This is not a negative email. It’s just saying AIP isn’t a study permit and you can’t travel with an AIP. Stay positive

Ifelajulo:
Good Morning gurus in the house, I received this mail early this morning (see attachment). My school is not in the COVID 19 approved DLI and I don't think they are interested in getting approval because they have mailed me that they will not be taking International students in 2021.

Although my Admission has been withdrawn by the school, I got AIP, passed Medical and Biometrics. Lekkibobo advised me to apply to other schools which I have done.

Should I remain positive even with this mail?

Congratulations in advance.

BVL Dropped yesterday evening' 21st of October

Timeline of my Application
Applied 19th June, 2020
Medical request was sent on 21st of July, 2020
Medical was updated to pass on 28th of Jully, 2020
I received AIP 18th of August , 2020

BVL was issued in China

I pray the China VOs will be bearers of Good News, Amen

Yesterday, some people in the house got letters without an address but usually the address is written at the end of the letter.

MOKENN:


Like how do you know which office it's coming from. A sample I saw has no office address on it.

This looks positive to me. The outstanding might have been entered before you gave your biometrics. I can see the “may accept employment..” talk and eligibility passed, so it looks positive. Congratulations in advance. Stay positive

Eilenora:


I have done biometrics and even saw several comments confirming biometrics done and good in the notes so I dont know why it reads outstanding.. For the rest of the comments, looks like it is still in the review stages so still on the waiting game. Let me know what you guys think as I am not sure I have seen this in any other notes I have come accross on the thread.

Hi Eilenora,

Nothing is showing below

Eilenora:
HI GUYS.

Got my notes earlier today. See extracts below. Regarding medicals, my portal got updated to passed on the 16th of Oct meanwhile the date on the notes is 10th Oct which explains why medicals is yet to reflect in the notes.

Hello Chydon4God,

Banking related would make more sense.

Chydon4God:
Please I need someone to guide me, I have first degree in chemistry and masters in operations and supply chain management and then banking experience. I want to go to Canada to study another Masters. Should I make it chemistry related or banking related to enable me get visa easily?

Hello Papapa1234,
Don’t let the negative words get to you. Though it might have come from a good place. In my opinion, you should give it a try. Do the required work of researching and getting information that would help you package a strong application.

What did you study in your first degree? Is it a bsc?
Since you have second class lower, you should be looking at post graduate diplomas or post graduate certificates.

Is your business registered? What line of business is it?

You can decide to go to the same field as your business or previous study.

You need to select a good course that shows career progression

Write a every strong SOP (statement of purpose)

Have the required funds

Prove you will come back home after your studies.

And everything will fall into place

Best wishes

biodunbbb:
Good day everyone,

Please what do you guys think about my case?

I applied on april 30th, 2020
I got medical request on July 22nd, 2020
I got Bvl on 21st October, 2020

I haven’t gotten aip but i got the medical request which i passed. Is this a bad sign?

Looking forward to your thoughts.

Hello Priceless200
In addition to what @Dbankx1 said. Please check your bank limit. Some banks still have their limits at $100, which is way below the application and biometric fee.

Priceless200:
I'm not able to pay for my visa online. All my cards re being declined.? ��

It’s been more than 2 years. I don’t think it’s necessary.

I’ve been seeing your questions and I’m scared you’ve not fully understood the procedure. It’s not a crime to ask but your questions show you need more knowledge. I’m pleading with you to read this thread from page one till the end before you apply. I see you plan on submitting this week. Please read and understand everything to avoid errors. May you be successful.

Best wishes

Dbankx1:


Thanks bro, seen, should I show my old ielts exam taken in 2016? I know it’s not needed, but is it advisable

Hello TwentiesGirl

Yes.

You don’t need to do undergrad in Canada to qualify. In fact you can go directly from Nigeria if you have a masters and work experience.

it’s calculated based on some factors and you get points. If your points are up to the set cutoff point, you will be eligible to apply for PR. But to get points high enough, you should have a degree, masters, and work experience. 3 years preferably (if it is foreign work experience) if it’s Canadian work experience route then 1 year of working in Canada is enough. If you’re married, there are other factors to be considered (this is an oversimplification, for you to understand it well, you need to read and research yourself)

There is an express entry thread here on nairaland, please see link below

I’m sure this question has probably been asked countless times before but is it possible to migrate to Canada through just a masters programme? I know most people get into schools as an undergrad and then apply for jobs afterwards but some of us don’t have funds for 3-4 years of school.

Hello
There are 2 tables. One for Quebec, one for the rest of Canada. Please check well, if printing it would make it better, please print.

People, my BVL just landed.
PPR by God's grace

But did you see anywhere where they stated that you don’t need to print and sign anything if you’re applying online? It’s stated in the GC account.

I signed my own family declaration form.

Hello jogojogo,

Sign your sponsorship letter

SOP does not have to be signed, you should write your full name at the end (if you want to sign, go ahead)

For the forms, if you’re applying online, you don’t need to sign, you’ll give a signature at the end right before you submit your application (this is clearly stated on your GC account, kindly read it) Put dates in the required spaces.

Best wishes

jogojogo:
please house good morning. these documents we are submiting online, do they need to be singed or we just fill and submit? like the sponsorship letter, my SOP and the downloaded forms? thanks

Hello Dbankx1,

You do not need to sign any form by hand if you’re applying online. Before submitting your application, you’ll give a signature (by writing your full name) that will cover for everything. Just put dates where needed.

Best wishes

Dbankx1:
Hey,
i am sending my application online, and ive been told that i should only sign the family form by printing, signing it and scanning it to them, is this correct information?

Hello adeenzo,

You can choose to wait for a medical request or do an upfront medical.

As the form shows, it’s just you signifying if you need a medical exam for your visa. Not everyone needs one, that’s why they explained situations that require one and asked you if you need one. Since you ticked yes, you’ll get a medical request(if your application is positive). But you can still do an upfront medical if you decide and send it to them.

Best wishes

adeenzo:
good day, please did anybody get this med request form when applying online?.. I got this during my application online, please note that this message report shown below was part of the documents I was asked to upload.. I'm I meant to still wait for another med form before I take my medicals, please how does the med request form look like, if it's different from this, then what does this form signify...
the two screenshots below
1.the request for med report what does it mean
2. I just ticked yes, and uploaded it back,as you can see it was one of the requirements before I could submit

Kindly check the link below, scroll to “proof of financial support” and you’ll see all you need to know.

for 4 family members, how much is the minimum living expenses

Hello Legacyedition
The note might not have much information since your application is just 2 weeks old. You might want to wait a bit before applying for it.

But if you insist, you can go ahead as you’re allowed to apply for gcms as many times as you want.

Best wishes

Legacyedition:
House, I submitted application 2 weeks.

Submitted my biometrics yesterday and it's already updated.


Can I apply for my GCMS note now since it's going to take 35 days?. Thanks.

PPR loading. Congratulations in advance

Hello Everyone, I just received a Correspondence Letter. I got a an email from cic first before checking my account, and it was sent from China office.

Yes, most likely a good news. It means a decision has been made on your application. You’ll get the decision in 24 hours there about.

Congratulations in advance

Hello Oreoluwamipo

Seeming desperate for an admission is not totally a bad thing in my opinion.

Did they give any room to add additional documents? (I know some schools give a space and say, if there’s any other information you’d like us to know please attach it here) If there’s something like that, you can attach all these extras there.

Best wishes

Oreoluwamipo:
I find this so helpful. God bless you .

But then, a cover letter isn't required as part of the documents the school wants me to send , do I still send ? I hope I won't seem desperate.

Between , Political science is quite related to HR � I'm always amazed people don't know that lol because it screams "politics" lol

Hello Oreoluwamipo

You used “quite” That shows it’s not very obvious, especially for someone not in the field.

I know this discussion is about your admission but when it comes to the visa application, you can’t assume the officer knows it’s “quite related”. Thankfully you have work experience in HR, so it won’t be difficult at all to explain why you’re going for HR with a pol science degree.

Hello Oreoluwamipo

I don’t think it’s about the schools not wanting students. Some haven’t put the proper covid facilities in place, so they can’t receive students. The list of those who have the facilities will be published today. Those are the ones that will be allowed to receive students.

Oreoluwamipo:
Congrats bro .. Concerning the list of schools that's likely to accept international students. Some schools don't want us? Wow, Do we all what for this ?

Hello AdoChel

Congratulations on your admission.
The next step is to prepare for your visa application. I’ll advice you to apply online.

You’ll need your letter of acceptance, valid international passport, recent passport photographs, proof of fund (bank statement and other financial documents), client information (any other important doc you want to attach, like your bsc certificate and transcript, resume/cv, birth certificate, etc), you’ll need a CAQ if your Uni is in Quebec

You’ll receive a biometric request after you submit your application, then you can go to the centre and give your biometrics.

You can do your medical exam upfront (before or shortly after submitting your application) or you can wait for IRCC to send you a request to go and do it after you’ve submitted.

At the bottom of this page you’ll see numbers, those are page numbers for the thread. Click on 1 and start reading, read till the last page and when you’re done you’ll be totally prepared to apply. Once you read it, everything will be clear.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask

Best wishes

AdoChel:
Hi Everyone,

I am new here. Please can anyone help me with all the steps I ought to take if I am going to Canada for a Masters degree. What do I do once I have gotten admission?

Thank you.

PPR on the way. Congratulations in advance. This week is the week of good news

Obanidavid:



Glory be to God.

While we await the list of Schools ready to receive international students to be publish today. I received a correspondence letter this morning "RE: validity of your biometric information".

More success stories to come for all. Thank you Lord.

Hello Dee4Doyinsola


You can order your gcms notes to see the current state of your application. If you have been approved, you’ll see it there. To do that, just google “GCMS notes sites Canada” and you’ll see several websites you can order it from. It costs between $15-$20 cad and can take up to 35 days to be ready. If you have anyone in Canada to order it on your behalf (citizen, permanent resident or temporary resident) it would cost $5 cad only.

Getting an AIP is a good sign though.


Best wishes

Dee4Doyinsola:
Hello,
First, I want to say thank you for these threads. Discovering that I'm not alone on this path (of getting a study permit) is a great relief.

I got AIP August 6
Medicals was updated August 24
Biometrics was completed September 1
I resumed online studies September 9
I have not received any information/update about the whole process since September 1 when the biometrics was completed. Please what can I do to know if they are working on my application?

Hello Sleekigboguy,

Did you submit the slip you got from your medicals to IRCC?
If no, you can submit it via webform and email to:
