Stevenssen:

Both are very good countries, with very good economies.

In of visa application, both are difficult. I think Australia might be slightly easier to get now than Canada due to higher number of people applying to Canada. Though you'll probably need an agent for the Australian visa.

In of salary and quality of life, there isn't much difference.

Canada is close to USA, Australia is close to Indonesia and New Zealand.

The other difference is the weather : Australia is known to have similar temperatures to us while Canada is very very cold.

Your decision.

Thanks

Hello bro.. I have issues with this..
Going for a diploma wen u already have a bsc or HND is a step down.. you either go for masters in a university or go for a POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA(PGD) in a college.. if your sponsor will be your boss, fine but you have to explain vividly why he's sponsoring you, I will suggest you seek a family relation as a sponsor b.. Also for your wife and kids how do u tend to take care of them wen u leave..so these are the issues u need to look into. But for the diploma, not certain you will get the visa... Other suggestions can also be offered cos this is my own 2kobo

Thanks for your response, your case is very different though. I have never been to any higher institution, my highest qualification is WAEC and I started working for my boss after high school.
Cant do a 4years degree atm, because of the duration and my age. No school will want to it me. Hence the diploma which is shorter. My wife works and earn well and my boss promises to continue paying me till i graduate. I can still come back and manage the business. Hes sponsoring me becacause of my loyalty all this years and my wife has 2m soa whch l am giving her as upkeep aside her salary and also excluding my own 6m. Please l still need more imput from the house.

Good morning family,

Just got MSc ission and need to tackle POF for visa application, I got a senior friend in Canada who is willing to . Therefore, I would like to know how do I show how the money was got considering it will be a lump sum from not a close relative.

Pls house what do you suggest I do to perfect this?

Naijaforeigner:


Canada PR! Canada PR! Canada PR!

PR might be far fetched for her right now. She needs a masters in addition to everything she listed else she won't make the cut off.

Who's coming to or just landed in Edmonton?! Hit me up.

Please, with the delay in response from CIC, can I Just do medicals before they respond ,in order not to waste time again when they respond?

Obehi44:

If your application is up to 3 or 4 weeks and you have gotten a BVL update already, just hope and pray for the best because a decision has been reached already and going by last year’s trend, it’s not a good one unless they have changed their style again.

Getting port back depends on if there are no other scrutiny to be done on your documents. 1 week , 2 weeks and above.

As long as you and your sponsor explain it in your SOP and letter of respectively, you won't have any issue. Let him state why he intends to you as well.
Good luck

If @Obehi44's post was referring to you then don't go for medical yet until you get a from CIC. That said, the fact you go for medical before CIC asked for it has no effect on your app(if it will approved or not), so be patient for now (except if you have some money that is just sitting idle in your and don't know what to do with it......just kidding).
Be patient for now

Qudkom:

The least you're going to get is an acceptance deposit between $500- $1500 but you'll still pay the tuition regardless.

P.s: it's pretty much a waste of time coming into Canada and not enrolling fully in school. I can't count how many people have tried that and at your end get tracked down by the immigration.

Thanks for the advice boss,I'm 21years old,an experienced forklift operator but I only got my o'levels.This really make me think I'm qualified for the study alone but I don't know if I could apply for the express entry considering I don't have any A levels,please your advice is needed boss
Thanks once again and God bless

Glowing1:

Good day guys, I'm really new here. I would like to know if I can convert a Canadian visiting visa to a student visa in Canada. I intend going through conference, I'm currently a student in .

Thank you

Any one going to Prince Edward Island university or lives there ?

Chaniel:


Follow them up o, as a matter of fact, I am experiencing the same issue with Conestoga college. The level of nonchalance is alarming. Mine is 10 weeks now.

In my last message to them, I told them I will proceed to tag Canadian government officials on social media with my complaint if they don't give me a definite timeline to issue the refund(The initial timeline they gave was 6-8 weeks). They moved the refund to a new stage the same day and later told me it will take an additional 2-4 weeks.

So don't wait at all, follow up.

I need you all help on the issue of refund from Conestoga.
I requested for submit about 3weeks ago. I did that on my student profile and I mailed them immediately. I was then asked to mail CIBC. CIBC sent me a refund request form to fill, where I filled my details including banking details.
Since then, I've not heard from them and no change on my profile.
Please how am I supposed to go about it?

Pls, I need someone good in Study plan/statement of Purpose reviewer.....

Pls, it is urgent
