Good afternoon All,

I hope we hear good news this week before néw year. This Canada journey will test your patience indeed. Sometimes you will be happy and another time you will feel super anxious .

Their website is having some technical issues , hopefully they working on somethings at the backend

All the best

Philadelphia:


Can PTE or TOEFL be used in lieu of IELTS?

Hello

I doubt that. They specifically requested for IELTS. It's either you get that or wait till the period lapse and they continue with your applications

All the best

olasubomy:
The EAGLE has landed. I got my stamped passport delivered to me by DHL this morning.

I wish every one waiting a posiive decision soon.

My personal New Brunswick person

So happy for you but that’s a really fast process . I will be reaching out to you later on

All the best in Canada

Have a great holiday ahead

safetim:


From the pic, what's TEF and how did you get it. Seems like it's an alternative to IELTS

@safetim, TEF is the French language version of IELTS mostly required of applicants going to school in French territories in Canada like Quebec but you can try it , if you plan very well

ehiremen2002:
This is addition to my last uploaded gcms. When I got a reject, My anunt huby tried contacting his MP if the case can be reocnsidered. And from the GCMS, it look after several attempt. they still said no. Now how can I unturn their decision in my next application. I am set in seeding in a new one.

Was wondering if paying part of the tuition will help in anyway.

@ehiremen2002

All the funds you submitted which part is your own , your parent’s own and your uncles’. Am trying to figure out something . Maybe it can work

All the best bro .

Popoolam:
To anyone that wants to give up, I am begging you not to. Believe me, I can understand the mental torture these applications can give someone.

I am so thankful, I just received my PPR. It feels like I am just breathing well for the first time in months.

I also received the NSE letter, but I submitted only the my Bank statement certificate. In the case of the IELTS, I forwarded them a letter explaining how it was not possible for me to do the exam and get a result before the timeline and attached a waiver letter/mail from my DLI. Please note that this was just my case and I’m not declaring it as Avenue to bypass the IELTS requirement but it is an option in an extreme case.

I got my upfront medical uploaded in a few days by bombarding any and all international IRCC mails I could find. I did this as well as the option of waiting for them to pick my web forms

I want to thank you all for the relevant information. God bless you

Now, onto the passport submission phase.
I would really appreciate any and all information I can get on this. The only thing I know at this point is avoid Lagos vfs.

Congratulations bro . I love hearing this kinds of news . It brings relief and joy to me . Your patience and struggles has finally paid off. Good news indeed

When did u reply back the NSE request letter ??

Thanks

All the beet

kelvine95:


I submitted on Oct 4th, did biometrics 19th.

Wow we submitted same oct 4th

Did u get the NSE request letter??

Maybe you can share you timeline for these wonderful gurus to assist in reapplication

All the best

kelvine95:
I was denied Visa this morning base on home ties and financial status. I want to order for my gcms notes, but I am not sure I will re-apply, since I am going there as fully funded.

Good morning kelvin,

Sorry about your refusal . But you apply for the note . Since it’s financial status and home ties

Maybe they were expecting at least something in your account , a job , family or other assets . Try to apply again . It will definitely turn out well. You are most there

When did u submit this application ??

All the best

TeeMade:
Thanks for the clarification. I don't even mind using my GT, my singular concern has been the fact that I selected No when asked if I had taken a language test in my application form.

Apart from saying i didn't upload it cos it was not the Academics result, I will appreciate any ideas on how to justify my reason for choosing that answer at that time if I have to upload the result that I had since last year becuase tbh, I don't see myself writting another test immediately with all that's hot on my plate right now.

Appreciate any valuable ideas guys. Thanks alot.

It must end in praise...

I no even remember wetin I fill self .

Sugarbunny94:
If you applied or you are planning on applying for study permit in QUEBEC province, be ready to receive your NSE request mail for TEF!!! and not IELTS.

I just got mine, and I am sitting this one out☺️

I can't come and kill myself.

Those that applied before this NSE stuff, I consider you lucky to have escaped.

When the time elapses, they should kindly resume my application process biko.

Haba. This one na wickedness ooooo

TEF keh

Am sure a lot of candidates going to Quebec wouldn’t follow this route . The time to learn French is more a year let alone doing an exam on it

It’s well o

willbeck:


Hello,

I feel you need IELTS academic for NSE. I don't think ielts general counts for the purpose of NSE.

Hello please don’t confuse people here now .IRCC accepts both . People have sent post or related messages regarding both of them . I know of someone that used General and was approved . Even Canadian high commission in Nigeria recommends general ( see attached email response from them ) but they still accepts academics too

So they accept both of them . Let people write which one they feel and I will urge people to write general cause it seems easier and will be good for immigration purposes later in the future

Have a great day ahead

blcoolfemol:
This morning, I went out briefly and I was about 15 minutes away from home. Suddenly the call just entered .

Ups man: Hello! I am the UPS delivery man I am in front of your house.
Me: Argh! I went out briefly can you please come to the location?
Ups man: Do you have your collection slip with you?
Me:which one is collection slip again? I sent everything together at once.
Ups man: If you don't have the collection slip, I can't deliver I am returning it.
Me: Baba, please give me 2 minutes, I will join you now now!!

Na so I carry Okada o sharperly. I got to my house I saw UPS bike I didn't see the rider. I just moved closed to the UPS bike and hold it as if na my papa get am.

Opposite my house they are selling akamu and akara. The man was there sipping his akamu and he sighted and just holla me.

Me: Madam, please give this man more 1000 naira akara and 1000 naira pap.
UPS man screamed aahaan Oga you wan kii me.
Me: Oga free free all bills on me. Madam please satisfy this man and no collect one naira from him o

Ups man: Bros I am okay, I have been waiting for you and thank you for the payment of my meal.

So, I took the man to one corner and educate him well that I sent all my documents through DHL, your company should even be thanking me that I didn't do 2-way bill. And there is nothing like collection slip.

He now said what do we do? He doesn't want to be queried at work.

Me: Baba what do you want me to do? I have been waiting for this thing since God knows when.
Ups man: Can you do a photocopy of the front page of your passport, after you have opened this parcel?
Me: Baba that one na smallest thing in this life, I will do 30 copies if you want

Photocopy center is very far from house but I don't mind. We got there, opened the stuff, I shown him the visa page, is this where you want baba? He said yes.

Generator of photocopier no gree start o. At the end Gen start we made copy of my visa page.

Baba said my digital photo is not showing. I said but that's the page you requested. Well no problem, I think you need my passport datapage?

Ups man said Yes, I'm very sorry.

That's how the datapage was done for him and I collected my parcel.

Na so the story goo

To God will always be the glory.

Sharp guy
No dulling ooo

It must end in praise

Safe trip bro

ehiremen2002:
Hello gurus, I need help as I plan re-apply for my student visa. I was initially rejected and just got gcms note.

I am trying to see how I can unturn all the reason they have given for reject. I used one of my inlaw to appeal the case via his MP and that doesnt seems to help.

I think the normal procedure is to share your GCMS note so they can look at the VOs concerns and advise your properly

All the best

Good Day All

I need recommendation on school my sister can get admission into . She finished with 2:2 In Anatomy

OlajideSol:
Good day All,
I got a mail informing me that I qualify for the Nigerian Student Express for the Canadian Study visa, I and my Supervisor are really hoping for this. Only problem is I have exactly 19 days to submit IELTS and I have registered for the Academic exam. There are no available computer based test so I have to write the paper based and the result may not be released on time. Can I use my IELTS General training result from a year ago or it must be Academic IELTS?

Use your General (IELTS )

It’s still valid for 2 years

IRCC didn’t specify which IELTS. So you are good to go

All the best

rebecausoro:


Who would have thought VFS would keep my passport for over a month? I didn't see this coming at all. My course mates even got me a welcome to St. John's package but they'd have to keep it till next week. I had everything well planned and made these plans one month ago. Here I am today, at the mercy of VFS. It is well. Akan owo ikanna abasi. Everything is in God's hands. The worst part is already over.

Congratulations in arrears

Are you going to St John , New Brunswick??

Blavkmaann:

I pray for the favour of the almighty God on mine application and all others still waiting for positive news from IRCC

Thanks for this . I was able to submit my applications for the NSE stream yesterday after almost a week waiting for union bank to forward my Ticket No and Passoword

Good day All,

Regarding mybank statements for Nigeria Student Express . My bank (Union) sent me one year bank statement in soft copy. I was expecting that they will just forward the ticket No and password

Can I use this soft copy or I must tell them to send the ticket

Thank you

olasubomy:


Hi Baphil,

Yes, i submitted my IELTS Academic Test result. Probably becuase they have seen my IELTS in my application.

Can I submit IELTS General for this process too

Thanks

Good morning all,

I got a message for additional documents regarding Nigeria Students Express Entry

I am to submit one year bank statements
IELTS


I want to inquire if my IELTS ( General) will work or what line of action can I take ?

Thanks

fareemah:
@Lekkiboboe and other gurus in the house, please let me have your opinion.

Thank you

Good evening sir or madam,

I understand ur situation and let me just offer my little advice

I also have ACA too. I also enter the EE pool but didn’t meet the cut off point but your point is better than mine.

Don’t verify your ACA with WES o, they wouldn’t give you two or more certificates as equivalent .verify your master alone and I think that’s the highest you can get for you education except you have a PHD

What I will advice is that you rewrite ur IELTS to get enough point but if you think after scoring the highest mark you won’t still meet up with the cut off mark. You can try writing exams in French to boost your score.

For funded Masters ( not science based ) . Maybe in Economics but in Accounting or Finance , it’s very rare and you will need to write GMAT or GRE

What you can do is to be looking at masters in accounting or finance or economics that can waive GMAT in lieu of work experience.

You can also try the MBA at UNB.

Going forward after you must have successfully secured ur admission, try to look for easy pathway to earn CPA Canada or CFA depending on your area of interest

Stay blessed
