Hi everyone, I will be writing my TCF exam next month, please does anyone know any good tutor that can offer 2 weeks intensive revision classes online.

Good evening everyone,

Please has anyone sent their passports to Abuja and received it on time in the past 1 week. My mum wants to send her ppt, but I am bothered due to this security alert and US pulling out their workers, if it won't affect Canada Visa stamping, or what do you advise please, she is really pressed with time.

Makibarbie:

Please what documents are required to send passport to Abuja if biometrics was done in lagos. Info needed urgently to send passport out today. Thank you.

Thank you all for the pointers on passport submission.

Here is my full gist.

I landed in Canada in April and hubby applied for visit visa for himself and our 3 year old daughter in March before I left Nigeria. He updated his profile with my SIN and ID Card via webforms when i got to Canada in April. The plan was for them to come for summer vacation, but after about 2 months of no update on his dashboard, we started sending mails and webforms to Nairobi, our first GCMS note came out in June with no major development on our application aside from criminality passed in March, then I contacted MP. The feedback was the same as the GCMS note and that it's still within processing time, that nothing can be done , so we should stil wait it out. We continued to send mails and webforms and at a time hubby sent mails to all the visa office emails he could find here (about 50+ of them) still, only few responded that he should direct any enquiry or webform to where our application was being processed (Nairobi).

All through the process, we continued in prayer and thanksgiving relentlessly.
Last month i contacted another MP after the first MP became unresponsive. He spoke to IRCC on our behalf and told us that, our application was just with other routine application and nothing major is going on with it, that also there is backlog with the processing office, he put in an escalation request, and 2 days later, they requested for consent letter. A week later we received our PPR......Glory be to God forever more. GOD came through on time for us. I return all thanks and Glory to Him, for Jesus never fails.

Documents submitted

Detailed LOE/SOP (about 4 pages)
POF (Bank statements, with mybankstatement tickets) and explanation of major money movement in and out of the accounts.
Travel History: He has been to the Uk twice and the US twice in the past 7yrs, but our last application to Canada and US in 2019 were both refused.
Land docs
PFA Statement
Financial investments
Vehicle Proof of ownerships
Introductory letter from office
Leave Letter
Marriage Cert....

In All, my advice from our experience: No two applications are the same, there are different factors, different history, and different cases, but You have only one major job to do as an applicant, convince the VO on three grounds, and rememeber only you can tell your story passionately.
You need to think as a VO and convince them that
1)You are financially capable
2)You have hometimes: i.e what draws you back to your home country is greater than an uncertain beginning in Canada, you have to prove this either by, family back home, a thriving biz or Job, social engagement, and may be evidence that you have never breached Immigration laws in the past.
3)You are a bona-fide visitor, student, or whatever you have applied for.

Lastly and Firstly, commit everything in God's hand, ask him for guidance and Favour, and even if you don't get it, seek for his direction again and reapply.
May the Lord grant all those wating for their PPR sooner than they expect it .

Thanks and Cheers to this community.

Its possible to enter with visitors visa and apply for study permit within canada. My coursemate did it and was approved in less than a month. Though it takes time to receive the permit print out (the one given at border). Its sent via mail to ones address and without it, you can't apply for SIN, Health card or get job.

Fave12345:
Good afternoon guys. I must commend your efforts on this community. Nice work guys.

Please is it possible to enter Canada through visitor visa and convert the visa to something else

Hello Iffylove, please where can I get the list of documents?

Iffylove:
Have you tried to forward the documents listed for spouse of international students to them?. maybe it can expedite it just as they have said.

The only time you break the rule is if you don't declare. I declared my cash (over 10k USD) and had no issues. It wasn't even checked both in 9ja and CA.

Calmdancer21:
I really appreciate you all for taking time and answering my questions please how much USD maximum can I travel with me without breaking any rules considering USD to CAD conversation rate.
Please is urgent thank you

Hi, I'm in NW. Sent you an email.

Sayo12345:
where in Calgary are you am also in Calgary we can link up

No it's not required if you are fully vaccinated. Most countries/organisations have relaxed their covid protocol but you can check with your airline.

ciaj0:
Please, did you have to do covid test before flying out of Nigeria (was it required)?

LANDING GIST
Thanks to everyone on this platform for making this journey a reality, all informations shared are truly appreciated.


LAGOS TO CALGARY

I flew KLM on the 20th with stopover at Amsterdam. Flight was for 10pm. Got to the airport 6pm and was done with check-in by 7pm. Documents checked were just intl passport, arrive CAN and covid vaccination card. Said my goodbyes to family around 8pm and proceeded to gate.

Boarded aircraft 9:50pm. Flight was smooth, was so tired so couldn't watch movies available. Just ate and slept. Food was just there, nothing special, can't even be compared to Emirates. Touched down AMS 30mins earlier than scheduled landing then had 6hrs+ layover.

At AMS, document check was only intl passport and arrive can receipt. Boarded the flight, continued my sleep, ate and binged watched movies. Again food wasn't all that, snacks was OK though. Flight was for 8hrs and landed safely at YYC.

Proceeded to the self service machine which was pretty straight forward then joined the short queue for immigration. Thankfully, it was just our flight that landed at the time so it wasn't so rowdy. Was my turn at immigration and only self service ticket, vaccination card and intl passport was requested. Was asked about food and cash and I declared all. Cash was above 10kUSD but it wasn't checked. For food, immigration wanted to be sure there was no milk/diary product or meat products. I declared Mt stock fish and spices but bag wasn't checked. For vaccine card, my name was written at the back and not front of the card (No thanks to the health worker that registered me in 9ja) so immigration was skeptical and requested I take a covid test on site. All this was done in 5mins or less.

Picked my bags and proceeded to another area to get study permit and boy the queue was long with just one officer readily present. PS, I was the only 9ja waiting for SP, 98% were indians. Waited 3hrs to get to my turn. I was asked for only intl passport and my Letter of Introduction from Ircc. When it was ready, I checked right there for mistakes on the SP but still missed a vital one, expiry date of permit.

I deferred admission and sent updated LOA when I received PPR but the TRV came with old LOA end date. I was going to get it sorted with SP at point of entry but forgot. PLEASE GURUS, KINDLY ADVISE ON HOW TO RECTIFY THIS.

After collecting my SP, proceeded to exit for the Covid on arrival test. Thank God it was a surface swab and not too deep in my nostrils because i have never been a fan of that test. I was done in 2mins+ because I pre-registered with switch health. Left the airport after this and proceeded to my Airbnb.

Papapa1234:
Even though its advisable to pay first..so many people have also applied with their kids and got the visa..na your money and your packaging go determine..

Hopefully I would have gotten direction when I get to this bridge. Thanks for the info.

[quote author=Olutoke86 post=103002695][/quote]Woooow, I'm looking forward to reading your testimony. It will really encourage people like us.

Fortuneforever:
If you have the time between your admission and resumption or you are not in hurry and dont mind deferment if it goes left? you can try with them and see what happens. Then next time apply alone.

Like it has been said including them is not easy but it is not impossible. You will have to show sufficient funds, and proof in detail how you plan to care for them during your studies and then a rock solid home ties but still it will all fall in the hands of the VO and God's grace.

My 2cents

Many thanks for your suggestion and enlightenment. Truly appreciate.

Akannitommy:
I will say apply for visiting for the youngest along with your own study permit and then prepare to provide a plan/explanation for taking care of the kid while you are studying - paid creche etc. - in your application.

Thanks alot for the advice. I will definitely consider this.

Akannitommy:
What are the ages of the kids (because google & dem oyinbo say "toddlers" na pikin wey be btw 1 - 2 years old)? Children under 4 years old cannot apply for study permit - only visiting. Our common advice here is for the principal applicant to apply first for themselve, travel to resume study, before trying to add family. But there have been a few exceptions who applied with family and got approved. Generally, the chances of visa success for family going with student is very low but not impossible.

Lol. Oyinbo english and wahala. One is 2yrs and the other is 4yrs. Kai, it's so difficult to leave them behind. Thanks so much for the info, much appreciated.

Kokopuff:
good day, I am new to this thread and have a few questions to ask plz. im a gradute of international studies and diplomacy from benson Idahosa university 2015..I wanna go for a pgd also but haven't made up my mind on the course of study and school, also I have a blood sis in Ontario and a brother in Alberta..also im married with 2 kids, hubby will be my sponsor, he won't come with me but the kids will... please ill need a honest reply and advise....thank you so much guys.

Good evening everyone, please can you advice on applying for visa for 2 toddler kids alongside ones study permit application. What are the chances of getting all three applications approved? In my case too hubby will be the sponsor and won't be coming. thanks

Sapte:
If you have an undergraduate degree already go for masters of PGD.

Hello, is it advisable to apply for a college diploma degree when one already have a masters in similar field... The diploma is specific and detailed while the masters was general. what are the chances of getting visa approved? Thanks

100% true.

captainhoo:
Read on another forum that the online score will change if your test date still shows in the drop down menu. You can try it. When did you apply for a remark ?? Mine is over 21 days, still no mail about it

Good morning everyone.... Biko this question is for NOC gurus. Just for confirmation, what is the best NOC for a Laboratory Analyst in chemistry field? NOC 2211?

Really? That's great. The IDP staff I spoke with said I have to give the person my original passport. They keep giving different info. smh

venorite:
Well my friend’s was picked up without his original passport. He just wrote a letter and attached the photocopy of his passport

The form will be filled when results are out and you choose to use courier.

Yes, someone can pick up on your behalf but the person MUST come with your ORIGINAL international passport. They said it's company policy. So until you find the passport, your best option is courier.

venorite:
I didn’t fill a form.

Also I saw on their notice board that it can be picked up by someone

For IDP, there is an option of them sending it via paid courier once you fill a form and send to them via email. Not sure of BC process.

venorite:
Can’t I send some one with photocopy to pick it up for me
