Apply for the blocked account and book for interview 1st and search the thread for likely questions. There's even one not up to 5 pages back

thks boss....

hello friends..
I recently gained admission into south westphalia university, to study business admin with informatics (bsc). the course is in English language.

I have booked appointment for opening blocked account (though i have no idea of how i am going to get the N1. 8m but I believe in miracles GOD dey) in the embassy on the 27th of this month (anybody going to the embassy on that day? let's hook up)

I would really like to start preparing for the visa interview but I have no idea of the kind of questions to prepare for.
Please I need assistance on the kind of questions to prepare for.

thank you for your quick responce.

uchezdedon:

Fear not, you only need to convince the VO that you have a very strong relationship with your sponsor. Know more about him. Many people came here with letter of sponsorship including me.

Good luck.

thanks for the reply bro. please what kind of questions do they ask during interview for one using spinsorship letter. cos my sponsor is in luxemburg and I just a family friend. can I claim him as my uncle even if we dont bear same surname?

futurewise11:
This question has been asked more than 50 times on this platform.

Secondly just two minutes research on google will give u answer.

Anyway, you can only withdrae approximately 680 euro monthly.
In my opinion, block account is the best option.sponsorship letter entails alot.
As per form A, averagely it takes 3weeks to process. Stanbic and Ecobank is better in that aspect presently.You dont need a domicilliary account for the transaction.

Am Sorry bro. How do u mean it entails a lot. cos I plan on using the sponsorship letter route. thanks

Good day friends.
can someone in Luxemburg who is not my relative stand as my sponsor cos I don't have the 8k Euro for blocked account. I heard I can get a spinsorship letter from any where in Europe. not necessarily germany only. please how true is this. want to know if it's possible to use him as sponsor or go back to the original plan of getting the 8k Euro for blocked account. thank you.

vampire2020:
bro abeg just drop the university dat doesnt need ielts am also appliying for a computer science course bsc.abeg no turn my request down

bro pls drop the university. I want to also study computer science in English (bsc) instead of IT. cos I was also planning on going for IT if I don't see computer science. a friend said IT is also good course in germany too.

helo great peeps of this trend.

I must confess that it's really difficult to study in germany. I have been having trouble getting a German sponsor or the 2m for the block account thing. I thought germany was easier than U.S. and Canada guess I was wrong.

dprinz99:
from all indications,its 90% impossible to study as undergrad without the under listed criteria.
as already said herre,German doesn't recognize our weac or neco cert for direct admission that means u have to pass tro studienkolleg which ends with festellung prufung and with this,u can ally for direct admission.
now b4 starting the studienkolleg,u nid at least b1l level of herman b4 Appling.
again u dnt hv dis cert.
u wena study medicine or nursing,yea I knw that frm ur post in Canadian thread.the best bet for u is to take up a language course here in Nigeria.dnt allow any1 deceive you that the embassy will give u visa for language purpose.lie.....
. REASON
We hv Goethe institute here in nija that teaches German to any level u want.
embassy will always advice u to complete ur language course Here b4 traveling

. YOUR BEST BET
if u sent wana spend one year at Goethe to lean German,u can apply for a foundation course which they teach in English n u can also learn ur German simultaneously
I hv a friend hu got it via agent n the agnt didn't charge him much.if u r interested,I can contact him on ur behalf .
I wish u all d best

Okay I sent you pm

Leprof1:
​Good Morning everyone

I am an ardent follower of this new thread since it began a while ago and it's been filled with amusing, annoying, helpful and snobish folks... All facets of every human characteristics is ably represented here.

But I have also noticed that there are very few people taking up bachelor's degree in Germany, as most are going for masters degrees. Bearing that in mind, I feel it's time to start a new trend/line of information for people who are willing to take up bachelors degrees in Germany.

I will be documenting my experience here (as I am in the process of applying for a bachelor's degree) and will be answering any questions that anyone may have in that regard. I also in return will be looking forward to learn more from the experiences of others

SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION

I will be applying for a Bsc in Computer Science and a Bsc in informatics as my second option. All my documents are being processed in Germany from Language school, up to Studienkolleg and the University afterwards. I will be based in Cologne (this is where I hope to have my language course done). The student advisor in charge of my application suggested I take up an offer at a University of Applied Science (UAS) rather than a traditional research university (TU) because of the availability of job opportunities for students even before graduation. The jury is still out on what I will choose (Whether TU or UAS) but for now I will go along with his advice. They will also be handling the processing of my insurance as well.

I am being sponsored and therefore do not require opening a blocked account. Currently I am in the process of getting my WAEC and other certifications I had gotten afterwards, notarized at the German Embassy in Abuja. Hope to get that done by the end of today and I will be sending it via courier with DHL (I no get strength for NIPOST and their wahala abeg... Better soup na money kill am). If all goes well today, my documents should arrived in Germany by Thursday or Friday this week as DHL promised to have it delivered in 3 days.


My Journey So Far
My sponsor is an old friend of my dad and they lost touch for many years. Sadly he passed away while I was in high school. Fast forward to early this year, thanks to the power of social media (and my penchant for unnecessary research when I cant sleep) I reconnected with my dad's friend and turns out he was visiting Nigeria and Abuja was on his list. We met up and talked, asked about my plans for the future and I told him about my plans for Germany. He was really impressed when he found out I spoke a bit of German on my own (I studied online and can maintain a semblance of a basic conversation) and later said I should begin looking at study options in Germany for which he would pay for.

He recommended a Language school and I got in touch with them (and a few others in Berlin and Cologne as well), But the one my sponsor recommended were more than willing to work with me (they also have a campus in Berlin as well in case anyone is looking to go there). They offer a university pathway program for about 2600euros (incl. Language courses from A1-B1). Then studienkolleg and Universty afterwards.

I have other certifications but they are not recognised but Anabin (the directory for all things certification in Germany). So it is deemed that I have only WAEC, and this is why I have to take up studienkolleg for 2 semesters after my B1 language course (you cannot go past B1 if you are heading to Studienkollege).

If you are already in a public university or any institution recognized by National Universities Commmission (NUC) and want to transfer to Germany, you can avoid 1 year of studienkolleg by providing them with your transcripts of your time in school. With these you can apply directly to University after completing your B2 or C1 German course and taking the TestDAF exam.

So today, I will be visiting the German Embassy in Abuja and will get my documents shipped off afterwards... Its free what from what the embassy told me if you are notarizing you documents for University.... Will keep you updated

Cheers

Thank you for this information I want to also study BSc in Germany.

Please I need help.
Thanks

temzybabe:
lol abi. Mine was even worse. Always glued to my phone. When my phone dies, I sleep and when I wake up I eat. Just imagine that kind of life? Very pathetic. When did you apply?

I have gotten admission to university of Manitoba for September 2016. But I am waiting for my US sponsor to transfer $10000cad for living expense since the school didn't ask me to pay any deposit to reserve seat. I will apply by 2nd week of may latest.. Pls send me a mail to this email nonsomaduba@gmail.com

Can one apply for TRV from Ghana?

temzybabe:
Beware of destination addiction. The idea that happiness is in the next place, next job or even with the next partner. Until you give up the idea that happiness is somewhere else, it will never be where you are. I know what some of us are going through cus of this cic delay but we shouldn't allow them determine our future for us. That we applied for visa doesn't mean we should just sleep and eat all day waiting for cic to reply us. Let's find something doing. Apply for jobs or something. I was like dt abt a month ago. I was always staring at my phone. Checking mails every minute. I couldn't eat well or sleep well. I know Canada is a good country but then, are we going to kill ourselves? To be honest, if they don't give me this visa I won't reapply cus I can't go through this a second time. And immediately I realized this, I started another application to another country. Now I sleep well. Of course Canada is better than the other country I applied to but trust me anywhere is better than Nigeria presently. And not going to Canada first doesn't mean one cannot go to Canada in future. After nysc, I didn't even bother to write any cv cus I felt shebi I'm going to Canada ni. But really it shouldn't be like dt. It should be in such a way that the visa is going to be a bonus when it eventually comes through. There's nothing bad in having to choose from different options at d end of the day. The main thing I'm trying to say is that we should try to engage in productive things and not just sleep, eat, read nairaland lol, and wait for mails from cic. God didn't create us for just that. We shouldn't allow Canada give us hypertension

Well said. , mine used to be US embassy I used to believe that I shouldn't engage my self in anything since I was going to the US soon until the embassy burst my bubbles thrice.
I have now engage in a job that keeps me busy to even read naira land steady talk less of check up on my application. If CIC like let them give me visa, if they don't like they should hold it... I won't kill myself.

abestine:
Is there anybody here heading to U of Manitoba this fall?

Yes I will be going to Manitoba this fall, I have gotten the admission letter need help with the visa processing. My agent charge is outrageous...

Goodday friends,
Pls is it necessary for an undergraduate to provide land documents he inherited from dad to the embassy when applying for visa. If yes, what can of documents do I need to provide? how can I get the document, and how much. Thanks

[quote author=tosanlfaith post=43943254][/quote]really? pls hook me up on this email, nonsomaduba@gmail.com i forget the password for the email i used to open nairaland account. i wanna ask u some questions... thanks

@domex007

It's a very tight one.
Can you list the documents you submitted as per employment and personal finances.

How much was in the pay slips tendered?
How much was in ur soa

i am going for undergrad..

gurus i hail ooo!
after waiting for my gcms file for almost 2 months, they sent it to me on friday (94 pages) most pages were my cic forms and personal docs of me and my sponsor.
Truly canad and US share information, it was stated there, they matched some of my biography with the once i submitted at the US embassy in
2013,
2014
and 2015 when i applied for student visa which was refused i was advised by US consular in my last interview to try my education else where thats why i picked canada.
this is the officer's note:
Docs n notes reviewed conclusion: Limited previous travel demonstrated - Limited family ties - applicantis single and young with no listed dependants - concerns over personal finances. Majority of financial documents sumitted are for a third party. Not satisfied that applicant will readily have access to the available funds stated on application forms. Applicant has not provided compelling reasons to study in canada. Unclear why applicant would incur cost of relocating to canada to rather that undertake similar course of study in country of residence. Concerns applicant is using study permit as means to facilitate entry to canada rather than educational advancement. Based on available information, i am not satisfied that applicant will leave canada after end of authorised stay. Study permit refused..
application date :
2015/nov.
sponsor: Uncle Dad's brother. (US citizen) medical doctor.
reason: my dad is late that why he is funding me
statement of account: $100,000usd
course nursing
school: conestoga college
fees: $13750 (paid part tuition of $6750) to conestoga
reasons for refusal ticked; Travel history, personal asset and financial issues, purpose of visit, family ties in canada and nigeria.

To all in the trend: i need your input, if there is any need applying again cos i dont even know where to start tackling these issues. honestly i am tired and frustrated. i have spent a lot of money on US and canada

domex007:

bucade11:
Is it compulsory to pay part of tuition fee of 1500 cnd for conestoga college before proceeding to TRV application?

yes, you have to pay to reserve ur seat

Amefrica:
Yeah, I am currently studying at UPEI, it is a pretty beautiful school. The province is VERY small compared to other provinces. For UnderGrads, it usually takes anywhere from 1 week to 2 weeks to decide on your application. To pay your school fees, you can use International Wire Transfer, or pay in cash at the accounting office. Let me know if you have more questions. Visit www.upei.ca for more generic info!

sup bro, how is d nursing program for ug at upei. tnks

bosypumpin:
@domexx007, i contacted a friend in Canada who did that for me.

@ the friend who asked for the meaning of gcms file, try google no offence meant, it is a request usually made by persons whose study leave application had been refused just to know what the mind of the V.O was at the time of refusal.

@notarizing doc, if ure in Lagos, find your way to Ikeja High Court, just after LASUTH; If ure on the mainland, there are so many notaries public close to the High Court in Igbosere.

@louisilva, cant open ur PM dont know why oooo.
@hayqinx, na thesoj go answer that q oooo; i am but a learner too

# I stand to be corrected#

am sorry bro, i mean how long (days/weeks/months) did it take u or ur friend to get the gcms file?

bosypumpin:
hi everyone, been a while here. i have been reading and observing silently and May our desires come through in the name of the living God.

@ hayqinfxb - my paddy from part 7, hmmm, I'm still rooting for you and you must gerrit. hope u finally requested for and got ur gcsmc file? I applied for mine and was shocked at the notes the V.O made. I surely intend refiring by March, gathering my documents for now.

@the soj, happy new year the man from the 5eyed countries. thank you for your input. I have tackled the foremost reason as discussed in our mail of last year and would have sent you an e-mail but for the response as regards PM. i know how busy you are right now and hereby openely admit that you are a life saver and a man with a large heart. Thank you in advance of my forthcoming mails
