Lindyadam:
Congratulations @tinuowo. I wanted to ask a question. My husband put in an application on the 17th of November, 2023. You mentioned that you sent a web form. Was it to inquire or ask for a fast track of the application? I am asking because since we made the application, it has just been biometrics passed and background information in progress. Any advice?
Yes I wrote an emotional note that I left my children most especially my baby( left him @9months) to come study in Canada….that I have left them for too long and I am missing them…I also attached my result up to 3semesters that I have done and my complete school fees receipt to show them that see oo I have completed my school fees… cos d reasons for there previous denials were insufficient Proof of fund.

My advice, send them a webform, if you r in Canada target 12-1am to send the webform. Just write a note according to your situation and attach a document to show your progress in your study (just speaking from my lil experience)
Even before the webform, I have called them severally but I realized those guys are just customer service agents there is nothing they can do from there end.. they will even tell me to send a webform.
Above everything pray 🙏 your husband PPR will come through by God’s grace🙏

I hope this helps?

Congratulations 🙏 just take the passport to UPS close to the VFS. I think the cost is just 2600 or so
Thank you
Although the UPS said my children will pay transmission fee of 17k each since they didn’t do biometric.

Thank you Jesus!!!🙏

Thank you all for your inputs too🙏

PPR dropped yesterday for my family after using two different agents because I didn’t have time and it led to denials.
I had to sit myself to do the application myself with the help of God and you all…🙏 am just rounding up a 2yrs program, my final level.
Date applied: November 14th 2023
PPR: January 16th 2024
Sent webform on the 14th of January at 12am Canadian time cos I know it will be around 7am-8am in Nairobi.
PS: please dont use agent for your family application there is nothing like sitting yourself to do it. You will knlw the right documents and pictures to attach.

Please what is the process submitting passport at VFS. Should we book or take the passports to the UPS at the front of VFS center?

Good day everyone! Please I need an urgent reply.
Can I apply for SOWP for my spouse and SV/VV for my kids when my study permit is expiring in April 2024? Cos I heard it has to be 6months on it and I was already granted extension before but will be done with my studies in that same April 2024.

Good morning all, Happy Sunday!😊
Please kindly answer this question 🙏

I applied for my immediate family after I got my study permit but the application was declined. In this application my spouse opened his own GICkey account and applied for SOWP then added the children under his application. I have applied for CBSA yet to get it.

My question now is if I want to re-apply for them can I do the application under my already approved application i mean under my own GICkey account?
Or continue with spouse’s GICkey account?

He might be right but I totally disagree with NBCC and NSCC Nigerians get study permit with these institutions I don't really have much experience with the other schools mentioned but I'm sure if NBCC and NSCC. As long as you put up a tight application you're good to go
He said because the ‘red flag schools are in remote areas.. I thought Canada is even encouraging people to settle in remote areas?

I personally do not go by this subscription,your school doesn't have anything to do with your study permit application as long as the school is a dli approved by IRCC,I have seen many applicants gotten study permit with NBCC, NSCC and the likes, the most important is putting up a very good study permit application.
It will end in praise
Now I am confused! I wont lie. What should I do now? Continue with the NBCC? I already showed the person that want to pay for my NBCC app fee that the school is a no no with getting study permit..

I made a research about the school(NBCC) if they are under DLI and if I can apply for work permit after my studies and it was positive.. So I felt so devastated when I saw @frankrobbn’s quote that the school is not a good one for IRCC.

Please house kindly help before I proceed further..

Frankrobbn1:
There are some certain schools in Canada that you will struggle to obtain a Canadian study visa if you use their acceptance letter for your visa application. This is most often caused by several factors which include:

A. If the school is located in a remote area in Canada.
B. The cost of the program in the school.

I'll point out a few schools I know that international students specifically from Nigeria struggle to obtain visas to study in Canada;

The names of these institutions are as follows;

1. New Brunswick Community College (NBCC)
2. Novia Scotia Community College (NSCC)
3. College of the North Atlantic (CNA)
4. Saskatchewan Polytechnic (SP)
5. ST. CLAIR COLLEGE
6. Red River College
7. Sheridan College
8. Confederation College and a few others.


It will end in praise
Woow like a big wow.. i got admission in Cambrian college(IT:Business Analysis) but because of their high fees I ignored and wanted to start applying to NBCC cos of their low tuition fee n then I stumbled on this.. I was about to pay for NBCC app fee and already got WAEC scratch card of 2500naira today for NBCC� What can I do to continue with Cambrian?


Pls sir @Frankrobbn1 I sent you an email through your signature kindly accept� I am so disturbed with so many questions. Thank you!

Hello everyone,
I just looked up CIMT on the Designated Learning Institutions(DLI) list on the Canadian immigration website. This school is not eligible for a Post Graduate Work Permit, which means that any international student who goes there would be ineligible for a Post Graduate Work Permit after their studies and would have to return back to their country. Please to anyone who is applying to a university or college in Canada, always check if your school qualifies for a PGWP using this link: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/prepare/designated-learning-institutions-list.html#wb-auto-25.

May our village people not follow us!
You are very correct. I got to know CIMT is not an accredited school today after I saw a bad review of the school on Quora. I will ignore them and search further.
Thanks!

Hello House!

While I was searching for schools i found this school CIMT college Canada. I like the course because it is what I really want to study but their tuition fee is high.
The school also promised to help with job search upon completion .. how true is this? Is anyone familiar with the school?
Program Name – Data Analyticsand Business Intelligence
Duration –52 weeks
Total Tuition fees – CAD $21,248.75
Instalment 1 – CAD $5,312.19
Instalment 2 – CAD $5,312.19
Instalment 3 – CAD $5,312.19
Instalment 4 – CAD $5,312.19

CIMT College will be happy to assist you with your work permit application through the LMIA process. The other pathway open to international students is PGWP. Let me explain to you the difference between a PGWP and WP.
If you are interested in a PGWP - you must study in a university/ community college for a longer duration, Apply for a PGWP, once approved find a job on your own in the field of study. Universities do not provide you with job assistance.
The tuition fees in university is approx 60,000 CAD and their graduation rates are less than 60%. Also, since you are expected to take 4/5 courses at once, you have no time to work part time. We have many students who drop out and join us as we help them find employers ready to sponsor their LMIA. Please read more about LMIA on the official IRCC website.You may be eligible to stay for upto 2 years with this method and work full time.

This is exactly what I want to achieve. Kindly let me know if you hv gotten the admission and the process involved.
I also read Computer Science 2-2 and I am looking for a 2years Advance Diploma course in any colleges in Ontario. My challenge is that most of those computer courses are highly competitive courses reserved for a Canadian citizen or sm1 already in Canada I think.

Thanks boss. My school of interest happens to be Algonquin and I plan to apply for a 2years Diploma course in Computer Systems Technician. Am in need of a little guidance on how this school application works. Also if I can use my B.sc certificate to apply or it has to be my O'level plus if IELTS is a criteria. Thanks

Hey guys, first and foremost I give all the glory to God for His faithfulness and His mercy.

I really want to thank all of u that commented and helped me one way or the other when I had my denial last month. Special thanks goes to Shoggie ( only God can repay u for me, till today he has always been checking up) Ojap ( your call made a big diff, God bless u) and to imperioxx( ur testimony was an inspiration) Bigfrancis21 n others thanks for the encouragement when I wanted to give up.

To any1 that has ever posted a ques here or their interview experience etc thanks a whole lot! I'm grateful

My interview was for 10:30 ( sebi u have noticed this 10:30 trend and success hmmm) I got der by 10:25 they had already called them in I was like 15th to last.

While I was waiting for my name/num to be called I witnessed other f1 visas and all the ones I witnessed were approved. But one particular one left me in shock.

A girl came for f1 visa and she made so many blunders in my mind I was saying they have already denied her, her english wasn't so good( who am I to judge abi) she didn't write any test and wen d vo asked her how much does ur sponspr make ( which was her mum) she said she doesn't know that her mum doesn't tell her, me I was like huh? Then she now said she has her statement, the vo said u have her statement but u dnt know how much she makes? She said her mums sells trinkets n accessories, the vo typed for like 5mins and approved her visa!! I was in shock , na juju the girl use ni? If u see the way she was saying thank u she nearly knelt down.lol

Now to me all the vos were female today except the chinese man who was switching btw vo n thumb print. Didn't want him to call me cos e dey deny everyone.

The miracle started from the fact that I went with the same statements I went with the last time I was denied, no change @ all no cover letter from d bank, no letter of support just ordinary stamped bank statement( no take this risk if u dnt have the faith to carry it)

Vo: are u....?
Me: yeh hello
Vo: y r u goint to d us
Me: for my grad studies @...
Vo: what r u gonna study:
Me:told her
Vo:Why?
Me: told my KISS story with passion
Vo: pls pass me ur admission letter and proof of finance ( note she didn't ask who my sponsor was) and also pass evidence of the scholarship u received
Me: passed bank docs n admission letter
Vo: (used 2 seconds to flip thru bank statement and gave me back while checkin something on her wall)
Vo: where's the evidence of scholarship?
Me: its in an email I didn't print it, buts its on the i-20
Vo: awwww ok
Vo: so is this ur mums statement
Me: no my aunt
Vo: so y is she sponsoring u?
Me: told her
Vo: what does she do?
Me: told her
Vo: looks @ her system for like 7 mins all the while telling me to hold on that's she's coming
the 7 mins seemed like 7 hrs I was just praying,
Vo: what did u do for undergrad?
Me: told her
Vo: ok ur visa has been approved
Me: thank u thank u
Vo: u will pick it @ apapa
Me: apapa? I thot it was ikeja
Vo: no we have changed our contractors no more ikeja
Me: apapa is far for me( see me I don collect visa finish I dey complain)
Vo: u can call this number they can help u out
Me: ok thank u I like ur scarf ( she had a beautiful scarf around her neck)
Vo: thank u!

Wow.... Thank yu!pls send me ur email address cos I heard dat I ll av to cancel the appointment fill another Ds-160

Bro, let me assist you, follow this procedures on filling another DS 160 form; I guess you won't be having much problem anymore after following this steps;


Filling another DS160 has nothing to do with your booked appointment date. Go to DS160 webpage
https://ceac.state.gov/GENNIV.

Select your location, then on the lower right corner of your screen, click on "retrieve an application"(if you opt for "retrieve an application", you won't have to start filling-in your information from scratch on the DS160 i.e. Some of your information on your previous DS160 will be carried-over to the new
DS160).

You'll be required to enter your old
application id which is also same as your
confirmation number, some security questions would also be asked. After answering the security question and clicking on "retrieve application",
you'll have an option to "view confirmation page" OR "create a new application".

Select "create a new application" and click "continue" so you can
carry on from there...Note that another DS160 confirmation number will be generated.

Go to the appointment booking site: http://
www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/ng-niv-
appointmentschedule.asp log into your profile, on the left pane on your screen click on "update
profile" and change your DS160 confirmation number to the new one.

You will notice in your profile that your appointment date is fixed except
you decide to reschedule. I wish you all the best in your interview.[/quote]
