Hello Nairalanders, i have some news for y'all. though this my first time of posting a reply on this forum but i have been following this thread carefully because i applied for a study permit to Canada too and my start date is Sept 6th. However thats not the news, the news is if you have an American Visa, you can travel to america and apply to the embassy there, it takes roughly a month. I would have done the same too only that i found out about it late. So i think i just gave a future applicant a heads up! |

easye2011: haha that kind thing persin go stretch leg tire. Thank God for your safe arrival! Pls Which airline did you use and what was their fare? Did you fly Straight to Edmonton or was there a connecting flight in Canada? As for accommodation did u book b4 flying?, was it an issue at POE? |
Re: Travelling To Canada by easye2011(m): 1:33pm On Aug 28, 2011 |
@isO_Savvy: i dey tell u, leg dey pain person. i used KLM from Abuja to Amsterdam and then from Amsterdam to Calgary. the total fare was 380knaira. there was no problem at the POE, they just requested only the letter from naija embassy and then i was issued a study permit |
Re: Travelling To Canada by Delta007(m): 1:34pm On Aug 28, 2011 |
isO_Savvy:There's no direct flight to Edmonton. You'd either need to connect in Europe and sometimes, may have to connect again in one of the big hubs (Toronto or Calgary). |

Wealth21:Not true. If you apply thru the consulates in the US, you'd still need to do medicals and it could take 3months or more. |

Re: Travelling To Canada by Delta007(m): 3:27pm On Aug 28, 2011 |
@Wealth, feel free to believe what you want to based on one case. Normally, you could get a study permit approved same day. However, since you (or your friend) come from a tropical country, you have to do medicals. This is where the delay lies (if you apply outside Nigeria). Even if you do the medicals same day you get the instructions to do it, it takes a couple of days for the DMP to send it to the regional medical centre; some DMPs could take a week or two to send the applications off. The regional medical centre for Nigeria is Paris and the centre for applications from Canada, US is in Ottawa. This centre in Ottawa is backlogged; it has been backlogged for years. The bulk of their applications are Permanent residency applications from within and outside Canada (North America) and study permits are a very small fraction. Immigration consulting is what I do. I have clients applying from all over. The average SP application from the US is 2-3months; there have been some outliers (shorter and longer) but you do not base your advice on outliers. isO_Savvy:Alberta is a funny spot. The bulk of the business go through Calgary just like Toronto and Ottawa. Good luck with your application. |
Re: Travelling To Canada by Wealth21: 3:38pm On Aug 28, 2011 |
@Delta 007 well you may be right, however this is from what i saw happen. There are always possibilities, the info is for people that may not want to apply in Nigeria. And a confirmation to what you said, his medicals results were sent to canada as well and he was even given a copy. There are always exceptions, but i believe their processing time would be faster than ours here. |

Re: Travelling To Canada by cindel07: 12:56pm On Aug 29, 2011 |
@guddy, i did my medical on 29th of july submitted my application on 13th may and my TRV was issued on 25th of august 2011, no i wasn't asked to pay any fees |
Re: Travelling To Canada by lee007(m): 1:01pm On Aug 29, 2011 |
Dear peeps pls i need some clarification, I did my Medicals on the 8th of August and still expecting to hear from them , I have sent serveral mails and all they tell me is to wait. however the issue is that i applied together with my accompanying spouce and i was told that her application won't be reviewed until mine is completed and we intend to leave together. My thought is to postpone my resumption till january(since am am already almost late for resumption which is 6th sept) while i ensure that her own application is completed before then. However am not sure what the embassy does in cases like this, or weather they will start working on her application upon postponement to january, I hope i can find some answers, Thanks! |

Her application is dependent on yours, since you are the primary applicant. If you are approved, there's a high possibility that your spouse's application will be approved. I'd visit them on Thursday or Monday next week to find out the status before I defer the admission. Goodluck! lee007: |
