I'm not in Finland yet but I'm at the stage of applying for a residence permit.

For the tuition fee, I went to the bank and request for the requirements for payment of tuition outside Nigeria. I was given a breakdown what to bring, Form A to fill and the total cost my tuition will be in naira. As soon as these requirements are met, the bank will handle the rest. It takes about 3-7 working days depending on the bank.

For health insurance, I used Aiico insurance which cost about #30500. You can walk into any Aiico insurance company and do it but ensure it covers €40000. You can also use Swisscare insurance, this can be done online through their website but will cost you more about 100k if I'm not mistaken.

For residence permit, visit Enterfinland https://enterfinland.fi/eServices. Create an account and start filling the form. If you need further assistance I can be of help.

Thats different, while I confirmed my admission place, I also enrolled as present at the same time. Its sort of takes you to the page for enrollment, I don't know if there is further changes. Meanwhile, you are suppose to receive an email from studyinfo after confirmation. Have you?

There are several insurance company you can use, Swisscare, Aiico insurance etc depending on your financial capacity.

Yes, I have received a notification from studyinfo but the link is for confirmation and I couldn't see a link to enroll as present.

Also, please how do I get the insurance stuff and how much does it cost

Hello everyone,

I’m just a newbie here (someone sent me a link to this thread) and I have been reading contents here I must say I’m impressed by the selfless replies and answers.

I have applied for schools in Canada and I’m awaiting admissions.

Please I have questions bothering me since days now.
I had been refused of USA visiting visa before like last year (around June). My uncle that sent the invitation was the one that did the application for me and there were a list of lies, such as married (while actually I wasn’t married), employed in an oil company with salary of about 400k per month (while I wasn’t working, in fact just graduated), and fake documents to serve as proofs. And my mother’s name was changed mistakenly. Although I questioned the whole lies but he said that would be the only way they could grand me the visa as they would serve as home ties. And he is the same man sponsoring me.

Now that I want to apply for study permit myself without lies and with legit documents, I’m afraid they might check my history.

Please I really need a candid advice from experience gurus here on what to do and how to explain this to the VO.

Has anyone had same issues and was offered study permit?

Please someone should answer me as I have asked several people but no head way and the last person I spoke to directed me here.

Please this is not nice for anyone to be using as a case study. The guy was good enough to open up everything in this forum. If you have answer, suggestions or advice then give, not to castigate him. The guy is looking for a solution that's why he ran here. I believe most people here are in the same shoes but just can't open up or be truthful to themselves because it's not pleasant to the ear.
I have a friend in Philippines who was previously denied of tourist visa to USA and also over stayed in the USA when finally granted, but she was still granted a Canadian student visa without rejection.

It's not just Nigeria these thing happen.

From the guy's statements, I believe he wasn't happy with the lies and he wasn't the one that submitted the application. I think when applying for USA visa you don't submit or upload documents apart from your passport. The only thing is the marriage, employment stuff and the mother's name.

Please do not castigate, rather provide solution and if you don't have solution, pass.

My thought tho

Luckymama:


They will definitely check the previous statements. That’s what background check is all about. I am not that experienced so I don’t know whether to advise you to stick to your lies or confess and beg for forgiveness. The gurus will soon be here.
