Please to gurus in the house

I'm about applying for my study visa for fall 2021, through general route but I'm planning to submit my IELTS score (6.0 overall band). I'm not going through NSE due to the 30kCAD.

Is it advisable to submit my IELTS score upfront?
Is it also advisable to submit my MBS and medical report upfront?

IF I submit all the necessary documents upfront, how will it affect my application?

MBS and IELTS are the requirement of NSE. 30k CAD is just an estimated cost. You must be able to show 1 year tution fee + living expenses preferably above 10k CAD. It's advisable to submit everything including upfront medicals when applying. It might not necessarily expedite the application process but helps in avoiding unnecessary delay in the process.

There is a family member representative form. I'm the one doing practically everything and the visas are being submitted via my account. Do I get my mum to sign under this form appointing me as the representative?

Then for all these forms they gave me to fill, Adobe is saying I can't save changes to some. Does that mean I have to print, fill and then scan them? For the signatures as well, do I need to print and sign then scan?

I don't know about who is to sign but you don't need to print anything. You require Adobe version 10 to fill those forms. If you've downloaded the forms, you open with Adobe 10. For signature, all you need to input is a name. Since 17 is considered a minor, I will suggest you input your mother's name as the signature.
NB: I see Frankrobbn1 has done a follow-up to your enquiry. Go with his advice regarding the signature

Thanks Bro, the second option is actually College Diploma not PGD.

Well, progression is very important. I wouldn't advice going for a y program lower than bsc

Please help a Brother !

I'm working towards STUDY PATH to immigration: I had previous education in Chemical Engineering, BUT all my work experience 5+yrs has been in Electrical Engineering (Automation and Control) with numerious Training here and abroad.

In your opinion which of the following options will have a higher chance of Study Permit approval:

1. Masters in Chemical Engineering (which match my academic background only but not match with my work experience)?
2. Diploma in Electrical Engineering Technology 2yr Program (which matches with my work experience but is low level certificate)?

Your inputs will be highly appreciated
Thanks in advance !

If 2 is a post graduate diploma you can go for it. Whichever you choose, you must be able to convince the application officer the program will be beneficial to your career on your return to Nigeria.

Hello guys I have been hearing past applicant say they got a medical request mail from ircc before they went to either iom or qlife clinic .
But my question is this . I did my biometrics abt 2 weeks ago and my portal status is still same as it was "submitted" up till now. But it shows biometrics has been completed ..

Can I do an upfront medical since I haven't gotten any mail from.them yet ...
Anyone who has passed that stage .Did U gt any mail from ircc before booking an appointment at those clinics

You don't have to wait till it's requested. It's better to do upfront medicals in order to avoid unnecessary delay with the application process. You'll be provided with a sheet to upload to your application at the medical center.

Mayniaa:
The guy just wants to sponsor me out of this place, you know make I live for a better place.
What do you mean I should show proof of relationship? In what context I mean? We are friends.
For that financial commitment I think he is, and he is very Capable

if he's truly committed to sponsoring you, let him pay your tuition fee, and living expenses. Enrol to the GIC investment program. You would still have to meet every other requirement like everybody else. GIC goes a long away in proving you have genuine access to funds. If he's willing to make such commitment, then you know he's serious about truly sponsoring you.

JDforeal:
Good day
My brother is my sponsor
Bu it he’ll be sending 8million to my account for first semester fee and LE from the 10.2million he has in his account

My question is
Do I submit mybankstatement for both my account and my sponsors account?
Thanks

I'm no expert. However, It's important your sponsor(brother) show sufficient amount in his account, you on the other hand don't necessarily have to submit your statement of account. How old are you?

Mobil567:
Pls where you charged application fee when you applied?

Centennial College doesn't require application fee

This study path look tedious for those in 30s or 40s

How possible to get study permit with above age. I want to go for post graduate program (college). I work, have company, have 10million, sponsor, have lands etc

My problem is just my age, has anyone gotten study permit with above age, I'm in late 30s?

Your profile seems promising. The process is tedious for every age as long as the applicant is from a developing country like Nigeria. You just have to work on your SOP. You'll need to answer questions such as;
Why are you going for the course?
Why Canada is the preferred destination country?
Future plans and goals?
How's the course going to be beneficial to your career on your return to Nigeria.
Package yourself very well and hope for the best. They're very unpredictable.

childgodly:
You could just have replied normally or ignored it. I asked a simple question.

Alright maybe the tone might have been harsh. But you do get the point I was making. I didn't know you were a minor. In no circumstance should you include both parent. Bitter truth is odds are already against an applicant with the inclusion anyone else in their application. They look for the slightest reason to reject an applicant.

Mobi22:
She asked a simple question and if you can’t give her a response please just scroll away.
She’s a minor.

If you think I didn't make a point with what I have written then you're slow. I'm sure the OP understand the point I was trying to pass through. It was warning. A stern warning!

childgodly:
Hi again everyone.
How do I change my application to include my dad? I haven’t submitted yet, but when I was applying I indicated that I would need a visitor visa for my mum who would be accompanying me. How do I add one for my dad too? Or will I need to start again

you clearly have no idea how brutal application officers can be. That's probably why the thought of including your mum and dad in your application is crossing your mind. You'll soon know who you're dealing with.

He is to resume classes August

. All the best to the applicant. Kindly give an update when eligibility review starts.

jesusbae32:
Am just about to start my journey please

As advised by the other person that quoted your post, it's important the program is at a postgraduate level. I'm not sure if you would be able to find a program at such level in line with fashion. Have a look at business management courses. Google "global business management Canada"

librangyps:

jesusbae32:
Hello all good morning,

Please I studied transport management as first degree then after Nysc I went to a fashion school... have been into fashion now and even have my fashion brand...can I go for a fashion course ( international cut) will I be given study permit...

I need your advice dear family.

Thank you

Yes you can, have you seen one. It's not all programs or institute that are eligible for post graduate work permit, so you should keep that in consideration. What course have you actually found?

Cflow10:
Also please my Dad’s passport expired last year and he’s not my sponsor, he doesn’t have a birth certificate too. Can I put the expired passport like that since it shows his date of birth or do I have to look for an alternative line declaration of age ?

what concerns your dad's passport with your application?

Winner0718:
Hello My people,

Been a while congrats to those who had received their PPR.
We that are wating will receive it this week INSHA ALLAH!!!

Attached is what my Timeline is showing

2nd time applicant
Thou i sent MBS from Polaris but i am yet to upload the ticket ID

There's absolutely no reason for you not to include the MBS certificate in your application. The whole point of including it is to expedite the process.

Emmyzdon:
Pls I have done my biometrics. What document do I need to update on my profile?

the update won't be done by you

crowntoro:
hi everyone.
please I need recommendations for schools that give me full scholarship for masters in computer science in canada.
I have written IELTS and I scored 6.5.

favorable responses will be highly appreciated

Girl you'd have to pay tuition fees like everybody else. We would all be targeting scholarship if it was available.

Andir:
The issue is at the moment she can’t transfer the funds but my first semester has been paid, and also She has money in her first bank, but there’s no first bank on the website, so can I get the bank statement of her first bank and attach the previous statement also, then explain that since they needed from a bank I decided to add the first bank? Does that work

Hopefully it would. However some applicants have been able to get MyBankStatement certificate for first bank. If you're unable to get it, proceed as you've stated.

Andir:
Good afternoon,
Please my question is about the NSE route, in my application the financial statement I submitted for my aunt who is my sponsor is from a money market investment company, I also submitted my IELTS , I just got the NSE request to submit Mybankstatement, what do I do? Since it’s an investment company statement and it’s not on the Mybankstatement website

A solid prove of fund must come from a "recognised" banking institution. What you've provided might not even be recognised. You better transfer the fund to a bank and attach a letter explanation to your bank statement.

Baggiomarrio:
Gurus, you guys should help me nawww! I don’t know what to do, I applied using the nomal rout. I applied January 22 using the nomal statement because I thought Firstbsnk don’t have mbs, with a letter to back it up that first bank don operate that Servis. My question is, now that is very obvious first bank operate ...... can I still do the mbs and send to ircc or I should just live my application like that? Help a brothe am just 17 year , I don’t know what to do

Get it and upload using webform.

This gcms is nonsense and exploitative. Why can't they just include the info in the refusal letter.

demure178:
I clicked yes, even wrote in details in the im form, It was a mistake from them

. If you're certain you did. Attach the form and include a screenshot of that section. Be very polite in your response. In regards to the chargeback, reach out to the person that paid on your behalf. Let the officer understand that there's a 100 USD limitation on international transaction when making payment with card issued from Nigerian banks.

Chasemaduka:
there is none. Is crypto illegal in canada? Or what are your reasons why I shouldn't mention it to the VO?

Not illegal, it just won't help your application. Your best bet is to say you're a freelancer. You must also be going for a course relating to that freelance job. So think deeply and Just try to package yourself very well.

demure178:
Good morning, I just got this now, and I remember telling them I was denied visa 2019 and all, while filling the im form, please I would appreciate if someone could help me out how I should tackle this, or if someone was been sent a wrong false accuse information.

If you did, there must have been a follow-up section for an explanation. Do you remember given any reason for the visa refusal? If you don't remember, you must have clicked on "No". Just give them an explanation it was error. I don't know what else you can do. Post your intended response to the query here before submitting it.

Chasemaduka:
Good morning everyone

Please I really need an advice. Am 28 years, I finished my bsc program in a Nigerian university in 2018 but did not do my clearance due to the facts I didn't pay some school fees and did not have the money to pay for them when I graduated. So I started online trading of crypto because I bought some crypto in 2016 while I was still in school, and the recent boom of crypto saw my investment then in 2016 skyrocket.

So since I finished my bsc program I had focused on online crypto trading. Haven't worked in any organization, obviously because without a meaningful certificate one can't get a good paying job.

Now i have some money, am doing my clearance, infact I should be getting my statement of result and transcript in a month time or there about. Having traded crypto for sometime I now have about 100k cad, and I would love to go for post graduate program or a masters program, it all depends on what my 3.0 GPA can get me.

My problem is this.

1. Am sponsoring myself with a 100k cad, if asked by the VO where I work or where I have worked since I finished school what will be the best answer?

2. Why do I need this certificate or why do I want to study in CA.?


My home ties

A car, a house, and a plot of land ,all worth about 18 to 20m.

Am also married and have child of 2 years old.

Very difficult circumstance. Whatever you do, don't mention crypto as the source of the fund. Is there any business registered in your parents, wife's name?. Figure something out then people can give suggestions.

Ellibaba:
Good evening guys, please when you say “upfront medical” does it mean going for medical before submitting your application or going for it after you’ve your application but before the visa officer requests for it ?

Please I need clarification. Thank you

Both are considered upfront Medicals. In both cases, you will provided with a sheet to upload with your application.

RELAN2446:
In as much you are right and we can blame our leaders for all this. Canada is not the only country in the world, UK, Australia, Ireland among others have easy study visa processes if you want to study abroad, if one can't go through the process of canada.
Another fact why the process is hard is because almost every youlth want to leave this country if they ve the means, buh all these processes is what is still holding some people.

Lol @ "easy". As long as you hold a Nigerian passport, the hurdle is already in place for an applicant.

Chioma3000001:
