced.

[quote author=Christty post=77336981][/quote]

You shouldn't apply to a college/institution that wont refund your tuition if your visa got declined. There are other Prestigious collegew you can check. Make sure they are DLI Institutes because that's very important for post study work permit. Always familiarise yourself with refund policies of this schools so it doesn't come back to hurt you.

Gurus in the house,

Firstly I want to appreciate your effort for the support you have been rendering to folks here....much appreciated.

Please I need help on behalf of a friend. The previous passport he had has a mistake in his date of birth which he did not bother to correct at the time. He also used the passport to travel to Russia and came back. Now in applying for admission to Canada, his transcript carried his real date of birth so he had to correct the date of birth and one of his three names in a new passport at Abuja for 180k .
The challenge now is in applying for study permit, he is expected to also attached the old passport which will show a different date of birth as well as having one of his name different. Also because he has applied for US visa with the old passport, it might be misrepresentation to say he has not traveled before to avoid attaching the old passport knowing fully well Canada and US share info.

what do you suggest he do as a way of solution to this problem? thanks in advance.

Hello,

I think Qudkom made sane points, and besides there's no need overemphasizing all through again as Frankrobbn1(hit his signature to view past posts) also made similar sane points regarding this questions.

Just a chip: An affidavit, a letter from the Immigration unit, and LOE(the letter should base on sympathetic human flaws from both the PP issuer(immigration) and self for failing to peruse the details upon collection due to euphoria/excitement) would tackle this issue. Besides your friend should declare the US refusal

Applied online on 8th March
Biometrics: 15th March
I just received an email from CIC that there is update on my account......but when I logged in the application status has not changed,what could this be?

Don't be panicked, such irregularities has become normal. Its just a delayed update on your online gckey account after the email notification. The update would reflect soon, as all you need to do now is prayer intensification for it to be positive.

keep your fingers crossed!

Goodmorning all,I just got medical request...please I applied tru paper route,can I go with a photocopy of my passport since I dont have it with me?thanks

Hello umulobi i just replied your PM now

Licious9z:
Hello Sir/Ma’am
I have an issue similar to this, my name and name i’ve Been using in all my certificates is Ayodele Dolapo Anderson but my mom remarried and added my stepdad name to my passport as my surname and my dads name as the other name which is now Owolabi Dolapo Anderson Ayodele I applied for the USA visa last year with my stepdads name as the surname but wasn’t given now I changed the name on my passport back to the name on all my certificates and I want to apply for a Canadian study visa I don’t know what that might do to my application and I don’t know what to do.
Ps... i applied for a family US visa, my mom already had a visa and my two younger sisters were given I was the only one not giving
Ps.... my mom is my sponsor and she still has owolabi on her passport and on her SOA she has Ayodele and owolabi and she already Sworn affidavits that she bare all those names.

Swift response is highly appreciated
Thanks

Hello,

tbh, my advise as what I would do: For immigration purpose/sake, I won't change back to the old name given that the record is there with the US/Russia and to avoid further future complications. This step would simply ease the situation:

1. A sworn affidavit(attached to it your birth certificate to connect your mother's previous maiden name to the new name, likewise to create further clearer understanding to the names reflecting on your academic certificates)

2. A newspaper change of name

3. A letter of explanation(should be very convincing to why such action of changing your previous surname to that of your stepfather - think outside the box)

4. if your sisters also took same action, include any evidence tangible to the understanding - hint on it in your LOE as physical evidence in addition to the stated reasons.

chibertha:
He must have sworn an affidavit which he used in changing these details at Abuja and also made a news paper publication information the general public. If he has these two things then he should attach them to him application and write LOE to that effect.

This is also a valid suggestion/hint.

Any idea what rates u were charged. As it is lowest rate , forget stress. Lol

Austacus:


If you’re paying through flywire, they would follow your bank rate. They not gonna ask you for extra or tell you that they have there owned rate. Your bank would only stand as a third party to send the money to flywire in international currency then flywire would deliver the money to your school in two working days or more. your bank would buy dollar from CBN it could be US or CAD depending on the one that’s available at that time. (cause dollar dey finish for CBN wella)
so don’t follow google rate or currency converter board rate in the bank ( banks don't update it). All banks have their own rate.
ask the international fund transfer or customer care in your bank the current rate.

Your bank will charge you (my bank charged me of 15k for all the process) the process no be small thing cause CBN will request for your intl passport, degree result, letter of admission (NYSC is not compulsory) from you before they would release dollar to you.
So the whole process could take 3 hrs plus

I am using flywire as an example cause that's the only option my school gave me. (I don't know if some schools in Canada do receive the money directly from local bank)

If you have any trusted person in Canada
You won't undergo the stress of paying your tuition fee in Nigeria, if you have any trusted person that has a dom account in Nigeria, you ain't stressing yourself with Nigeria bank and CBN. But to me, it's not stress.


Good luck

Not bad rates but I guess its lower now. Thank you

Oluwaseunbd:
I paid using form A in d bank and as at the time,the rate was abt 278 cad to naira...tho it took abt 2 weeks for the sch to get the payment but it was very convenient

Dear Sir/Ma,

Your application looks good.

The bolded words above are what you will work on.
But to be very sure of the next thing to do, you need to request for your file.

Your course is not what we see here regularly and I believe you need your file.

Although, I saw someone with a similar course like your who was refused last week or so.

Maybe there is more to what the VO is looking for.

In conclusion, when else you submit you next application, don’t forget to add the VO in your prayers because they are humans too who can make mistakes.

Order for your file ASAP.

Mine was since last year April so the rate doesn’t matter anymore.


Just go to your bank and ask them the current rate.
