Hello house,my brother got a student visa at the university of manitoba,but flight from Lagos to Winnipeg airport is very expensive,is it possible for him to land in Montreal airport and find his way to Manitoba from there

Yes. Alternatively he can also land in Toronto and find his way to Manitoba. You will need to consider the additional cost of the local flight to Winnipeg in both cases.

[quote author=RukayatAkanji post=125123896]Hello everyone,
Pls my brother gained admission in a university in Canada. The start date on his admission letter is May 2023 but he's preparing to join by Jan 2024. On the letter, the sch has also indicated that he can resume either by May or Sept 2023 or Jan 2024. My question now is should he request another admission letter from the school that'll show Jan 2024 start date or he can present the one currently with him which has May 2023 start date at the embassy.

The existing letter will suffix. A student is permitted to resume on any of the 3 resumption dates stated on the lacceptance etter. Just keep the school posted on the changes. I guess there also used to be a 150 day rule whereas if you defer admission by 150 days you also have to inform IRCC. The experts can advise better.

Good morning everyone,please I have a question. The school I got my admission is in mantoba, and I am to resume September 6. But the problem is I have family in Toronto and I feel i I be more comfortable there since I am going alone with my son. Please who has an idea on what to do to change school to one in ontairo, and how will I let the embassy know I am changing schools

Get to Canada, before changing school. Change of school outside Canada will entail starting the visa application all over. Wait for the experts tol shed more light

Lolatomi090:
Hello can anyone pls assist with this?

If the result of your medical examination shows this

Evidence of Tuberculosis: Present

Are there any suspicious active signs of Tuberculosis: No

Please can one be denied on this basis of this? Having stated that there is not active sign of TB

PLS HELP! Thank you everyone.

NO. Application will be approved if it meets the eligibility criteria. Worst case scenario you will do a sputum test and thereafter a final X-ray which delays applications by 3 -months.

Hello house ,
My tuition is 17k and I have bin able to pay 9k. In my calculations I should have 30k cad but I have only 27k including the tuition I paid for. Does anyone have less than 30k cad and was approved visa?

My father would be sending money to me . Will he need to provide a statement of account or gift deed is OK?

A letter of support, affidavit of support, bank statement plus bank reference letter as well documentation for the source(s) of the fund from Father will help. A gift did is also okay, but personally prefer the first option.

Hello All, I need your advice. I applied for a Study permit to study at McGill University, Montreal Quebec. I used a POF of almost $200,000 CAD but the immigration officer still did not grant the Visa. Now I want to try another province. Which province and Universities are best now for getting Study permits?

Work more on the documentation for the source of the POF.

Pristine664:
Please don't risk it. You can change it when you enter Canada.

Change of School outside Canada, you will need a new visa application. But you can change course within the same school

Mrsam12:

babepink:

A HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT was requested, what is the process of getting it?
Thank you

You go to your secondary school and request for SS 1 up to 2nd term SS3 transcript.

Bambi222:
please concerning this proof of fund after landing, how do you prove this if you have a sponsor? Do you carry a bank statement or what im really confused?

Carry copy of the documents used as POF- letter of sponsorship, affidavit of sponsorship, bank statements etc.

chrisifeanyi:
Please, the bank account in my payslip, must it be the same with the bank I'm using for my POF? I am using Globus bank for POF while my salary account is UBA. I'm showing some of my payslip. Thanks

If you use Globus, endeavor to also include UBA in the attachment so the VO can see how the amount in the payslip hits the UBA salary account monthly.

sunkanmi2211:
But what do you think I do I’m just tensed I can’t just stand another rejection

Just be positive. Hopefully it will come out good this time around. While delay does not signify anything whether good or bad, rejection tends to be swift especially after medical update.

Nwokolo100:
Hello house,

Wanted to know if proof of funds must start at the beginning of the month or can it start at a random date within a month.

It can start anytime within the month

Fulani14:
Good morning pls do I need a transit visa for Frankfurt airport enroute to Winnipeg

Transit visa is not required for Frankfurt - to Winnipeg, as long as there are no other stop in Europe from Nigeria.

Chiziteremary:
Thanks so much TradeSunMoore. He has gone for a 2nd xray. He didnt book. He just walked and did the Xray, that was done over a week ago but we havent recvd any result of the sputum test. They said sputum test takes 10weeks to come out. Please how long did your daughters sputum test take before it was released.

They are giving us any info, either sputum test or 2nd xray. Please how many Xrays did your daughter do. My hubby has done two

8 week. But 8 -10 weeks is what the SOP stipulates. The sputum culture was negative. Because idea of a second X ray is just to confirm the negative sputum. Tthere will have been no need for a final confirmatory x ray (2nd Xray) if there was growth. She did one on the day of the medical as expected and the 2nd 30days after sputum. But on that day she did it twice as the initial one was not clear. The clinic will not give any result, I had the contact of a staff , that I was calling for update. All thing being equal the medical will be updated soon. Some systems/staff are just more efficient than others

Chiziteremary:
Guys pls i have question. Dont know how to handle this issue. My hubby was asked to do sputum test and additional xray by Qlife VI. They said result will be out in 10 weeks. This week is the 10th week but they havent said anything about the result. They just said they will contact him when result is out. Please who do u think we should do about that.

I will really appreciate a response.

My daughter had similar issue but with IOM. First you have to call the clinic for the outcome of the sputum test. I guess it will be negative. The IRCC SOP states a final X -ray 30 days after the negative sputum culture. So during the call you agree a date for the final X ray. We did not have to book, was told to walk in. After the X-ray, IRCC updated medical to pass same day on the portal, before we got home!

isangjohnson:
Please, what effect will it have with someone having asthma?

I do not think it will be a problem. They focus on TB due to the infectious nature. Asthma is not a communicable infection.

bennaz:
Pls help. I did my medicals on 7th June at IOM Abuja and I was asked to come for further Sputum testing for tuberculosis, test lasted 3 days, result will be out after 9 weeks. Pls what's the impact of this on my application, and how long will it affect my application process?? Pls anyone with same experience should help

You will be approved if you meet the eligibility criteria just that it will set you back 3months. My daughter had similar situation in 2021. After the 8 weeks and sputum comes out negative, you will do a final xray a month after. Once you clear this your medical will be updated to pass and application finalized.

Good Evening All,

I have been following this thread for a couple of months now.

We got served breakfast for my son's application for the following:

I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as required by paragraph R216(1)(b) of the IRPR (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/section-216.html). I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will leave Canada, based on the following factors:
• Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).
• Pursuant to paragraph 220(b) of the IRPA, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient and available financial resources, without working in Canada, to maintain yourself and any family members who are accompanying you during your proposed period of study.

Main Details:
Minor 16+ years
Total POF N21.3m (about CAD62k at the time).
Total Cost: Annual Tuition of CAD17.2k, Living CAD11.5k, Others CAD3k and Flight 3k
4 years course duration

Timeline:
submitted on May 15, 2023 with upfront medical done and passed and refusal came yesterday June 17, 2023.

Main concern: School didn't require tuition deposit and none was paid. A lumpsum of N7.8m entered days before submission but sponsor account has in and outs of that range. letter of bonus payments was provided

Have submitted request for CBSA Gcms note today but timeline is really tight as admission is for Fall 2023.

It is quite easy to get approval for minor if things are done right. I used a 12M POF and my 17 years old daughter was approved in 2021. Always better if it is the parents. What are the sources of the 21M?. and what documentation were provided to support the relationship and the source of the funds?. Where will payment for subsequent years come from? Etc.

Teeebabyyy:
Hello Everyone,
I would greatly appreciate if someone could share the list of documents required for study permit application of a Minor(15years).
I understand there might be additional documents required which may be different from that of a regular study permit application. Any input will be appreciated.

Once you fill the checklist on GCKey, it will come up with the required documents. The additional documents for a minor will be a custodian declaration form (Can be downloaded from IRCC website) to be filled by a guardian in Canada and Parents in Nigeria and notarized on both sides, as well as a consent letter from non-accompanying parent.

arie7:
It’s not bringing out any selection on the branch box, typed all the branches in Lagos still not going through.

Also check your internet connection. Poor internet may give rise to this issue.

dtrixna01:
pls is it compulsory to connect with the bank branch ?

Yes. It is processed at the selected branch. So you need to engage them for review and approval.

navidennis:
Good day guys, please how long does it take IOM to upload medical results to IRCC, this is a week after my medicals, yet no update from IRCC about receiving results.

IRCC will not send an update. Monitor your application, once IRCC works on the your application the Medical section will be updated to Medical Passed. You can call IOM to be sure it is sent.

Rapujoshua:
Please anyone can help please.

Also pls my sponsor is in USA, do I sworn affidavit of sponsorship and relationship here in Nigeria.

First you create an account using your email linked to your BVN. Next you apply for Form A by uploading all relevant documents while selecting your bank and preferred branch. Once submit successfully, then you get in touch with the bank branch you selected for review and approval. Once approved the waiting begins.

subzheero:
Good afternoon I received letter of acceptance from Conestoga yesterday. From the LOA the mode of school fees payment is flywire ,convera and others. However, I want to use bank Form A which is cheaper but the school account details weren't states on the LOA........should i contact school for bank details or anyone who has gone through Conestoga admission and payment process should kindly enlighten me. Thank you

You will generate payment invoice on flywire or convera for your school and use the information to fill the form A on the CBN rade monitoring platform. Once Convera recieive the payment they transfer to the school. BUT that can take 3- 4 months going by the current timeline for form A

anori:
Good day guys, I need advice. I already got the study visa and it already started counting since April for a September course. If I wanted to go some months ahead of September to visit family do I get a separate visitors visa?

There is no set timeframe to travel to canada on study visa. However you have to consider factors such as cost etc as you are not allowed before commencement of your study , also be ready to answer question from immigrations. Advisable time is a month or thereabouts.

thebabiebird:
Good day everyone,
Please I submitted my passport through DHL on Friday and it was delivered to VFS on Monday. Till now, I am yet to get an acknowledgement email from VFS. I'm getting worried, please what can I do? Please I would really appreciate any guidance. Thank you all

Very likely there is an error -misspelt or missing letter in the email provided during biometric. Once yo contact cVFS to amend the email the acknowledgment will start coming in

Rapujoshua:
Okay thank you very much, I thought I would get a mail or something from IOM after the medical. So I should just upload the my Medical information slip I was given at the medical center.

Yes. Nothing more.
