I applied last year to redriver college maslf I was refused
My fiance and I applied he was given last year I wasnt
I applied dis year tru an agent wiv Lambton College admission letter and I got my visa
She gave me my documents bk nd said I can mk payments wen I get there
I told her I wasn't going there anymore I still want to go to redriver she said I should at least do a semester at Lambton before moving cs of immigration
I told her I cnt waste money she den called me yesterday dt I should mk payment to Lambton for my first semester dt I'll b asked at d immigration bf stamping nd I said m nt going to Lambton
She said she's advising me dt I should nt get maslf in trouble dt my study permit will av Lambton nd m going to redriver.
I told her I'll inform cic. She kept saying I should not get maslf in trouble.
So now she's persuading me to pay nd don't want to go to lambton

TempusQ:
IMO
Make sure you first to the city Lambton college is first.
Then check the deadline for Lambton tuition payment, if you'll be in Canada before the deadline, no worries,
but if you won't, be sure to pay for your first semester tuition before leaving.
And secure your place with Redriver College.
After you must have gotten your Study Permit at POE in Canada, request for tuition refund from Lambton (digest their refund policy, I think you will loose CA$1,000 of your deposit).
Please sister, trade wisely and be meticulous, until you get your Study Permit which was exactly what you applied for in your approved application, behave as if VO is still watching you with CCTV.
More grace

Their new policy as from June or July 2015 is CA$1,000 as against the previous CA$500 you lost in your time.
Using Humber College as case study;
Please note that $500 (or $1,000 for International Students) of Program Fees (e.g. Tuition Deposit) is automatically withheld once payment is made. Late fees are non-refundable. Refunds will be processed using the same method that the original payment was made. Refund of fees originally paid by wire transfer, web banking, debit card and cash will be issued by cheque. Refunds for students that received OSAP may be forwarded to OSAP through the National Student Loan Service Centre (NSLSC).

pcachuks:

Will loose only $500 , That was what i did .

Chars1289:

oghene biko..na dt yr i get adm.lol..Greetings sir

Ahahahah....look at you, 2008 set means I got in 2008! And not that I graduated in 2008! So what dept did you finish from?

I understand na, just saying, for the sake of clarity cos most of us got confused initially

GboyegaD:


They are the same thing now. The difference with yours is that you get a study permit at your point of entry.

GboyegaD:


Madam, TRV na TRV ooo. Be it visiting, student, work permit.

yes TRV Na TRV bt Ur statement was dat its only in at Ur entry dey give student permit nd I said no it's also stated in Ur passport S1-Student.....Dey cnt state it like dat on Ur passport if U dint apply for one....get my point...

IMO
Use the loan to pay for your full tuition and accommodation...
Include the receipt for both in your TRV application...
How much does your sponsor has in his account?
He should then state that (he's already paid for your tuition and accommodation) in his affidavit of support...
Then, pledge additional 1million naira for your remaining expenses.

With this, you don't have to explain yourself about lodgement nor loan, because after using your account to make all this payments,
your SOA ending balance will appear normal.
ALSO
To cover your tracks, don't let the loan enter your account direct,
It should enter your sponsor's account (hope your brother won't mess with it),
Your sponsor will then transfer it to your account (which you'll use in paying for your tuition & accommodation),
So that, while going through your statement if they notice the amount that entered your account on a particular day,
They'll understand it came from your sponsor (your sponsor should use his full name in making the deposit).
Immediately after printing your brother's SOA, wire your remaining cash back to your own account to avoid story for the gods.

Please don't mind my thoughts if it don't seem good enough.

I bow to be corrected by the gurus

morgan2006:
Good evening, friends.

Please advice me in the best manner possible.

I have access to a loan facility from my place of work and the lodgement would read on my peraonal SOA when I print it out this month as I intend to apply against January 2016 admission.

How best can I explain this lodgement of cash to my account in my SOP?
would the VO consider this loan as a burden during my schooling in Canada in terms of paying back?
My brother is also a sponsor to me for my program
would this loan lodgement seem suspicious.

Any helpful idea/advice is welcomed.

God bless

Hello house, I wanna apply for Masters study in university of saskatchewan. Does anyone know anything about the school or anyone in the school already to enlighten me about the school?

make una help....every and any information is welcome!!!

-which visa application route is best. paper/online

-I'm using my brother in law as my sponsor and I also wanna use my dad's landed properties documents just to up my chances and see if it could also serve as home ties since my uncle isn't a direct family member. I don't know if this step is ok.

-his SOP's ending balance is 4 million but the overall transaction recorded in the account is 60m for three months statement and 100m for 6months statement. is it okay...I have paid my full tuition tho

-please can anybody here help me with a sample of consent letter and sponsorship sample letter. I read about a consent form, don't know it's relationship to consent letter.

-then, I emailed my school and requested for some sort of payment proof for tuition, they're now telling me to register for courses to obtain that. how does that sound?

-someone please HELP OUT!...-I'm going for pre-nursing, Brandon University.

you should have registered for courses first before you pay your tuition fee.. and for the consent letter, I have no idea about that.. when you register for classes, the number of credit hours per Semester will decide the amount you'll pay. if it 24 credit hours, then you'll have to pay all. and besides, how much is the tuition fee?

teesboy:

Don't be too much in a hurry to re-apply take the time to assess the reasons highlighted for the refusal and work towards fixing them. i found a postgraduate program in insurance which is higher than a diploma and it took me less than a minute to find it, you can review it to see if it interest you and besides it is 8 months (1 year including holidays) as well and starts January 2016, going away from your family for 2 years when it is not a Masters degree was equally a tough sell to the VO as well especially given your years of work experience.

I'm just seeing this, thank u so much for your help; I am certainly interested and will begin application process for Jan intake

Paper route is better if you have a lot of documents. Otherwise, I don't see a difference (although online applicants claim they can better track their application progress).

Given that you have already paid tuition (for a year? a semester? or the whole program?), your brother-in-law should specify in his letter that he has paid your full tuition for the first year (or semester or whatnot) as a demonstration of his commitment to funding your degree. He would then indicate that the N4m balance is after the tuition payment. Please do attach the sponsor funds transfer receipt as proof that it was he that sent the money (you would also attach the payment receipt from the school). Also make sure the sponsor letter is comprehensive: sponsor should state exactly how much he would give you every year (e.g. "minimum of C$25,000 per year" ), possibly even detailing how or with what frequency he would make the payment; your bro-in-law should also explain exactly why he is sponsoring you given that he is not a direct family member (as in parent or sibling)... pls don't take this part lightly oh!

By the way it is difficult to know if a N4m balance would be ok given that you haven't told us how much your annual expenses are and how long you program is.

This link here from @pchax contains a sample sponsorship letter and affidavit of support. Do not copy it, just use it as a guide and adapt it to your specific situation.

For the school payment receipt: email the bursar's office or student accounts office. They should be able to give you a receipt for the payment, regardless of if it has been applied to your tuition. Such a receipt would only be proof that they received the money, this is all you need. This is what my sister did; we transferred one year's worth of total expenses and they provided a student account receipt. They definitely should be able to provide you with such document.

brother, Please, is it compulsory to pay all school fees before you apply for visa or maybe part of it? and besides, the registration of classes, can you please explain more about it to me cause I heard I have to register classes before I pay tuition fee so as to know him much the level of money am gonna pay in the fee

No it is not compulsory. Some people pay because they want to show the VO their commitment. But lots of people don't pay beforehand yet still get their visas. Those who are highly advised to pay are those previously rejected for "insufficient funds".

Hmm, about registration before paying tuition. I think it depends on the specific school. My sister's school's website states that one has to register before paying tuition, however we called the university's students account office and they said we can send any amount of money to her university student account even before registering. This is what we did. The school said that once she registers, they would apply the money to her tuition and then issue her a check for whatever balance is left of what we sent them. You should call your school's bursar or student accounts office to find out. What school are you going to?

university of Regina.. I was told by the school too that I can send any amount to my student account but it's compulsory I register for classes before the resumption date so as to know the amount am to pay every year out of the total tuition fee. the tuition fee is $16,000CAD

Oh yeah, those are two different things. You will eventually have to register for classes by the registration deadline. But this doesn't stop you from sending an estimated amount that would cover the tuition beforehand, if that's what you'd like to do.

You can easily estimate your tuition by looking at costs per course and multiply that by how many courses you would take as a full time student. Your student permit info document sent by your school will already contain the estimated annual tuition costs anyways so you may not need to estimate it yourself.

yea the tuition fee was stated in the acceptance letter- $16,000CAD

Ah! Don't do it. I understand you may be desperate, but even mentioning such on this forum is not good for Nigerian applicants, most of whom use honest documents. Also, you do know that US VOs are on Nairaland, so it isn't far fetched that Canadian VOs browse this thread to see what new tricks people are up to.

In any case, yes they do verify whenever there is doubt in which case they would definitely find out and you would be banned from Canada for probably five to ten years (which basically means ban from US and EU and other countries that share such data with each other).

If you don't have the money to pay for at least one year's tuition and living costs, then I'd recommend you figure out a way to get the money first. You will suffer in Canada if you go there empty-handed.

oh!! Thank you brother.. It just that I heard it will be preferable my direct parent should be my sponsor and their accounts should range from like 30m and above but I have an uncle who have up to that amount in his account but I don't know if it still okay if I use him and for the tuition fee, I have about 1.5m at hand now hope it not too small?
