Good evening everyone...i have few questions

1. When does work experience starts to count for express entry, is it after the undergraduate final exams or after the date of graduation on the certificate. I started a job prior the graduation date on my certificate. Also are they very strict regarding work experience.

2. Is there anything like visa interview for intending students into the university. Or they would just send for you that the visa has been approved.

Thanks alot

Lucky you, that would sustain for some time before you bother about looking for African stores to buy another palm oil. Thank God for your safe trip.

If you are a visitor to Canada, you cannot open a bank account. Reason is that your a need a valid means of Canadian ID to open an account. For newcomers it is usually their COPR or study permit or work permit (as the case may be)

Hi guys, please I need some information.
In trying to hedge against Naira inflation by putting money in a foreign account, I am thinking of opening a savings account here in Canada as I am currently visiting.
Based on your experience, which of the banks would you recommend I go for in terms of zero service charge, tax and easy access outside Canada?
Although I plan calling the top banks for enquires, just wanna be double sure.
I will really appreciate a response, thanks.

Hello my people o! Abeg help me with this puzzle. I applied for study visa on May 15th but yesterday evening I got an provincial NOI from the same province I got admission.

So, i'm about to do upfront medicals and biometrics (as required for study permit) on Thurday which also requires updating the study visa application once done.

1. Should I update the SV application with the medicals and Biometrics once done?
2. Will the study visa application affect my chances of federal ITA or conflict it in any way?
3. If YES, Should I withdraw my study visa application now and wait for federal ITA?

I'm following avidly as I have just 1 day to medicals. Thanks in advance.

Good evening; while you await a response from honourable members of this thread, you can also post your question on the Canada Student Visa thread to get a faster response from members more knowledgeable on immigration matters.

But my own take relates to guidance by the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act on Dual intent.

"An intention by a foreign national to become a permanent resident does not preclude them from becoming a temporary resident if the officer is satisfied that they will leave Canada by the end of the period authorized for their stay" extract from the relevant section of IRPA https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/i-2.5/section-22.html.

So I think each applicant receives the benefit of a procedurally fair, individual assessment as long as they can satisfy the reviewing officers (VO) and meet all the Immigration and Refugees Protection Act and Regulations requirements.

I am inclined to believe you may not need to withdraw your study visa application given the above. This is my own view; you can await more contributions from other members then you make your decision.

I wish you success.

finish your studies in Nigeria biko or study nursing in Nigeria. There will always be opportunities for Uk and usa with nursing. Studying Nursing is not cheap in canada nor will you get scholarship.

You can enter Cameroon even if you just do up to HND, get licensed and travel. Later, while abroad, you can run your 1year BSc Nursing online. If your course is similar to Nursing, you can start from year 2. If you like too, you can study up to BSc on campus then, get licensed in Cameroon.
Admission is on.

how did she go herself Why not use same route.
You can check express entry if you meet the requirements https://www.nairaland.com/6081746/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled. The job route too is possible but hard, if she can do the ground work or hire a lawyer to do it fine. Last option is marriage, let her come marry you and sponsor you over.
