Fellow nairalanders,
I want to apply for the french language intensive course in one of canadian universities in Quebec region, the total tuition fee for international student including health insurance is about $2000 in Canadian dollars.

The application process is a one time procedure; i.e. you will forward the application fee+documents+tuition fee to the school at a go and they will send letter of acceptance which I will forward to Canadian visa office here in Nigeria for study permit/visa.

My doubt is that, wont the embassy reject application based on the fact that I can study french here in Nigeria? or because the tuition fee is cheap.

The school said, they cant influence admission and refund is not guaranteed

Please someone more experienced in this field should advise if I should go ahead with the application of what?

You are right, those two issues could be a problem, $2000 for a fee and insurance is too cheep, and the school may not be a good one. They may doubt your motive of going to Canada.

The University is well renown in Quebec region, their normal academic program tuition is even one of the highest, it just that this is very cheap, that's why I doubting if that will convince the immigration poeple enough to grant my studypermit/visa.

The most scary about this is the money non-refundable. Sure, that's another way of formal extortion.

Another good point there.

I think you guys are right, the school knows that not every applicant may get visa and once they pay, the money don go be that, But they advise one apply for one year in case you don't meet the normal admission term, one can come in as a special student . But i no fit cant risk that $2000, that will solve some economic problem here in Naija.

I will still appreciate if any veteran on this area can give me some advice, maybe I should back out or proceed.

I am still waiting, some with visa appointments experience should advise.

:d

Bro, I think you can give it a try if you have a networth that can convince the immigration officer enough that you have something at stake here in Nigeria that will make you come back when you are through with your program.

That is the simple thing most of applicants make at the interview point that makes them fail.
