Anybody resuming Fanshawe College in September and would like to connect to travel together and get accommodation together. Message me let's connect.

Iampearlz:

Wow!
Congratulations!
I also got itted to study interactive media design and I have a B.A in Performing arts, can you kindly share your SOP so I can use it as a guideline for mine? I’m clueless on how to link both courses together and explain why I’m going for a Post graduate diploma.

Hi there. Sorry for the late reply, if you don't mind you could send me a mail. I would be happy to be of assistance.

Tgbengus151:
Yes, you would need an agent to apply to Fanshawe college but 250k is outrageous. You can use applyboard.com yourself and they would stand as your agent.

I'm currently in Fanshawe college and we have a group already. You can send me a mail with your number so I can add you up.

Hi, I just sent you an email. I would really love to be added to the group, I'm also a student there resuming in September.

It's a wire transfer you can initiate to your abroad via form A at bank rate just like payment of school fees and PTA.
Banks now process the payment once a yr due to FX issues while school fees can be processed per semester.
The process now takes about 60 days just like school fees payment.

I hope this clarifies it.

Yes it clarifies everything, thank you.

johnstan:


I changed part to usd and funded my dom so i could use my usd card. I did not want to carry cash and be worried about change. I plan on apply for Form A - upkeep maintenance so i can use bank rate for the rest (upkeep maintenance is now once a year).

At POE i was asked for only my letter of introduction and visa.

Nah, i dont know any one schooling at centennial. I booked an airbnb online before my departure. (book early so you can get it cheap).

Hi, please I'm just hearing about this "upkeep maintenance". Could you please tell me about it, I'm also looking for ways to change my Naira. Thank you.

Ojb555666:

Which bank please?

FCMB

RelaxingEnd:


I've booked ticket, but to London, Ontario. Not Regina.

Hello, please what airline are you using and how did you go about the booking?

robertito7:

Bro please after your form A was approved, how much longer before they disbursed the funds

it took another two months for them to debit me and disburse the funds.

Nko1:


Good to see we aren’t the only one who didn’t get ppr after bvl mine is 7days since bvl dropped now maybe I will send webform again coz I stopped sending it

Keep sending mails and webforms as much as possible till they answer you. The day I got PPR, I sent at least 10 mails and 10 webforms that morning.

Geerlings:
I didn't include my own statement of at all

PPR Alert and Timeline!!

I got my PPR on the 28th of November and promised to drop my timeline later, here it goes.
Profile;
Age - 21 years old
Highest level of Study - Media Communication Bsc.
Course of Study applied - Post Secondary Diploma in Interactive Media Design (2 years)
DLI - Fanshawe College, London Ontario.

My Timeline;
Sep 16th - Application submitted with Upfront Medicals
Sep 16th - Request for Biometrics
Sep 19th - Biometrics done
Oct 13th - Biometrics Updated
Nov 4th - Medicals Updated after sending countless emails and webforms to Nairobi only.
Nov 16th - I randomly checked after sending my daily dose of Webforms and Emails to Nairobi and saw Eligibility review has started.
Nov 23rd - BVL Dropped after sending mails to all the emails I could find on Nairaland and webforms to Nairobi.
Nov 28th - PPR Dropped again after sending countless mails to all the Emails I previously sent to and also webforms.
Dec 1st - Submitted my port at VFS Abuja (I just walked in with my port and the Photocopy of my port data page that they stuck a white paper on after my Biometrics and told me to expect a text when the port is ready for pickup)
Dec 6th - Got a mail and a text that my port had been stamped and was ready for pickup.
Dec 7th - Picked up the port from VFS ( I can't even explain how beautiful it looks).

All Documents Submitted;
1) Application of study permit made outside Canada (imm1294e)
2) Letter of Acceptance
3) Scanned Copy of port Info Page
4) Proof of Funds (which includes Letter of Explanation of Funding , Letter of Financial and Affidavit from Sponsor, Scanned Copy of Sponsors ID, Sponsors 6-Months Bank Statement and Reference Letter from Bank, Sponsors insurance Certificates, Sponsors CAC certificate, Sponsors Contract Memos for her company, Sponsors property Documents (3 properties), Sponsors 6 months Payslips, Sponsors Appointment and Promotion Letters, Sponsors personal cars documents, My First Semester tuition payment Receipt)
5) My Digital Photo
6) Upfront E-Medical Information Sheet
7) Family Information (imm5645e)
Family Birth Certificate (4 siblings, 2 parents)
9) Parents Marriage Certificate
9) Application for a TRV made outside Canada (imm5257b)
10) Client Information (which includes SOP, Acceptance Letter from my PPA during NYSC year which ended in March, University Certificate, Transcript, WAEC Result, NYSC Certificate, Online Certificates related to my preferred course of study)
12) Different Pictures of myself and all my family at my sister's wedding, my matriculation, my mother's convocation (Most of the pictures were of myself and my mom who is my sole sponsor).

I applied by myself with all the information I got from Nairaland and YouTube. All the sponsorship letters I wrote by myself, and just gave my mom to sign and scanned. I also paid my tuition with Form A even though it was a hassle, I disturbed FCMB with emails and calls for three months before it was finally disbursed. I lost my Dad a week before I applied, but I thought against including his death certificate so it doesn't affect the application. I don't know, but I feel the application was approved because it was backed with a lot of ing documents to prove my sponsor is really established in Nigeria and can afford to fund my stay and schooling in Canada. I also wrote a very detailed SOP about why I was going to study for a post secondary diploma even though I had a Bsc which is higher and also in a totally different field, I explained the importance to my career growth and I also emphasized that after my studies I was going to come back to Naij and pursue a career and take care of my mom most importantly.

All these couldn't have been possible without God's intervention though, so I just suggest that we all involve God in all the processes as much as we can. This journey has really thought me to never underestimate the power of prayers.
I hope this helps somebody and I wish speedy approvals to everyone hopeful for a decision.

See y'all in Canada soon!!!!

Leadforteservic:
Wow! Congrats to you.

I also bombarded them with webforms from Thursday up until this morning, I kept sending as much as possible. I'm very certain the disturbance triggered something.

I can't even believe it yet guys!!??
I just got PPR after sending over 50 mails today!!!!
My timeline would come in good time please.

Anifowoshehabee:
Please who can help in ordering gcms notes cause it has bin declining my card

I can help with that. Send me a mail.

Nadingo:
Do you know the current exchange rate for Chipper?

I don't know, the exact figure.

Hey guys,
I just want to let everyone know that you can use the Chipper Cash virtual USD card to pay for your application fees and other online dollar payments. It works very fine and is also seamless to use. The exchange rate isn't so steep too.

Obibaby:
Please regarding Form A, does CBN or the processing bank deduct service charges or whatever from the applicant's before deducting the main school fees amount? Because my mum got some small small debit alerts this evening and it was written "CBN" along side my Form A number.

My Form A was approved by my processing bank 2 days ago and today we started seeing the deductions. Please has anybody experienced this with Form A?

Anon123:


There is no fastest way...It all depends on availability of forex..

I just reached out to you through a mail, I'd really appreciate your response.

Beautifulchy:

I have gone through the Applyboard site but I am seeing a different tuition fee from what is on Fanshawe college.
Fanshawe college is around $7k per semester while Applyboard is around $21k per year,

How many semesters are in a year, that's what you'll use to calculate the tuition fee. Either ways, the original amount would be shown on your offer letter if given one.

Anon123:


how much are you paying ?

I'm supposed to pay $9,045.21CAD.

Hello Everyone, I'm in need to assistance for payment of tuition Deposit to Fanshawe College. Their method of payment is through flywire, and the rate shown on flywire is really on the high side, whereas CBN rate would be more affordable for me. I've seen comments about form A, I would like to know if there is a way I can use form A to send this money or any other more affordable means I can make the Tuition deposit.
Thank you.

No problem. Whats ur email address?

[email protected]
I'll be waiting, thank you.

elizyous:

MACT - Master of Arts in Communications and Technology

Same here!!!!
But I'm waiting to apply for the may intake next year. I'm currently a corper. I'll really like to connect with you so as to be able to learn from your own experiences.

elizyous:

MACT - Master of Arts in Communications and Technology

Nice... Same course I'm planning to apply for next application period.

Jon3nity:

Are you an UniAlberta aspirant like me too.. Mine's Msc Internetworking

Yes, mine's Msc Communication and Technology. The application is going to be open from June.

elizyous:
I got my ission into University of Alberta and have applied for visa. I am hopeful. Pls ask your question here, I dont know how that Sending email thingy via NL works

What course please??

2roodi:


To be honest, it doesn’t really matter as long as you have a valid reason.
I graduated with a 2:1 as well, but opted for a PGC in a totally unrelated field and I was granted ission and also visa approval.
I also didn’t submit an SOP (it wasn’t intentional though) yet my visa was approved, even though I was venturing into a new field of study.
*just thought to put this out there*
As long as you have a valid reason/ing documents, you should be alright.
All the best!!

Bro thanks for putting this out here, I've been really confused as to whether to opt for a PGD as it's what I need but scared for denial. Thanks

gitgreen:


What do you really want? Switch to Web development or try to infuse Mass Communication into Web Development? Web Development is a huge career path on its own. And evidently, you don't need a degree for that let alone a second degree.

Please focus on building your dev skills and build a career there. By the way what is your skillset in web development?

I want to be able to start a career in Canada as a web developer, but apparently I can't do that as I would need a reason to go. My main problem right now is purpose, should I take up the Interactive Web design course in Georgian College which would really help in setting me up in the Canadian IT sector and help increase my web dev skills as it's a really hands on course or take up the Masters in Communication Technology just to be able to go over (less immigration trouble) and maybe later try to get into the Web dev community after my studies while still increasing my web dev skills during the Masters programme on my own. Which would be a better route.
My skillset right now include HTML/CSS, JavaScript, React. I know I still have a long way but I've been able to come this far. I plan on taking more coursera courses and having side projects to be able to add to my portfolio.
