SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS MY CHANCE OF GETTING A STUDENT VISA TO CANADA TO STUDY ACCA. I HAVE GOTTEN AN ACCEPTANCE LETTER FROM LONDON SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AND FINANCE TO STUDY ACCA + ONLINE MBA IN CANADA. I HAVE PAID 100% FOR MY STUDY AND HAVE OVER #3,000,00 BALANCE IN MY ACCOUNT AS PROOF OF FUND FOR LIVING EXPENSES.
I INTEND SENDING IN MY VISA APPLICATION BY APRIL 2011 THE SCHOOL RESUMPTION DATE IS AUGUST 15TH 2011.

Why would you pay 100% of your tuition without visa? - Sorry I know it's your money - (I could not find the refund policy for this school). Tuition payment does not guarantee visa, it might help or it might look like desperation to go. Also it is noteworthy that ACCA can be done from home, home as in anywhere in the world and 'online' MBA, you don't need visa to achieve both. Try and be more convincing in your approach to the embassy. What you have in you a/c is about good for 1 yr, and by the way as a potential accountant paying full tuition 6 months upfront is not a good use of money. I pray the VO does not see it my way remember they are trained to look for 'things'.
Good luck.

@ACCA777, I have also applied for study visa to pursue ACCA in Canada at Stouffville college. we can share experience. The school offered wrote 1year offer on my application. how about yours? though I know ACCA takes more than a year,but I think the college has reasons of doing so. how much does your tuition cost? how far abt ur processing now? I filed my application on 1st April,2011

Let me get this clearly; are you looking to apply for a study visa for an online program?

@ Delta007. No the online MBA is just an added programme. ACCA tuition is a class based lecture

Does anyone heard about Hansa, in Toronto
it's language centre, please if sombody know something about it kindly share your information
beacause I will there this year by the grace of god.

Isnt ACCA an accounting professional certification? If it is, it may be very difficult getting a Visa for that. Not impossible, but difficult.

@ delta, frm ur experience is nt easy to give visa for ACCA, why? Can u enlight us on dat and the reason y is difficult.
My fellow nairalander like ayoade, obietrix and others we need ur contribution here pls

@newacca, cool to know that u ave applied for your study permit. I wish you success my friend.
The tuition for my 10 papers and the online MBA is $6595.00 The duration of the programme is 22months. meaning am suppose to finish by June 2013.
How many appers do u have left?

@subxeroamd,
Canadian embassy I am not sure if Canadian Embassy issue visa to study language in Canada.


@Delta007,
Though I cant confirm anyone that has gotten visa from Nigeria to study ACCA in Canada,but there are lot of Pakistani,Indians,Saudi arabians,chinese etc that have gotten visa to pursue same certification in Canada. I met most of them on another canada forum.


[b]@acca777,[/b]
To be honest,I have not taken any paper yet. I am starting fresh in Canada. Though I applied with my National Diploma in Business result. So,I have 14papers to take.
when are you applying for your study permit?
I wish u and myself success on our visa application.

@newacca. U mean u still have fourteen papers to write? why is your admission letter reading one year then?
Anyway, maybe the school have a reason for doing that | guess.
Please how many month statement of account did u attach with your application and hw many passport photo?
I was sent a guide that requested for 6month statement of account and 3 passport. While the one I downloaded from the CIC said 4months statement of account and 2 passport photo.

@Jasp26,
Thx so much for the information. I applied from Nigeria and I am still praying,hoping and waiting for response from CDHC,lagos
thx 4 ur contributions.

I was about sending my study permit application on friday but could not due to the reason that I need to include a police report. I learnt this could only be obtain @ Alagbon. Could someone tell me how much it cost and hw long to get it?

if u can twist dem it wont b more dan 3000 to 4000 naira, at worst 2days

Thanks All, I got Police clearance certificate for #4,000.00 @ Alagbon, Lagos. I guess the standard price is around #3,500.00 according to one Inspector Emmanuel. It now depends on your bargaining power, they could charge you as much as #5,500.00 And it is possible for you to get it done the same day. In my own case, It took me 4hrs.

Somebody please educate me. Dose all student applying for study permit @ Canadian High Commission Nigeria go through medical test?

@ACCA777,
We are all still expecting to hear from CDHC except longecity who was called for medicals last week. he got his call for medical test after 3 weeks of his application. My application is in it's 10th week. Yet,I am calm and collected. I am hopeful that God wants the best to happen to me. So,I urge you to be hopeful and optimistic. We shall all get there(Insha Allah)
ciao
