How much is your tuition fees and how much was your sponsor's SOA?

MY tuition fee is 8,800CAD and my sponsor being my maternal uncle has 700k as a closing balance, with a inflow and outflow of 93million.

fiendishghoul:


Sorry, but I believe the bone of contention here is if it's possible to apply for a study permit 'WITHIN' Canada. Someone here said it was impossible, and you'll have to go back to ur country to do that,

someone whose study permit expires before the completion of his studies maybe due to passport expiration is allowed to APPLY FOR EXTENSION OF STUDY PERMIT FROM WITHIN CANADA that's what I meant

princeadedayo:


If your course is less than 6 months, you don't need a study visa or u won't be given a study visa. A visit visa would be used instead.

but pgd is not 6months na

The closing balance was way too small bro. I think it should be in millions

Well, I had a conditional acceptance letter into ESL (English as a Second language) program which runs for 12 weeks, which was attached to my undergraduate Acceptance letter indicating that after my completion of ESL program, I can now enroll with my degree program in the school.

Area of study wasn't specified, but in my SOP I explained to them that after my ESL program, I will enroll into my undergraduate degree program in computer sciences which is the faculty of science i was accepted by the school.

I also attached that I have work in a company as a system Administrator and together with my 6 months diploma certificate award in desktop publishing, which I used to gain a job after my secondary school education.

CanadianNurse:

Yes true, some certificate courses are below 6 months or like an ESL programme that is short. So basically if you are coming for PGD or Masters or Diploma or advanced diploma u need a study permit.

manlikegb:





@PureRuby, you mentioned above that you had a low 2.2GPA and got admitted into MSc, please can you specify the grade? I'm asking because I have 2.2lower and I'm weighing my chances for an MSc program.

Lastly, I sincerely pray that God will make a way for you concerning the tuition request by CIC. You're almost there Sis. Try your human best and God will work the rest. AMEN.

I made 3.3/7 at university of Ibadan.

Bro! A week before my SPONSPOR printed his SOA his closing balance was 13Miliion. Can i ask him to use a huge sum to close his balance, since his inflow and outflow was superb.?

Bro, the bold is actually the issue with your application. You know, going from an english speaking country to study english in canada(even prior to your program) may not be acceptable by most visa officers. They would rather expect that if indeed you need to improve your english, attempt TOEFL(test of english as a foreign language), IELTS(International english language testing system) to fulfill the condition of your program before you begin the undergraduate you eventually want to pursue.

So it will be imperative that you put this at the back of your mind in your next attempt. See if you can fulfill the english condition of your program and get direct admission into the program before you reapply. They will not believe you want to study genuinely going through the ESL no matter the duration. Your english can be improved here in nigeria through the test i mentioned to give you direct admission.
So please, attempt it from here, fulfill your condition and get your admission before you apply again.

Regards.

Pls house what's the difference between study permit and trv
My sch said I shud not pay fees until I get study permit
Can I use the email attached to apply for visa or resend a new email to the grad coordinator to ask if I shud not pay tuition fees until I get the trv

What is the name of the school?

imoriafe:
austinepee4 u too much. thanks for the explicit response. but wat if i want to pursue a career in IT.. and also i want to use my uncle as my sponsor.though we dont have the same surname. how go about both

What is actually your job role in the bank you work?

If it's IT related, then you have a chance. You only need to prove to them that your next position/role as an IT expert will require advanced knowledge and skills hence your intent of obtaining an advance degree to further hone your skill set.

Your uncle will have to give you the funds for your program and living expenses for the first year and also swear an affidavit of support so you are covered for the second year. He will also state why he decided to expend the huge funds for your study.

From ur profile I will advise u apply directly for ur undergraduate program instead of going through another English language course to get admitted. Nigeria is an English speaking country so u don't need any "pre-undergraduate English " course to get undergraduate admission. Just get a letter from ur secondary school stating u were taught in English language when u schooled there and u will be good to go. When I applied to MUN I was asked about proof of English language and all I did was go to my polytechnic to get a letter to that effect and thank God I got the admission. NB: Go to ur secondary school, get the letter and send it to MUN using ur secondary school's name as the sender

Please my gurus. I applied for my Visa on 18th may, 2017. No upfront medical. But got a mail on 5th July to go ahead for my medical which I did on 7th July, 2017. Please do I need to mail the document given to me by the Hospital to the embassy or what do I do with the document?

More so, I need your advice on request made by cic on Thursday to show evidence of school fee payment plus living expenses after indicating that I am scholarship from Nigeria with my award letter attached, plus two Co sponsor having 11 Million and 5million naira respectively in their account. Attached is the image of the request made by the cic. Kindly advice me.

Thanks.

Pls which route did you use?

well said, MUN is one of the schools that aren't too strict when it comes to English language(when Nigeria is concern). I got my admission there without toefl, all he need do is get a letter from his secondary school stating he was taught in English Language during his secondary school days and MUN will accept it. Thank God he is going for an undergraduate program

High turnover in one's account shows the person account is very active. However you must have a closing balance that can cover your tution and living expenses and a little something more. If you have to stop the statement with a closing balance, feel free to do so. Visa Officers want you to SHOW HIM THE MONEY. Provided it's not more than 1 month before your application.

Good Luck

Hi to all admins,

What program are you going for? How many years is the program? what is the name of the university?

Masters degree bro, 2yrs, Concordia University.

This week is gonna be filled with goodnews....I can feel it......

fiendishghoul:


I doubt this is true, there are some people here that applied from other countries, e.g. Maziude, judebebo etc

These people you mentioned above didn't apply for their study permit in Canada and more importantly not on a visit visa. They had legal residence(student visa) in the country they applied from. The person I replied wants to convert a Canadian visit visa to a study visa from inside canada.

Cscd1234:
@dere1 but international students can only work for 20 hours a week. Has that somehow changed? How is your friend working 5 hours daily from Mondays to Saturdays?

No it still remains 20hours weekly.

I only shared a friend's experience.....to answer a question. And i am so glad I did. Ive learnt a lot from people's comments and i'm now enlightened about this issue.

I did not know that it might have a later effect on the PGWP application..

Is that possible? I'm not sure it is. To extend a visit visa, yes....but conversion of visa? I highly doubt.

Do you prefer unfurnished? Why? I believe furnished apartments is like an already made.... You just move in with your bags and settle in.

Are you in Canada already?

DereI:


Do you prefer unfurnished? Why? I believe furnished apartments is like an already made.... You just move in with your bags and settle in.

Are you in Canada already?

Yeah. Decided to do unfurnished because I don't know who used the furniture before. Especially the bed and mattress plus i heard that there are lots of bed bugs and those kinda stuff in some apartment in Halifax I'll rather just get new furniture that i can trust.
Going to Canada next month.

WHAT! AUSTINEEPEE4.

Bro do you mean I have to start afresh and register a new IELTS exam inorder to get a direct admission? That's kinda very stressful seriously, sitting for another exam.

Does it that implies that was the REASON FOR PURPOSE OF VISIT?
