JustMellow:


Hello Guest911,

Present your organization as a sole proprietor enterprise stationed permanently in your country. This would help you demonstrate stronger home ties through its domestic operations.

To show the financial solvency and lucrativeness of the enterprise, the business activities can be described as blended operations. The world has gone digital and it is your job to help the officer to understand the gains of placing your organization in the inter-continental market to be able to connect and network without transborder barriers with your foreign business partners and/or clients. Attribute the foreign currency earnings to businesses executed with your foreign clients and/or partners in your country.

Include the business registration certificate, memorandum of association, article of association, Payoneer statement, bank reference letter, dollar statement, business ID, business receipt, govt-issued revenue certificates (if any), complimentary card, etc.

If you decide to be silent about the freelance, you can substitute the payslips with a service payment invoice or service purchase order collaborating the sums as reflected in the financial record(s).

You don't need to pay yourself. Since you are very sure that the domiciliary account is sufficient, you pass as self-employed. On a side note, you can as well claim to be a freelancer as a second income source, which you enjoy as an economic passion. This way, you get to present your payslips, or as applicable, without misrepresenting facts.

If you don't know how to go about drafting a compelling SOP/LOE, reach out via my Nairaland signature. It is not pro bono.


Success is all I wish You!

Wow!
Thank you so much, Bulstriker, for these rich and analytical thoughts of yours. I'm really grateful. They will really help a great deal.

I have applied for Study Leave from my place of work, but it is not handled fast enough and I should reapply maximum by the middle of this month, since I'm resuming on the 1st of May.
In case the letter is not ready by then, should I still reapply and then send it to them through web form when it is ready?

Thanks a bunch for your advice.

silvyblaze:
Good morning everyone

I need advice plsssss

I'm a graduate of sociology with a CGPA of 3.3/5 in 2021. I've been learning Data analysis for more than a year now.

I wish to go for an IT related course for PGD but I can't seem to find one due to my GPA and my first degree.
I don't know if Research courses can go since it's related to both data and sociology.

I'm only a classroom teacher who earn 30k every month. My brothers and I have decided to sell one of my father's around property which is around 15m to sponsor my education.
My father's younger brother too wants to stand as a sponsor because he has money and bears same surname with me.

I also have a daughter of 16years, who's writing WAEC this year, and I want her to go with me.

I've been seeing documents and documents here and I don't have all that, where do I start from getting those documents?

Thanks

bullstriker:
It's better to submit everything at once. A supporting document like a study leave letter may never be added or reviewed by the VO after submission. All the best.

BoluwajiPieters:


How much is your tuition? How many years is your program?

Bobomaigida:


1. This and question 5 will be taken together, will his siblings in Canada give him the whole POF or they will just write letters of sponsorpship? The issue will then be that if the VO will be willing to give weight to the third-party sponsorship. The amount they have will also be scrutinized.
2. Since he has left school for a long time, then the immediate consideration will be if the course relates to his work experience, so what does he do now?
3. The age does not matter. I have seen 50 year get SP.
4. Digital photo is passport picture, there are specifications that you can use for the application, you have to visit a photo studion like studio 24 to take one.
6. DO your own research and where you need clarifications, you can always come here and ask questions so the house can help.



@bobomaigida ,
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your explanation
He's into Local Area Networking (LAN) Computer networking currently, that's what he's been doing for over 14 years now.....do you think this (his current work) relates to Electronics engineering?
Also his siblings are only paying for school fees, POF will be provided by him

Pick a cheap college. Choose a course that relates to data analysis. Since you'd be selling off a property, get a document that shows that. Your daughter might not be able to go with you now though.

Let me mention that I did not include Police character certificate, land documents or other property documents because I do not have any of those things. It is true that 2 applications cannot be the same, sometimes too much of documents even can get Visa Officers confused. The above listed documents were all I submitted. It is good to read people's TL to be encouraged but some TL will get you intimidated and confused. My application was a self- sponsored. And all I submitted as POF was 10.4m

I am a first time applicant and I have never traveled out of Nigeria before. I never enter plane before self despite the fact that I work at the airport until last month that I went for medical and biometric. Travel history is not a criteria.

The total of my tuition for the 1 year is about 20,000 cad + 10,000 cad living expenses+ 3000 cad miscellaneous.

How I addressed POF.

My salary is around 100k. I knew for sure that it is too little to present as monthly earnings. what I did was to use all the 1.7m I had in 2021 to buy Toyota Corolla. I planned running bolt with it for a good 1 year before submitting my application. I explained that I drive my car on bolt platform on part-time basis anytime am off duty. Each month I make sure i make over 100k net profit from bolt. I submitted 12 months MBS to show that I truly make such money from bolt. I collected a loan of 8m from a co-op society, collected 2m from a friend because I knew the 8m won't be enough to show as POF. I wrote in the LOE that this my friend was a long time friend (classmate) which was true. He had sent money to me (vice versa) severally in 2022. I also showed pictures of us together in 3 different occasions (in school,at my engagement and at a function) and also included his international passport. Someone in Canada even advised that I should not include him that nobody gives anyone such money in Canada, that even parents don't give their children money. But I had no other story to cook because the money had already been sent to my account. I also made sure I paid 1m into my spouse account to augment her salary for her and the children's upkeep so the VO will believe that nobody go press my neck for money in Canada. In my LOE, I also mentioned that while I would be away, there is an arrangement on ground to employ a driver that will drive my car on a FULL TIME basis with weekly remittance of #30,000 to my account and to be managed by my spouse. The weekly 30k + my monthly salary+ other annual benefits from my employer resulted to additional 3m+ (about 10k cad)

How I addressed hometie

Apart from the fact that my family (spouse and children) and job are strong home tie. I became a volunteer with Red cross society of Nigeria just for the purpose of ID card and pictures, and I got that. I also collected a letter from my church. You can buy a pet (🐶, 🐱, 🦁, chicken 🐔) and add it to yours as hometie in your application. Include their vetinary cards and other documents.

Please note, keep your application as simple as possible, no allow NL use TL press your neck. Submit your application as early as possible so you can have peace of mind, and plan your departure well. All the experience I have today was gotten from here because I have been following since 2020. I also handled a friend's application last year. Submitted application Aug 16, 2022 and PPr Dec 26, 2022.... In all one cannot rule out the importance of prayers. I read here where people engage in different and lengthy spiritual practices. I also prayed and fasted for just 3 days and God got involved.

Submit your pending applications now......

I pray that God will come through for as much as many applications this year, especially those ones that that overdue/overstayed for a decision.

I'm available to answer questions hear....if you come to my TL for private engagement or documents, na billing ooooo.... Looking for Raba noww

Yemlizzy:

Hi, I booked with Ethiopian airlines in their V.I branch. There are one of the most affordable airline. Price is lower too when your travel date is farther and you book in time.
