Oh I understand now, I think you should just go ahead and apply as long as you have all the necessary document. Work Permit might take a longer time to process but who knows. Plus if they approve his visa before yours, you can always join him later whenever you get yours.

thanks for your feed back, i am applying for an open work permit as an accompanying spouse but from the website there isnt much info on processing time. Thanks again

Hello,

Yes, tell him to put in his application ASAP, I believe the processing time from Nigeria is 17 weeks as per http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.asp . Though based on what I have seen on this forum, it might take longer but at the end of the day, worst case scenario is to defer your admission if you get your visa and you can't make it for May. Just try and keep in touch with your school and if you think time is running out, defer the admission if possible.

So for your own case, I'm just wondering, are you trying to apply for an open Work Permit from Nigeria? and what type of open work permit? I am kinda confused. Let me know.

Btw, I'm not that experienced with Canadian Immigration from Nigeria these days as I did mine almost 10 years ago from this same forum. Thanks to guys like Justwise, Delta007, Fidelo etc and I am still very grateful(They were the legends back then). So I believe a lot must have changed by now. But if it has to do with surviving in Canada/US like schooling, jobs, hustling professional development, paper renewal, PR etc; I'd be happy to add my 10 cents here based on my little experience.

After your diploma, it is always good to get a job and gain valuable experience. Apply, apply and apply for jobs. Even a Co-op/Internship won't hurt you while in school. But at the end of the day, you can always go for a Masters Program after your Diploma if you have good grades. As for the Certification, you might not a able to get into a Masters program with that but I'm not so sure about that however, you can get a job with it.
