To God be all the glory...
This journey started in March 2022, I was granted admission into Georgian College. My passport was to expire in May 2022 so I had to apply for a new passport. I got the new passport and submitted my application by June last year for my family (wife and 2 year old daughter), biometrics in June, and Medicals in August 2022.

After a series of waiting, I was refused Visa in October 2022.

Reason
1. Finance (I initially used my inlaw with a balance of 40m in his account as my sponsor)
2. Home tie

Demoralized, but the realization that I will not have to pay for biometrics, and medical and I will only be paying the application fee motivated me.

I reapplied alone eventually on Jan 23, 2023, and to my amazement and God's glory, I got PPR on Feb 13.

As I speak now, I have my Visa and by God's grace, I shall be heading to Barrie shortly.

If you are going to Barrie, kindly send me a DM. I am in Abuja.

What I did differently?
1. I applied alone (using my family as home tie)
2. I showed more money in my account - 100k Canadian

For further information on funds related issues, send a DM

Thank you brother. Congratulations

Good afternoon FAM.

Pls I would like to know when ucalgary will commence 2023 Fall admission.

Thanks.

Google is your friend.

Jessica50:
you are welcome.
As a newbie in canada it can be hard to get a job because employers like work experience like breakfast ,lunch and dinner. I have seen some students waiting to get the job of their dream for months and their parents are still sending them money for their rents and other expenses to the point they are relaxing, not knowing they need to build resume. Take advantage of volunteering in school too, its helps to get jobs.

Exactly. Thank you sis

Dejmax:
please guys i need advice cos i don't know what to do ....my wife visa was denied last year december because there was no proof of intent to leave Canada after her program ends...and failure to prove adequate financial resources... i had 28m in my account as POF yet they denied her application..we've applied for another school in canada and she has been offered admission..how we start another visa processing?...do i need appeal? I'm ready to add additional money to my balance or better still use company's account..also what other things do i need to provide to convince them ..? i have alot of questions ..please

Probably you are using most of the company fund to sponsor, remember your business is a separate entity.

Except if you have another source of funds apart from the business.

People with less money are getting approval so it depends.

My one cent that I gathered from here.

My parents gave birth to 11 of us.
I have been thinking how I will be submitting 10 siblings birth certificates and my parents have no birth certificate in their time.

Should I avoid this family information.

Note: I'm married so can I use only my husband's information. A bit confused.

Jessica50:

Thank you so much

I know someone in Abuja

Aphrodite007:
Lol thanks. I thought too much info may make them miss out on what’s important and sometimes compressing files makes the texts illegible.

UBC - uni of Brit Columbia

Lol. Very thoughtful of you.
Congratulations once again

babineli:
My tuition fee is 11,690Cad dollars, living expenses I have is 15,000cad dollars. So the total money I have in naira is 9million naira, my course is a year course @ Nova Scotia

Try make tuition deposit if it's requested.

Well I think you are good to go.


Gurus can also advice.

beeslim:
please i have a very important question regards POF..

1) POF must someone leave it in the account until the visa is out.

2) POF if (1) is no, can i remove it after printing the statement.

3) please i need a clear blueprint on how this POF works exactly.

From what I've read so far, they may check and you may be lucky, they will not check.

With MBS (my bank statement) they can check easily which is what's in Vogue now instead of printing statement of account.

All the best

Eje18:
Well. When I submitted my application in August , I showed Pof of 5million in niara and 8000usd in dollar. But in the month of December. I had to transfer all my money in my niara account to another bank because of zenith bank wahala. So when my PPR came out this February, I had just 155,000 naira in the account. So I feel they work with what you give them.

I don't think it's in all cases. It could be luck.

Did you move the 8000USD too which is a strong back up fund?

Aphrodite007:
Long post!!! (pls shorten post if you want to reply)

Been a silent reader, can’t thank you all enough for your selfless work, it really helped me. I‘m adopting ogidigan’s method because I think dropping a profile is important. I was desperate for peoples profiles to know if their circumstance was similar to mine.

1st time applicant (though I have an EE profile). 30 year old married (separated) female, self sponsored, living and working in the UK & Nigerian nationality. I studied computing in bsc & msc and I build business software so this is a logical progression- I explained this & that I wanted a promotion in my LOE as reason for study.

Proof of Ties:
Showed ties to Nigeria by mentioning my parents in Nigeria. Showed ties to UK with my residence permit, wedding certificate to husband (Brit), my registered company & tax documents, my property documents. Obviously not traveling with hubby so I used he and my sister that lives with me as ties. Also Mentioned how the average earning of my field in Canada is less than Uk so I’ll be inclined to return to the Uk (lol I don’t plan to).

- The IMMs that applied to me.
- Visa stamps on current intl passport.
- screenshot of email from Uni confirming they didn’t want any instalment towards my tuition.
- Upfront med cert
- Letter for internship (coop work permit)
- Conditional Offer letter (they were waiting for my transcripts)

Congratulations. Simple documents and not those intimidating bulky documents some people supplied.

Sorry which school did you get admission?

babineli:
I’m thinking of self sponsorship, I just started POF for month of February while im thinking of printing out bank statement between February- April which is 3months bank statement instead of 4months. Is it advisable to print out 4months. If I print out 4months bank statement I will have to submit my application by June. I’m not sure if a decision will be made before August 4th because I’m expected to submit my visa status to my school on or before august 4th. So I’m really confused at this point. I need help. In addition the money that was credited in my account was the money I got from my car that I sold. This money is my personal money, do I still have to wait for 4months to prove that the money is my personal money on there’s another way I can go about it so I can submit my application earlier. Thanks

For proper guidance, I think you need to tell how much you have and how many years program you are going for.
The money has to stay in the account and you have to give evidence of transaction for lump sum.

Feb to may is 4 months which is the standard.

PPR can/may also come before August based on the fast timelines we are seeing.
All the best

MotolaniBolaji:
Glory be to God Almighty because it is only him that can do this miracle.

arena07:
Good morning nairalanders, I want to study data science (Masters) but the issue is that most the universities I searched online offer the course for nine months (approx 1 year) which means 1 year PGWP. I need help on schools that offer the course for 2 years to so as to enable me for 3 years PGWP.

You can apply for it then immediately after that program, you apply for another program making 1+1 which gives you 3 years PGWP

Kirfred:
It's a PPR!!!!!
God of miracle has done mine too

Though I just registered my Nairaland account yesterday but I've been on Nairaland forum for more than a year. Reading and getting information from here. Nairaland really helped me with the needed information. God bless everyone here

PPR 9th February, 2023
Self application
4 years course
May resumption

Pls can anyone help me on how to go about my 2 kids applications. They are of Age 5 &10

Congratulations.
Is it PPR for you and your spouse (SOWP)?
How much is your POF?

Shayo5:
hi, I showed my salary account which did not have much( i sent it to match my payslips), my other account had 3M then my husbands account had about 8M.

it was just study permit application without SOWP

try to calculate your school fees + living expenses+ flight/miscelleneous expenses in CAD that should give your a rough estimate of what you should present , if you can add a little more to let the VO know you will be comfortable even if you do not get a job.

Some people have presented POF with a lot of money and still get denied, I was denied the first time on the basis of insufficient funds and i reapplied with the same accounts and it was eventually approved. I only focused on the proof of funds part of my SOP, gave a more detailed breakdown of the funds available and the source, added supporting letter from my husband proof of ID and employment.

Also add a list of the documents your are uploading for each section, it lets the VO know what he/she is looking at

Thank you so much sis.

Is it a one year program?




Please I will like to connect with you through your email if you don't mind.
I'm a female.

Thanks a lot.

@Makano

These gurus can guide you too.

Marketing is good. If you take your time to read backwards, you will see a lot of schools people are getting admission to.
Also watch YouTube videos on schools and colleges in Canada and you will get more information.

Remember that a one year program will give a one year Post graduate work permit which most times, the one is short to process permit residency and a 2 years program gives you 3 years PGWP.
Research more and read more on nairaland. You won't miss road. You may not need an agent if you do more research.
Blessings

Shayo5:
no, i did not, I paid for one semester and the acceptance fee.

I paid about $8k+CAD, the showed 10K(living expenses) and 3k travel expenses

Congratulations

How much did you show as your balance in your own account?

And your sponsor's account?

Is it only study permit approval or with SOWP?

We are learning please.
Thanks

samefiok:
I just dey wonder 🤔 😂 what if person use bolt raise him POF and also use Bolt earnings when VO ask for source of funds if na red flag 😆,boss is your program Msc?

It's bolt app you screen shot as evidence

Legitmenaija:
Congratulations Bro.

Seems you applied yourself.


Reading about failures by Visa agents and requests for another 1,000 CAD to reapply for the visa is somehow discouraging.

Can i apply for study permit myself?

Can someone kindly assist me with the process.

I already paid 1st semester tuition deposit. I will pay 2nd semester with form A next week.


I want to commence study permit application but confused whether to use an agent (Visa agent license bY IRCC) or the admission consult team that helped me secure the admission. or do it myself.

If anyone will be willing to assist me through the process, kindly indicate or send me a mail legithustlingbabe@gmail.com.

The last 2 people with testimonials of PPR said they are willing to assist anyone as a way of giving back to the platform.
Why not contact them? Anyone is no one.

Sorry to ask. Is church marriage certificate acceptable?
Which church did you get married? Does the certificate have the coat of arms ontop of it?
If not go to a marriage registry and apply for a marriage certificate.

Na Methodist badge o

Ladygracy:
If it is catholic or Anglican church, i don't think there is any course for alarm, well recognised.

It is Methodist Church of Nigeria(MCN)

How about it?

Ucy12:
Hi!
Church marriage certificate may normally not be acceptable for such administrative purposes. I advise you go to the registry and make enquiries. Explain the situation and see if there's an option. If there's a possibility of getting you both married in court, but using the date on your church marriage certificate, that'll be pretty good for you.
Just go explain and ask if the


above BOLDEN is possible.

All the best!
Ucy.

Thanks bro. I will do the needful

don4real:
Yes as far the church got it from the registry. I used the church certificate for my application

It is the church own certificate. Not related to registry. Methodist Church of Nigerian certificate.
