Put all documents in word and save as PDF web publisher document, that way it's compressed with any online resources.

Qudkom:
Let me join this online/paper route argument. The whole argument about which is better or more effective is largely unnecessary. It doesn't matter if you use online or paper if you submit rubbish or fraudulent documents it's still going to be rejected. Also if your documents are out of place and you submit unnecessary supporting documents then it's still going to be the same outcome. What I can say is whenever you are submitting an application go straight to the point. If USA visa officers give you just a few minutes to talk. Why would you think this visa officers will take the whole day to verify your documents. I repeat go straight to the point.

1. You dont have to attach 8 property documents believe me 1 or 2 is sufficient. No VO cares about you having 10 properties. People say you need it for hometies but home tie isn't just finance it is also (Social, family, Personal Investments etc)

2. Your SOP doesn't have to be two pages 4 paragraphs answering key questions is enough ( introduction, why you chose the program and goals, why canada and conclusion is enough.)

3. Bank statements isn't always about the balance, inflow/outflow over 6 months says a lot about the sponsor.

4. Understand that your family composition is very important in your sponsors decision to sponsor you. I.e if your have 4 younger siblings and you submit an application the VO will want to know if your father can cope with the expenses, for those using extended family the VO wants to know the dependents of the extended family member I.e why does your uncle/aunt want to sponsor you dont they have kids of their own and expenses etc

5. Like I said earlier no unnecessary documents should be attached. GO STRAIGHT TO THE POINT.

6. If you are going to attach a document that can appear confusing try and write a short "statement of explanation" explaining to the vo what the document is all about. For example you are a member of an Agricultural investment company a short statement of explanation should clarify when and why you joined the association and what the returns from the association is used for. This statement should be attached just before the document and you should use it as many times as possible that way the VO can flow with you.

6. Lastly use spell check or any grammer check online to verify documents and for those who use online pdf compressors kindly note that not every online compressor is safe some store your data on their servers while the good ones delete them after you are done compressing. Googling the top 10 compressors will do.

P.s: this is my opinion on study visa applications. And for the newbies try reading from part 11 that way you can get a degree in handling canada study visa applications lol.

I understand the feelings and stiff position but base on the excerpts of the details of your interview, it didn't seem so critical, but I fully comprehend the anxiety to perform.

Please don't jump to the ground so you don't get bruised up and hurt your morale in the process. The outcome of it all might just come surprising to you like a flashlight at the end.

Stay abreast and be optimistic. Since you ain't so positive about your Plan A, as you drag it along with uncertainty also begin to get your Plan B underway. Wishing you the best, you will smile last last.

Thanks a lot! Appreciate it.

Someone should pls reply

Hello famz,
Can someone pls help with the list of required documents to process my visa.
I'll be using my uncle as my sponsor plus i have 8k cad as funding per annum.
What document do i and my sponsors need to submit?
I'll be thru with my nysc next Thursday 14th of march, and i believe this is good for the application, as a fresh graduate, i stand to be corrected.
Another issue is that my parent are late but i dont want to include it in my sop so that it wont weaken my home ties, plus i have 6 siblings and I'm the first child, i hope this wont be an issue as i wont be submitting my parents birth certificate and why they wont be sponsoring me instead of the sponsor.
Thanks in advance for your reply

The only original document should be your statement of account(s)

I applied for BAN1 summer in fanshawe college, post graduate, they sent a invoice but my agent didnt inform me about the deadline which was March 1 to pay fees, now the deadline has passed and they have cancelled my admission slot, i hurriedly paid the first term fees, they now put me on waiting list. So sad .
This is for those applying to Fanshawe, pls treat all deadlines with a sense of importance.
I pray I make it out of the wait list.

Welcome to the world of Fanshawe. It is a wonderful school (bigger in size than most schools I have seen in UK), good lecturers, massive gym, games centre (snooker, table tennis), specific jobs for international students on campus, fantastic international office to help with immigration and PGWP and so forth but make sure you have money to pay on time for first and second semester otherwise, look for another college. Fanshawe will not even give you LOA without paying first semester tuition. they like money well well

I paid 8,000CAD for 1st semester when I was applying for my visa. Second semester starts May 7 and deadline for payment was March 1 as well (That was way too early). If you don't pay before the deadline as an international student, your admission may be cancelled even if you are already enrolled and studying in the school.

Downside of the school, they do not allow international students pay installments like you have in some colleges and universities. International applicants have abused such privileges of paying in installments in the past so they stopped it.

For everyone about to apply to schools in Canada, check your pockets and availability of funds very well before applying and ask questions. Ask if the school you are applying to allow installments and ask for possible deadlines (I think the best people to ask are either current or past international students of schools you are looking into). Nobody will help you with $1 in the abroad , so plan very well. There are schools that allow installments, so do your research very well.

Fanshawe has so many programs and so many applicants from India (my opinion, they are using it to make money and "exploiting" those students from India, same think UK is doing with Chinese students). These Indians have money and have access to government loans, so Fanshawe cancel applicants admission easily when fees are not paid by due dates.

My post is for hustlers and those managing like me. If your parents are rich, you need not worry. Shalom.

P.S Any school that demands full payment of fees before applying for visa already gives you an idea of the school.

The bank statement and any document(sponsorship letter etc) addressed to the Canadian VO should be original

I was thinking Int'l students are to pay the required $2300 as seat reservation. Afterwards when 1st sem starts, student pay full tuition. Isnt it ?

Most programs require you pay all of fees to get LOA, let me assume your program is not that competitive. Fanshawe has so many programs. Whatever deadline they give you, just follow it.

if you submit through paper, they would inform U that the only thing you'll receive back is your PASSPORT,so unreplaceable documents should be photocopy.

Boss, I just have a bad habit when it comes to charging phone and laptop. It is a bad habit I developed while I was in the UK ( I think the 247 electricity contributed to this bad habit). If the battery is not less than 10% and get a warning sign, I won’t charge it and even when I do, I don’t have the patience to make sure it is fully charged before I remove it

You can never find my gadgets fully charged

Paper route. IMM forms, SOP/LOE, sponsors letter (adressed to the Visa officer), your international passport, LOA, SOA, reference letter from bank addressed to the VO (if you have it) are the ONLY original copies you should submit.

These original copies wont be returned except your stamped passport (amen). You can include originals of LOA because you should have a soft copy and can always print out another one if you need it (you may be asked to show your LOA at POE).

Every other document such as business documents, birth certificates and so forth should be photocopies.

POE = port of entry
LOA = Letter of admission
SOA = Statement of account

@agroNACT, please accept my pm request. I'm also a usask prospective student.

Please can someone who residents in Winnipeg assist with letter of relative for provincial nomination.

johnsonsegxy:

Paper route (if you are applying in Nigeria) = Yes, Online = No

If you are applying in United Kingdom via paper or online route, you will NOT submit your passport unless requested by CIC.

Please check conditions of the country you are based.
