olasubomy: Good morning All, please which is better for an MBA - University Canada West and Vancouver Island University. I got admit for both. Also, i plan to stay back after my studies and possibly settle in there. I currently have admission with VIU for GCIB just awaiting AIP. I think VIU is better, my only problem with VIU is that tuition fee can be quite expensive. But finally decision is up to you. |

Tonyodg: Morning boss please I need your take on this This one almost everyone is getting aip,does it mean that the stage 1 will be passed as long as you have the necessary funds and admission? or does it mean that the stage 2 is where they’ll check home ties, sop and all that stuff? Wow! Just yesterday and today, this thread is already on page 209, so fast ![shocked](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/shocked.gif) , what info have I missed?. I can relate how everyone is showing great happiness about the new update and the massive AIP letters going about on this platform. In all honesty, I celebrate with you guys and hope it ends favourably for you all in the later stage. With regards to your question @Tonyodg, majority of first time applicants will definitely receive a notification from IRCC declaring that they have passed the first stage approval in principle. This is because the requirement for the first stage is basically about the applicant's proof of funds and confirmation of genuineness of acceptance letter from the DLI in Canada. The other IRCC standard visa processing assessments which includes Criminality, Overall Eligibility, Security and Information Sharing with other countries are yet to be initiated by the senior immigration officer on the applicant's application. I will probably say that its just the R10 check that has been done so far by the immigration case analyst at the High Commission of Canada, which is primarily to ensure that applicant submitted the right documents for the program (study permit) they have applied for. Applicants should be more concerned about the second stage as there are higher chances that the visa officer at the High Commission of Canada may likely reject the application if the applicant hasn't demonstrated that they are a bonafide student to undertake the proposed program in Canada. Be properly enlightened that it is at the second stage, the Visa officer will assess the overall credibility and reasonableness of the applicant's intended program in Canada, whether or not is in tandem with their previous studies, current employment or career path/future goals. More importantly, however, the biometrics enrollment details will be used to run a background check on the applicant by the CBSA in an effort to ascertain the applicant's criminality and security status. Kindly note that it is at this second stage the Visa officer will review the entirety of the application and make a final decision. Please be advised that commencement of online classes doesn't influence the discretion of the visa officer or guarantee an applicant's application success. A visa officer can still refuse the application if the applicant doesn't meet the IRCC Act requirements for study permit issuance. My introspective thought tells me that IRCC is using this new update (AIP letters) to lure applicants into starting their programs from their home country as they can't afford to lose international students for the fall 2020 semester. In a nutshell, let's be optimistic that everything ends well. I hope this information is helpful to everyone. As always, it will end in praise. 13 Likes 1 Share |

As always, it will end in praise. I don't totally agree with you on this. There are legal implications for "luring" students to register and pay fees if you cannot guarantee their study permits. IRCC won't be able to take the legal backlash that will come from students across the world. Yes, getting a visa is a privilege but making students pay fees without any intention of ultimately giving them their visas will not float. The matter appears simple to me; the first stage approval is the most important part of the visa approval process. We are only seeing the high numbers now because we are yet to see the first stage rejections. Our analysis will not be complete until we balance both. Don't forget that Nairaland users represent less than 1% of Nigerian study permit applicants. If you have passed the eligibility stage, the factors that will stop you from getting the final permit are clearly stated by the IRCC and they include: criminal history, medical issues, and fraudulent documents. The last item is very significant because complete applications will be vetted, like you rightly said, before final decisions will be made but negative final decisions will be contingent on misrepresentation by the applicant. As long as every other thing goes well, applicants should expect their study permits based on this pre-approval. 11 Likes 1 Share |

I congratulate everyone who have gotten their AIP, liaise with your college or Uni…if you start online classes what are the terms and conditions of your tuition if your study permit get rejected. I also got my AIP for September intake. From my understanding almost all students applying for the September intake are getting approved for the first approval. I applied to Fanshawe college, when i asked Fanshawe International representative here in Singapore about further information about the new policy, they told me the 2nd approval is at the discretions of the immigration officer, and if i start online classes and my visa is rejected my fees WILL NOT be refunded and starting online classes doesn't guarantee the approval of my study permit. For me who have paid full tuition fee i was advised to defer to January. I believe this policy is to benefit the Canadian govt and not student. Approvals don’t come this easy, i know some Asians who got AIP in a matter of days. 3 Likes |

I don't enjoy being controversial, but MUN comes to the lips of people when they talk about cheap programs. And it rightfully should.
It's just funny because 80% of Nigerian students in graduate Engineering programs are paying $29,800 in Tuition. Reason is simple, it is easier to gain admission into these really expensive Programs. Yes, I said it....8 out of every 10 graduate engineering student that is Nigerian and schooling at MUN pays good dollars; and most of us applied because we thought it was cheap.
I am a graduate engineerings student at MUN.
Please can you help me break it down, is this for bachelor or Masters program, because the website says 11k/yearly. Please explain ![cry](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cry.gif) |

I believe this policy is to benefit the Canadian govt and not student. Approvals don’t come this easy, i know some Asians who got AIP in a matter of days. You are talking about what is normal. Look around you bro, is anything normal in the world today? The point must be made and IRCC should be quoted here: Once services begin to resume, applicants who are able to submit missing information or documents previously requested of them will begin to do so, at which time the application will move into the second stage of processing and officers will process the application to finalization.
Eligibility for 2-stage assessment process To be eligible for this 2-stage assessment process, applicants must have submitted a new study permit application electronically on or before September 15, 2020, and their program of study must begin in the fall 2020 (or earlier). The applicant must also submit all the documents needed in order for an officer to make a preliminary eligibility assessment. If the client is unable to provide any of the required documents, they will not be eligible to receive a preliminary eligibility assessment until they submit the information or documents requested of them (with the exception of biometrics, medical examinations and police certificates).
Applicants who receive a positive preliminary eligibility assessment will receive a letter in their MyAccount. This is a gamble but it is a gamble with high payout. There is no way all Fall applicants will get an AIP. If you already have yours, good for you. If not, continue to hope and pray. This arrangement favours both the students and the Canadian economy and due to the disruption of immigration and travel, students will makeup the target for this year. 4 Likes |

Exactly what I was told by my school(Royal roads University) my fees wont be refunded if i start online and get rejected.(My tuition has being paid in full) I was also adviced to defer my admission just to be on the safe side which I think is the best decision at this point. Besides IRCC has clearly stated that the first stage approval does not guarantee a second stage study approval. I rejoice with everyone who has gotten an AIP and hopefully, study permits will be issued to all! aldeon:
