[quote author=blesyndy360 post=128702632][/quote]This should be the reason it was sent back. So you have to wait for the PAL

[quote author=blesyndy360 post=128700008][/quote]When did you submit the application? Did you submit it without letter of attestation??

John39swill:
U ought to have received decision by now. Why don't you raise a webform regarding your application??

Processing time is 10 weeks. His application is barely 8 weeks.

jayciekey:
Hello all please I need some clarity. I am enrolled to study in Canada in September. I have gotten my study visa but I'm to leave in August.

Can I put in a SOWP for my spouse while I'm still in Nigeria? I'm supposed to leave in August

Yes you can do that immediately

Yawdan:
I responded to a PFL regarding a supposed fraudulent bank statement which its clearly not true(I got a letter from my bankers assuring it's genuine).Is it okay if I go for my medical upfront and upload it through Web form while I wait for PFL response?

Just wait for the PFL response. You should get a response max in next 2 weeks

Good evening house.
I have just been offered admission at University of Winnipeg Manitoba. But my question is I used flywire to pay for my application. But when I checked the rate now, the official rate is 1,119 but on flywire it's 1,250 which is quite outrageous
I'll like to ask if there's any other better means of paying.

Use cadremit. 1172 cad as today's rate.

Quick question on behalf of someone:

I'm currently enrolled in the Practical Nursing program at Georgian College, Ontario for the January to April 2024 semester and have been accepted into the same program at a Lethbridge college in Alberta, starting in September 2024. Is it permissible according to IRCC regulations for me to end my studies at Georgian College after the first semester in April 2024 and wait until September 2024 to begin my studies in Lethbridge? Specifically, what steps should I take to ensure my study permit remains valid during the break from April to September?

I'm changing school and province cos of family unification.

It depends. The person must not be out of school for more than 150 days. Let the person ensure they stick to this.

Vikkyexman:
Between USD2k to USD5k will do. In my case, it was USD5k.

Well, most times they don't even ask about the amount you have in cash.

Vikkyexman:
No one will ask you for POF of your second year. They can only ask you how you intend to pay for second year tuition fee. Ensure you have like USD5k in cash with you and show the balance in your phone or print your bank statement of 1 month with you.

Isn't 5K too much?

dopechoks:
good evening house... My wife recently applied for masters in a university in Canada.
Her uncle who also doubles as her boss has decided to sponsor her and is ready to provide all necessary documents. My question is after providing his statement of account and all, does she still need to show that she has funds for POF in her account or her uncles SOA will suffice?

She needs to submit her SOA showing she is working and earning consistent salaries. Then the uncle will have to demonstrate the availability of whatever funds he has by sending some to her acct to cover atleast 1 year living expenses

munchies:
Thank you for your swift response.

Because a friend is saying her agent is asking the husband needs to pay a certain fee to be able to get him a letter that will get him a work permit as a dependant to the wife who is going for masters degree soon.

Agent wants to reap them off

munchies:
Please I want to ask.
If a spouse is going for masters in Canada, is the husband required to get attestation letters from province for a spousal work permit?

Please I need answers.
Thank you

No. MSc or not, SOWP applications never needed letter of attestation. Only Study permit applications needed it

fattytima:
Hello everyone,I'm seeking advice regarding a situation with my husband's admission to a Canadian school last August. We applied for visas, which were granted. However, as a dependent, I have a visitor's visa and was informed that I could flagpole upon arrival before the new law. My husband is set to resume his studies in May this year. I'm wondering if it's still possible to change my visitor's visa to an open work permit upon arrival before September 1st. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

At this point, the new law is nor categorically clear on when the SOWP law takes effect. If it takes effect from September as propagated in the media, then you should be able to flagpole when you enter in May

Necksonnel:
I’m also asking about this ? Is there work in Canada that I can use to complete my school fee? I can afford the first year but not the second year fee

Nobody can give you response to this question na. So it's left for you to take the decision you want to take. In Canada, nothing is given. In same province people have complained about no job for months, some students have changed more than 2 jobs in btw.. There is no guarantees anywhere so you can't get the answer you are looking for here.

JapaPrince:
That admission is too fast, normally we would call it grace but I’d say you should investigate properly.
Check if
1. They are on the DLI list.
2. Go to Reddit and read reviews about the school.
3. Make sure it is not one of the so many diploma mills scattered within Canada.
Because there has been situations where schools loose their DLI status in the process. If you’ve been reading the news you’ll understand that Canada will put some schools out of business soon.

Na Fanshawe College you list all this process for?

Kenn55:
I think the reason why they are still hesitant is because in some Ontario govt programs for example, they define post graduate program as any program in which the entry requirement is bachelor's degree alone and not any other qualification
So most of the post graduate certificate programs won't fall into that category because their entry requirements is not for bachelors degree alone. They also admit people with diploma into those programs.
So I guess schools would have to be sure before making statements.

Yes. You have a point. They had better quickly address it if they have to make it clear that bachelors degree being entry requirement for post graduate certificate programs. That will be a huge progress.

Themillionman:
in the image above, what do they now categorize as other post-graduate programme

Just as you must have thought, same way I have assumed it covers post graduate certificate programs. However, several applicants offering graduate certificate programs have written to their schools for clarifications and not one single school has come out to clearly give an affirmative answer to such enquiry.

Tolifefun:
I spoke with two representative of schools here in Canada and I was told to go ahead with my application that it does not affect those that have LOA till 31st of March.

From ircc website. It was clearly written and doesn't need any other interpretation.

Tolifefun:
Sir, why is admission not on hold ?

You are more interested in attacking opinions without willing to learn. Admission obviously wouldn't be affected as letter of attestation is to be issued by provinces. Though the modalities are still been worked out and a deadline of March 31st at most to work out how the letters of attestation will be issued have been set. It's possible letter of attestation could come out before then. So chill

Tolifefun:
you want to show yourself, right? We sabi people like you. Did you read from the beginning?

Lol. You can imagine that all of a sudden, you are the only one that knows how to read from beginning or understand English. Something that's clearly written on ircc website

Tolifefun:
i disagree with you. The news was on 22nd of January. Provinces and territories are expected to establish a process for issuing attestation letters to students by no later than March 31, 2024

What exactly are you disagreeing with? Your response didn't even address the question asked. He submitted application on January 15th hence he isn't affected by the new law. So what exactly were you disagreeing with?

af0nja2000:
Pls with my admission in cimt can I work as I study in Canada? Cos I have already gotten visa.

If you already have visa then fine. Yes you can work and study like every other student

Footyarea:
Please people I need clarity,
In the attached snapshot taken from the IRCC website states that those exempted from the cap attestation letter includes the following:-

° primary and secondary students
° students of Masters, PhD and other Post graduate programs
As well as
° students applying for study permit extension


Now people,
My Question is as a Post Graduate certificate or diploma student am I also eligible for the exemption?
Please I need a response soonest

This particular question has been asked severally snd needs urgent clarification. I have even advised people to contact their school for clarification but none seem to have come so far.

ikgodisgood82:
Please dose this includes application submitted late last year

No

Bentricks:
When does this start? Because i heard Mac Miller say in the coming weeks…. Does that mean it is not yet implemented?

It actually expected to start from Septmeber 2024

dayjeee:
This new restriction, does it apply to post graduate diploma and cert? Cos some people are saying it's only masters and PhD that are excluded

You already answered the question. Only MSc and PHD are exempted.

charlesoz19:
your view is wrong. I'm telling you from experience that she can switch careers 10 thousand times as long as she has a legitimate reason to do so. I was refused 3 times before getting an approval. you can check my timeline. Please understand also that each application is treated on n merit not due to previous reasons. I have talked to people here who did not apply for anything related to what they study and they are here studying. You can decide to switch career because you feel the Job you doing now is worth improving through education. you can switch careers and then return to your previous career because you feel you have to return to your previous passion and build it again. we all have different reasons for career switch. Just present it in a way that reveals your true intention. The VO always use the word convenience because what you want is possible but he just doesn't believe it's your true intention. So convenience him and you will get it. Nigeria's education cant be compared to Canada education at the same time you can't present Nigeria's education as cabbage, you just say why you see the need to study in a developed nation where education is a top priority. Do your research and you will understand my view.

100%

Please what is the current rate of 1 Cad to naira?

Here

TunnyOgunnowo:
Hello, after you submitted, has the surge in exchange rate affected your POF? Going by currently exchange rate as at today January 14th (N713/$CAD), is your POF still sufficient?

And if not, what are your options?

I'm asking because I also submitted in December 2023 and as at when I submitted my POF was sufficient but now exchange rate is increased and my POF is now short about 500$CAD.

From my observation and little experience, Ircc use time stamp of the day you submitted to evaluate your application. So you don't need to be worried about the current rate. If not, many people that submitted before the January deadline will also be worried for the new POF for living expenses

amila20042001:
Applicant has not

Then you don't need to bother about it for your medicals.

amila20042001:
