Baba @justwise
It is not a plus to have a family member in canada....for a student visa.....
You saying this means you do not understand the real concept of "family ties in canada and country of residence"
Hav u read @standupguys gcms notes.....(thats one among few others)

If for express entry or any other PR application then it is very much a plus.

For a student they want u to come an spend ur money and show that u wil go back...

For PR they want u to show u won't struggle or find it hard to settle...

As much as i think you're right, it is also not a minus. The thing is, i dont see a reason for anyone to declare s/he has a family in Canada except if the person is his/her sponsor or immediate family member whose details must be provided in the Family information form.

Trv denied for insufficient funds. How do I tackle this? I used my uncle as sponsor.I submitted his business account cad $ 50,000 and my personal account cad $ 3800. My total cost of tuition was 3700 annually (masters)

Did you submit his cac document? Co2 and co7 to show his shareholding in the company? Did he get a reference letter for you from his bank? How good was your sponsorship letter? Was it convincing enough?

You definitely got something wrong.

Jst Tell me that you posted this comment from sleep ...

Lol.... you actually can not blame him.....you don't know what he's going through......he may end up in Libya don't worry.

Guys, don't be discouraged!!! Trust me being in Canada is worth all these stress 10 times over.....if not for your sake, do for the sake of you kids and give them that dual citizenship.

ayooluwatoni:


If he was denied based on insufficient funds, that probably will be because the funds are neither in the applicant's country of residence nor destination. And not because his sponsor was in the US. The SOJ's sister had similar issue, her sponsor was in the US, and she was refused. But then she applied again, in the 2nd app her sponsor already transfered money required for 1 year tuition and living expenses to Canada, and at that time the funds available to her was already in her country of destination (Canada). She jejeli chop her trv with smile and joy......

So i think we all need to understand some of these reasons to avoid avoidable mistakes.

Let me repeat myself, quote the person who asked the question.

I don't have the time nor patience for pointless arguments. I deal with facts. Don't drag me into any useless argument here.

TheDreamChaser:
Hi everyone,
What is your take on this https://www.nairaland.com/3064363/stop-laminating-certificates

Does Canada reject laminated school documents?

None that i've heard of. Probably because i didn't laminate any of my results/certificates.

ayeyemi91:
Good morning everyone. Please I'll like to ask some questions on my visa application. I have just been admitted to Dalhousie University for my masters. I also have scholarship covering my tuition and living expenses. My question is on the requirement for bank statement as part of my visa application. I would like to know if I can use a corporate account for a company in which I am a Director or my Dad's personal account. Also, i would like to know how the amount that would be deemed sufficient. Thank you all.

Just use your dad's if there's sufficient funds in it. You actually shouldn't need to show any more proof of funds since you got a scholarship to cover all your expenses, but to just be on a safe side, you might wanna have a balance of say 5m.

Toluwaase:
Thank you very much everyone for helpful answers you have been providing.

I need to ask if I can apply for TRV with a passport that will expire in October for September term.

Secondly, I had a scholarship of 30,000 CAD/year which will cover my tuition and upkeep, and so far I have got an assurance from my cooperative that 2,000,000 Naira can be provided as loan apart from the money in my account? They are ready to back this up with a letter, Am I good to go with this for funding?

Or do I need to provide addition proof of fund to the embassy?

Hmmm, biko to be on a safe side, look for a sponsor and just use the sponsor's details.......the level of trust these people have for us has not gotten to that level

Use your Dad and also make sure you fund your own personal account with atleast 1.5m to show them that you have enough money for flight and other basic things while your Dad's reference letter will show that you will be supported.... its important! irrespective of your scholarship... They dont want to hear that you are unemployed!!! and if you are employed, they want you to show proof....track record of income atleast

Hello House,

Am new at this thread. Please i need urgent reply. I'm filling my study permit form and i have few questions...Please see questions below

1. Is it compulsory to have a sponsor? (cos the form says you must have at least $10,000 CAD in my account which i do and i have paid my tuition fee)

2. My sponsor is not a family member, how do i proof relationship?

3. What's the minimum amount that can be in my sponsor's account?

4. They are requesting for birth certificate for each family member.... i find this very unnecessary

Thank you

1. We've had on this thread those that sponsored themselves and they got their trv. But what worked for Mr AB may necessary not work for Mr BA, even though they both have A and B. So my candid advice, get a sponsor in addition to what you have in your account.

2. You dont have to worry yourself about this. Just believe in your heart he's your Uncle or S/he's your Aunt, and claim that in your app. Let s/he also claim you as nephew or niece. After all, culturally we were brought up to see any one older that us as our uncle or aunt or father or mother....lol... you just need to write a very good sponsorship letter.

3. That depends on your tuition and the duration of your program. If it's just a year masters with tuition of less than 10k cad, i'd say 5 to 8m.

4. It is NOT NECESSARY at all. I guess the officer that added that just took some wet weed when he prepared the guide. Anyway i didn't add that to my app sha.

And finally, I wish you God's best

Mr man...how you dey?

And yes, Canada is actually worth the stress. My visa app also got to a point that I was like what the heck is special about schooling abroad or travelling to Canada.

Well, I have seen the difference.

I dey Alberta o, Saint Paul precisely. Winnipeg far o. This permit has now turned to Gold. Just too tough now. Gone are the days when you get med call within 2 weeks and get trv within 5 weeks. What didn't matter before is now a big deal. May God favour all applicants on this Thread.

hello ,please I need a well detail sponsorship letter from a company,pls

Please house anyone with a well detail sponsorship letter from a company .I want to use it for my application

ayooluwatoni:


You stand a chance, but you need to passionately explain yourself to the Visa Officer. I don't believe there's a general rule, and each application is treated differently. But it will be tough, if you dont explain convincingly what you've been doing since 2011, and how that prevented you from furthering your education, till this time......of all times, when the economic situation of Nigeria is "better" to say the least.......
BTW, you didn't say what work you've been doing.

Hello ayooluwatoni thanks for the advice. I have been practising my career as a fashion designer . Besides my kids are now big that I can leave them with my mum and go to futher.??

Jayne07:

Madam you really need to calm down

People quote others here unnecessarily trying to start up arguments. The goal here is to give advice to those who want it not stirring things up. Just like you quoting me now, will that get you your trv?

Madam, you have started again......
Quoting you does not necessaril mean he is against you or for you.....he is only adding his inputs....
And by the way why do you hav problem with people having ideas or opinion other than yours....

This is a forum and not everybody will agree with you, you just have to move on....
