Following the advice given by goingforward and a couple other people.

Try to put yourself in the shoes of the VO that probably has a dozen of applications to go through. In as much as you want to be detailed and through, i see no reason my your SOP should be five pages long. See your SOP as your resume or even LinkedIn profile.

Let it highlight your strong points.

Using my brother's application as an example, the SOP for the first two applications were very detailed and about 3 pages, yet he got denied. The last application had a 1 page SOP, was very brief and to the point. This doesn't mean all SOPs have to be brief, other pple have gotten approved with longer.

Given that you are also including LOE, try to paraphrase and reduce the length as u also dont want to over explain and come across like you are hiding anything

Hello @Joe @Dere1,

I don't think anyone should be in a position to advise on the number of pages for an LOE or SOP.
The reason is because you do not know what content or information that the person has put in there. U may want to ask first before outrightly saying that it would bore the visa officer. U may want to ask to help read his or her SOP or LOE then better advice. So that the person does not reduce the information that may just be what the VO needs to see,

I have read on several forums and blogs outside of Nairaland, where people have said that its always better to provide more information than required if space can contain it, than providing less information.

No one here is a visa officer and you do not know what extra information they look out for which may be the icing on the cake and the additional reason for approving your application.

Please follow your heart play the devil's advocate on your application. Ask yourself this. Are all the information that I have placed there relevant and important. Are the information I have placed in there strong career or professional points or reasons for my study in Canada?

You also don't want to get a refusal and be left with the guilt that you would have added this or added that.

Then follow your heart on the number of pages.

There is no 1 size that fits all, please always know this. There is also no visa officer here on Nairaland. We are all just second guessing and leveraging on past knowledge and information based on trends of approvals or refusals.

goingforward.

Good Morning house and DOUBLE TWALE to our Honourable GURUS for their insurmountable contribution.

PLEASE IS 5 PAGES SOP NOT TOO MUCH FOR THE VO? HOWEVER, I AM THINKING OF EXTRACTING SOME INFO TO FORM MY LOE SO I CAN EMPHASISE MORE ON THE REASON FOR MY TRV REFUSAL. ALSO, PLEASE IS THERE ANY FORMAT FOR LOE AND IF YES WILL NEED A TEMPLATE FOR TRV LOE.

THANKS

URGENT!!! Good morning everyone, can I withdraw the money transfered to me by my sponsor after printing my bank statements?

Good morning beautiful people! I've been a silent reader, this thread has been very insightful, God bless you all.

I'm married with two children, my husband wants to go through a pilot training and we found one at Brampton, Brampton Flight Service. is it possible we all apply with him? Or would you all suggest we just go through FSW I don't mind any other suggestions.

Anticipating. ..

Jewel80:
Goodmorning guys! Please does anyone have the email address of the offices that process visas in Turkey and Dubai? Needed please

Just go to https://www.acro.police.uk/police_certificates.aspx and apply. It cost £40 but if you want to sent directly to you in Nigeria, you will pay additional fee of £47.

Folks,

Ethelia:
I want to say a super duper big thank you to every single one of you. I wish I could mention you all individually but I need to leave space on the thread for the ppr announcements that will flow today My prayer is that we all get our hearts desires according to His will.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, so what ever stage you are in be it IELTS, ECA, ITA, Post AOR etc., just keep pushing on. Last last, it will definitely end in praise

I have about 300 pages to digest in that living in Canada thread and I dare not ask any silly repeated question before they refer me straight to page 0 D . So if you are post AOR (or even post ITA sef) I'd say you can keep yourself busy by following that thread as well, at least it will keep your mind away from checking the account every hour

Thank you all so very much!

klexycole:
Sir, try Canadian Express Entry (EE).

Cheers!

You nailed it. It better to rough it while we enjoy basic amenities. Basic necessities of life is what that matters. NOTHING GOOD COME EASY!

MummyJaygirls:
I think it’s in reference to the modus operandi of both countries. From disorganized to organized. Lol

mosky47:
Too many good news today. It's so good to come here at the end of the day to read testimonies upon testimonies.

There is no better way to celebrate these good news than having a public holiday tomorrow. I hereby declare tomorrow a work-free day. Please use it to relax and refresh yourselves. God bless you all.

Congrats!!!

Silent reader alert.

In response to @Tojued..

Woke up to PPR on Friday morning.

See timeline below:

ITA - JAN 24
AOR - MAR 2
MEP/IP1 - MAR 9
SILENCE!!!!
IP2 - I don't know or when this came as I stopped checking after a while in order not to hurt myself before the big news came.
PPR 1 - JUN 29
PPR 2 - JUL 4.

Bizarre isn't? I was amazed as well when I woke up to another PPR today. We badly wanted the PPR to come earlier so we could have our baby in Cannyland but in God's supreme knowledge, He's decided now is the time.

We have written to IRCC to have our deadline postponed though, in order to give time to birth and include our baby before leaving as wifey is too advanced right now. We await their feedback.

@Newmum and others waiting, it will come soon by God's grace.

To my fellow PPR choppers, congrats.

All the best to all of us in this endeavor.

labonak:
