The IRCC visa office in Lagos, Nigeria, has introduced the Nigeria Student Express (NSE). This new initiative aims at reducing processing times for Nigerians applying for Canadian study permits. Nigerians make up a large percentage of the annual applicants for immigration to Canada, and study permits are a large part of this. The NSE is a heartening indication from the Government of Canada that they wish to encourage and promote this. The estimated processing time for study permits at the Lagos office is currently around 8 weeks, but the NSE aims to reduce it to 20 days. To be eligible, candidates must have been accepted into a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree at a Canadian post-secondary institution, or they must have been accepted into a post-graduate diploma course. They must also demonstrate their financial ability to undertake their course of study in Canada. If you would like to learn more about the NSE or other Canadian immigration matters, please contact our office to schedule a consultation.

ravinder kaur I and my family want to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to Devika, John and the team at Borders Law firm for assisting us with the PRTD application at a time when most processing was closed due to lockdowns. They also worked proactively with us to establish a good strategy with back up plans which gave us sufficient information and assurance. Very responsive and forthcoming with information. Proactive in processing but at the same time they put enough time in the application and the supporting details to have high quality of the application. As a result our application was processed in 1 go at a time when it was critical and sensitive time for the family. Thank you again.

Annie Caplan Devika and John were excellent. They understood how this process would change my life and helped me get to the US. John was extremely kind and thorough. When my employer in the US ended up trying to take advantage of me, they helped me transfer my visa to a new employer and had so much empathy for my situation and now I have a job in California that makes me so happy while helping others. I am beyond grateful for their kindness and service. I will be using them for any changes to my status going forward.
