SonOfaNobody:
Thank you thus far. Is it compulsory I submit my statement of account alongside his? Or I can just submit his alone?

You have full funding so it’s not necessary.

Dfazz:
Please I need help here

It’s not you sending your degree certificate. It must not come from you and that’s why it’s official. I don’t know about UNN but for Unilag, you have to make a colored copy of your degree cert and take it to the senate building, they would stamp and sign, then you pay an amount of money for courier and they dispatch it immediately. So you have to go to your school and do that.

SonOfaNobody:
Yes. Tuition is about 8k

You can use him as a sponsor then for your itineraries-flight and accommodation if you don’t have sufficient money for that in your account or prepare a deed of gift and have him transfer a reasonable sum to your account. The latter is more feasible.

SonOfaNobody:
Full. 18k+

Does the full funding cover tuition and living expenses.

SonOfaNobody:
Sure, I have. I'm more concerned about the sponsorship. I intend to use my uncle, do I have to include mine too? I do not have enough in it.

Is it full or partial funding?

SonOfaNobody:
Good day here, I have been following this thread for a while now.
I recently gained admission for my master's program at a university in Alberta, with funding.
I need guidance on the documents to provide for the study permit application. I'll be willing to answer questions further.

Why not read through the previous threads on the documents to submit and how to go about it. Then you can mention the documents you intend to personally submit and ask specific questions.

donnuel360:
Good morning everyone please can someone help and guide me through i am very new here and i have gone through some parts of this topic and i still dont understand the most basic things like applying for admission and how to go about it then applying for visa also and documents needed best school of choice and cost of living etc. i just finished NYSC service, graduated with B.eng mechanical engineering please ur help is much appreciated so that i can start drawing a feasible plan. thanks in anticipation

Google schools for masters program or post grad certificate depending on your CGPA that is suitable for your choice of program. All the documents to be submitted would be listed there. See the deadline and apply if you are within time. It’s until you get admission that you should talk about visa application.

Tomotunde:
I Didn’t handle the application and I was given a logging details which I use in checking the application status through GCkey

I honestly don’t know where or how to start the letter of explanation. Someone should help me with a format

Did the agent fill the form then, confirm from them.

Tomotunde:
Hi I have similar issue... submitted since November and no update yet. I just found out about the the same mistake that my friend that is an agent didn’t tick yes that I was refused a visa before. My second application.
Pls I don’t where to start from.
Pls I need a draft or format on how u wrote the letter of explanation and how the web form

Hope you filled the third party rep form? If you did, you have no issue.

mikeerrr:
The full funded uni will give him more chances of getting the visa though

Just my opinion but it’s up to him

I don’t think so...he has enough chances already. Some people still get refused even with full funding.

Kinzeerichy:
Thank you all for the advice and guidance. If I’m to apply now, how difficult is it to change school if another Uni with full funding gives me admission by mid-end of April?

I should be able to do it myself. If I’m to wait till April ending, is it too late to apply as resumption is August 27?

Thank you again.

It’s not difficult to change school. As long as it’s LLM you are going for.
If you want to wait till then, it’s your call. Anything can happen as CIC is very unpredictable.

Kinzeerichy:
Greeting all, I need help.

I’m new on this thread and I seek your advice on my application. I just gained admission to the University of Victoria for my Masters in Law commencing August 27, 2020. I got my Bachelor of Laws here in Nigeria in 2017 (Service in 2018/2019 in same law firm I work now). Tuition fee for a year is approx. CAD$7,500 and I was given 2,000 from the School as funding for now. My uncle (presenting him as a brother) is sponsoring me.

In addition to immigration documents, below are the documents I intend to submit:

Profile

Statement of Purpose
Diploma in Law Certificate (Distinction)
LLB Certificate (First Class)
Call to Bar/Qualifying Certificate (First Class)
University Transcripts for both Diploma and LL.B
2/3 Pictures of Awards
NYSC Certificate
Acceptance Letter
Letter of Employment from law firm I work
Letter of Recommendation from work
Office ID card
Birth Certificate
Police Report
Data Page of Int’l Passport/National ID
Letters from Stanbic IBTC Pensions
Evidence of Tax Remittance

Financials

Sponsor’s Personal SOA with 16m
Sponsor’s Letter of Sponsorship with his company letter head
Sponsor’s Affidavit of Sponsorship
His Company’s Certificate of Incorporation
Tax Clearance Certificate for himself and the Company
Data Page of Int’l Passport
Deed of Gift (he will transfer like 5/6m to my personal account immediately before application in partial fulfillment of his sponsorship)
My Personal Statement of Account with like 1.5m with 5/6m from sponsor making 6/7.5m
Pay Slips for 6months

Home Tie

Father’s CAC documents showing I’m one of the directors
Study Leave Approval from work giving me just 1yr
Inclusion in my SOA that I will return as I won’t be qualified to practice as a lawyer in Canada but will return to resume work in Nigeria where I’m qualified.

Although I applied to University of Saskatchewan and Calgary which usually come with full funding that will cover tuition and living expenses. However, University of Saskatchewan sent an e-mail that due to COVID, decision will be reached in mid-end April while I haven’t heard at all from Calgary.

Questions

Are those documents above sufficient?

Should I proceed with University of Victoria and leave Usask and Calgary in the interest of time? or chill till April? and apply with a full funding?

What are the roles of these agents? Should I engage them or do it myself?

I look forward to receiving guidance from you. Thank you.

Just take out diploma cert and diploma transcripts. Include your transcript if your admission is conditional subject to submitting your transcripts. What’s the essence of the stanbic ibtc letter? Is your LLM for a year? The sponsor need not write a letter with the company head provided it is from his personal account.
What’s the essence of the picture of 2/3 awards?
You should also start your visa application since you have admission letter. You can always switch schools later.

engrjoe:
Thanks bro. Where did u do it and how long did it take to get d result?

Check IOM, Ikeja or Q-life. Go to their website, get their email address and send them a mail. They would reply with the nearest date available, the amount and every other information you need for the medical exam.

Davidwali360:
I paid Maple Education 380,000 for my Visa and I was still rejected. I really feel bad now. How do I do this now?

Even me gaan is upset on your behalf. This is something you can actually do yourself, whether the result would be positive or negative. You wouldn’t have spent this much.

Apply for your GCMS notes and start re-gathering your documents. Go through the thread from the beginning while you await the notes.

You can re-apply by yourself. When you have specific questions, you can always ask here.

Chukwuemeka101:
Check this out

Go and check their official twitter handle or website if you would see the same information.

khunz:
Hmm, I got this from a friend. This shows it is true.

I think it’s as regards traveling to Canada and not issuing of visas. Follow their twitter page for more updates.

ptoall1000:
I am applying for Masters in University of Saskatchewan.
I was told to send these docs to schools@careerabroad.ca

Hii welcome to Career Abroad
Would you be able to send us your documents listed below at email students@careerabroad.ca
1 passport
2 ilets
3 bachelor certificate
4 backlogs
5 10th and 12th certificate
6 experience letter
Thank you

.what is an experience letter pls.

Are you applying through an agent or what? Normally you would pay the application fee of 90 CAD, after 24 hours, you would be required to upload some documents. This is something you can do yourself.

Evabanks:
i had a 2:2 and i got admission into two universities in Canada while changing programs from what i studied in my undergrad. schools normally request for a certain percentage in GPA in your final two years of your undergraduate program. relevant work experience and packaging your application matters too.

Are you equally a lawyer? Law is really from other professions. It’s not that easy. I’m not denying the possibility of getting an admission, just saying it’s an herculean task.

Priceless200:
Nawa o. Really?

So what's the fate of 2.2 graduates who wants to study in Canada. There has to be a way.

We were referring to Law graduates. Others can always do a PGD/PGC.

aye88:
I understand that from my research here and the schools i have checked. I have already ticked llm off. What i am looking for now is a good college that offer law related PGD programs

If you wouldn’t be going for LLM but for law related courses, you should be aware that at least such “related” course should be in line with your current work experience.

Obehi44:
Greetings to you boss @Frankrobbn1
My question to the enlightenment of many of us is
If I am done with a 1yr Program, then applied and got a 1yr PGWP, but during or before the end of the 1yr PGWP I got admitted into another 1yr program, 1. Will such a person still be eligible to apply for a another PGWP?
2. If yes, how many years PGWP will he or she gets?

Please experience minds should also contribute with answers.
Thanks

I have read somewhere on this thread that you get PGWP once.

aye88:
Pls which one is low ranked school and what are the chances of getting a Visa with low ranked schools. I know the US visa officers usually frown at low ranked schools but i don't know about canada, if they also follow suit

Check University of Regina, St Thomas, just google generally and if your documents are genuine, you can get visa.

aye88:
Whaoooo. Na wa o. This is sad. Did you eventually get a school, if yes, do you mind giving me the name?

I didn’t finish with 2:2

aye88:
Good day everyone, i am new year and i have been reading up since yesterday. Currently on page 8 of this thread. However i have a question, its surprising that a 2.2 graduate will find it difficult to gain admission into a university in canada. My dilemma now is that i intend to do my LL.M

I graduated with a 2.2. Are there any lawyers in the house that can advise on what uni admits a 2.2 graduate for an ll.m program. I have searched schools like university of toronto, mcgill, queens. Pls what are the options available. Or does it mean that a 2.2 graduate of law cannot go for ll.m in canada.?. I'm really confused

Rather than searching the superpowers university cos 2:2 don’t stand a chance there, broaden your search to lower ranking institutions and try there.

I’m one. When I was equally looking for schools, it’s not just about even having a 2:1, it’s about having a high 2:1. So there isn’t any school that accept a 2:2. However, you can try as some schools might be more interested in your publications, research interest and job experience. But you have to brace yourself, the chances of getting admission would be really slim.

Adetayoade1:
Hello please my dad can I use his statement for two applicants ( myself and sibling ) ?

If there’s sufficient money to sponsor the two of you, why not?

Shigosmart:
Nobody to respond to my questions?

What’s the question?

Adetayoade1:
ello please when submitting the financial statement it is compulsory to add extra financial documents and if so which please

It depends. Everyone’s application is unique. When I was applying, there was a lump sum in my dads account I had to justify with documents knowing fully well that he’s retired in order not to raise an eyebrow. If there’s anything that would raise an eyebrow in your statement, then you have to add it.

vickyehi:
But you are not the VO and in the Canadian culture, gender roles do not apply to the society.

That’s why I said if and I was referring to home tie.

peaceful22:
Submitted my passport since 31st of January and up till now no update, I'm really worried and scared.

No need to be worried provided none of your document happens to be fake. It’s like CIC now delay after PPR. The timeline after approval is now crazy.
Meanwhile we are going to the same school. When do you plan to leave?

chinwezdasilva:
Please my cousin graduated with a cgpa of 2.75 from rivers state university from mechanical engineering department what are his chances of getting an admission in any of the universities in Canada, if he cannot please would love you guys to give him an advise on what to do please, ur responses re highly need thanks

He won’t be able to secure a masters admission because his CGPA is really low. His best bet is a Postgraduate Dip/Certificate. Tell him to read through the previous threads to get more information too.

MisterSpark:
Hello JustMellow

Thanks for your advise on this.

[/b]However I was of the opinion that we could use our baby as a strong tie back home. [b]

Myself I have only been to the US once, my visa was valid for 2 month. After program I went for was over, I left for Nigeria.

Could we add this info to her app since I am going to be one of her sponsors.


Gurus, kindly advise

If I’m the VO, I won’t agree that a mother should leave her 1 year plus baby to pursue her education. The child is still really young na. Why can’t she go with the baby and use you as the hometie? You are the man na, you can survive behind alone.
