Go and redo that medicals ASAP! unless you want to be denied. Medicals only last for a year. Also why didnt you travel after your app was approved in 2019.

The earliest date I can find is june 3rd.
I couldn't go in 2019 because I wanted to get my nursing licence. I needed a job to get one. 2020 was such a terrible year with Covid, lockdown and travel restrictions, grad school was the last thing on my mind.
Applied may 7
Eligibility may 19
Got the medical update today�

Hello guys,

I JUST LOST MY DAD TODAY.

Guys! My daughter PPR just dropped!. Oct 6 , 2020 Applicant, (17 years undergraduate ) . NSE request, but ignored. upfront medical updated to pass since 29 December, 2020. Review of Eligibility started last Monday 17 May 2021.
Many thanks to all on this wonderful thread especially the Ogas - Frank and Just mellow - (I remember reaching out in January when I got agitated and the sound and assuring feedbacks you guys provided.).

I will endeavour to document the process later in the week to help others coming behind.

TO ALL AWAITING PPR ! This shall be the week !.

Hello TradeSunMoore,

This is indeed glorious. Big congratulations to you and your daughter. Know that the appreciation is appreciated.

Cheers!

Hello Everyone. Please I'm new in this platform. I'm trying to apply for canada student visa but I'm confused on the schools and programs.
I graduated in law in 2012 with a 3rd class. Please I would like to know the schools and what program I should go for so as to get a student permit visa. Should I go for diploma courses or certificate courses since most of the schools don't accept a 3rd class for post graduate programmes. Please help me.
I have applied for court clerk and paralegal program in humber college because English proficiency isn't needed because I don't have an ielet.
Please I need more schools. Thanks

Hello Cceemmaa,

There is no study progression if after LL.B you opt for a Paralegal study. There are different law concentrations today. If possible, consider entertainment law as it is only becoming popular in Nigeria law society. There is also business law, which is very lucrative and easy to demonstrate prospect plans regarding the study.

Go for a Post-Baccalaureate Diploma or Graduate Diploma in Business Law or Entertainment Law.

Best of Luck

Hi everyone, been a silent follower. A big thank you to the Admin and everyone that has been helping out with relevant info.

I just booked for my medicals at Qlife and I was charged 30k. Please I hope this is normal cos I read in the previous thread that they charge 40k. ���

Hello everyone,

Please does anyone knows how I can do a change of name on my international passport without having to do a renewal especially with the new development?

Recently got married but I don't have any doc with my new surname and my husband would be applying later on. Also his elder brother is my sponsor

So I really need to change the surname to theirs.

Please gurus in the house, what should I do?

@Frankrobbn1
@JustMellow
@Justwise
@Anon@123
@MindfulV
Or anyone that know what I can do

Hello Bunmijab,

There is no harm in applying with your current/active passport. When filling the IMM 1294e Form, there is a column created for applicants to enter their alias or other names being referred as. In this column, you can key in your spouse's name.

You should do an with a notary public to support your marriage certificate and wedding pictures. If you think there is time for you to do a newspaper change of name, then do it too otherwise, the previously mentioned is safe to serve as proof. If IRCC needs further evidence, it will be requested.

Given the recent development surrounding PP issuance and renewing in Nigeria, it could take much time to get a new PP bearing your spouse's name.

Lastly, with the above said in paragraphs 1 & 2, and with a letter, you can easily demonstrate an adequate relationship with your brother-in-law.

Rest assured that using your current PP won't/isn't a red flag.

Best of Luck

I used https://ieltsonlinetests.com/. Really helped with the listening

Please, I want to be clear about something concerning to the Financial statement (proof of funds). During this application process, must I always keep my account balance up with what I stated in my SOP ?

I used to have 12m when I submitted my financial statement, but I had to use 9m on something, I have 3m left in my account now, I hope that will not be a problem ?

@Frankrobbn1 @Justmellow @Adiekwe1@Lekiboboe @NairaLuck @justwise @Akannitommy and other gurus, please advise

Hello EPICUnleashed,

Note that this advice is not limited to the following documents. However, it boils down to the nature of the organization and how well organized it is. You can show:

• Membership certificate/card

• ID card

• Photos when on mission outreach

• Awards

• Training/Volunteering certificate(s)

• Welcoming or acceptance email correspondence received upon becoming a member or as the case may be (preferably non-commercial email)

• Newspaper or publications on articles of your active participation/services in the name of the organizational outreaches or missions

• Organization web page where you are recognized as a bona fide member, etc

• Printed program copy, brochure, pamphlet, flyer, etc having you as host or participating host/member or being recognized

• A screenshot of the organizational social media page(s) recognizing you either by image upload or by appreciating your contributions by your full name acknowledgment

• ...etc. Please, kindly Follow GCMSWriters on Instagram/Twitter for rich Canada immigration updates and others.

Best of Luck

goldee29:
if the ultimate goal is proving your relationship to your sponsor, this can be achieved with your Marriage certificate and any other document showing his relationship to your husband. It is in this part of the world that women are compelled to change their names after marriage.

Whether your last name reflects that of your husband or otherwise wouldn't affect the decision on your application to the extent the rship is well spelt out.

Wishing you the best of luck!!

Alright thanks for this

Thanks so much @justmellow having been uncomfortable trying to think of what to do

Mofpearl:
Hi all,

I recently reapplied for my study permit after it was approved in 2019. Before reapplying I got a message to redo my medical exam because it expired. However, I didn't redo the medical exam and reapplied early this month. I logged in today to find that my medical exam is being reviewed but I didn't do any medical.

@justmellow @frankrobbn1

Hello Mofpearl,

Being a while and how have studies been? You mean applying for SP extension right or what do you imply by reapplying after an approval?

Based on the seek information, there is no reason here to panic. What is currently showing on your timeline is normal and you may receive an instruction to go for one soon or it may return to the normal generic display timeline narrative.

Since you were initially advised to do one, it will be better if you consider doing upfront medicals to avoid delays.

Hey,
it's been a while. I am reapplying because I didn't go my graduate degree. Ended up staying back and I am now hoping to go this fall. So I reapplied for the visa again

Thanks! Can't believe it's been 2 years

KejiA:
Hi, I have a question for those that have travelled to Canada recently.
After my 3 days quarantine can I continue my 11 days in my rented apartment which I would be sharing with other people or I have to quarantine in Airbnb before I can move to my apartment.

Hello KejiA,

The remaining 11 days of quarantine can be done in a shared apartment (with available spaces) and with no presence of vulnerable persons like children or elderlies.

Even if there are children or elderly, you should not share a room, toilet, and even utensils; and if you must walk around, you must have a facemask on.

Jojo257:
Hello guys, it seems from the landing gists that a school fees receipt is being asked for at the borders. If someone hasn’t paid their fees yet by the time they want to travel is there any other way to show proof of funds.

Hello Jojo257,

It is not always asked and if does, it is triggered by the discretion of the CBSA officer and this may not be the case for others.

If asked and you haven't, but have the deposit payment receipt, boldly enlighten the officer of the DLI's tuition payment instruction and present the available evidence.

If there is none (a receipt of payment or otherwise), simply state that you were instructed to make payment upon class resumption or your sponsor will make the payment from your home country before class resumption.

n.b. the questions or things being asked at the POE do not follow a generic transcript and could take between 1min – 3mins, more or less) followed with warm, charming, calm, and friendly smiles.

Is it advisable to add your spouse to your student visa application?

Hello Gracedson,

It will not necessarily be a problem if the officer does not request an updated BS from you. It is advised to have the funds readily available and easily accessible just in case an updated BS is requested.

Nobody expects you, especially if you are a business to tie your funds down, but in all this, the funds should be readily available/accessible.

Hello Opeoyek,

It is only advised if you and/or your spouse (accompanying) have the financial capacity, reliable source of funds, and good socioeconomic (home) ties.

Other than this, not advised.
