Good Day,


I was advised by my friend to join the blog and read up on my study permit requirement but i'm a bit lost as to where to start from to get the requisite information i need at the moment. The thread is quite long.

Just a background story: I am a law graduate and I've been called to bar for about three years.I'm currently working and I have about 18 months post nysc work experience. I'm interested in traveling to Canada for a new career path in business. However, due to the high tuition rate for MBA i opted for a diploma in Business administration. I have an online business which i have managed personally for about 2 years and has yielded lot of returns and i would like to gain more knowledge and better business skills hence my interest in Business. I applied to Lakeland college and Assiniboine community college. I have gotten a letter from both colleges. I intend to start my visa application by March but I don't want to make any mistake. Hence my long talk

Now these are my questions:
1. Due to limited funds as requested by CIC, I intend to use my employer as sponsor (which my boss has agreed to) but i'm a bit skeptical about it because i think it will be frowned out. ( A law firm sponsoring an employee for a business diploma for 2 years) doesn't look feasible to me. what do u guys think?
2.Can i please get a link to checklist of the required documents for the visa application.
3. A letter of explanation format, please do you have any?
4. Do you think it is wise to include the fact that i have an online business in my letter?
5. Do you think i should state the high tuition rate for mba has the reason for my diploma choice?
6. As regards financial support, should i use my employer or look for funds n transfer same to my mum's account and use hers instead?
7. Is the funds indicated meant to be fixed or recurring?( should there be a fixed amount or they just need to see constant flow of cash?
8. Should i go ahead and apply for my study permit with the letter of acceptance?

Thank you for taking time to read my message; i know it is quite lengthy
God Bless.

Good Day,

Now these are my questions:
1. Due to limited funds as requested by CIC, I intend to use my employer as sponsor (which my boss has agreed to) but i'm a bit skeptical about it because i think it will be frowned out. ( A law firm sponsoring an employee for a business diploma for 2 years) doesn't look feasible to me. what do u guys think?
I like that your profession allows you to answer a question even while it's still in thought..!!
No ma, this is an extreme contradiction ... as much as i am still in contest with your choice of program! My advise: You should pls get a program well in line with your UG(law) and work experience on record.

2.Can i please get a link to checklist of the required documents for the visa application.
Pls Google 'cic study permit checklist' ..although the list in not exhaustive... We will endeavor to provide additional list related to your case when you get to that stage

3. A letter of explanation format, please do you have any? I am in doubt that you will get a sample letter from anyone here as 1. No two cases are the same 2. We tend to protect member's documents from plagiarism 3. We encourage you to DIY... Do it Yourself!... Although we'll provide back-back guidance with proofreading inclusive support!

4. Do you think it is wise to include the fact that i have an online business in my letter? If it relates to your application yes you should... Otherwise it may only appear on your CV.. Which forms part of your checklist under Academics/Employment. I just feel you should strictly align your proposed plan/program with the law career path!

5. Do you think i should state the high tuition rate for mba has the reason for my diploma choice?
Haba... You want to give a VO a smooth reason for refusal??... Pls note that all through the build up of your/any visa application... The VO majorly wants to be assured that... 1. You can support your financial needs without recourse to public funds 2. That you have enough ties to make you want to return to your home country 3. And that you will not be a threat to the host country. You need to put yourself in a bright side with convincing supporting documents.

6. As regards financial support, should i use my employer or look for funds n transfer same to my mum's account and use hers instead?
Pls get a family member with your same name to sponsor your application.... Remember, no lumping of funds and never use an account that the transaction history (in & out flow... Including salaries) cannot sustain particular deposits..

7. Is the funds indicated meant to be fixed or recurring?( should there be a fixed amount or they just need to see constant flow of cash?
Both.... A good functional... Pressure free account and/or fixed funds with a history... In & out activities must convince VO that your expenses will be covered. Remember also that pension funds, liquid assets also support your funding abilities

8. Should i go ahead and apply for my study permit with the letter of acceptance?
I am in doubt..... but you may want to take a risk.... If it is worth it!!.. If i were you, i will fall in tandem with my law career and bother about your question no.8 (if i must do business related program) after i secure a study permit.

Thank you for taking time to read my message; i know it is quite lengthy
God Bless.

1. I believe we have courses like Business Law? why dont you choose that?
Well Business law for one focuses on the law aspect not the practical aspect of business, managerial and entrepreneurial aspect I'm considering. 2, it is really expensive and few schools in canada offer the course i think just 2 from my research.
2. your UG course which is Law is not related to business administration at all. the VO will fault that. Purpose of visit

3. your online business is just 2year old. Is it registered and well known to proof self.
No it isn't. Guess i have to remove it
4. Your sponsor is a third party and it will be very hard except there are proof. Again your employer has his own family, he will pay the other employee and what have you done to the company that would warrant the guy to sponsor you?
i don cancel am myself abeg

To me maybe if you can explain in details why you are opting for business admin instead of Business Law in your SOP will be okay. But Your sponsor as your employer will be hard ooooooo.

other gurus please make una talk put

penitential:

If only you can state your intending course of study, it will be helpful to guide as to what to do. As regard age, that is not a problem on your side provided there is no any academic gap of idleness.
As regard scholarship, you have a very good chance of getting if not full, at least half(depending on your course and area of specialization. Also you must be going for research base masters to be entitle to study grant)

wealth360:


to the following questions to my own knowledge sha.
1. your Age is cool.....30years and above are okay for Masters and PHd
2. Sure Scholarship jaburata for Universities in canada. Just choose your course of study and liaise with your Dept Graduate Coordinator or the School you choose might just give you scholarship automatically.
3. Check MUN, UniV, Usask..... and hope by nextyear you will have had $30000Cad in your Account as Self sponsor.
Matt 7:7>>>>Guys will answer you.

michV:
go to my profile in one of my previous posts,pick my email address and mail me so that i can give you a secretive logic which i can't be allowed to point publicly

nairalandnewbie:

Thank you for your reply Sir.
As regards it not being a progression course, the college actually states it as such.
Do you think it is immaterial still?

Austinpee4:

Don't dash them your naira again with this program! If you keep trying with it, you will pay the other half of your tuition as processing fees to CIC accra office.

Endeavour to get a master admission in the field you've had more activities in.

na wa na real wa!!!! to me you showed enough commitment to being a genuine student. what i noticed about these VOs on pgd/pgc applicants is that, once either of your prev edu or present work experience is not inline, purpose of visit bcoms auto for them to thick, #deepestsigh. the bolded above is the only thing i see that doesnt connect well with ur prev education. the funny thing now is that if u choose mech engr pgd, they might fault it too cox its not inline with ur work experience.

pls house i want to know if carleton university requires the use of supervisors for their masters of engineering program in mechanical engineering. ive been searching all day and ive come up empty. i just wanna know if the admission process would require me to contact supervisors. Thanks all

Cc:osemigho, yemdogg and all gurus

justwise:


1. Not a good idea because it's not feasible

4. Nothing wrong with this as it shows source of income.

5. Not a good idea

6. Use a finance with a traceable source.

7. It doesn't matter

7. Is the funds indicated meant to be fixed or recurring?( should there be a fixed amount or they just need to see constant flow of cash?

elampiro:


Thank you. It doesn't have to be masters in Accounting. I will take Economics or related field. I have 2.1 from my B. SC. I did microecomics and macroeconomics in 200L with very good grades in them. So if there is a school to suggest for me, I will appreciate.

However I will still go ahead to google as you suggested.

If the guy can do it.....No qualms nah. as long as the fees is paid on your behalf...I mean in your NAME. go ahead joor
