Try to build both but more importantly your PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNT. But make sure you submit both SOA and company papers(it doesn't really matter how small the money in your company account is as long as the personal is enough to cover your studies)....also you won't have to make many explanations if your personal accountis more healthy than that of your company

Bro, you do not need to bother yourself over this. You will sure get a notification for biometrics. Biometrics request doesn't have a hard and fast rule on the timeline for sending it. Keep your cool. Besides, you can only send such message after there processing time has elapsed. ie. After 9 weeks. I hope this helps.

DereI:


No!
Highly unadvisable!!!

Bank accounts are vetted, believe it or not.

My question still remain that can I work for a company and still own my own personal company does it stand lorgical in eyes of VO

DereI:


My thoughts too. There are lot of people here going through the study route who are eligible for the Express entry program. I was once pursuing this route between the Part 9-12 of this thread until I realised my eligibility for express entry, thanks to @Wealth360 and @Austinpee.

So before you settle for less, try reaching for more.

There's an express entry thread here on nairaland. Goodluck

Good Morning house and DOUBLE TWALE to our Honourable GURUS for their insurmountable contribution.

PLEASE IS 5 PAGES SOP NOT TOO MUCH FOR THE VO? HOWEVER, I AM THINKING OF EXTRACTING SOME INFO TO FORM MY LOE SO I CAN EMPHASISE MORE ON THE REASON FOR MY TRV REFUSAL. ALSO, PLEASE IS THERE ANY FORMAT FOR LOE AND IF YES WILL NEED A TEMPLATE FOR TRV LOE.

THANKS

DereI:


Please try to limit the use of caplocks while typing. I do not see why you'd want to subdue a VO to the torture of a 5pages SOP. I wonder the number of documents that would follow. 50copies? 100?

goingforward:


Hello @Joe @Dere1,

I don't think anyone should be in a position to advise on the number of pages for an LOE or SOP.
The reason is because you do not know what content or information that the person has put in there. U may want to ask first before outrightly saying that it would bore the visa officer. U may want to ask to help read his or her SOP or LOE then better advice. So that the person does not reduce the information that may just be what the VO needs to see,

I have read on several forums and blogs outside of Nairaland, where people have said that its always better to provide more information than required if space can contain it, than providing less information.

No one here is a visa officer and you do not know what extra information they look out for which may be the icing on the cake and the additional reason for approving your application.

Please follow your heart play the devil's advocate on your application. Ask yourself this. Are all the information that I have placed there relevant and important. Are the information I have placed in there strong career or professional points or reasons for my study in Canada?

You also don't want to get a refusal and be left with the guilt that you would have added this or added that.

Then follow your heart on the number of pages.

There is no 1 size that fits all, please always know this. There is also no visa officer here on Nairaland. We are all just second guessing and leveraging on past knowledge and information based on trends of approvals or refusals.

goingforward.

Frankrobbn1:

pemilabelle,

First, in your next reapplication endeavour to fill up the 10years employment history section on your IMM1294E, because the visa officer thought you intentionally decided not to fill the space up, just to conceal vital informations from them. Additionally, the Visa officer is unclear about your motivation to study your proposed program in Canada and also the benefit of undertaking such a program in Canada i.e the career prospects, chances of getting employment after studies etc.. are into questioning by the visa officer.

In your next application, try everything humanly possible to draft a rational letter of explanation stating your genuine intent to pursue your intended program, your future aspirations/career goals and prospects in Nigeria should be detailed.

All the best!

Thank you all for the Congratulations guys. Just returned from VFS. Submitted my passport and paid for delivery (8,060 NGN) via courier as I'll most likely not be available to go pick it up in the near term.

Up Next:

Opening a bank account with RBC (convo initiated with the bank)
Flight bookings (to Ontario _{for the renewal of my passport} then to Nova Scotia)
Accommodations (partly sorted)

Better days ahead for all.

Jewel80:

Following the advice given by goingforward and a couple other people.

Try to put yourself in the shoes of the VO that probably has a dozen of applications to go through. In as much as you want to be detailed and through, i see no reason my your SOP should be five pages long. See your SOP as your resume or even LinkedIn profile.

Let it highlight your strong points.

Using my brother's application as an example, the SOP for the first two applications were very detailed and about 3 pages, yet he got denied. The last application had a 1 page SOP, was very brief and to the point. This doesn't mean all SOPs have to be brief, other pple have gotten approved with longer.

Given that you are also including LOE, try to paraphrase and reduce the length as u also dont want to over explain and come across like you are hiding anything

Dolzz:

Congrats!

Got a passport request email yesterday. I'm wondering, how long did it take to submit your passport at VFS?

It is advisable you leave it there if u can. Although in my case, i drew down on the money in one of the accounts i submitted during my brother's application, but about 70% of the funds in investments and the other accounts were intact. Yet he still got approved

This does not mean the funds were vetted or not, or mayb they decided that the 70% was still enough

Okay, I apologize to @Joe.

@Joe, try to reduce your sop. I'm only putting myself in the shoes of the VO and not claiming to be one.

I wish you the best.
