Wow the house is back alive. If you see as this place dry some few days back.

That's fine, no worries. Deferring your admission would not change your eligibility or status of your application. I called IRCC regarding same in the past. The only thing that might change is your study permit approval and expiration date. So, it's good that you let them know.
I'm not sure why you would need to renew your visa from Nigeria They usually give minimum of a year visa depending on the duration of your study. You are expected to complete 50% of your study in Canada, so you have enough time to travel before it expires.
If your passport expires soon, Just make sure to renew your passport and you have minimum of a year before your submit to IRCC.

Good luck

Good day friends, Please I need help.
I deferred my admission till next year September (cos of covid19) then I raised a webform on cic. cic responded that I should contact Nairobi since that is where my application is domiciled in (which I did via this email nairobi@international.gc.ca but they did not respond till date). Just yesterday I got an email to go for my medicals. My question is, should I raise another webform (on Nairobi page this time) or should I just chill and assume that they are aware already?
Another issue is that if peradventure I secure the study permit, how easy is it to renew it in Nigeria if the expiry date is close before I travel?
Thank you

Tonyodg:
it takes about 3 days.... you can contact them by sending a mail to them to book an appointment

Hello, any idea how long it takes Q Life to send out medical results?

within 5 days

Yes, submit your new admission letter through webform

Ujeinijobog:
Hello, please quick question. I also deferred my admission and I'm in the visa process. As such, is it necessary to inform ircc that I already deferred?
Thank you.

Alright, thank you. Although at the moment, my school said they'll get back to me but they haven't done that yet. While I'm waiting, I don't know if it's a good idea to email IRCC.


House gurus, please I'll appreciate your directions.

Thank you!

ericksen:
You can reach out to them via webform and and email or lets allow the gurus here to respond first.

Thank you so much for your response. I sent them an email but got no response. Should I send another webform? or does the email that I sent earlier (which they did not respond to) suffice?

I think you're good if you already sent them the new admission letter. My brother didn't get a response as well when he sent his new admission letter. But, if you want to confirm that they received it, it won't hurt if you send another email.

When you say Saskatchewan do you mean the province or the university?
There is Uni of Regina and Uni of Saskatchewan.
And both schools take Nigerians.
What course do you intend to study? Does it require you getting a supervisor?
Also how did you send the email? Do your research interest align with the potential supervisor?

These are some things you need to put in mind while sending an email to a supervisor.

Now that yu got an auto email.. the professor may be on leave. Do not forget it is summer and they can still take time off. However you can read up about the other potential professors suggested and contact them if you cannot wait. The thing is even if you send an email to them, they will most likely want to schedule an interview with you to get a feel of who you are... and if you are a match.

With regards to funding, it is the prerogative of the department to determine if you get funding. But yes, international students get funding.

I hope this helps.

Shalom!

Good morning all.
Please how well does Saskatchewan take Nigerians for PhD? I've written to a professor requesting to be my supervisor, but got an automatic response that she's away until next week. I was referred by the mail to other potential supervisors to contact. Should I go ahead and contact them or wait till next week and see if I can get a response?
Also, are there fundings for international students in Saskatchewan schools?

It was not a new admssion letter per se. It's just a document showing that my admission has been deferred. Should I request for a new admission letter from my school?

Hello house!

Please how do I get to Qlife family clinic in VI from Ajah?

I love this your response,

Everything is here.

Over here there is dignity of labour. Wash plate, cleaner, serve food. So far you are able to legally survive. Who would have thought one day that cleaners, garbage truck drivers and delivery men will be termed "essential workers"? but this pandemic brought to fore that all jobs no matter how we see them are very important to the economic survival of the society.
Many of the professional and hot cake jobs we see people hold here are built on the foundation of the washing plate and cleaning jobs they held earlier. I have seen someone's CV that said over 10 years experience in service delivery and i noticed that he started working as a teenager cutting lawns during summer, then while doing his bachelors he was a barista, a dishwasher, a cleaner, a front desk officer and gradually rose on the ranks to be a customer service professional today. All his experiences cannot equate a person who graduated tops with masters in personnel management or service delivery.

And that is what they look at here. The ability to deliver... not fine credentials.

Thank you for this.

Shalom.

Osemigho:


Lol @ washing plate. If you know what people are doing to survive in Canada, you Will know that “washing plate” is not a big deal and it is well respected. The most important thing is how and why you are washing plate.

I have not spent up to three years in Canada, but I have been a security officer, warehouse employee, cleaner, kid lunch supervisor, Teaching assistant, food delivery driver, etc. I have done many job you will call odd jobs except wash plate. but, you know what, it does not matter anymore because I have a very good professional job now that acknowledges my education in Nigeria and Canada.

No education can give you automatic ticket to a job(s). To add water to your garri small, after your education, you will hear the phrase “you don’t have Canadian experience” a lot. Many graduates end up doing hustle job because of this. they never planned to do it but they are at least independent and okay.

If you think “hot cake“ program is the solution, ask those that studied oil and gas related course before 2015 but graduated after the industry collapsed. At the end, your knowledge, perseverance and network will prepare you for great opportunities after school not your program.

Will you believe if I tell you several professional jobs will never ask for your certificate after you resume your job, but will fire you immediately if you can’t do the job your claim you can do. This is why experience, knowledge and skills are more important than your program of study. No one cares about your education if you can’t solve a problem. Plate washers are solving one through their service.

All the best.

For those going for medicals.

This should help. Qlife.

I also noticed same too, there were massive medical requests without biometrics today for prospective applicants on my end. I am of the opinion that IRCC are picking up new strategies and policies in an effort to ensure that applicants can begin their studies this fall 2020.


Keep faith alive and believe the new update will favour everyone on this platform.


It will end in praise.

Amen ooo. It will end in praise.. Hoping for the best �

Good evening everybody
I had my upfront medicals done yesterday and I want to upload it to my ircc application,I heard I have to usr a webform, please how do I go about raising a webform?
Is there a step to step or something to follow?

Each school have their own policy. As long as the document shows your new start date and that you have admission with the school, I think that document would work.

ericksen:

Thank you @Frankrobbn1.
I will present my case with your advice given. Would you love to vet my SOP after it is finished? I will appreciate your help.

Frankrobbn1:



If you seek my good working knowledge in this process. I think it would be reasonable if you talk about your Germany admission in your SOP. My reasons based on this suggestion is that, it will ring a bell into the Visa Officer's discretion in assessing your immigration file that Canada as a country is not your only option of advancing your personal and career development.

I think in the past threads, a successful applicant once shared his TRV success story while sighting that he mentioned his acceptance from a University in Ireland and US as a back up plan for his studies abroad. Consequently, I will advise that you should state it clearly in your SOP as Germany is also a good choice.

You shouldn't delude yourself about what people may tell you that it might dramatically reduce your chances. Oftentimes, prospective applicants do the same thing on this platform with no one bringing up new strategies and ideas. Thus leading to high increase in number of refusals from IRCC. I am acutely aware that there is no automatic no-brainer formula that works for IRCC. So present your case in a logical way that the visa officer will have no reason to refuse your application.


I hope this information helps in your application.

It will end in praise

I also applied on the 30th of June. No response yet. I feel we should hear from them by next week.

It will end in praise.

Iceman2020:
Hello guys!

Please who applied on June 30 or later date and got a medical request from IRCC?

God help person o this country is killing

Thank you for the detailed response. I'm grateful.

An internship will give you three great opportunities;

1. A valuable Canadian experience.
2. A potential job offer after graduation. Although not guaranteed, many employer will offer you job after your graduation if they like you, know you are very good at your work, and have or can create a space for you.
3. Increase your network and Canadian reference. A good recommendation from a Canadian employer or colleague is always appreciated and an internship or co-opt can get you that.

You should know it is your responsibility to get the job. If available, your school or supervisor will only support through recommendation, resume and cover letter review. Attending an internship program does get you an internship.

For students without internship program, your full time summer and twenty hours off-campus opportunity can help you enjoy similar things do-opt programs offer. My supervisor for a part-time customer service job, 10 hrs a week, gave me an excellent recommendation for a full-time professional job.

Don’t ignore starting small and growing into bigger things. The most important thing is to not stop at your humble beginning.

All the best.

NairaLuck:
Please if you're a CONESTOGA hopeful ( Brantford) please let's connect. Esp those starting Jan 2021.

Hi, I got my letter today. Starting January

Did those who received medical requests apply before May 17th or after?

Hello All,

How can I include my share certificates with my applications
It has a different middle name from my current official name

Note: The only difference is just the middle name


Thanks in Advance

It absolutely helps!
Thanks alot.
I meant university of Saskatchewan and my programme does require a supervisor as it involves genetic improvement of a named legume.
I came across her publications online that she worked on same test sample, so I figured my research topic might interest her.
I visited the university website where I got her email address.

What is the nature of the interview, Skype or what?
Just want to know so I prep myself. I attached my CV but not my research proposal with the mail I sent to her. Was it okay or I should have attached my proposal?

Mudicua:

Why would you submit a medical report from a govt hospital. pls IRCC has only two designated health facilities it gives the right to do medicals on their behalf IOM in ikeja and Qlife clinic in Vi.

So you have to wait till you get an update
