Don’t discourage people, 70% of international student pay 50-100% of fees working here. The fees are extremely high to begin with. How many people have that sitting in their account. If you have the money fine but all one need to study abroad is the will not even money…

Tayosteve:



Good evening, we are in the same shoes. Please can I get more clarification for this study permit application November 1 restriction for NBCC. I'll like fo know if this applies to people that chose a shortage course i.e their course can fly for PGWP. I got admitted for PGD in International Business. I'm anticipating your response please, thanks.

gaeul:
I had some money when I went to Canada but my 42,000 sch fees was paid with working here with so many extra savings. Internship alone was $10,000 for 2 months. My program was 2yrs. I did monthly payment plan. I didn’t spend a penny from my Nigeria account. I just want to encourage someone that your will and determination is enough. You don’t have to seek asylum, you can get that degree with your will. Just don’t be Lazy, that’s all. Ask questions and surround yourself with positive people. Just to add, my program was 20months and the fees was paid monthly for 20months

Tayosteve:


I got my acceptance on Friday, two days ago. Saint John Campus.

Tolulope1999:
that’s great…I also applied to the Saint John campus. Did you apply very early?

Tayosteve:


Yes, I applied very early. Please is there a WhatsApp group for us for further information?

Predator188:

It is only applicable for those applying for pgwp on or after November 1,pgwp will be linked to labour shortage in canada..
They will reduce pgwp duration to programs not in demand in canada..
It can include your program as it is not a labour shortage program in canada and you are at public college.

Tolulope1999:
honestly haven’t found one yet… we can create one and add other members as the time goes🤷🏽‍♀️

Jeboy:
I still believe you are exaggerating. Tell us how you paid 42k CAD in 20 months with student work (limited hours). Were you staying in a free house in Canada and you are not paying monthly. Note that you will not pay less than 600 to 700 CAD per month for a shared apartment ( the cheapest available) and thar alone is about 700 x 20 (14k CAD) aside feeding, transport, clothing and other basic bills.

You keep deceiving others for them to get entrapped and be at the mercy of asylum seeking or ircc refusing them pgwp due to overwork beyond stident limit.

This is not to discourage others but the best you can fund with a student job is your living expenses cost (not your tuition) that is when you even get a job and the 20hours shift.

Now a lot of student are refused pgwp by ircc cos they flouted the student working hours due to temptation to work more and meet up. Guys don't ruin your efforts. Plan your financing moderately and stop falling for this trap. The reality of Canada today has changed from the 2022/2023 and eatlier days. Even 24 hrs student work has been brought back to 20 hours because of student abuse. Our folks like abusing system they met decently.

Predator188:

This is practically impossible to pay 100% tuition fees, unless you work full-time per week upto 40 hours per week and plus overtime during holiday time, some companies pay more for working overtime, that is 1.5 times the regular hourly wages and resides in province where housing is cheap not possible currently with 20 hours per week...I know some students paying tuition fees without 3rd party support but not doing well in competitive courses,some have no choice than to change courses..They can also file income tax coming year get some money back from cra add to pocket money..

Rob93:


Has there been any update on your portal?? Like medical or anything??

Jeboy:
Are you serious or chasing clout? You even have the audacity to quote percentage.

Do you know how much is living cost or you think Canada is Nigeria that you pay 800k naira per annum for accommodation.

My spouse has worked over 1k hours in 9 months during limited and break period yet I send not less than 800k per month to support her tuition and living expenses from Nigeria aside from additional support for school fees. This is College oh not Masters.

Why do you deceive the public to entrap them? For what purpose?

A well-written statement of purpose with supporting documents is vital in addressing such reasons. A review of the following questions could help you determine how to address the issues related to you.
What are the job prospects in Nigeria after completing the program? Is the program worth the cost? Was your salary small? Did you submit sufficient employment documents like an employment letter, pay slips or bank statements showing your monthly salary, Work ID, etc.? Were you recently employed?

There are many reasons why a VO might have an issue with your intention to pursue studies. One such reason is redundancy concerning previous education. So, order your GCMS note to know the concern of the VO.

How can students improve their chances of getting Canada Study visa?

Canada has adopted a Zero Net Growth model for allocating study permits this year — for every student who leaves the country, one more can enter. Here what you need to do to maximise your chances of getting a student visa.

In January, 2024 Canada capped the number of visas it will issue to international students. Now, it has revised the final allocation of attestation letters, a mandatory document for the issuance of study permits for international students by a province or territory.

Notably, some provinces have been allocated more attestation letters than others, meaning that despite Canada’s cap on visas, students can increase their chances of getting a visa if they choose their destination carefully.

Here is how:

Canada has adopted a Zero Net Growth model for allocating study permits under the national cap this year, signifying a one-for-one replacement policy — for every student who leaves the country, one more can enter.

According to the revised allocation, provinces and territories in Canada can issue a total of 552,095 attestation letters, with an estimated approval of 291,914 study permits, a 28% decrease compared to the previous year.

Moreover, around 20% students in the current national cap will be those who apply for an extension of their study permit each year.

There are also exemptions for specific student categories such as primary and secondary school students, and masters’ and doctoral degree students The number of such students was around 140,000 in 2023, and is expected to remain the same this year.

Examining provincial allocations key:

Students have historically preferred study in Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta provinces. Ontario’s Greater Toronto Area (GTA), and BC’s Surrey and Vancouver have been the top destinations.

“Out of 10 students, 7 or 8 prefer these three provinces,”

Now, students should instead prioritise provinces and territories that have seen a substantial increase in attestation letters and, consequently, study permits.

Despite overall cap, some provinces see increased allocations. Alberta received an allocation of 40,894 attestation letters, leading to a projected approval of 24,537 study permits (SPs). This marks a 10% increase from the previous allocation. Similarly, Quebec was allocated 1,17,917 letters, compared to 72,716 earlier, also resulting in a 10% increase of projected SPs approved (43,629).

Saskatchewan received an allocation of 15,054 attestation letters, representing a 10% increase, with a projected 7,226 SPs to be approved.

Newfoundland saw an allocation of 3,153, again a 10% increase from the previous year, with approval of 1,419 SPs projected. Nunavut received 333 allocations this year, marking a staggering 6,567% uptick from 2023, with a projected SPs at 200. Similarly, Northwest Territories received 333 allocations, also reflecting a remarkable 4,900% increase from 2023, with a projected SPs at 200.

Although Nova Scotia experienced an increase in allocation letters from 12,906 to 20,378, the projected SPs approval rate remained unchanged at 7,744. Finally, Yukon also witnessed a significant increase of 205 per cent in allocation, with 417 attestation letters issued and a projected SPs of 250.

Look beyond traditional destinations:

Experts suggest while Ontario remains a preferred choice due to its large allocation, considering less-fancied provinces might yield better results. Ontario with 2,35,000 attestation letters allocated, projects to issue roughly 141,000 SPs — a 41% decrease as compared to 2023. Given the sheer number of applications that this province receives, the chances of rejection are very high.

Similarly, British Columbia has experienced an 18% decrease in allocations.

In a nutshell, while the revised allocations may pose challenges, strategic planning and exploration of diverse study destinations can significantly improve students’ visa success rates in Canada.
