Just to add my 2cents to the debate... I got admitted to a number of institutions starting in fall 2020 and also attended online webinars organized by them. They all advised not to commence online studies without at least an approval of the study permit application. Also, I think Canada operates a quota system for visa approval and the denial rate for Nigeria has been increasing over the years due to negative perception. https://studentimmigration.ca/canada-rejects-most-african-students/ https://studentimmigration.ca/who-gets-a-study-permit-for-canada/ 5 Likes |

oma22: True. That is a very valid print. That would be like carrying out any online degree. Being able to get a visa/study permit should be a key determinant. 4 Likes |

Patty03: Please note: if you start online studies without a study permit, the time spent doing those classes will not count towards your PGWP. Thus if for instance your program is only 1 year and you do one semester Sept tonDec online in Nigeria without your student visa, you will not be entitled to a PGWP because the program is no longer up to 1 year. |

What if its a 3yrs advanced diploma, first year is online, then 2 other years will be on campus. Or what if its a 2yrs PGC/PGD and you do the first year online and the second year on campus. Will it still be a problem? I am just asking sha. What do I know? oma22: |

I think Jessica made a good point and like she said, everybody mustn't accept her advice but she infact was right that studying online proves that the applicant is genuine. We are mostly not genuine students because we just want to study and immigrate thereafter and that's why we're concerned with PGWP, etc. So only genuine students whose aim is to get Canadian knowledge should use her advice PS - when people give suggestions or advices, let's not attack them or their points. Just take it or leave it. I'm sure she stands to gain nothing by writing that so let's not make people feel like there's no need 'wasting' their time here, especially people that have gone ahead.. It takes a good heart to look back and give when you may not benefit anything as it were #myOpinion 10 Likes |

jessicajessa: You have raised valid points and I always like people who bring different perspectives to issues. It is not a bad idea. My only fear for students who decide to take the bold step of doing the online course, is that, they will have to pay fees. In most schools, you have a time frame to withdraw to get a fee refund. If If a student's study permit gets refused (this is a possibility) even after paying fees, the student might not be able to ask for refund anymore because at the time of refusal, the time frame to withdraw from course might have passed. Now, because time frame to get fee refund has passed, he/she will be forced to continue online. Now, lets assume the student gets the study permit on second attempt, but by this time, more than 50% of his/her studies had been spent outside Canada, will that still count towards his PGWP? What even happens if a student pays and he gets refused back to back because you and I know these IRCC guys are so unpredictable? It means a student might end up paying huge amount in naira to get Canadian online studies from Nigeria? The upside like you rightly mentioned, is it shows one is a genuine student and applicants can leverage on this opportunity by paying fees, attending courses online and so forth to prove they are. Also, If an applicant gets refused, It is a good ground for getting an immigration lawyer. I mean, why refuse a student after paying fees, using his own money to pay for wifi and so forth. The truth is, it is a very brave and bold move. This life is for the brave and risk takers innit? My suggestion, If you are an applicant and you are thinking of taking this bold move, please speak to your school's immigration officer before making the move. I am actually surprised they are allowing students take lectures without study permit. Maybe there is something they are not saying. 9 Likes |

They have bin busy advising students on online courses without any assurances of getting a study permit after paying tuition. knowing fully well how Canadian immigration behaves. |

Naijaforeigner:My thoughts too and the issue is that even the fees are not been reduced to accommodate online excesses. It better I get the permit before starting online class. Its just time frame I am scared of. Hopefully the vfs office opens this month, earlier. |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by gbjobs1: 9:30pm On Jun 07, 2020 |
The truth is always bitter. There is no brave and bold move. Take what CIC tells u on their official site to be true and accurate. Canadian universities and immigration are totally different establishments and Canadian immigration rules are no joke. It's illegal to study without a study permit. And even if CIC is officially relaxing that rule, it's not advisable to venture at all. All the best. 3 Likes |

Hello experts, We all know that VFS is still closed and Passport Submission cannot be done even if you get a final decision that your application is approved. In this case can you start studying online when you get a passport request? or you still have to wait still you submit your passport and get your port of entry letter of introduction before you can start your online studies? By IRCC requirements in this Covid period, when can you start studying online. Passport request or port of entry letter of introduction? |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by gbjobs1: 10:02pm On Jun 07, 2020 |
mantleouchtele: Based on the online webinars I attended, it's still not clear how CIC would handle visas and permits due to closed VFS offices and travel restrictions. But one thing CIC assured applicants was extended deadlines. Also, newly admitted students are required to, at the least, upload their "CIC letter of introduction" as part of the enrolment and registration process before studies online. |

Naijaforeigner: Bro ring me, this is too sad to believe. It's a daylight rip off. Remember, if you attend just one class and your name appears in class register, or you do assignment or test, your fee is automatically nonrefundable even if Jupiter will fall. So Why would anyone take the risk? SCHOOL DONT GIVE VISA NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. It's at the discretion of IRCC. The two weeks timeframe of refundable fee doesn't mean you have to attend classes, assignment, test or discussion etc... pls be guided. Act accordingly, don't be too desperate and feel you're playing the smart card. 2 Likes 1 Share |
