Hi...go to the British council in Lagos ...it's close to the muson center...I stand to be corrected...or just Google the address...ask them questions. I would advice u to do IELTS..it's easy..and there are loads of materials online...u could even purchase materials from the British council. Be advised ..Take the academic version of the test NOT the general...it cost between 38 to 40 k Naira...when filling Ur application for the test...include UAF as one of the bodies ull like to send Ur results to.. u can take the test between now and november..the result comes out approximately two weeks later and is valid for two years....cheers

billydragon:
guys, it seems we have to do the SIP insurance programme that uef mailed us oo. jus got this email frm d admission office......




You can use the electronic admission to start the visa procedure. I hope the scan will be sufficient. Anyhow, you will also receive a paper version of the admission by regular mail.



Please send the paper version of the confirmation form to the admissions (the address is mentioned on the Confirmation form). They would like to keep a track of the documents. The scanned copy can be sent only to me.



SIP is highly recommended for our international students and we would like you to purchase one.

"highly recommended" "we would like" : looks like a form of appeal. not compulsory

If u can not sufficiently prove where the money came from...na kerosine una wan take do wine.....when a white man says sufficiently prove....be careful...
Another thing the vo will look at is Ur capability to sponsor urself the following year.......remember u r not allowed to depend on work from the vo's point of.View
if Ur company will not provide u with a paid leave letter...please involve Ur family members in the way I described in my other post....

Also note...it is important to include an sop in Ur application..it is not neccessary..but significant....sometimes Ur document might not follow a chronological order and the Vo may overlook certain documents...Ur sop may simply detail the documents uv attached and it's purpose..for example ..U use two bank statements....the vo might simply take a look at one and simply conclude u do not have enuf funds.....Ur sop can make the vo aware that u r using two bank statements from different banks....dumb analogy...I know ..but consider it from a broader perspective

I concur with what u re saying abt money. But sop,what is d meaning?

ooluseyipa:

Statement of purpose or better still for this case let's call it letter of explanation

@anthocie, I agree to what you're saying. But, I got 6 guys up there man and have literally interviewed them on how they went on about their RP. Also, some of our bosses here have shared their experiences as well. The SOP is a good idea, but this finnish peeps are not like their usa/canada counterparts, I believe. So if anyone wants to include it, you can.

Ur a right...remember I said important but not necessary....anyways..God go crown all our efforts....sop or no loe..once God says ull be given..nothing can go against it....it is well

yes man. make we all dy pray.

sirkezman:
Congrats to those offered admission and better luck next time to the rest. As you prepare your RP application, make sure all your documents are valid and if there is any problem with your waec result, recfity it before applying. a friend was denied last year because of age issues. Also if you are using a sponsor, make sure the sponsor has enough funds, and if he or she is not your parent, make sure there is a genuine believable reason for the sponsorship. Lastly, your RP comes with a starting and ending date, so when applying, put the earliest date you want to enter finland. In my own case, i put sept 1st, so even tho my RP came out in the third week of August, I couldnt leave till 2nd september. This is the lil i can remember for now. i'll add some others if/when i remember

Eehhm! BOSS! thank you so much for this, it's very informative. I think am more concern about that WAEC certificate thing, I may have issues with that, I have changed the way my name was spelt drastically from what it's on my WAEC certificate and I have even added a middle name to my name after I have written my WAEC, also there is an error of day and month of birth on my WAEC certificate. PLEASE HOW DO I RECTIFY THOSE? Bosses in the house please anyone can help...

Goskian abeg can one of you create a whatsapp group and add us so that discussions on this would move faster? i got admitted to study in UEF. please can you tell me the steps or how to go about this AIICO or mutual insurance? which of the available options do i chose? the Student Insurance Programme (SIP) UEF sent me is kind of costly>

Ok we will work on that. I prefer AIICO. Google AIICO contact us and call the office nearest to you, or visit any of their offices straight with N31,500 and the data page of your int'l passport.

@Olabode89, How far have received from LUT today?

Abeg guys....I just got a mail from tampere with my conditional letter of acceptance. in the letter I was asked to use it for my visa application that there was no need to wait for the unconditional letter as the Finnish embassy has been notified of the conditional offer.....any one with such a mail or similar circumstance

You can use the conditional letter of acceptance for your RP application but you will need to attach a copy of the email sent to you by the school.
