Chocs:
Hello Jjessicachizoba,

Don’t start your application on a bad note. If they find out you lied, you’re looking at a 5 year ban.

Also note that if you decide to conceal your Bsc and apply for another Bsc you have to explain what you have been doing since you finished secondary school with proof! You said you have a 2.1, you have a great shot at a Master’s. And PR (permanent residence) after the master’s. Take your time and read this thread from the beginning, it has everything you need for a successful master’s and even visa application. And if you have any questions, feel free to ask on the group. The “Easy way” is not always the best way. Be wary of agents, not all of them know what they’re doing.

All the best

U welcome, Ok

Hmmm, agent ,

Well I mean no disrespect, but an agent telling you not to mention your B.SC degree is very wrong. If you are giving false information to get a Visa, & it is detected, you can bebanned, and such sanction can be extended to other Countries Canada share information with in terms if Immigration.

Be very sure & certain he/she is a Licensed Canada Immigration Agent before you carry on totally with him/her, so u don't waste your time and resources

Cos there are lotz of Agents out there who are just bent on duping people of their hard earn money



To your question,
Of course you av to.

To get a second degree (Masters or PG. Cert), it is highly mandatory of you to apply with your Transcript & Certificate of Highest (B.SC), cos that's what the Admission committee of any skool would dwell on to make a decision whether they gonna give you an admission or not.

Since u av a 2.1, u are good to go for an M.SC

Popoolam:
To anyone that wants to give up, I am begging you not to. Believe me, I can understand the mental torture these applications can give someone.

I am so thankful, I just received my PPR. It feels like I am just breathing well for the first time in months.

I also received the NSE letter, but I submitted only the my Bank statement certificate. In the case of the IELTS, I forwarded them a letter explaining how it was not possible for me to do the exam and get a result before the timeline and attached a waiver letter/mail from my DLI. Please note that this was just my case and I’m not declaring it as Avenue to bypass the IELTS requirement but it is an option in an extreme case.

I got my upfront medical uploaded in a few days by bombarding any and all international IRCC mails I could find. I did this as well as the option of waiting for them to pick my web forms

I want to thank you all for the relevant information. God bless you

Now, onto the passport submission phase.
I would really appreciate any and all information I can get on this. The only thing I know at this point is avoid Lagos vfs.

Debbyiiii:

I sent you a mail

I was in this situation earlier this year. My old passport was to expire by Sept 2021, and my studies is to start this January. What did I do? I had to apply for the study permit with the old passport and then go to immigration headquarters Abuja to renew my passport. It too one month for the new passport to be issued.

Note that for a passport that has more than 6 months validity, the renewal can only be done in Abuja. And you must present a very valid reason for wanting to get a new passport. In my own case, I had to submit my National ID card, my old passport, my admission letter, with another letter explaining that I need a passport that has validity that exceeds my study period (4 years) in order to be issued up to five years of study visa. After submitting these things to my contact in the Abuja office, I was granted approval to come for capturing after two weeks. A week later, I received my passport via courier in Enugu. The cost was 40k.

If you don't want to go to Abuja JUST for a passport, then you can report it as a missing passport in one of the state immigration offices. But in this case, you'll have to obtain a police report, wait for few weeks for approval for a new passport, and then go for capturing at the state office. The bottom line: it will cost far too much to renew it in a state office (the police report alone is around 15k, I was told), and it will take longer, plus your new passport will still be of the old Nigerian passport format (only the national immigration headquarters issues the new/updated passport format, I was informed).

After obtaining the new passport, I had to send the data page via webform to IRCC which they acknowledged and added to my file.

Good day everyone,

I am planning on applying for a study permit next year for a program that starts in September.

My International Passport expires December next year.

My question is if I go ahead to use this passport, will it be an issue when I apply for Visa?

Celoexpress:
Good morning Mr Frank.

Please I will appreciate if Mr Frank or any other person that can assist helps with this.

I applied first week in October and did my upfront medicals. This has been updated to pass on my dashboard although I did not get the NSE request till date.

The issue is I did not initially include my sponsor's payslip or employment letter when i submitted my application because he was not in the Country. I only submitted a letter from him on the company letterhead, his statement of account and his Company ID. Is it too late to send the employment letter or pay slip and if I can still do that, can i upload them via my GC key dashboard where it says upload documents or should I upload it via Kenya IRCC webform.

Will really appreciate an advise from the gurus in the house please. It is very urgent.

@lekiboboe
Thank you for your prompt response.
I’m truly new to this application process and I’m using an agent.

I have a 2.1 from my previous degree, but what if I want to get a second first degree. Do I need to put that on my school application that I’ve done a first degree?

Thank you

Please help with suggestion for the above abeg

Uzomachukwu:


I read this again and saw you mentioned 'a family member in immigration passport office'. That's excellent. And 4th January is an early enough date. Remember, this year is as good as spent; IRCC will go on holiday on Monday, I think. So it means no communication from then until 4th, I think (please don't mind me, I think a lot). If that happens to be so, it means PPR will likely not be coming earlier than the date you'll start your passport renewal process. So find out from your 'family member's how long it will take for the new passport to be out——one, two or three weeks?

mcobex:
Since she knows someone there, I think she can get it same day.

Jjessicachizoba:
Hi, please I’m new here and I would be grateful for any information I can get.
I am applying to the university of Manitoba for a Bsc program.
My question is:
I am a Bsc holder and I have been advised to apply for a Bsc as that is an easier route. So I have to state I haven’t done a Bsc in my application, is that a wise decision?
My next question would be dependent on the response I get from this first question.
Thank you.
