Sorry for late response.
How much of the $65k did your sponsor committed towards your studies?
I always advise applicants (with work experience) to also include their own SOA(just to show you also saved some cash on your own towards your studies, no matter how small). Also, if the sponsor is a third party (not parents, or siblings) I advise he/she either pays your tuition fee or transfer the said amount into your personal account (to show the funds will be available when it's time to travel).
Concerning your home-tie, try to convince the VO why you will return back to Nigeria after your studies. These might be but not limited to investments, family properties, potential job after graduation in Nigeria.....
NB: Like someone said, you have to work on your sop and if possible include an LOE(letter of explanation) detailing the reasons for your previous delay and how you corrected them.
Good luck

Hi guys!I need your help
So i applied to a college in canada for practical nursing and i was given admission into COLLEGE PROGRAM so as to upgrade my biology grade
I finished high school in 2015 and I've not had any education prior to this stage because my mom fell I'll and she was off and on in hospitals and my brother opened his business and he needed someone to look after it and keep records alongside my other sibling. Tho not an official staff but i do get paid once in a month or once in two months, depending on the work load for the month
During this time.. I was also voluntary working with my uncle some days of the week in a tecahing hospital as an aide, helping the patients assiting with feeidng and mobility issues.,personal grooming etc now my mom is 100% healthy and can look after herself .my brother is ready to sponsor me back to school
..Do i need a recommendatiom from my uncle and my bro?my bros business is in no way related to nursing
How will my uncle adress the letter? My only home tie is my mom and my two brothers.
Do i need to state my mom's health issues in my SOP? Is the Gap after school is too much? Thanks ..

Who called my name? It's been a while since I contributed here. After one year of my application pending, it was finally denied. Good news is its only based on purpose of visit and GCMS stated I graduated from the University in the USA since 2006 and never attended any more school since then until now, so they are not convinced I would be a genuine student. Sincerely I expected worst. So I intend to revamp and refire addressing their concerns. I am enjoying Nigeria a lot and my new job. That is why I have not been here sorry. But promise to be returning from time to time to give free information and help. Miss you guys. This forum taught me a lot and I am glad I was able to give back and helped a lot of people here go to Canada during my time here full time so called guru

mcobex:
This can be divided into two
1.
Fund/personal asset: How much was the tuition fee, How much did you have available for your program? Are sponsoring yourself or you have a sponsor (if yes, how much did he/she commited towards your program?).
2. Hometies:
Which of your family members are in Nigeria? Do you or you family have any business or asset in Nigeria?
Answer these questions so I can give my little understanding of the situation.

Oh no dear. I mean i ₫ont have a degree yet. Just waec certificate. I just completed 20..i left high school in 2015..i was given a college program to upgrade my biology for 4 months before i can be moved to nursing
I think u need the recommendation letter from your uncle who is a doctor or medical practitioner I believe stating what he saw in you that made u choose a course in nursing..that will help u out in your sop wen u are explaining why u wana do nursing wen u already have a Bsc in biology..

Wat u need from your bro is an affidavit of sponsorship stating why he is sponsoring, how much he will commit in sponsoring u..

U don't really need to tell the VO about your mum's health issues cos they(VO) might also see that as a reason to deny u saying u should stay and take care of your mum..just try and explain wat u have been doing since u graduated(the study gap)..

If u don't have any inheritable property that will bring u back, then your mum, snr bro and 2 brothers can serve as your home ties... thats my 2cent

Was it a 2.1 or 2.2 u had in your Bsc..if it's a 2.1, den u don't need to go for a college program but rather Masters program

My Attorney General Jeremy, you alone know why I address you with such prominent title. I regret to hear about the ugly incident report of your long awaited application. Verily, During your reign was a remarkable and a notable one on this great thread. Within you was a strong desire to assist others to achieve their goals, a proper and commendable desire with reasonable promptness.

We have exchanged stupendous knowledge over the years on this reputable platform and have debated on several occasions on the account of proffering solutions to queries pasted here by prospective applicants. Merrily, what an enjoyable and delightful experience we had!. I wish you the very best in all your endeavors and in your new business adventure. Always remember you've got a family here and try in your little capacity to pay visit during your spare time.

Stay safe My Attorney General.

Regards,

@Schonebaby.


Please, I applied for Masters program for the Fall 2019 in the university of Saskatchewan, I graduated with a CGPA of 4.74 of 5.0 in my last two years and overall CGPA of 4.47 of 5.0. I have also gotten a potential supervisor with the department and I also mentioned his name in my application. And my potential supervisor is the graduate chair for the department I applied to.


Please, how certain is my admission for the Fall term and when likely will decision be made also.

jnyuwa02:


Your chances are very good of admission. But not a guaranteed because their are other students from around the world vying for the same seat. You can stand out by the strength of your essay and recommendation received on your behalf. Decisions are been made as we speak.

lonelydude:
Please, if you are interested in the SOP, kindly send me a PM so that I can respond directly through mail.


You are blessed.

vibbb:
Thanks so much, My sponsor commitment includes tuition fees and living expenses, estimated value of abt $25k.
I also included my personal saving acct statement + investment.

mcobex:
Cool, try and work on your SOP this time.
NB: Hope you have ordered for your gcms file? It is very important as well, cos it will show the real reasons why your app was delayed. @Austeenpee also suggested same

Frankrobben, the Gentleman and Revolutionary!!! We indeed exchanged stupendous knowledge over the years. I certainly thank God for your life. We went, we saw and we conquered for good and humanity. In life, the greatest acts of goodwill and benevolence are not necessary reaped by the doers, but by others. I stay confident though that God will visit us in his own timing. I stay committed to the process and engaged and will come from time to time to dole out nuggets of wisdom learnt in the real world. It has been a privilege.

Your humble Attorney firing brimstone and fire from the mountains of Plateau.

(1) The logical thing should be continuing along the banking career as a student (easy to explain and saves you the stress of justifying why you are going back to something you abandoned seven years ago). If you go via the geology route, how do you convince the VO after seven years of been away from school? I am not saying it is impossible, I am just saying it will be harder to convince the VO.

(2) Use your own account since you have been working for close to seven years and then use your wife's account or family members account as a support account. There is nothing wrong in using two accounts. I know someone who is married with kids, used his own account plus uncles account and got his visa .

(3) Yes your wife, kids, land are strong ties.

Bro you should be applying via PR route (your age seems ok). When you get your PR, the government will even give your kids money. Don't waste money trying to study as an international student. Your profile is good to go.

Greetings to everyone!
Thanks for your great work here.
Please I would like to migrate to Canada through the federal skilled workers program. Also, i was denied visa twice at the US embassy last year 2018: though I deferred my admission to fall 2019 to give it a final shot. My sponsor recently suggested that I should try Canada either for studies or their skilled migration program. I had a cgpa of 2.05/5.00 Nigeria and the in US equivalent of 2.70 WES evaluation(ICAP course by course evaluation), and a GRE score of 279, AW 3.0 respectively. Please guys do you think my score can get me admission for M.Eng program in a Canadian university? or do you advice I go for the skilled migration workers program? I started reading this thread today but I sincerely need to be guided on which part is better for me based on my profile. And hope my US visa denial won't affect my chances in either path?
Please help a brother so that I will know what to tell my sponsor.
Thanks in anticipation for your favorable response(s).

Emmyirab:

We have a similar profile.
I can help with the SOP.

Yes, I applied to UVic for PhD.

Sorry, ma'am for the refusal,
You have a very good application
First and foremost, I am glad you've already ordered for your Gcms note (that's a smart move from you)
As you wait for the Gcms to be available please check out for Oga frank post, you will see where he explained how to tackle purpose of visit.

Now, I will assure you that if you liquidate your fixed deposit account and add with your personal account...
personal assets and Financial Status will be waived
Where you have to work on is your purpose of visit
As you wait for your Gcms, please start tackling your purpose of visit poco a poco until you get the Gcms note ( then you finalize everything).
When your gcms note is ready, Please endeavor to reach me so that we will tackle it together, or rather you can post it here for peeps to help you.

You have a very good supporting documents, so I will say the expectation was kinda high from the VO, alas the closing balance is low which to me, I will say the VO was a kinda disappointed cause of the low closing balance with such huge transaction history and investment.
But I assure you. If you liquidate your fixed deposit, trust me the personal assets and financial status will be waived (you already have remarkable investments, please remove the fixed deposit)
I am not saying fixed deposit is not a good investment but it's unfortunate these VOs are more interested in seeing the liquid cash than any investment. But in your case, I will advise you to liquidate your fixed deposit.

Note: bringing out all these documents doesn't show any desperation, you brought out what you have, so don't remove anything in your next application, I will only advice you on your fixed deposit for now.

PS: this is my own opinion

When you're into business especially real estate, sometimes, low closing balance is kinda normal,
But the VOs won't see it this way


Bless you

Snillous:


Pls I will also need ur advice. I submitted my application last year July 22nd via online routine. Yet the application is still on process. 7 months a ago now but when it was Aug 2018 after some weeks I submitted. I got a call frm my bank "Stanbic" that the Canada embassy do contacted them regarding my statement of account but they have proof everything to them. So since then have been waiting for good news but nothing happen yet so I am confused. I wrote them and they sent mail back to me Jan 2nd 2019 but they said my application still on process that they will contact me once they concluded.
