Greetings everyone,
I just got a MSC admission to university of Alberta, department of chemical and material engineering, with funding .

I would appreciate your kind guidance through my paper visa application process.
I have the following documents;
Admission letter
Funding letter
Statement of result
SOA
Weac certificate
Nysc certificate
Police report .
Is transcript compulsory? Because this might take time before I get it
I tried to do an upfront medical, but q-life said the earliest available date is 7th of June, which is way too far.
I'll like further clarifications regarding my application, and other necessary supporting documents.

Kind regards

Hello my people, good evening. How has been your day.

Please I need an advice from you.

I am 28 years of age and already have my BSC and masters. All efforts to get a good paying job have been fruitless. So I'm thinking of migrating to Canada or any other good foreign country (USA I heard is kinda dificult)
My question is this. Can I apply to universities in Canada for a Postgraduate course or possibly another masters.

Or should I apply through canadaian Express entry. I can get a good statement of account but what are my chances of getting a visa.

I would be grateful if I'm giving a candid advice, I shall forever be grateful.

Hello all.

A friend of mine is applying for study visa. He has the tuition fee + 10k to cover living expenses for a year in his account. Does he still need to get a sponsor? If he does, is it compulsory that the sponsor transfer some money to him or will it suffice for the sponsor (his brother probably) to just sign a sponsorship letter?

I’ll appreciate anyone’s take on this. Thank you in advance ☺️

Asapant:
Someone should kindly provide answer to my inquiry.
Am I to fill the Section A and B of the family info form ?

Kenny4real68:
Good day everyone,
Please I want to submit my father’s landed property documents as ties.
But I am confused because am seeing lots of documents eg. Deed of assignment, irrevocable power of attorney, land survey plan . Please which one is the important one needed. He is even in possession of the deed of assignment and irrevocable power of attorney the person he bought the land from used in buying previously before he sold to my father. Please am I to include it as well? both the past and present?

secondly, our current house is owned by my father but the C of O is not bearing name, it bears the name of the man that sold it to my father many years ago. I asked my father why is the C of O not bearing his name, he told me that it takes time and it’s not an easy process and that the irrevocable power of attorney made have given him the right over the right of the C of O even though it doesn’t bear his name. Please How true is this? Submitting a C of O with a different name won’t it confuse the VO? I can also see a document written LEASE FOR A TERM OF 99years between Anambra state housing development corporation(Lessor) and the man whose name appears in the C of O as thev(Lessee), (that is , the person my father bought the land from)
Please someone should help clarify me the important documents needed to show prove of landed property/buildings .. @justmellow, @Qudkom @makano @naijaforeigner @austacus @042viber and please lawyers in the house kindly assist as I have no idea in this field.
Thanks for your suggestion.

Please, can a declaration of age(affidavit from court)suffice for birth certificate for my parents, siblings and i? I only have the one from the maternity where i was born and my parents and siblings can't find their's.

I will be applying as a self sponsored applicant and I've read from here that i need those.

Also, i want to do an upfront medical and submit with my online application but a friend advised against it. But the issue is that my job is very demanding(7-7) and i live in the east. Traveling on a working day won't be easy. I'm planning to use my leave to travel for both biometrics and medicals together.

Is there any disadvantage to an upfront medicals?

SandCastle:

hello brothers and sisters, preparing to fill the study permit application but I have few questions to ask on the funds section.

The program is undergraduate Four years. Please if for one academic year (8 months) the tuition fee is about 13,500 CAD and the insurance, books and other required fees are 3,000 CAD and campus accommodation and feeding for two semesters are 9,000 CAD, how will I feel the spaces containing the TUITION FEES, ROOM AND BOARD, OTHERS, FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR MY STAY?

Thanks for your answers.

Hello Magnificio2000,

Absolutely yes, you can go for a 2nd Masters or PGD/C, what is really important is being able to justify that there is a career progression or self development as a reason for seeking an additional Knowledge/professional certificate in a closely related course to either your work experience(if any) or previous studies.

As for express entry, even if money is important but it isn't the principal factor/requirement as your age(which will be a good point), IElTS(which is also another factor), Work experience(another factor) etc

NB: Dual intent is permitted by IRCC but before settling for a dual intent, first consider the best option between studies and EE. You can as well do a proper research on both so you know and weigh your best option. I won't advise you on which to choose but after your research, it will become clear.

Good luck!

Qudkom:

There isn't any disadvantage of conducting an upfront medical. The only disadvantage is it expires after a year should incase God forbid you don't get approved initially. And yes the affidavit can be used. Matter of fact the whole birth certificate is the least of your concerns although it explains your parents dependents if they are sponsoring.

JustMellow:


Just a few tip: as a self sponsored applicant if you is married with kids, there will be absolutely no need for the birth certificates of your siblings rather your kids and spouse but only on the exceptions if you is single before that of your siblings and parents can considerately suffice.

An affidavit will suffice but after you get the affidavit, you can easily go to National Population Census(NPC) to get a birth certificate issued for each and everyone of your concerned family.

Given you tight job schedule, booking an upfront medical won't cause any harm to your application and booking it with IOM in Abuja would be faster than Qlife likewise submitting your application.

JustMellow:


If that's the funds at his disposal, he will be needing a capable sponsor with a sufficient balance especially to prove/show that the tuition fund for the subsequent year or not can be met.

Since he ready has his LE, there would be no need for his sponsor transferring any money into his account(the latter funds can be claimed to be transferred by him(sponsor) - everything is based on convincing. But its advisable to pay for either his deposit fee to secure his seat or first semester tuition fees. Then support every claim with of the sponsor in the sponsor's letter

Magnifico2000:

Austacus:

sashaa:

What if his program is just for a year? Will he still be needing a sponsor seeing that he has tuition fee +10kCAD?

JustMellow:


There is absolutely no demerit. If you select NO, the same shared surname would sell you out if a background check regarding to that question is run.

It would be advisable to select YES, and input his required information. You can notify him about such development before taking such action.

BTW The question in quote reference more to a member of a nuclear family than to an extended family.

Thank you

Qudkom:
Third Party sponsorship

I have noticed a few issues regarding the use of 3rd party sponsorship and I'd like to make a few remarks to the best of my knowledge.

3rd party sponsorship is the use of individuals/organisations that dont have a direct relationship with you or have their own dependents.


It isn't impossible to use a 3rd party sponsor, but a lot of people find it hard to get the required details. A VO needs to understand why someone that isn't directly related to you (father, Mother, husband, wife or siblings without dependents) would want to sponsor you. The very first thing they need to understand is:
1. Has the 3rd party sponsor assisted you financially in the past with concrete EVIDENCE! .
2. Can you explain vividly the dependents of the 3rd party sponsor and how this won't affect future assistance.
3. Can you explain why a (3rd) would want to spend so much money on you!.

so ideally there isn't a perfect way to do this or a magical document to convince a VO. However if you can get the following among other supporting documents then you are fine. Also note the older you are the harder it is for a VO to believe your case and you can get flagged for rejection based on "Personal finance" or inadequate reason for embarking on an expensive program.
1. Show proof the (3rd) has assisted in the past
2. Explain vividly the (3rd) dependents in a separate LOE. And back it up with documents
3. (3rd) financial portfolio
4. Rather than the (3rd) stating in the letter of employment that he/she promises to do this and that let the person pay a reasonable sum perhaps tuition. That way the LOS will have a statement such as
" I have paid the applicants 1st semester fee has my own quota of support towards the applicants studies and prepared to do more in future".
You will notice that the (3rd) has shown considerable support to convince the VO rather than making empty promises to the VO on supporting.
This is just a few tips and there are so many other things that can be done to help your application. God bless!

The name of the school is Lakehead University in Ontario. Please how do I order for my GCMS in my online portal. And how long those it take before I get it?

Good day sir, please I want to submit my application at VFS on Monday, please do I need to add an SOP to my documents, it's not in the checklist of the students permit application and also how do I rightly fill this student permit questionnaire form, I'll like to get a pic of an already filled approved one if possible to use as an example, thanks.

makano:
Mr Man, SOP isnt compulsory but very necessary. We have seen peeps here getting their TRV without any SOP but that doesn't mean you not submitting an SOP will work for you.. Canadian embassy does not conduct Interviews for applicants(Except on very rare occasions) unlike USA. So its ur SOP u will use to sell ursef to the Visa Offcier, so I will advise u write an SOP and if u have been refused before, U will also need to write an LOE.. And to the Questionnaire, please dnt let me get angry with you, u said u need an already filled form to fill urs, were u serious or Joking there? *Its peeps like u that use expo to write exam, so when u eventually get to Canada now, u will be looking for someone that have finished his papers in an exam hall so he can give u his answer sheet for u to write his answers*... Common please stop this and do the right thing.. Ur present situation/condition is different from any other person's situation so u dnt need another person's own to write yours.. Like its being called Questionnaire, so u just have to answer those questions as it relates to you. These question was for Austacus but I just had to answer, cos anybody can answer.. Peace
