Thank you very much Bros. Seunlovesa. I will check it out now.

hello people. Very informative thread. Welldone to all the contributors. Please what range should an account balance be for sponsoring a family member if I am on a full scholarship. Answers are very much appreciated Thank u.

@fhemmmy thanks for your response. Its a phd and I don't want to leave my wife behind though she isn't keen on going. I don't want to hear stories. So how much should be the minimum in my account as I am fully sponsored.? Thank u.

@fhemmmy. Thanks bro. I was thinking that since my office has given me leave with pay its a sign that i am coming home. I want to return anyway. Also, I assumed that since I have funding for rent,feeding, misc etc my account balance will be soley for her upkeep.

I will advice you hold on.....Dont think you have to create "another reason " for the V.O to look into your application closely...Provided your statement of acct is okay..... I will advice you chill.As regards your submission date....dont think its anything to fret about yet..as we are quite a number that applied around that time and yet to get a response....I applied on 7th too.

Thought I should share this tips with my brothers/sisters and hope it comes handy

1. Be prepared to hit the rock bottom, yes I know you have a job, furniture, houses, cars back in Nigeria but no one really cares right now. Be prepared to start again from ground zero
2. If you have a very close family tie to Nigeria and especially if its marriage or child(ren), be prepared to miss them greatly. Skype and Google hangout would be your best friend
3. Be prepared for eventualities with that your Nigeria based girlfriend/boyfriend because love would wax cold and attentions would shift. You must talk things over before you leave and decide on your relationship survival strategy well in advance. But please, don't leave that Niaja babe/guy hanging.
4. Resist the temptation of spending too much money in your first few weeks. Take your time and consult widely.
5. Information mostly circulates within communities. The top visible immigrants are the Chinese, Indians, Iranians & Pakistanis hence you need to identify your own and straighten your support system.
6. You would be pissed with the taxes (13% in Ontario, meaning if you cut your hair, you pay $18 + 2.34 HST). Live with it.
7. Language/Accent could be a barrier at first but that would normalize with time.
8. Avoid convenience stores (A store with extended opening hours and in a convenient location, stocking a limited range of household goods and groceries) if you can, because of the extra markup on prices, use large stores like Walmart, No frills, Food basics(my favorite), Freshco instead. Also look out for generic brands [consumer products (often supermarket goods) are distinguished by the absence of a brand name]. They are generally cheaper and equal in quality with branded products. I have attached a few of them
9. Now, you would find Google Map a very important utility. You could equally install other bus routes applications on your smart phone. Checking weather forecast could also be as important as checking your mails sometimes.
10. Consult widely before you acquire any long to medium term subscriptions such as phone line, internet & TV
11. Do a per term based accommodation lease (4 months), so you could easily move on if you must, but in many cases, you might just have to make do with a year lease because of availability. In any case, consult widely
12. You do not have to come with all the items you need. Good & affordable clothen can be purchased at Walmart or Old navy, but please come with your African attires, you would stand out in weddings and religious gatherings. Garri is a "must bring" but dairy products are a no-no including Gala. Sorry Fhemmmy. Check http://www.beaware.gc.ca/english/brirape.shtml for details
13. Try to organize the return leg of your flight against the next summer break, you just might find it useful, who knows
14. Finalize your airport-to-destination trip before you arrive in Canada and do have a few USD/CAD with you as backup.
15. The first semester is often the most difficult because you are going to be adjusting to lots of new things at this time. Meet your TAs and Profs if you are experiencing any academic difficulty cos they are mostly willing to help.
16. Attend Job Fairs even if you are not yet qualified. It is often an excellent way to test the waters
17. Have a open mind and eyes
18. Thread on the path of the law. There is no "I beg sir"
19. Use your social skills to your advantage and don't limit your scope
20. Credit Card is good and bad. The burden is on you to spot the difference
21. Now is not the time to relegate your maker to the backstage. Give Him the center stage

Just like any landlord would be happy with a tenant that beautifies and enhances the house. I believe God's blessing is on the nation for the good job they have done on their landscape. Welcome to Canada

@fhemmmy thanks man.

Not compulsory though these days the mail comes oftentimes ahead. Have you checked your mail box as well as your SPAM Box? Perhaps it came earlier sef but dropped in your spam mailbox

@bumdish, that was on point....many thanks!
