My husband submitted his passport yesterday in Lagos with no appointment. Just walk-in

Chinaza93:
Please do I need appointment for passport submission because it’s only showing Ghana vfs on the select center menu

ITS PPR!!!!!!!!!

I applied after I got my PGWP.

Kurukuru:
When did you apply for SOWP for your spouse? Did you get PGWP after submitting the SOWP?

I have applied for my spouse in June but not gotten a response. I am on PGWP.

Jumsss24:
Hello everyone, I would like ask if there is anyone whose spouse is on PGWP, has applied for SOWP from outside Canada and has gotten approval in recent times?

Please, let me also know the processing time. Thank you

I have a job, teer 1 but my visa is PGWP.

Jeboy:
I am not sure PGWP is skilled oh. Skilled migrant is classified by Teer 0 to 3 .

PGWP is just a grace period for foreign graduants to convert there visa into skilled (Teer 0-3) or unskilled (Teer 4-5) and then apply for PR route.

I think it should be student (no 4). That is why she has to be either PhD/Masters or professional degree graduate to explore this route for her spouse else she will have to get a skilled job offer if she is a college graduate for her spouse to qualify for SOWP.

Same reason you can't use PGWP alone to pursue PR if you haven't gotten an offer or worked as a skilled professional under a Teer 0 to 5 classification.

Good morning everyone.

First time posting on this thread (I think)

My husband is applying for SOWP. I am on PGWP. He wants to book Upfront medical at IOM.

What should he put down as his Migrant Type
1. Family Migrant/Sponsorship
2. Immigrant
3. Skilled Migrant
4. Student
5. Visitor

I know its not 4 or 5, but not sure which is most suitable.

Thank you everyone!

Has anyone received a calendar invite for the interview with an actual date?

My friend got an interview invite but no date or calendar invite has been received. Do people already have calendar invites for the virtual interview? So far all she has done is send the scanned documents they requested.

Incredibleme:
Does anybody have an idea of the type of interview questions they ask?

Merry Christmas guys.

Pls can I change my 2 years course to a 1 year course in CENTENNIAL COLLEGE for May 2022 admission, because I just realised I'm going to need a POF of about $56k (N20m range) which I don't think I can't realistically raise.

I realised its better to secure a 2 year admission to get a 3 year PGWP, but POF no dey ground 4 now.

I have received a pre-admission letter (to receive LOA upon payment of deposit fee of $2650). Although I'm still waiting for admission from CONESTOGA COLLEGE.

@viviangogos
@Laborah
@CalcreteJB
and other gurus.

Pls advise.

Hope you know you don't have to show the full 2 years tuition as POF, except you are self sponsored. If for example your parents are sponsoring you just need 1 year tuition and some evidence that there would be money again for your 2nd year.

Can i be added to the Mexico group chat please. I wilk be travelling January 1st 2nd or 3rd. Thank you.

@frankrobbn1 @justwise @makano

Please brothers , I am still not clear on this .

I have 20k USD in my account
I intend to apply for a two year Masters program.
Tuition for the 2 years(6 semesters) is 10 CAD
If I pay full tuition, I will be left with 10k USD

My concern is : is 10k enough for POF or should I work for more months and increase that amount?
From your experience, given my course duration, can insufficient POF be grounds for visa refusal?

Note: I am single , employed(I work on ships). I will sponsor myself. My Masters program is very much related to me B.sc and current work.

Will appreciate some guidance on this please. This is the only place I get real, helpful ideas .

what course and school is 10k cad please

Osemigho:
If you read this page well, you will realize single applicant with full Canadian scholarship don't need a sponsor. You only complicate your financial situation with your sponsors, if they are not your parents and rich enough to afford your tuition and living expenses.

Many past single applicants with full scholarships, including myself, got their student visa with less than 1m in their account. If you don't have that saved, Your parent or siblings can transfer this to you and give you a letter of moral support, not financial support. Your sponsor is your school scholarship.

what school and course did you get your scholarship?

Emmasonic4me:
Hi Akannitommy,

My study is fully funded and in same school with yours. Aside from the $4k PTA, I intend to pay tuition of about $6k using form A as a way of moving my funds at CBN rate. Is there any risk in paying my tuition even though I'm on scholarship?

also what school and course?

from my uk experience. They would not refund the money to you (into a canadian account) they would simply reverse the payment so it will go back to cbn and the original naira account. My school in the UK describes what you want as money laundering. I am saying it this way not to sound too harsh. Goodluck.

atiteb4:
if one renews his passport before travelling, I hope the person won't have issues at the point of entry? Also, will the immigration officers at the POE stamp the old passport that carries the visa or the new one?

Can one renew the passport that has a student visa even if it's not up to 6months to the expiring date? The reason is that the passport will expire March 2023 and I don't think I would have time renewing my passport in Canada and reapplying for the visa inside Canada.

if you renew your passport they usually stamp the old one with 'cancelled without prejudice' and I don't know how this will affect any visas in your passport

Chiziteremary:
Please i have another question if u dont mind. I have read the timelines of the people that got ppr. I havent seen anyone who made payment for accommodation or made any accommodation arrangements before ppr landed. Is that not a requirement for obtaining student visa. Pls reply biko

Its not a requirement. I did secure accomodation before I applied. But that's was a personal choice. I didnt want to look for accommodation too late that's all.

I am not a very active participant on this thread but I am almost always reading it. I have gotten my ppr and stamp passport and it took time before I asked my very first question. I think the thread is losing its value when people ask very very basic questions. Like reading this thread there is more than enough questions about 'how to I send my passport to abuja'. I remember the first time I came across this information I screnshot it and saved it because I knew I will need it. Are people not also doing this. I downloaded the consent form ages ago before ppr even dropped. But almost every week there is another 'please where can I get consent form'.
Every week there is a 'please what documents do I need for study permit thanks. I need a quick response'. How about going on canadas official website. How about reading the thread from the beginning, how about previous threads? This thread just started some months ago and its almost up to 600 pages with not much new information. We need to do better.

Canadaboyk:
I just received my GCMS note, with this Same person again “AH03849“. What I filled out was entirely different and contradicting with what’s on the GCMS. I am sponsoring myself and attached all documents to do that. But here it states parents/pa to sponsor. I’m just so mad at this guys. I don’t know if I should seek JR or just reapply. This is so sick, all my land and house documents, pof of 60k cad, proof of employment, cac to show I’m capable of sponsoring myself was submitted. And now I’m seeing parents to sponsor like wth. Refused on personal asset

pa might mean principal applicant. Which would be you.

ADMISSION TIME LINE
University of windsor
Applied: 10th April
Admission: 6th July
I also applied to University of Victoria 14th of December deadline was 15th of December. I was rejected. I applied to Dalhousie 16th of January (sontha one month would pass and the 100 dollars limit would apply again). I have forgotten the exact deadline date but it was a few days to the deadline. I was rejected. I applied to Concordia University 26th January, 2 weeks to their deadline. Decided to not wait a month and use somebody card. I still got rejected.
Reasons were vague. But what I deduced was graduate programs have limited slots. Even if you meet the requirements applying late would mean the slots are filled.
After the rejections. I stupiy applied to Wilfrid Laurier University a day to their deadline, 29th March. Ofcourse I got rejected. So I applied to University of Windsor January 2022 instead of September. Months to their deadline and I received admission almost immediately after their deadline.
My conclusion, people were getting admission letters previously while I was putting in my application. Obviously not good for me. So APPLY EARLY even for admission.

Its PPR ����������
