Please friends. I had someone to help me secure a job in Canada, therefore processing a work visa since September and I didn’t receive a call yet ...

But what do you guys think can be wrong as some of my friends have gone (he did it for us together).

Hello everyone!

I have decided on Lambton college for a two year course (Advanced photography). I'm a photographer with enough experience and portfolio. Do I need to apply to more than one school? Because someone told me I'll stand a better chance at the Canadian embassy if I apply to more than one school.

I'm looking at September 2020, is that adequate time to apply and get visa? I will start my school application next week and apply for visa immediately if I get it. So latest February 2020, I'll start the visa processing

P.S: It's a post graduate course and I have a BSc

PwityMiwa:
Hello All,

Happy new year, Please i graduated from Caritas Univeristy Enugu, will the school be accepted in Canada for masters?

emeify1:
Any idea? After submitting paper application, can the submitted international passport be replaced by a new passport. The old one will expire soon. How is this done pls

emeify1:
@justmellow, thanks. If passport expires while Visa application is being processed, are they likely to ask for a new passport

Shammak:
Good morning fam.

I appreciate everyone for their contributions on this platform, I have been a silent reader for some time now and I must admit that I have learned a lot. Thank you so much.

I have a question and I would appreciate your help.

Last year in July, I was in Canada on a temporary resident visa (visitor) for a research internship. The research internship was for a month. This year, I got a scholarship from the Québec Government to undergo a research internship for 4 months from May/June.

However, I am confused on which visa to apply for. While I was reading the requirements on canada.ca of all the temporary residence visas (visit, study and work permit), I stumbled on a line which got me confused "who has not worked in Canada under this exemption in the last 12 months" (I attached a screenshot of the page). Here is the link to the page

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/permit/temporary/need-work-permit-work.html

I worked as a research intern (with a $1000 scholarship from my supervisor) from July 15 to August 9, 2019. Now, I plan to go again as a research intern who would get stipends from the Québec Government for 4 months (within the said 12 months). In this case, which of the temporary resident visas is best for me?

NB. The research internship will be at a University in Québec and I applied/will apply for the visa from Vienna, Austria.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks i left school (OOU) 2006 and i have been trying to get reference recently but not successful, firstly was difficult to get their contact and I am full time employee, so travelling to the school and spend few days is not easy, and the one i thought will help did no turn up after several call and physical visit to his office in unilag. I have worked over 10yrs and that's why the master am looking for is course based with professional reference.

Raalsalghul:


Some of us have been through with school for 5 years and over. Lecturers might have died, move on to another school of even if they're still there won't remember you.

You can't just waltz in and ask for a reference from a lecturer, so much explanations must accompany your request. It's quite easier for recent graduates.

This same issue is making think of shelving my application or can you proffer other ways someone might bypass it?

The research is less than 6 months so you can proceed with a visiting visa. Just ensure you have proper documentation to present when you apply.

Applying to more than one school reduces the chances of getting disappointed and doesn't have anything to do with embassy affairs. There is also a lot of advantages applying early it gives you enough time to make plans. I also applied January last year for a September program and that gave me enough time to make my travel plans. All the best...

Thanks bro

I just saw this

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/foreign-workers/researcher-exemption.html

I think I need a work permit. I was exempted from applying for work permit last time and I cannot be exempted again unless it is after 12 months.

Please go through the link (if you are not busy) and let me know what you think.

Thanks for your help bro

JustMellow:




That's why there is a Faculty and a Department in every higher institution around the world. The reference letter doesn't necessarily have to come from the lecturer/professor that taught.

All that is needed is to walk to the (your) department and introduce yourself (endeavour to know your mat number and one or two names of the lecturer(s) who took some courses, name of the HOD during your set and be with some cash as per tradition to entail motivation to help). The department would surely assist you except maybe if your record isn't found.

All the best.

JustMellow:


Hello Shammak,

If you still need further clarification, you can as well contact the international office of the university, they would guide or advise you accordingly.

All the best.

School resumes on Monday, no update whatsoever from CiC on study permit...

Please I need advice on what to do?...

Sent email to school to inform them, no response yet...

Anyone else applied Nov backwards and resuming Jan and has not heard anything from the immigration?

Qudkom:

Acknowledged. I just did. If you have applied within 12 months then it means you aren't eligible to apply again for the work Permit exemption. I think at this point you need to contact the research institute and notify them. Perhaps they can have a solution for you.

lonics:


No,for MUN,is 2.75 on a 4.0 scale
