Please house I need your advice.

I just received the document checklist from my husband showing that I need to provide, as a secondary applicant, my employment record (reference letter), which I had thought won’t be needed. Is there something we aren’t doing right because my work experience is not included in our CRS that got us ITA.

**My job is currently not open over covid**

I’d appreciate your advice. Thanks.

Good morning.

I am looking for who to swap date for medical with. I have booked with q-life, Lagos for medical examination for 9th of February. However that is beause february 9th was the closest date i could get on the portal.

I am pleading with anyone that has a date for january but can swap dates with me for february. I am supposed to submit my student visa application before 20th of january this month because of availability of funds.

I look forward to getting a feeback from you.

Thanks a lot.


Hi,

I see you already have a date swap for January.

Anyone else in need of a swap can send me a mail. My available date is the 18th. Not sure of another draw before then.

Hi ladyN,

So while i thought wes would take forever because of backlogs and paid for CES. Wes did my evaluation within 2 days and sent me the report.I am thinking i should just ask CES to do an academic evaluation instead.

Thanks a bunch

Oh wow amazing! Congratulations all the way.

That’s amazing! True, they don’t have access to their office right now, so they are fully committed to electronic transcript deliveries.

Keep in touch with them and all the best in your journey.

Hi LadyN,

What was your experience with CES. Did you follow up with them to update your information once you sent your documents? Not many people seem to use them . Very little feedback on their services.
Kindly advise how to follow up with them.

Thanks

Hello Faithyyyy,

My experience with them was impressive. I only had to follow up on them when I had issues with my school/ETX regarding processing and transmitting my transcript. Their turnaround time for feedback is fair enough. Once transcript got to them, everything else was a smooth-sail. They updated my info without further prompts.

I’d say they are very efficient especially if you’ll be sending your transcript electronically; that’s the only accepted method for them right now anyway.

Hope this helps.

I've been at the university for almost a decade now. University job is not solely teaching, but it also covers research and development. MSc study is part of his research duties to the university. Based on the rules and guidelines of working at the university, he has worked for three years. He is not doing anything fishy.

The main responsibility of a graduate assistant is to ensure he runs his/her research towards earning an MSc degree within the first three years of employment. Some universities will even terminate your appointment if you fail to earn an MSc within the first three years. Although he/she is on study leave, such a person is expected to affiliate his/her publications to his Uni. This covers his duty of "conducting research" If he has assisted in teaching during his first few months or when he comes for holidays (In my Uni we don't allow grad assistants to teach), his HOD can add that to his duties in the reference letter. He is expected to conduct any duty assigned to him by the HOD (for example while studying, depending on the level of understanding between the staff, you may be asked to assist with editing articles for journals hosted by the department, assisting with preparation for conference to be hosted by your dept, etc)

In recap, while he is filing for promotion, the years he spent on study leave will be counted as part of his years of experience, that is why NUC recommended that an academic staff on study leave could be promoted once while on fellowship.


This is just it! Thumbs up

Yes a study leave was granted with full payment of monthly salary and there are payslips and salary bank statements to backup.

As someone in a similar position, I don’t think you have any issue claiming 3years experience as long as your research is relevant to fulfilling your role as a GA. In fact you cannot progress in academics without further studies.

And in actual sense, while you were away gathering requisite postgraduate experience for your job, the university recognized you as their full-time staff. You were still EMPLOYED! Therefore, your job description during that 3-year period is covered by, and the same as your PG experience.

More so, if you have to sum your total work experience in academia, you wouldn’t subtract your years of study leave, will you?

Be convinced of these facts and present a strong justification in your LOE for the VOs review. Let the VO see a strong link below your job description as a GA and any technical skill learned/applied during your research.

Hello everyone, can my Msc education timeline be the same period for the 3 years work experience I am using. I am actually a Graduate Assistant in a federal university and I acquired my MSc in another university where I studied for 3 years. I left for postgraduate studies 5months after my appointment. Can I claim 3 years of work experience in the university despite the fact that I was running my MSc in another country. My HOD can give me the work reference.

A fat YESSS!

I believe the university gave you permission for study leave with pay, right?

In that 3years you used for your MSc, you were still fully employed! And I’m sure the university approved your studies on the grounds that you will apply your msc experience to your job upon completion! So technically yes, it does count as you were employed and while studying. Essentially your job sent you on training. Many federal workers know this.

Just ensure you include all relevant documents showing study leave approval, references, admissions letters and payslip during the 3year period; expressly state this in your letter of explanation.

Application submitted on January 3

You have to be patient. Some applications just take way longer than others to process.

Screenshot shows they’ve done background checks and eligibility test has commenced. So there is progress. So chill out and stop fretting.

When they are done with eligibility, they will send you feedback through bvl and final decision which could be closer than you think.

Thank you so much for your response. Its getting clear now. However, with regards to the bolded, i didn't say i wanted to apply for a visitors visa over a student visa. I meant that i currently have a visitors visa to canada which i haven't even used still valid for the next 3 years or so.

I understand you already have a visitor visa but what I don’t know is if one can have a valid student visa and a visitor visa at the same time which can be used intermittently (I really think not). However, having a visitor visa already will not affect or harm your chances of receiving a student visa. I made that point in terms of functionality ONLY because I think having a student visa gives you more privileges and its usage encompasses...and supersedes... that of a visitor visa. Besides your legal status in Canada will be “int’l student”, not visitor!

Regarding your 3yrs visitor visa, its validity will be running while your student visa runs. So if at d end of your program, your student visa has expired, and you still have some time left in your visitor visa, you can still use it to travel but you won’t have that 3years again oh. It’s (3 minus validity of student visa). Hope you get it though.

I wouldn’t worry my head over this anyway. Get the student visa first.

In any case, you can search through ircc site for clarity and others here can weigh in.

Thank you for your response. We both have visit visa's to Canada. Also two of our kids are American citizens as i gave birth to them there. Only my last child is Nigerian. My hubby does not intend to relocate, just to be able to visit us during my studies there. Will the visit visa suffix or should we include him in the family application. Also since two of my kids are US citizens, do they also need to be included in the family application
Since i have a visit visa to canada, will they cancel my visit visa to issue me the student visa?.

Also, what if myself and my last child apply alone . Can the other two US citizens kids join us later. Will they be able to school in canada With their US citizen status.

A lot to unpack here.

1. Neither of your kids can school in Canada with a US visa. Their American citizenship only gives them an edge in visa applications. You have to apply for a visitor visa for them separately (most likely) after your own student visa is issued.

2. I stand corrected but you cannot possess 2 different temporary visas. Student visa supersedes a visitor visa in purpose and function. What do you need a visitor visa for when you have a student visa? It’s not like data bundles where you have two subscriptions running concurrently.

3. Your hubby is all set with his valid visitor visa since he’s not relocating with you anyway. So no need to include him. He can be your family/home tie in Nigeria.

4. If you apply for v.visa for all three of your kids right now, you have to show sufficient funds to cover their schooling there. Pls refer to posts from page 80-95. You will see how those with kids applied.

5. If you apply for your Nigerian child only, you can use the other two as family ties to boost your application.

6. Your husband need not apply for a sowp if he doesn’t intend to stay with you at long stretches during visits. If he’s going to be spending more time in Nigeria than in Canada with you, what’s the point for a sowp?! That’s if the sowp regulation allows such use for an in and out traveler!). However, if he does apply right now (which means you also have to apply for your kids too) you won’t have a strong basis to prove family ties in Nigeria.

7. My advice, apply for yourself alone first, get your visa, apply for v.visa for your kids, then see how things go with your husband if he does decide to relocate too.

All the best and let’s pray Coronavirus doesn’t halt our plans.

Hello Gurus in the house. Canada just refuse my application for short stay. Submitted Jan. 31, Biometric validation yesterday and today I got a correspondence refusing the application, reason the ECO is not sure I would leave Canada after my stay.
Travel History, Poland, Egypt, Hungary, UK on 2 occasions and still hols valid 2years UK visa.
Documents submited
1.Letter of Intro from my employer(Multinationals comp)
2.6months statements of acct salary nd savings(over 2m in both)
3.Pay slips for 6months
4.Properties documents(one in Lag and 1 in my state
6.Hotel reservation and trip itinery
And other necessary documents
What can I do pls.

What are the other necessary documents you included?

Their reponse shows they are satisfied with your travel history, family and home ties, and personal assets, employment situation etc

So research more on how to strengthen your purpose of visit: did you attach a LOE? Do you have who’s inviting you? Was your daily itinerary vague and imprecise especially if you had no one inviting you over? Did you attach a provisional flight booking? What length did you specify for your vacation and did all written dates tally? Did you have a leave letter or did your employer indicate your approved leave and resumption date in your letter of introduction?

Work more on these and reapply again with a stronger and detailed LOE.

I think it is better to apply as a couple and show that the accompanying spouse can support him or herself. I had about 12k Canadian dollars in my account.
Also, I wrote an emotional SOP about keeping our family together.
Maybe we would have submitted more papers if we had known about this thread before our application. The only things I submitted that weren’t asked for were my car papers, statement of account and my travel history.
No police report, no marriage pictures, I didn’t even submit my employment letter.

Wow this is awesome! This is such a straightforward application and it’s super amazing to see one fly right through. It’s good to know you didn’t have to figuratively pull a hamstring in packaging a ‘perfect’ application.

Ircc has rules but at the same time, there’s no hard and fast rule. Each application is treated in its own unique way. Good thing you were persuasive in your LOE though.

Congratulations once more and go live life!!!!
