Hello people, I'm a silent follower on this thread. I need your advice. I am 34 years old with HND certificate. I got a bible college that is willing to give me admission for a degree program in Mission field. I intend paying the tuition after trv. Please is I'd like to know your opinion/ expert advice. Thanks

Emmm, just before you proceed to pay fees. You may need to really consider this move to give yourself a chance of getting a study permit.

How is mission field significant to your advancement(career or current activity)?

Why will it be better to study it in canada and not nigeria?

What have you been doing prior to this intended degree in mission field?

The answers are actually not for me but your application most likely will be scrutinized from this light. So you have to answer these questions literally and even more in documentation and claims in your application otherwise, you risk your application refused for purpose of visit.

Goodday.
I am new here and intend to travel for my post grad program in Canada.
Do i need to sit for TOEFL, GRE, and the rest...



secondly, Which university can one recommend...been going through the list of universities/colleges in Canada and am quite confused as regards which to apply to.



Thirdly, which is the best city to live/work in or get employment oppotunities. it must necessarily be one of the big cities etc...
Thanks

1. Most schools in Canada don't require TOFEL/GRE
2. Your course of study/CGPA/Finance available are factors to consider.
3. Some provinces/ cities are know for different sectors, Like Alberta is good if u are into the oil sector, but I think you can migrate later if u wish.

Hi Everyone,
So Cic updated me that Medical Exam passed.

So what's the next step.

We are all praying for Approval oh.

Abeg tell me if someone has been denied after medical this 2017.

Tension is officially building up.

dapoddon:
Alright, cool.
Hope your program has a January start date? If it has then you shd probably defer.
In the interim, while you order for your GCMS, pls share your profile and documents submitted so the house can give inputs.

Thanks dapoddon, I've ordered my GCMS notes and they've started working on my file. I just wanna ask, is marriage a good home tie. I mean picture yourself as my V.O and i present my case to u that in married with the obligation to return and resume my marital duties after studies. Does it sound like it can be considered?

Yomalicious:


If the Canadian customs and border protection rule is done at the first point of entry(like it's done in US) you are REQUIRED to pick your bags and do a drop off your selve. No bags would be transfered unless you get to your final destination and request for it (na my profession be this oh)So @austinepee if you are sure, then feel free to go ahead @Canadiannirse. But I remember vividly that my bags were tagged to Edmonton from 9ja but still picked up my bags in Toronto and did a baggage drop off at westjet but would check timatics and get back to u

You have a point @bold. Procedures have been changing over time.
Most recently though, air canada reached alot of agreement especially with the 5 star alliance members regarding international passengers and point of entry ease.

Here is a link from CIC for more details on arriving, clearance and CBSA procedure. https://travel.gc.ca/returning/customs/entering-canada

It seems the guys going for masters and phd are the ones getting trv approval recently....or any PGD/PGC appicant gotten a trv approval recently?

mesh2003:


This will be dicey if you are on a visiting visa. You have to show why you are not able to apply from your own country. A reason might be that you are not going to Nigeria within 3 months but that will raise questions if you are working. My mums visiting visa was approved after she had left Nigeria for London. The VFS office didn't take her passport for stamping without a letter from Accra immigration authorizing them to stamp her passport. I got an authorization from them after sending an email with her UK visa, entry and exit stamps and flight ticket to show that she will be flying to Canada from the UK without visiting Nigeria. So be careful.

I submitted yesterday at Vfs Global, London office and my biometric taken and none of the issues you raised here were highlighted to me. Thank you anyway for your concern. Like I said in my earlier post, I resume in January so this is just a case study for me. If it works fine, if it doesn't, I will submit another application upon my return to my beloved country.

It will interest some persons to know somethings I observed at the office yesterday. 1. A vast majority of the people who submitted their application yesterday were foreign nationals like me and some were on visitor visa(The office isn't large as that in Lagos so you can overhear conversations, also they endeavor to speak audibly and precise as possible so applicants don't have cause for a misrepresentation law suit ). 2. If you are applying for study permit or a visitor visa and you have limited time to resumption or the purpose of your visit, you are advised to attach a cover letter to your application, detailing the reason why your application should be handled with urgency. 3. I was informed that despite the processing time on IRCC site stating two weeks presently for the UK, it could take three days or even four weeks but a maximum of six weeks for those who are applying outside the visa office of their region. The vfs staff issued a disclaimer informing me that, it is only his personal observation from his time on the job that he advised me and not as an agent/staff of vfs.
@jnuyuwa02, take note of number two.

Please i want to know, between u.s and canada, which country has the lower tuition universities.

I heard to get u.s student visa is easier than to get a canada student visa, hw tru is dis?

CanadianNurse:
Finally got my tickets to Winnipeg
Royal Air Maroc

Lagos to Casablanca (royal air Maroc)

Casablanca to Montreal(royal air Maroc)

Montréal to Winnipeg (Air Canada)

Now my question is

Where do I get my study permit?
Do I have to get my luggage at Montreal and check it into air Canada?


AGAIN WHICH IS MY POINT OF ENTRY WHERE I GET MY STUDY PERMIT MONTREAL OR WINNIPEG?

CC:mesh2003 derel Austinpee4 dogice Salford1

I think the POE is the first stop in Canada which in your case is Montreal and that's where you will be issued your permit.

As for your luggages, the gurus in the house have taken care of that question.

Safe trip bro

[quote author=CaptainCanny post=58410284][/quote]

Goodluck

they didnt request for additional docs from me but since yesterday, it showed "additional docs you provided are being reviewed"
Any suggestions as to it?

Osemigho:
CanadianNurse, how far with your passport? Do you have it now?

To the experienced members of this house, how many weeks/days does it take dispatched passport to be ready for collection? Thank you.

A friend's visa was approved and passport request mail was sent on the 20th of June. He submitted on the 22nd of June and paid for the return parcel service. Meeeeehn, that was a big mistake. He waited till 10th and contacted the VFS office. They asked him to send a scanned copy of the payment confirmation slip he was issued at Vfs Abuja. So he did and on July 11th, he received a call from UPS to come and collect his passport.

If he hadn't contacted Vfs, he would've waited forever ooo.

Did you pay for the return parcel service If no, your passport should be in the VFS office now.

yamen21:
they didnt request for additional docs from me but since yesterday, it showed "additional docs you provided are being reviewed"
Any suggestions as to it?

Yamen21 do you mean that since Januray CIC has not replied you or shown you progress till date? or were you delayed? cos honestly am curious how you have been surviving the anxiety ooooooooooooo

Although i find it difficult pronouncing this your moniker, I love reading your posts but you do stress me by having a dictionary beside me. I no know you and @thes*j who i go come give award for who speak/write english for this thread pass?
as I always storm this thread weekly, congrats to @tuzinde and those delayed, it is never the end..

The moniker was chosen to be unpronounceable and as mesmerizing as its content. Thanks for your vote of confidence. Please give the award to @thesoj as I have not attained the rank and file gurus in the house yet. Even the lad @austinpee4 not doing a bad job and deserves an award before me.

Does Background check involves contacting your School (Institution of previous Study). Because some Federal Universities are very Funny and might take forever to reply such emails assuming they do so by sending email.

CaptainCanny:


I submitted yesterday at Vfs Global, London office and my biometric taken and none of the issues you raised here were highlighted to me. Thank you anyway for your concern. Like I said in my earlier post, I resume in January so this is just a case study for me. If it works fine, if it doesn't, I will submit another application upon my return to my beloved country.

It will interest some persons to know somethings I observed at the office yesterday. 1. A vast majority of the people who submitted their application yesterday were foreign nationals like me and some were on visitor visa(The office isn't large as that in Lagos so you can overhear conversations, also they endeavor to speak audibly and precise as possible so applicants don't have cause for a misrepresentation law suit ). 2. If you are applying for study permit or a visitor visa and you have limited time to resumption or the purpose of your visit, you are advised to attach a cover letter to your application, detailing the reason why your application should be handled with urgency. 3. I was informed that despite the processing time on IRCC site stating two weeks presently for the UK, it could take three days or even four weeks but a maximum of six weeks for those who are applying outside the visa office of their region. The vfs staff issued a disclaimer informing me that, it is only his personal observation from his time on the job that he advised me and not as an agent/staff of vfs.
@jnuyuwa02, take note of number two.

Thank you so much for this very vital information. You rock!! Keep us posted as you move along. We are rooting for your aspiration to write on a blank slate. I shall sure be attaching a letter of urgency. Reading from the CIC site yesterday however, even before you indicated to me, they consider urgent to be a matter of sickness or death.

Is your case complicated? What is your case by the way? Why has it taken this long? 6-7 months now?

valenti12:

I don't get, is it the biometrics?

GCMS not biometrics

Does Background check involves contacting your School (Institution of previous Study). Because some Federal Universities are very Funny and might take forever to reply such emails assuming they do so by sending email.

No background check means a check of your criminal history. Nigeria might not have a system of doing that, but they run that through their system, Interpol and FBI and of course immigration check to see where you have been denied visa before and whether you have been removed from another country.

Goodday.
I am new here and intend to travel for my post grad program in Canada.
Do i need to sit for TOEFL, GRE, and the rest...



secondly, Which university can one recommend...been going through the list of universities/colleges in Canada and am quite confused as regards which to apply to.



Thirdly, which is the best city to live/work in or get employment oppotunities. it must necessarily be one of the big cities etc...
Thanks

I would suggest you start your search with the course you would like to study. from there you can find out which schools offer such course or a course related to what you want. from there you can check up the course requirements.
some courses require gre, some others require gmats, english tests re generally not required from english speaking country citizens. however there can be an exception depending on your sch or course.

@vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv i dont know how to read pm on nairaland please. you can just send me a mail on ojimakip@gmail.com. thanks
