Good evening all,
Thank you for all the helpful info posted here so far.

Does someone with a scholarship to a Canadian university still need to upload a bank statement/ statement of account? Please your valuable advice will be appreciated.

Even if your scholarship covers your living cost and feeding, you still need to show bank statement

orjohn24:



Oga, only discuss what you're certain about. If you're on a full scholarship covering living expenses (as many scholarships only cover partial costs), and you're fortunate to secure a fully funded scholarship, proof of funds isn't necessary. Simply present evidence of the scholarship, especially if it's a departmental one; your admission letter serves as confirmation. I'm acquainted with numerous scholarship students in Canada who didn't need to show proof of funds when fully funded!

Sometimes, you won’t receive your funds immediately you arrive. It could take a month or two months. Some of these VOs know this. It would be wise to show proof of independence even with a scholarship, to some extent. I know fully funded scholars who were rejected on the basis of insufficient funds.

Thanks for your input,

I have travel to Malaysia, Kenya, Ghana, Pakistan and Sri-lanka in the last ten years. and i am not desperate, i don't intend to apply immediate, i just want to get insight for my error in case i want to apply in the nearest future.

slimmsyyetty:
In my own little understanding....."Insufficient evidence of employment/activity income..."

1) When did you register your CAC as self employed? How old is your company?
2) Is your company still active on CAC database if the VO search online? Because if it shows INACTIVE, that could raise a redflag
3) Did you submit your Tax clearance? Mind you, your tax returns must be equivalent to the amount you claim to earn annually OR Did you submit your CAC recent annual returns certificate of at least two years ( 2022 and 2023) to show your business is active and running. They prefer tenderable documents of your business running than pictures alone.... which is TAX OR RETURNS.

And when next you apply, let your spouse write a letter of consent that she is aware you are traveling to Canada on a SHORT STAY, at the same time assuring them of your return.

If your wife is working and earning well, you may include her work ID and payslips (notarized copies) to further strengthen your financial tie.

Best of luck in your next application

Thanks for your input

1. i register my CAC March 2020 and the business is less than 4 year old
2. CAC is Active because i pay my annual return yearly.
3. I submitted Tax Clearance issue by State Government (i pay my tax to state government) for 2021, 2022, and 2023
4. My Wife is self employed she owned a tailoring outfit.

Hello everyone,pls is there anyone that applied october 2023 and has gotten response pls share?

NuCypher:


Your profile is very, very consistent with people who leave with a visit visa and never return. Your economic ties are certainly not strong. What's the nature of your self-employment exactly? What says you can't stay back in Canada and have someone else be running your business back in Nigeria? What exactly necessitates your coming back to your own business? Because it looks like if you left, that business can still survive. Hence, no real economic ties.

slimmsyyetty:
In my own little opinion, regardless of the nature of his business as a self employed applicant after submitting all evidences, I believe someone of his type without a strong economic tie (like investments, fixed assets e.t.c.) may have a chance if he could utilize his family tie (wife and kids) with his wife's proof of income( like work ID and payslips). If the spouse has a very good and stable job and earns well, coupled with a letter of consent from the spouse, the application may fly for approval i.e if the "HIDDEN REASON" for his refusals isn't on his Pakistan travel history. There are some countries that are high risk to western embassies like Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq, e.t.c and I don't know if Pakistan is inclusive.

Again, on another side, 9 million may be low as POF as a family man (I am just raising another concern). You have a wife and kids. The VO doesn't know what your spouse is doing so the cost of your family's wellbeing is assumed on the 9m. Cost of ticket is almost 3m which makes you have 6m left. Your hotel booking (we don't know the number of days to spend in Canada that was indicated), cost of food and other miscellaneous expenses in Canada will make it totalled over 5M+....you want to spend these on visit when your personal business isn't that elaborate and you also have a family. That is why I do advice those applying as a self employed applicant with "I patch it business documents" to not indicate more than 7 days of stay in Canada if going as a tourist, except your business is grounded and elaborate and you have proof to back it up, of course.

Above all, GRACE matters. Shalom!!!
