Thank you for this. I will be 31 by dec. I genuinely want to go for a Bsc just to correct my first degree. Just that it is possible i do a change of program after everything(i mean when i land canada).
Guess my chances are slim because of my age but will shoot my shot
1) So is it possible i include it in my statement of purpose?

2)Do i need a letter of English Proficiency?

Go for a program higher than a Bsc. If you don't show progression with the difficulty level in getting a visa for Nigerian applicant you'll most likely be refused for not proving you're a bonafide student and purpose of visit. That's my simple advice for you. You have a lot of experience, and if you can prove it you can always go for pre masters.

Ibitowaoa:
If I book an appointment for biometrics what is the time interval am most likely be schedule for one. Within how many days pls because I will be coming from Osogbo to Lagos to come have it done and would love to have it done on time. Or should I just take the risk and go hoping that they will answer me ?

You don't need to book an appointment, in Nigeria it's a waste of time. Just gey there very early. I booked an appointment also and realised it didn't count. Either ways I used about 25mins there. Goodluck.

Good evening guys,
I just got admitted into University of Waterloo and I want to apply for my visa. Please can someone assist me on what necessary steps to take

Congratulations on your approval. You're in the right platform to get all the information you seek and like I always tell people, you can use similar documents but always remember everyone as a unique case. You can start by following this tips;

1. Get a sponsor with a decent financial portfolio. Parents are the best option to sponsor. And if you're making use of a 3rd party sponsor then make sure you prove the relationship that exists.

2. Show a proper time line of your study gaps and supporting documents to prove it.

3. Employment documents and future job/business prospects is a must to prove your chances of returning.

4. Police character certificate to show you haven't been convicted for any crimes.

These are simple tips and if you take your time to go through the forum you'll get more. Good luck.

I checked online and it says only Canadian citizens or those living in Canada can request for GCMS notes. Please is there another way to go about this?

Thanks alot

You can used third party to request your gcms note. It will cost you 20 Canadian dollars

Hi,
Congratulations on your admission, I also have an admission to BU and whoever told you to apply in Canada is lying to you. You cannot apply for a student visa in Canada while on a visit visa. You can only apply from here (Nigeria). So, dust yourself, go to the [url=cic.gc.ca]IRCC website[/url] or the first page of this thread and get the information you need for applying, and apply for your visa ASAP, because application processing time is increasing.

Good luck.

Hi
Please,I have been given admission at Brandon university for my masters program.I was told that apply ing for students visa at nigerian will take time that I should go and apply at Canada.so I want to apply for visiting visa in Nigeria.when I get to Canada I will apply which is better house please.

O boy book your appointment and go for the biometrics. When you get there, show them the confirmation of booking. The more time you waste, the longer it'd take for your application to be processed.

Ibitowaoa:
How long does it take to get an appointment for the biometrics after booking online?

Congratulations in advance!

Tlontin:
I just got a Correspondence biometric information

No need to defer your admission Tibex2, apply for that visa right now. You can still get it before September when school resumes. Brandon University resumes in September.

OptimusPrime21:


You have classes starting in August and because study visa takes 3months, u want to apply for visiting. Do u want to just visit the school and come back... mind you, canada visa processing timelines these days are not to be trusted either study or visit and can't tell if u will be denied or not for either of the two... I advise you defer that admission and focus on securing a study permit visa

Pls all the gurus in the house, help me with this question.
I am working with my HND accounting. Masters is a must in my field for promotion and other incentives. I've been brousing and realise that no matter how high my cgpa is, I can't be admitted into Canadian uni for masters in accounting.
I have two options: 1yr PGD or 2yrs PGD. Now choosing Iyr PGD, so I can come back and use it to enrole into masters in Nigeria. Or 2yrs PGD, which is more convincing cos my aim is to obtain masters?

Can I progress to masters in Canada after completing a PGD program with HND cert?

Yes you can state it in your SOP.
I have answered your second question and it is NO.

Ancy12:

Can I get a one bedroom apartment in Newfoundland at 500cad.

Yes, you will.
You will even get an apartment if you add some little money.
That's why life is simple and inexpensive in such province or territory.

But don't try this in Ottawa, Toronto and BC cause it's crazy out here

Forget whatever you see at Kijiji cause when you see them face to face the story the price would change.

Ottawa and Toronto landlords don't joke with first and last payment bullshit and at least 4 months least.

This country is crazy, they tax you for any f****in sh*t

20hrs is Being unfair for student to work. It's unfair cause you gon pay tax for everything even if you buy toothpick or biro. HOLYSHIT!
if you drink water, buying stuff in the mall, taxi... every daily activities here is a tax.

Someone (student) got deported cause he worked more than 20hrs in a week. (crazy) even if you're lucky and didn't get deported, you will meet them in PGWP, PR or Citizenship. (Maad)

PS: do you know the reasons they ask you for your assets is because they want to collect taxes from you?
If you have assets in your home country and its fetching you money. You will meet them when you come here

If you're buying new clothes for your travel please endeavour to remove the stickers cause they will tax you for all of it if they find out

Canada is very very fine and sweet wella... Too many beautiful ladies out here but don't be carried away with it and play your card pretty well.

Hello please oo, I'm having problem completing my application.
I didn't get the application and the uci. Am I to validate after form is completed?

Hello everyone! Happy may 29th.
I just received my GCMS note pertaining to my first application. The reasons for refusal as stated in the IRCC correspondence letter is Purpose of visit, Family ties in Canada and country of residence, Personal assets and financial status. Meanwhile, in the GCMS letter, it was stated I'm accompanying a minor to school, which is not true. Please Ogass FrankRobben, Qudkom, Mellow, Austacus, and all, willing to help a brother on his second attempt, your input would be highly appreciated. Thanks

NB: In my first application, I used the service of an agent who wasn't concerned about the outcome of my application, rather for selfish interest. I didn't submit a mission statement, and the receipt of the tuition I made, was also omitted.

I’m so sorry about the delay you’re experiencing...

Maybe this has to do with the office that treated our applications. Was yours treated in the London office?

OptimusPrime21:


Not one bit dear, still saying no records. My contact inside vfs says it's still processing meanwhile it's been 11working days now... plan on mailing cic today or 2moro... this delay is delaying my preparations and flight plans...

I honestly have no clue.
When did you submit your passport and what office is treating your application?

Kishkosh:


I'm having same issue . I can't track my PPT, I sent a mail to vsf and got a response that " Please be informed that your application is still in the embassy for processing."

@sillysassysally, any idea what's going on ?

Tibex2:
Thanks very much.I was told dat it takes 3months to get d visa in Nigeria why in Canada it just 1month.and by August the class will start.dat is why I want to apply for visiting which will just take 1month.

The chances of you getting a positive decision is much better applying in Nigeria than in Canada.

Good luck!

sillysassysally:

Submitted on Monday . It was an online application ..... I'm thinking maybe there's something I'm not doing right in when inputting the tracking ID no

Hi

Please when filling the form online do I need to fill the student permit questionnaire and the student and worker Visa questionnaire or just the 3 cic forms.please I need an urgent response.
Thanks

Good morning E-family
I noticed something of recent which could help my chance in Canada
I have an admission to study for a PGC in environmental management and assessment which is 17900 CAD at niagara college resumption is January 6 2020 but decided not to apply for visa yet due to this but upon continuous research I noticed a school that offers environmental technician a PGD for 2 years with CO-OP option at st Lawrence college for 15k resumption is September 9
I already signed to Niagara that I'll study at their school because looking at my situation, I'll have to apply to another 1year PGC to make it 2years
Please what do I do ,time is running out
I want to start my visa application too
Please help me out

Despite age in some circumstances can be a hindrance, but its totally not in most cases. Also, going for a second degree might pose to be a redflag in certain ways but not in all ways.

My advise:

1. Do a thorough research on your previous and prospect studies, draw out loopholes and vital points that could make a convincing case of your intended switch and a second degree.

2. Write a very good SOP, showing a career progression and self development with your prospect second degree.

3. Show relevant evidence whether voluntary, paid, or freelancing done that relates to your prospect course.

4. Do more research

BTW you don't need proficiency letter or test score to apply for a study permit.

Good luck!

Its not possible for you to know your application number and UCI number on your first application. If this is a reapplication, fill in the UCI number in your previous application. After everything, you're to validate

How sure are you that the agent didn't do something contrary to the information provided by you. On the other hand, i have seen a gcms notes were the VO was lousy and paid less attention to the applicants refusal concerns in the notes. This is an error on the side of the VO. I think little or nothing can be done especially id the notes contains other sensitive information about you.

BTW do well to screen shot the appropriate page were the VO addressed the main concerns, you can check the last 2-3 pages.

Some schools do not condone this, but there is always a way out of every given situation like an unforeseen circumstances.

You can contact the school and lay your intention of withdrawal simply because of certain financial constraints recently faced by your sponsor which has made you consider withdrawing your admission in order to avoid financial restrain and academic distraction etc.

Use words/reasons that would/might make them feel empathy

Good luck!

I don’t get why should I thank God for my course?

Please my course involve that I should apply with a full time work permit along with the study permit. How can I convince the Visa Officer that full-time work permit along with my study permit which I am about to apply for is not an avenue to secure a good job in Canada. Please the guru in the house I need your contribution.

Huh... almost everybody here is applying with a work permit.... who isn't going there to secure a job... if u start trying to explain that, the vo will see you have a motive or you even tot about it.. leave that one... all u need to worry about is showing the vo you are genuinely going for studies and coming back, get your financials intact and tight...
