Good afternoon NLers, please I need urgent advise on this particular issue. I have interest in studying in Canada but my setback is the sponsorship aspect of the application.

This Christmas, I was privileged to meet with a distant relative though we are different tribes. After much discussion, he agreed to be my sponsor alongside my husband. He is a director in a FG agency, has a huge business conglomerate and his family is based in USA. Will he be a good choice since we are different tribes? And how can I convince the VO about the authenticity of my claim?

Ps it's urgent I need to give him a feedback ASAP.

mamacajah:


There is no problem with using a non relative as a sponsor.Please try and read through the thread on how to do this properly. Use the search button and read up all discussions on sponsorship.

jnyuwa02:


They wouldn't know you are different tribes. Even if they knew you were different tribes, their judgements on the suitability of a sponsor wouldn't be based on tribes but level of commitment. So is there any history that this person has supported you before? What made him suddenly come out of the woodworks and want to become your sponsor? These are all things the VO would be thinking about and be prepared in the sponsor reference letter to address them.

blessedmumi:


He has been quite supportive right from my UNI days, even beyond that. Information is key because I think my sponsor must be a family member/ close relation. Thanks for clarification.

Pls reply my PM, have other personal questions I would love to ask.
#cheers.

Alright, thanks. Then I need to support it with my own statement of account, and landed property. Plus my sponsor landed property too. What do you think?

@all, please can one submits up to three statement of accounts? My personal statement of account and other two sponsor's account...?

Share ur profile let's see how we can help u..

Austinpee4:


Sorry about the outcome of your application. You'll need to relax alittle bit. Go through the emotion and cool off then we all can help you tackle your next application.

It's only human to feel disappointed but things will be fine soon. Also, you may need to get your immigration file(GCMS note). It is a more detailed report on the officer's conclusion on why your application was refused. Kindly refer to page 0 of this part to see how to order for it.

Not to worry, once you are able to get the file, it will become easier to help with the issue. Endeavour to request for it ASAP and we'll be here to help you.

Air Maroc isn't that bad after all. The only complaint is the long hours one has to stay at the Casablanca airport before departure. But we tried to make use of the kids playground at the airport. My children had something to distract them for hours.

We left our home at 11pm on the 25th December because we didn't want to take the risk of going to the airport at 2am. At 2:30 am, check in commenced and we had 10 luggage checked in..

We moved over to the lounge to wait for boarding. Caught some sleep and at 5am/5.30am, boarding started. I have 3 super active 2 year old. It was their 1st time flying as toddlers. They cried and wailed for about 3 hours to Casablanca. They couldn't be pacified. We did everything except spanking. Maybe , we should have. It was not a good experience. As babies, on our way from the US via Delta Airline, they were the most behaved babies. In fact, the flying crew gave them presents. They didn't cry at all. They simply ate and slept. But with Air Maroc, they gave my husband and I , the disgrace of our life. The crew even had the audacity to tell us to start training them well. Kai! I have suffered!

Before we left for Canada, I took them one by one to the Toilets and gave them stern warning. If they disgrace us one more time, they will certainly have it hot with me. I was done with the cries and wails. As if they listened, our 7 and half hours flight to Montreal was lit. They were well behaved. They watched some animated movies and probably, if we had that in the Lagos to Casablanca flight, they would have been calm. They ate, drank , watched movies, coloured their animated booklet and the flight was a smooth one. Phewww!

At the point of entry, we used the electronic machine to sign in and then moved to the Officer for us to be stamped in. Then , as soon as I brought out my children's Blue passports, one overzealous officer began to question how I got them! Can you imagine? Was I living in the US? How come I gave birth there with a visiting Visa? In all, I was calm because I didn't sneak into the US to use their Health Facilities. I told her I was carrying triplets and wanted the best medical care I could get. I had a visiting visa then. She interrupted me: "So, you decided to use it to give birth as of I was just visiting the US!" I said No! Before I became pregnant, I have traveled so many times to the US. When pregnancy came, I wrote the Embassy informing them of my intention to use the visa for delivery and they replied that I could go ahead and make sure I paid my bills which I did. Would that be an offense? She then kept quiet! She stamped us in and then directed us to where I would get my study permit.

While I was on the queue at Immigration point 2, an officer asked to see our passports. I gave her. She asked if the children are leaving Canada within 6 months, I said No. They are staying with me all through my studies. She sent us back to Immigration point 1 to collect another form. They should have given us the form over there. I went back but this time around, a male officer attended to us. He was the opposite of the female officer who initially attended to us. He was kind and took his time to prepare the documents for the kids. They were given study permits too that would last as long as mine. I was so much in a hurry to get our luggage that I forgot to get my Social security number or something like that. Will be getting it today or tomorrow.

At the baggage claim, we saw 9 out of our 10 luggage. We went to loge a complain but Air Maroc stand was empty. We were asked to call their number. We then moved to catch our Airport shuttle to Sherbrooke. It was about 2 and half hours journey from Montréal. It's a beautiful and calm town. Our shuttle took us to the Hotel where we are still at waiting to rent an apartment. Would be seeing one today and most likely going to rent it. A 2 bedroom fully furnished with everything from Internet to TV to everything. We just take our luggage and ourselves in. Then , we can move in comfortably. 

I also opened an account yesterday with RBC which was recommended by one of the receptionists at the hotel. They don't charge on student's account. So, I'm cool with that. I also went to the Mall to buy a Sim card. Settled with Fido because they were the only company willing to give me a Sim without my social security number . They used my Study permit Code , International Passport and Student Visa. 

For the missing luggage, ( it was the suitcase that contains our local food, my Garri, semo, ogbono, crayfish, powder pap, etc . All the flours and blended food stuffs were kept their to avoid rupture. It is an echolac suitcase) I called the number I got from the airport, was advised to go to their Facebook page to send my complaint. Which I did and an administrator took it up. I got a message from him last night asking me.to go to the airport and pick up my luggage. It was found and kept for me. 

For the missing luggage, I have had a missing luggage issue with Delta, Air France and KLM and I didn't go about thrashing them on social media. Those suitcases were eventually found and I picked them up at Lagos Airport. There's nothing wrong with Air Maroc, people just like to follow crowd and lose objectivity! Their food from Casablanca to Montreal was good too. My children enjoyed it (Fish and vegetable). The crew was nice too but can't say so with the Lagos to Casablanca crew. They were not so nice maybe they were irritated by my children's behavior but they are 2 year olds for crying out loud. One even said something nasty in French, not knowing I speak French..I told her never to repeat that in her life! She was shocked. Aside that, anyone who wishes to fly them, can go ahead. If I don't use them again, it would be because of the long wait not because of their services.
