koolmd: Hello Bro,

My application for the Canadian FSWP was actually returned at the initial stage. I sent in my docs and i got an e-mail after about 3months that my profession had been removed from the ministerial list and its no longer eligible for processing.

Threafter, my documents were mailed back to me.

saintanthonyd: Hello and well done.
@Vicjustice or anyone that can advise:

Pls, what's the time range for processing uk student visa in Nigeria as it's 17workin days already and i still havnt had mine; d wait is killing me.

saintanthonyd:
More so, does a late response from BHC indicated that there would be a refusal? I mean, does it take them longer time to refuse visas than to grant them?
I'm really very apprehensive here and I always like to prepare for shocks.
Would appreciate some reply. Thank U.

poopppyLiillyy: I was denied a Visa today based on d fact that d act statement I used doesn't carry d same surname with mine.he is my brother,his mum married my dad after his dad died,but the VO doesn't feel convinced enough,pls what can I do?

poopppyLiillyy: I was denied a Visa today based on d fact that d act statement I used doesn't carry d same surname with mine.he is my brother,his mum married my mum after his dad died,but the VO doesn't feel convinced enough,pls what can I do?

emmanuelson20: Once again, sorry for the denial, be strong, you will be granted next time. I think u made a mistake here, "his mom married my mom after his dad died"! As for your question, there are 2 options i have for you. (1) You go to the High Court at ikeja or anyone close to you to get a notary officer sign & stamp a letter written by your Step-brother establishing his relationship with you. (2) If you can get a bank account statement with your surname preferably from your mom, it is the best of the 2 options cos this would create an impression that you have genuine intention of studying in the U.S. Hope this works. Peace.

Vicjustice: Your advice/suggestions would be perfect if PoopppyLiillyy is applying for student visa, but it seems s/he is applying for tourist visa; therefore, sponsorship is a jeopardy

poopppyLiillyy:

Yeah,Its a Student Visa,and I was denied cos of the "diff-in-surname" thing...my parents ar nt avn an act with d required amount,only my step-bro does.So mayb I will do d affidavit/notary signature thing.Also av been tryn to reapply and get an emmergency date cos my school will be resuming August 27,but I dnt knw how....Pls can someone help me out??!!!

justwise:

Only your mom or daddy can sponsor you, not step-brother or sister.

poopppyLiillyy:

But Why??!!....I av already entered his name as my sponsor for the 1st interview,will uttering it nt affect me in the next interview or is it even possible to change it atall at this time to My parents??

Vicjustice:
If your parent is your sponsor, you won't be obliged to prove anything except to prove that the fund is available. But if you are using any other person as sponsor, you will have to demonstrate why the individual choses to sponsor you and how your education will benefit him.
This is why it is extremely difficult to get a visa using a
sponsor who is an outsider.
I understand your sponsor is your step brother, but observing his surname, the ECO will consider him an outsider

poopppyLiillyy:

But Why??!!....I av already entered his name as my sponsor for the 1st interview,will uttering it nt affect me in the next interview or is it even possible to change it atall at this time to My parents??

justwise: you did not read the UK student rule before applying for visa, its clearly stated there that only your mum and daddy can sponsor you or your country Govt, international organisation...etc,just hope that the ECO will not pick that up during the interview

poopppyLiillyy:

Its a US student Visa(F1),nt UK.

justwise:

Ok, you should have made that clear.

Please..I am a carpenter, and I went to don bosco vocational school in my ondo state to learn capentry.
I am interested in going to Canada to undergo training that can set me apart from other carpenters in Nigeria as most don't have certificate to back up the work.
I already applied to monhawk college in Ontario fo apprenticeship certificate.
I attended university of ilorin but didn't comlete my degree due to some problem.
I just set up my carpentry company here in Nigeria about a year ago.
Finance is not a problem.
But my real concern is what will Vo @ the Canada embassy will think of me going for apprenticeship training as major Nigerians go for bsc and masters....do you think I have a chance

datola: Please what document does one who own a company needs to attend a 1-day training in the UK? Please specify if Invitation letter will be necessary and who should issue it. The trip is October ending, hope the whole process can complete before then.

Thanks so much.

My dear Carpenter friend you do not need any study permit to enter Canada because with your skill lever you are a major asset to yourself and Canada needs people like you as permanent residents at the moment. Its a pity how people like you dont know their global worth because of lack of adequate information. But God is ready to uplift your status that is why he led you here to get the information you need to excel.


I just got my permanent residence visa approved in canada as a skilled worker and planning to relocate soonest. But unlike you i am a Civil engineer. I can confidently tell you that you are very qualified to enter canada like me. Get your self prepared to package your application as a trades skilled worker applicant to the Canadian High Commission in Accra,Ghana early next year as a new policy regime for trades skilled workers like you will be available at the time. All you need to do is package your application well ,devoid of fraudulent documents of any sort and you are well on your way to Canada like me with your PRV and not TRV. Cheers !

NB: As a trades skilled professional you do not need to be a university graduate. The work requirement is for you to have a minimum of secondary school education and also for you to have undergone an apprenticeship or work experience in that trade or undergone training for a minimum of 3years. This applies to skill trades like welders,plumbers and so on

But the guy doesn't seem to be interested in migrating to Canada (which is what your recommendation is suitable for), i thought he said he wants to travel to Canada for training so that he may stand out among other competitors in his trade
