Do you mean study permit for the primary applicant? Or study permit for kids?

For the primary applicant.

-Travelled to Dubai on 4th of April 2022 for vacation (my wife came from Canada to meet me there in Dubai) and I returned to Nigeria on 22nd of April and on 1st of May I sent my new travel record via email to kenya, London and lagos IRCC offices with pictures with my wife.I also submitted it as webform. approval was received today, May 5th- 72days!!!. Pure miracle


I should add that I requested for reconsideration of his visitor's visa that was refused in December and I did not hear from them until today, they sent a second rejection for the visit visa followed by an approval for the open work permit

I am very excited! I wish everyone waiting - favour!

Get a high paying fG job if you can.

Your chances of getting a job after your MSc in Canada is slim. Abi na G or drugs you wan go tidy? Canada is NO NO for street!

Good luck mate!

Lol he would surely get a job in canada as long as he did his master here. The major thing is, are you coming as a self-sponsored or scholarship? if its the later well you can come but if its self funding stay put for your high paying job.

Good evening fam. I believe everyone’s doing okay. Please I’m caught in a dilemma. I have up to 5m and i have two options.
1. Get a high paying fed job
2. Go for msc programme in canada.
I believe everyone’s mature enough here to share their candid opinion.
I’ll be reading the comments. Thank you!

Bro let me be sincere with you. Choose the high paying job if your msc is not scholarship based. After two or three years you can apply for canada PR.

There is no clear cut procedure they use. The decision is always based on individual VO's frame of mind. Somebody wrote that she invited her sister and the sister did not submit a bank statement and got approved with virtually no travel history. Whereas I have seen somebody with travel history to UK and Germany who was invited by a Canadian citizen brother, but got refused.


No standard at all.

This IRCC are very discriminatory, I just saw on FB now that they approved an Indian that the spouse has even completed the program. I just wonder why they can't just come out bold that we don't want blacks and we all know where to put our energy.

It's just painful that our govts are making us go through all these. If they have utilized our resources well all these things won't happen. But what can we do in light of this current reality? just pained and frustrated.

Hello can you please shed more light on how to apply with family as I have tried sending you a message from naira land in your mail. And if I’m applying from the UK as a Nigerian will I need to apply with agent in Nigeria or UK

No apply from Uk and use UK agent because that is where you would apply for your visa.

Go ahead and apply with your family and don't let anyone talk you out of it. Show that you have enough funds to cover you all, Show your home ties. Just package your application well, no loose ends and you will all get it that's fact. Also, upfront Medicals for you all is necessary. All the best.





Seconded Please. Canada has messed me up seriously. Currently not enjoying the whole vibes of PhD at all.

I've seen it already. I've been in contact with people in Australia, and they keep telling me that studying in regional areas like Darwin (Northern Territory), Adelaide (South), Perth (West) and Tasmania are the viable places for 3yrs post graduate work permit and easier pathways to PR compared to other states and territories in Australia. How true?

What about Griffith?

To the VOs the reasons are tangible becos since u have an sowp application on anyone on VV might not want to leave and with this flagpolling of a thing then u stay as long as possible till u become PR although ur stay with the collected work permit through flagpolling also depends on the visa of the spouse so to say. So dey just reject or approve by considering the SOWP immediately. I have only seen an exception of someone on this trend that got both approved

But why are Indians getting it?

Hello,. please don't loose hope. Hang in there
Order your GCms notes to see any update on the SOWP. I am also doing PhD and it is frustrating to leave my kids behind as a mother. Only for our VV application to be rejected because of ties to Canada. Get your gcms notes and see the state of your application. You can also call the MP of your area.

Thanks JJ. My MP is currently useless. Well I contacted them in November and said I should contact by May. I meet him in the mosque last Friday and told him my frustration but he's using political sense for me. I told him I will contact by May and I will also walk down to the office because I did last 2 weeks before we got rejected to shout for them when they ask me to contact them by July for the second VV. But the main thing is they don't care.

I got my GCMS for the first one but still waiting for the second.

So for the first application we had a total of 10k cad from all sources in our account with me as the sponsor.

For the second app, we got 16k in our account with me as the major sponsor. We show employment letter as a quality control scientist in a bottling company.

I attached our rejection and GCMS:

1st pics-first rejection Dec 07
2nd pic -GCMS to the first rejection. I did a rebutter for this in addition to the SOP from both of us. I argued that traveling is based on necessity and my spouse never need to travel since we are young graduates and she couldn't join . Also, in the rebbuter I argued that we are young and don't have property aside from the land we inherited from her mom as the firstborn (Name not changed yet).The last one I changed the duration to 10days to help with my PhD qualifying exam.

3rd pics- 2nd rejection April 20th.

Currently at a point of dropping this PhD in Canada. Applied for SOWP since Oct nothing nothing. Applied for VV twice they got rejected. Really tired and seems Canada is trying to frustrate young married people from Nigeria.

Tired of Canada its been 6 months now and nothing nothing. Really finding it hard to concentrate on this Ph.D. stuff. Getting so sad .

Please if you're coming to Canada don't let anybody advise you to drop your family in Nigeria and come here first. Apply together if they reject apply again.
