uyplus:
Hi, this is the 5th week since I applied for my study permit! As at the time that I put in my application, the estimated processing time as stated in CIC site was 7weeks! I submitted via the paper route and even did my biometrics same day but it still hasn't been updated as completed. Eligibility review hasn't even commenced. The only thing that was updated on my page about 2weeks ago was my upfront medical report, which shows "passed medicals"! Is this slow normal? I submitted my application on the 27th of April, and my estimated time for a response is 15th June. I got admitted for a one year Masters of Public health at University of Western Ontario which is a highly ranked school in Canada and I am a Pharmacist.
I thinks this procedure is getting slow

Note: My school resumes 2nd September!

Candybright:

or think you may be advanced in age.

I had help from @Frankrobbn1 (reviewed my SOP) and @elles2000 (encouraged me from her own experience).
I am very grateful to both of them. I am also grateful to this great forum as I learnt a LOT from here.

I pray that the Lord meets you all at the point of your need

It will end in praise

Please I will like to ask if its possible to get visa for college admission after a masters degree in another field. Thanks. The info is very urgent

harde116:
Errrm,

It's been 4weeks since i applied online, and i have not heard pekem. The only thing that changed was "biometrics updated".I understand some people applied way earlier before me and it's the same, some have also gotten updates in less processing time.
I've signed into my CIC account more than i've used google in the last one month.

From experience, what's the likely processing time before one begins to get updates. Basically, this is just to get have another date i'm counting down to.

BTW, i've been to canada, USA, and Turkey and i indicated them, i've been reading several travel history, don't know if this counts cos it appears travel history now delays instead of giving assurance.

Thanks guys, and God's will be done in our lives.

aduku1:
Please is anyone available to review my SOP!!!!! PLEASE!!!!

gerrymini:
Thank you for your response. I actually volunteered my time there, it wasn't like I was employed without pay. The reason I did so is that i resigned my job about that period to study for IELTS and prepare for studies in Canada.

Following your advice, I will not mention the voluntary work at his company. He also added in the sponsorship letter that upon my arrival (after studies) he will make me part of the senior management team in his company (I am actually going to study Management). I hope this makes more sense.

Also, I hope I will not face the problem of current employment situation if i state that I resigned my job to study for IELTS and prepare for studies in Canada?

gerrymini:
Somebody Help!!

I am quite confused.

My sponsor is my Godfather and I have been assisting in running his business for the past seven months without pay. He is willing to sponsor but won't transfer any money to me now until I get my TRV. I am getting a reference letter from his company saying that I intern there but without pay. He is also giving me his bank statements (personal and business), company docs, employment letters and landed docs. We are also from the same state and can provide state of origin doc.

Please, what are my chances?

Oshey9999:


Why do you want to enter that early would be the question you should prepare yourself for at the POE. Even to the ordinary person, it raises a lot of red flags as to your intention(s). I'm not 100% sure of the Canadian immigration laws regarding early entry by a student holding a trv, but I'm absolutely sure that it is not allowed for a student holding a US F1 student visa. Even your school will admonish you not to enter the USA any time more than 30 days to the school's start date. Here is the logic: You are going on a long journey that requires you to leave all your family members behind for long time, shouldn't there be more of inertia than repulsion?

HiSignature:
In my opinion, i still do not feel there will be a problem. Your flight could have taken you through US if you have a US visa to fly through. Practically, no straight flight from Nigeria to Canada, so anyone coming from Nigeria to Canada flies through another country.
If you plan to spend some days or weeks in US after flying from Nigeria before entering Canada, just have your story straight, the immigration at the POE will not really bother about that...it is that simple.
Thank you.

HiSignature:
Yes, you can.
Depending on the immigration officer at the POE, there is most likely a restriction not to be able to work until resumption be included in the *condition to work while schooling*

launrey:
Tell the landlord that you're a new immigrant and its your first time in Canada. He would be happy to rent out to you because I had the same issue too. You have to pay the first and last month rent down though.

Alright, thanks. Check your email.

Hi Frank,

Thanks for your reply. My Co-Sponsor didn’t mention any of his dependant in the sponsorship letter he gave to me. Right now, he’s not around to give me another one, and am submitting my application in few days to this time. Please, can I address this in my LOE/SOP? By stating his dependants? Can this really work?

@ All, please I also need your suggestions on this.

And please, I really need someone to review my SOP too.


God bless you all
