Hello Everyone.

Please, I need your help with this.

I'm currently in school in Canada and my husband who is in Nigeria wants to apply for spousal work permit. I was wondering if I have to apply for him or he should apply by himself. I need to extend my study permit next month, can we apply together?

austino677:
Hello, does it mean applicant will have to verify the LOA issued to them by DLI themselves? Or DLI will have to do the verification before issuing LOA to students?

IredeJ:
Hi, please I have a similar question;

I got a refusal letter last week Wednesday from IRCC for my study permit saying; You have not provided a valid Letter of Acceptance from the designated learning institution in Canada at which you wish to study'.

I reached out to my College, and they are as confused as I am because that is the letter that their students have always used in their study permit applications.

How do I go about my re-application?

I intend to reapply quickly because session starts on the 8th of January, 2024. I will appreciate any insights, guys! Thank you so much.

Which province?
Ontario?

hotplate:
Thank you for the response. Any other suggestions please as forklift would not be easily available

Tegnaworld23:
You are both making sense, but sincerely this Canada is not how people used to think it is anymore. Alot of immigrant now which makes it hard to get a minor job. But the truth is, it's better we tell those coming the reality, to get a job here now ma war, so if you can face the struggle pls try n hold funds when coming and still have access to funds in. NIGERIA. I have been in GTA for 4 months on a student visa still never get a job. I have spent upto 3kcad and I don't even pay rent where I'm living. Thinktwicethinkcanada.

Mosunmolade:
Thank you for the update.
Does this applies to all provinces in Canada or just Toronto (I'm aware that houses are expensive in Toronto)
Please, I want to ask...are those online sites that post vacancies are not real?
It's really confusing, by checking indeed and LinkedIn there's are new posting almost every hour or so. Are the not real or they request for experience even when they boldly put it there that no experience needed.
Seriously, I'm not understanding

Which skills would you advice one to learn. Thanks

Focusmind:
The situation is becoming dire. Almost 830k international students will be out of status if urgent pathway is not created. Indian students have been protesting about their current situation, where most of them have ran out of status. My relative that got to Canada since July hasn't seen any job yet. Course work and assignments, coupled with Canadian lifestyle is taking a toll on her.

Ethanuella:
Hello guys, I’m in a dilemma

In May this year, I applied for a visit visa through an agent. I got to find out through my BIL that he used an address in Abuja, while I stay in Ibadan, and provided him with my real address in Ibadan during the application.

I have asked him to give me the login details so I can access the application, or better still, give me details regarding my application, he didn’t. Up till now, he says there’s no update on my application yet.

In September, I got admission and used the UCI in my BIL to start my study permit application, and this time, I used my real address in Ibadan. I submitted yesterday.

I’m scared this might be tagged misrepresentation, considering the fact that both applications are pending. I asked him to withdraw the visitors visa application but he is not cooperating.

kc6964:
Well , even people with large opening balances have been denied despite having good account statements for one year. The key factor is how well the person can justify the funds in their account. Even if they have a good opening balance and a substantial amount in their account for closing,if they can't explain the funds, it's likely considered insufficient. This applies to everyone. Also, have you ever come across a case where someone was denied due to a low opening balance? Probably note from GCMS NOTE stated

Adeiyanu3:
You can not be totally right bro.

Ones ability to explain ties and POF is the major thing, the major reason for the request of your personal account is to know if it is operational or not. I know of a primary applicant who has just #502k in his account while other monies is in the sponsor's account, and his VISA was approved.
You actually need a detailed SOP and God by your side.

Maturemindz:

Kaydelegend01:
Hello my people.

Please I got my ppr recently, my last baby and I.

Now I want to apply for my wife and 2 other kids.

Study permit for the kids and visiting or work visa for my spouse.

So I went to my account where I want to create a new application for these new family members.

Please look at the first page as attached, am I supposed to provide my information here or that of the applicants am bringing on board. Its very confusing.

nnemak:
Please I need suggestions or feedback on Expired medical (beyond 12 months),
My relatives did upfront medical and it took them a long time to finally receive their PPR.
Earlier, when the PPR was not forthcoming and it got to the last day of enrolment, they deferred their admission. Now that the initial upfront medical has expired.
Even though they have their counter foil, they have just gone for a fresh medical and don’t know what steps to take.
1. Will Airline allow them to travel?
2. How will IRCC know about the new medical status as they don’t have any open Visa applications?
3. How will they( applicant) know the outcome of the new medical?
4. How can they confirm if IRCC has even received or tracked that new medical?
5.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? how did you go about it Please

Linzo:

rob105:
I studied Physics in my Undergraduate, and I transited from that to PGD in Communication here in Nigeria as I am almost done with my PGD program with about one semester left with two more courses to write, so I am closer to an inch of applying for another PGD in Canada in the same Mass Communication as I have also told my Proffesor in the Department of Mass Communication to help with with a recommendation letter so that this can strengthen my application

I am intending to write in my SOP that I am currently undergoing PGD, could any one give me a reason I can attach on the reason why I want to repeat another PGD in Canada, even in same course of study.

The Gurus in the house, Please help me!

alphabbey1:
The main reason one left Nigeria is same reason one will not dream of coming back home ....

alphabbey1:
Lol, when you get to Canada, after a year, you will never dream of coming back home... ...
Don't be deceived by the terrible picture the person you quoted painted... There's Job for everyone, might take time, but you will definitely get a job and be able to afford a rent of your own.... Just as i said, the person you quoted is Just lying terribly...

And Relocation will 100% make your life better....

Some people will go to a new country with empty pocket expecting to see Job the very minute they land in that country, Lol

tajuowo:
if you are coming to thunder bay from Nigeria be aware. those stories of 'plenty jobs for international students' are lies.
you will spend a minimum of $800 - $1000 a month on a room (just a room). your tuition is minimum of $8600 per semester & for Masters students you pay every semester, there are no breaks in the year. this applies to most universities in Canada. also there are barely part time jobs for students, be ready to get money from back home every month. your sim card bill is min $50 per month (lowest offer so far). you will be bombarded with excess school work, thus be aware.
buy your winter jackets & boots before you arrive, its less expensive back home.
Nigerian students don't forget to buy international travel adaptor in Nigeria. over here its $35, in Nigeria you can get it for $5. certain android phones don't work with their sim cards over here. as i remember more tips i will post.

Greetings good people of Nairaland!

I am currently pursuing my studies in Canada, having commenced in the fall of 2023. It has been just under a month since I started my academic journey here. My study permit is valid for two years and includes a co-op program. During the application process, I found myself in a situation where I became pregnant, and it is almost 7 months old. The workload at school has become quite overwhelming, and I often find myself exhausted upon returning home from numerous classes and with so much assignments to deal with. Unfortunately, there is no available assistance for me.

Given these circumstances, I am interested in having my husband and our two-year-old daughter join me in Canada. I am seeking your advice on which type of visa would be the most suitable for them to apply for: a visitor visa or a Spouse Open Work Permit (SOWP)? While the SOWP option is a concrete plan, I want to explore all available options to ensure the best course of action for our situation.

I would greatly appreciate your insights and guidance on this matter. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Kenn55:
Hi all,
Someone asked me if he can land with an expired medicals. He was supposed to start in January but due to initial refusals and delay he deferred to September. Now, his medical expired early August and he just discovered it today with flight already scheduled for Sunday and school starting in next week.
I don't know the answer. Will there be an issue for him when he lands?

ab4m:
Hello room,

I am submitting application for student visa for my wife. As a dependant, I choose to apply for an open work permit.

From the document required, I was told to provide purpose of travel which includes a scanned copy of the flight ticket departing the can't travel itinerary and proof of medical. (See attached). Who has experience with what to provide here, please?

Secondly, on my imm1295e form, under detailed of intended work in Canada, I chose open work permit and I was asked for details of employer, address, date and title of employment.

What should I put here as no employment yet, just an open work permit?

Thanks for your time.

Hello house, pls I need advice on this issue.
I got an addition to University Canada West for April 2023, so I deferred the admission to September 2023 so I will have time to prepare for my self. I submitted my visa application on the 4th of July 2023, I received my PPR on 10th of August, and I submitted my passport to Vfs on the 14th Of August and got my passport back on 29 of August, I received letter of Introduction today. Now school are supposed to resume on the 25th of September, I have already book my flight ticket to 20 of September. But now school send a mail to me that they don’t have enough space for students for this September anymore that they will defer me to January intake. I replied the mail and said No that I don’t want to be deferred. They now said the only option I have is that I should be in Canada before 8th of September. I have to cancel my ticket and reschedule it to 5th of September. Student Advisor from the school now called me today that even if I come to Canada before 8th of September he not sure that they will be able to enroll me for September…. My question now is that even if I accept to be defer to January. Do I need to let IRCC no that I have been defer or is it Only new LOA from the School that I need.

kweje:
A friend is about to make a family application(student+spouse+child). The spouse has a good job in Nigeria with an Intl company, is SOWP advisable or he just apply as a Visitor and flagpole in Canada.

They are concerned if the VO wont question why he is leaving his good job for uncertainty with SOWP.

How does he defend his SOWP if they decide on that route?
Please your inputs. Many thanks
