The kid is supposed to have his own application number nd iuc num. so send a webform as a representative and tell ur story and what u want and input the kid’s numbers

@bamz555

Be truthful in everything and nothing they won’t still find out, so why hide it?

Seyola16:
Less than a month, please can you please give more clarity. You mean the lump sum entered and you explained?
Or the statement have been collected for over few weeks before submission?

The lump sum of 20m was proceed from landed property sold. The documents and conveyance deed was provided. Plus d account was less than a month, newly opened when it was submitted. Opened on 18th, submitted application 8th d following month.
But I explained why new account and I supported with evidence.

Seyola16:
Dear all, Please what is the maximum duration a bank statement can stay before using it for application? I mean from the date of collection/print out?

3 weeks

zubizareta:
Has anyone here or know anyone that got study permit approval using 1 or 2 months old statement of account.?

I used less than a month for my spouse

Good evening house

Is it possible for biometric letter to be delayed? It’s been 5 days that my husband submitted application for us, he is the PA while myself and son r accompanying him. My own biometric letter is out( 2nd day) but his own is not yet released.
What could be wrong please?
Is it normal?

It happens sometimes don’t worry, be calm it will be out soon.

I have been following this thread but I am still not certain of how to present my POF when the time comes. I have proceeds from my land sale + some savings totaling about N25m which I want to fully deploy for Canada study. But I put this money as fixed deposit because it doesn’t make sense for the money to be idle. If I liquidate the full amount into my account before I submit my bank statement and also submit the land sale documents explaining the lump sum, will it fly with the VO?

Yes it will. With sufficient proof nd detailed SOP

akinloluazeez:
My application was denied a couple of weeks ago:
Reason: Assets and financial situation …

I used Microfinance Bank for a year fixed deposit (18.5m) to be liquidated by April, including my MBS (Gtb Salary account with 500k).
I have requested GCMS notes, but I think the reason for denial is either the fund is insufficient, or the fixed deposit wasn’t welcomed.

2 years program Tuition = 29k
Living expenses 1 year = 10k
Health care fees =1k
Expiration of LOA = June 5

Guru in the house, your advice is needed: If I liquidate the fixed deposit, credit my GTB account within 2 weeks, and print out my account statement for my 2nd application, will it fly? Your advice pls…

It will work, with a detailed and explanatory SOP accompanied with proofs nd evidence

Rexceedo:
Please house help me out.

I can help with payment if u want.

Hello everyone. I will be grateful for anyone who can help me with this clarification in filling the imm1294e form. I have an annual funding support of 9000CAD from a Canadian university. This equals18000 CAD for the 2years. However, in my Letter of Acceptance from , only the 1st year funding of 9000CAD is indicated by the university. Note : in my Scholarship Letter from the university, the funding details for the 2years is written which when added together is 18000CAD. Hence, which amount should I add to my personal funding in the im1294e form? Is it the 9000 CAD of 1yr or the 18000 CAD of 2yrs. Thank you.

The 18000CAD. Be sure to upload the LOA nd d sponsorship letter together plus also upload d sponsorship letter on the POF segment

Army2022:
Others have already given you enough advice , but I'll add a little.
I'll suggest, let your mom do the gift deed.
(Don't make the mistake of sending your mom the money through the same account you're using as SOA)
*you can open a new account or use your second account.
*Have your sponsor transfer the money to it, *Go to the bank with your mom, transfer it to her, then let your mom transfer it to your main account ( the one you're using as SOA)
Remember You don't need your mom's SOA, the gift deed is enough.
This process won't take you more than 1hr to complete.
(Note* in your sop, your mom could be a retired anything or a big farmer, a trader etc)

2) Everyone is adviced to write a good SOP (make yours very very interesting to read)

3) I hope your course of study aligns with your job Very important.

Brilliant suggestion! It will definitely work. From her story I even think she has more things to worry about than this POF

harley4:
seniors,

if PA applies for study visa and the spouse applies for visitor visa simultaneously, on arriving to Canada after some a month, can the spouse change her status to SOWP while the PA is still studying.

Please help.

Why u wan go market go use ur money buy wahala come your house?
PA apply for SP nd let spouse apply for SOWP straight up once and for all. Save urself stress!

Ascomed0:
How can I use his account as sponsor? Because I don't think he has anything in his account Oooo. My account is better than his account

Where will I say he got that kind of money? You know how Nigerians survive na. I don't need to open all my family secrets here

If I transfer the 10m to his account, 4 months statement will show it's a lump sum. Abi? Please enlighten me. I need help. Seriously

@Ascomed0
U don’t have any problem, u have enough funds for ur program, u don’t need a sponsor with that amount, u don’t need anything else from him, the gift deed is enough. U don’t need to go register any company now. Just say d truth, u have a genuine nd reasonable story.
As far as this matter is concerned, u have sorted POF.
Now bother urself about how to construct a good, emotional, convincing and strong SOP.
And hometies should be ur major concern now dear. Comot mouth for POF matter lol

Ascomed0:
Good day

I am about to start my application and these are my problems

Basic: Going for a 1 year Diploma because I never went to University. Just some professional cosmetics training


1. I am 26 years old single lady
2. I own an unregistered cosmetic store and my account balance is less than N800,000
3. My sponsor is not related to me at all
4. He wants to transfer my tuition and living expenses to me but he said he can't give me documents that relates to him
5. Sponsor is not ready to say anything about his source of funds or anything like that
6. Sponsor said he can only give me gift deeds of 10m. He won't give me his statement of account or provide any details pertaining to him.
6. I don't have another option


Questions

1. How do I proof the source of my 800k since my business is not registered and I use my personal account for payments
2. Will just my sponsor's gift deed suffice?



3. There's nothing in my bank statement. Because people send me money small small. Like 10k 50k 100k. So nothing is there if I submit 4 or 6 months bank statement.

4. My admission is for September. I've paid 1000 CAD advance tuition. And what's left in my account is about 800k




5. I am just tired. Poor man's child is so frustrated.


What can I do?

I don’t think u have a problem here
Good thing it’s a 1 year program
Another good thing is he’s willing to gift u 10m
Check how much ur tuition is. Plus miscellaneous of 4k nd 11k living expenses. Multiply it by 345/cad. See if u have enough, nd I’m guessing u will have enough. So the remaining work is on ur SOP plus hometies

This is my profile below:
I'm in my second year of studying agricultural science in Nigerian Versity, but due to the incessant ASUU strikes, this is my 3rd year in school. I have no work experience beyond my volunteer experience with the Nigerian Red Cross. I have no car documentation or landed properties.

Do I need additional documents for my home ties to strengthen my application? I asked this question weeks ago.

Now, what if my spouse wants to go through the master's route, and with my profile stated above, what can I use as home ties?

Thank you gurus in the house 🙏

U have enough home ties already bro. Membership of a voluntary organization (Red Cross 👍🏼) plus ur spouse too. Those are good home ties if u can do good justice in ur sop

Have you had a similar challenge?
I dont want to leave it all chance.

Hi guys..

I seriously need your advice.

I tried the care job route last month.

I did ielts ( general UKVI)-scored band 6
TB test
I did some care course online and in Nigeria and got 2 work reference so I can use it to support my application.

The problem started when some video surfaced online that UK is no more accepting care workers from Nigeria.

My sister that wanted to fund the travel opted out because she was scared.

Now I don't want my ielts and TB test to waste like that.


I need advice on a country I can apply to and do it myself with a saving of 3M..

I DONT WANT AGENT STUFF PLEASE

I will appreciate all your advice/ responses.

Maybe Ghana!
Lol that’s on d lighter note. My bro, 3m is highly insufficient for any western country especially if u planning study route (which u will not even need d IELTS test for) plus have u been told that even the IELTS test result u talking about is relatively low? (Don’t mean to talk u down).
Think about it, nd make up ur mind on what u want.

kennyjam:
Good day Everyone!
I need your help ASAP.

Please, who knows the complete procedure for getting a Student's (a with spouse) Visa from Nigeria to Canada?

Thank you!

Let me know where exactly u have challenge

I'm Ghanaian and new here. I've been refused twice.

I have known about Nairaland since 2008, but I never really explored this website until this year (2023). I have been amazed to see the amount of help people receive here, although I am not surprised because during my 9 years in China, Nigerians were more sincere, straightforward and helpful to me than Ghanaians (sad but true).

Going through the Travel Threads, to see Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22... Part 22? And even with that, page 1035 wow

This includes assessing whether you are coming to Canada temporarily for the reason(s) you describe in your application. I have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) (https://lawslois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/I-2.5/index.html) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/index.html). I am refusing your application.

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as required by paragraph R216(1)(b) of the IRPR (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/ section-216.html). I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will leave Canada, based on the following factors:

• Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).

• The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application.

• You do not have significant family ties outside Canada.

Text: Reviewed file,
PA seeks to study in Canada at Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology
PA has provided proof of funds via self. PA has indicated no current employment on their application. Bank statements show limited funds, no history of funds accumulation aside from a couple large deposits. No provenance of funds provided. Additional foreign currency account also with large deposits, limited history of funds accumulation and no provenance of funds. Also provided a account from outside home country with a volatile balance. Over all, on balance, upon review of the documents I am not satisfied that the PA has access to the funds as per the evidence and that the large deposits in multiple accounts are not made for show.

The applicant's planned studies do not appear reasonable when reviewing their past study and employment history (Given PA's previous educational attainment and length of time of work experience, proposed level/field of studies at this stage of his/her career does not make logical sense in advancing career trajectory. I am not satisfied that this course of study is a reasonable extension of already obtained credentials and work experience and that this application is made for bona fide study.

PA is young, mobile and appears to have limited ties to their home country. I am not satisfied that the PA would have grounds to leave Canada at the end of their authorized period. In light of the above, Application refused.

Text: I have reviewed the application.
I have considered the following factors in my decision.
I am not satisfied that the applicant would leave Canada at the end of their stay as a temporary resident. Given the lack of economic motives to remain in home country, the applicant's incentives to remain in Canada may outweigh their ties to their home country.
Based on the financial documents submitted, I am not satisfied that the applicant has sufficient funds to pay the fees for the proposed studies.
The applicant is sponsored by third party. The sponsor's relationship to the PA not well substantiated.

I am not satisfied that the applicant will have access to sufficient funds to cover the costs for tuition and upkeep.
Based on the financial documents submitted, I am not satisfied that the applicant has sufficient funds to pay for living expenses for the proposed studies. Weighing the factors in this application. I am not satisfied that the applicant will depart Canada at the end of the period authorized for their stay. For the reasons above, have refused this application.

Good day everyone. My husband and I applied for Canada visitor visa Nov 2020. I did the whole application. Two days ago I received a mail from immigration that my husband was not sincere about his response to if he has been denied a visa by Canada or another country. The truth is he applied for a us visa long before we were married and i didn’t know about it: Like I said earlier I filled the application form for him which I unintentionally denied he was refused any visa. But now I am to reply immigration within 10days to explain. Please any help on how I can reply?

What u need to do is tell d truth. But I don’t see how u gonna explain u submitted the application without ur spouse knowledge or consent. Just state that it was an honest omission nd mistake plus u didn’t think it would matter because it happened a long time ago even before u got married to him plus it was just a refusal without any prejudice (or did he do anything fraudulent to warrant d refusal?). Apologies and promise next time u will be more diligent and careful.

Edmondvic:
Hello, I’m planning to start my study permit process for my self and visitor visa for my wife and baby. I have paid a tuition deposit of $10k and a closing balance of 11m which is equivalent to $30k.
Please, do you think this will be enough for proof of fund or am I eligible to start the application with my family?

Pls I strongly advice u apply for Spouse Open Work Permit (SOWP) for ur spouse, not visit visa.
To determine if it will be enough, what’s d duration of ur program nd how much is tuition fee?

Bernice123456:


Please which portal did you use to fill your family application. I don't know how to use the GCKey portal.
