Good evening evening.
I've been following this thread for a while. Thank you all for the information shared.

My eligibility review finally started today��. First time applicant. Applied on the 31st of December, 2020. Biometrics captured and updated on 4th of January, 2021. Didn't get NSE request.

Hopefully this gives someone an update as to where IRCC are on the applications.

Wish all hopefuls all the best. As always, it shall end in praise.

I wish you all the very best.


It shall end in praise.

Good Morning,

These are my opinions

I doubt if you would be able to convince a Visa Officer that your Purpose of Visit to Canada is to study based on your intentions.

Going for a B.SC is a Wrong Career Progression
for you since you already have an HND Degree.

If you hide your HND during your Visa Application, it would raise lots of suspicion to a Visa Officer e.g Age Gap, Study Gap etc.

Age
I don't know your age , but B.SC in Canada is for those within the age range of 17-24.

Your Academic Qualification (if you don't mention your HND Degree) might Clash With your Job Qualification
Your qualification to work as a Business
Developer would be suspicious to a Visa Officer , cos they can assume it is impossible to be in that position with an High School Certificate (WAEC)


Your Best Shot To Increase your Visa Chances is this

With your HND, you are expected to go for a PG.Cert in Marketing Related Degree (based in your HND degree) or PG. Cert in a Business related program (based on your Job at NBC and other marketing/business related Jobs you have done in the past after your HND). There are loads of colleges in Canada offering the above PG. CERT PROGRAMS.

Doing the above, too a reasonable extent, a Visa Officer would be convinced your intentions to come to Canada to Study is GENUINE

DO AWAIT MORE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM OTHER MEMBERS OF THIS THREAD

This Canada study permit is really stressing we Nigerians.
Someone at the age of 40 can decide to go for bsc or even for diploma courses,its no body's business. One can finish bsc and decides to go for another bsc,honestly I can decides that.
I blame our leaders that created all these problems for we youths.

When I was applying for my diploma degree in one of the colleges in NL, one of the requirements to apply is that I must have gone to a higher institution for not less than 3years which means I can use bsc or HND to apply to get a diploma cert. If there is no career progression, why such requirements. How can someone be denied a study permit after giving admission and paying tuition fee. I believe that Schools should work with Embassy before giving admission.

This personal assets and finance Visa officers are requesting, is it for someone at the age of 25years who want to study that they are asking! Even in their place, how many people under 30 years can boast of landed properties,their citizens go to school with loans.

Upon after providing these requirements, NSE will come up with their own, they will still delay and refuse applicant the opportunity after several months. I really blame our bad government for all these humiliation and stress this Canadian VOs are causing us.

My points though, not writing to impress or go against anyone's views or points. I just decided to pour out my mind.

TundeTheHunter:
Any degree, diploma or certificate qualifies for NSE. The minimum IELTS score required for NSE is a 6.0 in each of the 4 categories. You do not need to include an IELTS report for a regular study permit application, so why include it all? I think you should just leave it out since you are not applying via NSE.

I applied for a college diploma too and submitted study visa application since 29th of March but I haven't gotten a message from NSE. My sponsor has more than $60k bal. which qualifies me for NSE. Though I'm happy I didn't get their message. Does my college diploma qualifies me?

Rootiab:
the hotel people I called but double beds instead of single

lol. Double bed doesn't mean the bed are too, it means the bed is spacious and can contain, maybe a couple or two people. If you're a guy and you happen to see a lady to join you, omo the quarantine go make sense for double bed. Lol.

Frankrobbn1:
You apply for the both at same time when preparing your study permit application. There is an online questionnaire that ask if work is a component of your program, you're to tick YES and a column where you can upload evidence of work placement letter will pop up on your CIC account.



It will end in praise

yawa don gas o. Please Frankrobbn1 I need more light on this. On that online questionnaire that ask if work is a component of your program, I ticked no and I have submitted since march 9th. What should I do?

Ade2303:
Not all Nigerian banks have $100 limits, banks like stanbic ibtc, eco, fidelity can still pay more than $100, but it must either be Visa Card or MasterCard, Verve won’t work, I hope it helps.

It will end in prays��

I have Fidelity Master card, yet I couldn't pay for application and when I asked,still the same $100 limit reason.

Onweke:
I used the school for my first application that was delayed. I requested for admission deferral to Sept 2021 she rejected the request that I should pay for another application fee which I did and the admission took almost 5 months, by feb 2021 when it came out I have already gotten admission in another school and applied for student visa in January 2021. The CNA acceptance letter is in my email It's not necessary anymore. Like Frankrobbn told me to avoid that school. Look for another school. Jordan Chanda will delay you.

Honestly speaking, I was not delayed in getting admission there,and my mails were all replied very fast. The only that happened was that I was deferred to this year September. Even with my poor waec grades, I was accepted though with good higher institution grades. But why did Frankrobbn ask you to avoid the school, can you tell me?

Amycanada:
Hello everyone, who has gotten an offer letter from CNA( college of the North Atlantic, Newfoundland and Labrador) for Fall intake?
When did you apply and which course?

I have gotten admission from CNA. I applied last year before the lockdown and was given admission, I was differed from last September to this September. This school is really good and affordable. Are you having issues with the school?

ILoveDLord:
Which payment? Tuition or visa application?

Visa application fee.

Please who can help out with my application payment o. I don't have the credit card to pay for it.

Hi lovely people.
What do I fill here; 1 Room and Board?, 2. Service in? 3. For this trip,will you use a national Israeli passport? 4. Will use passport issued by ministry of foreign affairs in Taiwan that includes your personal identification number? Someone should help with answers. Thanks.

HipheeO:

Started from the previous thread, and this is where I got the needed info and direction that I used for the application. Started ffw since August last yr.

March 24 - BVL and PPR!!!

-Sponsors- hubby and self. All funds in mutual funds. My cash flow in my acct was consistent tho, not like I had millions sitting in the naira account, but you ll see salary come in.
-No property attached (I didn't have then, I was initially worried about this, but I put it God's hands.
-Attached my letter from work and ID
-Hubby's ID,letter from work,statement of account, sponsorship affidavit and letter
-My car ownership docs
-My pension statement
-Offer letter of a new job upon return
-Volunteer letter showing I currently volunteer at the new job
-BSc certificate and transcript, nysc certificate
-Certificate of courses I had taken in proposed study,which includes 2 LinkedIn courses by the way.
-Then professional membership of proposed study

Program: PGC - Business Analytics
Admission: initially Winter 2021- March start date, then deferred to Spring 2021 - May start date, when visa didn't show on-time
My BSc which I had a 2.1 in, current work and proposed study are not in the same field. But... the proposed study is what I really really want to do. I passionately wrote about it in my LOE, the benefits and job prospects. Showed what I have done to upskill myself in relation to the proposed study, taken courses and volunteering role. The new offer of employment is also in the field of proposed study.
So basically, I think it's about being able to convince the VO, your study should have a logical and feasible end. Infact,I got an MBA admission, but I decided to go with the PGC, because I could speak more to my reasons for pursuing that. I don't think my SOP would have been as solid for the MBA.  Play to your strength, put your best foot forward.Pray, pray and pray.
So I hope this encourages someone.
What God cannot do doesn't exist!!!
It has ended in praise!

congratulations. I tap from your blessing.

Heroulo:
You get it after you submit your application, as a first time applicant.

thanks a lot. In that case, I will not fill UCI column?

Good afternoon everyone.
Please to some of you that have applied, how do I get my UCI no, they didn't send it to me when I was signing up. Please help o, its urgent.

[quote author=Teenie19 post=100136875]I think you have to print that and then complete it and scan it in. To open it, right click on the document and choose "save downloaded file as". You also need to have Adobe acrobat DC. [/quolte] Thank you so much for this information. God bless you.

Good evening lovely people.
I'm on my application now but a little headache. Please how do get the temporal resident visa made outside Canada form and family information form to download and fill? Help o, so that my headache can reduce. Thanks

Hi lovely people. Does anyone know other means of paying for visa application without the use of credit card?

RichieJayy:
Mine actually does have the TRF number.

good morning lovely people. This is my opinion; I don't think that embassy is an academic body to start verifying results, before any school gives you admission, they would have verified the authenticity of your results, they should stop making things difficult for Nigerians. I'm using my statement of result which is verifiable online, the code to verify it is there, I have also written LOE to explain to them, I also wrote my school website which is on my result, my username and password to check the results. To order for transcript takes time and money.

Heroulo:
1- if its a dollar/pounds card, yes

2 - Yes, if you’re a first time applicant

3- 91 - 92k as of today, using the official lagos market.

thanks so much. The information is very useful.

Gurus in the house,una well-done o. Please can I use my MasterCard to pay for visa application? 2. I think we are paying for biometrics as well?3. How much is the total package in naira?

Rootiab:
so happy for you. We'd meet in Canada

Congratulations... It has ended in praise. I tap from your blessing, in Jesus name. Amen.

Frankrobbn1:
Transcripts is a very essential document to be included alongside your application package when applying for a study visa to Canada. Even though, there are a few number of applicants who were successful without including their transcripts with their application, I would urge you to include it. I recently noticed a new refusal reason from the immigration of Canada, which is often as a result of "missing marksheets/transcripts" to show progression for the chosen course of study. To play on a safe path with your two eyes closed, its advisable to include one.


With respect to your second question, the amount in your account matters a lot in your visa application and further demonstrate your personal financial establishment. If you're a matured applicant and in gainful employment for the past 3 years and above, its very important to show substantial proof of funds on your part irrespective of the fact of being sponsored by a family member.


I hope this information satisfies your enquires.


It will end in praise

Thanks Frankrobbn1 for your good responses. I have statement of result which represents my transcript, I think. This statement of result can be found on my school portal,online. I will also provide means of checking the result online. 2. I'm a matured student, I have a good statement of account but very poor closing balance and that's why I decided to use my uncle. Please, I need clarification on this. Thanks.

Good evening everyone in the house.
Please I need an urgent answers from the gurus here. 1. Can I submit my application without transcript? 2. Does the amount in my account matters when I have a good sponsor? 3. I'm applying for study visa during the week, how do I start? I'm not using agent, just me. Thanks

Good evening honourable members in the house. I want to know if I can apply for study visa like by this month for fall (September) intake? Can I also apply without landed property or building from my sponsor? Your advice is needed, please. Thanks.
