Mpower has few schools they support in Canada, go to their site n check if your school is among the school they support,if it’s among them you’re eligible for Mpower loan,
Their repayment is 10yrs
It takes like a week bfr approving the loan…. The loan will be disbursed to your school account few weeks bfr resumption … you can use the loan approval letter to apply for study visa; but I’m yet to meet who they gave visa with Mpower loan �

My school is eligible but I’m scared of taking the loan since repayment is 10yrs … how will I explain to the visa officer that I took a loan and the repayment is 10yrs when I’m still trying to convince them I’ll come back to my country after study….

Hi, would it be okay to attach travel history documents(ie old passports n visa stamps) to the allocated space for Applicant’s Intl Passport on the new IRCC portal ?

Anyone used the new portal done it this way? And got approved?

AbionaT:


N @ Markay23
It depends on the time you submit an application to the school
Like for fall 2023 now you need to submit an application to school let say September 2022.
Well, that's how I did mine Sha.
Peace

noeloge82:


Just relax you book for your biometrics online and get your request letter once your application have been successfully submitted

Danikcm:

Do you have to tell the visa officer that you took a loan? Go with your sponsors statement of account, and keep mute about the loan.

itsmolep:


This is totally false.
The vaccine is Free!!!!!!!!!

Halyshia:
when last did you go for medicals? I had mine last week at qlife and people without vaccine was asked to pay extra around 50 something thousand instead of the usual #46,500, so don’t say what u aren’t sure of, and u can see where I said normal healthcare is free

Teemenzo:


Vaccine collection everywhere is free. QLIFE could add that to their policy as they have increased their fee for medicals so please misleading information shouldn't be shared. Till today, Covid Vaccine collection is free at all collection centers. There are centers that have been collated by NCDC which you can see online
Thank you.

Not only Nairobi. My first refusal decision came from Accra.

LONGGGGGG POST ALERT!!!

Guys I really do not know where to start from!
I'm short of words. God's just too good to fail.
I'm still in shock cause I can't really fathom why my application was this quick or why I was just favoured, but I give God all the glory! For he alone is to be praised!

I've been following this thread for about 4yrs now. Just observing with no plans to submit my application. Was just here for the information basically, and to read people's process (which I enjoyed doing) didn't even know I'd eventually apply.

Time came for me to apply, I was scared to the Bone! I was scared to doing it myself! My sponsor (brother) literally begged me to look for an Agent to handle my application, I was skeptical at first, but I succumbed cause I didn't want any issue or stories that touch.

I contacted an agent on this platform, he charged me 150K for admission and 250K for Visa. My sponsor agreed to pay for the first stage (admission). Las las I eventually paid 190K for only admission!!! Only school admission ohhh!!!

Then it was time for Visa Application, and I was told Visa Fee has increased to 300K. And I was like hell No!!! I no go school? Am I daft? No! I can do this shi# myself. 300K no be 300 naira.

That's how it began, took a leap of faith and decided to do and handle my Visa Process myself, and God blessed me with the GOLDEN Mail (PPR)! Guys please do this stuff yourself!
You can do it! Yes YOU! You can!
There's nobody else that cares about your application than you! You don't need any agents NAIRALAND is the real deal! NAIRALAND taught me everything I know and used to get my Approval.

In all, it's been God. God did it for me. And he'll do it for everyone here. Cause he knows why we're here and what we're looking for.
I'd also like to use this medium to appreciate Teemenzo and EyinjuGod. God bless you guys again for everything. You were with me from the start to the end. I'm rooting for you both. My prayers aren't complete yet, till y'all get your PPR's

I also want to appreciate Makano for the series of questions of mine he answered. God bless you boss. Ketima, thank you for always assisting and encouraging everyone. You actually encouraged me to do this myself and I appreciate, Scotisshh (dunno if I got the spelling correctly) your testimony dey come. Lianna aka Rela, thank you for your encouraging email replies.

House do i need English proficiency test results for study permit even though the school waived it

yemiezay:
Good morning house. how can one pay for application fee. since CBN has issued that the limit on a master card is $20. what are the alternative ways to pay for an application fee above $100??

makano:
Hello Yemiezay

You can make use of a dollar card to make your payment..

Peace

yemiezay:


@makano. Thank you i thought of that but using a dollar card comes at a higher rate. for example to use barter card for $150 thats around 85k at the rate of 540 something.

what other dollar merchant do you suggest i can use ?

makano:
You have no option though since our leaders have made it more difficult to use our naira card to make international transactions..

The $100 is in CAD though and not USD, so it shouldn't be up to 540..

Alternatively, if you have a trusted person in Canada, he or she can be of help..

Peace
