[b][/b][b][/b]LANDING GIST…..

First of all, I’d like to return all glory back to God almighty for his mercy over me throughout all the processes. So the journey story: My boarding at mmia Lagos was a smooth one because I work at the airport as government officials before my resignation. The airline (Egypt air) checkin staffs request for Acceptance/ offer letter, evidence of payment of tuition, visa, and I was equally asked to login into my student portal. After confirming all, we boarded about 1400 hours and landed at Cairo at about 2000 hours. We were lodged into hotel at Cairo about 0230 hours next day and we were to wake up 0400 hours as checkin begins 0600 hours to fly to Toronto.Meanwhile ,the same process of confirmation of studentship also played out at Cairo airport. The students were asked to show acceptance letter, payment of tuition fee and to also login to our respective school portal. Some of the prospective students we traveled together had issues here as they were not expecting repetition of all the checks. However the 12 hours flight from Cairo to Toronto started about 0900 hours and we landed in Toronto about 1300 hours local time. Immediately we landed, everyone proceeded to arrive can checkin, I scanned my passport and the machine printed a slip for me. I proceeded to Canada border security agents CBSA where I was asked if I came in with fish or meat. I was later directed to a counter where they do attend to student. I met a long queue and I was on the queue for about 1 hour until my turn. The officer that attended to me asked me the name of the school am going and I told him. He asked if I have made any payments to the school and I showed him receipts of the payment I made. After inputting some details into his computer, he told me to sit down for my student permit.

I want to use this medium to still encourage Nigerians that may be interested in traveling through the students route not to be discouraged. It’s not that difficult at the point of entry as some people here have painted. Note that I will be starting my program during the fall sept and I have entered 2 months before the program. When you get to the entry point, be calm, don’t be tense, answer the questions the officer asked politely and it will come through. I appreciate all the info I got from Nairaland. All our dealings will end in praises. Shalom

I am open to help anyone that needs help in terms of answers to questions and clarifications on the study permit.. such persons can dm or send messages to dayborade @ g mail dot com

Hello guys good morning y'all..
A friend of mine who's going to Conestoga has her Application approved but she's yet to make school fees payment, as she only paid 1500cad Tution deposit. She tried using formA to pay the balance of her first semester school fees but had to cancel it cos this new CBN policy that puts an end to CBN rate.. according to her, she was adviseable by her friend already in Canada to pay school fees else one might be denied entry into Canada upon landing. So pls can she at least pay 5000cad out of 8500cad?? And does she need to inform the school of her intention to pay 5000cad before making the above payment?? or she should just go ahead and pay cos she intends to pay through flywire.. pls your input is highly needed thanks.

The school will require the students to pay up first semester fee before a certain deadline.. It’s advisable for the student to look for money and pay up the first semester fee before traveling

Good morning my people, how much proof of fund will I be needing for a family of 4, my tuition fees is about CAD18,000. I'll be traveling with my wife and two children aged 9 and 2.
Must I show tuition fees for the two years masters program or just for a year?

Tuition : 18,000
Your living expenses $20,000
Living Expenses for spouse $20,000 ($10,000/year).
Living Expenses for child $6,000 ($3,000/year)
Miscellaneous Expenses $3,000+ ( may be more but $5,000 is ok).

Hello, I would like to ask if this works

I want to apply for myself (female) and my spouse, my uncle in the uk is my sponsor and he wants to use fixed deposit certificate in my name as POF from him. He will tender his documents but I don't have any picture with him though we have same surname. I would like to know if it's okay. My home ties would be my registered business if 5years

If not, kindly advise

Your uncle shouldn’t fix any money in your name and he shouldn’t submit any fixed deposit account. Rather he should transfer funds that will be enough to Cather for your tuition and living expenses at least for a year into your account.
Also you will have to proof beyond doubt to the visa officer your relationship with him. Has he been taking care of you or sending you money before now? Those are the evidence the visa officer will want to see.
Couple with your business, your husband and the kids can stay behind as home ties and later you file for them. It shall end in praises

If it’s more than 150 days, you should inform them. You just have to send the new LOA and tell them you deferred your admission to Fall 2023.

No, your passport won’t be re-stamped as the stamped on is still valid until expiration.

Good evening Gurus in the house, kindly put me through on this. I am supposed to resume sch this winter. My passport has been stamped already but for some personal reasons, I deferred my admission to September 2023

So do I need to inform IRCC about the latest development?
What do I tell them if I may ask
Will my passport be Re stamped ?
Thank you guys

lapazi:

duke2000:
My child just got letter to submit passport this morning. We raced to VFS Lekki for submission. Last day expected in school is Sep 12.
- Application submitted in May
- Biometric in June
Used a Nigerian consultant based in Canada (introduced by a family friend in Canada) who greatly coordinated and midwifed the entire process. Not compulsory though, but extremely helpful given the high rate of rejection these days. Be careful of scammers.

Also go along with your international passport

stanmorry:
Please, what items needed at IOM for Upfront Medicals?

Congratulations I am very happy for you. Please come and help me ooo biko

Good evening everyone most especially gurus in the house. I tried to request for GCKEY and what I got in response is that my GCKEY has been revoked. I have never requested for one before … gurus pls how do I go about this issue

CharitoJames:
I am the one God showed mercy, What God cannot do does not exist #NSPPD #7amFirePrayers.

Hello gurus in the house, I’d like to know which is the best for applying between GCKEY and IRCC portal and which one can gurus suggest I use to apply. What I read online is that applicants that enrolled through GCKEY are getting fast response than IRCC portal

Secondly, do I have to create account on portal before going for the medical test? Because I wonder where the medical result would be sent to?

Thanks gurus in anticipation

Thank you.

Omnisavage:
how? By the time I applied, my school had only asked me to pay first deposit of CAD2500

Good day everyone , gurus in the house, I’d like to know what’s next after paying deposit of 2500 tution. I just received my payment receipt. I don’t know which I should proceed for.. maybe medicals and secondly, which document do I need to support my application as a single sponsor applicant. I have account of 40m , my deposit and my salary is 750k monthly. The estimate for my course is $32k.. thanks in anticipation gurus in the house
