Congrats to everyone that have AIP. As evident in response uploaded here, some Schools have warned candidates to defer until they get their visa or they will not refund if otherwise. This support my previous suggestions based on my knowledge and experience on Nairaland and in Nigeria and Canada.

This is a new game style from IRCC and no one can predict how it will fully end. The only thing we can do is to learn from current candidates experience. While we wait to learn from you, we don’t want you to loose money. Owo oniru and owo oniyo something. Before the story turns to Nkan Mbe ft Ide Esu.

Except you are funded by your proposed school, starting online class without full approval is a financial and emotional risk. Before you do it, ask yourself if you can afford to loose the money. If your mind say no, please don’t start your class without full approval.

It not that we don’t want you to celebrate. We just want you to be wise in your next decision. The court battle is not for the weak or poor. It is best to pause online classes till we understand the new style. Na some people experience we go take learn am, but let it be those that can afford the risk.

IRCC is known for pulling some negative tricks on study permit applicants, particularly those from Nigeria. No one can predict the end until the end. Watch your cards and play it right.

It will end with praises. All the best!

True Talk & Very Factual

In a Scenerio like this,

An Applicant Got this mail from the international dept. Of his school based on the mail he sent to them.

Note : Tuition Paid for Fall 2020 Program, No Online Class (Strictly In-person Class), Gotten AIP, Programs Starts Early September

Hello,

Hope this note finds you well!

If I am understanding your situation correctly –

- You have applied for a prog. which is NOT offered in January 2021 ( next intake available for Fall 2021 only)

- You have applied for the Visa but have not received a decision yet

- The program has lab component so you cannot start from overseas and need to be in Canada to start your program


In this situation there are three things you can do –
-Wait for your visa decision and then see if the Government makes any changes to travel restrictions for those students who receive their visas after March 18

- Based on if and when the Government announces changes, you may then think about applying to another January program

- Request a refund


We would suggest wait for your Visa Decision before making any decision.

Regards

In this situation what would likely be the best option to choose?

Though the Applicant is looking at REQUSTING A REFUND

Hello my people pls save a soul

My parents believes so much in agents that any contrary advise would be shoved off.

Now to the present issue, there is this agent they approached to process Canada study visa for my sis. She truly applied and letter of admission was sent from the Uni. They asked us to pay some amounts and we’ve paid infact so far it’s close to 3m.

Now this agent has directed us to go and get police report and medical fitness certificate at any Federal Hospital. But, I sense something is wrong, the whole process seems to be different from what I’m reading here. House please kindly help out before more harms is done.

My question are?
Is it true that we must get a medical fitness certificate even before applying?

He promised to help us out with statement of account do you think that is not a red flag?

The hospital is asking us to pay 50k for covid19 test amid other tests that I can’t even remember now.

Please I need your advise.

Minah2020:


Hello, please when did you apply?

Frankrobbn1:



I think you're misinterpreting the whole story. No one is stopping anyone from celebrating the receipt of an AIP letter. I'm practically telling you what will likely be expected from IRCC and the uncertainty involved in payment of tuition fees and starting program from home country when you've not been finally approved. Let's not sugarcoat things for people that they end up not seeing the truthfulness of the situation.

I end my comment on this matter. I wish everyone success!



It will end in praise.

rebeccausoro:


I didn't see your PM

Has your medicals been uploaded?

Sanovsky007:
July 6th

Minah2020:


Oh actually I applied for July 31st. Since then it's always show "your action is required" and untill last night my current status changed to "application/profile updated".
But then you said yours was submitted, I just wonder what the difference is tho... Let's see how it goes Sha

Sanctification1:
Hello guys, I've a friend currently in a situation i don't really understand anymore, and it's concerning Canada student visa processing time which is now becoming so annoying and frustrating for him to bear .....He got admission into Confederation College, Thunder Bay, Ottario for a two years Undergraduate program....He had this agent that assisted him with application and getting of neccassary documents...he should have submitted his application since September last year buh due to uncompleted documents and financial support there was a little delay....As God says, he applied for biometric last year November 3 and got a response to give bio November 7 and he got it done.

Finally, he got the application submitted exactly November 9......It's exactly 9months plus and he is yet to receive any response...

Pls, have anyone experience this before or what do you guys think is going on?

Urrch:


Have you done biometric before?

As you can see, you are advised not to register without physically present in Canada. Wait to see if you can get your visa before one or two weeks to the deadline. If you are able to, get a letter from your program that you need to be physically present in Canada for your program. The final entry decision is made at the border, and evidence have shown that they are allowing students with good reasons in. Let this be a sign to anyone that think everyone just follow government directives like Zombies. The power and discretion to allow you enter lies on your border officer and not the fact that you have a visa. Same way the power and discretion to visa lies on your visa officer not that you fulfill visa requirements. Na make you meet people that believe in you and your evidence from application to entry.

If you don’t get your visa one or two weeks to registration deadline, Ask to defer your admission to Fall 2021. They way you request this matters. You have to be polite and friendly about it because they may not be doing this but can consider you for COVID reasons. When you are ready to defer, I.e. close to deadline, send a polite and friendly email citing the uncertainty and .... around COVID. You can copy the graduate program director and your supervisor if necessary. No body expected or prepare for what COVID has done to us and our plan. So, many are open to suggestions on how to help. However, most Canadians like polite and friendly manner to things. Not completely “it is my right” approach.

Seek relevant College post graduate diploma or cert January admission as a back up now. You don’t want to loose your admission and not have a back up plan if you are able to do biometrics finally. Make sure the college accept little or no acceptance fee. A lot of colleges will not return your acceptance fee if you can’t provide evidence of visa refusal. So you want to make sure your back is not an expensive one because you may likely loose your acceptance fee if your university plans work out.

My answer is based on my knowledge and experience. It may not reflect your reality. All the best.

My medical has not been updated since Tuesday. I did it at IOM. Others have said theirs have been updated.

Let us skip the plenty grammar.

If you passed the first stage approval, you will have to be an international criminal to not get the approval.

Hello,
I applied for Study permit on the 29th of July, last night I received a mail from cic (Picture of document below). I check my status saying, we are reviewing the result from your medical exam. Mind you haven't done medical's.

dicedapples:
Hi guys, please does anyone know what this means, my application status has been on awaiting your action for the past month, but this morning my status changed to submitted , although eligibility and background is still under review and I haven’t gotten any message or mail.

Sanovsky007:
have you been granted AIP

Sanovsky007:
i think profile updated means you have a new message, once you click the message it will return to action reqiured because of pending biometrics
