how much does it cost to get a visa and the flight fee (any company) ? then how much does it cost to live a very small life (just your basic needs like food, house, etc) for a month ?

Here is where I think the red flag is, you have a bsc and MSC then you going for a diploma. The vo would want to know why you're going for something lesser and not higher. Did you write a statement of purpose to explain why you're going for a diploma despite your other qualifications?

deebsman1:

Its Jan am applying for and am also planning on paying the 1st semester tuition b4 applying. but why agents?? the charges those agents are asking is just too outrageous, imagine an agent wan collect close to 400k..........."can't somebody apply by 1 self directly??"

Don't pay any agent for what you can do yourself. Don't listen to any body advising you to pay an agent. The person advising you used an agent yet he was refused. Here in this thread we believe in doing it ourselves. NO SOLICITING FOR AGENTS. Every information you need to succeed is here. This thread is more powerful and informative than you can ever imagine.

twaintoy: done, waiting for reply.

Hello Mr. GboyegaD

Oga u really need to convince d VO wt a gud SOP, infact if i b VO,e go difficult for u to convince me o. This is purely my take o

A diploma program with all your qualifications is simply a red flag. Your agent should have told you this. This is why I hate agents. They are only interested in your money.
Your refusal was based on purpose of visit because the VO strongly feels you just want to run away from Nigeria by all means. You have not convinced him you are there to study. Imagine yourself in the VO's shoes. Would you grant visa to someone with MSc to go do diploma course mostly reserved for fresh secondary school leavers? You will need to work hard to convince the VO of your real intension here. Your best bet would be to go for MSc or even a PhD. Back it up with a good SOP and the VO will know you mean business. Going back there with your diploma admission letter would be shooting yourself in the leg.

I am applying for a post graduate diploma, just as no canadian uni is accepting a 2-2 for m.sc, age very late 20's with 2 yrs work experience, sponsored....from experience of earlier peeps here, i belief i should have a beta chance or hustling for UK normal M.sc jeje. more advice, been gbaduing peeps advice for dis place so far

cronsberg: Nigerians like making things difficult for themselves i swear. I just marvel at the comments of people in here. Everyone keeps asking what to do, how to do it, which documents to present, how to apply e.t.c e.t.c . The whole thing is very easy people. Just go to CIC website, take an eligibility test, a result will be displayed showing which documents to submit, how to submit it. Then you just gather those documents and proceed to the application proper. THATS ALL.
Forget what people tell you on NL, they make it seem like hell, they make you waste time looking for documents that the embassy didn't ask you to come with, they make you feel afraid of the whole process as if you're applying to enter heaven or something, whereas applying for a visa should be a fun and easy thing. To tell you how must people on NL don't even know the real visa application process themselves, a commenter was advising a naive individual that the visa waiting time is 2 months, when infact the wait times indicated on the CIC website(the authority involved) is max 34 days(mind you, you could even be given visa within a week or two), but people here make you so unnecessarily worried and afraid.

You want real visa application procedures and which documents to present? go to CIC.

En en!? I think u ar mistaken sir, there are some docs u will need to further proof ur eligibility dat ar nt listed on cic website. A coach is very important

Getting an MSc with 2.2 may be tough unless you opt for the course based option which is a little less stressful. Post graduate diploma is very okay. Your age doesn't matter if you are going for a higher degree like PGD, masters etc. I would advice you try applying for a course bases masters and also try for a PGD. Once you get your admission you can then apply with strong supporting documents. You will always be guided in this thread every step of the way. Good luck.

34 days in Nigeria? A week or two? For those that applied in Nigeria? *smh*

lol.. pg diploma is only for students that have completed their masters. PhD ? PhD takes forever to get admission in any country. took my gf, in india, 3 years to get her admission. Unless i do it in Nigeria. think i ll write that convincing Letter u suggested

deebsman1: hello House, pls i want to rely on this thread for information flow from the experienced gurus in-here as i want to embark on my Canada student visa application cos i don't have any money i can give to an agent, i belief i should be good going at the whole visa application and processing stuffs myself. I already have an offer from Lambton College.
I want to know what the next move should be, is it paying the initial deposit stated on the admission letter first before applying for visa or i can go all the way applying for visa b4 the payment.
And also, pls can some1 put me through the initial process of applying for the visa? pls everything from the basics, like a novice that i am
POINT TO NOTE: AM WORKING TOWARDS JANUARY

1) U dnt av to pay ur tuition fee,if lambton does nt expressly mandate u to pay
2) Its nt compulsory u use an agent but u can if u have money to throw arund
3) to start ur app, go to cic website n create a checklist by answering the eligibility questions
4) afta dat, secure all d required docs
5) get a mastercard n fund it for payment
6) apply online n pay wt ur mastercard
(seek help as ur progress o)
Goodluck

chichi89: 34 days in Nigeria? A week or two? For those that applied in Nigeria? *smh*

yeah, could be true, but can also take 3 months. BTW not less than 30 days

Yes. It depends on the visa category you are applying for though. Check the visa wait time at the lagos VAC under cic website

cronsberg:

Now I get. You should have included that (visa category) in your epistle too.

Mr Cronsberg, pls wat ar u driving at?

Having gone tru dis thread extensively, dia ar so many pple who followed dat checklist generated on cic website n were denied visa,till dey came here n were told to include SOP n dey later got dia visa, abi SOP dey ur on own checklist?

Please don't mislead anyone with the information you pasted here. Wait times for student visas differs depending on country. It appears you didn't do your research well. Nigeria has a wait time of 4 months. Perhaps the information you got was for another country. Next time, do some intensive research before pasting information you know little or nothing about.

That's what people don't get. The cic website alone isn't enough. Nairaland is useful because one can get an extensive list of docs to submit. At least I found it very helpful when I applied.

Slimdel:
Are there benefits of front page please enlighten me

Lmao.... Slimdel u so funny..... But seriously doh will like to knw as well

Use Google. Or better still go back about 5 pages on this thread you will see a link on all universities and colleges in Canada. Go through them and know which ones offers your course of choice. I think its aucc.com

Abi o my sister, i dnt knw y some pple lik wahala

okay tgank you very much i wiukd keep praying

miketayo:

I think you r good.. Keep praying though, u should get a call for med soon.

miketayo:

yeah its crazy i paid 300k for mine.. but most people that apply themselves get refusal. just to increase ur chances.they list all d docs u need online, but the embassy ll expect more than the list we see online. So agents are just to be on a safer side.
will advice u to apply before the end of October cos it takes about 2 months for your visa to be processed

U paid 300k keh?? Pls anyone looking for an agent, holla me.. Just 299k..

But on a more serious note, u really don't need an agent for visa application.. With d wealth of info available here.. All u need do is take out a nice weeknd, and read all d info frm part 4 (dnt hav to read all).. Trust me, u will get ur TRV in ur next application... Only approach agents if u knw u dnt hav d luxury of time.. And always remember darisGod.. So say ur prayers too.. All d best..

@tnuola u're very funny @ the above... shey Ph.D na by force ni... Moreso you didn't consider the hassles of getting a supervisor... Think Msc is his best bet, of course with a strong SOP.
