You're in for Graduate Program??

Yes boss

Please guys,
Anyone in Royal Roads University, University of Victoria or Camosun College. Or living in Victoria, Saanich, BC or its environs.
I need an accommodation within Victoria, Saanich, Saanichton, View Royal, Colwood, or Langford starting from August/September for a long time rent! I'm going to University of Victoria.
If anyone is also studying or going to any of the school mentioned, you can reach out to me so that we can get a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment to share. I think it's easier and cheaper to get a shared apartment/condo than single bedroom.
Please kindly quote me or send an email attached to my account. Getting accommodation in Victoria is really a tug of war, and it's better to start now!

Iffylove:
Same experience, but early this morning here, around 2:00pm Nigeria time, I checked with the ID, so its now ready for collection. I logged into my spouse's account and the counterfoil was right there.
So don't be worried.

Thank you very much, in fact LOI just dropped now too. And tracking shows it has been sent back to vfs for dispatch to destination

FaithCanny:
Please I collected loans from my office to make up my proof of funds. It affected my salary and it showed in my salary account, how do I explain the loans and is it alright if I say I collected car and housing loans?

Why will you say you collected loan for car or housing and you're using it for study? I don't think such will fly...

Attached a statement from your office to show you collected an educational loan. IRCC do support loan for education purposes. It's part of accepted proof of funds listed on their website. So use it!

Hello fam,

Please, for those who got PPR, did you receive email notification that prompted you check your IRCC account or you randomly checked you IRCC account and found the PPR request? I want to know if only checking one's email is enough not to missed out on an important update.

Those of us waiting and praying... God will answer us soon in Jesus name.

Personally, I just checked my portal and I saw 2 unread mails in the morning... Email notification later came in about 5-6 hours later!

atoke2021:
Yeah sure. Anyway I can help. I will tell you now that accommodation No be for here but we can definitely brainstorm and I can check anything you need me to

Thank you very much!
Yeah, I can imagine! With findings and videos, I've seen that Victoria is really expensive and accommodation is a tug of war. To the point students are booking airbnb for a whole session, I've known that I'm in for a looonnng thing.
I've sent an email request. I know it's late overthere... So, anytime convenient, I'm good!
Thank you once again.

Filanodivine:
But this police certificate is it really necessary? Cus I didn’t submit it in my application but still got approved.
Any need for it maybe in Canada or

It's not compulsory for study permit, but could make your background check smoother especially for a first time applicant.

In Canada, it's compulsory for some students in certain courses to show they have clean police record, even domestic students too must submit it. For me I did, and I'll still need a valid one before starting my program in September. It's mandatory for any program or course that requires you to work with minors in Canada.

Filanodivine:


Okay thanks, that mrs Ebere Omeji right

I don't know her name o... But she's been doing it for a lot of people here!

iamblessed17:
Hello house
Please advise me on airlines I can use to travel without needing a transit visa to Winnipeg , Canada
Thank you

Just make sure you look at the route before booking. Avoid any airline with transit in US or double layover in Europe.

atoke2021:
Hello. I want to send the passport for stamping.
I’m a bit confused about the transmission fee. If I am sending the passport of the Lagos office (we did biometrics in Lagos) should we still pay the transmission fee?

Thank you

You don't need any transmission fee if you're sending to where you did the biometric... But make sure you add the biometric slip with other documents!

atoke2021:
Congratulations. I’m at UVIC

Thank you.
In fact, since I've applied last year I've been asking who's studying or going to Uvic. I'm meeting someone for the first time... Please, I'll like to get some first hand information about accommodation and living in the City generally. Can I send you a mail?

Filanodivine:


How much

5k

Iffylove:
Same thing here, the passport was delivered to vfs on Monday. I was expecting them to send updates through mail as usual, but we have not seen any. Only the update from dhl that the passport was delivered to them.
So I mail them through info.cannig@vfshelpline.com and they responded the next day with a tracking ID.
So it's the ID I have been using to follow up on it.

Hello Iffylove,
I got a response with the tracking ID, but I'm surprised it's just showing under processing since Monday it got to them... Please, is that the same with yours?
Actually thought Abuja is faster!

atoke2021:

We are also in British Columbia- Victoria.

Hello, please which school in Victoria are you, Royal Roads or Uvic?
I'm going to Uvic next month for my Master

Richie4l:
Is there any way I could get police Certificate without having to go to Lagos ,anyone help please

Yes, you can.
Contact +234 806 360 7698.
She did mine and I didn't have to travel to Lagos.

nixymax:
If I borrow $40,000 from Mpower, will they credit my Canadian school 40,000CAD or 40,000USD?

Good afternoon all.

Mpower loan is in USD, even if your school is in Canada. So if $40,000 USD is approved, you'll get equivalent in CAD, something around $52,000 CAD

shams040:


why are you misleading people with the amount to be paid? some wrote 9410 you write 7430. which one should be believed?


The process involved in passport stamping:

Abuja Address;Visa Application Centre, sterling bank plaza, 3rd floor, plot No 1083, Mohammadu Buhari Way, Central Business District, Abuja Nigeria

Lagos Address; Visa Application Centre Ground Floor, The Manor Plot 110, Admiral ayinla way, lekki phase 1 lagos Nigeria

Requirement; if you did your biometrics in abuja, Theres no fee except for delivery fees.
buy an envelope.

IF NOT, You will first pay a transmission fee of N9410 to CANADA LOGISTIC COLLECTION account(0065165839) Sterling bank
Then print the receipt from your phone(coloured).

if you did your biometrics in lagos. Go to DHL closer to you and pay for 2-way courier and also pay for insurance to be sent to canada VAC Abuja, buy a fresh brown envelope and add the following NB; remember to give DHL a return address since its a 2 way courier

1.)put two photocopies of your passport data page(coloured)
2.)your yellow or white biometric strip(if you have misplaced these paper go to VFS so theyll sort you out). If you dont have the slip you can still send it regardless or you can add the BVL(biometric validation letter)
3.)Passport request letter
4.)1 copy of the consent form downloaded and signed( note u are filling and signing just the second page of your consent form)
3.)the passport itself
4.)one plain sheet of paper where you can write your Name, address, Email, phone number and signature
5.)one coloured copy of the receipt of the transmission fee payment

Cc: atite

I'm sure the intention was not to mislead anyone.
Few years back, that was the transmission fee. So, if anyone tries to help by posting the information, it may have been copied from the old post when the fee was ₦7430

nairagrounds:
Good morning all,

I pray that all PPR hopefuls will receive their good news soon, and all that are traveling for the fall will arrive safely in Jesus’ name.

I have a couple of questions, as I plan to book and pay for my flight this morning.

I don't want to go to Canada and start incurring costs since I can't start working until September.

1. I'm planning to travel soon, but I’ll like to know how many weeks will be enough to prepare for the start of the fall semester?
2. On which platform can I get the best flight ticket deal?
3. Which airline has the cheapest flight to Canada from Lagos?

I’ll appreciate your answer to these questions.

Thanks.

To your questions:

1. You'll be the one to determine what time will be sufficient for you to prepare. You should put in consideration, accommodation and other essentials you'll need before your first day in class. At the same time, the earlier you get there the more expenses you'll have to take care before school start.

2. Skyscanner, kayak and Google flights are usually the best site. But you'll be asked to pay in $$$ which may be difficult because of limit placed on Naija card. So, try Wakanow, you'll only pay in ₦₦₦. But be flexible with your travel date so as to get a better deal.

3. It depends on your final destination in Canada, if it is in Ontario, then I'll suggest Egyptair. And it's better to go to their office to book. Because they charge in $$, but you can pay in ₦₦ at their office with 444/per dollar rate.

I hope these help!

Where is your final destination?

ollatoye:
Good Morning Everyone, pls I need suggestions on which university in Canada I can apply with cheaper deposit fee( I mean below 2k dollars) and cheaper tuition fee for Msc.

The way you mentioned 2k as cheap deposit... Try and give a range you have in mind for cheap tuition for Msc, so that you can get responses.

But be aware that most times cheap tuition is relative to your program of choice.
For example, a Master of Art program may cost around $10k/per year, while in same school, MEng or MBA may be around $20k/per year.

omofela85:
thanks. Please what do they mean by temporary pin

I don't understand, temporary pin for what?

omofela85:
Good morning house, can someone help with name of cheap universities and colleges in Canada for undergraduate in Mechanical Engineering

Check schools in the province of Manitoba, they have relatively cheap tuition for undergraduate programs!

Filanodivine:

Vfs should be mailing you updates regarding your envelope ID number and you can also use it to track the activity in vfs website. That’s how mine was done and I didn’t fill any special notification stuff

Thank you boss.
I didn't get any update, but someone has dropped their email address, and I've sent them a mail. Hoping to hear from them by tomorrow.

francisxbee:

I think maybe you didn't write your email on the envelope you sent.

I actually did. Infact, email, phone number and address was in it.

Olanrae:


I sent mine to Abuja yesterday and i received 3 different mails from vfs this evening.

You should probably contact them

Calebbold:


Ask for your VFS tracking number from VFS and also asked them to tell you the current status of your passport .
VFS email: info.cannig@vfshelpline.com
They respond within 24 hours to their email.
Include your name and Visa application number to the email.

Thank you very much bosses, I'll do that.

Please guys, do VFS (especially Abuja) acknowledge receiving passport for stamping?
DHL tracking shows the passport has been delivered on monday morning - 9am, but till now I didn't hear anything from VFS.
Please, do I need to fill anything to get notification?
Anyone who recently sent passport to Abuja for stamping.

Amicableoga:
What does ghost update mean, please? I got an email that my status had changed, only for me to log in and nothing changed.

That's exactly what it means.

ActivatedDreams:



Please does this mean, If I’m using mpower and I equest for extra 20k CAD for my 2 years expense, I just tell the visa that my living expenses is already with my school with proof? And I don’t need to show any funds in my own acct ? Please help to understand!!!

Often times, either Mpower or not, it's advisable to show more than the required funds. This is just to convince the VO that you'll not be lacking during your study.
So, if the total amount of approved Mpower loan covers your tuition and living expenses, it's important to show some reasonable amount in your bank account. It's just a way to demonstrate financial responsibility to some extent.

MediaLady:


Sir, I think @Bobomaigida is right. The MPower officer that handled my request told me that approved loans will be sent directly to my school... I think I read every other thing Bobomaigida said up there either on their website or in one of the documents they sent to me.

I also noticed that MPower gave me the exact amount of my 2 years tuition alone. I used other financial sources for my living expenses and that of my family. In my SOP, I stated that my MPower loan is solely for tuition and it will be disbursed directly to the school.

Hello Ma'am, I think you didn't get my point.
Yes, all Mpower loan will be disbursed to the school, and the school will remove their tuition. They are obligated to give the student the remaining balance... There's nothing like a school partnering with Mpower but they can't release the living expenses, if the applicant got an approved loan that is more than the tuition costs...
For example, if you got a $20,000 loan approval, and your tuition is $15,000, there is nothing like the school won't release the remaining $5,000 to you.

In your case, if you requested for an amount more than your 2 year tuition and got approved, the remaining will be sent to your personal account after you appear in person at the bursar office in your school.

I do attend Mpower seminar online every week, and same question has been asked. The host said, all schools partnering with Mpower support it, and it's part of the things they look into before they finalize partnering with an institutions.

Iffylove:
Got updates now. Thank you

I sent mine on Friday too... DHL delivered it on Monday, but no update till now.
Someone said I should fill some things on vfs site to get updates, but I didn't see anything of such. Did you fill any separate form to get updates?
