Luada:
Hey have a question. If am in canada for a 4 month course and get admitted 4 a 4yr course can i extend my permit to 4yrs

You can extend your permit in canada if you are issued study permit to study in Canada and applying 30 days before expiry of permit!

wole24:
Good afternoon family!
Please I want to ask, for someone that got one year course admission and got a Visa for the one year course. Can the husband and 3kids go with her as dependants? Considering the fact that the VO might be thinking, why coming with your husband and 3kids for just one year course. Please how do one jump pass this hurdle PLEASE HELP

She can bring dependents on one year course ..for the applicants VO will consider strong ties to country of origin :source of funds /employment and assets! Including purpose of visit for the spouse!

macsilver:
Your wife’s friend is right but you need to weigh your options. Being that she has only OND, she may have little limitations in terms of schools and all, but I understand you guys may not generate much income if she is the dependent. You have an upper hand with the degree you have, and you could apply for a 2 year pgde or graduate cert. course in your discipline (cheaper), and she would be the dependent, if she can work sha. If you eventually find a school that takes only OND (I’m assuming you’re not going through an agent), then by all means, apply and be the dependent. Just make sure you are applying for a post graduate course because if you apply for an undergraduate course, she would not be able to go with any dependent.


The study gap is not an issue per se. It can be written for you. Not even a big deal. Your SOP would also help back it up.


To answer your last question, you have enough home ties.



Please note that I am an agent, and this advice is coming from the experience I have, having secured admission for hundreds of applicants. Good luck.

The bolded is not true...from my own personal experience..with the following reasons: I am currently on open work permit in canada while wife is studying undergraduate program in canada i have Bsc already..

Tolifefun:
how do you want to remain in Canada on a zero Status? How do you want to work without work Permit?

I should be asking you the above questions!
Your post is misinformed!

Tolifefun:
not underground employment. Visitors are allowed to work with visitor visa till 2025.

May be you should post link/url here.
There is no policy that allowes visitors without work permit to obtain SIN/Social insurance number in canada and no employer will employ without SIN and are not allowed to work without SIN even on work permit, the information i can see is visitors allowed to apply for work permit in canada extended for 2 years. That is till 2025.

Tolifefun:
with this post,I doubt you are in Canada . Who says you can't work with Visitor Visa ? Nothing like your visa does not permit. Let us know exactly what you are seeking advise on

The bolded sounds like underground employment!

Exline101:
Greetings my good people ,
I came into Canada today and Canadian immigration gave me 1 year 3 months study permit while my course is 1 year and 8 months approximately 2 years , when I queried one said that it can be extended that I will have to call IRCC. Though the workload on them this morning was heavy , lots of student came in today …. My people , I hope this won’t affect my 3years PGWP ??

Seems like you deferred the admission after visa approval...
The immigration officer should have told you that..you should have at least 30 days before expiry to extend your study permit in canada..

IRCCboy:
Thanks a lot for your kind response.

What if I travel a week before the expiration of the medical, will I have issues at the border?

No problem ..but this your username IRCCboy sef registered February 19 2023.. you asking how to travel without visa approved notification and medical expiring! Issues at border..the thing is somehow ..don't you think

IRCCboy:
Dear all,
I'm supposed to resume in Sept 2023, my medical will expire on July 28th 2023, if I enter Canada on the 14th of August 2023, will I have any issues at the POE?

Please, when is the earliest time to enter Canada without any issues at the port of entry?

Abeg make una respond.

Thank you.

I travelled to canada with expired medical examination, infact medical expired prior to issue of LOI after a long wait of approval 12 to 13 months i must say is a sheer luck....do another medical while you can don't try this at home kind of Advice.

Amosey:
Hi everyone!
I’m confused about if I should inform IRCC about my new LOA.

I already have my passport stamped for fall 2022 but my ppr came after the semester has already started so I deferred my admission to Spring 2023 (May) because there was no seat available for Winter intake at the time of my deferral.

My questions are:
1. Do I have to inform IRCC about it. (Note that my application has been processed and a decision has been made)
2. Will Study Permit be issued based on validity of LOI or based on the date on my new LOA at Port of Entry.

@makano
@johnstan
@frankrobin
@anon123
@bullstriker
@Ketima

2. You will probably need extension in the future or later for the intended program or to complete the program,your study permit won't go beyond the date stated on the validity of letter of introduction. Permit is issued and valid from and on the date you arrived in canada.whatever step you take next.. Take your previous LOA and new Loa with you to canada, you will need to explain the situations above to the POE officer. In the case if asked to explain..

ChubaKC:

Family of 6 (primary applicant inclusive)

Reason:
Primary applicant- financial capacity and assets
Other family members- financial capacity and purpose of visit

School admission hint:
Admission- Jan 5 (now deferred to Sep 5 but not yet updated to IRCC)
Tuition per year - 8874cad (now 9300cad)
No tuition deposit required
GRA appointment offer: 2000cad minimum monthly

Applications:
Primary Applicant: Study permit (PhD 4-6yrs program)
Other 5 family members: Visitors visa

Few Doc submitted due to size:

Primary applicant;
-GRA offer letter stating min 2k cad monthly

Please I need to resubmit these applications as soon as possible.
I need advice on what to do differently pls.

@bullstriker and other gurus in the platform I need your support pls

See attached

It is obvious that you have insufficient funds. That is 10.5 m +2.5m
Maintenance/living expenses per year for 5 family member is: spouse:4000 +other:3000+3000+3000+3000=16000 cad per year + student=26000 cad per year equivalent of 8,88,4025 naira

The reality is that, the minimum funds per year for maintenance stated by IRCC is just minimum funds as it is ..when you arrive in canada you will spend more than that on living expenses alone. Including flight ticket for family of 6 with provided bank balance of 10.5m +2.5m...with this also spouse applied for visitor visa instead of open work permit.

4 to 6yrs PHD @ 9300 cad per year equivalent of 3,177,233 per year,Ircc will expect you to have more funds in bank balance other than previous bank balance provided and source of funds to support you in next 4 to 6 year..that is tuitions,3,177,233 naira +maintenance 8,884,025 naira per year

AbionaT:
Good day my people

Please I was refused for purpose of visit.

I want to change my course now.

Please can you suggest a course that will show progression.

I work in a TV station, I am a producer of program, I am an editor of the program too, I am a transmission director, I direct live and recorded program.

Please suggest a course I can apply for.

I studied Business Administration in my first and second degree.

Thank you so much

A graduate study in journalism and media production, Any program related to this will help...

Are your company aware of your visit and your program of study, can they employ you, after the program ends .if possible let them confirm this in writing.
Include reasons in SOP, why do you want to pursue this program in canada,let the VO understand the skills that will be obtained from the program, how the skills obtained from the program will beneficial to you the company and your Country of origin.

kingpinjay:
Can I ask if there will be queries at the airport if a student arrives a week after school start date?

If you must arrive a week after school start date, I suggest you should observe the last date or deadline to register for courses ,is upto 2weeks from term start date for some schools/ University it may be stated on the letter of acceptance,if that date has elapsed you may have issues with the school,and this can be your only defence if the immigration officer queries your arrival. In that case you may say that course registration is still ongoing stating the last date for registration of courses. Though this is just a suggestion .

Fredba:
Got refused today after all the waiting..

Home ties
I'm devastated

That is purpose of visit refusal not Home ties

Helenabuddafly:
Hey guys, I got my BVL on 23rd November. No other response since then. I've sent web forms and emails to all their offices. nothing still. I have just completed my first term online. Second term starts January 9 with to option for online study and I have to pay the fees for second term. I can't make any moves without getting my final decision. I applied on August 29th. Medicals passed and eligibility started on Nov 17. It's just upsetting and exhausting waiting and checking everyday! reading this forum always helps so I thought to share, is there anything else i can do?. Thanks everyone.

Nothing else you can do than wait after sending webform to Nairobi
Quote the date you received the BVl and that you have not received further correspondence since then ...state your next semester start date and request for final decision on the application and
That you have enclosed your biometric validity letter. BVL

Upload your BVl through the webform

johnstan:

Teejackz11009:
Please guys I will like to ask, when trying to register for your company CAC is it also mandatory to apply for Tax clearance certificate?And how is tax paid to FIRS? Are we to pay tax to the FIRS account on every goods you purchase? Or is the receipt you collect from where you bought your goods enough to show as evidence?
Am asking this so as to keep the CAC account Actice incase the embassy wants to verify

not needed to pay tax while registering company with CAC
For you to pay tax to FIRS you need to register for (TIN) Tax identification number of your company with FIRS
Filling of annual return each year to CAC is what is needed to keep your business active with CAC

sammyfrance23:
Good day gurus,
I’m traveling soon, do I need to fill ArriveCAN?

No you don't need to fill ArriveCan anymore but you need proof of COVID 19 vaccine @ Nigeria international airport/lagos

KimberleyNl:
Good day everyone, I need advice concerning POF please. I have a balance of 11m in my account and I am going for a 2 year course. My Tuition is 17075, and I paid 2500 cad, though my school doesn't require Tuition deposit. Obviously my 11m is not enough for 2 years, I want to ask if my 2 brothers can sponsor me for the second year, or I self sponsored myself and explain how I will pay for the second year fees.
Please kindly respond

It is reasonable to sponsor yourself add your brother as backup he can be the 2nd financial sponsor stating the amount of funds they will be providing that is the remaining tuition fees + maintenance (10000 cad$) per yr to support the application provide inflow and outflow of cash and source of funds! But not bank statements that appears like funds parking! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funds_parking

I don’t think any1 can be stranded in Canada ..once u are able to pay first year Tuition u will be able to pay d subsequent ones with ease and still hv savings sef .. make I burst ur brain , small 19yrs old boy got Prince Edward uni bsc admission in 2014, him pman say na jus 1st ur tuition he go pay mk d guy fix himsef wen he gets there . D small boy enta n never disturbed him pman after d first yr .he even con dey make money pass me wey be him street broda sef ..lol… he passed his 1st yr exam very well and got 50% off his 2nd yr tuition. The prob of Canada na d visa , once u get d visa u go dey alright

I hope you know that ........
1 Canadian dollar is equal to 150 naira in 2014 compared 2022 @ current cbn rate 330 .
While there has been increase in tuition fees in Canadian public schools since 2014 and also he got 50% off for 2nd year on cheaper tuition fee in 2014 compared to 2022 tuition fees there is marginal difference..even scarcity of foreign currency at official rate to pay first year school is also a challenge at least you can do the math from here...

skull4eva:
This is why i am worried. I have some gunding and I am still a student till april next year. My wife and kids just joinned me three months ago. Although i am working part time in a good food industry. But wont they feel the financial load will be much. I know to some extent how study permit works but need advice on this

It is obvious that Your current immigration and financial status can't sponsor her..
And applicant having family tie in Canada who is a Temporary residence_Applicant will also require strong tie in country of origin to overcome tie in Canada.

Papapa1234:
You mean I should attach the already filled forms when raising a webform?

Yes

Papapa1234:
Ok my spouse has filled and sent via webform

Can I start using the representative privilege immediately or I need to wait for Ircc to acknowledge the representative form?

Thanks so much

You can't make use of representative unless ircc process it, you can attach use of representative to the webform and refer to it, in that case ircc will attend to your enquiry then acknowledge the use of representative!
