Bro, you used ur Aunt as Sponsor but didn't pay any school fees before and when applying?

No, didn't pay school fees but I had reserved accommodation (CAD 500). I included that in my app

Mikymiko:
A message of hope. Congratulations Bro! Did you say you applied in Ghana or in Nigeria? Are you a Nigerian or Ghanaian? Also share your documents please.

I'm a Ghanaian and applied in Ghana.
Aside the usual CIC forms, I also submitted:
Letter from sponsor- Aunt
SOA- a little over CAD 30000, her 3months payslips, company registration & tax registration documents. To justify source of income
Affidavit from my brother since I couldn't get his birth cert.
Marriage certificate, letter of intro from my employer, 3 months payslips, my car documentation and valuation. All my school transcripts and Certs from Junior high School.
License to practice my profession and documents showing registration as a professional. And SOP.

The little that I know, it's very important to show the source of income for your sponsor especially if the program is over a year. Letter of acceptance and good career progression could demonstrate your intent and strong SOP and current employment as well as family support could justify ties to your home country.

Good luck

Cool. Let me guess..PTDF or NITDA scholarship. Lucky you!

Commonwealth Scholarship Scheme

BeingGabriel:
Hello Costa9,

Congrats to you! Please confirm if you've done Msc before is this an accelerated program. Also, is there any reason you left such ample time (Winter 2017)?

Yes, did my MSc in UK 2014-2015 on scholarship. Winter 2017 was at the request of the VO. They sent an email that I defer my course to get approval.

Condition was to let my University send my transcripts and certificates directly to UofA. These were then vetted and approved
