Morning NLanders, I mailed ACCRAIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca requesting for my POE letter yesterday, how long does it take for them to make d letter available? And secondly should I expect to receive the letter in my mail box or in MyCIC account?

The POE/LOE is nt necessary.Once you have your trv, you can come to canada at any time.They have all your info stored in their system.So for those getting worried, its nt a requirement. You pple shud relax

Am asking this on behalf of someone....Can an application be refused js 3 days after doing biometrics? He gt a letter of refusal today n he did his biometric on monday and the unusual thing baffling is that nofin was ticked in the refusal letter....strange!
Anybody don experience this kind thing before ?

Boss but I hear students can work immediately as they arrive... Or dis 3month wait follow?

If u r a student and u have ur work permit , u can start working immediately however its not always easy as it seems .u have to search for job first na n dat doesn't come easy as most new students dnt have the CANADIAN experience or canadian soft skills.

Anyways u can gt a job bt the ultimate thing is how u can joggle ur study with work. This can b done bt I wunt advise u to trade some few dollars with ur study. Rmber u r here to study n dat shud b ur main aim, getting the gud grades shud come first.

And I can bet, sch schedule n works will practically worn u off , u go see job n u go talk u no want.

Hello All,
I am actually new here but i'm sure from what i have read here, i would get the best of assistance from you guys.
My wife was issued an admission/acceptance letter from Regina University a couple of days ago.
I must confess, the tuition is very high (Cad$ 16,000) and we are seeking alternative school and or course as i write.
My thinking are that, since she can boast of a statement of account from a sponsor here (just to secure visa), she may defer the admission upon her arrival in Canada and go for a course that I can afford to pay for.
The other issue is that, I am looking at the possibility of joining her as well as our son as spouse and dependant child respectively in her application.
I will appreciate if you guys can give us your candid advise.
I am equally trying to get a six month sabbatical leave form work and intend to include the approved leave in our application.
I will like to know if it will be possible for me to secure a work permit also.
Lastly, I wish to mention that I have travelled to The Netherlands, Germany and UK in the past two years, my wife and son visited the UK this year. I currently have a valid 2 years UK visa while myself, my wife and son posses a valid 2 years American visa.
PLEASE ADVISE...

To be candid with u, the cheapest sch u can get to school in canada is memorial university apart from that I dnt thnk thrs any school below 10k in tuition fee for international student.
Applying to Mun will be ur best option bt then that will take time cos she will av to go thru the whole admission process again.
Coming with her wunt help, let her come 1st and after a semester in school she can invite u over with ur son.its easy that way. U can't get a work permit like dat, u will have to spnd almost 3months in canada 1st b4 u can apply for a working permit.
I hope this helps.

Make sense.. Am a note fan sha.. Know how to bargain hw enlighten me abeg. Na note 4 me wan buy dia lol... If money de sha... Contract tins lo let sheyyyyyyy

Kai take ur mind off contract things ooo make I explain how the contract things work.
say u won collect S5 now from Rogers now , u will pay $200 for the phone n sign 2yrs contract n u will have to be on a maximum plan,$90 per month. Now calculate aw mch the contract will cost u as a whole:
$200 +90 x 24months($2160) = $2360 total cost of ur contract for 2yrs b this( rmber u still av to pay tax on this)

Now other option: buy ur phone outrightly say $400 n u have a monthly plan of $45.
$400+ 45x24months($1080)= $1480 ( tax also will calculated on this)

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS....Saving almost $880 will gt u 2 new S5 which u can send home to mama n papa

eddy20:
how much is s5 there,and iphone 6.wich do u tink is better

To get cheaper deals on fones and anyoda stuffs u need...u have to make use of classified ads websites.
such as kijiji or Craigslist. Thats where u can stuffs for bargain.
I got my phone for CAD350 brand new which is far better than paying CAD200 to phone operator and be on maximum plan for 2yrs contract.
There's absolutely nofin free in oyinbo contract...u must read those contracts n fully understand the words or else u go pay soteh!

The iphone 6 fever don go dwn for here... lately bn seeing the price for iphone on kijiji n Craigslist for like CAD 700.
Choice of phone is a personal decision. If u like android go for android n if na iphone u like, go for iphone.

Also note to those coming ...dnt go for the highest phone plans, it doesn't worth it. U will have unlimited Internet in ur house and in ur school. Am on a plan of 500mb a month and I dnt use up to 150mb monthly. Sometimes I really think am bn 419 cos u use am or u no use am , u gast pay dat phone bill monthly.

kaynine59:
Flexing man na Samsung Note 4 u de use Ba... Na to wear thermal underwear and jacket body well na lmao

Na S5 bro! Cheaper here if u knw aw to bargain!

A taste of what winter is in canada and we are yet to reach the winter peak.
Note: forget the big -7 u r seeing. The main wahala is what it feels like. The small -14 degree Celsius is the real deal. Still in November n its already feels like -14 in toronto.
Anyway pple dey survive am

Hmmmmn 400billion? Am a major rice dealer and all my years in my biz, am yet to come across locally grown rice in NIG for the nigeria consumer.
Lies lies lies!
Come to iddo,daleko and sango....these are the rice depots of lagos n I assure u you wunt find a bag of a locally grown rice.
Or are they trying to tell me its ofada rice production that brought about ths 400billion in revenue.?
Both me n you knw ofada rice cant gross ths revenue.
We need to knw how they came about ths figures and where the local rice are bn sold to??

Before I 4gt a frnd sed the local rice is bn sold in benue state n it goes for 16k for 50kg bag
Imported rice from Thailand n USA cost an average of 10k for a 50kg bag.
I leave u with the math!

Opoki:
pls can i be penalized for uploading financial docs in the letter of explanation column cos its too massive and i had to split it into 2 while i plan to explain why i did so.

You cant do that bro! No matter how big n large ur documents are, merge n compress dwn to 4mb. Thr r various software u can use online to merge n compress documents. People r just lazy to do proper research.

Just a friendly advise to those coming to canada....book the cheapest flight u can ooo, those extra amount u save can really go a long way in helping u here. No go forming big boys n be booking British airways,Lufthansa,klm n co because u want to pass thru big european city ooo.
Book egypt, Ethiopia or turkey airline... ths are really cheap airlines n trust me dey are as good as ths so called expensive airlines.
Importantly if u think u have no reason for coming bck home in d next 1yr....book one way ticket.
Egypt air do sell one way, dnt get ursef confuse by airlines do not sell one way. Go to egypt air office in Vi n show dem ur visa n school acceptance letter, they will issue u one way ticket.
I came to canada thru egypt air n I love the whole experience only comma is dat I dnt like too many hours as stop over in an airport.
Ever since if I have to leave n come bck to canada, I go thru ethiopian airline cos it has js an hour stop over in Ethiopia and mehn ethiopian airline will kill u with food ...the food jz keeps coming n neva stops. Also guess wat ethiopian airline operates the new dreamliner 787.dats the newest plane u can fly arnd.
Be wise and save money oo...Bills here be like cossy boobi

Morning boss,
I'm not sure I get you correctly. Who's the student? You or her? As in are you asking about how she can accompany you while you study or how you can sponsor her to Canada to study. Both are possible and in both cases, you will need to submit your marriage certificate along with the usual complete study permit app requirements. You will also need to show substantial available funding in your statement of account, to cover the total living expenses for both of you. I hope this helps. The house is here to share other opinions.

Am the student. It happens that am gonna b extending my stay here in canada soon and am hoping to use that as an opportunity to apply for my wife visiting visa since I can invite her. The main issue am having is that I answered the questionnaire on cic to knw what documents to submit ....the only document requested is our wedding certificate for her. Am ok with my own documents applying for extension. Am jz curious they r nt asking for her job letters, acct n so on . Here see the snapchat of the documents required

The 1st snap is for me. The 2nd snap is for her

Pls house, I need help from someone who had gone thru applying or sponsoring their wife to canada as a student. I need the list of documents submitted because after goin thru the cic questionnaire , the only document requested is our wedding certificate and as we all know the online application can be trickish at time. Do I need to submit more documents or I shud jz submit wat am asked for ?
Any opinions will be appreciated! Thanks
