Where this one from comeout again?
It's better you just keep shut than this response.
Some people just think they can tell adults how to live their lives.

Bede2u:
ur elder sister in canada is telling u dont come to canada...wat are u asking us again? Who knows both u and canada better than her?

U are earning 500k in a sure job....wat do u think abroad is? A place where bad thing never happen? Where no one can die by mistake? Where money is picked on the road? Bruh

Let me ask u. Lets say dangote ran away to u.k like his mates were doing in the 70s instead of joining the hustle in lagos...do u think he would be better off now?

We all need to change how we view the world. Its not easy anywhere. Nigeria may not be great but many nigerians who traveled abroad became stranded and had to come back with nothing

I don't think its appropriate sending a mail about an application if it hasn't exceeded the processing time.

You need a visa to go through the US.
There are no direct flights from Nigeria to Canada, I don't know about Accra.
Why not try the European(Klm,Lufthansa,Airfrance etc)
or Eastern Airlines(Etihad,Qatar etc) . Most of them(Asian airlines) don't go through America enroute to the Canada.

However, when using any airline, be careful of having 2 stops in Europe (for example Lagos to London to Dublin to Canada); if you are passing through 2 European countries enroute anywhere you will need a visa for the second coutry.

bigtt76:
Hi @Justwise ...please do one require a US transit visa to fly to Canada as a student? OR please airline can one select for a direct flight from say Accra to Canada or Lagos to Canada? Response much appreciated.

I guess you should do an email if it has exceeded the average processing time.

Good evening house, I’ve submitted my application since 30th of May and I haven’t heard anything from our Nairobi guys just wanna know if I have to be worried about anything, cause I havent been called for medical yet or should I just send them mail requesting for what’s going on? Please I kindly need advise here cause school is resuming mid next month.

Sorry about the refusal. Better luck next time.

jessyeve:
Updates has been raining, mostly refusal that's y u don't gt to hear, it's not good thing to announce , I'm June 7, also got a refusal, I'm suspecting they got limit they want to admit, they no smile to college applicant at all this fall but all the best.

So Sorry if you have been hurt by anyone here.
Truth, is no matter how you judge a matter, most times ALL parties involved what have some element of blame or guilt to share.

So let's forget about who's wrong or right.

Also, in as much you like being straight , be mindful of your language or your intentions being misinterpreted.
Not just here but in life generally.
Relationships are extremely important.

Perhaps, your communication pattern or language betrays you; maybe people erroneously misinterpret your point because they don't understand you.

We need to be mindful of the perception we are giving out, perception is often times more powerful than reality.

Just move on, forget whatever has happened.

Let others do same. There's no one above mistakes.
No one is perfect.

We should all learn to tolerate our excesses.
If a comment is hurtful, call the person out politely or better still move. We are already here for a purpose, let's not loose focus majoring on minors

jessyeve:
Answer to your Last question is called bullying, you are trying to correct someone yet acting worse than the person, that's y I don't budge with the attacks, I will be my straightforward self because the last thing I will do is to reduce myself to name calling, faceless or not, I'm only blunt but intentionally being disrespectful? count me out, I most certainly find name calling distasteful, it's for illiterates that can't gt their points across therefore resort to abuses, let's try to differentiate ourselves from illiterates at all times please especially on educational platform like this, it speaks class, Dalu nu .

� I think they will review that policy soon, before the end of next year perhaps. The murmurs are already there.

They traditionally come out with revised immigration policies around April each year;if I'm not mistaken.

The Brexit (the need to build alliances with other nations outside the EU) -especially if it turns out a hard Brexit, is another major reason that will necessitate the review.

But, don't bet on that happening, go with what you are certain about.

Hope is not a strategy ; never bet on hope. Fly with Canada,if you have the means.

waynee2baba:
If these UK guys don't make their immigration laws favourable to international students, by 2021, na only Justwise go dey active for that UK tier 4 visa thread lmao

I think my class was the past batch that got a 2years PSW permit in the UK, that was circa 2011.

Truth is, since then the number of people especially from Africa going to the UK has REDUCED.

it isn't even about wanting to stay there forever, people also want to gain some international work experience before going back to their homeland, so the lack of a straight PSW permit is a huge disincentive for a lot of people.

That 3 months they give now, is nothing and very inadequate to secure a good employment that would help you change your status there.

Truth is, there's really nothing in the UK, the jobs aren't there compared to places like Canada or the UK or Australia or even Germany. Getting a decent job in the UK isn't easy-it takes time and processes.

If I know what I know now(no regrets anyway) , I would have gone for my Undergraduate in Canada then, rather than the UK.
I had the option of Canada and the UK . Canada was taking to long, so I opted for the Uk.

UK still has the fastest and most straight forward Uni admission process. You can get 5 offers letters a week from UK universities in a week.

mcobex:
Justwise refused to highlight that part. One of the reasons people go to UK for undergraduate degree is mainly because they can hardly get schools in other parts of Europe whose language of instruction is English language. Though most of them have realized that now and have started running English sessions for international students, once they all do that I bet UK won't get to see international students (except those ministers children). Though their education standard is high but same goes to some other countries in Europe who need only time to make their mark

Cool down nau.
Those issues are gone, forget about it.
Let the past remain, in the past.
No need bringing up old issues.
No one is perfect,.

ralfudoh:
With all your gra gra and attacking, CIC can humble you like this. So with all your guru advice. No be by fight my dear. We are all hear to learn. Not to fight each other. Trust me, if u can keep your head calm, take advises from the gurus, repackage, u will land your visa on the second attempt without having to fight everyone. Best of luck.

Most Unis/Colleges will give you{Nigerian} an IELTS /English test exemption.

ensamy:
Enquiry; hello please I want to know if any University in Canada gives IELTS waiver for Nigerian applicants. Your information will be appreciated. God bless.

To make it easier, tell your bank to give you a print out from their system showing the transaction was completed from their own end.

If the transaction was completed like they said, then they should be able to generate a proof of payment/transaction receipt.

Attach the document from the bank and send to the Uni.

It's possible the amount left your account but didn't get into the school's account for whatever reason, with your print out from the bank then you can go to bed and give them time to reconcile the payment.

JudithPeter:
Pls everyone I require your help.
I paid my application fees for memorial University of Newfoundland using my masters card through the university website.
After 2 unsuccessful trials I noticed that the money had already been deducted from my account but I noticed that my payment didn't reflect on my profile and I also didn't receive a notification from the school stating that my payment was successful.
I went to my bank and was told that the payment went through.
It's almost a week and still nothing from the school
I'm also aware that memorial doesn't reply mails and will appreciate any suggestions from this forum on what to do.
Attached is a debit alert showing i made the payment.

Please, is this swap offer still open? I'm interested
I wouldn't mind the 23rd of July Date pls. Got a mail from IOM for the 5th of August for my wife but I don't think my schedule will allow her go that day pls.

mzjokky16:
i can swap medical date with u, i scheduled my medicals with iom on tues 23 of july but i havent get medical request yet, so if u are still interested, signify

Good evening House, Please when filling out an online application, if you dont have "Upfront medicals' available yet i.e. you have not done upfront medicals should the "medical tab" be one of the tabs listed by IRCC for documents to upload?

Please , I need clarification, I already put in an application and have not done upfront medicals yet, but it has a tab for "medicals', does that mean I did something wrong ? Please respond

gatsbym4:


Hi
It can only have a medical tab if you selected that you have done upfront medical.

If you have a new passport ready at the point of PPR, then send in the Old and New Passport.
Most countries wouldn't even affix a visa on a passport that has less than a 6 months validity.
The new passport would have the old passport's number stated in it also. Hence it shouldn't be an issue.

hiambenson:
Good day to all the knowledgeable persons who are making out time to share their knowledge with newbies and applicants in quest for Canadian study permit.

I'm very optimistic about my reapplication for Sept 2019 because I tackled the VO's concern but I have a little challenge, fam.

My passport will expire by Jan 2020 and I'm wondering if I should send a new passport alongside my old passport that I used for reapplication once PPR drops because my intent is to travel by Jan 2020??

I'm asking because student visa can't be valid for more than the stipulated expiration date on a passport.

Hope to hear from everyone who have a first-hand knowledge on this.

Cc Frankrobbn1, makano, TheAfrikan, guzenaira, Mudicua and everyone that I sincerely can't remember their usernames.

Ok. Glad to hear that, was it quicker?
How many weeks in total did it take before you got an approval please?

guzenaira:


I had a TRV (visit) before I applied for studies and @omonoba1981 had the same experience.

Yes, thought same thing too, applying from there may seem too desperate. I'm back already, secured the admission, even paid 50% of the fees . Thanks

Jephehe:
[/b]This is A Smart Thinker

[b][b][/b]

OK. Thanks but You can actually apply from within Canada so long you have a TRV, I inquired about that already.

I have my biometric done already and they confirmed that immediately I put in the application.

I just wanted to know if the processing time is shorter since there is already a TRV

mcobex:
He can't apply from Canada with a visiting visa. He shouldn't waste his time, even if he applies online he will have to go back to Nigeria for biometric and also submission of passport (if CIC request for it). Let's stop giving the wrong advise please

Ok. Thanks. The admission is already secured and I have even paid 50% of the fees
Already visited Canada and back. Went with my family , had to come back to Nigeria, couldn't spend much time because of work.

Someone advised I should put in the application from Nigeria, so that was what I did.

The
[Qquote author=oriazowan post=79694685]My candid advise is for you to enter Canada with the visitor visa and while you are here, gain admission and apply for study permit.
PS: both study permit and visitor visa are referred to TRV (Temporary Residents Visa)
[/quote]

OK, thanks a lot. Back to Nigeria now, spent just 3 weeks there.

The application was submitted online from Nigeria.

guzenaira:


@Mudicua is very correct.

Although you can apply from Nigeria inside Canada ‘if’ you have a valid medical result done in Nigeria, Biometrics running for 10years and haven’t stayed or currently staying in Canada for Less than 6months. So everything will be fine but bear in mind that background check will be done.

I understand how you feel, the best is for you to go back to Nigeria.

Amahjosh:
Please i don't understand your question. What kind of TRV do you have

A normal Canadian TRV (Visitor Visa)

Morning House, Please I already have a valid Canadian TRV(Visitor Visa) and intend to apply for a Study Permit,
Please anyone here that has done(applied after a TRV) that or in the process right now?
Also, I think that should make the process faster and easier .

Maggiespecial:


Thank you so much
Please i sent you a mail
Kindly check it

Thank you

OK. Not a problem .

I don't understand how the Nairaland mail system works, but I just responded to a mail I got from Nairaland mentioning you.

Please Check your email if you got any mail from me.

Bimsebony:


Congratulations Bro

Please how many years visa did you get.

My Passport expires in 2021, so the TRV is valid till a day before my passport expiration- so the Visa is for roughly 2years

My Wife just renewed her passport in December 2018, so she got a 4 years visa- valid TRV till 2023.

Lessonnn:

Pls how old on the passport your applied with

I am 35 years old.

Maggiespecial:


Congratulations Pls what are the documents you submitted during the application (TRV)?? How many of you are traveling?? I mean is it only you or together with your family?? Kindly state it here pls for the benefits of other people

Minimum 5 working days, not 3 days. Your Passport would likely not even leave VFS for the Visa Office till the next day

yimiton:
No, you're not doing anything wrong.

There's a new request under work history. Fill out the survey and check again. The points whould be automatically updated.

Ok. Thanks. I just filled out the survey, I will await the uodate. Thanks

Hello Peeps, Pls I have a sibling in Canada and I filled that out when creating my profile. However, my CRS score has not been updated with additional 15 points by IRCC to reflect that. Is there something I am not doing?

Na wa for WES o. I requested for my ACCA and Degree to be assessed/evaluated, I sent in copies of both degrees . However, WES sent in my report today with just my Degree assessed 3 days after recieving my Transcript from my UNI, no mention of the ACCA- they completely left it out. I should not have used WES. Corresponding with them is even an issue.
