Chocs:
Yesterday, some people in the house got letters without an address but usually the address is written at the end of the letter.

Ok. Thanks

Hello Naira Landers,
I have been quietly reading and following up comments in various sections especially this Canada Study Permit Section.
I am running a Study Permit Application for my brother and I wish to share his timeline below;

Second Time Applicant; First Application was refused in March 2020.

Application Submission: May 8
Medical Request: July 22
AIP: September 8
Correspondence Letter: October 21

Application was for Fall 2020. School agreed to defer to Winter 2021 since there were delays.
School is University of Ottawa, M.Eng Engineering. They are on the DLI COVID-19 list.

There is no Office address on both AIP and Correspondence Letters

Its 45 days into my application (submitted Sept 7th) and yet no contact from canada sigh.. My application just shows review of eligibility and processing background checks (ps. I have done biometrics before from my previous travel to canada, so no need for biometrics request)... I will continue to keep the faith and I know it will end in praise, may this year be favorable for us ��

Hello,
Please how do I know which Canadian embassy is processing my application?

Pimp04:
Hi! Congrats,
Please which Canadian embassy address did it come from?

Maybe we can learn from this ;
*IRCC WEBINAR for Indians OCT 22*

1. Your visa will be in a deactivated state if your college is not on the covid ready list (those who have visas)
2. If you have an AIP for 2021 then you must have deffered and if you did then you have to notify the ircc about the defferal with a new loa via the webform
3. for the classes starting in 2021 you will get a normal visa (NO AIP if you have an aip send them the new LOA via webform)
4. All the applications will be on hold if the said DLI is not yet on the list. only those application who's DLI's are on the list will be prioritised and also advances to 2nd stage.
5. If you have completed 1 full year online you are still eligible for PGWP (for 1 year programs)
6. If your college is on the list you can travel anytime for sept students irrespective of the mode of delivery (3 weeks prior before the class start date for jan students)
7. VFS will open stage wise (Delhi vfs is open for accepting passports)
8. There is no date on vfs yet discussions are going for November opening.
9. No POE is needed if your DLI is on the list. carry your loa, quarantine package list (or ur quarantine plans), passport and visa.
10. when they know when vacs will open then they will prioritise who has to give biometrics first.
11. No ppr's will be issued without biometrics (my ppr is on hold due to no bio)
12. passport requests will be sent to students who's DLI is on the list.
13. Quarantine plan is at the college discretion.
14. you can give biometrics in another country but you cant give biometrics at the port of entry (no bio no visa)
15. DLI list will be updated every 2 weeks (dli can update you before the 2 week time).

Amen, I can imagine how tiring this is for you but please keep hope alive. I submitted my study permit application, April 9th but due to covid, I can't even count the days of waiting again. I just trust that God will perfect everything.

Hello,
Please gurus I need your help, when I was applying for study permit, I was told police clearance is optional, so I didn't submit one. Please could that be the reason the embassy has been quiet? Please how safe is this for my application? If it is not safe, can I still add the police clearance to my application?
I received AIP on August 6, medicals (passed), and biometrics (completed Sept 1) and I have not received any update since then. I was counseled on Monday to apply for GCMS notes which I submitted yesterday. Please what should I do?

Nice... I believe all will work out well.
I heard that applications submitted before mid sept will be processed through the 2-step approach, since my application falls into that category (submitted before mid September) what do you think I should be expecting, AIP or medical request??

If they need a police clearance they will surely inform you, cos I too I didn’t submit any police clearance because I wasn’t asked to do so at the point of my application

Long post alert
PPR request, let me catch my breathe

PASSPORT REQUEST JUST DROPPED!!!

Full timeline coming soon.

My Honourables in the house,

BVL just dropped around 4:30am Nigeria time

Loading!

Thanks so much Lekiboboe . Helpful !!!

Lekiboboe:

Hmmm..ok Oreoluwamipo,

Well..

In my own opinion,

In her Cover Letter,
she should find a way to create/develop a cogent reason why she's going for a PGC in HR (based on her Degree in Psychology & her Work experience in Customer Service Rep.)

The link below can help her in that

https://www.online-psychology-degrees.org/faq/can-i-pursue-a-human-resources-job-with-a-psychology-degree/#:~:text=While%20some%20colleges%20and%20universities,the%20field%20of%20human%20resources.

Also, about her Customer Service Representative Work experience,
I would suggest she should check for the Similarities btw Customer Service Rep. and HR, so she can av more clarity & cogent reasons on why she's going for a PG. Cert in HR at Candore College.

The link below can help her to decipher that
https://www./any-similarity-between-customer-service-job-human-resource-sharmin

So in a nutshell, she should endeavor to write a Cover Letter based on the above information, and also make use of those Tips I mentioned to u based on your Scenerio (Pol. Science transitioning to HR)

Also,
all of this are what she can write in her SOP (Statement of Purpose),
Cos even after she gains the admission, Canada Study Visa Application is like another hurdle which she gotta convince a Visa Officer (VO) in her SOP with Cogent (Strong) Reasons why she is going for a an HR program instead of a Psychology or Psychology-related Program.

I hope u find this helpful

All da best!

You go Girl !!!!!!

Since the VAC in Nigeria not currently accepting passports, how will the passports be stamped? Can they be sent to other VACs?

*sigh of relief*
Thanks for your response, will wait patiently.

The VO does not believe that going to Canada to study Occupational Health and Safely Management is a reasonable expense, probably because you did not clearly state in your SOP, your reason for studying the course, your long and short term goals when your are done with your studies. And how it also correlates with your present work experience or employment(which you must expansively talk about) or past degree.

Create a specific paragraph for Home ties where you can talk about your family ties and home investments. Explaining to the VO why you must return immediately to Nigeria after your studies

aduomayebe:
Hello guys. So I applied for Post Graduate Certificate course on Occupational Health and safety management at Lambton college in Toronto. My visa was denied in late September but I got my GCMs note today.
The initial purpose of denial in the refusal letter was 1) purpose of visit and 2) I won’t leave Canada Based on my personal assets and financial status.
I have paid the first semester fees and have sufficient money for the next fees.
Total money available in the account statement was around USD 250,000.
Please gurus in the house kindly see my GCMs note and help dissect the case and advised me appropriately

Chydon4God:
Please I need someone to guide me, I have first degree in chemistry and masters in operations and supply chain management and then banking experience. I want to go to Canada to study another Masters. Should I make it chemistry related or banking related to enable me get visa easily?

Make it banking related because of your work experience, and I would advice you not to mention your initial masters. Doing that would not show career progression as the VO would expect you to go for a PHD since you already have a masters. Except you can explain without a doubt why the second masters would be of outmost important to you. But I advice you not to talk about your initial masters.

Olayinkaji:
Guys my gcms notes has arrived. Can someone explain to me please? Looks like the diploma thing as Frank said and probably MY Sop has the issue. I also noticed my criminality was put as "cancelled"
