[quote author=TWoods post=50231054] Your likelihood of getting a visa to countries like the UK, USA, Canada is already severely limited.[/quo I quite appreciate the effort you put in to answer my question, but I am no longer interested in the study visa thing again. My new vision is to enter Canada through FSW program with my OND Certificate.All I did in the previous post was to give a brief history of my journey so far. I still welcome other contributions as regards my question and anything that could be of help. |

maternal:There are no immigration rule(s) that gives entry clearance officers the authority not to grant student visa to people of over 30 years old. Canada does not discriminate based on age, gender or culture. A friend of mine got his younger brother who is over 30 years old here just last month via student visa. He resumed a diploma program at the local college here. Another friend got his brother-in-law into the country last year semptember. He is over 30 years too. The two lads both attend the same college(red river college). In addition to that, there are countless numbers of Nigerians over 30 years of age attending various msc and phd programs in universities all over canada. Having lots of money in the bank or access to credit does not translate to easy visa issuance. Infact, the ECO might see your house(s) or car(s) as a liability if not fully paid off. My wife's colleaugue, a pharm from nigeria just resumed at the university of manitoba. She is over 30. She got scholarship offered by uni of manitoba just enough to pay her school fees and keep her alive every month. She had less than a million in her account in Nigeria when she applied, yet she was granted a study permit. "It is left for your cousin to prove to the ECO beyond reasonable doubt that he or she is a genuine student". 5 Likes |

shinarambo1: This is the government of Canada not the government of the world. Their goal is to build and maintain a 1st world country and that requires allowing people into the country that'll help it grow, specifically economically. Yes Canada does not discriminate against age, gender and culture on paper, but they still do. When applying with the federal government here they ask for your race. They're trying to recruit more minorities into the federal government because they're under-represented and usually get discriminated against. Police tend to arrest and charge more minorities than white, even though whites make up more of the population. My friend though illegal, discrimination does happen in Canada and the fed gov't has admitted that. But like I said immigration issues is not black and white and everyone's case is different/unique. The recruiter and agent at the college both said your chances drastically reduce once you're 30 and up. While you have listed a few which beat the odds, do you know how many student visa's get refused based on that ? Furthermore, if the country is lacking a certain profession or if your phd is on something potential revolutionary, I'm sure they'd grant a visa. Again everyone's situation is different and unique. I'm going by my current experience and what the advisers, agent and lawyers have been telling me. Lastly, how many peoples houses are paid off in the west ? Would I be less of a liability if I was renting a house while being on welfare ? I own my house, car is paid off, and I work in the oilfields in Alberta making losts of money. And the amount they require I have and more in my account cash. That's my money no loans. I have spent thousands of dollars on lawyer fees. He is a legit student and wants to continue his studies here and eventually stay. He has done 2 years of Uni in naija and has all the documents to prove it. 3 Likes |

Hello shinarambo1, thanks for your contribution. I also have intentions to migrate to Manitoba and I'm sure your contributions will be very helpful. I have completed my ITA under MPNP SW. however, my status in still on document received for a while now and it has not changed. My supporter confirmed that he was contacted two weeks ago. Please do you have an idea of how long it takes from when MPNP application submitted and the eventual nomination out. shinarambo1: |

Just a quick question Is ones years of experience caculated after studies? I started working in my field in 2011 and in 2013 I enrolled for my masters while still working. I resigned from the work December 2015 after working for four years and three months to go for a program outside Nigeria; still in the program though. My question is will my 4 experience still count despite not working now and doing a masters in between? |
Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by richieadeolu: 6:11am On Oct 18, 2016 |
Thank anyway, just hoping that the PNP will be faster because it's modelled to mimic express entry. shinarambo1: |

Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by vcole: 5:27pm On Oct 18, 2016 |
@maternal and @shinarambo1 just to chip in. The issue of discrimination is not exactly new. It happens everywhere in the world in varying degrees. While you fill race, in Nigeria, you fill state of origin. So potatoe potato. It may be true that the chances of a 30 year old applying to study towards a first degree might reduce chances of an easy student visa grant to any country. However, I do not think that that factor in isolation is the basis on which any responsible visa officer would be able to refuse a student visa applicant. A 30 year old with significant post secondary study and/or work experience definitely will not fall into this category. So, for instance, someone who studied nursing or an OND and then worked for years after and then now wants to go study towards a bachelors most certainly stands a better chance than one who only holds a high school diploma with little or no work experience. Also, when it comes to financial support for studies, it's pretty common knowledge that most embassies prefer a first degree relative to any other family member or friend. So, if maternal was sponsoring her 30 year old sibling this would be a much easier visa app. If also, this cousin has been under your financial sponsorship for years before now and there is significant paper trail to prove that, then this app would also be easier. In a nutshell, reasons for visa refusals are usually multi factorial. While there are cases of seemingly flimsy refusals, I do believe that they represent the minority and are not the norm as I also like @shinarambo1 know of several persons in their 30s who have successful gotten student visas to Canada over the past one year. 1 Like |

Finally, my school has found WES letter. It was received since May 25th,2016. Nigerian schools sha, God will help them. But, WES has already changed my account status to reflect courier fee, since I told them to resend the verification letter via courier. I have written to them since yesterday to change it back to prior status. Waiting now. Just want to put this WES wahala behind me. |

WOW!!!! I just got ITA. I had no idea there was gonna be a draw today. Gosh! this feels so surreal. I only entered the pool last friday. WOW!!! For other doctors and health professionals, I would try to give details of my process so far and I hope it would help give an idea of timelines if you need it. So, finally decided to start the process for EE in June, 2016. Set up my physicians apply account($278) on 18th June and commenced the SVR ($157) for my medical degree. I sent the necessary copies (all notarized) of documents required by MCC (certified identity confirmation, medical degree, passport bio-data page, consent release form and marriage certificate) via DHL and they acknowledged receipt and uploaded to my account on 29th June. However, I got a message at this point that the copy of my marriage certificate was cut off on one margin and so my medical degree was given an incomplete status until i sent a full copy to them. I had to send by courier again and I was so not happy about paying that DHL fee twice. My medical degree was changed to an accepted status after they received and approved the new copy of my marriage certificate on July 21st. They sent it to ECFMG same day and ECFMG sent the verification request to my school on July 22nd. My school received the request by September 8th (about 7 weeks after it was sent via regular post) and I paid for the reply to be sent via courier on September 14th. It was delivered to ECFMG on September 21st. ECFMG returned my verification: passed to MCC on Oct 7th. (it took about 11 working days as opposed to 20 as advised on their site). I paid for my ECA ($102) same day and courier fee to Nigeria ($140). I received an email on Oct 14th from MCC notifying me that my ECA was ready. (it was issued on OCt 11th. so it took 3 working days as opposed to 21 working days as advised on the site). I received my ECA via courier today. I created my EE profile on Oct 14th with CRS of 482 (claiming 10 points for my spouse's degree and 18 points for his IELTS). ITA received today. Now, time to prep all documents. Congrats to everyone who received an ITA with this recent draw and all the best to everyone still awaiting an invite, it will surely happen soon. 25 Likes 1 Share |
