Hello my MUN brother, For your notice, memorial university don't accept scanned or mailed transcripts. Every supporting documents must be officially sent to the Registrar office through courier by the authorized body. It must be sealed and kept in closed Envelope.

As for the credit cards you mentioned above, GTB master card has a limit of 100$ per month and you are making payment of 120$. So you can see it doesn't fly.

It will be better if you use a dollar account to make your payment or better still ask anyone here to help you make payment.

please if I may ask you, Are you going for undergraduate program or postgraduate studies?

Frankrobbn1:


for those that have used http://gcmsnow.com/ before to order for his/her GCMS note?

I used my GTB master card and it went through,they charged me 23USD - 8357k.

I was asked to fill the form attached to my mail and send it back to them.

Frankrobbn1:


You welcome bro. Please GTB master card is now $1000 monthly, so I think you should go ahead and get a master card from them for international transactions.

Well, by the grace of God we will all be there. I'm still a TRV aspirant for now.

jnyuwa02:


But truth also be spoken, I have never seen anyone with a full scholarship turned down for a TRV. Or has anyone seen? Means that there is hope for me then. Mighty congrats mighty man of varlor, I have gone ahead and pm'ed you! Why did you need to submit an affidavit of support pledging 20k Canadian towards your studies if you have full scholarship already?

wealth360:

Thanks broda lol



Yes, I did my biometrics at VFS global Abuja


Online

Please gurus in the house i need to get some info right. I read somewhere in the CIC website that international students with some kinds of funding/ scholarship from Canada will not qualify for Post Graduation Work Permit. Is this true? What do you know about this?

dapoddon:
I think it's at the discretion of the department to grant the UMGF. My department for instance doesn't require any special application for the UMGF asides ur application for admission. So I believe it's automatic once your profile is a perfect fit. My deadline was also January. What dept did you apply to?

jnyuwa02:


I think this guy wanted to know whether you went ahead and did your biometrics by yourself and submitted it even before they requested it? Seems like we have a lot in common bro that is why I wanted to pm you. Do you have another email you use? If I get you correctly, you didn't submit any SOP, no transcripts, no landed documents or marital status and children responsibility shown to induce your return to Nigeria?

This sounds outrightly false. Where is the link to the CIC site you are quoting?

fiendishghoul:



Oh okay, none of the above bro lol
Send ur email address, I'll mail u

bbclue:

YES. .....and you. .....drop your contact. ..bbclue@yahoo.com

jnyuwa02:
So there had been back and forth here with no resolution on whether it's possible to get a student status while visiting Canada without having to return back to Nigeria and apply for a TRV. Yes it's possible.

1. By applying while in Canada to change your status to that of a student if you belong to the listed class of visiting visa and temporary residents as enumerated in this link:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=483&top=15

2. Apply for TRV online while in Canada by sending application to the CIC office in Los Angeles, California.

Amen bro, it shall end in praise for all us

Join me praise God, first time I came here, I was really scared cuz I didn't upload a lot of documents, and it seemed the normal trend was to do so, this just feels like a miracle

jnyuwa02:


This is pretty amazing and nothing short of a miracle. I have no kids or wife too, but have a landed property to enclose belonging to my mother. Including my full funding, I have $25k US dollars in my bank account in the U.S. to support my application. I am just a little scared on the whole inducement thing, but have no trouble with funding issue. I haven't lived in Nigeria for donkey years and already leaving again. I hope I meet the same kind of miracle you met in the matchless name of Jesus. I am close to Abuja too and will be doing processing there. Hoping to get a few contacts of the hospital and biometrics place you went. My email is jnyuwa02@gmail.com.

thesoj:
You are right. It is technically possible.
I however don't believe that it's recommended for Nigerian applicants to do so.

Last year I read three GCMS notes of Nigerian applicants who did this and the consistent observation by the CIC Los Angeles Office was that those applicants lied about their purpose of visit to Canada when they applied for the visiting visa in Nigeria. I'm not saying that it isn't possible to change status from visiting to student -- it is -- but it would be very difficult for a Nigerian applicant (a country whose applicants are known to overstay visas or try to switch visas in order to not go back home) to convince the VO why s/he is not willing to go back home to do so.

I also agree with you that it is possible to switch from visiting to student while in the US. About a decade ago USCIS used to approve many of these applications but now it is extremely difficult to be successful at doing so particularly for applicants from countries known to overstay their visit visa or known to get a visit visa and find ways to convert it (e.g. Nigerians) while in the US.

There are exceptions of course, and no two applicants are the same. Yet I wouldn't recommend for a Nigerian with a visit visa to Canada attempt to do a risky change to student status in Canada. Once denied, the probability of getting the student visa in Nigeria/Ghana diminishes (the Accra/Lagos VO now knows that you are the kind of person that went to Canada on the premise of a visit visa but once in Canada changed your purpose of visit).

Adunni222:

Thank you so much..I applied on July 2nd and no call for biometrics yet. I am aware is still early. However, I see people get their biometrics done as early as a day after submission. Also it says background check not applicable (what does this mean).
