Another person said I should not sign
I'm confused, do you mean I should just input my full names?

deommanuel:


You're going upfront bro?

Hi Guys,
Good day to everyone here and a big thank you for the information you've shared and the advised you've given. I have taken my time to go through the previous thread and I can say I have learnt a-lot.


So here's my situation.

I'm about rounding up my BSC programme (Environmental Science and Resources Management) at National Open University this January.

But I want to apply for 2 years Diploma in Radio and Television Journalism at Nova Scotia Community College - NSC, the reason for this course is because over the past five years I have been working in multi-national news media organisations and I have grown a passion for journalism.

My monthly salary presently is almost 400k and I have been investing it on a building project so I do not have any good amount of money in my account. The property if sold can fetch me close to 8mil. I'm 30 years old, single, no kids.

I have someone who can stand has a sponsor, she's has a company and cash inflow is not less 30 million. She's not related to me, she was my former boss who has turn like an aunt to me.


How do you advice I proceed with my application?

JustMellow:


Hello Blackyshadow,

You may want to consider going for a PGD/C in lieu of a Diploma. The reason you gave for the program choice is flimsy. Academically, for graduates, PGD/C and PBC is more of a progressive (professional) bridge to a Diploma.

Secondly, Only use 'the' auntie if you can convincingly and evidently show proof of relationship.

Unless you intend to liquidate the property, its usefulness will come resourceful in demonstrating your home ties. As a matured applicant with work experience, its of essence you're able to show some amount as gainful earner. It will also add vigor to your employment circumstances and financial advantage.

Best of Luck

Hi all, for those that were denied for this reason below;

"I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status."

How were you able to rectify this? And when you got your gcms notes, what was the Visa officer concern. Please help me.

ConradAce1:


I think it goes both ways;
1. Finances: that landed property is worth this said amount... In case of financial constraints while studying, it can be sold to meet up.

2 Home ties: if the said property is own by you or gifted, shows would return to have what you studied in CA installed on that land. Example farming and all.
Again, could be a house gifted to you. Shows you will established back home and there is no need for you wanting to remain there.

So in all, in deeds how it’s outline in your SOP

As regards you travelling with your Hubby & Son, that might not be a good idea cos they ought to serve as Ties to your home country (Something that can compel you to come back to Nigeria), and it is mandatory for you to show strong home ties to your home country

I think the guru would be able to shed more light on this

It will still not be considered as POF. POF must be readily available money. For instance, you cannot attach a property worth 50 million Naira and not attach a bank statement with adequate money to cover your tuition and LE. You’ll still be rejected.

Just saw my IELTS result but yet to get the hard copy via courier. Can I use the screenshot of the previewed online result for my NSE request.

lentomac:

Yes you can,

but you gotta package your Application to show you are going to be a best fit for the PG. Cert program you wanna go for despite having a 3rd class

Do refer to this post

Possible Solution/Way for a 3rd class Graduate to get Admission for a PG. Cert program in a College
https://www.nairaland.com/5818588/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/700#97090650

Advanced Diploma is lesser to a B.Tech/B.SC, so I think your agent is totally wrong on this.

Be careful of the kind of agent you use, so as to avoid stories that touch.

With the Resources on this forum, I feel you can D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself)

Also refer to this post

Good evening guys, Please are there people that are supposed to resume this Jan that are still waitng a response from IRCC?

adeenzo:
Hello guys, apologies for going M.I.A settling down in Canada is something else, but we thank God
So I am just gonna go straight to the point, just a piece of advice in two areas

1. Before your PPR (this stage is for people that are yet to get their positive feedback from IRCC)
2. Arriving in Canada (This stage is for people that have received their passport and already in Canada)

I purposely left out the pre-travel stage because rules and regulations surrounding your pre-traveling can change without notice, when I was traveling I didn’t need to show a COVID test result but now I think Canada actually demands a negative test result from all travelers by air.

1. Before your PPR: This stage can be very grueling and might look long, but over my time listening to gurus here I can tell you that
a. There is no method to this application, no two application is the same, just make sure you do your due diligence.

b. If you haven’t done your medicals please I would advise that you go ahead and book for your medicals because appointment dates run thin very fast. (I am not against anybody wanting to wait for IRCC to tell them to go for their medicals but doing it upfront speeds things up)

c. Order your GCMS notes: if your application has passed 2-3 months without you hearing from IRCC, I suggest you order your GCMS notes, that will give you some peace of mind because you know where you actually stand.

2. Arriving Canada: This stage is for people that are just arriving in Canada:
a. Take your time to adjust: it took me almost a week for my body to adjust to the time, cos when it's just 2 pm in Canada it's like 10 pm in Nigeria and your body would be telling you to go to sleep, so you have to gradually fight it and try staying awake till the evening time or night time for your body to adjust

b. The weather: the weather is nothing like what you have experienced, and honestly your mind and body might not fully prepare you for it. This stage is also gradual; get good snow boots and thick winter jackets, also if you can purchase an electric warmer blanket it would be a good move. Let kijiji be your go-to site for your purchases.

c. opening of account: I strongly recommend CIBC smart for student account because it has no monthly fee, your interac transactions are free, you get access to SPC (Student Price Card) which is a student loyalty program that gives you discount on fashion, food and groceries, movies etc. (please note this is just my two cents as per my research and what i currently use)

d. Accommodation: Make sure that your accommodation if it's off-campus, has all utilities included in your monthly rental fee because trust me the last thing that you want is to be keeping tabs on when your hydro, water, the internet should be renewed to avoid disconnection.

Please feel free to ask questions and I would try my possible best to answer them.

Thanks

femredhead:
Congrats !

Is it Academic or General?

Kandybite:


Congratulations, you did well ......how did you register pls and what material did you use to prepare?

SwayB:

Thank you for your input. I just don't want to waste money on application fees cause about three people have told me the same thing that i might not get admission applying for a pgd and at the same time, if i go for an advanced diploma, it does not show career progression. Kind of in a dilemma atm.
