Daveconsult007:
It's not a must to have a niece or nephew same surname because women can be married out of the family.
But provide proof of relationship and explain it on your SOP

JMG12:
Either you adopt her legally or you get consent from the parent with proof of your assistance to her

emmyoddy:
Well done for all your tireless efforts. I have my nephew staying with me and I want to include him and my kids in my application so they can join me later. What documents do I need to submit for my nephew since he's not my biological child. Please kindly help.

What documents do I need to submit for my children too so that I can apply for them later on.
For now I will be applying for myself and my spouse as dependent.

Thanks for your responses

Luada:
Yes just make sure you are able to convice the vo that all and have a good inflow and outflow

emmyoddy:

The inflow and outflows are not in millions.

All thanks to Allah (SWT) which of His blessings will I deny? Walohi none. And also a big salute to my very own guru @makano that man was there for me from the begging to the end, he rendered a complete service, he even went above and beyond what was expected, he made sure every document was well placed before submission.

I've received my stamped passport so I'm going to post my timeline and documents i submitted below. First time applicant.

Application submitted: December 3rd 2022
Biometrics: December 13th 2022
Medical request: February 15th 2023
The day I did Medicals: March 3rd 2023
Passed Medicals: March 8th 2023
PPR: March 14th 2023
Submitted passport: March 23rd 2023
Passport ready: April 3rd 2023
(I would have gotten it earlier if I did not waste time to do some things like Biometrics and Medicals, my advice is that if you want your PPR earlier, when they send you request to do Biometrics or Medicals, go ASAP)

Documents submitted (I didn't submit more than required) I am self sponsored, I did everything myself aside from the LOE/SOP that my brother and I did together
All the required forms
International passport Scan (no travel history)
Passport photograph of myself (Canada standard)
Letter of Acceptance with receipt of first semester paid (around 8000 CAD)
Detailed Letter of Explanation/Statement of Purpose with my resume/CV attached.
(My advice for your LOE is to make sure you mention you are coming back to Nigeria. Don't just imply you are coming back. Put that "when I get back to Nigeria etc" even if it's a lie. The Visa officer needs to know that you are going to come back. And I saw on one YouTube video during my research not to hype canada up too much, don't say something like "Canada is a great country, great employment opportunities etc" because the visa officers already know that. All they are hearing is that "Canada is good and you will not be coming back to Nigeria." What I did was that I said I was going to Canada to LEARN and I stated I will be coming back to Nigeria. I mentioned my family as home ties, put as many home ties as you can. I did not submit any photo of my family or birth certificate or any of that)

Proof of funds: Around 16m (it's only me going)
I submitted both my domiciliary account and naira account bank statement of four months for both. I put the receipt of tuition paid, along with the contracts from companies I've worked with and the payslips from when the paid me. The payslips showed tax deduction so I did not get tax clearance certificate.

I didn't do police clearance

You don't need agent to do anything, you can do everything yourself. Just make sure you get someone you trust to go over your LOE and POF to make sure you're putting the right thing. These two things I think are what really make your application strong. I took a whole month to write and edit that LOE and even the POF just so I could make sure I did everything right.

Arrange everything like it's a story, just imagine you're a visa officer going through hundreds of application, you don't have time to waste, so don't waste the VO's time either. Arrange it well, put everything in order, make sure you explain everything in detail. Explain any lump sum, explain anything that will make the visa officer stop and ask why.

I don't know about other people but not only did I put bank statements, payslips etc in my POF, I started explaining anything money related, I used a whole page to talk about where the money came from, how company paid me and so on.
Then I used the LOE/SOP to only talk about myself, why and what I want to study in Canada and home ties. I thought this would help someone, you can use your POF as kind of a LOE regarding money incase you don't have space in ur LOE, but be careful you're not putting a whole essay inside your POF, no beat around the bush, save the main talk for your LOE/SOP.

Another thing a YouTube video mentioned is that anything you say in your LOE/SOP cannot be unsaid so BE CAREFUL. Don't write one made up story, if they reject you and you try and take back what you said or change it, it will not help your case. Be very very careful you are telling the truth or at least, you are not telling a lie.

Nairaland truly helped me when I was applying, i was on it the whole day researching and i owe this forum a lot so thats why im saying all this. Do you research, pray and everything will be okay!
Sorry if my thing is scattered but I hope you guys get my point : ) goodluck to everyone!

Calmdancer21:
This post is not intended to discourage anyone trying to come to Canada Rather my aim is to help make you better prepared.
1) Cheap tuition are often found in provinces where part time jobs might be very limited. As of today some students in Nova Scotia are having a really tough time financially. So please do your research.
2) Canadian schools are doing their best to cash out from international students which results in high number of admissions but please research about courses, do not pick course out of sentiments because coursework can be demanding. Imagine someone coming here with a kid and doing an M.eng course.
3) money is very important, student life limits your ability to hustle, yes people survive but not everyone has high threshold of handling pressure/stress.
Finally let’s populate Canada 🇨🇦 good luck and it shall rain PPR this month.

Anxiousman101:

quinstershaw:
Hello,
Do a part of the funds need to be in the students account even if the sponsor is a parent or everything can be in the parents account?

Does anyone have an idea, what could have caused this

YOLOGOLD:
Hello everyone,

Please I have some questions I need your advice on.

I have had 2 Canada student visa refusals and I am working on re-applying soon. Although, I have now realized somethings I did wrong with both applications that were refused.

First Application: I used an agent that didn't care about the outcome of the application but just to get their money. I was refused with 4 refusal reasons.

Second Application: I did the application myself. I didn't pay part of the tuition, my admission was for a diploma and I have a bachelors degree and some diplomas with over 10 years of work experience. Now I realize that was me shooting myself in the foot. My application was refused with just 1 refusal reason.

Since my last application though my life has changed for the better.

1. I have gotten married. I think this gives a boost to the application (not sure)
2. Significant increase in my income

etc.


I don't know if the university of admission also plays a role in one's chances of getting PPR.

I plan on getting admission for a Masters degree this time around.

What University would you advice I apply for admission to. Please bear in mind, I am in the tech industry, a Software Engr. with over a decade of professional work experience.

PLEASE I WILL REALLY APPRECIATE IF I COULD GET A RESPONSE.

Danilvex:
I had a third party sponsor with about 36m and I backed it up with my personal account where my dad sent me 2.5 as my co-sponsor.
I’m going alone and I didn’t pay the tuition
