PNP

When provinces are inviting people to apply for PNP almost every week.
PNP is slow in most province in Canada @ the moment,infact in some provinces the allocation available has been overwhelmed by candidates in the pool...

In Prince Edward island: PEI slow down it's PNP due to housing shortage in the province..only in demand occupations are now drawn..

Alberta In Alberta some programs in the PNP has been paused due to shortage of allocation, Alberta demanded for extra allocation from the federal government,which was denied

Manitoba skill workers in Manitoba are protesting against the new government for changes that didn't favor the majority including discriminations, longer waiting time for nominations and invitation to apply,at the moment no occupation specific draws, including international students stream!! PNP is messed up in Manitoba at the moment due to funding,incompetence and shortage of staffs!!
And Lack of processing nominations even the new incompetent government returned 2000 allocation / slots to the federal for Saskatchewan to use..


British Columbia There was a protest in British Columbia/Vancouver few weeks back by international students majority in master's programs, some updated guidelines in PNP didn't favor them.

Saskatchewan This province put a hold on its hard to fill pilot program!!

Ontario Ontario PNP allocation has now been increased to 21,500 slots in 2024!! With 235,000 pal allocation from federal government..
All temporary residents including temporary foreign workers and international students for the 21,500 slots..
For the PNP EE permanent resident pathways,temporary residents in Canada exceeds over 2.5 million people by population, while immigration targets 485,000 PR in 2024 for both domestic and international, allocation of110,000 slots for PNP in 2024
Future cap, intake: Federal government of Canada to target temporary residents arrivals by Fall 2024

Good day leaders.
Please I need response.
My tuition fees is about 21000+ CAD. I want to travel with my wife leaving our 3 kids for now.
I have about 17m which is from accumulated savings. I want to add 30m which will be explained, making it 47m.

I intend getting a certificate of investment of about 50m to cover up for second year expenses, my office is also giving me 35% of my salary for the period of 2 years. I earn about 330k.

I have 18 plots of land in 6 different locations and a car. I intend using them as part of my home tie.

Please help check if it will fly.
Thanks

1. Yes, but you need to prove the relationship
2. It's better you have the funds available in your , also provide documents to back up the source of funds
3. Yes, it means you have a partial scholarship of 7k

Congratulations on your PAL approval next step is to apply for study permit
important areas to cover
1. Proof of funds; It's important to demonstrate that you have the financial means to yourself throughout your temporary stay. This includes covering tuition fees, accommodation expenses, living costs, and any other related expenses. Providing evidence of sufficient funds through bank statements, sponsorship letters, scholarship awards, or any other financial documentation is essential. Make sure these documents are up-to-date and accurately reflect your financial situation or that of your sponsor.
2. Home ties; This refers to your connections and commitments to your home country that would compel you to return after completing your studies Canada. The VO want to ensure that you have strong reasons to return to your home country once your study period is over. Evidence of home ties could include family ties, property ownership, employment commitments, or any other significant connections. This demonstrates that you have a genuine intention to return to your home country upon completion of your studies and are not planning to overstay your visa.
I hope these helps!

Good day everyone,

@Zubizareta

I just got an ission to a College/Polytechnic in Canada, and I was asked to pay $1,400 to hold my seat.

Someone asked me to pay the full school fees of one year ($14,500) instead of the $1,400.

Please what do you suggest ?

Also, I would love to know if you offer private services for guidance on student visa processing.

Even with all these, there is still the federal immigration plan which has not changed though they IRCC has been doing targeted draws. The fact of the matter is that all the provinces have been inviting people to apply for PNP, what anyone in Canada needs to do is to research the way the draws have been going and align. that some people will get ITA once they have Canadian education and good test of English scores without needing PNP nomination. With the Caps in place now it means in no distant future IRCC will have to go CEC draws to since the largest supplier of EE applicants is reduced. Check CIC news to see the provinces inviting applicants every other week.

Good morning good people,

I have been offered ission to Simon Fraser for the Masters september intake.

4. When do I need the statement of ? During study permit or Visa application?

I'll be glad if someone can be kind enough to help.

Guys I need your advice. I'm 43 and really want to travel to Canada. So because of limited funds I met an agent today and he told me study route is best for me despite my age. And that he would apply for a loan with mpower and I would reimburse under 15 years. Infact he showed me proof that he has gotten $27k for other clients. That I would switch to masters in business istration. I have bachelor's and one year masters in law and political science. That for housing he will organize it for me in Canada and so on. Please is this possible? Has anyone ed through this?



Please BECAREFUL with agents, and take whatever they tell you with a pinch of salt. Don’t act too desperate cause they’d prey on that. Don’t be so hard on yourself.
Omo, loan to pay in 15years sounds like a long commitment, I’d advise you to go to Atlantic regions. Provinces that the population isn’t so high so you stand a chance for PR. Avoid ONTARIO!!
You already have a masters, do you have a valid reason to want another masters? That’s another money.
Go for a graduate certificate in a STEM field, also learn French, they’d contribute to your score. Cheers
