DereI:It is illegal to work off campus if you are not yet enrolled in school. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-offcampus.asp Your friend has been admitted to school but is not enrolled as her session hasn't started yet. To be eligible to work legally, the international student has to have been enrolled in school already. Your friend is exploiting a loophole, but it is not legal.The more people exploit this loophole, the more immigration officers at the POE will scrutinize those who show up in Canada months before school begins. This could affect your friend when she applies for PGWP. Not worth the risk. 10 Likes 1 Share |

PureRuby: @PureRuby, you mentioned above that you had a low 2.2GPA and got admitted into MSc, please can you specify the grade? I'm asking because I have 2.2lower and I'm weighing my chances for an MSc program. Lastly, I sincerely pray that God will make a way for you concerning the tuition request by CIC. You're almost there Sis. Try your human best and God will work the rest. AMEN. 2 Likes |

Nwakire29: Yes that's some/most schools (universities and colleges policy) 2. All school or most school would refund you in full. They would only deduct administrative charges which would be communicated to you, usually written on their wedbsite |

fembas316: Online application are accessed anywhere in the world. Not necesasaryly Ghana, even thou you are a Nigerian. If you want to know who approved your visa, checking the issuing office and you would see who approve the visa. But I do think Lagos do print the visa on their behalf. Mine was approved by Nairobi, Kenya, but was submitted to Lagos according to vFS. |

CanadianNurse: Airlines don't usually have wifi. Even devises/ mobile phones are meant to be off or flight mode activated. Only when you get to Canada airport, there should be free wifi. |

5454Darese: Hello boss, The first sentence might not be true. AirCanada has an onboard wifi...This is a new development. |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 12 by CanadianNurse: 5:08am On Jul 09, 2017 |
5454Darese:Very very wrong bro.... Your device is meant to be on flight mode only during take off and landing and I have used an Emirates and also Lufthansa flight that had a functional Wi-Fi working on them even with USB charging spots on the arm rest ... Get your facts right bro I'm only asking cos some planes don't have the feature... While some might limit such features to a particular ticket class (first class or business) 1 Like |

thesoj: You are right on the money again TheSoj. But how will they know she is working illegally, except someone reports her to the authorities? I know that in the U.S., international students exploit this loophole in working off campus more than the stipulated 20 hours because Internal Revenue Service is distinct from other government departments and by law doesn't share its data with the Immigration and Naturalization Service. I am almost sure this is the same in Canada. Or one can simply work under the table (income tax not reported). It's illegal, but people will always do what they have to do to survive. Some have hardship. it's better though to take time and do due diligence to research and find scholarship before you get to Canada. Life will be easier and your academics won't suffer. 1 Like |

5454Darese: That's wrong. Most airlines have wifi on board. It's usually signified on the body of the plane inside. You can also know when u check online, line check your booking online from the airline website, it shows you facilities onboard. However, not all aircraft do have the wifi, Lufthansa, Emirates, British airways, Qatar, air Canada etc has even for domestic flights but definitely you pay for the wifi and it's only accessible at a certain height in the sky. |

5454Darese:Not necessarily true. Most international flights have on air wifi. |

CanadianNurse: Goodmorning, I just looked through their features but Wifi wasnt mentioned. Although people i know that used it came online when they got to Casablanca. So maybe there is Wifi at the airport lounge over there.. No idea. |

jnyuwa02: Nothing remains hidden in Canada, as long as the job is detailed around her SIN Number, she's paying taxes and her T4 and other things are tied to it. About immigration knowing, I assume that for PGWP, she would need to submit her tax assessment/option C, it could be evident there. CRA and ICRC share information, please guys, nothing is hidden in Canada, don't jeopardize the long haul with little mistakes. 5 Likes |

Hello esteemed members! Please I need your prompt assistance on below questions. 1. Is it possible to convert 2 or 5 years Canada visit/business visa to work visa on getting to Canada without being an illegal immigrant? 2. How long can one stay with 2/5 years visit/biz Canada visa? is it for the whole visa period or you have to leave after 3 months like the way they operate in the US if you don't want to end up being an illegal immigrant. 3. If one has an admission offer and later got a visit visa to Canada can he/she just walk in to the institution and request the visit visa to be converted to a student visa on getting to Canada? I would really appreciate genuine information from members on this regard, as I'm trying to weigh my possible options before making final decision whether to go on visit visa (I have a potential good link to procure the visit visa) or with study visa and convert to work/study visa on getting to Canada. |

debbiejosh:This is true. I think we should be careful. I have read a lot of these cases on canadavisa(dot)com. These people come running and seeking for help and when you find out, it's because of working extra hours or illegally. Sometimes, people get away with it but why gamble. If they don't find out when applying for PGWP, they might find out when it's PR time. We really don't want to jeopardize our chances of getting PR for the extra $2,000 we made while working before classes started. Please let's try to do all our hustle in Nigeria if we really need extra cash before school resumes. 1 Like |

kaizenBash:You cannot convert a visit or business visa to a study visa, you have to apply fresh for a study visa. You also have to come back home to apply for the study visa. So best thing for you is to leave getting the visit visa idea (cos you don't have it yet) and focus on getting an admission and applying for your study permit from Nigeria. |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 12 by Markab: 9:53am On Jul 09, 2017 |
3. You can't convert visit visa to student visa from inside Canada. You need to leave Canada to apply for study permit kaizenBash: |

@Austinpee4, @Mcboex, @Canadian Nurse @Oseimgho please i was refused visa yesterday based on the following. I submitted on 31/May/2017. 1-)insufficient fund and available resources 2-)Purpose of visit 3-)Travel history please i want to apply for GCMS note. I want you guys to clarify me, whether I'm to fill the GCMS note form first before applying or I'm i to pay first before filling the form? I hope to hear from you guys soon |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 12 by jnyuwa02: 10:22am On Jul 09, 2017 |
debbiejosh: I guess there is difference then after all, if you are sure. It's good to know. In the U.S., no information sharing and when applying for permanent residency, showing you have been paying taxes is not required. Please I will advice you not work more than the stipulalated 20 hours. Be smart about it if you have to and cover your holes. Your studies should be the priority regardless. The school finding out you work illegally can result in you been placed on social probation or kicked out enirely. Be smart by desisting. |
