Please I just requested for a deferral which has been granted.

Apart from sending a webform with new admission letter attached, do I need to do any other thing?

Your reply appreciated.

iampaulsmith:
Congratulations Teetae, may the land favour you! Please can you explain where the Two-Stage Permit was mentioned in your note. I also applied in October and I had Two Stage SP Winter written on my recently ordered GCMS note. And what was your eligibility status in that GCMS note?

Hello,

I believe your application has been approved.


Eligibility review shows Recomend Interview.


The Two-stage Study for Winter Semester was on page 28 of 71 under some sub section.


If you haven't done your medicals, please book for one and go for it.


The upload of the medical sheet should trigger or re-awaken activities on your application.


Hope I was able to help.


Thank you.

Is any of your children goin with you and how did you factor them into your application. I am about to start this process but I don’t have any intentions of leaving my little boy behind. Please reply

Pls I need someone to recommend good and affordable schools in Canada for masters in Nursing for me.
I tried using Google but couldn't see one.
Thanks in anticipation

Testimonytime:


I believe you and Ayokaq are refused for same purpose which is because you have applied for ordinary diploma ( my thought). I understand why you had to apply for ordinary diploma because we are in a closely related profession ( mine is culinary management) but it looks like the VO cannot just understand reason for an ordinary diploma after a degree. I was advised by gurus here to apply for pgd which I did and surprisingly, through God’s grace, I got admission without prior formal education in the field. I am still waiting for my PPR which I believe God is working out for me. In the course of my research I discovered pgd in food that people in pastry and food can apply for. Though, your SOP will have to be tailored fully in line with some of the courses as you are into baking and pastry. I think you should PM me if you are interested we can check schools for pgd and work on the SOP together, time is limited, but with God, you can still meet up with May. What God cannot do does not exist.
I hope Ayokaq is reading this, I believe God will help us to find a way.

Hello
Trust you are fine,pls am new here and I would like you to help me on how to write SOP .
Here is my contact via WhatsApp 08163453138

Good morning all.

Please just need clarification. What my company gave me is recommendation letter but I kept seeing letter of introduction from company. Please are the different or can recommendation letter serve same purpose?

Thanks

Please who needs to buy CAD please contact me God bless

afeezzezo:
Thanks sir, i ll attach a letter. Hope my application will still go through NSE?

Advising the immigration authorities in writing that you can't sit for the IELTS test completely makes you ineligible for the NSE program. It means that you're opting out from the program and as such would go through the regular channel.

Femioye337:



I’m confused. My agent keeps telling me that general isn’t accepted because it wasn’t stated and the fact that I’m going for study it definitely should be academic.... pls explain better to me

The agent is wrong on this. IELTS General is accepted for NSE route but if you can take Academic to curb your fears, its ok.

I'm Male and I'm looking for a guy that we can share a hotel room together for the 3 days quarantine. Please pm me. For those travelling in April.
Abuja pls

RichieJayy:


Mine actually does have the TRF number.

good morning lovely people. This is my opinion; I don't think that embassy is an academic body to start verifying results, before any school gives you admission, they would have verified the authenticity of your results, they should stop making things difficult for Nigerians. I'm using my statement of result which is verifiable online, the code to verify it is there, I have also written LOE to explain to them, I also wrote my school website which is on my result, my username and password to check the results. To order for transcript takes time and money.

Has anyones medical been passed since the 4th? Please!!
Submitted upfront medicals with my application and till now it hasn’t been passed, although background and eligibility started.

Ifeomaindigo:


Hello , although I’m new here .
Please My questions are

- will I get the student visa even though my undergraduate degree and present work is not related to the masters program I applied for ?
- if I get masters admission this March , can I still apply for study permit to start classes in sept 2021? (With covid restrictions will
I have to do remote learning )


Thanks

You can secure a visa to study in Canada with your proposed program being in tandem with your current employment. Its not compulsory that it must be relevant with your undergraduate degree. In this case, going for a program related to your work experience is termed "Career Progression"

Yes, you can start your visa application process this month when you've gotten your acceptance letter.

i am in the same shoe, submitted application since 10th December and not even started review , am to start my class this Spring
please what could be the cause of this delay because ,medical and biometric were updated almost immediately.

any advise on what to do apart of raising webform and mail to Nairobi bi- weekly.

Given that you've sent incessant emails and webforms to the immigration authorities. My professional advice for you is to order for your GCMS notes, this will enable me know the present stage of your application and advice you accordingly.

prada1:
i applied to the MA economics program at MUN but they said i dont have the requsite background to enter the program directly but was rather offered a graduate diploma in Economics at the Graduate studies of the school for an 8month-1year period and after that, i can enter to the MA program which is most likely fully funded.

i finished with a 2.1 BSC Accounting.

Should i go ahead and take it and apply for my study Visa?


DEAR ALL, PLEASE I NEED YOUR ADVISE @JUSTMELLOW@FRANKROBBIN AND EVERYONE
BIKO

Do not accept such offer from MUN. You've a 2.1 degree in Accounting and as such to demonstrate that you're in fact a bonafide student, you're to pursue a masters program not a PGD. My professional advice for you is to apply for Master of Management in International Accounting and Finance at University of Windsor.

Do this and thank me later on this platform

Please i have a question.

How am I to show proof of funds when I arrive the port of entry. Do I have to have it in my Nigerian bank account and show my Nigerian bank statement? Please how? And how much is the expected amount? 10000cad?

Cc. Justmellow, Frankrobbn1, lekibobe and other gurus

You can show proof of funds by declaring your bank statement, tuition receipts and telling the immigration officer at the POE who is your sponsor. The liquid cash you should travel with you mustn't exceed 10KCAD. If it does exceed this amount, you should provide explanation what you intend to do with it.

Hello, guys. How do one avoid this issue of "Personal asset and financial status" if one has little money in account, but has sponsor(father) with enough money to show as POF and living expenses?

To overcome the visa officer's concern on the refusal reason "Personal Assets and Financial Status", you need to show adequate documents to prove that you're well-established in Nigeria and that your proposed program is a reasonable expense. In so doing, provide your personal bank statement (no matter the amount in the account), evidence of a property in your name or a registered business. If properly explained in the LOE, these documents would clear every grey areas relating to your establishment in your home country, Nigeria

ABOUT RENEWING PASSPORT
Passport was to expire February 2021 and I applied November 2020, was advised to apply with the old one while I try to process the renewal before I get a response from IRCC.

There's also a thread on Nairaland for obtaining international Passport in Nigeria, check there for people's post(don't go and pay money to anybody there o as there are many post saying DM me for fast processing so thread carefully)
Got my passport early this year(2021) so I just sent the new data page via webform to IRCC and also included it in my account when they sent request for NSE.

Copied from @JustMellow: There is no worries applying with the soon to expire passport. Prior to submitting your application and before a final decision is made, you should have been able to renew it and update IRCC via CSE so it can be included to your file. This means when the PPR drops, you will only have to send the renewed passport for stamping.
It won't be advisable to send a soon to expire passport for stamping as the visa will be issued based on the duration of the PP.

ABOUT NSE REQUIREMENTS
Didn't have IELTS, read a post where someone said he submitted letter of waiver from his Uni so I did same and included a little background story and also included the page from my proposed school in Canada's website where they said Nigerians
are exempted from submitting proof of English proficiency.
Uploaded my bank statement certificate
Sponsor isn't based in Nigeria so no MBS, he requested a reference letter from his bank and I attached with 12 months bank statements(there statement isn't voluminous like ours for Naija, 1 page or max or 2 pages was okay for one month). 
Basically reuploaded everything I uploaded for Financial support before incase they decide to only use NSE documents and I put a note to explain with table of content as well.

MEDICAL EXPERIENCE AT QLIFE
Booked online and also made payment online of 40,000. Didn't receive any confirmation mail so I placed a call through to confirm my slot and also sent a mail so it can be documented (auditors always need physical evidence �). I was actually offered another date before 6th of March but it was a weekday and I didn't want to skip work so I declined. (Just incase you don't see any date that's close enough on the site, you can call to confirm just incase someone cancelled and they can fix you in the slot)

Arrived qlife at about 7:45 on the Saturday, already met people seated, I think I was number 15 or thereabout. Washed hands did the normal covid protocols, signed in them was handed a white slip to fill and was asked to sit and wait.  Someone came to collect our international passport, the white slip that was given to us and the medical request form (this isn't needed if it's an upfront medical). Figured others that were there earlier had been attended to and they were called in to start the process. Sat under the canopy for about 30 to 45 minutes before they came to call the second set in. At the reception we were asked to fill a form and our photographs were taken, then we were called to confirm our names and date of birth and then handed back our passport,e-medical slip, urine bottle and a form for the doctor and nurses to fill as we were being attended to. Went to see someone else to confirm payment, she asked for payment slip which she sighted and kept and wrote a receipt for me then gave me 3 colored circle tags for Blood, vitals and vision test and xray. We were called in according to the numbers on the tags, the process was quite fast for me though. I think all that took about another 45 minutes to 1 hour and then I finally saw the doctor, he asked some normal health questions and checked for some other things. The nurses and doctor were quite professional, they ensured they explain what they are about to do before they proceed. I liked that cause it prepared my mind for what I was expecting.

Returned the urine bottle and the medical form back to the receptionist and was told that was the end of the process. I think I left there around 10 a.m or thereabout.

ENSURE YOU GO WITH YOUR ORIGINAL PASSPORT OR A COPY AND DON'T FORGET TO ASK FOR IT BEFORE LEAVING ENEN THOUGH IT SHOULD BE HANDED OVER TO YOU BEFORE THE TEST ENDS. SENT THE E-MEDICAL SHEET TO NAIROBI AND SOME OTHER OFFICES VIA WEBFORM AND MAIL.


I WISH EVERYONE ON THIS JOURNEY GOD'S FAVOUR. IT WILL DEFINITELY END IN PRAISES.

OGA FRANKROBBN I HAIL O����

Thank you. I intend opening a dollar account and fund it with 10k cad. Do i still need to take my sponsors statement of account with me?

Allgoodies21:
Greetings to the gurus and all well-meaning contributors to this forum.

I made a mistake with my children application and I feel it resulted to the delay in their visa.

I got a study permit to start the winter class and after getting my visa, I applied for my children that they would now travel with me. Although I had just 2 when I submitted my application last year, I have had another baby before my visa approval. So, I applied for all 3.

The reason being that when I applied, there was no covid so I used that as a reason and also added that the children were still young 6yrs, 4yrs and 4 months.
Long story short, they requested for their medicals which was updated to pass 3 days after medicals. 5 days later I received their refusals with the reason below:

I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on your travel history.

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on the length of your proposed stay in Canada.

Except for my little baby, others have visited the shenghen zone with their visa, UK, Dubai, Kenya, South Africa and presently have 2 years UK visa. Although they have had US visa refusals which was acknowledged.

I went back to the LOE I submitted and noticed that I submitted a wrong LOE. I submitted the one I wrote with my spouse joining the trip. But he vehemently refused because of his new contract and said he would only consider visiting when he is through with his current contract with no date in view. I am wondering if the contradicting LOE with his details and his letter of sponsorship raised the VO’s concern for the refusal.

I really want to travel with my kids because he won’t be on ground to care for them. I wanted to send in the application again with the updated LOE and another letter addressing the VO’s concern but someone referred me to Nairaland. Please you all should give your advice.

A lot of times submitting files incorrectly unavoidably leads to denial. Its highly advisable that you review your file 3 to 4 times to avoid mistakes that could lead to refusal prior to the application submission. Now, that you've figured out that there was fault in the arrangement of the documents. You can reapply with a persuasive LOE and tackle the concerns raised by the visa officer.

By the way, what's the length of your program in Canada?, I can see that the visa officer has expressed concerns about the length of your childrens stay in Canada. Please be advised that Travel History, is not a stand-alone reason, it will be waived if you're able to overcome other refusal reasons. Include more documents in this present application to show your family is well-established, documents like landed properties, investments, valuation report of a building, and a registered business etc must suffice in the application. Explain how these properties would induce your family's return home after studies in Canada.

Should you've other questions, don't hesitate to ask them here.
