If you can buy PTA, ask for the sterling equivalent of the US$4,000 allowance. I'm not sure if you can get sterling now, but that's a possiblity.

Second, converting USD to pounds in the UK might be unfavourable in terms of exchange rate. If you can, just buy the sterling now from naira and go with it.

LoyalRoyalty:
I wanted to get a date in August, but no free dates in August at the moment. Anyone with similar experience?

Hello folks,

Has anyone used the signed and stamped statement of account from GT Internet Banking for tier 4 visa application. Currently in the uk and plan to switch to tier 4 from within before July 31st.

Madupcy:
These ones are not from an employer but I hope they help as guideline.

Aaron321:
Sorry about the denial.. u can check on Qukom post on purpose of visit to give u a clear idea of Wat happen.. meanwhile reply my mail pls

Obehi44:
House, the refusal came again 2nd time. First time was personal assets and financial status but now they say it's "purpose of visit"
Yesterday I mentioned a few monikers that got this bvl same time as mine came in, today I can see two out of those monikers coming to say they have been refused this evening just as I got mine this evening too.
All same reason "purpose of visit"
I can almost conclude that it was same VO that dished was in charged. Him just de bomb people email and Cic account with same reasons.
If these people have limits of people they give visa to per a period, they should just say rather than letting us go through stress and keep paying application fee.
Anyway, I will other for the gcms again, defer admission and refire again.
@Franck please my dear, can I have a one on one? Just want to ask one question please.
Thanks.

hadigun:
Please what does this means? I just linked my application.

Schonebaby:
Good morning my lovely people!
My husband and daughter just got approved.
God has done it again hmmmm....

OliviaPretty9:
Congratulations @Kenny..... I am happy for you.

Please I checked through University of Saskatchewan but discovered application for Fall2020 is yet to be available.. Would you advise I apply for winter 2020 or wait for Fall 2020?....

Also the school says I can apply without securing a potential supervisor --is this another scam?

Thanks

YES to the questions in bold. I got my MSc admission from this University without a supervisor. Depends on ur application. So it's not scam

Dera12345:
Thanks once more everyone!!!
And to give back to the forum before I travel, I would like to willingly assist few applicants finding it difficult to secure MSc funding admission, including magic tips on how to charm a supervisor lol.
Also note, first impression matters and that determines the rest of the positive interactions depending on the supervisor’s response.

I was once in their shoes and I know how frustrating it can be, this is the best I can do!!!

Kenny4real68:
Sorry about your refusal, go through this information first though there’s a little change!!! Besides when did you apply for visa? Since you said you submitted only passport and bank statement, does it mean you don’t have admission letter yet?

Attention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Long Post Alert

comprehensive list of requirements for study visa application.newbies follow up!

All required CIC Forms, altogether four(4) in number:

- IMM1294 form/study permit form; fill on the computer don't use PEN, validate and sign. If you have been refused visa(s) in any country you MUST answer YES to it in a section provided for it in this very form. Failure is 5 YEARS BAN.
- Lagos visa office instruction form: Included checklist from page 1-5 (tick documents submitted) and Study Permit Questionnaire page17-18 (fill this very questionnaire with pen).
- Family information form, fill on the computer.
- In addition current CIC application fee for both visa & biometrics is N56,000 approximately

Educational documents:
- Waec/Neco.
- B.sc certificate/HND/Masters certificate as the case may be.
- Transcripts.
- NYSC certificate.
- Intending school admission letter & invoice and school fees receipt as the case may be.
- Relevant professional certification(s) if applicable.

Identification documents/others:
- Birth cert. and sibling(s) birth Cert.
- International passport and its photocopies of data page only
- Passport photograph
- police report
- previous visa(s) to satisfy travel history if applicable. If you don't have don't necessarily worry.

Financial document/source of income and proof of relationship

If you sponsor is a working class then the following:
- Employment letter of sponsor, 6 months Pay-slip, work Id and Introductory letter if possible.
- 6 months bank statement of the sponsor with adequate funds and a reference letter attached to it by the bank (bank letter head, signed and stamped).
- Any asset of the sponsor e.g Land documents but in some cases if not available, don't worry
- Sponsors may be self/father/mother/brother/sister/uncle/cousin/inlaw/wife/husband. The idea of family friend I can't guarantee anyone.

If you sponsor is a business man/woman/person/self-sponsor entrepreneur then the following:
- 6 months bank statement of a sponsor with adequate funds and a reference letter attached to it by the bank (on bank letter head, signed and stamped).
- CAC documents/certificate of registration, tax clearance certificate(s), if the already mentioned is not available, invoices, transaction receipts and rent receipts can play here to prove sources of income.
- Land documents if available.

Proof of relationship are;
select as apply to the sponsor you intend using.
- Marriage certificate
- Birth certificate/affidavit of age

N.B: the 2 listed above are the substantial and convincing proves. For example if my sister is married and her husband is sponsoring me. To prove relationship, my birth cert. and my sister's birth cert. come to play. since the in-law is my sponsor, to prove that, my sister's hubby has to get (their/his) marriage certificate and his birth cert./affidavit of age. So the key factor in proving any relationship is marriage cert. and birth cert/affidavit of age. Anyone if applicable I didn't mention is entertained.

In addition, detail sponsorship letter written by the sponsor or by your aid, then signed by the sponsor and affidavit of sponsorship which would be taken to and signed in a High court.

For the principal applicant:

If you are done with youth service, endeavour to explain any gap more than one year
for those employed, List of requirements are:
- Employment letter(s)
- 4/6 months payslips and if your account statement indicates your monthly salary and allowances, point that to the VO via your SOP if payslips are not available to you. In some cases I assume that the VOs point such out on your bank statements and may not bother about payslips.
- Introductory letter as the case may be.
- Study leave in cases if you are coming back or claimed coming back to work with your same organisation.
- Your Personal Bank Statement and a reasonable amount is expected if you are a mature applicant and having worked longer years. I do advice above N1m or surplus if you are opportune. Pension statements and insurance if available as the case may be.

If you are unemployed for more than 1 year and for many years but have tangible productive activity and which may have connection to your intended program and background, you should endeavour to explicitly explain this on your LOE/SOP and provide evidence by means of documents available. But if you don't, you can ask others for a positive solution.

If your are currently serving(NYSC):
- Call-up letter.
- Nysc ID card.
- PPA letter.
- Discharge certificate if you are done serving.
- NYSC statement of account if possible. Make sure you explain to the VO that you are serving your father-land(Nigeria) and it is mandatory for every graduate in Nigeria.
If you are out of service and idle for less than one year, endeavour to at least explain something meaningful you have been doing with your time.

For mature applicants of at least 28 years old and are employed, home ties may be of employment/assets/family/stock and bond etc.
Mature Single applicants that are employed; at least land documents to serve as home tie which the VO assumes would compel you to come back when you can't legally stay in Canada. stock & bond which worth reasonable value may play if any.
Married men/women; your wife/husband and kid(s) are already strong home tie(s).Addition of land documents, car particulars if available is to strengthen the financial/economic ties.

NB: Home ties vary and the VO may assess yours depending on your profile and case, so the above stated especially for Single(marital status) may vary.
In addition it doesn't mean that some documents required for TRV application and was unintentionally omitted and which may be irrelevant would lead to refusal. It won't as long as the relevant ones and ''a must'' is there.

More so, carefully choose your programs especially PGC(d)/dipoma applicants. Very soon, the mistake you made by choosing the wrong program and assuming that it's related when the COURSE MODULES of your intending program don't clearly correlate with your employment or its activities/previous studies, would amount to PURPOSE OF VISIT & CURRENT EMPLOYMENT SITUATION refusals and other refusal factors if other areas ain't taken care of.

Meanwhile those that have wider gap-year (4/5/6yrs more) and intend pursuing studies with diploma/UG afterwards. This style adopted by some is always complex in dealing with such applications and I find it difficult speaking on this aspect.

And Finally put more effort on your SOPs. Make it comprehensive, detailed and free from grammatical errors. Paragraph, structure it and make it professional. Avoid plagiarism, It spoils so many things. It has denied so many even the competitive masters admission in Canada.

Bracha:
If you can get a bus to Obalende/CMS from Iyana Ipaja, enter the bus. Stop at Obalende bus stop. At Obalende, take a Keke to Alagbon. Then walk into the place.

Qudkom:
You can scan specific pages. With over 100pages scanning 25pages is fine.
● 1st 5 pages
● 5 pages of each subsequent month
● last 5 pages of soa

Also note that the scanned pages should tally with the range of inflow in the account. Dont scan pages that shows 60k,100k,200k only and then scan the last pages showing millions in inflow. The VO cares about the inflow in the account and the source. Also to understand thay the balance tallies with previous transactions....

mcobex:
Are you going via paper or online route?
You don't have to give 6 months statement , since it's much you can reduce it to let's say 4 months and you will be fine

sillysassysally:
Congratulations!

Frankrobbn1:
The land sales agreement, receipts and survey plans are sufficient documents to show proof of ownership.

JustMellow:
This is were the SOP comes to play by stating reasons for such liquidation, the date, and showing proofs of the general histories via both recipients of such lump deposit. It shouldn't be much of a problem

yacha77:
Thanks bro.... Another one, I submitted land purchase agreements from years ago and just wondering how they might wanna verify that? Was a supporting document anyways. Appreciate
