Lance008: It's common for proof of funds (POF) to come from personal accounts. However, it's important to note that immigration authorities typically prefer to see that the funds have been in your account for a certain period of time to ensure stability and authenticity. While it's possible to transfer funds temporarily for statement purposes, it's crucial to be transparent and provide a clear explanation in your application about the purpose of the transfer. It's also imperative to show that the funds are genuinely available to cover your tuition fees and other expenses. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Good luck with your application! πβ¨ It will end in praise |

Popson09: It's great that you're preparing to reapply for your visa application. Let's address your questions: 1. Based on the information you provided, it seems like you have a substantial amount of funds in your personal and fixed accounts. As an expert in the Canadian immigration industry, I can provide an official assessment based on my experience that the amount you have shown should be sufficient for the proof of funds (POF) requirement. 2. Regarding your fixed account, it's possible that Canadian immigration authorities may have some questions or concerns about the liquidation of those funds. It's important to be transparent and provide a clear explanation in your application, including the timeline for liquidating the funds and how they will be used for your tuition fees. It's always better to be well-prepared and seek professional advice to ensure a smooth application process. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

Pheranmie2023: I'm really sorry to hear about the recent denials for your husband's spousal work permit and study visa for your children. It can be disheartening when things don't go as planned. When reapplying, it's crucial to provide accurate and complete information on the application form, including any previous visa denials. Transparency is key in these situations. Make sure to mention the previous denials in the appropriate section of the form and provide any necessary explanations or supporting documents that may help strengthen your case. Truthfully, explain to the officer in the explanation letter that you've no intention to withhold any information from them. You've realised your mistakes and now respectfully requesting that they reconsider him. Persistence pays off! Don't get discouraged and keep pushing forward.

Gabriel2005: Absolutely, you can use a Standard Chartered Private Bank statement of account, especially if it includes investment statements, as proof of funds (POF) for your Canadian visa application. Investment statements can be a valid form of demonstrating your financial capacity. However, it's important to note that Canadian immigration authorities have specific requirements for proof of funds, so it's always a good idea to double-check with the bank to ensure that your chosen statement doesn't have any encumbrances.

Mspiipii24: When it comes to proving your funds for a Canadian visa application, it's generally recommended to provide a bank statement from a recognized commercial bank in Nigeria. Canadian immigration authorities tend to prefer bank statements from traditional financial institutions, rather than microfinance banks. Using a bank statement from a recognized commercial bank will help ensure that your proof of funds meets the requirements set by the Canadian immigration authorities.

Collins399: I can see your eagerness to explore your options for reapplying for a Canadian visa while your appeal process is still ongoing. However, it's generally recommended to wait for a decision to be communicated on your appeal before submitting a new visa application. This way, you'll have a clearer understanding of the outcome of your appeal and can make a more informed decision about your next steps. Waiting for the appeal decision will also give you a chance to gather any additional information or documentation that may strengthen your case for the visa reapplication. Patience can be tough, but it's important to have a comprehensive strategy in place. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

Euroadams: I can definitely help clarify those points for you: 1) Regarding your first question, it's actually not necessary to include the donor's account statement when submitting a gift deed. While it's always good to have supporting documentation, the focus is usually on establishing the authenticity of the gift deed itself rather than the donor's financial details. However, it's important to be prepared to provide additional information if requested by the immigration authorities. So, it's a good idea to keep the donor's account statement handy just in case. 2) I totally get what you mean about the number of documents people submit! The Visa Officer (VO) is skilled at reviewing applications and can distinguish between the different documents even if they're not labeled individually. However, it's still a good idea to organize your documents in a clear and logical manner. You can group them by category, such as financial documents, educational records, and personal identification etc. This makes it easier for the VO to navigate through your application and find the relevant information. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask. Good luck with your application! ππ It will end in praise 1 Like |

AtoningBlood: For a student visa in Canada, the amount of funds required for a family of four is about 40M in view of the current exchange rate. Generally, you'll need to show proof of funds to cover the tuition fees for the duration of the program, as well as living expenses. As for the duration, since it's a 2-year course, you'll typically need to provide proof of funds for the entire duration of the program. This means you'll need to show enough funds to cover tuition fees and living expenses for both years. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask here.

davizfx: Hey there! I understand your concern about transferring lump sums from your personal account to your Proof of Funds (POF) account for your study visa application. It's always a good idea to provide a clear explanation of the sources of the funds to ensure transparency in your application. In your case, where you've sold properties worth a significant amount, it would be wise to include an explanation of the sales and provide any relevant evidence, such as sale agreements or bank statements showing the funds being deposited into your salary account. This will help strengthen your application and demonstrate the legitimacy of the funds. Note, the goal is to provide a clear and accurate picture of your financial situation to the immigration authorities. By explaining the sources of the lump sum and providing supporting evidence, you can help alleviate any concerns the visa officer may have and increase the chances of a successful application.

gboyecares: It's great that you're considering the study route as a way to relocate to Canada with your family. From what you've shared, it is indeed possible for the remaining family members to accompany a minor on a study visa to Canada. According to the Canadian Immigration website, when a minor child is studying in Canada, their parents or legal guardians can apply for a study permit or a visitor visa to accompany them. This means that both you and your wife, as parents, can apply for a study permit or a visitor visa to join your son in Canada while he pursues his undergraduate degree. As for your other children, it's important to note that the Canadian Immigration website does not explicitly mention whether siblings can accompany a minor on a study visa. I would recommend you apply for the siblings independently from the main applicant application as there is no such rule that favours them. Immigration regulations can be complex, so seeking professional guidance can help ensure that you have the most up-to-date and accurate information for your family's relocation plans. I hope this clarifies things for you! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask here. Good luck with your plans! π It will end in praise 1 Like |

Munchbite: I can relate that you're concerned about the impact of having a third-class degree on your chances of getting a visa for Canada. It's important to note that visa decisions are based on various factors, not solely on the class of your degree. When applying for a visa, the Canadian immigration authorities consider several aspects, including your purpose of travel, financial stability, ties to your home country, and overall admissibility. They assess whether you meet the requirements and are likely to comply with the terms of the visa. Having a third-class degree does not automatically disqualify you from obtaining a visa. It's essential to focus on other aspects of your application that can positively influence the decision. This includes demonstrating your intent to return to your home country after your visit, providing strong ties such as family, employment, or property, and showcasing your genuine reasons for visiting Canada. Please be advised that each visa application is evaluated on an individual basis, and there have been cases of individuals with various degree classifications successfully obtaining visas. It's crucial to present a well-prepared application, highlighting your strengths and addressing any concerns the visa officer may have. I hope this information helps!

Necksonnel: That's a great question! Post-secondary certificates in Canada can be quite useful for gaining specific skills and knowledge in a shorter period of time. While they may not carry the same weight as a full diploma or degree, they can still open doors to job opportunities. With a post-secondary certificate in Med Lab Assistant, you can acquire specialized training in the field of medical laboratory work. This can make you eligible for entry-level positions in healthcare settings, such as hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic laboratories. Many employers value practical skills and hands-on experience, which a certificate program can provide. However, it's important to note that the job market and requirements vary across different provinces and industries. Some positions may require higher qualifications, such as a diploma or degree, while others may value the specific skills gained from a certificate program. It's always a good idea to research the job market and speak with professionals in the field to get a better understanding of the specific requirements and opportunities. Considering your background in biochemistry, a post-secondary certificate in Med Lab Assistant could complement your existing knowledge and enhance your career prospects in the healthcare industry. It's also worth considering your long-term career goals and whether pursuing a diploma program aligns better with those goals. Ultimately, the decision between a post-secondary certificate and a diploma program depends on your personal circumstances, career aspirations, and financial considerations. It may be helpful to weigh the cost, duration, and potential job prospects of each option before making a decision. I hope this helps you in making an informed choice! How to explain your case to the visa officer. When applying for a study visa, a strong and well-worded Statement of Purpose (SOP) can make a significant difference. In your SOP, you can highlight your passion for the field, your relevant experience, and how the post-secondary certificate aligns with your career goals. By showcasing your determination and commitment, you can convince the visa officer of your potential and increase your chances of a successful application. Always focus on your unique strengths, such as your previous BSc in biochemistry, which shows your background knowledge in the field. Emphasize how the post-secondary certificate in Med Lab Assistant will complement your existing skills and enable you to make a valuable contribution in the healthcare industry. Crafting a persuasive SOP requires careful thought and attention to detail. Make sure to clearly articulate your goals, explain the reasons behind your decision to pursue a post-secondary certificate, and demonstrate your understanding of the field and its potential career opportunities. Good luck with your application, and don't hesitate to reach out if you need any further assistance! ππ It will end in praise |

Ashirew: Congrats on getting admission to NBCC Fall 2024! π I'll do my best to help answer your questions: 1. To determine how much you'll need in Nigerian Naira to sponsor yourself, you'll need to convert the Canadian dollar tuition fee to Naira. As exchange rates can fluctuate, it's best to check a reliable currency converter for the most accurate conversion such as www.xe.com or the check the Canadian website for exchange converter. 2. The best time to apply for the student visa is typically a few months (3 to 5 months) before your program starts. It's important to give yourself enough time to gather all the required documents and complete the application process. 3. It's great that you can raise 8 million Naira yourself! To reach your desired amount of 10 million Naira in your Providus account, you may want to consider the interest rate and the time it would take to accumulate the additional funds. Ensure the funds doesn't come in as a large deposit. 4. Having landed properties, like 5 plots, can be a positive aspect of your financial profile. It shows that you have assets that can contribute to your financial stability. Be sure to include any relevant documentation or proof of ownership when applying for the student visa. 5. Using two accounts for your visa application may be possible, but it's essential to follow the guidelines provided by the Canadian visa office in Nigeria. Make sure to provide all necessary documentation and explain the source of funds for both accounts to demonstrate your financial capacity. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Good luck with your student visa application! π€π It will end in praise 1 Like |

Tucode: It sounds like your friend is facing a tough decision between pursuing an MBA in Canada or an MSW in the UK. Both options have their pros and cons, so it's important to weigh them carefully. If your friend's main concern is the immigration pathway and stability, Canada might be a better choice. The PR pathway in Canada is known to be more straightforward and reliable. However, if your friend's true passion lies in social work and he believes it's a better fit for his skills and interests, then pursuing an MSW in the UK might be worth considering. Regarding job prospects, it's true that having an MSW can open up more opportunities in the field of social work. However, it's essential to research the specific requirements and qualifications needed to work as a social worker in Canada. Your friend may need to go through additional certification or licensing processes upon returning to Canada after completing the MSW in the UK. As for the MBA in a lower-rated university in Canada, it's important to remember that the reputation of the university is just one factor in finding a job. Networking, internships, and gaining practical experience can also play a significant role in securing employment after graduation. Encourage your friend to explore networking opportunities and build connections within the business community to enhance his chances of finding a good job. Ultimately, your friend should consider his long-term goals, personal interests, and the specific requirements of the career he wants to pursue. It may be helpful for him to speak with professionals if any in both fields and seek their advice based on his unique circumstances.

Damilola8139: Congrats on getting admission for Fall 2024 in Canada, that's awesome! π It sounds like you've been working hard to gather your proof of funds (POF) for your visa application. Having a total of #20 million naira, with #10 million saved on your own and #10 million from the agent, is definitely a strong POF. Since the bank statements you intend to use have your name on them and you're sponsoring yourself, you may not necessarily need a sponsorship letter. However, it's always a good idea to include a letter explaining your financial situation and how you've accumulated the funds. This can help provide additional clarity to the visa officer reviewing your application. Regarding your work, if it's not a registered business, I'll advice you to register it for the purpose of your visa application and explain why you've not deemed it necessary to do so all this while. However, if you have some landed properties that can serve as home ties, it's definitely a good idea to include documentation or proof of ownership for those properties. This can further demonstrate your ties to your home country and your intention to return after completing your studies. As you gather your visa documents, make sure to double-check all the requirements and guidelines provided by the Canadian embassy or consulate. It's always better to be well-prepared and provide all the necessary documentation to avoid any potential issues.

Mikkosh11: I can understand your concerns. When reapplying for your wife and daughter, it's absolutely possible to submit their own without including yourself in the application since you won't be traveling with them. This helps to build your family ties back home. Now, regarding the proof of funds (POF) situation, it's crucial to be open and honest in your application. If you removed the money from your account immediately after submitting the previous application, it's important to explain this fund transfer in your Letter of Explanation (LOE) for the reapplication. Be sure to provide a clear and detailed explanation for the fund transfer, including the reasons behind it. Building a new POF for a period of 4 months with the same bank should generally be acceptable. However, it's essential to provide proper documentation and evidence to support your new POF. This can include bank statements, savings accounts, fixed deposits, or any other financial assets that demonstrate your ability to support your wife and daughter during their stay.

ademma2022: Sorry to hear about the concerns raised by the visa officer regarding your access to funds. Let's address your questions: 1. To prove that you have access to the required funds, you can provide various supporting documents. These can include bank statements, investment portfolios, property ownership documents, or any other evidence that shows your financial capacity. It's important to demonstrate that you have the necessary funds readily available to cover your tuition fees and living expenses in Canada by also providing a bank reference letter showing that you're the sole owner of the account statement stated. 2. A bank statement is valid for one month. I don't think you can use the previous one you used in your last application. Make sure the updated statement clearly shows your mother's financial ability to support your studies abroad. 3. Since your admission is open until May entry, it's generally recommended to apply for your visa at least three months before your intended start date. This will allow sufficient time for processing and any additional document requests. I hope this helps! Best of luck with your reapplication. It will end in praise |
