I understand you but it's very risky to apply online cos of time, 6months you may still be waiting. Generally, I will never advice anybody to do it online.

I learned the online passport application works faster only in Lagos for now.

Annidenobeh:

Hi I'm so sorry about this
I'm also waiting for a final decision on my application
You can send me a message on WhatsApp if you'd like us to talk more
09011531890

You are waiting for your decision? And you dropped your number here asking asking to let you talk more?

Can't you just explain what you want to tell him here or dm him if you are truly sincerely with the 18 year old dude?

Ifebright:


Good day everyone..:pls I have a question I need answer to…thank you very much as you take your time to answer

So I applied to the university of Manitoba…university 1 to be precise because they said I have to get to the school and do some general courses before choosing a course…although I’m a student of university of Ibadan haven’t finished but I can’t wait anymore due to strike now the problem is I have to explain to the VO why I have a 4years of study gap

I was advise to use a certificate of completion of handwork stating that I have been been learning that and now I want to further my studies

Someone also advised me which I thought was also ok to tell them that I was working for my Dad’s business (provide certification of business) and I want to go to further to increase my knowledge in the business system so to come back and assist the business with my new found knowledge (which could also help with home ties because of the family business back at home

Having said that pls my question goes thus;

1. Stating that I was helping my dad business ….is it a good thing or disadvantage

2. How will I proof that I have being helping him with his business (because they always want proof for everything) the first option to get a certificate of hand work is already a proof that I had an hand work but I don’t know how to proof that I was helping my dad with his business

3. How will state my course of study since the university 1 in the university of Manitoba doesn’t state course or program I’m going to do once I get there…so how exactly will I then proof that I want to go and do a business oriented program in helping with the home country

Thank you so much has I expected responses


Someone pls answer me

Posting your message once is enough. Those who have answers to your questions will surely answer them when they see your post. Multiple posts with the message is unnecessary.

freddie009:


This is the reason I posted the initial message. It looks like you have an idea, but you don't want to give out the info. Thanks anyway.

He has given you more than enough info on what you should do.

It's like GCKey has not been allowing person to sign since afternoon? Am I the only one experiencing this?

Hello Nadingo

Your 1st and 2nd questions clearly shows you are a novice which isn't a problem at all, that is why we are here on this forum to guide you.

Now I will summarise the answers to the your 1st and 2nd question.

Yes you can relocate with your family through the Study Permit route (not PGD/PGC route). But you have a high chance going alone and using your other family members as home ties. And when you have your visa, you can apply for a Spousal permit for your spouse and Visiting permit Visa for ur kids.
With your second class lower, you can get a PGD/PGC Admission and you can use that to apply for your study permit application and get your Visa.

3. I am not sure about this cos the least you can have is a 2.1 for a Masters degree in Canada. If you last CGPA is high, then you can be lucky with some schools that considers the last CGPA, but I do not think work experience with 2.2 is a requirement for a Master degree Admission in most schools in Canada.

4. Yea, sure.

Peace

Please, what does the bolded (not PGD/PGC route) mean. Can you explain more please?

bullstriker:
In addition to what @Chocs has mentioned, get an enrolment letter from the school before leaving. You must be registered for courses to get an enrolment letter.

Is it advisable for those of us who are yet to pay tuition fees plus the deposit and yet to get study permit approval to enroll for courses?

If yes or no, why and why not?

hillary4003:
she may not, my friend travelled about 2 weeks ago and was denied entry at the MMA by nigerian officers luckily she was able to contact her school and get it in time for her flight. i think it's another attempt at extortion by officers but still better safe than sorry she should get it there's still time

Enrollment Letter? Can the university/college give someone who is yet to pay tuition fee?

CharitoJames:


Which hospital?

IOM, Abuja noni.

Predator188:

According to the rules the person cannot change DLI unless the person is actively studying while in canada, actively pursuing studies and making progress towards completing your program's courses otherwise the person will need to submit new study permit application before moving to Canada..

Ok. Thanks so much.

bullstriker:
If he changes the program and DLI before entering Canada, CBSA might ask him to go back and reapply. He can enter Canada with his original LoA, and inform IRCC via MyCIC account (old portal) of the change of DLI.

When should he inform the IRCC through the Webform when he gets to Canada? Can he do that before he paid his tuition and starts classes at the current DLI?

CharitoJames:


Upfront medical has no appointment letter.

For Abuja where I did mine, It has an appointment letter.

It's the number on it the letter the security guards at their gate used in checking our names before they allowed us to enter.

HazeeyzaH:


Hi Ocool, pls can you tell me the name of the 11,500 cad school?. Thanks

He told me Cambrian College.

Annidenobeh:
Actually he would have to reapply for study permit if he changes dli
Let me explain properly
Let him travel first of all and resume in the current school before Changing the DLI
If he changes it from Nigeria he would have to reapply for study permit since his current application has already been approved

If you check the ircc website it's says actively studying in Canada that's when you can change dli without reapplying

But if his Visa has not been approved he can change his dli by sending a webform with the new LOA while still in Nigeria

I hope I explained well
Please don't make any mistakes o

This thing is very important

PS: my Visa has not been approved and I also changed DLI if it had been approved I would have had to reapply to change DLI

Meanwhile my elder brother in Canada traveled first because his Visa got approved and when he got there he changed to a cheaper college and all he had to do was inform ircc of the change of school

I really hope this helps you

Thanks so much for this well detailed explanation.

I have a follow up question please. Did you your brother paid his full tuition or just a part before he changed his DLI?

johnstan:


The steps are on IRCC, you don't need to apply for a new study permit, here's the link https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/change-schools.html

Wow! Thanks a bunch.

ActivatedDreams:
Please, Any legit agent who can offer admission to any of this listed schools;
University of Calgary
University of Carleton
University of Waterloo
University of Windsor
University of Ryerson
Northeastern university

Point of correction. Agent can only help you to apply, they don't have any power to offer you admission. This kind of question makes you susceptible to scammers.

Besides, why don't you make a little research on those universities you listed and apply yourself? This thing is not difficult nah.

A friend just got his PPR to resume in September 2022, next month.

But the thing is that he wants to defer to save cost by going to another DLI which is about 50% cheaper in January 2023.

The tuition fee of the current DLI is 22,000 CAD but he has got admission to another DLI with just 11,500 tuition fee.

Is this possible? If yes, how can he handle it without having any problem later.

EagleEye4040:
Sheybi your father dey alive? Go take the picture na. Abi?

Simple.

Since flights from Ghana to Canada is currently cheaper than it is in Nigeria, will the international passport of someone who travels to Ghana by road to board the Canada's flight be stamped at the boarder in Ghana?

I'm asking because this is the only way I believe the movement from Nigeria to Ghana by road can be legal. Because if it's not legal, it can create another issue in future visa application.

Two people were refused in my presence when I went for a visa interview at the US embassy in 2019 just because they said they had previously travelled by road to one or two African countries.

Congratulations to those who have got their PPRs so far today, because I believe we will still have more people to announce their PPRs before today runs out.

As at this moment, I've seen up to 10 PPR announcement here today. It has really been a rain of PPR today.

I rejoice with all of you. May Allah timely perfect mine and my family own too. Amin yah Allah.

OlaqR:
Congratulations to all those who have received their PPR.

Almighty Allah, I can see what you are doing in the lifes of fellow applicants. Please perfect that which concerns my application, the VO handling my file shall have no rest of mind until he/she approves my application before the end of this week. I am next in line inshaallu, it is my time and my turn. What Almight Allah cannot do does not exist.

Yes, Allah can do all things. We are next in Sha Allah. Amin.

olutowo:

Hello Bruno

It depends on the applicant.. According to my research and observation.

Major Reason applicants prefer waiting to get a request from IRCC:

Considering the cost of medicals, some applicants feel since Upfront Medicals is never a guarantee for Visa approval, they don't see any reason to book for Medicals, since it does not guarantee Visa. So they prefer they wait for Medical request which is a right signal that the application will be approved. Once you get a Medical request, its top priority at the clinics, so even if there is no space within the deadline given you in your Medical request letter, they tend to allow you do your medicals before your deadline, but this is not so for Upfront Medicals. When you get a Medical request, your application is 99% sure of approval (unless village people are on your case). The only disadvantage to this is that the application may tend to delay.

Major Reason applicants prefer doing Upfront

This is simply for fast processing (not proven) of one's application. When it gets to the stage of Medical examination, instead of the Visa Officer going through the process of sending the Medical request, he/she works with the already submitted upfront Medical Examination result, so much time wont be spent during this stage. But like I said, upfront Medical does not in any way have any effect on the positive outcome of an application.. Its 50-50 chance..

Its your Eligibility to study that determines if you will be approved of your study permit application or refused..

Peace

That 2% that remains is still a very great concern.

Someone posted it here sometimes ago that he got a medical request but got a refusal a day after.

It seems those VOs are not predictable at all.

Qre1:
Biometrics validity last as long as your passport due . My biometrics shows 10years validity .If you have the money always do a 10years validity passport .

This is not true. My passport will expire in 5 years but what is on my IRCC profile is 10 years validity for my biometrics.

Oreoluwamipo:
which of Allah's absolute mercies will i ever deny? None !

I got my first refusal on the 20the Thread - sept 152020.

Got approved this month - 3rd application.

Thanks to everyone that rendered help to me genuinely, its been a long ride , i cant begin to mention names , i really appreciate you all from the bottom of my earth.

This feels surreal ! I don't even have my emotions fixed yet - I went through a whole lot but God came through at the perfect time ! Hmmm , my story isn't even one i can put into words now , still trying to catch my breath.

Alhamdulilahi. May Allah put His blessing in it for you and your family.

InfoPlz:
Ocool good day, if my sponsor takes a loan and indicates it in the letter of sponsorship or LOE, would it affect my chances with the Visa officer?

And should I explain it in my letter of sponsorship or letter of explanation?

Thanks

Anon123

Honestly, I don't know about this. Just hold on for gurus in the house to answer this.

InfoPlz:
Gurus please what portal will you recommend the new or old portal and why do you recommend the one you choose. Thanks.


ocool
Anon123

Well, I used GcKey not because of anything but because it allows a document upload of up to 4MB, while the new portal only allows 2MB. So, a large document reduced to 4MB will definitely be clearer than 2MB.

However, apart from the above, I learned here that none is better than the other in terms of fastness and nature (positive or negative) of decision.

Kamsi99:
Please guys how long does it normally take to get biometrics mail after submission?
Asking to know if I can stay back in lag and wait for my biometrics
Thanks

Let me tell you mine, not general. I got it the day I submitted while my spouse got it a day after submission.

Thefil:
Good day Ocool,

Thank you for the suggestion. IOM said it will be transmitted in3-5 working days. I sent them a mail requesting a copy on the 5th day. They did not respond until I called and the customer care person forwarded it. I got a response next day telling me to send a mail 3 working days later. 4 workings days later I sent a mail. Till today no response. I called and a nice customer care person told me that it was in its final stages since 2nd. People who had theirs done on 3rd and 4th has been transmittted and passed.

With what you have written above, it's likely (I'm not 100% sure o) some of the tests you did require further analyses before it can be confirmed passed or failed before transmission to the IRCC.

You can email them again to ask them what is exactly delaying your results. Copy their headquarters email address hq@iom.net in your next email if you have not been copying it before.

For example, but this is related to the UK, when my friend and I did the tuberculosis tests at IOM Abuja for UK, I got my result immediately that they day. But they subjected my friend to further sputum tests for another 6 weeks before he was certified passed.

Gigdraft:
This is so beautiful. Yeah! I am indeed grateful to God for gratifying me with gladness through your testimony.

Congratulations, and thanks for making me happy!

Now, who's next?

My family and I are next to receive the good news this month, in sha Allah.
