I did mine in Abuja. Fortunately, my biometric was uploaded after two days. No update on my medical tho. However, I was sent a notification that the results had been sent to IRCC.

Guys, please help.

I have two friends in Canada and they are fueling my confusion.

One said applying for a 2yrs course is better cos it gives 3yrs PGWP.

The other said, I can apply for 1yr course, come into the country, complete the 1yr course. Apply for another 1yr course and then apply for PGWP after completing the second course. That I'd still get the 3yrs PGWP

I need to know which is better. Funds for a two years course is high. It will be good news if the second person is correct.

Please assist me with your counsel. Thank you

Hey House,

I just remembered when I used to be a silent reader here, and I want to share my story to give hope to anyone feeling hopeless. Back in 2015 and 2016, I faced back-to-back visa rejections. However, I finally got my student visa in 2017.

Life hasn't been easy, but I want to encourage anyone going through tough times that it’s worth it—don't be discouraged.

Today, I received my Canadian passport at my house. Yes, I bought a 3-bedroom townhouse 45 minutes from downtown Toronto. I did this by myself, working in tech and saving 20% for the downpayment.

This is to encourage anyone feeling down due to multiple visa rejections or any visa issues. Pray to God and let Him answer you.

I now understand why God made me go through those visa rejections. When I came to Canada, the opportunities that awaited me were the ones He had planned for me. Don’t give up!

MarksmanD:
They are both right.
If you're not sure you can use a 1 year study program to get PR, you can just lockdown on a 2 years course.
It depends on your financial capabilities.

Hello Guys,

Please I need advice on this forum.

I just completed my MSc program in the UK and my wife was offered a 3-year COS in her workplace. Tho she has a Canadian student visa she is meant to travel to Canada this September for her studies(Medical Biotechnology). I have been granted an open work permit too.

We are very confused as to travel to Canada or whether we should stay back in the UK.

No kids yet but she is 2 weeks pregnant.

Two 23kg for check in, one 10kg for carry on and a laptop bag for carry on as well . You do not need a transit visa if Frankfurt is your only stop over before you enter Canada. As for Ghana must go iam not too certain. But other can provide more clarity
Note the 10kg carry on must fit a specific dimension so make sure it is not big

CONGRATULATIONS 👏🏽. KEEP WINNING

I love tech. I am actually an audio/video editor on Fiverr. Can you suggest a lucrative 1yr tech course to study? I have been told severally that getting PGWP with non-health related courses can be difficult. Could you speak on this too.

Thank you soo much

Hi,
Is this type of bags allowed?
I will be flying from Port Harcourt to Canada with this airline.

I want to use them because it doesn't have weight and I can maximise my 23kg well.
I just want to be sure that those airports guys won't mess me up.

Thanks

I am seriously down now,need your advice. I checked my portal yesterday and realised I was denied,one that I didn't prove I will return home and 2, that I don't have sufficient funds.

Permit me to give a detailed explanation. I was denied Visitors visa in January this year, though that was not much of a problem because dollars was very high then. I applied for my student permit like 3weeks ago with 22million as my POF. Why 22m? I got a study loan of 30k dollers from MPower,which covers my fee. Mind you,I am going for master's in project management which could take about 20months. I did that 22m because my fee was out and I have a flight reservation.

However,I allowed my POF to be 3weeks before I applied,and I removed the money the week after I submitted my application.

I need guru's in the house,what could have been wrong with my application? Is there something I should have done I didn't do? I even wrote a letter of explanation to back my POF,just to make the application stronger. I am seriously depressed now,just staying strong. I need advice please.

Hello everyone. I'm new here.
I'm just about to start my own relocation journey and I don't know how to start.
First off, I have an aunt in the US who's likely going to be my sponsor. I already have a BSc in human physiology (2'1) here in Nigeria but I want to go back to school for Medicine. Now my aunt suggested it's better I move to US/Canada first via another course program and then I can work towards getting into med school from there as it'll be a bit easier since I'll already be out of Naija (the processes involved in getting into med school in the US and Canada is quite complex esp from outside the countries).
So she asked that I search for schools in Canada (we ruled out US because of how complex their visa issuance can be) that I can gain admission into and then relocate. What I'd like to know now is;
• Is Canada study visa still a bit obtainable as at now?
• Will her serving as my sponsor work out?
• How many hours can students work in Canada? (She ruled out Canada because she said their work hours for students isn't enough
• How feasible will it be to begin my med school journey upon completion of my Canadian program?
• Is there any other route I can probably use instead? Because thinking of how I'll have to finish a 2yrs course first before starting what I actually want is making the whole thing tiring.
Lastly, please where do I begin my process/journey from? I've checked google and the information is overwhelming.
I'll appreciate suggestions, Thanks.

MarksmanD:
From your explanation and what I got, you're doing 20 months study program and your POF is 22m. This isn't enough for the 2 years study program you're going for. You need at least 44m POF for the 2 years study program.

Even those who studied at the best medical school in Canada, the University of Toronto, don't want to work in Canada.

One reason is that they can't get placement after school and it's even difficult to get into medical school

That's a discussion for any day

About 70% of medical students move to the USA after medical school in Canada.

Google "most difficult country to be a doctor" and guess what? Canada will come up.

There are only so many working physicians with the time and resources to take in students while the healthcare system continues to be strained and doctors are overtaxed.

Don't waste your time trying to be a doctor in Canada.

In my honest opinion, these are just facts, no feelings.

It highly depends on what you want from the country. I can't recommend anything specific, but I advise against going for a one-year program unless you have a serious plan for obtaining your PR after working for one year. Remember, schooling for one year will get you a one-year work permit, and it's difficult to get a job right out of school unless you are highly proactive.

It typically takes an average of 4 to 6 months to secure a job. Life after school is difficult without a plan; the country isn't the same as it used to be, 2015 to 2022 Golden immigration years in Canada so you need a serious plan.

For tech jobs like software development, product manager, program manager, business analyst, software engineer, automation system engineer, or system DevOps engineer, you will have better job prospects.

I can't recommend anything specific, but be aware that Justin Trudeau will be out of power by October 20, 2025, and the new conservative government might not be as kind to immigration as the current administration.

As of today, you can get a PGWP as long as your school is approved by the government. I can't remember the exact name, but it's better to do a Master's degree if you have a BSc from Nigeria.

A lot of things are changing daily with immigration, so plan for life after school because the country isn't as welcoming as before.

That's my honest opinion.

I recently got refused a study visa for undergraduate studies at university of prince Edward Island. The reason for the refusal was purely financial and none of the you won't come back things. Particularly from the 220a and 220b section of their IRCC laws sha. So I'm planning on reapplying I was told that I have to write a letter of explanation addressing all the reasons I was refused so I'll do that. My dad took out a yearly loan from one of the hospitals he works with and they agreed to fund him 20 million naira yearly for 4 years at 5% per annum. My parents are also planning on paying the full tuition for a year which would leave about 40 million left in the account for POF as they are my main sponsors. Should my dad write in his sponsor letter the amount he earns yearly on average?, I've already registered my courses would that add to anything?, gurus ant suggestions and advice would be nice thank you. I really don't know how to navigate this thing for real.
