That’s not true . Nothing of such is on Cic website , on their site dey wrote atleast 6months validity and they won’t give visa more dan d validity date on a port . Let’s say for instance ur 8mnths validity pp gets stamped d validity date on d visa wudnt be more dan d 8mnths . 3mnths to d expiry date of d pp , it’s advisable u present a new pp where new visa for d duration of ur stay wud be stamped ….
To avoid all these stress , if u can renew ur pp now den go ahead and do it , so that u can use it for ur visa processing instead .

Okay thank you..i Ve started visa processing already..I will just have to apply for the new port so I can submit the new one when they request for it... I guess that's okay right?

GodswillBeDone:


I'm interested in this. I have sent you an email. Thanks.

Thanks, that's assuring, cause I was worried about the black market rate issue.

I haven't really seen anyone on this group mention NSE as the means they got their visa, is this route still valid?.

What if they have already requested for your port? Can you still renew and travel with it?

Cheebu:


It may be hard to find universities to do your MSc. Why not go for colleges instead? Just go for a PGD program. There are lots of schools (colleges) you can apply to.

pls can you help me with some list of good collages that I can apply..

Pls my nl family
I need your help on this issue
My friend got ppr last week
An his school is Uni of Manitoba he has 3 starting date which he was not able to meet up an they don’t defer an his course is 4yrs own
My ?is now how will he do it without any new ission letter for now ? Both their January an may intake is filled up
What ca he do
Secondly his Pasport is expiring by august next year again an he has four year course to do
Pls help us out
@ I need your help all pls
Will he be allow to enter Canada

If he has missed all his start dates and now has visa, he should just reapply, he would be given the next start date of Jan and May. (How did he know Jan & May intakes are full?, unless its not University 1 Program of UofManitoba).
I have someone who missed last intake of this September, got his visa later in September, reapplied and got a new ission for Jan 2023. He is in Canada now.

As per the port validty, he supposed to have renewed his port, but if he has not, he would only get an 8 months visa. When he gets into Canada, he should go and renew his port immediately.
Even though he is supposed to get a 4yr visa, he would get only 8months now.

Please who is currently schooling in British Columbia here, I have some inquiries to make

Just got ission to Conestoga college for may 2023.
Please is there a WhatsApp link.?

oyedamilola:
Guys please explain what this means

Your application decision is loading.
May we celebrate with you soon.

SoftdudeKay:


Please, does this mean the VOs have access to the current available balance in one’s to make their decision? How about if one has a very good statement and records including tuition fee been paid (and good explanation in the SOP), and then removed the funds before the final decision? What could happen in this case? Could the application still be rejected due to funds not readily available? Do they have access to the current balance as at when making decisions?

No, VOs only have access to what (the period) you submitted in MBS. They work mostly based on the statement you submitted.
They can not even request the bank to tell them your current bank balance. If they want updated info on your statement for any reason, they would request from the applicant (happens very rarely).

The CBN rate at that particular time will determine the rate the bank will use.

It means u must hav a valid pp thru out ur expected time in Canada, and this can be one pp all thru or combination of old and reissued pp… for instance u have 2yrs validity on ur pp and u are goin for 4yrs course so u would approach NIS to reissue 5yrs pp for u ? U dey jonz …lol …dey won’t even attend to u until u have 6months left as expiration date on ur pp and 1yr for naija in diaspora

Cheebu:


It's on the port request letter.

"Your port must be valid for the duration of your expected length of stay in Canada."

"Please note that we cannot issue a visa beyond the expiry date on the port."

Each port comes with its num, but then d expired port num would also be written on d bio data page of d new port reissued …
They can only request for port of an approved application, definitely it’s d prt that has d port number included on d application u will submit for stamping . The validity of the visa cannot be more than d validity of the port tho
When u get to Canada u can always apply for port renewal and submit it to d rightful authority for new visa stamping .
If you renew it now while u r here and while d visa is on it , d renewal will automatically renders d port void and d new one becomes d valid port .You will need another visa to be stamped on the new port by so doing.

Does anyone have an idea of the current cbn rate naira to usd

According to NIS they won’t attend to renewal only if it’s 6months to expiration , I don’t know if the policy has changed now . I doubt if they would renew ur 8months to expiration pp, but if they do, u have to let ircc knw bout ur updated pp via webform so by the time ur application gets approved you can able to submit the new port for stamping instead of d old one

Google or check the cbn website bro .. it should be around 320-330

Correction: if you have a valid visa on an old port, that visa will still be valid even though you have a new port, that's why the immigration will stamp "without prejudice" on the old port. You can still use the visa, just take both ports along for your trip.

Secondly, if you renew your port, send the new biodata page through webform and to Nairobi email and when you receive PPR, you can send the new port, it will be stamped, regardless that you used an old port for the initial application. Just like you said, the old port number is indicated on the new one and there should be no issues.

Hope this helps.

Hi again,

Typically, port renewal is done six months to expiration of your port. However, they have what is called "migration" or something like that, you can renew your port if you have more than six months to the expiration, especially for reasons like getting study visas. Yes, you pay more but it's achievable.

Your port will be stamped up to the date of its expiration. Please note that the visa on your port is for entry/exit into Canada. At the port of entry, you will be issued your study permit which will also be to the point of validity expiration of your port. After entering Canada and when you have a new port, you will apply for study permit extension and a new study permit will be issued to cover for your program duration. If you need to travel, you will also need to apply for TRV so that your new port will also be stamped.

Hope this helps.

kvngosas:
Hi my case is similar, I’m going for a 2 years course in Durham college in May but my pp expires 2024 I have approximately 1 year left. Would they stamp my pp for 1 year or reject it? Because if I don’t submit for visa processing now I might not make May 2023

Per your second point, as long as you have the yellow paper you were given when you went to do your biometrics for the first time or a copy of it and you submit to the same place your biometrics was captured, you don't pay transmission fees.

Cheebu:


This info can be misleading. port submission is only free if you're submitting to where you did your biometrics AND if it's your first application since your biometrics.

If your first application was refused & the second one accepted, you must pay the #9410 package transmission fee regardless of where you submit. It doesn't make sense but it is what it is!

Ikay3502:

All the best.

I beg to differ. I only submitted my port last week. I went with the yellow strip and I still paid the money. A lot of folks were complaining. I couldn't explain it myself either.

The attendant categorically said that if my application was approved the first time, I wouldn't have paid the money. What does that even mean? Lol
