Bruh you have nailed it ooh
The reason for early resumption is to settle in well on time and sabi the country small. That being said, one also have to be calculative financial wise.
So, thanks for your advice.

kennyjoy:


I know right lol people wan move before resumption, but to be candid, you need to plan well, imagine arrived 3months before your resumption, you started balling, paying rent if at all you were lucky to get a room self, most stay at AirBNB which it’s lot of money, buying groceries, you will start eating foodstuffs you bring from 9ja ooo, foodstuffs that suppose to last you for atleast a semester or two EXCEPT you have a families/friends who is already here to settle you IN softly, even if at all they want to helped you, coz most friends and families will want you to pay your own bills, then go let you that no be den send you come Canada.

I came in a month before my resumption, when I calculated how much I already spent, just for a month ooo without working heeeeeheee.

In a nutshell, I'm not discouraging anyone who want to resume early, just make sure you have a legitimate reason, also put some other factors in place.

Thank you for sharing your idea on the matter.
I have also asked someone who’s living in Canada and he said anyone with a valid visa can enter Canada way ahead of time before school starts.

All the answers so far are valid and I really appreciate your time to share your ideas/thoughts…

Bro, I don't think so, I have a friend who is Canada since May 2022 and he is for September 2022 intake. The only issue is that the immigration officer might ask why you're coming early. Also, they might want to ask a few questions, but most times they don't ask. I plan to enter early too.

One thing we need to know is this, Canadian govt needs our money - my guy said he heard that they call international students cashing cows

I have also asked some experienced travel agents such as wakadoctor and co, and they said you can enter anytime you want so far you have your visa. Visa is key and also your money (that's one reason the immigration officer will be particular about)

my advice for anyone who has their visa ahead of resumption is to try and pay for another semester now. But note that, you can't work without your school enrolment letter.

If my statement sounds rude or offensive, please pardon my manner because tomorrow is Sunday.

Ok. Thank you for sharing.
Where you asked questions as to why?

gaeul:
I traveled three months before resumption though but then again nau risk

Thank you for sharing your inputs.
I Appreciate it mahn

johnstan:


From a zoom meeting I had with my school in preparation for resumption, you can enter Canada anytime, however, you will need to explain to immigration the reason for your early entry.

If the reason is to stay with family members, relatives etc to get acquainted with the environment then you wouldn't have a prob with immigration.
You will also need to show your health insurance to immigration that will cover you till school resumes because the one that comes with your study permit will not be active till your school resumes.

So if this two is checked and any other that may arise then you're good. If they don't check it's advisable you chill till 2-3 weeks to your resumption.

Alright thank you…

User00711:


It’s always advised a month before, so April.

Thank you for sharing.
Just a bit curious tho…..
Because I have friends who already in Canada and travelled 2 - 3 months before start of study.

Welsh2np:


It’s not possible bruhhh...
The earliest you can travel is April. Don’t make that mistake, you’ll be sent back!!!

Good day guys!

I plan to enter Canada early February and school starts May. I hope there is nothing wrong with that?
Please share your thoughts.

Thanks

It’s okay to feel this way and believe me, we all understand and share your feelings.
I felt same way and deep inside I prayed my application came out positive and God answered my prayers. So, I will encourage you to be positive and trust in Gods time.

Ynxxxxxx:
My study permit application is almost six month, I do not care whether result atm. I just want a decision from them! I can’t even close my eyes without thinking. Eligibility Reviewing over 2month now. I send them mails everyday including webform nothing nothing….. are they God ? I’m literally tried.

You are correct and I’d also suggest you increase the funds and say you have your ticket money available To and Fro and other miscellaneous…

MsLane:
Hello guys,

I got admitted to Fleming College to study Project Management (1Yr or 8months) and to Seneca College (2yrs) to study Business Marketing.
Both courses are because I am working as a Product Manager in Marketing.
I want to know if after paying the tuition deposit for Seneca for 1st semester, the POF should show for 2years living expense and 3 semester balance. Am I correct?

Congratulations man… welcome to Canada

wasiubello:
Guys follow me thank God, I just got approved this night and the original passport was requested. I will write my timeline shortly

Lol I don’t know oo
I submitted on the 25th of October

Shugapee:

I wonder if yyour going there made any difference or if it was just a coincidence. when did you submit it again?

Hello!

I went there today and the passport is not yet ready for pick up. But, I got an sms shortly after I left that my passport is ready for pick up. I will go tomorrow and get it.

wolske:


talk2Prince, how far? Have you collected your passport? Please can you send me your email or phone number? I'll like to have a chat with you. Thanks in advance.

10 working days.

daffy22:
How long did you wait after getting an email that your passport is being processed by ircc before getting the last email?

From what I know, you should have a vacant space in your data page for visa stamp and your passport should be valid for the duration of the visa.

Thelz:


Please if you do not mind me asking, my passport will expire august next year which is more than 8months now ..does it mean I have to renew for new one before sending to them when they request for it..or can I still use it and renew when it expires ..please I need urgent answer on this because am in between renewing or leaving it because of stress and time it would take please

Passport submission is free if go to same location you did your biometrics. They go charge you 28k I think if you go to another location other where you did you biometrics.

dhamsleroy:
pls did u pay any money for the submission of your passport at VFS or was it free? pls i'd appreciate ur response

I told the security man at the front entrance that I came for passport collection and that was it.
When I got in, I did the same and picked a number, waited for my turn to be attended to and I was told by the attendant that my passport is not yet ready for collection..

Shugapee:

Hi who did you speak to when you went there. The security was very dismissive when I went

Alright thanks for the heads up.

Cheebu:


Most likely. Make your mind rest small now. Lol. Though I think they're supposed to send you a message to come for pickup.

Went to VFs this morning to check on my passport and it was not ready for pick up. Minutes after leaving, I got a mail that my application with tracking number…….. has been dispatched from IRCC Abuja office to Canada visa application Center. Does this mean my passport is ready for pickup?

Yea I tracked it and its being forwarded to Canada visa office… Another waiting lol

Profgordons:


Did you try to track it? If you don’t get an sms they will just give a dismissive response that you should wait for their sms. I saw people get such responses on Thursday while I was there in Abuja.

Yea sure I will…

Shugapee:

I submitted mine on 24th October no news yet. If you go to their office, can you please update us with their response

Yes I did call but I couldn’t get anyone to speak with… I live in Abj so I’d just go there and k kw watsup.

bepositive11:


Have you tried calling them?

Hello guys!
Have any of you gotten your passport back lately?
I submitted mine for stamping 25th or October and no response from VFS yet. I’m thinking to go there on Monday out of curiosity.

For those of you waiting patiently for the outcome of your application, I pray it is approved Amen..

Also, I’d you’re planning on travelling next year around February/March we can connect.

Have a blessed Sunday and fruitful week �

That even better, gives you more advantage.

BKN060:

But please can I use my own statement of account because I have sufficient funds inside

I think what the embassy meant, your uncle or Aunty must have some sort of connection with you.
It is only
Normal that your family members sponsors you while studying abroad.
So, provide proof that you are related to your Uncle
or Aunty.

BKN060:

Hello

I hope the previous comment before mine answered your question. In addition to that, Bulgaria is not very organised per say as you would have to sort your way to get things done.
Before you settle for PR in Bulgaria or Citizenship make sure the country is worth it.

Kahbahsah:
Greetings to all elders in this thread.

Please my question is; if I get into Bulgaria as a student, apart from marriage, what is required for me to move from just being a student to become a permanent resident and maybe citizen? I make my income online so I am not after getting jobs, I am after living in a well organised and beautiful country with affordable cost of living, so that my income can take me further.

Thanks for the anticipated responses

Hello…
Iam sure that i replied the last mail I got from NL.
Maybe you can send again or ask your question here if it’s related to this thread.

Globetrot:
Bro, I sent you a pm, I want to make some inquiries

Good thing your wife is already there so you can focus more on work and better places.

ajayidebo:
Lol.. My wife is already singing that to my ears. I just want to make sure I have many options available to me on getting there in
terms of job and future plans. I don't mind moving to other State for hustling really. It all depends on what is available and the legality for me. Man needs to make money so that I can also be planning Canny move like you

Alright… carry plenty naija food stuffs ooh
Winter is coming and you need eat better food lol

ajayidebo:
That's great. Still in Nigeria for another few weeks, Lagos to be precise.

Good Sunday morning guys!

I pray this week for good news for US all.
PPR go roll in IJN Amen.

I really admire the efforts everyone of us put in this Canada movement because truth be said, at the of it all it’s worth it when we finally land in Canada and starts chasing our dreams. That been said, it should not stress us out like this not at all. One thing I don’t like is waiting too long, I like to know my faith and get ON.
For those that got refused after the long wait and hope that it comes out positive, I feel for you.

Now so many of you are considering the UK and that is excellent because the most important thing is that we have a life and make I meaning out of it. You can also get to Canada from UK if you still want it.

If you need help with schools in the UK I can drop a page here that can assist you with it and it’s totally free and at the moment you don’t need to pay any processing fee.
This is a suggestion tho and a way to cheer you up to continue until you win..

Im in Finland at the moment…
Working my way to Canada as you seen I’m on the thread too to share and acquire some info too…
Are you based where in Nigeria?

ajayidebo:
God bless Bro.

Where in the part of the world are you now?
