Please is it possible and okay to defer an admission while your study permit is being processed or after getting a visa? Will there be issue doing that?

It is okay to defer an admission while your SP is still in process

philonyx:
Please I want to use the Canadian webform to send the school deposit I made and then this question: "Is your application being processed by an office OUTSIDE Canada?" If yes; what do I answer " where is the application being precessed". Thanks

You can actually choose either of London, Kenya or lagos. As long as your application number and UCI number are accurate. Any office you choose will direct your request to the office handling your application.

It is true that the University of Manitoba is very easy to get without much stress for an undergraduate degree. However, the institution will not offer you a straightforward admission into your choice of program. Generally, you will be given an admission into the University 1 program which will be a prerequisite into your enrollment to your main program. Most times it's a bit dicey to explain to the visa officer about your intent to study and type of program/degree.

With that being said, the University of Regina will grant you a direct admission into a Bachelor's program which gives you the opportunity to be able to explain to the visa officer about your interest in pursuing the program in Canada. To me, this is much more better than a University 1 program. In all, applicants do get approval with it, depending on your explanation to the VO about the prerequisite program.

Please note that the insightful information I share here is based on my first-hand experiences with several institutions both at the undergraduate and postgraduate level.


It will end in praise.

Thanks a lot sir, I'm just hearing about the university 1 program and I found out it actually true, university of R is bigger than my wallet can you recommend cheaper uni for undergraduate.
Any advice on Concordia University of Edmonton? (Tuition:2k+ per term)
Thanks.

Please I have something bordering me. So I want to share here for your advice.
My TRV was declined on March 2020 on the reason of insufficient fund and personal asset.
So I contacted a lawyer who advised that I seek for judicial review. I did and the refusal was upturned and I was asked resubmit and updated documents.
Now I have got all other documents except the scholarship award update.
My problem is that my new start date is 7th September 2020. I am yet to submit the updated documents due to
1. Am yet to get the scholarship award update
2. Am afraid what will happen if I resubmit at the end of the month though am not sure when the updated award letter will be available because of the long process.
3. Should I go ahead and submit the available documents while i wait for the award letter?
4. I feel the start date is too close. The school had earlier said that they will not deferred my admission again because I have exhausted my deferment chances based on several Visa refusals upto 5 times.
Please what should I do now?

Alright. I will.
Thank you very much for your response. God bless you!

Letter of deferral is fine provided that it covers relevant information about the program start date, duration, tuition fees, DLI number of the school etc. However, I would best suggest you chill until the end of the month before sending the updated letter to IRCC.



It will end in praise

Thanks alot!

Thank you so much, I totally agree with you as regards changing in the middle of my study permit application. I have read the schools policy on refund and they made provision for the transfer of the tuition deposit to another institution when you withdraw. So my plan is to apply to another school and secure a seat then when I get my study permit approval, would notify the school of my withdrawal and CIC of my change of school.

Moreso, I checked it out that taking up another program after grad would be expensive because my programme is 21,000 CAD for a 1year PGD and any other one I take up may be in that neighbourhood. Someone posted here an advance Dip in Financial Management @ the Uni. Of Manitoba, the prog is 24,000 CAD and it's a 2 year prog. For me it makes a lot of sense to to change to such program that is gives me 2 years of study and is relatively cheap, than to spend almost 40,000 CAD in Saskpoly.

I hope it turns out well and I'm really grateful for the insights all of you are making available to us, I got the confidence to apply for my study permit myself because of you all and I'm still open to learning more so that myself and other JJCs like me can make better informed decision.

Thank you again!

Eilenora:
You may wish to check your school's refund policy before doing this. Fanshawe for example provides refunds only where you were refused a study permit.

Also, why not wait until you get your permit before changing schools? Changing in the midst of a study permit application may just complicate things in my own opinion.

Finally, you can proceed with your 1 year programme and simply apply for another 1 year programme upon completion to bag the 3 yrs post study.

Hi Just Mellow,

Lols @ having your mouth wide open with excitement and closing it again! Don't worry, I'd be back to share the good new, and we would all rejoice together.

Considered the option of extending like I explained in my previous reply, but it would be just too expensive and yes, I have my eye on thier refund policy and deadline.

Thank you so much for your contribution.

JustMellow:


Hello Mogullet,

The heading to this post though. I had my mouth wide open to excitement only to close it towards reading to the middle. The common excitement that comes with such heading here is that of a success story to an approval.

Its good that based on your decision you've decided to apply to a second DLI with a 2yr course choice. However, you may just be overreacting over this PGWP. Since you've already appied for your visa and paid part of your fees, why don't you allow it play out by not requesting for a refund. You may just lose quite some sum which may become regrettable.

Why not just consider the option of extending your SP within Canada and applying for a second program. If you still intend to go ahead, endeavour to enable the change within Canada while keeping an eye on the deadline date for refund of the other DLI.

Check the penultimate page for the list of cheap DLI. Ayoola dropped a handful of list.

All the best

Really sorry to hear about all your refusals.
Like you, I am also waiting for my scholarship award update letter from a governmental agency.

Let me share my experience.

The delay in releasing scholarship letter cost me my admission at the University of Ottawa last year.

I got my admission to UBC in February, wrote to them and till date, I am yet to receive my updated letter.
In July, I decided to apply for my study permit with the old scholarship letter.

This is what I did:
1. I attached a letter of explanation to my proof of funds. I titled it: Letter of explanation (Funds)
In it, I gave a detailed explanation on everything that had happened since 2018. I explained that due to COVID-19, the governmental agency closed and they only partially opened recently, hence the delay in getting my updated sponsorship letter.

2. I got a letter of attestation from my employer ( The award is implemented by my employer (a university). In the letter, they assured the embassy that my updated scholarship award letter will eventually be released. They should give me the needed assistance.

In addition I submitted:
3. Old scholarship letter
4. Admission letter from Ottawa
5. Emails sent to the government agency
6. Showed proof that the agency had transferred the money into my account.

I submitted my application for my two kids and I. Earlier this month, I got my AIP

PLEASE NOTE: My immigration adviser from my school advised me against submitting. It was a risk.

I did it by faith in God.

I prayed and fasted. God did it. I am confident He will perfect that which He has started.

I wish you the very best. I hope this helps.

The was the one that asked for updated award letter

hello guys i am tring to apply to conestoga college for a certificate programme in construction managent ,and i find out i need to evaluate my transcript .please has anyone applied to the school before how did u go about send them your transcript

Good evening people!!!

Please I want to ask a question with regard to pending study permit and starting studies in Canada

IRCC says for all applications sent in before September 15th, we can start studies pending approval, and the studies will count towards post graduate work permit

I applied since June 12, and I'm yet to get a response from them. My semester starts 9th September, and I am thinking of proceeding instead of deferring

What do you guys think? The school also says its okay to start before approval comes in.

Beckley40:
hello house,
i applied to university of regina undergraduate health studies application fee was waived. It was written I need to declare post secondary school attended which I did, my question is I haven 2year national diploma initially OND on the admission page if u declare post secondary education u need transcript and it should be evaluated by wes ...pls I don't know what to do I don't even need transfer credit I intended starting all over as undergraduate applicant. I can still provide my transcript but Wes evaluation is time consuming pls what should I do is just OND not Bsc.

Conestoga college, Loyalist College accepts official transcripts

Hi everyone, I just got an admission offer from Conestoga college for an 8months course starting in Jan 2021 and I've accepted the offer, but on the school's website there's no lead on next steps to take after accepting the offer. Pls guys who's in same shoes and what am I to do next ? BTW, Is it avdvisable to use an agent in visa application, agent get paid after jobs done .

I am also going for an 8months at Conestoga college Jan '21... It's not advisable to use an agent. I'm about to submit my SP application just having issues with payment which I'll take care of soon.

Usually, after paying the Acceptance Fee, there isn't much to do on the student portal, just get your approved SP then contact your International students advisor. Your major activity starts after paying your first semester fees by October

Personally I didn't evaluate my transcript. Although I obtained the official one from my school and told them I was sending it to the US, the did the necessary stamps and interpretation. I think this thing with evaluation may be peculiar with STEM courses

A welcome development by Nigeria's Minister of Aviation

Hopefully VAC/VFS Global Canada, Lagos & Abuja Centers follow suit and begin operation ASAP

immigration lawyer? wow! how much did it cost to het a judicial review?

Good Evening,

Please help out here. Does anyone have any information?

Sunshine777:
Good Morning,
Please, I need help.
Can I use the same upfront medical I got from study visa for PR (It states student on it)? I did it last month(July). Has anybody done this?


http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/medic/assess/using.asp

----------------------------------------
A medical assessment is interchangeable and can be used for other immigration categories, unless the medical officer imposed one of the following limitations on the assessment:

The most commonly used limitations are:

“Assessed as excessive demand exempt only”. A new immigration medical examination is required if the applicant applies under an immigration category that is no longer excessive demand exempt (e.g. the foreign national applied as sponsored spouse (FC-1) and now applies as Federal Skilled Worker)
“Assessed as Temporary Resident only”. A new immigration medical examination is required if the applicant applies for permanent resident status or extend his or her stay in Canada.

It is okay to defer an admission while your SP is still in process

What about after you have been granted a visa?
