Insanity:
Hello all,

Please I have a few questions for my Visa application:

1. I have an active Express Entry profile on CIC website, my point is too low so I have not received any ITA. Should I withdraw this Express Entey application before I start my TRV application? I don't want it to complicate my TRV application and I don't see the Expree Entry draw getting that low ever again.

2. Due to this lockdown, I have some outstanding documents I don't have in hand for my application, like parent's birth certificate and evidence of previous employment, can I start the application without these documents? I'm really worried as time is moving so fast and my enrollment for fall 2020 is in 5 months and I have not applied for TRV yet.

3. I read in this thread that POF should be in Current Account and not in Savings Account due to international withdrawal restrictions on Savings Accounts. Please, will my POF in Savings Account affect my TRV aaplication negatively?

Hello Insanity,

Most applicants tending to migrate through the EE route only familiarize themselves with the Federal Skill Worker Program which the CRS keeps increasing. However, its also advised that Nigerian applicants (mostly) should start familiarizing themselves with and exploring the Provincial Nominee Programs especially when the CRS is low. After the draw, applicants with a low CRS who also looked to the way of the PNP may succeed by getting nominated or by been able to secure an employer (which is not easy though because the NOC type must be what the provincr you are applying to requires) which by that gives the applicant an automatic 600 points plus the already had score which exceeds the required CRS for both the FSWP and PNP. Also keep in mind that the requirements for the PNP varies in each provinces. Let me put a stop here.

Answering your questions:

1. If you do not want to explore the PNP route, then with your low CRS, it will be better if your withdraw your application before putting in a new application for your SP. We all know dual intent is allowed and recognized by IRCC and the VOs themselves which applicants have been guaranteed that it won't pose no harm to their TRV application. But however, the VOs act upon their discretion and not to be trusted at any time until the stamped passport has been retrieved and safely in your possession. Since you are still in the pool and with low CRS and with your WHOLEHEART now diverted to the SP route, you may consider withdrawing before applying for your TRV.

2. If they have other means of identification i.e. Nimc, International Passport, Driver's License or other government recognized and valid documents that clearly state their personal bio-data can be used as substitute. If you have your current employment letter and other documents that shows any work experience, you are good to go. In the other hand prior to when the lockdown has been lifted HOPEFULLY in May, you can send them through the CSE or email.

3. No, it won't affect your application. For now, worry less about which account your funds is breathing through.

All the best.

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by Goldmia: 9:52am On Apr 20, 2020

Don't be confused about it. IRCC has stated that it will not refuse applications for non-compliance and it will continue to accept and process applications that are in progress at its case processing centres in Canada and around the world.

Moreover, when it comes time to submit biometrics, applicants will actually have 90 days to complete this step instead of the usual 30 days. Additionally, you can raise a CSE for extension of the biometrics.

I hope this information helps.

It will end in praises.


Please what is CSE Also, do I need a police character certificate or police clearance for my visa processing??

After paying first year tuition fees, you should have 3.5M left in your bank account for one year program living expenses.

CSE simply means Case Specific Enquiry. You use THE NAIROBI WEB FORM platform to enquire about the current status of your application as well as to include additional documents which you deem fit to be useful in your application.

You don't need a police character certificate for study visa application. It's an optional document.

Yes it's very possible to do that only if applications for September 2021 is open. Simply write with cogent reason to the international admission office of your school requesting for a deferment to the next available term.

Hi FrankRobbn1!

Thanks for all the advice you give on the platform.

I remember seeing a post sometime last year where you mentioned Unis that offer full funding for masters programmes. I can’t seem to find it now. Can you please share some suggestions (applicant’s undergrad was in Economics and Mathematics, 1st class).

Thanks!


Have you checked McGill, University of Saskatchewan, University of Alberta, University of Ottawa, Simon Fraser University, Brock University etc

Let me know how I would be of assistance to you.

Mr Frank,
Good day and you do a great job as well as Naijaforeigner as well(I really appreciate)

Please Mr Frank, I have a degree in mechanical engineering but I want to get admission into a school in Canada, post graduate diploma or graduate diploma as they call it there. I tried to google for some schools and all I see is Business management, Human Resource management and some other courses.
I did not see any one that is related to Engineering or even project management something relative to Engineering. Honestly I am used to holding my calculator and finding X so doing courses that doesn’t involve calculating might be a challenge.

So can you suggest some schools I can try also? With a CGPA just above 3 point


1. Refund policy should be good
2. Maybe part scholarship (optional)
3. It should be a DLI

Please Mr Frank I even sent you email as well.

pls how do i go about the bolded?


A bank statement generated online can be used for your visa application. Nigerian commercial banks like the Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) have now made it easier for their customers to acquire a signed and stamped SOA without visiting any of their branches. In view of the foregoing, I would suggest you should make a brief explanation in your letter sighting at the difficulty of getting a hard copy of SOA from the bank due to the current global pandemic lockdown. The situation is very understandable and the visa officer will acknowledge the SOA and move forward with the verification of its authenticity with the bank.

You don't have to notarize any of your documents if the documents have an official stamp or signature.

In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to reach out here for assistance.

Did you passed the medical before BVL?

Rollyxxmv:
I have not gotten a refusal yet Mr Frankrobbn1.
I only got a BVL yesterday.

And I said from what I've been reading on here, a BVL before medical request is likely a refusal.

Looking at my profile which i wrote earlier, a cause for alarm?

Thank you very much for your response. I will want to dm ask what is the difference between GRADUATE CERTIFICATE AND GRADUATE DIPLOMA. Then also does graduate certificate increases CRS scores?

University of Saskatchewan,...they said I have to have 70% cgpa before I can apply and mine is not up to. I have 62%. And they are also saying I should search for supervisors first before applying.

Memorial University of Newfoundland, Newfoundland and Labrador .... same with this one to search for supervisor and 70% cgpa for post graduate diploma.

Graduate diplomas offered in Canada are typically taken following a bachelor's degree and a successful award allows progression to a master's degree. Depending on the institution, a graduate diploma in Canada may be at graduate level or bachelor's level.

Similar courses at other Canadian institutions may be termed postgraduate diplomas at graduate level and post-baccalaureate diploma at bachelor's level.

Graduate Certificate is a credential usually offered to students who have completed an average of 15 credits of graduate course work[clarification needed].

Admission requirements vary tremendously among Canadian universities, but in general both graduate students, as well as undergraduate students having completed a Bachelor's degree, can apply to such a program. In some cases, the graduate certificate can represent part of the coursework required for obtaining a Master's degree.

From my own perspective, I feel they are the same..

As per the PGD of the Universities, since ur Percentage is less than what they require, u can opt for the PGC/PGD Colleges (e.g Fanshawe and Lambton)
With ur percentage, u will likely get admitted to a College.

And there are other schools offering PGC/PGD courses Engineering not necessarily Mech. Eng.
