Hello
Please exactly how long does it take to process the strident visa?
I applied to a school in Montreal so I first have to get a CAQ which takes 6 weeks. Its to be included in my student visa application so I have to do that first.
The program starts on 5th June which is like 12 weeks from now.

Boss, the funding you will.get will be sufficient for you alone for now. Although I have no idea if you are going for masters or phd, however it is advisable you go there alone first and settle down. When you are settled, you can decide to bring your family over.

I am telling you from personal experience a friend experienced in my present location (not Canada though)...

Please go alone.first if you dont have extra cash to support your family...

Peace

congrats. Is yours full funding?

Alongside Brock University, WLU, etc.These are some schools that wont pop up in typical ranking list but offer funding in research courses. Prospective applicants, please explore well and not restrict yourself to the oversaturated top-guns.

congrats. 19.2k + fees or just 19.2k?

1. 19.2k + fees = full funding.

2. 19.2k alone without 20k fees = fee Funding.

if 1, mummy this calls for a celebration .

if 2, mummy it still calls for a celebration. but ensure you have a strong account to show you can take care of room and board aka feeding and accommodation.

Hello House,
I need some kind of help and advice. I applied to Lambton in December, uploaded all my documents and was waiting for admission until I got an email from them asking me to write IELTS or apply thorough MAPLE education and avoid writing IELTS. The course I applied for was not inline with my BSc; Mass Communication but I wanted to switch careers to Cybersecurity and Computer Forensics. I had earlier attended IT trainings in India for a year and had 1 certification in CCNA with a view to writing CCNA Security, Comptia Certs and CEH later and I am certain I would do well in the Information Security field

I called Maple education and was referred to the Lambton representative who told me I needed to change the course I applied for to Mass Communication and as Lambton did not have that, I have to switch colleges.

Bearing in mind that people on Nairaland that I had the chance to talk to offline, two in actual fact did not even write IELTS, I wrote to them telling them I studied all through my primary, secondary and tertiary education in English but I keep on getting the same generic reply telling me to write and upload IELTS results. I even got my university to send them a proof of English proficiency, uploaded all my transcripts and forwarded emails from Nigerian students who got admission without writing IELTS all to no avail.

I am confused as to what to do. Should I write IELTS in a rush (the earliest date for the exam is next month and I am not even sure when the results will be out,if it wont be too late for application) or wait till January intake and apply with the IELTS? Or should I keep pestering them?

I have uploaded a screenshot of the email I keep getting

THANKS HOUSE

Have you mailed the International Admissions Office? Is IELTS or other English Language proficiency tests part of the admission requirement? Have you considered applying to other schools with similar programs?

As self sponsored and after you meet the requirement of tuition fees funds and 10,000CAD for your first year of study, you will have to show funds to cover subsequent year(s) in the form of either liquid cash or a very reliable source of income generation (your business, rental property, etc).

hi austinpee4,Ziggarrr, penitential

Are these documents all i need to get from my sponsor? Personal and business bank account, Sponsor`s International passport main page, Sponsorship letter and affidavit of support.

If he meets all the requirements of a study permit and that of going with family, he WON'T be refused.

However, Its always advisable a family person applies first and then later family members can join afterwards. This is so because the family here in nig will stand as hometies and also the financial burden of going with the entire family at once will be less.

Nevertheless, if he can show he has sufficient funds to cater for them, have other strong hometies in nig that will propel return after his study, he can apply with them.

But note, there is alot of both financial and ties burden to prove to a visa offcer when going with family members. If he is equal to the task, he can.

Good day house.

Please I need some information with regards to SOA.
For how long does SOA remain valid? For example, if I intend to apply for study permit in 3months time, can I get a bank statement now and still use it's after 3 months? For how long does SOA remain valid?

@Austinpee4 @yemdogg @penitential @Genius000 @justwise @Osemigho

Gurus, please help.

UPDATE
This query has been resolved. @Austinpee4 and @Eraytee have provided sufficient responses. No further responses are needed unless you have information sufficiently different from theirs. Attend to the the queries of others in need instead. Thanks a lot!

hi austinpee4,

@Bold, If he is the sole signatory of the business account, it's fine. Otherwise, stick to personal account.

The listed documents are also in order. You may also want to prove relationship to the sponsor if you can, but if you cannot, some level of commitment will be good too( funds transfer to your account) as the affidavit will also commit the sponsor under an oath.

No,you can't. SOA of the last 6months including the submission month or atleast one month prior to application submission. (Visa office instruction)

Thanks. I've been looking for this information. Can you please link me to where I can read more on it?
The only information I see on their website is details of how much you should have.

@bolded, is it okay to use 1 and half years?

Gurus, please help.

am sorry u cant, CIC stated your SOA must include your submission month or not less than a month prior to submission, so your 3 months is against the rule of CIC. check the study permit handbook for Nigeria for necessary info.

Yes i have repeatedly. Other schools had some enormous fees.. Others had some programming and maths courses I'm trying to avoid
I actually chose from a list of about 8 other schools before settling for Lambton

You can even decide to print from the very first day the akant felt the fresh breath of money inside it to show CIC say u don dey hammer on full time bases since 18BC!

Main thing is that the last 6 months prior to your application is shown including the submission month or atleast one month prior submission.

Here is the link to download the visa office instruction booklet IMM 5832 for more useful infomation.

Thanks @folaroyal. It's better I back out.
But what I don't understand is this. From the refusal letter from CIC, they did not check the boxes for either 2yrs or 5yrs ban. So I've been think could it be an error from the VO? Cos I don't know if I should go with d 2yrs ban or five yrs ban or better still, should I send a mail to them to know d length of the ban? Thanks

Are you sure about this mate? There is no more 2-year ban for misrepresentation. It is not a criminal offense all the time as there may be cases of innocent misrepresentations due to omissions and negligence, but I think once you are deemed inadmissible, it means that within a 5 year period, you cannot submit ANY application until the period elapses, and even subsequent appeals may no longer be of importance.
