8k deposit within a moment is quite unreasonable in respect to form a processing time.

Either ask them to defer your admission for enough time to process your form A, or try and get admission somewhere more reasonable. Blackmarket 1 cad is about N500+ oo..

No go waste money.. Money wey most Canadians no fit afford.

How long does it take to process form A on the average?

I work remotely for a company outside the country. Is that a home ties red flag?
If so, what advice would you give?

As much as transactions show how you run the account, it does not change the fact that the account is yours. In fact a stable account with more inflow turn over than outflow turn over, longer duration of available balance will demonstrate that funds are available at your disposal and not going anywhere any time soon.

You can add your naira account to show more financial strength.

Good luck.

Thank you John.

Hello gurus in the house. I have a dollar dorm account with enough funds for my full tuition and upkeep. But there are no regular transactions on the account. Once in a while I might deposit or withdraw, but not as frequently as my regular naira accounts. Question is, will it be good to use as POF? Or should I use GIC?

Any suggestions here would really be appreciated.

You don't have to close your existing EE account but you'll have to emphasise that you'll return to Nigeria after you complete your studies.

Noted. Thank you.

Apologies if this question has been asked before, if it has, please point me to an answer.

Is it advisable to close existing express entry application before applying for study permit?
Travel / Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by socially4fun: 7:31pm On Sep 28, 2022
Hello everyone.

I will need your advice before I take any decision. I got an admission for winter 2023. The admission notification came late and I've been trying to gather all the documents before I apply for study permit. I got a medical date for 12th October and I plan on applying via NSE immediately after. A friend advised that I pay the tuition via Flywire ASAP so that before the 12th, it would have reflected as Flywire can take some time.

Now the issue is, I have been told here that there is nothing like NSE for Nigerians currently due to the backlog, and I might not get a decision before January.

Is it advisable to go ahead and pay the tuition, apply for study permit and inform the school of visa delays?

Or not paying the tuition and defer the admission to Spring?


Thank you.

Me and you are on the same table. IELTS band 8.5 expiring January and I’m on 469. Honestly I can’t learn French because I never learn Spanish finish sef that’s why I’m lurking around the student thread cheesy

I remember you from an express entry thread. Your moniker is not one to miss. You advised I remark my IELTS then to clinch maximum points. cheesy

I just want to be proactive instead of waiting and hoping. That's why I'm trying school option. Time is going and age is counting.

If anyone here may qualify for express entry please look into it and pursue the express entry pathway.

I'm in the pool. Been there since 2020. My CRS is 468 and the current cut off is high.

Trust me that doesn't work it is better you start now and join the waiting crew the NSE route only applies towards the beginning of the year when the applications are very few not this peak when they are coming in hundred each new day by the time they want to even check your own 30days don pass and they are still prioritizing fall applications.

Interesting. I think I'd just have to defer the admission to May. Thanks for your input. Also, what is the validity of the medicals?

Submit your application if every other things are ready and send your e medical slip through webform after doing your medical in October.

I plan on applying through NSE, and an upfront medicals is part of the requirement.

Hello everyone.

I have a Q Life Lagos medical appointment for October 12th. I need to do it earlier. I am not sure, but if it is possible, I would like to swap with someone with an earlier date. I just got admission for January and I'm a bit behind schedule. Thank you.

Find a way to reduce your score. The last 3 Ontario Tech draws has been between 453 to 465. Your score is a bit higher. Look for things to remove to reduce your score a bit. If you have a worse off IELTS exam that can knock off some points please use that.

Oh, thanks so much. I do have an IELTS with lower CLB, but it drops the CRS to 410

Hi Everyone.

I joined the EE pool in December last year, my CRS is 468. The score is not so high, and I fear the minimum CRS when FSW draw resumes would be higher. Now I'm thinking of going the PNP route.

I'm in tech, and I have been expecting to get PNP nomination, but I have not gotten any. I read somewhere that just by being in the pool, provinces like Ontario would invite me for PNP. A friend of mine was invited just by being in the pool.

Now that I want to actively pursue PNP, what are the things I need to know and requirements I need to possess. Links or comments would be appreciated. Apologies if this has been asked before. Thanks

Hi Everyone, I wrote my IELTS on the 25th of November and I want to request a remark. I've sent them an email to that effect but no reply yet.

Is it advisable to download the EOR form, fill it in and send it to their email address, along with proof of payment? Or should I wait for them to reply my initial email before doing anything?

Question 2, can mobile transfer screenshot serve as proof of payment?

Last and most important question, can I even still apply for EOR. I know they said 6 weeks after test date, but one cannot be so sure how they do their counting. Let it not be that I go and pay money for EOR that I'm not eligible for.

The answer is yes , ITA doesn’t lock IELTS only AOR locks it. By implication you can edit your IELTS anytime before AOR

You’ll remain in the pool o , don’t withdraw any profile o. Wait for the outcome of your remark, when it comes hopefully after the holidays then you update the profile to reflect the new scores.
All the best!

Thank you!
I hope you won't be offended by my next question, but I just want clarity.

What if I apply for a remark and remain in the pool, and while waiting for the outcome, I get invited. And the IELTS remark changes my score. Will I be able to update my profile after ITA has been given on the previous result?

Since the 7/7 are from writing and speaking , these two components are objective and not subjective please reapply for remark and exhaust all options and hope crs next draw will drop

Thank you so much. But after I have applied and waiting for the EOR verdict, can I remain in the pool with the old TRF? Or do I withdraw my EE application after applying for a remark?

Hi everyone, I really appreciate the contents here.

I have a question and would need your advice. I recently wrote IELTS on the 25th of November and the score came out 9/9/7/7 - L/R/W/S. My CRS score with that result is 468.

The current minimum CRS score for the last EE draw is 468, but I did not get invited because of the tie breaking rule.

The question now is, do I apply for a remark of my IELTS so I can get a score of 471 or above and stand better chance for ITA, or do I wait in the hope that the minimum score drops further in the next draw?

Also, if I apply for IELTS remark, do I need to withdraw my EE application? I'm saying that because I'm not sure the TRF would be valid for use during the EOR process.

But I don't get it. Here is someone giving out a rich content for FREE. A content so rich it has kept many of us glued to this site since 2017.

I doubt if Centino has gotten a dime from the Nairaland team for his efforts. Rather, he's been receiving discouraging ban after ban. I recall, this is not the first time he's getting banned.

Admin or Mod, whoever you are, you better lift off the Centino's ban. Now! Don't make thousands of readers who'd come here today for another episode get frustrated because of your bias and incompetence.

BTW, Centino, you are a good writer. Please don't be deterred. Keep up with the good work. And if you ever consider leaving this frustrating platform, please carry your readers along.

I've been a "liker" since 2017. It's not my intention for my first comment to be this way, but, situation critical.

Religion is so full of contradiction.

You are expected to believe in a Life after Death, yet nobody has died & come back ( with hard evidence, not claims)

And ... Judgement Day is always near. No one can say confidently when it is. That's rather convenient

I practice as well... but the whole thing just seems a scam at times grin

You're at the brink of joining the growing atheist community. Watch it. Let's employ absolute faith in religion. Trust me, there are lots of things in religion that when taken from the logical perspective makes little sense.
If the Son of man comes will he find faith?
