the problem was all these were stated in the previous sop. may be it was too long. it was 29 pages. but everything was captured. Can I you advise who can help rewrite? or maybe i rewrite and point them to pages where those information are captured? also does this mean every other thing is fine? thank you so much

Hello guys..

Please how viable is it for a 32yr old person to obtain a visa grant for an undergraduate diploma course(not a pg diploma)..im asking based on the age.

Nb: the person has a Bsc but doesn’t want to apply for masters because of the requirements.

Good day house. I'm trying to apply for my visa by December and I have some questions.

My school course registration will not be open till March, so I wouldn't be able to pay my fee till then. Hope it doesn't have any implication, if the money just sits in my account. (I don't want them thinking I don't have access to it).

Also, will CIBC GIC still serve as a plus, even if I don't have any receipt of fee paid apart from acceptance deposit.

PS: my Dad is my sponsor

Please I would be grateful to get a reply🙏🏽

Beside the VFS office building, there's a DHL office. Go straight there and tell them you want to submit your passport. The DHL guys would give you a consent form to fill. Go along with the passport data page photocopy that was returned back to you when you did your biometrics by VFS. Also go along with your PPR request printout and another photocopy of your passport data page. Transit fee and DHL commission fee cost 20,500. If you want DHL to send the passport to your house after stamping, you'll be paying a return fee of 30,000. That's 50,500. But if you don't want DHL to dispatch your passport to your house, then you pay only 20,500. DHL would give you a tracking information document and would return the second photocopy of your passport data page to you. When you come for pickup, come along with the tracking information document and the photocopy of your passport data page. On this passport data page, write your tracking number on it.
When I did mine, I submitted on a Monday and VFS sent me a pickup mail on Thursday.
Make sure you get to VFS office before 1PM to submit, because DHL sends out all the passports to Abuja by 3PM. Also when you come for your pickup, come before 4PM. Good luck.

Greyworld:

Okay.. thnks a lot. I will go to the DHL office aroud here cos im not in lagos.

OllyM:
Congratulations. Please did you apply together with your husband or it was after his visa came out, you applied for yours.

MarksmanD:
According to what the DHL guys told me, you can't use anyhow DHL. Theirs is the only one that can collect your passport on behalf of VFS. I don't live in Lagos too that was why I asked if I could've used any DHL office and they said no.

Since it is a University you don't need to pay tuition fees before applying for a Study permit. Doing GIC will be good if you can.
More importantly, Canada's new policy for PGWP issuance will take effect from tomorrow 1-Nov-2024, this means the policy will apply to you so please ensure your program is eligible to issue you PGWP after your studies although this depends on your goals.

I have a question house. Hope it is not a red flag if two siblings are applying to the same college and they're both sponsored by another Sibling, hope this is not a problem?

i.e two brothers sponsored by their elder sister applying to the same school. Should there be a time between when they submit their applications and can the other submit after the first is approved?

Please advice

How long does it usually take to receive a final decision from IRCC after biometrics confirmation?

It’s been over two weeks since my biometrics were confirmed, but I haven’t heard back yet. Before this, IRCC asked for an additional document – my sister, who is my primary sponsor, needed to upload her bank statement to show her salary deposits matching her paystub. We uploaded it, and a week later, IRCC confirmed they received the updated document. A few days after that, I received a letter saying my biometrics are valid until a certain date, but still no decision.

Meanwhile, my school reached out to inform me they’re suspending the course I initially applied for, so I needed to pick another program. I selected an IT course, but since my undergraduate degree isn’t IT-related, the school is asking for a resume showing 3 years of IT experience. I only graduated in 2022, so I don’t have quite that much experience yet. I’m hoping if my visa gets approved, having over 2 years of IT experience by then might be enough for the school to reconsider. This IT course is the only realistic option available for the winter term; most other programs, including healthcare ones, are suspended until fall (September).

Now, I’m really confused about what to do next and worried that IRCC might be contacting my school about these recent changes. I was hoping for the visa approval so I could negotiate with the school or explore other options. Someone mentioned that if IRCC requested additional documents, it’s likely a positive sign, as they would have denied it already if it was a no.

For context, my tuition is paid in full, and I have a GIC with 21k CAD. My sister owns a home and my school is in the same city, so she is providing me with accommodation as well. This is my third application since my first two were denied as they were poorly handled by my previous visa officer (a story for another day, hopefully when this application is approved!).

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

A decision. Is made on your application, which seems to be a positive one. Register on the IRCC tracker, you should see a visa and study permit number in there .
