Dec 6th - Got a mail and a text that my passport had been stamped and was ready for pickup.

All Documents Submitted;
1) Application of study permit made outside Canada (imm1294e)
2) Letter of Acceptance
3) Scanned Copy of Passport Info Page
4) Proof of Funds (which includes Letter of Explanation of Funding Support, Letter of Financial Support and Affidavit from Sponsor, Scanned Copy of Sponsors ID, Sponsors 6-Months Bank Statement and Reference Letter from Bank, Sponsors insurance Certificates, Sponsors CAC certificate, Sponsors Contract Memos for her company, Sponsors property Documents (3 properties), Sponsors 6 months Payslips, Sponsors Appointment and Promotion Letters, Sponsors personal cars documents, My First Semester tuition payment Receipt)
5) My Digital Photo
6) Upfront E-Medical Information Sheet
7) Family Information (imm5645e)
Family Birth Certificate (4 siblings, 2 parents)
9) Parents Marriage Certificate
9) Application for a TRV made outside Canada (imm5257b)
10) Client Information (which includes SOP, Acceptance Letter from my PPA during NYSC year which ended in March, University Certificate, Transcript, WAEC Result, NYSC Certificate, Online Certificates related to my preferred course of study)
12) Different Pictures of myself and all my family members at my sister's wedding, my matriculation, my mother's convocation (Most of the pictures were of myself and my mom who is my sole sponsor).

I applied by myself with all the information I got from Nairaland and YouTube. All the sponsorship letters I wrote by myself, and just gave my mom to sign and scanned. I also paid my tuition with Form A even though it was a hassle, I disturbed FCMB with emails and calls for three months before it was finally disbursed. I lost my Dad a week before I applied, but I thought against including his death certificate so it doesn't affect the application. I don't know, but I feel the application was approved because it was backed with a lot of supporting documents to prove my sponsor is really established in Nigeria and can afford to fund my stay and schooling in Canada. I also wrote a very detailed SOP about why I was going to study for a post secondary diploma even though I had a Bsc which is higher and also in a totally different field, I explained the importance to my career growth and I also emphasized that after my studies I was going to come back to Naij and pursue a career and take care of my mom most importantly.

All these couldn't have been possible without God's intervention though, so I just suggest that we all involve God in all the processes as much as we can. This journey has really thought me to never underestimate the power of prayers.
I hope this helps somebody and I wish speedy approvals to everyone hopeful for a decision.

See y'all in Canada soon!!!!

IRCC has temporary policies that allow international students to take programs online and still be eligible for PGWP. You can complete up to 50% of your course online, and it will be counted towards PGWP up until August 31, 2023. So, you can complete your first semester in Nigeria and arrive in Canada for the second semester. IRCC implemented these policies due to the impact of COVID-19 on international students and Canadian institutions.

Good morning. Please gurus in the house, i had my medical 7weeks ago and applied 6wks a go but my medical hasn’t been updated yet. Can I start sending web forms so my medical atleast be updated?

BelfastRounder:
Good day everyone, I'm in a dilemma atm.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical engineering with above 4.2 CGPA overall. I have about 5 years of work experience in the field of software engineering and intend to apply for a masters degree in computer science/Software engineering/Systems Engineering to a reputable school in Canada (Calgary, Alberta, UBC, Waterloo).

Right now I've been receiving conflicting information suggesting that with a Bachelors in MEE, I cannot get admission to study Systems/Software/Computer science as a masters degree in top Universities in Canada.

Does anyone have proof of this assertion being true?

Any first hand tale on whether this is possible or should I just abort mission?

Thanks and awaiting your helpful responses.

I believe you can. Although in my own case, my upfront medical was updated after 6 weeks of submitting application and my BVL and PPR dropped minutes later.

olokings:
He detailed his case argument obviously.

These oyinbo people they want you to be transparent and upfront with everything information that will support your eligibility review.

congrasts to him again.

Since you have 5yrs experience in Software Engineering, i think you will easily get the admission. Just ensure your SOP is well drafted.

Hi Everyone. I have gone through the thread, and its been really helpful. I am looking to apply for a Post Graduate Diploma or Master degree for my brothers wife with a Second class lower degree in Yoruba Education from Tai Solarin University of Education. I will like your advise on the possible options and if there is a change to get a admitted for a Masters degree in Education (which is the preferred option) offered by University of Saskatchewan.

Funding will be covered by the husband for school fees and proof of funds.

Note she intend to travel with her husband and 2 kids.

Thank You.

What you need to do is get an updated Letter of acceptance from your school showing that you would be starting by September 2023. After getting the updated letter of acceptance all you have to do is inform IRCC by sending them your updated letter of acceptance via webform. When you later travel for September resumption , you won't have any problem at the port of entry as long as it's the same program and same school (DLI) as that in the first letter of acceptance.
