It is not compulsory for you to get a response from the clinic that they have submitted.I never got any from IOm but they submitted my result on the 4th day after the medicals as they confirmed via email .. you can also send them a mail to reconfirm submission of your medical result. Also on your own side, submit the emedical sheet via webform. IRCC will definitely update your medical once they have reviewed it.

Congratulations to you bro...May Canada favour you, Amen. We are plenty going to Centennial College from this platform ooooo. I am also for January resumption. See you in Maple land by Gods grace, Amen



CalcreteJB:
To start with, I'm a first time applicant and more of a silent reader on the thread.

The idea of getting a PR erupted in my mind in 2019 and I decided to take IELTS where I had an overall score of 8.0 but somehow Covid 19 came by and affected all the plans and I abandoned it midway, the zeal was never really there because I had always been an advocate of "Nigeria is filled with milk and honey, we can make it better, why leave for another man's country", hence, it was easy to let go of the idea.

The next phase started in November 2020 when I suddenly got tired of the country and the way we were headed. I woke that early morning without having an idea of the country I wanted to travel to even if its temporarily, though Canada had always been in my subconscious, however at this point I was ready and determined to step out of the shores of this country for once. I went online and researched, then I came across Victor Ola's Travel Guide to Canada without IELTS and I bought it. I studied it for some days, did further research online and commenced application into Canadian colleges. I wished I had come across this thread before now.

I applied to Durham College - got rejected based on educational gap;
Algonquin College - got rejected based on educational gap
Confederation College - abandoned the application because they referred that they use agents

Centennial College - got admission a month after my application (submitted First Degree transcripts, Certificate, CV with 8years experience in Constructions, Consulting and facilities management) without IELTS though I had one and applied to study Construction Management. I was advised to defer admission till Fall 2021 if I wanted to come to Canada based on Covid 19 procedures, otherwise I will have to settle for online classes if i wanted to commence classes in May 2021, so i opted for Fall (Sept 2021).

I was first issued a deposit admission letter to be replaced with a full admission offer letter after making a payment of $2650 to secure a spot as I was advised the spots for the course gets filled very fast. I immediately made the payment and secure the offer letter a week later.

I started arranging the required documents needed to commence temporary visa application. I forgot to mention I already have first and second degrees in Civil Engineering in 2011 and 2017 respectively with 8years working experience. However, I could not include the masters certificate because of my College aspirations (got to know about this through the guide I purchased, thanks to the guide too)

DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED
1. Admission Offer letter
2. Deposit Receipt issued by school
3. SOP - a strong one, home ties was strongly established through father's company
4. Letter of Introduction by Sponsor - Father
5. Letter of Sponsorship - Father's company
6. First Degree Certificate
7. Ordinary Passport - a recent passport picture
8. Police Clearance Certificate
9. Father's company statement of account
10. Father's passport pages with visiting visas to UK and China
11. Company CAC and list of company directors
12. Passport data page
13. Wife's appointment letter showing remuneration
14. CV
15. Marriage Certificate

Online application was finally submitted on June 26th
Biometrics Completed on June 28th
Then came the dead silence for about 3months,

When it became evident that it's likely I don't get a response before school resumes in September, I wrote to the school requesting to defer my admission to January 2022 and it was acknowledged and granted with a new LOA issued after 2weeks. I didn't however upload this, I only requested incase IRCC requested for additional documents.

I was becoming impatient and I had to raise a webform on the 28th of September, then came the Medical request on the 29th of September. After raising the webform prior to receiving the medical invite, I became glued to my profile hoping for an update but there came none, I got closed the IRCC tab on my laptop and stepped angrily out of my office at exactly 12noon on the 29th and stepped out of my office only to come back 30mins later and saw a mail asking to check my profile, it seemed as the VO treating my file saw me when I got angry and left my office.

Medical was done at IOM Abuja on the 13th of October and I uploaded the document issued by IOM through webform on the 14th. IOM confirmed medicals was okay and has been transmitted to IRCC on the 15th with IRCC updating my profile to medicals passed on the same 15th of October.

I checked my profile like every second from the 15th till I suddenly got a mail on the 18th around 11am, my heart almost fell out of my mouth and I saw BVL, I almost fell off my chair with joy and I was expecting PPR since I had read in the thread that some people got their PPR immediately after BVL. The day eventually ended without the PPR in sight, then I became slightly worried again.

The PPR eventually came in on the 20th around 11am, I was in a meeting when I saw the mail and I could not concentrate anymore. I took a toilet break and went into my office, locked the door and the blinds and prayed first then i proceeded to log into my profile and with my heartbeat already racing twice than normal. There lies the PPR and I went down on my knees to thank God for the favor for I am a sinner.

@Jay316 @Scott99tish @SwayB @beedyboy

There goes the story folks, the ending and landing part will be concluded when all is finally tidied. Thanks for the patience and I pray all being expectant of their PPR will get it In Sha Allah.

Landing gist 1
Travelled on Wednesday 20th October, 2021 to Regina via Lufthansa airline
Flight was slated for 10:55pm. Arrived airport at 6:30pm in time for check in. My family was let in without any fuss ( they probably assumed we were all travelling together)




Travel / Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 20 by viviangogos(f): 8:14pm On Oct 22, 2021
Correct, noting that this clause is in the case of visa refusal. If an applicant just decide to change school for some other reason, it is actually non refundable. But it is still better to read refund policy before engaging with the school.



Bobomaigida:


The school will always say which fee is refundable or not, most deposit are applied towards the tuition fee so they are mostly refundable less administrative charges.
Travel / Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 20 by viviangogos(f): 3:08pm On Oct 22, 2021
I have read severally from people that have done GIC that you cannot transfer money to GIC account from your Naira account. It must be from your dorm account which means you need to source the dollar and put in your Dorm account for your GIC transfer.

Anyone that did GIC can help re confirm this..

All the best


Perfectyyyyyy:
Will bank use the same CBN rate to transfer to open GIC account?

1) for schools that offer your course of choice, use the below link to do your search:

https://w05.educanada.ca/index.aspx?action=programsearch-rechercheprogramme&lang=eng


2) Career / academic progression is an important aspect to convince the VO for a successful visa application. If you are currently working in a particular field, submit proof of your work and why the studies will help you in your career. If you are fresh out of school, then you need to show progression in your study area. However, people do change career but your SOP will be very convincing enough on why the change, job availability in country of residence, and what value the course will add to you and your country in other to have a successful application.

All the best.

Hello everyone,
Please I would like to know any link to schools in Canada that offer social welfare courses and details of the tuition fees.

For someone who studied business management course in Nigeria, would it be favourable when applying to for a visa for a role opposite what the person had studied at the University.


Also, what are the likelihood of getting jobs while studying and supporting oneself as a student over there and which city is more open to job opportunities?

Thanks in advance

Hello...congratulations on your PPR.
You can go ahead and submit your PP for stamping. The visa that will be stamped is valid for one year. And for September 2022 resumption, you should travel by August so you are still fine. For the change of course in same DLI, IRCC website was only particular about change of DLI inside and outside Canada and what need to be done. Except you see someone that have directly done this, to advice you better on any implications. Your best bet will be to stick to the fall 2022...

N.B- Please share timeline and documents submitted.

All the best


honeycandy:


Someone should please answer me biko. I deferred to September next year because the school informed me that the course won’t be available for Jan and May 2022. Except I’m willing to change to another course.

I don’t know what to do like this.

Thanks a lot again
Travel / Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 20 by viviangogos(f): 7:16pm On Oct 19, 2021
But really, tuition deposit is actually non refundable except in a case of visa refusal and this is a general rule for all schools. This is why it is imperative to read refund policies of schools before committing to them...

I really do not think an appeal can do anything here but you can still try that and see if there will be any positive outcome.

All the best!!!

Henriie:
Please guys I need advice on this . Please oo

I made tuition deposit of 2000cad to MUN but for my study visa I used an another institution to apply because I got their admission earlier. I will no longer attend MUN as I decided to stick with the school I gave ircc. I made an admission withdrawal to MUN and requested for my deposit back. I got this from them
"The Deposit is non-refundable except when the visa application is rejected. Please provide the visa rejection proof before your refund request can be processed further".

Is there no way of getting my money back? Can't I appeal against their decision? I was only issued an admission and its for January 2022. Never used the school for my study visa application.
Please help thanks

You can check out NBCC and NSCC, if you do not see a course you can do there, then you will go with the available schools. Except you get a fully funded thesis based program for MSC, Course based Msc will be difficult cause of the grade except MBA which does not come cheap. Generally, colleges in Canada are not exactly cheap shaa.

BenedictStinson:
Hi guys please I would like to know of any school that has an IT related PGD or graduate certificate Course of below 10,000 tution for international students. Cambrian, Fanshawe,Seneca, Centennial,Connestoga and George Brown range from #14,000 to 21000CAD.

I would think they can come from any part of the world. But the ones in Nairobi office, may particularly not be from Africa. Eg. At the US consulate, all the VOs there are whites, from their looks, I would see some are Asians too so they are not all particularly Americans.i feel to strike a balance, I guess the blacks if there are any, may be in some other continents too...
