Good afternoon everyone.
I got accepted to a University a week ago and I'm very excited but a bit worried about the visa application process.
I am writing IELTS this week in order to apply for the Nigerian Students Express program. However, I'm facing a LOT of issues with it. It states that i need 30k CAD in my account. I definitely haven't had that amount constantly for the past 6 months. It's possible to get that amount in order to show them, but will it still be valid if it hasn't been in the account for six months? Or should I just forget about it and use the regular route?
Speaking of the regular route, the Canadian immigration website states that it will take approximately 19 weeks to process my study permit. That is time that I do not have, because classes begin in September and I need to travel before then because of the whole quarantine thing. I know it might be a long shot, but nothing is impossible. Can anyone offer any words of encouragement or has anyone received their permit in a shorter amount of time?
I'm trying really hard not to panic and just to trust that God can do the impossible.
Looking forward to a response.
Thank you!

You really need to tidy up the POF aspect of your application whether you are applying though the NSE route or not. At the least you should be able to demonstrate that you've always had 10k CAD in your account in the last 6months after paying your school fees. (Assuming you are opting for the normal route).

That said, some get their visa way before the 19weeks. It's all about grace. You can start your application now for the fall of 2021.

Best of luck.

Teeprecious:


Please I also intend to do this after I land. Does it mean ur daughter will be on visitor's permit in canada or can it be converted to study permit for the duration of your own studies too?
Also,does it mean only one's spouse can bring the kids? What of if I decide I prefer my mum cos honestly dunno how soon my hubby will tidy his business and job here to come over and I want the kids to come asap when I land.
Kindly shed more light on this.

The visiting visa was so fast, I've heard SOWP takes a longer time, is this true?

bollybeejay:

Can you share your number?

childgodly:


Thank you so much for your reply. For the regular route will I still be required to write IELTS? Also, are you saying that I shouldn't bother with NSE if I cannot provide the 30k? Starting my application right away. Thank you.

Kkddyit:


IELTS is not compulsory for the regular route. Please start the application right away and also give some thought to the aspect of home ties. Put the rest in God's hand.

tumababa:


Pls can one use pension contributions as part of POF or home tie?

Hieveryone, can MBS be used as bank statement for pof?
Or one would use normal bank statement and then submit MBS when they get NSE request.

This week is our week of celebration!

Pension fits more as home tie than POF. As per regulation, only 25% of the fund is accessible before the statutory age of 50years. And you must be out of job for about 3months. The VO is aware that pension funds may not be readily available for you when needed. And if you are pointing to your pension fund to me as a VO, it's somewhat weakens your home ties.

tumababa:


So no need mentioning pension fund as home tie

TennieYF:


So are you saying that if the 30k was just put in your account by a sponsor alongside a sponsor letter stating what it is for, one cannot use NSE?

TennieYF:


Please can someone help answer this, liberally want to know, because I was considering using NSE option, presently I have 2m in my account, but my sponsor is going to transfer 10m to me with a letter stating what it is for.
So is it that I won't be able to use NSE route this way?

The sponsor is my mum's office cooperative, it is a loan which would be given to me with a letter explaining what the money is for.

Kkddyit:


Why not...you can use it as home tie. Most especially if the balance is substantially reasonable.

LadyIE:
Sure I know the VO has the final decision. Just want to know if it’s best applying for visa together with my kids based on people’s past application

tumababa:


Thought you said if i use it then it will weaken my home tie?

Kkddyit:


No. What I meant is if you are pointing to your pension is POF to the VO, is somehow reduces your home tie. But you can use same as home tie.
