Bobomaigida: Have started writing it already, I will complete it and send to some gurus in the house to help me check it out. Hope the 1 yr pgd won’t affect it though, or I should just reapply for a 2 yrs pgd? |

It is very possible to get your study permit with a one year program. Since the course relates with your work I think that is fine. But if you finished with a 1st class or 2:1 please go for a masters. Oby2828: |

Landing Gist!!! Lagos to Calgary. It was a long but smooth flight for me. I left Lagos on Sunday 23rd by 10pm, got to the airport around 7, checked my bags in; I had to adjust my things to be 23kg both, I removed some things from my box and put them in the bag containing my food items. My bags weren't checked, the officer just asked why I was travelling and if it was my first time then she let me go) At the Lagos airport, I was asked to show my LOA, enrolment letter (since classes have started), Covid result, passport and ArriveCAN receipt. I was given a yellow form which I filled and submitted at the Immigration stand. Before boarding the flight, my hand luggage was checked but nothing was removed, it was just my laptop, snacks and some clothes that filled my 2 hand luggage. No stress at the Lagos airport actually. I used KLM so we first went to Amsterdam, it was a 7hours flight; food was served but I only ate the chicken - I had snacks with me and I slept most of the time. When we got to Amsterdam, I missed my way and went to the place for exit rather than going to wait for my connecting flight but an officer redirected me (we were about 4 that made this mistake). It was a long wait here (close to 7 hours again) but I spent most of it communicating with my family via the free wifi at the airport. I had 2 devices so when the 1 hour free internet expired on my phone, I switched to my Ipad and started watching a movie (Squid Game) and I switched back to my phone again when that also expired (I didn't sleep at the stopover and I wasn't so bored too, thanks to the free wifi). Time came for us to continue our journey to Calgary and it was a 9 hours journey but smooth as well. I had pasta this time and it wasn't so bad then I continued my sleep. Got to Calgary, had my documents checked, same docs that were checked at the Lagos airport. Was asked to declare my food items (I didn't go with any poultry product, just fish, stockfish, some leaves, egusi, ogbonno, spices, crayfish) then the officer wrote it down on a yellow form and selected me for a random sample(covid test) then I went into another room where I was given my study permit and was told that I could work for up to 20hours per week. From there, I went for the Covid test since I was selected and when I was done there, I was free to go. I wasn't asked to be quarantined since I was fully vaccinated and presented no Covid symptoms. When I got out of the airport, the cold breeze welcomed me so I rushed back into the airport and waited patiently for my host to come pick me up. It's been good so far and my classes are still online so I am still enjoying staying at home. Thanks to everyone that has contributed on this platform, I learnt a lot from here. Congrats to those who have received their PPR and to those still expecting, may it end in praise for you. Amen!!! 48 Likes |

Hello Man SOP - Statement of Purpose An SOP is a letter addressed to the Visa Officer where the applicant talks about the purpose of why he/she is going to study in Canada. Points explained will dwell on 1. How the advanced study complements past academics and how it will brighten up the future career scope. 2. Financial capability of the applicant to finance studies & living costs, 3 Why Canada 4. Why the particular program and why the particular institution.. e.t.c An SOP is applicable to both the first Time applicants and returning Applicants.. LOE - Letter of Explanation An LOE is a letter by the applicant addressed to the Visa Officer explaining what went wrong in previous applications and on what ground it was rejected. How those issues are addressed in the present application. An LOE is mostly for applicants that are re-applying (after their visa has been rejected in past) where they will explain how they have been able to address the concerns of the Visa Officer in the past (refused) application. An LOE is applicable mostly to applicants who are re-applying or 1st-time applicants whose case is complicated.. Peace ManLikeB: 3 Likes |

Patience is a virtue. You will get your medical done, pass it and receive your PPR. In my case they gave me a date which was 5 days to the 30 days deadline, I did not die. Ask yourself this- what if your medical request didn't come now but came next month will you not still do it? Relax your PPR is in the bag DooLiz: |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 20 by Teeprecious: 9:37pm On Oct 27, 2021 |
Hello guys, thank God for me. I got my PPR this afternoon,apparently it's been sitting in my mail since 3.30pm but I had a busy day at work. After work,I went for a program in my church. It was when we closed I checked my phone and realised I had a message in my Gmail. Lo and behold...there sat my approval since 3.30pm this afternoon. This was a reapplication and in my previous application, the VO showed concerns about my funds stating he perceived it was for demonstration purpose only(I saw this in my GCMS notes. Timeline below: Application submission: 14th sept BVL and PPR: 27th Oct. I saw only one ghost update and eligibility never started till after PPR sef. Since the concern was mainly on finance,all I did was pay a year tuition as against the initial tuition deposit I paid. I perceived that if I claimed I was self sponsored and the money accessible to me,why pay the minimum which was the tuition deposit? I only submitted MBS for my pof,snip shot of my student account showing one year tuition,upfront medical,IELTS,LOE and new LOA. Special thanks to all the gurus and everyone taking their time to answer the numerous questions here. For everyone expecting,God will make it speedy and easy for you. 32 Likes |

Then that is very fine, Your Sop is your greatest weapon. Create a subheading for why you want to further your studies and why the chosen program will help you advance in your career and person in general. Be detailed but concise. Please don't state that you want to continue the business in Canada cause I saw that in your post earlier. Oby2828: 1 Like |

KoinsOfLagos: How I sent my Passport to Abuja. I did my Biometrics in Lagos but I sent my passport to Abuja, So I had to pay a transmission fee of NGN 8,920 to this account CANADA LOGISTIC COLLECTION ACCOUNT (a/c no 0065165839) sterling bank. I bought a fresh brown envelope and added the following documents, so follow: - Your International Passport itself (That your passport !!) - Print only 1 copy of the transmission fee payment receipt and put in your envelope - 2 copies of your passport data page (I printed it in colored copy) - Those stapled papers that was given to you after the completion of your Biometrics (put them as it is [original copy] not the photocopy) For those that do not have the Biometrics paper again, your submission of your BVL(the immediate document that drops before your Original passport Letter) will do.. - The PPR letter (1 copy) - 2 copies of the Consent form (I filled and signed the second page only) . Download the consent from here: https://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/dominicanrepublic/pdf/Consent-Form-TTS-English.pdf - A plain sheet of paper where you can write your address and phone number (this is not really needed though, but I added it) NOTE: I paid for 2 ways Courier at DHL and insured it to and fro 2 way courier means: As I am sending my passport to Abuja, I want Abuja to send back my STAMPED passport to the address I stated on the Courier CC: @gracedson 3 Likes |

The hallmark of student permit is being able to apply for PGWP after studies. Unfortunately, there has been changes to how Canada issue PGWP. Not all schools /Programs qualify for PWGP. Before you spend that millions, please check if you are on the right track.
