Okay thanks for sharing your experience. I assumed the poster's NIN already bears the new name.

Tipzey:
From my experience of name change at the NIS Abuja:
I got to the immigration office with the NIN slip that bears my old name. Though I had already changed my name and done the newspaper publication before going to the NIS office. But when I got there I was told I had to redo the NIN registration cos they could only accept the NIN slip that bears my new name. Thank God I was helped, I had to immediately redo the NIN registration at the immigration office and was immediately given a new NIN slip that bears my new name. I was also asked to provide an affidavit of name change which I did at another office in NIS. It was quite easy for me because I had someone that helped me who only referred me to the appropriate places .
I hope this helps.

Yes. They already given Sponsorship letter and gift deed. And it was all notorized. But didn't include that board resolution, so thinking of adding it now. Hope it not to be NOTORIZED

No need to NOTORIZE board resolution.

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.

Best of Luck

Thank you sir

My own concern is somewhat related and preferably want a practical example

What if the main applicant is fully funded
(35k+)and got NSE request. How will I demonstrate financial strenght on the my bank statement or the upload section that I can cover for both of us in the first year.

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.

Best of Luck

Thank you

Hello guys,

I JUST LOST MY DAD TODAY.

The pain is soooo unbearable.....

i know how it feels. Accept my condolence.

I want to go for a second Masters degree, what are my chances considering the factor of study progression reasons?

Hello everyone,

I am putting together my Canadian study permit application and I would like to know

I actually don't have any volunteer experience during my study gap

What advice would you give for someone like me who didn't do much during their study gap?

Thank You

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.



Best of Luck

Okay, thank you so much.

And what are the guidelines

So I did my upfront medicals on the 19th that's last week Wednesday, on Friday 21st IOM called that the results will be uploaded that day. I have been busy and not able to upload the e-medical form. I tried uploading this night only to see update of medical passed without uploading the form IOM gave me.

I have medicals appointment with IOM on 3rd June at 8am. I've been monitoring the vfs booking platform for biometrics to get appointment for same 3rd June or a day before or after. Getting an excuse to leave work to travel as far as Lagos has been a tricky one.

Do you think I can still achieve doing biometrics same day with medicals?

Yes you can achieve both same day. Biometrics normally doesn’t take much time. Mine was concluded in less than an hour and I went straight for medicals same day.

Hello Guys

Which of the govt. hotel is the cheapest for the 3-days Quarantine in Toronto and how much is it?

Thanks

Well done guys. I have about 10yrs gap in my studies, no volunteering work experience but funds is not a problem. Please will I still be eligible for a post graduate studies in Canada? NB: I graduated with a 2.2 in English and also have a family with a PR in the country. Thanks

Cc: Frankrobbn1 @Justmellow @Adiekwe1@Lekiboboe @NairaLuck @justwise

Guys, please my eligibility review started 2 weeks after I submitted my application in February ( I used NSE).
My biometrics and medicals have not been updated on my profile as “complete” and “passed” respectively, even after raising webforms.
Please note that I have a PR application so I did my biometrics and medicals last year already with no issues.
Should I be worried or is this normal? Also I was getting a lot of ghost updates for a while, but now, nothing. Any views?

Since feb 17

It’s going to one month since I applied and my eligibility review has not started. But I’m seeing people that eligibility review started for them after 2-3 weeks of applying. Should I be worried?

Hello,

Please, what is a reasonable NGN to CAD exchange rate to use? I got 311 from OANDA. Hope that is fine?

Congratulations...

Please did you fill a custodian form for her or you are the one accompany her?
