hi, I'm just wondering why we need to help CIC with conversion rate? cos I'm guessing they would have their own official rate. just asking because I would soon be uploading my POF. If you check their fees on cic.gc.ca, the conversion rate is at about 230/C$ which we all know isnt whats been charged when we are paying these fees with our cards. Hence the reason for using the current FX rates |

Jpandjp1: Good day house,
Please I am new here but I have being following this thread. I would like to confirm something on this Canada journey. Is it true that one might/will not get a post study stay in Canada if the program is not up to 2 years. I have been offered a 18months master program in Royal Road University(RRU) and a 2 years post graduate diploma in Concordia university. I prefer the RRU offer as it is related directly to my first degree and my current profession.
Kindly advise me. Choose the program thats related to your undergraduate program and work exp. Thats your best bet of bagging a TRV with all things being equal. Also, as per your question, an 18months program should be eligible for a PGWP. |

I am confused. Someone should please shed light on the official exchange rate used by CIC. Oh Lord have mercy!!! Both are used in POF conversion. To be on the safe side, just use 295/C$ 1 Like |

Is it the one year diploma and[b] three[/b] years BSc in Unilag that is evaluated as such.... cos I sent mine to IQAS and it was evaluated as 4 years BSc.. if WES is giving the opposite please let me know so I can port oooo... No time to waste time... Ofcourse they are correct. One plus Three equals Four. If you had an OND (2yrs) plus a B.Sc (3yrs), then it could be an equivalent of two certs. |

Galaxxy: Hello everyone.
I am currently a PhD student (Mathematics) at the University of Alberta. I came to Canada in 2014 and I completed my MSc Degree at the University of Saskatchewan. I visited Nigeria this Summer (May,2017) and I got married to my long time girlfriend.
I applied for SOWP on July 5,2017 and I am yet to get anything from CIC. The mistake I made was that I should have applied for PR adding her as a dependent but I was really busy with school so I couldn't write the IELTS exam before I submitted the SOWP application.
My MSc convocation is happening this Fall, October 28,2017 and this wait is really killing me. I could not attend Spring Convocation because I was in Naija. Honestly, I wish my wife can be here so that she can watch me receive my degree. You know, I feel like she deserves to be present with all the support that I received from her.
Here is my thought: I am planning to email CIC, Ghana office to humbly beg them to do something so that my wife can attend my convocation. Of course, I am going to add every other reasons like her presence would make me concentrate squarely on school and that I have being a loner here since 2014.
I have received ITA recently but I am still waiting, hoping they can answer her first before I launch my PR app(She is included).
Please guys, what is your take on this? Thanks for your honest answers. We've seen PR approved in just a month. Wait no more.....Please Launch!!! 1 Like 1 Share |

Please I want to find out if I can reuse my student visa emedical for express entry. I took an upfront medical when I got an admission offer but it turns out I want to defer the admission and go for express entry first.
Thanks. I doubt but you could call the hospital and make enquiries. Since it was for study purpose, i dont think it will be valid for immigration. |

Please help with this - For someone who has worked at a SINGLE company for 2years and 8months, is that enough to claim points for 3yrs work experience OR does it have to be a WHOLE 3yrs, i.e full 36month to be able to claim points for 3yrs?
Thanks for your help. Its still less than 3years. You can either wait an extra 4 months (and get your eca/ielts sorted out during the wait) or just claim a 2years work experience. 1 Like |
