If the school you're planning to attend requests for a hardcopy of the transcript then you'll send it through courier. You just have to go to your school here and inquire about payment and they'll put you through

GreatMage:
Do I have to send documents by courier?
And how?

There are now a total of 23 reported VACs open with limited services:

Austria

Vienna

Bahrain

Manama

China

Beijing
Chengdu
Chongqing
Guangzhou
Hangzhou
Jinan
Kunming
Nanjing
Shanghai
Shenyang

Germany

Düsseldorf

Greece

Athens

Iraq

Erbil

Israel

Tel Aviv

Italy

Rome

Japan

Osaka
Tokyo

Malaysia

Kuala

The Netherlands

The Hague

United Arab Emirates

Abu Dhabi
Dubai

Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) says they are taking measures to aid in the health and safety of staff and the people who use the services at VACs. Keeping social distancing and hand hygiene at the core of their efforts, the number of people allowed in a VAC may be limited, and staff will frequently clean the VAC. They will also use gloves, face masks, and face shields. Both staff and visitors may be subject to temperature checks, and of course, no list of safety measures would be complete without hand sanitizer.
Travel restrictions still in effect

Canada’s travel restrictions are still in place until June 30 for most foreign nationals. Currently, immediate family members of Canadians are exempt from this measure, as well as work permit holders who are coming to do an essential service in the country, and students whose study permits were approved before March 18. Everyone else who is not a Canadian resident must demonstrate that they are coming to Canada for an essential reason.

All travelers to Canada must quarantine for 14 days upon arrival, and be able to demonstrate to Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers that they have an adequate quarantine plan.

“While the travel restrictions are still in place, completing further steps in the application process, such as providing biometrics when possible, will help expedite processing once travel restrictions are lifted,” the government webpage says.

A surge of immigration applications are expected to cause processing delays after the travel restrictions are scaled back.

Please I have been following this thread and I need advice.

Am a 2.1 graduate of History & International Relation and i want to go for a Masters in Public and International Affairs at the York University but the birth date in my WAEC certificate is different from the one on my official birth certificate. Will this be a problem for me or should I shoot my shoot since I will have to submit both when submitting my application??

Hey guys is it safe to raise another cse form about paper application exceeding the normal processing time

You can get another birth certificate to match the one of Waec

Gurus in the house,

Does anyone know much about "Career development College"

I mean what it entails

Just do affidavit for your WAEC that is all. No problem about that.

So, I thought I would leave some hints about how to write a statement of interest. I think it is better if you break your essay down into sessions so the visa officer can find it easy and interesting to read. You may use the example below.


Background:
Here, you should talk about your academic background, your work experience(s) that are relevant to your studies, annual income, your program in Canada, start and end date. Who is your sponsor, your relationship with your sponsor and how much you have paid towards your tuition.
Note: Keep whatever you say regarding the bolded to one or two sentences because you will elaborate later. Also, don't worry about repetition, you want to keep putting those good things about you in the Visa officer's mind as they read.
Note: They often read everything. I've seen a GCMS note where the officer said the statement of interest is Vague. This part is like your introduction, more like a summary of everything you have to say in your letter. The rule of thumb is that if the introduction doesn't make sense, the body of the letter or essay won't make sense too.

My Study Plan
This is the part where you have to kill it. You should link whatever you say to your future goals. You must be concise and clear. It is not about how much you write, you don't want to be vague. Make whatever your writer personal. Think like you are in front of a visa officer and you have to convince him to approve your visa. The goal of this part is to address the first condition of the study permit (PURPOSE OF VISIT).

Note: Keep this part to 4 to 5 paragraphs and each paragraph should be between 5 to 8 lines, 12 font, new times roman. This font and font size are standard for APA academic writing.

Example:

In the first paragraph, talk about why you are interested in your proposed program and link it to your future goals. This should be brief because you will elaborate in the next paragraph

Paragraph two, talk more about why you choose your program. You can get information from your program website. (You know that info about your program on the school website, paraphrase it and make it sound like they are your words). Conclude the paragraph by linking whatever you say to your future career goals.

Paragraph three, you should talk about your career goals. In this part, you need to put everything together. You could talk about how your previous study has prepared you for this new program. Link your previous studies and work experience with your proposed study. Then link everything to your future plans.

Paragraph four, you should link what you spoke about in paragraph three to coming back home to pursue your goals. For example, if you have a job /business that you will be going back to, talk about them. Talk about how your study in Canada would help you to grow in your future career. Talk about the possibility of progression in your current job and how studying your program in Canada would help you. You may also talk about how you plan to contribute to your country's development.


Why I choose my school (name the school)
You can get information from the school website. Remember to paraphrase and link whatever info you get to how studying your program in that school is the best choice. Keep to one or two paragraphs.

E.G, After much research, I realized that to grow in my career, I have to study where education is best taught. I choose MUN, amongst other schools because of whatever. I have learned that MUN emphasis on whatever that helps students to learn better. The availability of best professors, and cutting edge research opportunities and whatever inspires me to study at MUN. Something like that. Don't use my words, please. As you know, many people would be reading this.

Why I choose Canada.
Keep this to two paragraphs.

Financial Sponsorship
Here, talk about your sponsors, how much they will support with, mention it if you have paid tuition/accommodation and how much you paid. You may have said this in the introduction, don't worry, it is okay to repeat yourself. Think about it like you are reminding the visa officer about your proof of funds. (The goal here is to talk about the second condition, PROOF OF FUNDS).

Home Ties and Assets
You have to kill this part too and don't worry about repeating yourself. You maY keep it to 3 to 5 paragraphs. The goal here is to convince the officer about the third condition (HOME AND ECONOMIC TIMES). I must say this is the most difficult part.

Example

Paragraph one: Talk about your job/business in Nigerian, how you are doing with them and your plan to come back to them upon completion of your studies.
Paragraph two: You can talk about your professional connections and associations.
Paragraph three: Talk about your relationship with your family. Let the officer know that family is important to you. Your goal is two make this emotional so the officer can understand that your whole life is in Nigeria and you will not throw it away for living in Canada.

Paragraph four: Talk about your financial ties. Do you have properties, cars, rental agreement, stock, money in savings etc. Mention them and conclude this paragraph by saying you have strong economic and family ties to your home country and ask the officer to give high consideration to this. If you signed an affidavit, mention it state that you assure the officer that you will be coming back home after your studies. (I recommend you provide documents for whatever you say here)

Last paragraph: This part, your goal is to make this emotional and connect with the officer's mind. Visa officers are humans too. Remember you have said lots of positive things about yourself, so this is the time to assume that the officer likes you and sees you as a qualified candidate. You should ask the officer to be part of your success story. Write this part as if you are in a job interview and you have the feeling that you will get the job.


Write your conclusion by stating that you believe you are qualified for the study permit based on the info you have provided and urge the officer to approve your application. You should also include your contacts in case they need additional information.


lastly, make sure you use good grammar. Like you are writing an academic paper. It's annoying to have to read a letter that is written poorly. I will be happy if I read a sentence once and understand what you're saying. If I have to read most of your sentences two-three times, to understand, I will be pissed and lose interest. I hope this is helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to ask

Hello sir,My name is Abdul.I just got admitted into university of windsor.It will be a big privileged to have you review my Statement of purpose.Please sir I will really appreciate it sir.God bless you in advance

Good morning & happy Sunday to y'all

He did a table of content of Documents he Uploaded to his Client Information , Affidavit of Confirmation of Names was part of the doc. in the list, So he submitted his Application
and later he realized that he didn't merge that document in his Client Information..

The names he bear, Surname is Constant but his names were not arranged the same way in some of his documents

E.g Arturo, Michael Semedo in some documents

Arturo, Semedo Michael in some other documents.

Though the names in his Admission Letter, his CIC Profile and Birth Certificate are arranged the same way
Jz wanna know , is there anything to worry about as regards this ?
Thanks

Good Morning guys, please I need you advice.
I got admitted to PGD Industrial Automation starting this Fall September. I got a mail from the school some days back that my program intake has been suspended, the deadline to pay my tuition is tomorrow June 15th.
I have mail the school if I should continue my study permit in-view that the program will resume intake later-on but have not gotten response yet.
I want to continue the visa processing(meaning I have to pay the fees), but I am not sure how the status of the program will affect the application.
Please your candid advice will be appreciated.

Good morning House, please can I apply for masters in any university in Canada with CGPA of 3.31

Katieposh:

Just make sure the program u are going for aligns with ur previous degree, so it can show a career progression

E.g B.SC or HND in Electrical Electronics going for a PGC/PGD in Mechatronics

medidress:
Good morning House, please can I apply for masters in any university in Canada with CGPA of 3.31

Ur best option with the above CGPA is a PGD or PGC

Okay. Understood. Many thanks

With this CGPA, maybe not! But if you have work experience related to your course choice, it might give you an edge or advantage.

Ps: I know this to be true for some courses in UofR.

medidress:
Good morning House, please can I apply for masters in any university in Canada with CGPA of 3.31

Please, Can I share my SOP with you? I will be very grateful if you can have a look. Thanks!

Good Morning guys, please I need you advice.

Please your candid advice will be appreciated.

It was suspended? When your LOA was sent did you read the instructions? Most times they'll ask you to pay a certain amount from $500 - $2,000 (depends on your school) to secure your spot for classes usually with 30days Max. Maybe you didn't meet up. if you proceed with your study permit application it may not end in praises cause when they contact your school they'll be informed if the suspension. Now if the above is your situation then Your best bet is to email your school to reinstate your admission while you pay the fees and late fees inclusive or best-bet, defer it to January 2021.
