It’s for admission. The application portal opens in September and I want to apply in September (although the deadline for my post graduate program is 1st of February 2022) Is it too early to get the English proficiency letter from my university or do I wait till August? getting it from your university won't make it expire. I got mine 2020 and used it for admission 2021. 1 Like |

lushk: I am sharing my timeline to encourage everyone…. I got a lot of Info from Nairaland and I hope this helps at least one person.
I reached out to an agent initially that gave me a bill of 1500 USD, when I converted to Naira, I decided to do my application my self. Thank God for grace and patience.
First time applicant -age 30 Program of study- MBA School- Rotman school of management - University of Toronto I got partial scholarship but still needed to show how I will fund the balance and my expenses.
So prior to my study permit application, I had two expired EE application my score was low so I didn’t get ITA. This made me nervous cos it was a proof that I would be looking for PR after my studies and I wasn’t sure if it would affect their decision.
Submitted my application February 19 with Upfront Medicals and my bank statement Biometric request Feb 20 Biometrics updated to pass Feb 24 Medical updated to pass Feb 26 NSE request for IELTS Feb 25 Submitted IELTS- Mar 27 BVL May 31 PPR June 1
I graduated in 2011, and I have worked in the financial services industry since 2011 from my NYSC posting. I got my Chartered financial analyst (CFA) certification in 2019 so my LOE was focused on saying I needed the MBA for career progression and to take on leadership position. I also spoke about the need for investment analysts to have a global training to prevent mismanaging large funds and negatively affecting the Nigerian capital markets.
I attached pictures of my family members, got a study leave, letter of intro and my payslips from my employer.
For economic ties I used my 75% of my pension, my car and my equity investment. The 25% of my pension I stated I would use it for my funding during my studies. The PFA gave me a letter to support this.
For funding, the first page was a letter explaining all lump sums and where they came from and I stated that it was to show sufficient liquidity. I included two tables one showing all my expected expenses for two years and all my funding. Then I included a summary table showing both incase there was any confusion that the funding was more than the expense.
My program is for 2 years so I had to show how I intended to finance it for the total duration. I didn’t want to inform any relatives so I had to sponsor my self. I got my admission in October, didn’t apply till February because of funding, I used this time to consolidate my finances and also apply for loans. I applied to Prodigy ( I was rejected) and Mpower( I got approved).
The school had an immigration lawyer that also helped me look through my letters and my forms
wow! This is Huge sir, you are the real boss. Congratulations! 5 Likes 1 Share |

School has nothing to do with Visa Approval Chances, as far as the school is a DLI (Designated Learning Institute), offers PGWP (Post Graduate Work Permit), and your do the needful on your STUDY VISA APPLICATION, you are good to go.
CAMBRIAN COLLEGE is a DLI & offers PGWP
There are loads of CAMBRIAN COLLEGE STUDENTS on this platform who have gotten their Visa Approved. Thank you sir for your response.
As far you can do your diligence in your Study Visa Application, you are good to go with Cambrian College |

Hello Please I'll like to know I already booked for q life..but while I was making the appointment and payment there wasn't any form or questionnaire on whether I want upfront medical is it when I get to the hospital I'll tell them it's upfront medical I want to do. Teenie19: You can either book with Qlife or IOM. You have to tell them you want to do upfront medical. There is a fee attached and then they will send your result to IRCC. They will give you a form as well which you can upload via webform.

Really? Well, before I got a mail notifying me for NSE document request, I got a mail saying," your application has been updated" or something along that line, I logged in and nothing was updated so I assumed that was the Ghost update...Then some hours later, I got NSE request mail. Maybe it's different for 3verybody but I just need any form of update on my application, even if nah half ghost update ![smiley](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/smiley.png) 2 Likes |

Greetings to Everyone!
I wnt to apply for a PhD in a Uni in Ontario or Alberta by next fall 2022. I hv a master's already n so I feel going 4 another master's degree will be repetitive. Moreso, I feel a PhD will show academic progression in my Visa app.
However, I'm concerned abt d long duration of d course (4yrs), noting that if I succeed, I will be on a study permit visa/TRV for abt 4 yrs plus. Given d uncertainties of Ircc laws, I feel d earlier d better in evrything. Knowing that my major aim of going 4 d program is to get a PR.
My Questions are: is there any possibility or route thru whc a PhD student can get a PR while still studying in Ontario or Alberta or any other province, thru provincial nomination. My course is not available in New Brunswick Uni.
Must I complete the program bf I can apply for a PR?
Getting PR thru SOWP for spouse doesn't apply to me cos I ain't yet married.
I don't mind taking TEF Canada if there would be an opportunity thru d French path in any province.
Pls am open to all gud suggestions.

So I eventually got my refusal letter today, a bit relieved because of the long wait, now I am ready to tackle the issues head on. The major problem I have though is the financial aspect. My sponsor sent an approximation of CAD 10,000 to my personal account just yesterday, I am also able to access more funds, however I am of the opinion that this may seem suspicious to the VO, if more lump sum amount is suddenly being deposited to my personal account, I really need the advise of all the experts on this. 1 Like |

I don’t think you need your UCI number if it’s upfront medicals. Your international passport is very important (you would also be given a UMI number and a document that you’ll upload along with your application.) I did my upfront medicals before submitting my application. There’s also a form that’s generated once you select upfront medicals on your application (you also need to go with that) |

Hello everyone, I just wanted to share my timeline and encourage those who are still waiting for a positive response. It will come. Not to type too much, see timeline below:
Submitted my application October 2, 2020 Biometric request October 3, 2020 Biometrics updated to passed October 10, 2020 NSE Request November 19, 2020 Submission of NSE requirements Nov 26, 2020 Medical Invitation January 19, 2021 Medical passed January 30, 2021 February 2021- Silence March 2021- More silence
By now, I had deferred my Winter admission to Spring. I believed that the approval will come by then.
April 2021- Still nothing
Deferral to Winter 2022 term application submitted May 18, 2021
BVL May 19, 2021 PPR May 19, 2021
It took almost 8 months. I believed that I would get it, I just didn't know when. I sent emails and raised webforms but I don't know if they made any real difference.
I sent my passport and other documents to VFS Abuja 21st May and I got it back 31st May. That's less than 2 weeks.
I am very happy and grateful.
If you know anyone in Conestoga College willing to help an incoming student with settlement planning, I would appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. I have plenty questions for that person.
