If you applied for Fall 2018, it's not time to lose hope yet. We are only in February. Canadian Universities sometimes send out admission offers as late as April. When was your application deadline?

The application deadline is March 1

Have been viewing the thread as a visitor and finally got my documents and thanks to chriaviral’s help I applied.

Got my TRV approved within one day of application. I still think there’s an error lol but just got my TRV today.

Applied: Jan 31
Passport request: Feb 01.

This thread is really helpful.

Going for PGD (Network Security) What is the duration of this program? 1 year or 2 years? If it's a 1 year program, then it's a red flag to apply for your wife to accompany you on Open work permit. The VO would think you want to run away from Nigeria to Canada with your wife. You can apply alone and your wife will join you later

Admission letter & 1st term tuition fee ($7,500) Did you pay this?

Tax Clearance Cert and copy of LIRS card. Are you self-employed? Is your business related to your previous/intended degrees?

Previous Visa to study in India
Marriage Cert
Father's death cert
Degree Cert & transcript (Computer Science)
MCITP transcript
CCNA, LINUX and MCITP training cert
Personal CAC docs & that of sponsor

Business SOA with 2.6M and sponsor's bank statements 12M, £7k+, £4K+ Did your sponsor in his letter state how much he is willing to give you? Did he pay your tuition fee and transfer your living expenses to your personal account? Is your sponsor your parents, brother or third party (uncle/aunt)? You should also take into consideration the number of dependents of your sponsor. He cant spend all the money he has on you and ignore his dependents. Put that 2.6m in your personal account not business account. Your sponsor should do the same if the SOA he submitted for you is his business account.

Family birth cert
SOP. I dont know what you wrote. Maybe you can send to me to help you review.

2 landed properties It can be in your name or parents' names.

Sponsor's affidavit of financial support
NYSC cert
Police character cert
Copy of previous tickets Flight tickets? No need. The visas in your passport cover that.

So peeps can you please help out? I was delayed.

The bolded words are my responses to you.

Best of luck.

March 1st most admission start been sent out!! Good luck to all prospective students fall applicants. All eyes are waiting anxiously. Make sure to apply quickly as soon as you receive admission and compile paperwork. Processing time in Nigeria now is the lowest its ever been in recent memory: 11 weeks. Fall gets crazy and may jump to 22 weeks average processing time. So apply soon to avoid been back logged till next year cos fall is the busiest time for CIC. Best wishes.

BREAK DOWN BETWEEN ONLINE ROUTE AND PAPER ROUTE

1-)The online route no one will correct your mistakes like it is done on paper route where VFS workers will make sure your papers are complete and are arranged accordingly before submission.

2-) If you have scanners and a desktop/system close by, online route is okay. But mind u, u need to compress your documents before you upload them and you will need to complete payment with your credit card, but the paper route you are to pay at the counter.

3-)The online route, after submission you will get notification a day or 2 days depending at times 1week to proceed for your biometrics. While the paper route, you will complete everything that very day at the VFS office, then wait for the outcome of your application.

4-) Finally, Online route is more expensive (68K-70K) compared to paper route (55-57K)

So it's left for you to decide which best suit you. But be guided that none of them has added advantage to your TRV application.

In regards to the sample SOP you're requesting for, no one here can give out his/her letters to intending applicants. Explore to www.google.com there you can find varieties of sop's. Beware of plagiarism. I only review SOP's I don't give out samples.

Thank you for your detailed explanations on this.

Hello house, I applied for my visa Jan 25 and was refused Feb 12. The following reasons were stated:
1. I'm not satisfied that you have sufficient and available financial resources without working in Canada to pay your tuition fees.

2. I'm not satisfied that you have sufficient and available financial resources without working in Canada to maintain yourself and any family member accompayning you.

3. You have not satisfied me that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay ticking:
- Travel History
- Purpose of visit
- Current employment situation
- Personal assets and financial status

4. Your proposed studies are not reasonable in light of one or more of your : qualifications, previous study and employment, level of establishment in your country and relationship to sponsor.

Please people, how do I go about responding to this? I'll like to re-apply ASAP

NB: My wife applied for open work permit alongside my study permit application as she will like to accompany me.

•You submitted two landed documents and yet they checked you have not shown that you will return to Nigeria based on assets. Make sure the landed document is a C of O and attach valuation by a licensed estate surveyor. Make sure it is in your name or that of your parents or spouse, with an explanation how you stand to benefit or inherit the asset.

•You submitted enough money in your sponsor's account and even paid one year tuition, yet they ticked you have no financial ability to pay. Maybe the person sponsoring you is a third party. Try and look for someone more closer in relationship to you. Sponsorship from close family relative is more believable.

• You stated that you are married and still it was ticked that you have not shown return to Nigeria based on family ties. You may want to apply alone, using wife and any children as family ties to Nigeria. Your wife can apply later should you become successful when you reapply again.

•You included tax clearance. That is good. Include personal pay slips as well with matching bank account where salary is deposited if you are not paid in cash. Reference letter from employers should be included with renumerations. Good money been made by you in your place of employment generally shows the VO you have good employment prospect to induce your return back to Nigeria.

• Keep in mind that PGD is generally difficult to scale through. In a detailed SOP you need to show the VO why PGD. Why not straight to a masters degree? This will better show legitimate continued progression and I will encourage you to apply for a masters if you can. I know someone who was refused for PGD and turned around and applied for a masters and was approved. Everything been equal. If you insist on going for PGD, concentrate on showing why PGD in your particular circumstance is a better choice than a masters and how your career objectives is better enhanced upon return to Nigeria with a PGD than a masters. Make sure the course you are applying to study is related to what you studied in school or what you currently do or have done for a job.

• Make sure to include your transcript or certificate of graduation, including showing that you are a genuine student. One of the ways to show you are a genuine student is using a paragraph in your SOP to demonstrate your expertise in your chosen field. Do not get into lecturing so as not to bore the VO, just a short explanation of your academic area of interest and how that will translate to employability when you return to Nigeria would be effective. Your SOP should be short, straight to the point and concise. Attack every point of refusal in an effective and cogent manner.

•Best wishes!

@BBCLUE, I stumbled upon you post, I’ll like to tell you to remember what’s ahead of you.In this period you need show love and humility towards others.Stop bashing a grown man like that.Yes nobody is above mistakes and we’ve come to far to soil this family with division. It’s totally uncalled for because it’s a faceless forum and you might be needing help later on.
@Jnyuwa I know you are a great man and will make us proud one day. Congrats on your medical request and please don’t delay in responding since you always form ‘bad guy’ with these CIC people!

@Jnyuwa02 I hope you don’t mind me reminding you this is Nigeria and every of your sentences and utterances count! You know the rest!!!

I got admission to York University with full funding (Tuition + 17,000CAD annual stipend). I will not be using anyone as sponsor. But as I have learnt from this great thread, it is still wise for the applicant to submit SOA. My problem is, I have very little money in my account at the moment. Can I submit my dad's SOA instead?

Congrats! York is a wonderful school, with great reputation and very diverse and in an urban setting. You will like it. You got it right! Submit your SOA no matter how small. Someone on this forum with full scholarship got approved with a mediocre 450k in his account. Your dad's SOA also can help especially if it has a lot of money. It can act as home tie to show VO that you guys are not suffering, so chances are that you will return to Nigeria. Best wishes.

Hello house,
I like to ask, if one have a sibling who's ready to sponsor but resides in the US for example. my questions are
1.How do one request for bank statement since it was said here that CIC expects original copies of SOA when submitting applications?

2. What exactly can be done asides transferring funds to my personal account?

3. What documents should I request since his not a third party/other relative?

Please kindly help as am a bit confused.

Your brother can print his original US bank statement by simply logging online if he has online banking. Takes only minutes and he can email it to you. He can also transfer money into your dormiciliary account in Nigeria so easily. In 2-3 days it will be in your account in Nigeria. Ask him to transfer 10k to cover for your first year room and board. Since he is a close family relative, paying one year tuition is not necessary. If CIC want you to pay, they will let you know. Request also from him an affidavit of support. It's a sworn affidavit undertaking to support you and the reason why he is doing so. His drivers license, birth certificate and copy of green card or any legal status in the United States, need to be included. Don't forget to include a letter of explanation from your own end, expounding on your ties to Nigeria and the factors that would induce your return. Best!

Hi guys, please I want to ask a quick question. My parent is considering selling a property that the money gotten from it will cover my tuition and upkeep with extras. Now the question is how do they show this in the sponsorship letter and it ll fly instead of account statement cos their account statement cant work at all becos they are just doing petty things, and getting a co sponsor is tight now cos they are only offering their account statement nothing more.

My dad does still have hectares of lands though if after we sell this said property. Please advice needed. Thanks

How many years is the program? if it is above 1 year, how will they pay for the subsequent year (s)? It is not just about providing funds for the first year but they should be able to show proof that they can sustain further pay (that's where they need to show employment letter and payslip or any other means of making money).

hardeyeanc:
Great people... please which one is beta to move to canada with family of 2 kids

1. invitation from a relative in canada to spend a vacation with him and come back to reprocess with family

2. Tourist (with family of 2 kid)

3. Student visa(only me and I'll work on how the family will come and join)

which option has the higher chance of getting visa

thanks in anticipation.

It will depend on your end plan. What exactly is your plan? cos that will determine what to pick

jnyuwa02:


I noticed you too many times not once you been critical. Who is God and never makes mistake? I remember writing that you have to be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident to order the Gcms notes for $5, apparently anybody in Canada even one without legal status can do so. Someone said stop misleading people. Me mislead? I am of the opinion that some people need to learn manners. Just correct someone without using high falutin language. Even the best people among us make mistakes.

AGAIN!!! LOL! Congratulations bro, approval is around the corner
