have you gotten your TRV?

Not yet, Application still in Progress

hello house another question for you. My sponsor is my husband and am using our company for my start of but we don’t have tax clearance. Can I use the statement of without tax clearance

Naijaforeigner:


Let me add to what qudkom said. Long post alert.

(1) Getting a part time job depends on city and province. If you search on Indeed and physically go and hand in your resume in companies, you will get a job. Please don't be choosy, any job that comes first, do it.

(2) Canada education is not hard (my opinion) but it is super stressful and demanding. Make sure you have the right team. Ensure you move with people who share same goals with you. There will be days you will feel like giving up or no motivation to continue, it is your friends/team that will boost your morale in those low moments. There will be days you will have multiple assignments, reports or quizzes due and you need mental , suggestions and so forth. This is where having the right comes in.

The Chinese girl that had the best result in my program worked 3 days a week and she had 4.1 out of a possible 4.2.
For a whole session , I had at least 98% attendance in all my modules, I worked part time and I had11A's and 1B. Another Nigerian lady in my program, had same result, she worked night shifts and combined it with school. Nigerians are strong and built for anything

(3) Taking care of living expenses with part time work is dependent on if you are working for full 20 hours. Most jobs are structured for 8 hours per shift, so some companies will give you just 2 days in a week because of the 20 hours work restriction students have, while some companies will give you 21/2 days (your exact 20 hours). Some students work 3 days, 22.5 or 24 hours. I do not recommend working above 20 hours though.

If you work for exact 20 hours in London, Ontario and its environs (Sarnia, Windsor), you will get at least 1000CAD monthly. Minimum wage in Ontario is 14 Cad. so lets do the maths;
Accommodation = 450 - 550 Cad
Feeding = about 150 Cad monthly
Data = 50 Cad monthly

Total equals about 750 Cad. You can end up saving at least 200 Cad every month. Even if you do not get the exact 20 hours, 16 hours weekly can take care of feeding, accommodation and data if the student knows how to spend wisely.

P.s The major reason why International students (Nigerians) struggle in Canada is finance. Once you have money, tuition fully paid, you will do well in Canada.

Wow...this is very insightful. Thanks!

Phatkings:


Juju no hold you some programs are very competitive with limited seats and no be only you they apply students from over the world they apply too so is a tough race bro

I applied too and have not heard from them Thou mine was on the 9th. Rather than been curious, just be more prayerful. Hand it over to God and focus on something else.

Hello Benwens,

You can check Centennial college out, they don't have deadlines for most of their courses except the intake for that particular session is filled.

But if you intend to consider May 2020 intake, try:

1. Conestoga college
2. Seneca college
3. George Brown college
4. Georgian college

The all have Electrical/Electronics Technician/Technology and Power Energy Technician/Technology.

Good luck!

Thanks for your response. Is there any University offering graduate diploma in electrical or mechanical engineering for may next year that would easily accept 2:2 in electrical engineering ? Thanks.

JustMellow:


Why try to stress yourself. You can submit the new updated ission letter for September 2020 and during the wait for a decision from the embassy, you can apply to other schools for possible January 2020 intake.

But won't the embassy issue a Visa that's valid for September 2020. And when they do it would not mean anything even if I get a school that resumes January

i am not sure your visa will come before april or may. i think i have read a case where someone submitted new LOA and he was given visa by June the next year

Good Morning House, I just started following the travelling to canada thread, i wished i had started earlier. Presently i applied to Fanshawe college for a certificate program in GIS as i studied Urban and regional planning in Yabatech (HND) i applied for september 2019, i was granted ission i paid the ission deposit of $2,300 CAD, hopping to defer the ission for January 2020 because of Visa Processing, I sent a letter to them for deferral since 06th of september , that they will issue me another Letter of ission showing January. Am yet to get any response. This is delaying my visa application.
I would like to ask alot of questions concerning SOA of sponsor and my own savings as does are the only documents missing for my Visa Application.
Please i want to ask what should i do and i want to know if visa application for january is not late now that i have not even started the whole process?

I will advise you to start from page one of this thread. You will find answers to all your curiosities and even more i can assure u. Nevertheless, if you have areas u still don't understand after going through it, u should ask precise questions and i am sure gurus here will put you through according.
Peace

Good morning House. Please, i would like you to help me out on how to Notarize my Government-Issued Photo ID at the Canadian Embassy.

* Do i need to book an appointment or just visit within the working hours of the business day?
* Do i need to pay any fee for notarizing my Government- Issued Photo ID?
* If i need to pay, how much is notarizing fee?
* What is the mode of payment (Credit Card or Cash)?
* What are the required documents to be submitted in order to get my Government-Issued Photo ID notarized

It was summed and besides, the closing balance of the should be more than the summed available funds.

Hello Daniel,

As long as you are a matured applicant and gainfully employed, there is much need to include your personal SOA whether or not your salary is paid in cash. The most important thing is having certain amount sitting as the closing balance and to an extent, the inflow and outflow.

It will also help your application if your brother can transfer the said funds to your at least to cover your 1st year LE then write a letter of to address the lump sum and the purpose it serve.

As it may be, its advisable for you to include your personal SOA to that of your uncle.

P.S: out of the 100s of millions in your uncle's , he should try as much as possible to show a bit of financial commitment towards the intended sponsorship.

Good luck!

Benwems:

Thanks for your response. Is there any University offering graduate diploma in electrical or mechanical engineering for may next year that would easily accept 2:2 in electrical engineering ? Thanks.

Memorial University and University of Saskatchenwan has Electrical and Electronic Engineer. Thus, i think Memorial focus more on Communications Engineer in their Graduate Diploma. With a 2.2, i doubt the possibility. However, the respective schools before applying.

Good luck!

Upon the issuance of the visa, as long as its valid, you can facilitate your entry to Canada where at the port of entry your study permit will be issued to suit your ission intake.

So, for as long as you have a valid visa and a new ission letter, you can easily change your program intake by updating the new issions letter in your gckey online .

Good luck!

Then u need to apply through the ontario college portal.. This is a portal that contains most selected colleges in Ontario, so if u wanna apply for a course and pay for the ission then u need to go through the Ontario College International portal... Please note, go through the Intentional portal and nt the domestic... Peace
