Finally the long awaited PPR for my 2 kids.
First time applicant.
Study application and VV for my kids submitted: 29th Sept. 2023
Study PPR: 18th Oct. 2023 (PPR dropped 5hrs after my Biometrics)
Same day, they requested for consent letter and medicals for my kids (it was among the documents we uploaded) anyway, I attached the requested documents and sent them a mail (I mistakenly attached same child medical sheet twice, they responded immediately drawing my attention to my error and requested for the second child’s XXXX medical sheet which I resent.
Oct. 20th 2023, their portal changed to “medicals passed”
Now the long wait 🥹🥹, I sent a few mail but kept getting autogenerated responses. I had to defer from Jan to April intake.
March 18th 2024: PPR for both kids dropped at about 7:36pm😳😳😳
I have been a silent reader. Comments and testimonies from other members has helped to keep hopes alive.
For those still waiting, It will end in praise!

pweetyborlah95:
Please I need answers on school fees payment. Is it a must someone pay the 25% of the school fees before applying for visa? Is this a new law?

Eraytee:
please what about a scenario where you did upfront medical which has been passed and you now have eligibility in progress and background check in progress (in progress since submission).. is there any positivity to be deducted from this?

Cjnick:
Greetings.
IRCC requested for my medical on the 24th February. I uploaded it and today it shows updated (Medical exam passed).
Eligible and background check is still on process.
I’m worried and curious. Who has been in my shoes before?

AfroBeatDiary:

How do I get attestation letter from Seneca College?

knowyeknot:
Good morning, Pls can anyone help with information on how conestoga college is navigating the attestation letter issue,
I'm looking to apply for my study permit this month. Thanks

NowisGod109:
1. Applying for a study permit- can I apply together with my kids or I should get my own visa first and then later apply for them?

2. Where can I get cheaper health insurance plan to buy and how many months minimum should I get for the 3 of us?

Thanks everyone

shupy:
I just want to share the image below. Gone are the days when being an international student graduate almost certainly led to PR. Things have changed.

oppemipo:
Good evening @all,

Please I have some questions to ask regarding study permit application.

1. Do IRCC still have official rate for the proof of fund or what? I have checked their website and it is no longer there.

2. What is the current amount in CAD for the accompany spouse living expenses. Initially, it used to be $5,000 when the student living expenses was $10,000 and that of the children?

I will appreciate your contributions, please.

Thank you.

Hello Nairalanders,

I really need some clarifications.

My fiancé has a Master admission in Canada.
We were planning to get married in May this year so that he can file his application as a married man to make it easy for me to join him afterwards, but because of time, we decided to apply for his as “single” but will be married before he travels if his visa is approved.

Here is my question/confusion:
1). How easy will it be for me to join him? Will I need to stay up to a year or more before joining him?

2). After the marriage in May, will it be easier or faster if we submit the marriage documents to the embassy as a separate application document as prove that we are now married before he travels? (Note: Visa is approved as Single)

What step would you advise we take in order for us to be in Canada together as soon as possible?

I await your kind response.

kamaladejoke:
Please your answer to 3/4 does that means you can’t travel again with your spouse and what visa can your spouse come with. Because I am applying for msc and I plan to go with my husband and my little less than a year baby. So they can’t travel with me. Is that what you mean

Mrobiwills:
Does this SOWP rule affect those whose application has already been approved by IRCC..i ask because my SOWP application was approved together with my spouse's SP..but my passport is yet to be stamped.

SonofElElyonRet:
Replace iwobi

nnamdi346:
For those currently residing in Canada, I'm curious to hear about your experiences. Please share your thoughts.

Dinma540:
Please house, for a refusal that states that you did not demonstrate that that your spouse is a full time student in a qualified program in a DLI school. Please I want to ask if IRCC have implemented the law because the spouse school fees, enrollment, study permit where all included and the school is a DLI but is a 4Years degree programme. Please I need help on what to do. Is there any other way around this to explain to IRCC or is uit just to reapply again.

JapaPrince:
I made a post where I listed my expenses and some self ancclaimed experts were so busy criticizing me for over spending.
This is the new reality according to IRCC you need up to $1900 monthly as living expenses.
We will survive. Good luck to all of us.

Tolifefun:
please copy and paste

Tolifefun:
Abeg stop misleading people. Try understand simple English. The news was disseminated on 22nd of January. It does not affect current applications until 31st March, 2024

Tolifefun:
i disagree with you. The news was on 22nd of January. Provinces and territories are expected to establish a process for issuing attestation letters to students by no later than March 31, 2024

Zino89:
Please I submitted my application 15th January
I I did biometric on 23rd January will this new rule affect my application?

SIXFEETUNDER:
Dont come to Canada

It's a shit hole here

Shukusheka:
What will happen to the SOWP of spouses for students with study permit of just one year who are aiming to renew their study permit for an additional year? Meaning, if the SOWP ban takes effect before your study permit expires, how does the spouse request for a new SOWP especially as SOWP can not be renewed.

Any solution please?

Shukusheka:
Please what is current mininum proof of fund required for Spousal Open Work Permit in Canada? As at two years ago it was $5k but I am not sure what the current amount is.

Please help.

damrmd02:
Please good people on this forum,I need more enlightenment about this.

I have gotten my visa for college in January,but my resumption is September,do you think If I come in before September I won't be affected with this new law of no spouse for college students because I haven't apply for them? Pls I need advice.

OralBoy:
[This is the grimmest picture I have ever seen anybody paint of any country abroad let alone Canada. I know things are bad but are they that bad? Is it possible that maybe your location (Toronto) is faring worse than other places?

I am going to London and my friend who moved there last month got a job at a coffee shop the following week. It's a fair start for someone who is a student and has little Canadian experience. I don't know about life after graduation, that's an entirely different kettle of fish but I do know that Nigeria in its current state is not an option for me. I would sooner move to Botswana than remain here.

You know what they say about someone who has nothing to lose?

sinorte:
Please be guided if you plan to submit your study permit application between now and March 31. IRCC has introduced some changes regarding studying in Canada.

I am warning you guys it doesn’t worth to to come to canada anymore if you are not coming with PR ( express entry) studying here doesn’t worth it except you are rich and ready to cough out 40 plus to canada government.

If you are rich and your intentions is to stay back here in canada I advise you to apply for health course and tech course only and not all tech and health course qualifies for category draws. Most provinces only sending out nominations to majority of people who did health and tech courses.

A lot of graduates are leaving canada now they post graduate work permit has expired and no renewals. Some are in the pool but never got nominated except few who got PNP . The General draw score stood at 500 to 541 plus which is impossible to meet even with work experience in canada and completion of studies.

Plan you journey if you intend to stay before you waste your money , research on other countries

dayjeee:
This new restriction, does it apply to post graduate diploma and cert? Cos some people are saying it's only masters and PhD that are excluded

Kokumajutsu:
Hello everyone, I am new here.
I am just trying to get my documents to submit alongs side my SOP.
Currently I have references letter from my work place and my pay slip for 4momths. Tho I don't have more than 2m in my account and my sister is my sponsor has a good deal in her account.
But the issue now is I don't have any property in my name. Though my father is a senior civil servant and he has a house in his name.

Can anyone advise how I can use that to my advantage to show ties asides my job. Thank you

charlesoz19:
your view is wrong. I'm telling you from experience that she can switch careers 10 thousand times as long as she has a legitimate reason to do so. I was refused 3 times before getting an approval. you can check my timeline. Please understand also that each application is treated on n merit not due to previous reasons. I have talked to people here who did not apply for anything related to what they study and they are here studying. You can decide to switch career because you feel the Job you doing now is worth improving through education. you can switch careers and then return to your previous career because you feel you have to return to your previous passion and build it again. we all have different reasons for career switch. Just present it in a way that reveals your true intention. The VO always use the word convenience because what you want is possible but he just doesn't believe it's your true intention. So convenience him and you will get it. Nigeria's education cant be compared to Canada education at the same time you can't present Nigeria's education as cabbage, you just say why you see the need to study in a developed nation where education is a top priority. Do your research and you will understand my view.
