TIPS FOR SELF SPONSORING APPLICANTS 1. To self-sponsor, I believe a few years of working experience is a good to have. 2. Ensure you package your application to reflect everything that shows your employment history/progress Employment letter, Promotion letter, Transfer Letter, Salary Increment Letter, Health plan, Retirement plan, Tax docs, Ref Letter from Employer etc 3. Do your best to generate a lot of activity in the account you intend to present, it is not only about the final balance; History, Transaction count, Turnover etc are equally important. You could have a 6 months plan on that. 4. Try as much as you can to reflect in your application how your wife would be financially sustained when you are away. If she is employed, make sure you reflect that with relevant document and if she is into business, you should be able to substantiate that with documentation if you can. 5. Ensure you add documentation of other near money (T-bills etc) and non-near money (particular emphasis to landed property even if the property is in Mowe forest ) assets to your documentation if any exists 6. This is the simple mathematics I recommend you use in determining a fair amount you want to state in your application and probably make available in your a/c. Assumptions a. You are not travelling with your spouse b. Going for a one-yr, 3 term program c. School fees is 5000 CAD per term d. CAD exchanges for ₦160 e. Your total cost is on you (No scholarship, no free accommodation, etc.) i. Cost of Tuition for the program = ₦2,400,000 ii. Living Expense Accommodation = ₦768,000 Books and Supplies = ₦240,000 Food = ₦720,000 Others (transportation, entertainment, communication, others) = ₦720,000 iii. Round Trip Airfare = ₦350,000 iv. Then some extra jara 7. Spouse affidavits of support. To show spousal consent and home tie. 8. Your package should convincingly show you are not giving everything up ("self sponsor" to elope. Hence the need to properly establish your home ties.9. Ask for God's favour and wisdom. |

slamdunk99: @all, I was denied visa today.................NOOOOO WAYYYY!!!.......this house deserves some good news, am still dancing alanta and azonto as I type......GOD has been so good........got my TTTRRRVVV today.......HE will complete what HE has started in our lives, despite all the bumps with fee payment...........stay tuned for documents as usualNice 1. Congrats men!!! |
ebugirl: @all: I got ♍Ɣ visa today, make una help M̶̲̅ε̲̣̣̣̥ thank God.The moment I came in here and saw the latest page had jump from 6 to 8 in one day, I knew something good had happened. Ebugirl, my biggest congrats to you and the good God who has done this for you will do it for our other brothers and sisters awaiting an achievement such as this. I guess the next thing on your burner are stuffs like Arranging your documents for travel/academic/employment purposes in Canada Preparing your budget Arranging payment of your fees Transferring money to Canada Arranging accommodations Making travel arrangements (comparing prices and booking) Determining what to bring with you Arranging transportation from airport to final destination etc. I have not totally crossed these hurdles myself, but the moment I do, I would lay it bare as usual for the benefit of all. It wouldn't also mind having our experienced friends share there thought on some of these issues too. |
boxbonnie: Happy sunday peeps! Am Back!!Sorry oh, broda. This got me laughing . Dont worry, your time is here! |
esere826: Fine point. I guess like all things in life, all gaps are abused. Even MTN bb browsing was abused also, and fuel subsidy, and Pakistans hospitality to the US, etc... na so life be ![]() |
fflowers: Hello house, sorry 4 the delay, I'vee been very busy o. I got the parcel yesterday. I was instructed to go for my Medical. Also inclluded ΐϞ my parcel are to conditions.Congrats on your parcel. For your concern, I think you need to be very careful here. For them to have requested for the Originals of your sponsors' birth cert, then they must be interested in something in particular. Remember, those guys know fully well that you can always arrange a document in Nigeria but they made their request. It is not impossible they have some prior documentation about your sponsor that they want to compare your own documentation with. I wouldn't be happy to see you swallow the hook. I have a friend whose sponsor did not release his financial documents to, instead the sponsor wrote the embassy that he would be available to fax his financials directly to the embassy for confidentiality purpose.Cutting story short, my friend is now in Canada. I would advise you consult pros on this, also talk to sponsor. Your sponsor can make a photocopy of his/her original birth cert, support it with a letter stating why the originals would not be available now and probably also add other documentations like photocopies of his Intl Passport and other documentation relevant to proving his birth information. Please, lets be wise and strategic. Cheers |
Danyl: Danyl: @all,pls i want to ask dt wat docs can gv d cdhc,a strong proof of ur home ties1. Most times, a general answer might not apply to a specific case. Your age, family composition, employment history, educational history etc are some of the factors that could come into place in determining your proof of ties to your home country. Generally speaking, Marriage, Children, Study grant/Government scholarship, Landed properties, Pension plan, Age etc are areas you could exploit to prove your ties. 2. I would advise you ask yourself this question. Can a parent sponsor his/her married child for a second degree? If your answer is Yes, then support your application with relevant documents good enough to change the mindset of a sceptic. Documents like affidavits/Letter of sponsorship clearly stating your parents capabilities and their interest/relevance to your plans coupled with how you intend to cater for your partner while you are away. However, if your answer is a No or Not sure, you might want to start looking for another sponsor. I hope I have added value to your questions |
Being looking all around for part 3 for like forever. @ All, thumbs up for the wonderful job and contributions so far, @ Moderator, nice job you have done so far but subsequently I believe there could be some more graceful ways of closing a thread. Also, can this thread enjoy some form of publicity (may be an appearance on the home page) for a few days so that others could more easily locate it. @ Awaiting Medical call-up, Keep monitoring the portal, keep checking your mails, keeping call VAC. My suspicion is that CDHC has relaxed after the April/May rush and well soon resume calling again later in June and fully in July. Remember Psalm 130:5-6 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning. @ Awaiting TRV after Medicals, This period is usually when one is most understandable anxious. Going by my personal statistics, 95% get their TRV after medicals, so what makes you think you wouldn't fall within the 95% band? Go and start checking out kijiji and wakanow joor. We shall all get to our God's ordained destinies IJN. |

opad: My dad's Retirement Statement of Account with Pension Management(iBTC) ÝOpad, I guess you already know the right answer to your question and I am not sure Retirement Savings is synonymous to Educational Savings. |

For the benefit of all, especially those at various stages of application, I have posted a screen capture of the online tracking portal showing the various status at each stage of the visa application. I hope this would help calm some nerves, quench some curiosity and inform altogether. Pix 1: You'll see this once you concluded that application submission process. The process includes document pre-scrutiny, fees payment and application submission https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-cR0pA0LrbFg/T8eiuH9MY5I/AAAAAAAABGY/JNaXhMN5Ozk/s650/1.jpg Pix 2: You need to take chill pill to see this. Only God, CHDC and VFS knows what determines the waiting period, but generally, it takes between 3weeks and 4months. Also, I believe most people are handed their medical invite here. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-OEAuL24X_Nk/T8eit4i-3QI/AAAAAAAABGU/40GpWp_ekJM/s650/2.jpg Pix 3: You'll get to see this once you return your passport to VFS after your medicals https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-iQ8KIa-T3j4/T8eiuKyUBaI/AAAAAAAABGc/4eMX-AU5m_0/s650/3.jpg Pix 4: Once you see this, start heading towards 16, billings way. Most people don't get to see this because it lasts only a few hours before the next update. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-UmZnuRAQal0/T8eiujwmNNI/AAAAAAAABGo/9yvCGskRX-Q/s650/4.jpg Pix 5: For some reasons, I forgot to keep a shot of the stage. But basically the Message here is: Your application reference number NGA/_ _ _ _ _ is now ready for collection. Please visit the the centre where you submitted your application with your receipt and identification proof Pix 6: Case closed here. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ewMJRKwkeWk/T8eiu8fLMCI/AAAAAAAABGk/xzPI43Y8HHM/s650/6.jpg |

Prince christian: @merylicious.....i dont think u can really sponsor urself cos there the income will not be coming since u will not be around...but one thing i kw is God can still do it if u believe,Hi Prince, you can sponsor urself. I did |
Obamacare: Thanks a bunch: Well I guess since am a guy I need not bother about my wife's consent letter or reference letter and the other stuffs. What do you think?I strongly suggest you should consider supporting your application with does documents if you can lay your hands on them. Find below an highlight of a sample spousal supporting affidavits 1. That I am an Employee of 3SC football club at 10 Upper Iweka Road, Onitsha, Anambra since Dec, 1819 2. That I currently work in recruitment department of of the said company 3. That my wife/husband, Jay Jay Okocha has just been offered admission at Mushin High School, Ikoyi for a PhD programme in Garri Making. 4. That the said course is to commence in January 1999 and it would run for a period of 3 years. 5. That I would support my wife/husband emotionally (na joke oh) in the course of the 3 year programme. 6. That we have thirteen children with names . . . and there are my only dependant at the moment. 7. That this affidavit is for all record purposes. 8. That I depose to this Affidavit in good faith. Please note that you might need to substantiate some of your claims in the affidavits with some form of supporting document For example, if you claim you have 13 children, you should also be able to provide 13 birth certs. if your wife works in 3SC Football club, then you should be glad to provide the employment related documents. I hope you get my drift. Just do your own best and leave the rest to God. |
sucre cruz: @AllBiggest Congrats. The long haul is finally over. Congrats once more. Let His blessings continue to abound in this house. |
ogbeche77: @bumdish, b4 getting a response that u now have a supervisor willing to supervise ur MSc prog. Did u still went ahead to apply to the school or after getting that mail? Cos i can see u have a ref num and in one of there(grad sch) reply,they said no decision yet, meaning they have ur profile. Pls clarifyI went ahead with my admission application even while no supervisor was not forthcoming. Most school in canada usually have a portal you can log on to as an applicant to check your admission status. |
Danyl: @all,i want to ask that if i submit my original credentials to the embassy,will they return the originals back to me. ebugirl: Make photocopies of the credential, send both the original and photocopy to the embassy. They will withhold only the photocopy and send back the original to Ɣõu̶̲̥̅̊.Your photocopies would actually be returned too. |
Obamacare: True talk my bro…This list is quite exhaustive, I know, but it is not by that. Na make God help us allWhy am I being referred to as a BRO. Do I sound masculine? 1. "Please complete this questionnaire. If additional space is required add another sheet of paper." This is the first instruction on the Study permit questionnaire provided by CDHC. So you are allowed to add your own continuation sheet if the space provided isn't adequate for you. 2. The 5th grid on the checklist, clearly request you to include your Original Letter of Acceptance. This letter usually contains details like course title, duration of study, level of study, start date (multiple start dates, if applicable) ,latest possible date of admission and conditions of admission. For me, I received both the Admission letter and letter of admission from the 2 schools dat offered me admission. You might want to check your package again. A friend who is now in Canada actually used an email sent from the school stating does listed info. to substitute for the letter of acceptance cos im application was initially returned by CDHC for none inclusion of the Letter of Acceptance. You might find something in your docs to represent this letter alongside your letter of admission. 3. Most school in canada usually have a portal you can log on to as an applicant to check your admission status. I guess including a print out of the page showing some useful information like your admission status and likes might not be a bad idea. 4. The 10th grid on the checklist requests to include an Official Fee Schedule which includes – tuition, accommodations and meal plans, miscellaneous expenses(medical insurance, books, memberships).. If you have that doc in ur admission kit, include it else you might need to source for it elsewhere (School's website might be ur destination of choice). Just ensure it is authoritative and verifiable. 5. Since I have a spouse, I tot I needed to show I have my spouse's support and consent that dere livelihood dey guaranteed since I would be away . Does documents show all that in my calculation 6. I submitted photocopy of my ID Card. You want them to think I am desperate ni? or that I am a lay-about at work ni or that I no even get job. If police catch me for road che I go tell them say my ID card dey ambassy? joor o. Take you time oh |
gini: @ Bumdish: Please how did you obtain your statement of result from Unilag? Did you have to apply in person or did you use the Online form and sending to the mail boxes with the N2500 fee Teller?I sent the filled downloadable form together with the scanned copy of the teller via email. You can call thier numbers for more info, does guys are quite efficient. A lawyer friend drafted the Affidavits of Support on my spouse's behalf, I guess it is the normal format stating some basic details like the school you are attending, program of study, duration of the program, dependants, occupation, employment/employer details, income etc. My spouse isn't my sponsor too, but the document at least clear alot of curiosity from the standpoint of the VO. I would have loved to send you the exact copy I used but I am presently not in town. Some notes about landed documents: The relevance of landed property can not be over emphasised as it buttress your ties to your home country (This is a key consideration). You do not need to have the perfect document (C of Os etc). Just ensure what ever you are submitting is authentic, verifiable, consistent and will not add another layer of complexity to your application. Here is what I mean, in my case, I used documents like hand writing receipt I obtained from the seller, I retrieved a copy of the scan image of the cheque leaf I issued way back to the seller from my bank, (if you have a utility bill (like PHCN etc) on the said property, include it). |
to elope. Hence the need to properly establish your home ties.
