He informed me not too long that my application has been approved for medical but I v to get a bank draft of 10,000 Canadian dollar in my name and school's name for them to know that I have living expenses for my first year in Canada.
Pls can somebody explain wat dis clause/criteria means
And when do I need to fulfil dis criteria bfre or after medicals.
Pls I need urgent response ASAP

samjumbo:


Please can I get your agent number or company name. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee

Eraytee:

I'll not say you should not use an agent but just be very careful, don't be carried away by the medical request gotten by that moniker Bcox he/she used an agent. I believe you have read people's experience with this agents. A word they say is enough for the wise.

VeecThorr:
Please help me out, I've got a couple of questions:
1. What should a minor include in his statement of purpose? Or what should the statement of purpose of a minor, who only recently graduated high school look like?
2. Are minors required to provide a police record?
3. Are Visa application processing time of minors accelerated?
Thanks!

oluwaCanny:


1. There is nothing like a separate statement of purpose for a minor. You can get a sample of a SoP on google to be used as a guide. Also, note that SoP is not a must.
2. No if you are below 18 years old
3. No special treatment for minors regarding processing times (this one got me laughing )

All the best

EJIZY:
Hi people, I just stumbled on this thread,please I would like to get some clarification. I got admited for an MBA at the university of New Brunswick....pls Hw can I begin my application because am already scared that am behind time. School resumes in September.
Your swift assistance will be highly appreciated.

Emmane:
Hello Guys...

An agent told me I need a Self Introduction Letter as well as SOP on my list. Is it crucial to include a Self Introduction Letter? If YES, what is it all about.

2ndly, the paper route and the online route, which is better and faster?

3rdly, if there's no payment of school fees, but the SOA shows sufficient funds, would it reduce the possibility rate of getting a study permit?

A prompt response is anticipated.


Thanks guys.

Emmane:
Just now.... 12/05/2017

Folumade1:


i am Folumade1

a silent follower of this thread, applied via the online route in January was delayed in March

reason: purpose of visits and family ties{ i personally think Paper route is the best as it gives the VO who i assume will be busy going through more than a 1000 application ample opportunity to view your applications on a first hand basis} this is more important as i learnt that even the docs submitted online will have to be printed out to be reviewed so shy not just take it to VFS and endure the shit those ones too will show you from the security who sells special numbers to the VFS officials wey go bone as if una they fight.

Moreoso, i applied for a PGC programme as i have a 2.2 B.sc and i was told MBA was impossible for a 2.2. so there was this arguments that PGC are usually delayed this might actually be true o guys. Coz i ensured i crossed all my T's and dot my I's so Family ties for where when my kids-wife-siblings birth certificates where scanned alongside.

Of course i personally have a friend who is in Canada now and has a PR that was granted 4 years ago on a PGC admission. but i guess the world keeps changing and the odds have changed.

oh, of course i am not discouraged neither are my desperate these are two factors or things i would like us all to be wary of i understand Nigeria is hard for some (my case is different though with all sense of humility) but let's just keep calm me i think VO's are humans and some of them have once in a while bias and skoin skoin, my prayer is ours meet someone with the right frame of mind.

of course earlier when i applied online i already passed Medicals as i did upfront so what i just did now was attach the so that they are BIASED as far as PGC is concerned i think so, yet i am not discouraged and neither do i want anyone to be .

Peeps i have re-applied and i am positive i will be given ( LIFE AND DEATH in the tongue) so to all TRV hopefuls be calm, ensure your SOP is well detailed and in sections with clear headings and above all say it in God's hearing Once and go back to your normal life believing that God's will for us is better than what we could imagine. Believe me i have been there i was always checking my online account every day concerned etc.

Oh i have a wonderful school Humber institute of Technology whom i explained to when my visa was still in process and i explained to them i will like to defer to September, 2017 and they assisted immediately with a new admission letter.

So having said that Guys keep hope alive and please avoid desperation

Best wishes as we both await our TRV which hopefully will be very speedy

yemdogg:


The problem is largely due to the fact that the VO doesn't see him as a genuine student. Haba you just joined your friend in business and you even went as far as providing evidence of the existence of the business and all of all sudden, you drifted away from the business and decided to pursue a Master’s degree. I might be inclined to align my thoughts on this with that of the VO. Your business according to you is a growing concern, ordinarily, an average man would at this point when his business is gathering momentum be inclined to focus more on his business rather than pursuing an academic exercise. If you're doing otherwise, then something is fishy, and the VO might have been confused as to your agenda in Canada. What is even more is that you could have pursued the program in Nigeria where you could easily monitor your business growth. In short your agenda is unclear to the VO and from my little experience about Canadian Study permit, these VOS loves clarity and anything slightly unclear to them will most likely be resolved against the applicant.

Now below are what the VO must have thought about you:

He didn't believe that your business is a growing concern as you've painted it to be, otherwise, why would you want to pursue an academic exercise at this point when your business is gathering momentum? Am sure you must have stated in your application form that your current activity is business, flowing from this, anything you do should have been business inclined. Infact, in this regard or context, a pgc or diploma in business would have been more sellable than a M.eng. At least it's quite related to your current activity. The funny thing is that you must have overwhelmingly talked about your business in an attempt to use it as hometie not being conscious of the lack of relationship it has with your proposed program.

My advise, if you intend to scale through, omit the business in your next application. At best, you can just mention your position in the firm or company perhaps as an engineering consultant. But the moment you state that you're a partner in the business, then a VO may find it hard to comprehend the relevance of your M.eng degree to your career in Business. As far as the VO is concerned now, you're a confused person who doesn't know what he wants ultimately. When it comes to study permit, you must choose a career path and stick by it no matter what. You have the duty to be consistent throughout your application.

@Austipee4, I read your recommendation and that of @MichV, They're quite compelling, I sincerely hope @willyboss takes the hint.

Pls take this hint.

CC @willyboss

willyboss:
My fear/concern is; will the VO not review my previous application and notice I filled in business before and that I was a partner in the business?

MrSmith9513:
How are you tackling this, can we reason together on this. Pls send me a mail at olumide9513@gmail.com

CanadianNurse:
haven't you thought about people that go there and runaway... The Don't go to the school they applied for... They enter Street and start committing fraud and other crimes to survive in the name of hustle? That is what they are trying to curb! They want to make sure you are a genuine student

cheapphones:

Seeing that going thru ee isn't a guarantee for job, I think someone going tru ee is even more likely to go and enter street and commit fraud, and all that.

Smartlawyer:
.........Perhaps Osemigho can now add me to the list of TRV Hopefuls.
