Sorry for your delay fellow mathematician. I don't know how robust your SOP is concerning relating mathematics to scientific computing, but I think you really have to work on that.

Let me use myself as a case study, I did industrial mathematics first degree, statistics second degree and going for MSc biostatistics in Tue department of Community health science, which isn't too smooth for someone who doesn't know the terrain. I actually applied for a PhD but was granted a MSc admission. My GI st denial was partly due to the fact that I tried to conceal the fact that my admission didn't not merit a PhD so that the VO will not see it as a red flag, still it was seen as one.

When I reapplied, I took my time to research into relating mathematics to statistics and then to biostatistics and explain reason why I was given a MSc admission instead of PhD that I applied and how my supervisor had advice I accept the admission to be able to do some prerequisite in epidemiology which is score course in biostatistics in the department of community health sciences where my admission letter came from.

I also used a letter of explanation to stress the relationship between between my previous academic degrees and my prospective degree in Canada.

You can try that, with God's favor it will fly, you can reach me on abestine@gmail.com if you require fine tuning your SOP or need my sample as guide... Ire o

Thanks very much bro

Why not she sell the land and the buyer deposit the funds into your account? You attach proof of the sale documents, attach proof of transfer from buyer's account into yours. Your sister in her sponsorship letter explains that the land was an investment and she sold it and authorized the buyer to deposit the money into your account.

If there's clear & concise proof and the explanation is clear and not sketchy, it won't be a red flag. Since she's also attaching her personal account then you'll be good. The key thing is making everything clear and unambiguous to the VO. Any excessively complicated explanation or unclear documentation increases your risk of denial for insufficient funds (at least this is what I'd do if I were a VO).

Hello @thesoj, Mazi, Austine4pee and all please what about the case where my sponsor is my elder sister who resides in the US she wants to sell a piece of land back home worth about 30000cad she is about to sell this land and let the buyer pay the money in to my account for my studies and also present her personal account to the VO, will this be a red flag?

N.B We will provide sale documents.

long post alert
Hi Alantobie, it isn't a red flag if the funds are transferred from another country to a dorm account. We did this for two of my siblings and it worked fine. In both cases, the sponsor transferred the money from his foreign account to the applicant's dorm account. Same sponsor also paid tuition from his foreign account.

The sponsor clearly mentioned this in his sponsorship letter. E.g. the sponsorship letter would have a sentence like "as a demonstration of my commitment to sponsor Miss. Ngozi Adetola, I have fully paid tuition for her first year (see attached transfer receipt from my bank & her university account receipt) in the amount of $xy,xyx CAD. For her first year living expenses, I also transferred $yx,yxy CAD (or USD or GBP, etc) to her domicilliary account at GTB; the transfer receipt from my bank is attached as well."

I would strongly suggest you either spend one paragraph in your SOP discussing these finances, or just write a short but separate "letter of clarification of finances" to describe all your finances in about one and half paragraphs. Make it straight to the point. Be as clear as possible, cos you don't want the VO having to spend too much time trying to comprehend your finances. In my view, the more frustration the VO experiences while going through your app the higher your probability of denial.

About the fact that your mom is your sponsor even though the money is in your uncle's account. Hmm... legally the money is your uncle's (at least in the eyes of the VO) so why not make him your sponsor and maybe your mom as co-sponsor?

I obviously don't know if withdrawing the money from your uncle's account would empty it, in which case it probably wouldn't fly with the VO for him to be your sole sponsor.

Do you have a clear paper trail that proves that your mom gave him the money to keep? If so, I guess you can include such evidence (and still have your mom as your main sponsor). But if you can't explain this to the VO as concisely as possible, it would start to get frustrating to comprehend such a circuitous explanation. Do also keep in mind that the VO will be wondering why your mom gave your uncle money to "keep"... I hope your mom has a concise non-fishy explanation ready (assuming she'll be your main sponsor).

If you've PMed me I'll accept it. Please bear with me because I'm likely to be super slow in responding (I'll respond faster on here than by email). I strongly suggest you continue to ask your most general questions publicly though so others can benefit. Thanks.

cc: @arebo

If the said amount is from the sale of a property, or any other means, you will need to show documented evidence.

Arebo:
What if the sponsor has other means of income?? So it must show that the money was transfered from the sponsor's account for VOs to approve?? I need to get this straight.....

TITILOLA88:
Hello house, I'm going for a two-year diploma, must I have a total of the two years tution while applying for study permit?

No you don't but you need to show your one year school fees and one year living expenses which is 10000cads plus school fees. for the next year, you will need to show you will be capable to have the both ie the 10000plus school fees. Your sponsor can proof this with a payslip or business documents. It is advisable you pay fees and transfer living expenses to your account and inform Visa officer

Ohcanada:
Please guys, he had made up my mind but he still needs some brotherly and sisterly advice. My brother studied French and International relations. He is working as a classroom teacher in a school.

If you were in his shoes, what course would you apply for Masters in Canada

I'm waiting for your responses.

He can go for international development, journalism, anything related to peace keeping, human resource management.

Dear you deserve it. Go and prosper . thanks for the explanation and you time

beverlyd:
Hello,
To answer your question, Before the application was made, i was already discouraged by few people who told me that a second masters will not fly because it was a similar field. In addition to this, i had what some would consider to be red flags. I have been rejected USA visa 3 times and i have tried applying for PR some years ago even though i submitted an incomplete application so it was not processed. I decided to put up a strong explanation letter.

I started by talking about myself and family background and how we were all raised to contribute to our society. I mentioned my siblings professions and how they have contributed towards socio-economic development in Nigeria. I talked about how i made my own contributions ...i gave examples of how i visited orphanage homes, how i mentored individuals/friends and a attached one or two pictures of such visits. I also mentioned some awards in the past which were related to socio-economic development in my place of service (during nysc).

I talked about how passionate i am about my career and because HR is the heart of any organization, it focuses on the welfare of its people. I said i have a natural disposition to want to help which is why i have chosen this career path. I also mentioned that its a bit difficult to find HRM in Nigerian universities at post graduate level hence the reason for seeking this course outside my country. I talked about various things i seek in a country where i want to study and mentioned stuff like multi-culturalism, high standard of education, peaceful setting, conducive environment for studies and i have found canada to cover all aspects. I quoted stuff from articles that may have mentioned them etc I went on to state my reasons for choosing my university in canada. I mentioned why i picked them instead of other unis and i focused on ranking in that field both in canada and worldwide and how it appears to be one of the few unis offering HRM without other course combinations like International business with HRM.

I explained why i chose to do HRM as a core course and explained that the previous MSc was a major in international business. I also pointed out that my promotion in present work place is dependent on me achieving a core HRM program. I showed evidence of this with a study leave letter from my company mentioning that and they stated they were willing to accept me at the end of my study.

Finally i talked about future goals which was to set up a job centre for my community as this has been a problem and that the theroretical knowledge obtained from the program would go a long way to help me accomplish that. I mentioned specific aspects of the program i would need to fulfil this.

I also highlighted some social organizations i was part of in Nigeria and mentioned important social events i have attended and what i did....all pointing towards commitment to my country. I never said anything bad about Nigeria but rather how to contribute to its development.

Lastly, i mentioned that i have started taking steps towards accomplishing my future plans by registering a company which can only come in full operation with the knowledge i will gain from the program.

Its also important to note that i was honest with the fact that i have been rejected in USA before and i gave reason. I was also honest that i have tried to enter canada before though it was not processed.

Lastly, i prayed most of the time and praised more than half of the time.

I hope this will help others too. So people going for second masters especially ones in similar field ...do not be discouraged. See you all at the top

How did you convince vo you are going for a second master in human resource or better still
Please what were the reasons you gave for going for a second masters since you already have one

Austinpee4:
I'm no way near a guru but i will try to answer your question.

IRCC requirement is that applicants have their tuition + a minimum of 10,000 for living expenses for a year. This evidence can be in a one time fund availability. i.e Loan proof, funds in convertible currency, scholarships, grant etc. Showing 6 months bank statement should be dependent on what your claim and if you intend to prove that you can generate funds for subsequent year(s) of program. If you already showed that you have funds for your entire program in other form, then the 6 months statement may not be necessary except you just want to show you earn money.

Thanks our able guru

Austinpee4:
If you can get the letter, it will significantly give assurance of fund availability. Besides, each of your claim should be supported with a proof. Your father's source(s) of income should also be evidenced to support his claim of transferring cash to you.

Good morning my able gurus , if funs are already transferred to Canadian bank, and payslip and other work documents of sponsor provided, is it still necessary for sponsor to show six months bank statements or the prove of source of funds is ok

Hello everyone please who can help me with the list of banks one can open a bank account while outside Canada .

Good pple of niraland please a friend of mine want to go for a second bachelors degree, please can you help with possible reasons he can give the VO for going for a second bachelors. He has 3 year degree from Cameroon and want to switch.

Please I want to ask a question on gcms note, please can some one tell me what to write on the concern form where we have ;you must write your designated individual contact information. What is the designated contact information ? Is it the information of the person in canada?

lanrayx:
can i mail you a copy to go through thanks

Yes you are free

If it's international add country code. Hope it works

iseise:
The phone number is not going through

Start by addressing the lecturer with appropriate tittle e.g Dr,prof, etc. Introduce yourself. If you did not take the toef or any other state why eg you are from Nigeria English is the language of instruction ,u studied in English from primary school. State that u intend pursuing masters this or next year and after going through list of Supervisor and discovered his research work mainly focused on your interest. Tell him ever since your UG u have been interested in the said discipline. Say you read his article title... Which he authored or co authored with.... (Don't forgot to make reference) which he explained..... Tell him what you have been doing in that domain. Let him know you meet minimum eligibility requirements for international student s admission . let him know you are highly interested in working actively under his supervision. Attached transcript, CV, and any achievement in the domain tell him to kindly review and let you know if you are qualified. If you have any extra curricular activities in that domain pour out your involvement.

N B always make it short and captivating to capture the supervisor since you are not the only candidate. Send to many supervisor in less than no time you will get a positive respond.
Hope this helps.



Regards

lanrayx:
pls anyone who can point me to a sample of letter of intent

Anyone can stand as your sponsor but you will need to state convincing reasons why they are sponsoring you especially if they are not your close relations.
NB. It's advisable to use close relations in order to reduce the burden of convincing VO

phemmzy96:
[b][/b] Gud evening everyone! Am new here. I av some enquiries to make concerning Canada student visa.

Good evening house. Am from Cameroon precisely living in Yaounde where we have are VAC. I have personally seen trv been granted in a week time, so welcome to all those in the house planning to visit. Also prepare to speak a little bit of French cox we have only one vac in Cameroon.

Boss some of us are not asking to plagiarize, its just to get some tips. With a bachelors degree you don't expect me to plagiarize, I can just get some tip's while writing. I don't think we wake up one day and know how to write a good sop, it takes experience. I have learned much from you and others in the house and I want to continue learning. Bro chill up.

wealth360:
@maziude I gbadun your style boss. Ever since you got your trv you have been so active and helpful on this thread nevertheless you need to be very careful with how you share your sop. Am not saying or assuming that if in case your sop is copied for application of any sort your visa will be affected oooo. No. What am particular about is that try and teach these men to write good sop. Plagiarism is an offence hope you know. Make them write something and help them build it. I do that on daily bases and it has helped them a lot. @darrey and yemmdogg taught me and now am good. So train them boss.

Greetings. @yemmdogg, osemigho can't stop praying for you guys. I will rejoice with you guys and all trv hopeful soon. Bon voyage

Hello @ Maziude, thanks for your contributions to this house after your success. Its only God that can pay you.
Please can I read your sop . I have pm you. I will appreciate your response.

Warm regards

Urgent urgent urgent

@thesoj I happen to come from a bilingual country Cameroon, where anglophones go for GCE ordinary and advance level. The advance level is equivalent to baccalaureate which you attain b4 entry in to the university. So baccalaureate is equal to GCE advance level. Therefore post baccalaureate is equal to a bachelors degree.
