Hello gurus in the house.
Good day

Still on the Visa process, I have some few questions to ask

1) My sponsor is a Paternal Uncle of mine the same town but not the same village. My DAD and my Sponsor are cousins, their parents are siblings, how can i draw a family tree to prove this and on which document will i do this?

2) My sponsor has not in any way before transferred any funds to me. He is about to pay my First year tuition fee from his account, Is this a red flag

3) And what documents will i ask from my sponsor to show and convince the VO that he wants to sponsor me?

4) And what visa route will you I used during my Visa application to fast track the process, Paper or Online route.

5) A friend in Canada is advising me to apply to university get an Undergraduate admit, that the likelihood of getting visa approval is high with a university than my admit from Post graduate Diploma in George Brown College(GBC). I could not apply for a direct masters because of my low cgpa 2.2 (3.24/5), So i applied to GBC and got admitted and now this advice from my friend is getting me confuse. Please help a brother here.

Good morning Mr. Frank, similar situation here, dad plans to sponsor ,last child and presently his only beneficiary,and we intend to use his business account were is he's the sole signatory to the account, trying to raise funds to be in the range of 12 to 15m between now and May when I would apply, in your opinion, would this suffice as proof of funds?

Since you're using a company sponsorship as primary proof of support, I would suggest you get them to pay part of your tuition fee and transfer the living expenses to your account. This will solve the issue of funds accessibility and availability that might be raised by the visa officer.

Best of luck

Hi Amahjosh,

In respect to your questions, please find the following answers below:

1-) You have to draw a family tree that will encapsulate how your father and his cousin (uncle) is related. First, you have to start by demonstrating the relationship between your grandfather and your (sponsor's) grandfather with the rest of the family members down to your generation. See attached at the last page of this post a copy of a family tree you can use it as guide when constructing yours. While doing this, try as much as you can to establish a strong proof of relationship between you and your sponsor, by including your father's age declaration, int'l passport bio data page and sponsor int'l passport bio data page.

2-) Having your sponsor to pay for your tuition fees from his account isn't a red flag to your visa application rather it gives a practical exhibition that funds will be accessible and available to you the principal applicant. It further goes a long way to show your sponsor (uncle) financial commitment, genuineness and eagerness to finance your study in Canada.

3-) These are the list of DOCUMENTS you need from your sponsor (uncle).

4-) BREAK DOWN BETWEEN ONLINE ROUTE AND PAPER ROUTE

i)The online route no one will correct your mistakes like it is done on paper route where VFS workers will make sure your papers are complete and arranged accordingly before submission.

ii) If you have access to a scanner and a desktop/system, online route is okay. Bear in mind, you will need to compress and merge your documents to 4MB before you can be able to upload them on your MyCIC account and also have your Naira debit card handy in order to complete payment. On the other hand, the paper route you are to pay at the counter in the VFS office.

III) The online route, upon successful submission of your application, you will receive a notification a day or 2 days as the case maybe at times might stay up to a week to proceed for your biometrics. Whilst, the paper route, you will complete everything that very day at the VFS office, then wait for the outcome of your application.

IV) Finally, Online route is cost (65-66k) for first timers. Whereas, paper route cost (68-69k) for first time applicant.

So it's left for you to decide which best suit you. Be properly guided that none of the above routes (paper and online) have any added advantage to your TRV application.

5-) You will have enormous explanation to give should you opt for a second degree instead of a PGD reasons being that you will have to cover up for your study gaps. What were you up to/doing since you last left highschool until now?. I believe your sole purpose of coming here is to seek for advice. Hence, I will advice you from the wisdom of my experiences which I enjoyed for over the years that you should go ahead and apply for your visa with the PGD acceptance letter from George Brown College(GBC) and explain in your SOP how the program will be beneficial to your career and how it will be translated to your home country for the benefit of others.

I drop my pen!

Best of luck!

Guy,

Why don't you try Express Entry...it's better Jare you have the requires experience! At worst you get a PGD here to boost your point... That's the route I took sha and I got my COPR.

Secondly, if your are going for School, don't do GIS. Please go to for a marketable course like Power Engineering, Software Engineering or Nursing...

Best of Luck
