NwanyiOkpa: VFS Nigeria is closed for canadian biometrics enrollment, so you can’t do your biometrics at the moment.Hopefully,they open soon.But the new 2 stage visa application process means that your background and eligibility check will be done at stage one without you doing your biometrics,then in the second stage your biometrics and medical report are required before you’ll be given full approval. 4 Likes |

Pls I need urgent advice I intend applying for PGC in health analytics Cambrian college..however the program overview says the degree can be done either on campus or online depending on the student. Pls wont the possibility of the online access affect my chances of securing a student visa. Thanks |

Does a 3 semester PGD for fall, winter and spring sessions translates to a year of study or 2 years of study. Thanks |

Pee2Jay9: That link is an old post from 2017. The CIC website states that it currently accepts upfront medical. See link below posted March 2020 https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/medical-exams/requirements-temporary-residents.html |

sewenswepzy: Most schools keep the classroom option for international students to qualify for student visa. Ask the program Coordinator or admission advisor if international students are eligible to apply for the program and student visa. All the best. |

Osemigho:What if in a scenerio like this, a Fall 2020 program is strictly In-person (no virtual mode) & a student gets his/her study permit and travel restrictions is still not lifted, and the Program Coordinator says this (after mailing him): You will be required to be on campus to complete the requirements for the program this fall and if you do not already have a VISA then you will not be permitted to partake in the program in September 2020. Unfortunately, the next available intake will be September 2021 Any headway on this or can an approved study permit meant for the Fall 2020 program be used to switch for a Winter 2021 program (hopefully the travel restrictions would have bin lifted by then) NB: Fall 2021 is a NO NO Thanks |

Hello, I advise you reach out to the hospital to ensure they updated your medical result on the IRCC interface. Upon confirmation, raise a webform attaching the document you received from the diagnostic center (Qlife or IOM), then write a note explaining the fact that you opted for an upfront medical. I actually submitted an upfront medical which they recently updated. When I was completing the online form I did not select that I had done medical within the last 6 month. I was advised to raise a webform submitting the medical form obtained from the hospital so they won’t send me a medical request since I didn’t select that I had done an upfront medical. I am certain you will get a positive feedback from them shortly All the best to all applicants Eilenora: 2 Likes |

NwanyiOkpa:Hello, I suggest you check the status panel with icons to see if background check has started. From what I have gathered from all the postings so far, they usually start with background check then proceed to medical request/update. For the background check, they usually don’t send a notification, so it won’t be part of the messages in your IRCC inbox. Continue to be positive....all things shall work together for your good. Wish all applicants good success 3 Likes |

Lekiboboe: If I were in your shoes, my unordered options that may not apply to you will be; 1. Stick to the plan and see if I can use the school email or an official letter to get a travel exemption after visa. You will need a solid quarantine plan to enter finally. 2. Get Visa and defer to 2021 if I can guarantee a travel exemption. I Won’t say September 2021 is a no no. I will ask myself how I can secure it. 3. Get visa, defer program, change program to another winter program. Your work is to figure out your options and continue to strike out the outdated ones as time and situation changes. However, never say never because waiting till next year might work in your favor. If I had gotten admission and come to Canada in 2016, I wont have become PR in 2017 and probably won’t be by now. I was deeply saddened that I couldn’t get a masters admission with all my efforts and fall 2016 application to about 4 schools. A fellow nairalander stylishly mocked me for it. In fact, I quit all together until my undergraduate supervisor in Nigeria encouraged me to try again. I returned with another name and refired. Emailed about sixty supervisors and had about 8 yes in about 5 schools. I applied to 4 schools and got full scholarship in one. I stumbled upon express entry thread around January 2017 and started reading it. The most fruitful part of my journey here was after that my denial in 2016 because I also used that one year to gather experience and knowledge to apply for PR. Those who mock me then actually came back to ask how I got my PR. Hahaha. Today, I am thinking of when to apply for citizenship not PR. Never say never. Always think of how you can I do it better. All the best. 8 Likes |

Osemigho: Thanks for your spot-on response But am reasoning with ur No. 1 & 3 option - Actually I have thought about that no. 1 option ,but there is no international flight going in and out of Nigeria, u can't even book for international flights or are there Airlines that are on essential traveling to Canada from Nigeria? - ur No.3 option is what I chose as an alternative , "Get Visa and change program to another Winter Program" If I get u correctly for example Get Visa , switch from a Fall 2020 Program at Seneca College TO a Winter 2021 program at Conestoga College I guess this is what u mean & if YES , how can this be done? Based on your story in the last 2 paragraph, You are really a Product of Grace, God had everything mapped out for u. Kudos to your resilience |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Pee2Jay9: 1:13pm On Jul 25, 2020 |
Hello Leki, I've seen this your question like 5x, sorry that nobody had responded. I'll advice you just use this college to get study permit.. Apply for another program that is still open for Winter. I know you've paid fees, so that could be hard but just stay positive sha.. All will be well Lekiboboe: |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Pee2Jay9: 1:22pm On Jul 25, 2020 |
Lekiboboe: There are scheduled flights still going to Canada. Follow the Living in Canada thread. For the bolded, I've asked that question before & u even sent a YouTube video that addressed it.. U'll have to apply to Conestoga college still open for Winter. Use ur Seneca study permit and enter Canada, change the school on ur portal after u arrive. This is what i understood from even answers most Gurus gave to my query then 3 Likes |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Osemigho: 1:28pm On Jul 25, 2020 |
Lekiboboe: Some new PR leave from Benin republic or Togo. I am not sure. So, do not base your decision on this. About your comment on my last two paragraph, was it entirely grace? Was grace reading for me and submitting my application? I asked, pray, and worked for it. I choose to abandon US and focus on Canada after reading. You can say God inspired me to read more and set some of it before me, but do not ignore my conscious efforts under the shadow of grace. I could have just ignore or make excuses when my supervisor advise me to try again. I believe Favor is readiness meet opportunity. Your body, soul, and mind must be ready when the opportunity comes. There are many others who I have encouraged to try but refuse to. They have the opportunity, but letting it pass by. I hope they don’t later blame God for not “mapping it out” for them. I see you appreciated my resiliency. Thanks. All the best my fellow nairalander. 4 Likes |

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Iffylove: 1:54pm On Jul 25, 2020 |
Greetings to all everyone in this group. Please I need clarifications concerning my SOP, Am almost at the completion stage, I plan going first for my doctoral study and my spouse and child to later join me. So my questions are: * Should I state this in my SOP that my family will be joining me or I should not mention anything about them joining me? * Also, should they apply for theirs immediately I receive my visa (by God's grace) or after 3 months when I get to Canada? Thank you. |

NwanyiOkpa: Your timeline shows they are making great progress on your application as both background and eligibility check are going on concurrently. Based on the two stage approach you don’t need medical & biometrics to receive the 1st approval. Wish you good success 2 Likes

Iffylove: 1. Please, do not mention anything about your family joining you in your SOP, instead state categorically that they will be in Nigeria, they're the best hometie you have right now. 2. I don't know much about this question, my guess is when you arrive Canada you can apply for your family to join you. Just my opinion. Goodluck! |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Manifoldlove: 3:40pm On Jul 25, 2020 |
As this stage, it is not needful stating that your family will be joining you, instead, gather every momentum that will point to the possibility of you returning to your family after studies. * Yes, get your study permit first and then, put in for theirs. Iffylove: 1 Like |
