Hi Everyone,

Please, I need assistance/advice on this school I am applying to in Germany but a bit skeptical because of the part payment of the tuition fee they're requesting before issuing an admission letter and some supporting documents.

The name of the school is Berlin School of Business and Innovation (BSBI), please does anyone have any information about this school cos I'm kinda scared as the requested amount is a bit high (2,000 Euros) and I do not want to be a victim of (you know) which is why I am requesting for support from people that has enough information about the school to kindly assist with information necessary to help.

although, it was written on their website that a part payment of the tuition fee would be made on submission and confirmation of one's application. I did submit all the required documents and I got an email that an education support officer would get in touch either by a phone call or by email. I got an email requesting for some other documents and shortly after I received a call from a Nigerian number telling me he is a representative of the school (this somehow has been bothering my mind) because I never expected to have received a call from a Nigerian (was expecting one of their citizens to be the one to get in touch).

so Fam' please, I need someone to assist with necessary information about the school majorly about the payment of 2,000 Euros and the authenticity of the school. please ill appreciate your support and advice to help with my decision making.

Thanks a lot for the anticipated support.

they don't place anyone on any category in Russia. i just get on the German website and choose my own convenient appointment Date, . Unfortunately its a different approach for applicants applying in Nigeria.

@Cappymayor @chibertha @yacha77. You are right about the GIC. It is meant for some designated countries like india. The reason I recommended it was because I thought since you guys have temporary residence status in other countries (Sweden UAE) I thought it could be applied. On the contrary you can set aside the living expense in a savings/fixed deposit if you have the means. I believe based on the fact that you want to sponsor yourself that will be a good wqy to proove your financial buoyancy. Dont forgot to also get a Co sponsor.

In addition, A GIC Certificate is matter of fact the best way to show your financial capability to sponsor yourself in Canada. Those Asian students are really fortunate no need for scanning heavy statement of accounts or property. Just pay 10kCAD into a GIC account in a bank in Canada and you will be entitled to 800CAD every month for 12 months. This serves as living expense. By the grace of God will get there one day.

Qudkom:
If you were rejected based on financial reasons only then tackling that shouldn't be difficult. I also dont think you needed to change program. But as long as there Is a reasonable progression in your studies and work experience then you are good to go. I'll also suggest the following:
1. Get a sponsor, no VO will believe you can sponsor yourself as a student in Sweden.

2. If you have a registered company or parent company (Lets say a registered engineering company) then you can use this in your favour and state in your sop you wanna bring back innovative ideas to your company/parent company.

3. Make sure you pay tuition deposit or if possible a full tuition deposit for a whole semester.

4. If you are capable I will advise you contact banks in canada and get a GIC (Guaranteed Investment certificate) to pay your living expenses for a year that way you've cleared the VO's doubt about financial capabilities.

5. You have no issues with travel history so you are good to go.

6. You need a detailed SOP and you need to stay a clear and passionate reason why you need to go over to canada for the program rather than sweden or even in Nigeria. You can state the breakthrough in welding techniques in Canada lead you to the choice, a high demand of highly skilled welders in Nigeria etc.

7. Don't forget to get a sponsor letter and 2-3 property documents.

All the best......

Congratulations!!!
I'm going to Queen's too but MMIE.
Oh wow..submit ASAP.
Don't wait for anything once you have all documents....

...as long as you still have a valid status(study permit) in Russia, you is eligible. All that is needed to be done from your part is proper calculation(s) so as not to be caught of status either before applying or waiting on your app to be processed after filing in order not to violate any immigration law. Irrespective of things, 10 months is a sufficient time to secure a TRV from Russia.

Naijaforeigner:
Yes but have you gotten your LOA? If yes, don't waste time, apply NOW.

trishaben:
This is very wrong I.e the example you gave. If you're on a visiting visa in any country, you cannot apply for visa from there. The only instance you can apply for visa from a foreign country is if : you have a residence permit. Or work permit. Other than that. They will reject you based on immigration status in country of residence.

Tshoow:
Hello to you all, I am very new on this platform but I have been going through the threads. Please, I need your evaluations and advice. I applied for a study visa with my two kids last year December and was denied solely on the basis that they are not satisfied I will leave Canada after my study. A new session will start by September 2019, can I still re-apply with my kids but this time with my uncle who holds a political position writing a letter and promising me work when I get back to serve as home-tie. Also, is there any document I need to add to make for a strong case. Hoping to read replies soon... Thank you all

My little piece of advice . Pray , package your application well, do not leave anything out especially if you talked about it in your SOP and please read through the previous threads before asking a question that has already been answered. Or simply google a key word and type Nairaland at the end of it, some threads with same words would pop up . You can also check the first page of each thread, there’s a simpler way to search for things on the thread.Put in some effort and research online about the schools and their programs and admission policies .

Dude I understand your present predicament. Be strong okay!.
I have few questions to ask you, What's your Immigration status at Abu Dhabi? Why applying from there instead of Nigeria your home country? Before issuing a visitor visa, work permit or study permit, the immigration officer must be satisfied that you are likely to leave Canada when your permission to stay expires. If you have strong ties to your home country, the immigration officer will generally be satisfied that you are likely to return to your country after visiting, studying or working in Canada. Significant ties can include close family members who live in your home country, current employment as well as good prospects for future employment in your country, ownership of an active business, and ownership or property or other assets in your home country, among other factors. If you are not a citizen of the country where you live, your immigration status in your country of residence also has an impact on this assessment. If you can show that you will be able to return to your country of residence after visiting Canada, the visa office will likely focus primarily on your ties to your visiting country of residence (Abu Dhabi). Hence, If your immigration status in your country of residence (Abu Dhabi) isn't work permit, study visa, or resident permit, you're ought to return to your home country, Nigeria where you have sufficient ties because this will be considered to weaken your assessment in the sight of the visa officer. That means if you don't have a legal status in Abu Dhabi to apply for a Canadian student visa from there. You will always be denied if you keep trying to apply from the country. It's going to be inconvenient and expensive for you, but the best thing to do is go back to Nigeria and and apply for the student visa from there.

Best of luck
