Good afternoon guys,
Kindly advise, at the Port of Entry, for a student Visa holder, is it wise to carry a WES evaluation certificate along?

As part of document

carry every documents you can get your hands on, it is better you have too much documents with you than little documents when you need them.

remember you will be leaving home for a very long time, You will be needing a lot of documents and certificate to establish yourself in canada or even get a job.

to get a security job in canada, you need some sort of certificate and also need to pass certain exams.

Hello House!!!!!

I am applying for STUDY PERMIT and visitor for my WIFE and 3 KIDS.
I want them to move to Canada with me this September but I want to explain in my sop to make it look like they need the Vistor visa to visit me while in school during their holidays and my graduation.

I don’t want to mention we are travelling together in my sop with the hope that my 9, 6 and 4 years old kids will convert to study.

My question is , should I tick yes or no in the family form where they ask ( wil accompany you to canada YES or NO) and hope this idea is good.
I don’t know how strong my POF is, I have only paid for my first semester tuition of 10,000 CAD and I have 63 million naira left in my Acc

Please your input will be highly appreciated

Tick Yes and explain why you need them with you in canada.
to be honest its not about the money in your account, I have seen people with 140m still get refused and also those with only 18m also get approved and refused.

The power of your application lies in the foundation of your SOP.
don't stop writing, continue writing until you can no longer think of what to write.
my SOP was almost 45 pages long and i got my visa in 8 days.

Hello Guys, good morning

To give back to the community and to share my experience (based on true story, I got my Canada Student visa in 8days, Immediately after biometric they requested for my passport same day)

I will share some good pointers to help people struggling and those who might have gotten refusal.

First I would say no visa is guaranteed and it takes the grace of God and enough explanation (my SOP was 20-45 pages, Yes you read that right)

I see a lot of people selling their property but they are ways you can move to Canada without selling your properties In Nigeria, At least that Is what I did.

First you want to talk to yourself as if you were a VO.
Ask yourself some very difficult questions and be realistic that if you told someone else, Would they would be satisfied as you are with your answers.

Remember the VO will not call you on the phone to ask you question regarding your application or if you made any mistake, I am speaking from experience as I did my whole visa application myself without the help of an agent.

It took me 6 months to gather every information I needed and it was a first time application. So speak about your application with the mindset of not hearing back while trying to answer every possible question the VO might have in mind.

I want you to start by introducing yourself to this VO. They don’t know you or even your past life, when you are introducing yourself, try to also add photos of any past event or memory in that your introduction.

Highlight your current life situation in Nigeria and how you feel studying in Canada will improve yourself and career, emphasis on your career

Do not stop talking about your career!!!

Moving on, talk about your immediate family, remember to show pictures as well.

Do not just mention “Oh I have a senior brother blah blah blah, try to paint a picture in the mind of the VO so they can see you and this strange person (the brother) you have mentioned.

Sometimes it is not about the money in your account it is how you prioritize your career and how you sound determined in your SOP.

While you are doing this steps, remember to label your write up so it makes sense, that even if the VO jumps from page 1 to page 5 and back to page 3 without, it will make sense to them without missing any point.

If you have the funds, add a GIC to your application, if you can’t they are other ways you can proof cash availability.

I got my student visa in 8days from Nigeria and got a 10years visitor visa In Canada.

Remember there’s no such thing as too many documentation, you are literally writing to a human being that will not ask you question or respond back to until they have concluded their process (Decision).

Take your time to explain your funds available to you as much as you can, it doesn’t matter if you have 4 Million or 120 Million Naira , if your explanation is not tight enough, your visa can be refused based on generic reasons.

Remember this VO doesn’t trust you, you have to build up trust by adding extra ordinary proof to every of your statement you make.

Omo Canada Hard o!!!
Better come with knowledge, skills or money or you go suffer eh, e go be like say make you D*e but you no go gree d*e

BEST OF LUCK!!!

To give back to the community, I will be answering some asked questions.

1. How did I make payment ?
Ans: you need to go to a either access bank or any other bank, open a dollar bank account and request for dollar card either visa or master card, that way you will be able to pay online. I used access so I was able to even transfer my tuition fee from access bank app once I had the school complete bank details, I used my dollar card to make payment to IRCC.

2. Why was my SOP so long,
Ans: I basically saw the IRCC people as babies, I needed to explain everything like I was talking to a 5years old, as I was mentioning something, I’m also attaching photos proof, not just tell them I have shoe without putting the picture of the shoe.

Docs I submitted
1. LOA, GIC, company bank statement and personal, landed docs, family photos, all school certificates,


I hope I was able to help,

Now please I need help with how to begin my SOWP.

Do I use my profile or create a new profile for my wife SOWP, please someone should respond please.

To the best of my knowledge, all documents I provided where genuine.

From my bank statement to everything else, came directly from me

But the two document I didn’t provide are the hotel and flight reservations and he paid for my appointment and everything else.


The problem now is I don’t how this agent provided this two documents mentioned above.

I can’t 100% say about the genuineness of this reservations as I didn’t book them myself.

The agent was not honest, I started to notice this very late and honestly that was when I knew oh now I need to sit right and find out what was going on.

But it was too late as my application has already been submitted weeks before..

CLASSMAN:
How about the worst case scenario of he was banned for fake documents?

From what I can remember cause this happened years ago,

The agent received an email which he got that my application process has started which he showed to me via screenshot then, the email came from tls.

After then, nothing else from him.

I tried contacting the embassy but I couldn’t provide enough information to trace my application.

I tried contacting the agent as well, nothing.

I waited but never got the passport back so I declared it missing and applied for a new one.

Apriltreasure:

You declared the passport missing? You didn’t contact the embassy first about your passport? There are two scenario here, either the agent never submitted your application or he never collected your passport from the embassy. If he never submitted it then a missing passport is not a problem, but he if submitted it and never collected it back, then I don’t know it could maybe be a problem. Didn’t you receive any emails from the embassy or anything?

Hello Gurus in the house,

Please I need your kind assistance,

In 2016, I used a third party for my visit visa to the UK.

A move I regret till today, I lost money, time and everything.

I applied using an agent,

Sadly after waiting several weeks, the agent was not showing any interest or concerns,

I went for biometric, I was naive at that time and just left everything to the faith of this agent because I believed in his sweet lies.

I didn’t get my passport back, I waited for close to 4-6months then declared the passport as lost so I can process a new passport which I eventually did

I had no idea if I was refused or approved the visa.

Please Guru in the house,

I’m deeply worried, if I knew the circumstances of my last application, I would be able to know how to navigate the new application I wish to apply for this year ending.

Is there anyway to go about this or how best can I present a new application for a visit visa.


I look forward to your kind response
