JustMellow:


There are certain subtle things/requirements that might have conspired with the reasonableness of the VO which are more demanding when compared to the listed documents like:

1. The level of your intended studies and its correlation, and how well was it explained or convincingly connected in terms of no course relation/marketing the future benefits/importance of the course if it relates.

2. As a self sponsored, how expensive is the tuition fees and how's it been funded, will your source of income be threatened - "some folks might want to say financial capability/capacity has nothing to do with Purpose of Visit but yeah, it sure does."

3. As a self sponsored, what was the strength of your SOA like: strong, fairly strong, fair. How did you show the financial reasonableness in regards to your tuition fees and living expenses.

4. How good is your salary and how reliable is job.

5. Why did you opt for self sponsorship and how constructive was your LOE in general terms.

6. Apart from your landed properties, what else served as your home ties - fiancée! Was there any evidence shown for the common law or an intend marriage. How did you present your home ties in general terms.

This questions are all based on assumptions but might not necessarily be far from the concerns raised by the VO, which might assist every knowledgeable folks on this fora in doling out suggestions that would hint as a guided direction in your reapplication.

BTW request for your gcms notes to get a more accurate insight(s) that addressed the VO concerns

Congratulations to all who have received approval of visas, reading your success stories gives me great hope. I believe I will also share my testimony soonest.

Dear Seniors n Gurus,
I need your advice, I intend to sell off 2 of my investments a land n car to have liquid cash in my account as most of my money is tied on investments e.g land, Mutual fund, rsa etc.

My questions
1. Can I pay the lump sum into my account and use to buy treasury bill or fixed deposit to show it's intended for my tuition
2. Can my spouses savings be included as part of source of my finances
3. Can I open a dorm account and pay the money into a dollar account.
4. Can I submit investments that are in my spouses name during my application? As all our investments are in my spouses name except for cars

Pls i need n appreciate your advice.

Thanks in anticipation

Basically, IRCC made us to believe that upfront medicals speeds up the processing of an application. However, when an applicant undergoes an upfront medical exam prior to their application submission, the foreseeability of securing the visa is 50/50 as you will be left for a decision to be communicated to you. On the contrary, when applicant is instructed to undertake a medical exam during visa processing, chances are 90/100 that he/she will be approved. At the end you're left with the decision to select which you feel would work for you. With respect to your last question, it doesn't make any difference or impact. All documents can be submitted without being on a red seal copy, provided that the documents bears an official stamp or signature.

Good Luck!

Please I need get some information from you guys. I'm married but currently I'm South Korea doing my masters degree which I'm almost through. I used my sister's statement of account when I was applied for my masters in Korea (though I was single then), but now I'm married and I want to go for a PhD or another masters degree in Canada. My concerns is that I want to use my elder sister as my sponsor (as she works with a federal govt parastatal) but I'm afraid they will think how can a married man still be sponsored. I have money in my personal account but it's not up to the required amount. Will this be a hindrance? Thanks for your help

Qudkom:


She has sponsored you in the past all you need is to get proper documentations to back it up. For example the statement of account showing all the transactions she made to you together with her work credentials. Make sure you pay your 1st semester tuition through her account also and provide proove of that too. All the best.

Qudkom:

Kindly provide a comprehensive list of what you submitted.

1. The course am going for is call Rov pilot technician which is a 2years program... I made the VO see reasons why I choose such as my major by telling him my first encounter with an Rov equipment and how I developed interest while working on a ship with such equipment, I made him understand that such course is not done in Nigeria and if it was there will be no need for me traveling to get such certificate when I know I can get it here in Nigeria and it's an international certificate. I also make him understand why I pick MUN to study such course which was bcus of how there course outline is planned and the duration as compared to UK and Philippines that offer same course but for a shorter period 3weeks and I don't feel I will become competent in this field if I go for the 3wks program, I also make him to understand how important it is to come back and work in my country bcus the Rov industry is been dominated by foreigner. Also talked about how I will impact and apply what I have learn in my country.
2.the cost of the course is 7118$ CAD for a year so it's very cheap and I have to pay per semester which is half that amount. I have been saving for this course since I contacted the school that was in 2015, I was working and trying to upgrade my self to get my license as a marine Engr and also saving for this particular course bcus I don't have anyone that will give me the money. So I have save for my one year tuition fee and also 12000$ CAD for my one year living expenses....in my personal account I have almost 7+m, so I will say my funds were not been threaten
3. I believe since my tuition fee and my living expenses is less that my balance I will say my financial status is strong.
4. My salary is about 345k and it's a reliable job and am still working with the company.
5, I decided to sponsor myself because my parents don't have such money to sponsor me and I don't want to forge bank statement with their names cuz I know they will verify it. My LOE was very strong bcus like I said earlier I talked about the availability of the country not in my home country, why I must return to work in my country (pay will be in US dollars rate which will be a boost for me as compare to Canada where I will earn in Canadian dollar and spend In Canadian dollar ) the availability of the job due to the fact that foreigners are in positions Nigerians can handle if they have such certificate. Also gave them explanations about how I started from when I finish my ssce, the gaps between my ssce and when I went for other courses (marine related) to enable me upgrade till I get my 3rd Engr license. Told them about my relationship with my fiancee and how we both own a land property worth 4m and also have a joint account worth 700+k.
6. Apart from land property, I use my own family as home ties my mum and siblings and also make them understand that I don't have anyone in Canada and once am done with my studies I will be coming back to get married to my fiancee because that is what we both agreed on. Added our joint account, tenant agreement we made with our landlord because we both stay together in a 3bedroom apartment having my one of my sister leaving with us. We also sworn an affidavit that we are both in a common law union and once am back we would get married.
Kindly go through
Help out if I did anything wrong.

Qudkom:

I am sorry but if you have no work experience in the field you are applying for then the Visa officer might not be convinced that you are a bona fide student and think you are using the study route to migrate to Canada. I am not saying it is impossible just difficult. Why don't you drop your email address and let me contact you.

kennykolabo:

tobiasbeecher:

Thanks bro, but seriously, she never paid another money for me other than the one she contributed when I was traveling at the initial stage. I hustled and paid all my tuition by myself. When I was applying for the masters in Korea, she provided the SOA, her payslip, her change of name document to prove that we bear the same surname before she got married, her house document, marriage certificate etc. So there is no paper trail to show she paid for my masters. So what do you think about this?
