kayconsult: @ hayek. I understand ur missing ur wife and kid, but my advise is since ur still a student and ur wife can't use her 2 million naira acct,y not wait till after your program, try and get a job, then u can easyly get a parmanent residence which will enable both ur wife and kid to come and visit. Or wait till ur doing ur convocation, u can then send both of them an invitation letter for your convocation through ur schl which will be a great option too.

If I may ask, is your advice based on experience or just a mere opinion. There are many students whose family are here while still being a student. Unfortunately, they are not Nigerians but what to hear from Nigerians who have experienced this and what documentations that would be required.

jan2013: Hello House. am new here pls. Am having little challenge in making my study application payment online. i have upload all the required document. when i proceed to the payment section, after filling my stanbicbank master card detail, the response was "transaction not approved-transaction refuse" Please do anyone here have similar experience and how was such challenge resolved? I will appreciate your contribution pls. Thanks
I was in a similar situation myself, I tried GTB, Access and some other banks..........they never worked. I finally tried Zenith bank MasterCard and it worked, from experience, the only cards you could use are Zenith and Firstbank MasterCard............they are your sure bet.

hayek: Hello Forumites: I gained a lot from this forum last time when applying for my Study permit which I was eventually granted. I am coming back to the same forum again to explore if any other members here can offer useful advice. I am currently doing graduate program here in BC. However, I would like to bring in my family( my wife and kid) here next year for Easter. I am trying to figure out what exactly I would need to or what documentation they would need to send along with their application and at the same time assess their success rate. Both of them have traveled to the US before. She has close to N2m in her account and I am still on the payroll of my employer till now but unfortunately she wont be able to get my account statement. Anyone with useful suggestions should please offer it.

Nice to have you back on Nland; I strongly believe you can have them over for Easter.
Married students are allowed to bring in their family if they can afford the expense but it's a little bit difficult depending if you want them to visit or stay permanently.

So what's your exact intension?
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 5 by kclexa(m): 8:21pm On Oct 14, 2013
sampitts: The transcript is an official one so it should be sent from the school. You just need to pay for the transcript fee and supply the school with the adress details... You might need to follow it up and make sure they send it early enough as some schools can realy delay

@naijaphil; sampitts is correct, it should be sent by the school although I have seen some very funny situations in naija where they hand you the sealed transcript to send yourself.

Now, if this becomes your situation. I would advise that ensure the envelope is properly sealed and the school's official stamp is placed across the seal.
You can use the post office registered mail to send it. It is actually efficient cos I have used it.

Ensure you put the current school's admission details as the sender not your details.

After all said; the best advice is always to have the school send it themselve if they agree but you will have to follow up bumper to bumper.
Good luck

Sleem-B:
Hello all,
I need guidance and advice on my second visa application against Sept 2014.
I got admission to MUN for engr'ng management earlier this year(for Sept 2013) and I got an agent for the visa application.though my school fees was 22k CAD,i had a closing balance of over 6m though about 3million left some weeks after,I was denied based on SPONSORSHIP NOT CREDIBLE.
A friend that works with an oil firm wanted to co-sponsor then but my agent said it might not fly cos I already had a family and it might be difficult for the VO to swallow that.Though I am married with a kid,my wife lost her job late last year,so i could not add her salary account statement.
MUN has sent my new deferral offer against 2014 and I plan to start the application myself.Please i need all the right guidance I can get.My monthly salary is about 220K per month.kindly advise how best to package the application to avoid the sponsorship credibility issue agai.
kayconsult: @ sleem-B, did u get a letter of employment and study leave letter from your employer? Did u submit a c of o of any building to show u have home tiles? I don't think 6 million is too small for the visa application, I no of ppl that even had 3.5 million and we're given study visa. In a nutshell, I will be willing to help but let's see all the documents you submitted along with your application?


these are the docs I submitted:
1.statement of salary account with a closing bal of 6m,though about 3m came in the month of submission.
2.Payslip of about 200k net.
3.pension statement of about 1,9m
4.employment letter stating that i earn about 4.4m annually.
5.official employment letter from my manager (stating that i will have to handover weeks before my leave)
6.my wife's birth cert and passport.
7.my son's birth cert.
8.payment receipt of 2000CAD from MUN.
these are the vital docs I could remember.
I could not get a leave letter as i am not qualified according to my organization's policy on study leave,I have a land that was valued at about 2.5m as at the time of application but my agent did not include it cos it has no C.of O.
Now i have a friend that wants to co-sponsor,he has a good cash flow and some assets.can it work?

Nuendo: MY good people of the house. Good to see much progress here. I hail the entire crew on board here all the way from Calgary. For the new comers, I was an active member of this forum. Believe me, You have no idea of the wealth of information available here. If you have followed this thread from minimum of one part ago, it would be less likely that you would go wrong. I am a living testimony. Also great to see the Veterans are still powering the house. To be honest with you , I thought I would be able to do same once i arrived here but the first one month in school has been the most intense of my life. Please my advice to all those coming to school here is to be prepared because it is totally a different ball game to that which we have been used to in Nigeria. Also make sure you make accommodation reservations before you land so that once you are on ground, you pay at worst one day hotel bills and move to check out /pay for your new place the same day. Also avoid the pressure of buying clothes form naija to bring here. THEY WOULD BE INEFFECTIVE HERE. Do your shopping here. The only thing effective would be your jeans. Please buys as much if you can. All those your TM shirts and plain trousers would be irrelevant for 7 months here. Also as much as possible, utilize this forum to identify those who are travelling in your direction. Working as a group when you come would save you loads of money, time and would make things easier for you. ALSO MAKE SURE YOU CARRY A TRAVEL CHARGER . Your phones are most likely to be dead once you arrive and trust me, you don not want to be out of contact when you get here. FINALLY, DO WHAT YOU CAN TO GET A WORKING MASTERCARD THERE IN NAIJA BEFORE YOU COME AND STUFF IT UP WITH SOME MONEY. This should make things easier for you as you before you set up one here. Save the money and do better things with it. Its been great though, Canada is a lovely place with very nice people and peaceful environment. Baba God would keep on taking care of his children. I hope CDHC are treating you guys well. I hail my guy CHRIGO and Oga SIGA, Please is Earthgreeners still in naija?? I never get time look since part4 (page 342) and I am doing so now only because we are on mid semester break. My regards to all........
May God grant all your heart desires.

I guess the Thanksgiving thing means a number of us can come online to relieve our growing experience and show face on the forum. Saskatchewan is fine, and I really like it.

Thanks Bro.wont it be too early to apply for admission now? Or is it the earlier I apply the better my chances of securing admission! Ok let say I apply and I was given admission and there isn't funds to process it.can it be deferred and reopen later on?
Page 1 you said! Haba,page 1 na long thing ooo grin anyway,i will try to do it.

- is not too early esp if you are applying to a university. D earlier d better tins depends on skuls go tru their website

@ kjbobo congrats . I used to get pissed when I see some nigerians who happen to be active member on this forum talk about reading as if its a war front, I used to say to myself,that's there veiw. The secret to ur academic xcess was hardwork,consistency and reading. But the bottom line is if one don't study hard, then such person can't excel in academics.

earthgreeners:

bros i greet ooo... but i disagree....In Nigeria, I only read 2 or 3days to exam... for here, na every class get readings and na different approach......... hw do u explain smone wey dey do env. resources mgt wey go design web and shoot video... i no even get foundation for all dis tinx ooo....although hardwork is duly rewarded here... diff strokes for diff folks... na adaptation matter
My bone of contention isn't reading days.....it's the environment and convenience of achieving results...example: I am doing a paper now...I have electricity,convenient accommodation,software's like endnote and mendeley to manage my work.Articles I would have paid for...I get free....all these put together make reading more convenient here....that's my point!
