Hello guys,

Please which visa centre handle application from Nigeria and i also need their email.. PLEASE 🙏

No specific office, it can be assigned to any visa office, though lately many applications from Nigeria have been processed by RROC. Check on IRCC website to confirm which office processes SP applications from Nigeria and send webform to them.

Hi, I have a question, it's about PGWP, with the recent changes, if I am aiming for the 3 years PGWP, will the graduate diploma or certificate program (like 1 year) be sufficient to apply or I need to focus on masters (2 years) program if my aim is the 3 years PGWP?

Either you do an 18months masters or you do 2 different 1 academic year programs. It's called 1+1. But each of the program must ne eligible for pgwp for it to count.

Malosky1:

So it's not a requirement for UK student visa application?

I am not sure. I assumed you are in a Canada thread hence it would be for a Canada study visa. I am not sure if it's required for a UK visa

What about a two year graduate certificate program that is PGWP eligible?

How can one identify the visa office (centre) that is processing his study permit application? I have an application of over 3 weeks in progress which I apply from UK. I would like to know the centre, if possible.

Good afternoon house. I ordered for my GCMS note since March 3rd and after I got the temporary tracking number, I haven't received a reply from them since then. Please is this how it usually is? Cos I don't know if there's a way to follow up.

Hello honorable ,
Please I need your informed and evidence based advice on this as this is our very first time of trying Canada:
So my wife was given ission to study BSC nursing (accelerated) at university of Trent Peterborough, to start this September. Do you think we have enough time to get our visas in time for the resumption date? (Someone told me that decision time now take longer than usual but I don’t know the veracity of this info)
If yes, please where do we start from and how do we proceed, after paying the deposit?
We are in the Uk so I don’t know if it will make any difference.

Also, please if you are presently schooling at this university or an alumnus, I will greatly appreciate any additional info.

Thank you

Send me a DM

i am going to CNA for september intake. any updates?

All Masters programme irrespective of length a year, 16months or 2 years gets 3 years PGWP. That was earlier implemented before all these recent change. It's only College that needs two certificate programs (at least 8 months length each) or a 16month diploma program to qualify for 3 year PGWP.

You can know the office processing your application by check the website to see where applications from your country of residence are processed, however this does not always happen as the application can be routed to any office or call IRCC or see it from your GCMS notes.

Is it possible to request for GCMS notes while an application is in progress?

There is enough time for you to submit your application; check with the new policy if the program covers dependents. Been in the uk doesn't make any difference as long as you meet the requirement; your visas will be approved.

Thanks for the response 🙏🏿.
Yes, the new policy allows dependents for people studying professional courses like nursing.
Can you please advise on the documents we need for the visa application?
I know of Letter of Acceptance, PAL and proof of funds .
I read it somewhere that we need to pay for health insurance but I’m not sure about this.
Also, please how is the proof of funds like? I heard you also need to show ties to your home country.


I know the questions are a lot, I will appreciate any input at all.

Thank you .

I just checked again now and the Final decision section was also updated but doesnt say the application status

Not an expert, but pick the one closest to you.. Make sure you go with 2 photocopies of Ur documents,
Appointment letter 2 colored photocopies
port (data page and first page) 2 colored photocopies..
Biometric instruction letter too
Photocopy was 3k per copy in Lekki, I felt like I was scammed, so do urs before you go.

Hello Everyone,
Please I need counsel. I've gotten ission in conestogota college in to study Nursing Leadership and Healthcare Management coming fall semester this year.
I've been told to pay the school fees deposit.
Please what's is required of me to apply for visa after paying the school fees deposit?
I'm currently in UK, I need an agent to guide me through
I also need with proof of funds for my Nigeria for 4 months.

Kindly assist...

I don't understand what is going on with my application. I have been g into my tracker and all I see are information on submission since 4th March and nothing else. Could it be my application is not yet attended to? I am anxious because UK processing time has been updated to 4 weeks and my application will be 4 weeks by next week. What do you think is the issue?

Bobomaigida:

GCMS notes is requested. Thank you for the information, I didn't know that Gcms notes can be requested on a pending application.

Bobomaigida:
