Hello Frank,

I was denied TRV earlier this year based on current employment history and travel history.

For employment history that I filled, I have Nysc and a flexible 3years WE but in my next application I'd like to add my online business and social media management job that I've had since 2017 (I won't call it part time cos I spend a lot of hours online daily, even on weekends).

Will this be viewed as misrepresentation as I didn't include it in my last application?

Thanks you. Thumbs up for the great job you do here

Good day people please i need urgent answers, a friend of mine just got admitted to a Canadian university and is about to submit her visa application, but her dad has overstayed in the US, does this in any way affect her Canadian study visa application. Thanks

Hello Cdaniel,

Your passport pick up notification will either be communicated to you by email or text message. Given the delay after a final decision has been made, try contacting the VFS office you submitted via phone (google the number).

You will be properly guided with the received information on how to duly contact IRCC in regards to your passport return.

All the best.

Greetings house!

First off, I'd like to thank everyone that has contributed to this trend. Your positive advices, remarkable suggestions and all. May God almighty answer your secret prayers.

I graduated with a 3.01 GPA in civil engineering. 2018. According to the reviews I've been following here considering a masters degree will an be unrealistic move but I'm rather opting for PGD or GD in an affordable colleges or universities particularly in the following area with a 2 years degree.

Project management
Building construction
Construction project management
Or interior design.

And also I need your advice too. Do you think the job prospects in this field of study has a promising future if one eventually get job there.

My main aim is to get graduate, get a good job and settle permanently.��
Thank you.

For a 2yr program, the required funds to be shown is for 1yr that is sufficient to cover a semester/year tuition fees and LE. Then demonstrate how the tuition fees and LE of the subsequent year would be met.

The process of showing funds is same whether a 1 or 2yr program. The most important thing is having extra in the account after the funds for tuition fees and LE has been shown.

Its advisable to apply for the admision on time even before the 3 - 4 months. At least, the SP extension app should have been filed within this period.

All the best

Hello Oganammuo,

All IMM forms can be found on cic.gc.ca. However, use the link below to assess the IMM Form page directly. Only download what is applicable to you. Also, ensure your system has Adobe Reader 11 or Acrobat to be able to download, save, and fill the forms before print out.

https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/student.asp?countrySelect=NG#applications

Unlike online, paper route permits you to do your biometrics on same day prior after submitting. Since you travelling from afar, just sacrifice 2 - 3 days though Abuja VFS doesn't witness same rush as Lagos VFS. But at most, sacrifice 2 days for it.

As it stands, you might not be required to do another biometrics since you've done one in 2017. Though the 10yrs biometrics validity began in July 31, 2018, some re-application applicants during same year as you didn't undergo a fresh biometrics while some did. Based on my recent observation, you're likely not to undergo one again. However, please us updated.

To your last question, the special thing is to make prayer the cover page of your application.

Good luck!

Long post alert

I hate when I log into this forum and see excessive refusals. The truth is your refusal isn't because;
1. You truly have a vague SOP
2. Your academic program doesn't show a true purpose of visit.
3. Weak family ties or any of those vague reasons they give.

Since I got here I have analysed so many trends with international students from other countries most especially India and China. And here is my conclusion;

1. Most of this international students can't even speak good English hence, how did they scale through the SOP part that they mostly tell us we've written something "poor or vague"

P.S: Nationality withheld in a group presentation one international student wrote a report and I wanted to faint. A JSS3 Nigerian student can't write like that!

2. Most of them don't even get study permits for relevant courses that correlate with any work experience or whatsoever that we otherwise get refused for under the contempt of "purpose of visit" or "limited employment opportunities"

Now the reasons why this international students scale through the hectic STUDY PERMIT requirements are because;

1. They pay a year tuition
2. Show verifiable proof of living expenses (10kCAD)
3. They have viable financial institutions that give student loans with flexible payment intervals.
4. They hardly submit fraudulent documents which can ruin the chances of others.
5. Indians and Chinese immigrants invest a lot in Canada if you go to greater Toronto areas or Vancouver you'll confirm this.

So tell me why they won't be favoured. They don't care if they don't have a clear purpose of visit or whatsoever PRUDENCE is the order of the day

Also another clear reason why we Nigerians have so many refusals is simply because the study permit program in Canada as become over successful and there is simply not enough space. You need to see the way universities and colleges cash out yearly from international students it's unbelievable and when you notice that some other countries are given more priority then where do we stand. Where do we stand in a situation;
1. Where we're using 2/3 co-sponsors where some Asian kid as paid one year school fees and still doesn't mind paying 1kcad every month on living expenses.

2. Where do we stand when some people have ruined others chances through fraudulent documents

3. Where do we stand when other nationals are purchasing GIC(Guaranteed investment certificate) in the tune of 10kcad upwards to show proof of fund and we are still drawing table on how our uncle/brother/sister will sponsor us and getting #500 affidavit to support our claim

Please guys don't beat yourself up the system is flawed you aren't stupid or unfortunate it's just how the system works. I have met 2 immigration lawyers in Canada and I have seen some truth about the system.


Canada’s lack of a federal business immigration program and the difficulty of entering as a skilled worker through the express-entry system is adding to the overwhelming numbers of international students lining up for permanent residency. People from abroad are becoming students, just to have a pathway to immigration, he says.

“They're forcing people that really shouldn't go to school into the school system. And that's why, perhaps, the refusal rates are higher


On the contrary you can set yourself apart by boosting your chance if you have the means;
1. Pay a year tuition
2. Keep living expenses in the tune of 10KCAD in a fixed deposit and let it mature for at least 3months
3. Avoid fraudulent documents
4. Keep your SOP simple and straight to the point
5. Avoid using confusing documents
6. I'm sorry to say but limit the amount of co-sponsors if possible
7. Apply for relevant courses.

P.S: At thus rate the Canadian government might have post graduate work programs for people that study specific technical courses only while the rest will go home just like what we witnessed in UK.

Keep your heads high and keep pushing. It is well. Cheers

Hello Gurus in the house

I have been a silent reader on this thread for a while but I need an advice at the moment urgently.

Let me brief you about myself. I'm a 27y/o lady with Bsc finance(3rd class) and PGD finance. I rounded up nysc in 2015 and haven't gotten a job since then.

A friend of mine who is resident in Canada suggested to me an idea on migrating to Manitoba via school. She suggested a school ( University College of the North), the Pas Manitoba because of its cheap tuition.

I checked for the programs online but all they offer is undergraduate diploma courses and few Bachelor's programs.

Right now, I'm thinking of applying for a two year diploma course in Business Administration as its a perquisite to getting a bachelor's degree in Business Administration according to their website..(I.e. 2 yrs for diploma and another two years program to be awarded a BSc).

And the tuition per year is around (6300 cad) which I feel is the least i have ever come across for an international student.

My question now is
1. Can someone of my age apply for the diploma

2. What are my chances of getting a visa by applying for an undergraduate diploma ( as whether to include in my LoE that I have a university degree or just my high school result)

3. What and what are to be explained in my SoP and how to address the year gap of my studies and all. ( ssce 2008, Bsc 2014, PGD 2019)

Lastly , I see this is an opportunity for me as its affordable for my sponsor so I await your contribution as I intend to apply for Sept 2020. Thank you

Good Morning,

Please is there anyone here who wants to apply or has previously applied to Saint Mary University's Masters of Finance program?

Qudkom:


Hello, everyone as a chance to get into Canada. However little factors can count against you;
1. Applying for another Bsc program. Please don't try it.

2. Going for a mere "diploma" program. That's also a no.

3. What you need is a post graduate program that gives you the opportunity to get exrta credit to boost your weak BSc and also give you relevant skills to get a good job afet graduation.

Recommendations
1. Cape Breton University post baccalaureate business programs
2. Thompson Rivers university post baccalaureate business programs.

A post baccalaureate program is of interest to students who have a degree and want to return to university for one or two years to acquire a specialty in a functional area of business. Students with a first degree in business, but who want to change their area of focus, may complete a post-baccalaureate diploma as well.
