Hello good day, please can i use this to reapply or it has expired? It expired last month for the 3 month notice on it.

Generally, a police clearance is not required for a study permit application, but it’s nice to have one but not needed, and being one month expired is not a big issue https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/police-certificates/when.html

First time in history. You didn't use AI to reply question

Yes, I used AI to correct my grammar before posting. You should do it more often.

So what I do is this I don’t type I use Windows speech-to-text (press Windows key + Alt + H). People wonder how I have time to type so much, but I actually do not as my voice does most of the typing. Naturally, there will be grammatical errors.

So I correct them using Gemini before posting. Yes, I use AI to fix my sentences after using speech-to-text.

So my question is: do you have a problem with that?

2k CAD is not enough.

You can't do the bare minimum and expect to get a favorable feedback.

Remember you are competing for limited study permit approvals with applicants from all over the world.

If the school didn't tell you explicitly not to pay more than 2k CAD, my advise is always that you endeavor to pay the full tuition fee for the first year.

It addresses the concern of the visa officer that, you may not have access to the funds from your sponsor's POF when needed.

It also goes a long way to demonstrate extra commitment.

All the best.

The reason schools ask for 10% -15% ( which in this case is 2k) of the first-year tuition as an acceptance fee is that, if your visa gets rejected, they can refund that amount to you.

Sometimes, the school only guarantees a refund of that portion....anything beyond it may not be refunded.

So yes, the $2K is enough. But before you pay more than what they ask, email them to confirm whether they will refund any extra amount if your visa gets rejected......

do not pay more than that except the school tells you to If not, you might not get the full amount back beyond the $2K they asked you to pay.

For example, if the school says to pay $2K and you pay $10K instead, if your visa is rejected, they may refund the $10K.....but it likely won’t be the full amount maybe the school will take $1k out of it

Yes of course. A number of people do that with success stories.

You are always making this a big deal. It's not to genuine visitors. I didn't have to provide any information on "Why Canada?" I've also been involved in 2 other applications that booked hotel and applied as tourists and no thesis-like explanation. Just the usual explanation of purpose and planned activities similar to visa applications to other countries. One of them with few travel history to Europe came out in exactly 1 month while the other came out in less than 3 weeks (this one had active US visa though).

this one had active US visa though You already answered your own question 😂

Having an active U.S. visa gives you leverage when applying for other visas… so what exactly are you saying?

Please read before you respond.

Did you see asylum in the post I quoted?

The person I quoted said typically ,people won’t visit Canada purposely for vacation, and that’s a lie.

People visit Canada for tourism , even if they don’t have any family member to invite them.

That was how he said you shouldn’t apply for visitors visa if you don’t have at least, 45k Canadian dollars as POF.

Stop making it look like a big deal

Applying for Canadian visa is just like applying for any other country visa with same status as Canada, just that it takes time to get a response.

I see people still remember what I said that you should have a business connected to a substantial amount of money as proof of funds, and that ₦45 million is a good starting point to show in your account 😂

But honestly, up till today no one has clearly told me what a “good” amount for proof of funds for a visitor visa really is.

Anyway, remember Iam just a guy typing you shouldn’t take me too seriously. I always type rubbish and don’t know what I am talking about 😅

Good Evening All,
please can my brother in-law be my sponsor for a master degree course under Management?

He lives in Germany but has enough POF
in his Nigeria account

I will also add this: your in-law is in Germany, but his bank account is in Nigeria

You should understand that you are not just submitting a bank statement.

IRCC wants to know who your sposor is, How they made the money and why they are sponsoring you

thats why people use parents or as bad as it bad brother or sister as sponsor because it already answers those questions

You also need to submit your in-law’s employment letter or proof of business...preferably tax returns, as they carry more weight.

If he states that he is in Germany, it may raise concerns about your home ties. He will also need to provide proof of residency to show that he is legally living and working in Germany.

Even beyond that, you still have to answer the main question: why does your in-law want to sponsor you?

In my opinion, this situation doesn’t look strong. It will be difficult to justify why your in-law is sponsoring you, and it could raise doubts for the visa officer.

Amara97:
Good Evening All,
please can my brother in-law be my sponsor for a master degree course under Management?

He lives in Germany but has enough POF
in his Nigeria account

The answer is Yes and NO I have answer before so I will just copy the answer and paste it here

IRCC may see it this way: why would an in-law use their own money even if they have £1 million in their account as proof of funds to sponsor their wife’s or husband’s sibling?

if you can answer that question you will get the visa except that its going to be back to back rejection

In many Western countries, financial responsibility is usually limited to the immediate family, unlike in some African cultures where extended family support is more common and that's how IRCC is seeing you and your inlaw......

some other questions:

What was the in-law’s final account balance?
How much does the in-law earn?
What are their current financial obligations and expenses?
did your inlaw send the money for POF to your account ?
Did you and your in-law clearly explain, in writing, why they are sponsoring you?

Sometimes, additional documents are needed to answer a simple question: why would someone use money meant for their immediate family to support an in-law’s travel to Canada?

Another one

Once you can properly answer the big question..why the in-law wants to sponsor you......that is when the chances of getting the visa improve. Aside from that, nothing else really matters as much.

The in-law should ideally show a history of supporting the applicant in the past, but many people don not have that.

One strong approach I always say is for the in-law to pay the acceptance fee (usually about 15% of the first-year tuition) before applying for the visa.

This payment can be submitted as proof to the visa officer, showing that the in-law is genuinely willing to sponsor and has already taken action. It helps.........but it’s not everything.

The in-law should also provide this details it helps IRCC to know more about the inlaw:

Tax records for the past 3 years
A letter clearly explaining why they are sponsoring (this must directly answer the “WHY”)
Business tax documents or an employment letter showing income
Proof of sufficient savings, with a clear source that matches their income
Proof of their immigration status in their country of residence
A breakdown of their financial obligations, showing they can sponsor without financial strain

Inlaw need to give IRCC more than they are asking way way more

Everything has to add up logically like if someone is reading it it should make so much sence....

Sometimes, the issue is not even the documents themselves it’s how they are presented. Even with a good explanation, if the paperwork is not properly done, rejection is very likely.

Good evening
Can anyone recommend University to study mechanical engineering for master with low tuition fee?🙏

The best school with the lowest tuition you can consider is Memorial University of Newfoundland.

For a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering, you’re looking at:
https://www.mun.ca/become/graduate/programs-and-courses/engineering-and-applied-science/

MEng (Master of Engineering) $1,074–$1,611 per semester

Total (1–2 years / 3–6 semesters): $3,222–$9,666 CAD

If you read the link above, they mention minimum funding of $18,000, but this is not guaranteed for all students..........especially for course-based MEng programs. Even without funding, it is still one of the cheapest options available.

AbelAbdul:
1. Showing more funds and the funds stays in your account (you only pay deposit fee)

2. Paying one year fee.

Which of the above is more advisable?

My school said as it stands, the can't tell how I would need to pay for one year tuition as my course is paid per-credit and not flat rate. And to know how much I need to pay I have to register my course and registration starts July.

Secondly my school gave me two letters.
1. Conditional offer letter which was issued in February.

2. All Conditions Met Letter which was issued last month.

When I requested for LOA, my admission advisor said I can use the second letter issued to apply for visa.

You typically cannot pay the full one-year tuition upfront. Schools usually require you to pay a portion of the fees as an acceptance deposit...often around 15% of first year fee its sometimes part of the admission condition .

This is usually part of the conditions outlined in your admission offer. From my experience and from what others have shared, this is the standard approach.....but your school might be different

Yes, you can use the “all conditions met” letter to apply for your visa, as long as the school has confirmed it. That said, could you share what conditions were included in the offer letter you received in February?

Hello all,

Please i have a question.

Since i do not have any family member in Canada who can issue me an invitation letter and wish to visit the country just for sightseeing, can I apply for a visiting visa as a tourist?

I checked the IRCC visitor's visa page that there is a category for such (see attached) but i just want to throw it open here to see if anyone has apply and received a positive feedback under this category.

Thanks,

Yes ...... but you have to make your case strong by answering one key question: Why Canada?

Typically, people don’t visit Canada for vacations (lol, you get what I mean). So if you don’t have family members to send you an invitation letter .....which is not necessarily a problem ....... you need to strengthen your profile in other ways.

If you have a solid travel history, especially multiple trips outside Nigeria, that helps. But regardless, the most important thing is clearly answering that one question:

Why Canada?

Your answer has to be convincing, logical, and aligned with your goals of visiting....don't say world cup if you havenot visited the Uk to watch a foodball match in the past or have a history of going to cities when worldcup is happening in them

henrohero:
My brother was recently admitted for his bachelor's degree in Canada. My mom will be his sponsor. She currently has about 25m naira in her account. We should be able to pay his full tuition (25,000 CAD) upfront before applying for his visa. My question is, will paying his full tuition increase his visa chances? Also, will 25m naira be a good POF if the full tuition is paid upfront?

Thank you!

SOPWriter has given you an excellent answer.

I would like to add some more context to help you better understand the situation.

It’s not just about school fees the applicant will also need to cover living expenses. So you should be thinking in terms of school fees + living expenses.

In most cases, to have a stronger application, it’s advisable to show more funds than the minimum required.

Also, keep in mind that all money presented as POF must be traceable to a legitimate source, such as a job or business.

You will need to provide supporting documents to remove any doubts about the origin of the funds for example, tax records, sales records, employment letters, or business registration documents.

25 million naira is not enough. You should also demonstrate that after paying one year of school fees, you still have sufficient funds remaining, or that your mum job or business generates enough income to support the remaining years of your brother’s education.

Let’s assume an exchange rate of 1 CAD = 1,000 naira.

For your brother’s visa, he needs a minimum of $22,895 CAD for living expenses, plus at least the first year of tuition. Based on your estimate of about $25,000 CAD for tuition, that brings the total to approximately $47,895 CAD.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/get-documents/financial-support.html

When I say a single applicant should ideally show around $60,000 CAD, some people think it’s excessive, but it’s actually a safer starting point.

Also remember that a Bachelor’s (BSc) program is generally more expensive than a Master’s degree......

Regarding your question about paying school fees, you should confirm directly with the school the initial deposit required to secure admission. Schools usually require a specific amount to keep the admission active.

Typically, this is around 10% to 15% of the first-year tuition. Make sure that if this payment is made from the sponsor’s account, it clearly shows that the sponsor has full access to the funds and that the money is intended for tuition and living expenses.

I know it can be a lot but this is what is needed to move forward

alright. Thanks for the clarification.

Please can someone who is not a family member sponsor me?

Yes, but the person has to answer this critical question:

(1) out of over 239 million people in Nigeria in 2026, why are they sponsoring you?

(2) And does that person have a history of sponsoring you? paying your bachelor degree fee you must show proof of that

Those two questions are the hardest part.

That’s why it’s better to use a close family member...father, mother, or sometimes a brother or sister......because everything else becomes difficult to explain around those two points.

Whuch province is better for the PNP?

One size does not fit all, so you have to find what works best for you.

However, one thing I always emphasize is that it’s often better to choose a program in a province where a Master’s degree can directly qualify you for a PNP stream....its just giving yourself a better advantage....

In some cases, the specific course doesn’t matter as long as it’s a Master’s degree. The only downside is how frequently draws are conducted.

Let me explain.

On March 18, Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) invited Master’s and PhD graduates for the first time since 2024. Imagine someone who has been waiting that long, relying on this as their only pathway.....it can be very stressful. https://www.ontario.ca/page/2026-ontario-immigrant-nominee-program-updates#section-0 so do not put all your eggs in one basket

1. Ontario Master’s Graduate Stream

You do not need a job offer or work experience to qualify. However, you must have studied in Ontario.

This is usually the easiest and most popular option. Requirements are relatively straightforward: CLB 7 and Proof of residency in Ontario

A lot of people benefit from this stream.....but its no frequent draws

2. British Columbia

In British Columbia, no job offer is required after graduation but it is limited to specific fields:

Natural sciences, Applied sciences and Health sciences. If your Master’s is not in one of these areas, you will not qualify

Most other provinces have graduate streams, but they typically require: A job offer, or Work experience, or Employer support....
I remember in 2024 when people where living ontario to Saskatchewan for PR purpose watch her video from 0.45
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqIfA1p1Zkw

The advantage is that they tend to have more frequent draws compared to Ontario and British Columbia.

Keep in mind that everything is subject to change. For example, British Columbia’s stream was not field-specific before 2023/2024, but it was later updated to focus on Natural Sciences, Applied Sciences, and Health Sciences... now you need a one year work experience in the field you went to school with in BC if its not among the mentioned one........

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WsX3sU3dtQ

Quebec, Nunavut, and some Atlantic streams do not offer clear, direct PR pathways specifically for Master’s graduates.

I might wake up today and the government changes the rule hahahahah that's how they are so as a said one size does not fit all

How can one get 500 CRS points?
Which job(s) or skill(s) is in-demand right now in Canada?

Before coming to Canada If your purpose is to stay in Canada after schooling and your Post graduate work permit

I want you to use the CRS calculator to determine your exact points without studying or working in Canada.

Then, do another calculation assuming you study and work in Canada for 3 years.

If, after comparing both results, you still don’t reach 500 points for CEC, you should think twice and consider focusing on PNP, French, or category-based draws.

I have never discouraged anyone.

The truth is bitter. If I remember correctly, the person had just graduated from a school that does not qualify for a PGWP and wanted to know their options.

I advised that the person should apply to another school that offers a PGWP after graduation that’s the only realistic option.

the person mentioned school is expensive.....

Someone mentioned an LMIA, and I explained that while it’s possible, it’s very difficult to secure an LMIA job, especially since that sector has been heavily abused....by indians check facebook market place

So the options are: a new school or go back to MM1.

The bill passed yesterday, so anyone who thinks they can use a visitor visa to come to Canada and claim asylum like before should know that it is now more difficult than it used to be.

What has mainly changed is that most people may only get a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) instead of a full hearing.

Let me explain this is something your Telegram, Facebook, and WhatsApp groups will never tell you.

Normally, if someone claims asylum in Canada, their case goes to the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada:

(1) They get a full hearing
(2) They can tell their story in person
(3) They can bring a lawyer, evidence, and witnesses
(4) An independent decision maker decides their case

Now, under Bill C-12 (in some situations), some people won’t get that full hearing anymore.

Instead, they may only get a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA).

A PRRA is a paper-based risk assessment done by an immigration officer at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. They basically ask:

If we send this person back to their country, will they face danger?

A PRRA is much weaker than a full hearing:
Things your telegram and Facebook group will not tell you

(A) It’s harder to prove your case
(B) There is no opportunity to explain things verbally
(C) Decisions rely heavily on paperwork
(D) You may need a very strong (and often expensive) lawyer to prepare your documents
(E) There is a higher risk of refusal

PRRA is usually used as a last check before deportation, not as a full refugee process.

So this change means that Most people will go from having a full legal hearing to only getting a final risk assessment before being sent home.

I just decided to share this information, even though no one asked me to...

its not longer in House of Commons/senate its now the law as of Yesterday

https://www.parl.ca/LegisInfo/en/bill/45-1/C-12

You know that I don’t say what I don’t know or haven’t verified.

If your agent is still selling you the dream that asylum is possible, think twice. IRCC today has started to share Procedural Fairness Letters under Bill C-12.

Expect stricter implementation and closer enforcement from here on. I said I would share updates

I recently stumbled on your page and I must say it is quite revealing and interestingly educative,

Kindly give your opinion on my matter,
As a graduate of Guidance and Counseling with 2:1 what is my best option in diploma courses and how many dependents can go with me

Thanks

When you ask a question, try as much as possible to include all relevant details. It helps people here giving you the most accurate answer.

You asked: “How many dependents can go with me?”

My question is: who exactly are these dependents? Are you referring to your spouse, children, or others? Please specify them clearly it will help in providing the exact answer.

we do not know you so we answer from the details you are giving us but because I am a good guy I will give you the full details hahah

If you are referring to a spouse, then here is the current situation:

For students, the Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP) rules have changed recently.

Your spouse may be eligible for a SOWP only if you are studying in:

A Master’s degree program
A PhD program
Or certain professional degree programs (such as medicine or law) https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/notices/changes-open-work-permits-family-members-temporary-residents.html

If you are studying in: A college diploma, or a bachelor’s degree In most cases, your spouse will not be eligible for a SOWP anymore.

This is a recent restriction by IRCC.

also remember the cost in respect to POF required to bring additional dependant https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/get-documents/financial-support.html

If you are planning to bring only your children, then yes it is technically possible. However, the visa process can be quite expensive.

From experience, applying to bring all your children at once while you are still a student can increase the risk of visa refusal, especially if your financial capacity is not very strong. You and your husband/wife would need to clearly show sufficient funds to support everyone.

Hello ma and sir. I would need your opinion on this.

Recently completed my studies in Belgium. Everything is good here I must say, I can't complain.

Only problem is that getting sponsorship jobs after study to stay is difficult. Even if one can speak the language.

I checked Memorial University in New Foundland and saw a program I am qualified for. Tuition is reasonable too.

But my fear is job prospects after graduation and path to PR. And also if there are student jobs too in Canada to support me through my studies.

Have you heard anything about Newfoundland?

I already obtained a Masters in Development Evaluation here in Belgium and another from Nigeria in Public Administration.

I'm in my mid 30s

Memorial University of Newfoundland is one of the cheapest schools you can attend in Canada.

Right now, the Canadian job market is not what it was after 2021, but it still depends heavily on your skills and experience.

https://www.jobbank.gc.ca/trend-analysis
https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1410028703

As for PR, it is not guaranteed.......but nothing in life is guaranteed except death. So you have to plan wisely.

Think carefully about all your options. Check whether you currently qualify for any PR category-based draws.

If you come to Canada to study and later work, and you can get up to 500 CRS points, which may qualify you for a CEC draw after graduation if not you need to rethink about it.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/mandate/policies-operational-instructions-agreements/ministerial-instructions/express-entry-rounds.html

However, with current trends, scores may remain around that range for a long time, especially if you are not in an in-demand field.

The school itself is solid ranked among the top 30 universities in Canada.....and still one of the most affordable options.

When it comes to jobs, it depends on your skills. The Canadian job market is very competitive, but you can find a job if you have the right skills and are persistent. Just be prepared.........it may take time.

And again, PR is not guaranteed. Age is not on your side you will school and work for 3 years before you start looking at PR options, except you focus on category-based draws or a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) if you are coming to canada

Tax records for the past 3 years
A letter clearly explaining why they are sponsoring (this must directly answer the “WHY”)
Business tax documents or an employment letter showing income
Proof of sufficient savings, with a clear source that matches their income
Proof of their immigration status in their country of residence
A breakdown of their financial obligations, showing they can sponsor without financial strain

Inlaw need to give IRCC more than they are asking way way more

Everything has to add up logically like if someone is reading it it should make so much sence....

Sometimes, the issue is not even the documents themselves it’s how they are presented. Even with a good explanation, if the paperwork is not properly done, rejection is very likely.

Hello guys, I need input on this deny.
My guy was denied, he said he used he's inlaw that lives in the UK as a sponsor. He used pounds account. He is going for masters. He has deferred and will reapply. How should he arrange the supporting documents and POF. Thank you guys.

R216(1)(b) Assets : I am not satisfied that you have sufficient funds, including income or assets,
to carry out your stated purpose in coming to Canada or to maintain yourself while in Canada and
to effect your departure AND your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the
stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).

• R216(1)(b): Given the details you have provided in your application, I am not satisfied that your
purpose for coming to Canada is consistent with a temporary stay.

IRCC may see it this way: why would an in-law use their own money even if they have £1 million in their account as proof of funds to sponsor their wife’s or husband’s sibling?

if you can answer that question you will get the visa except that its going to be back to back rejection

In many Western countries, financial responsibility is usually limited to the immediate family, unlike in some African cultures where extended family support is more common and that's how IRCC is seeing you and your inlaw......

some other questions:

What was the in-law’s final account balance?
How much does the in-law earn?
What are their current financial obligations and expenses?
did your inlaw send the money for POF to your account ?
Did you and your in-law clearly explain, in writing, why they are sponsoring you?

Sometimes, additional documents are needed to answer a simple question: why would someone use money meant for their immediate family to support an in-law’s travel to Canada?
