[Thank you
Ive never had a formal education after secondary school.. I was actually going to practical nursing but was offered college prep due to my low biology grade so i can upgrade it... I finished high school in 2015 but I've been working for my bro n voluntarily in a hospital..

Hello Soso98,

With the high level of scrutiny for Nigerian applicants applying for a Canadian study permit, I would advice that you go for a bachelor's degree rather than a preparatory classes in biology that will determine your acceptance to study practical nursing (diploma) in a college. If it's your passion to further your study in the field of nursing, it's very easy for you to switch from the university to the school of your choice while in Canada. The core importance of going through this approach, is to increase your chances of securing a TRV as the visa officer will doubt your genuineness to study a preparatory classes considering your study gaps as well as you being able to continue your studies at the college in Canada. The visa officer will tag you as not a bona-fide student that is using study permit as a means to facilitate relocation into Canada rather than educational advancement.

Deride not what I say because of it's simplicity. Truth is always simple. It's your decision to make.

I wish you the best of luck!

Dear Frankrobbn1,

Im asking on behalf of someone else, please.

The sponsor for his PGraduate Degree is his British step father who is self-employed.
Based on the list below:

"Sponsor 2 Documents (father)
1. Letter of Sponsorship
2. Copy of Sponsor’s Letter of Employment
3. Pay slips
4. Copy of Sponsor’s Employee ID card
5. Copy of sponsors international passport
6. Statement of Account from Sponsor’s salary account.
7. Copy of Sponsor’s landed property
8. Copy of Approval and Survey Plan of Sponsor’s landed property
9. Shares or Investment account (Like T/bills) (if any)"

please, may I ask
i. about how much in pounds should reflect in the sponsor's bank account/statement?
ii. Is a personal account ever acceptable or must it be a personal account?
iii.will an ID be necessary other than an international passport?
iv. considering the stepfather is white, will only the marriage certificate with his mother be sufficient proof of a relationship?

Thank you very much.

1-) The funds available in the sponsor's account (step father) should be sufficient enough to cover for the applicant's first year tuition and living expenses and have some left for the sponsor's immediate family and personal welfare.

2-) I don't quite understand your second question, do you mean to say if company/cooperate account is ever acceptable for Canadian study visa or is it compulsory that it should be a personal account? If so, company account is also acceptable as proof of financial support although by so doing the sponsor must provide a bank reference letter stating clearly that he is the sole signatory to account or a board resolution letter attesting that the board of directors/share holders in the company are fully aware of this sponsorship and hence won't tend to pose any hindrance to the applicant's financial support during their stay in Canada.

3-) Preferably an international passport bio data page will be better in view of fact that the sponsor is a foreigner which will show that he is legally residing abroad and also would serve as proof of relationship b/w the applicant and sponsor. Therefore, I would suggest you include it.

4-) Marriage certificates is a strong proof of relationship make an effort to include them. Remember to also make reference to all of these in the applicant's personal letter.

Best of luck!

My elder sister completed a double degree in nursing and midwifery in U.I. she graduated 2015 and NYSC 2016/2017 and since then she has been working in a private hospital. That pay so little, we have advice her to get a Canadian school for Master if possible.

She had a strong 2.1 and completed her Bsc with Chevron Scholarship.

Which Canadian school would be good for her to apply for master and possible get scholarship and start date of September session.

Soso98:
@frankrobbn pls can you give me an idea of SOP I can write for a college prep..it’s like a one year pre degree before I apply for practical nursing when I’m able to upgrade my biology ..pls help.im at cross roads

Please what's your level of education? Why going for a College prep at this point in your life instead of a degree or advanced diploma? Do you have any degree certification before now?

I hope to hear from you soon as your response determines the advice I will give to you! Thanks

Good day house,

Am about to apply for my student Visa. I have registered and filled the questionnaire on CIC website. My challenge now are;
1. I did not see the document checklists.
2. It is not possible for me to type my details on the various forms downloaded.

Please, how do l go about these?

This must be an online application right? The list of sections proof of financial support, international passport, passport photograph, acceptance letter etc... provided on your MyCIC account are your document checklist, you're expected to upload each documents in their various sections. For this reason, you don't need to fill a separate checklist.

I don't quite understand your second question, do you mean to say you're unable to fill in your details after downloading the required IRCC forms? If yes, try installing an updated Acrobat Reader DC on your desktop, I am sure it will go through this time.

Best of luck

alexflint20:
greetings all
please my sponsor stays in d USA...can i used his foreign bank statements and does it have any negative influence to my visa application.

No it doesn't have any negative influence to your visa application. You're certainly eligible to use them (foreign bank statements).

mykolalekan:
Dear Nairalander, Please can anyone advise on how i can sign the family information form IMM 5645. I am filling the form online and i need to sign it as required.

Please urgent assistant needed.

Online applicants are not required to sign their forms. Upon successful uploading of documents in their various sections, you will be prompted to fill in your name as a signature.

Emmaokudu:
Good morning Mr. Frank, similar situation here, dad plans to sponsor ,last child and presently his only beneficiary,and we intend to use his business account were is he's the sole signatory to the account, trying to raise funds to be in the range of 12 to 15m between now and May when I would apply, in your opinion, would this suffice as proof of funds?

Sure! It's an adequate proof of funds. In such event, you should also put into consideration the applicant tuition and living expenses, will the presented bank statement be sufficient enough to cater for the applicants first year of study in Canada without any recourse to public funds? On the account that it's sufficient. I would suggest you include a bank reference letter stating that the father is the sole-signatory to the company's account.

Best of luck!

Hello gurus in the house.
Good day

Still on the Visa process, I have some few questions to ask

1) My sponsor is a Paternal Uncle of mine the same town but not the same village. My DAD and my Sponsor are cousins, their parents are siblings, how can i draw a family tree to prove this and on which document will i do this?

2) My sponsor has not in any way before transferred any funds to me. He is about to pay my First year tuition fee from his account, Is this a red flag

3) And what documents will i ask from my sponsor to show and convince the VO that he wants to sponsor me?

4) And what visa route will you I used during my Visa application to fast track the process, Paper or Online route.

5) A friend in Canada is advising me to apply to university get an Undergraduate admit, that the likelihood of getting visa approval is high with a university than my admit from Post graduate Diploma in George Brown College(GBC). I could not apply for a direct masters because of my low cgpa 2.2 (3.24/5), So i applied to GBC and got admitted and now this advice from my friend is getting me confuse. Please help a brother here.

Cc, Frankrobbn1 and other gurus

Hi Amahjosh,

In respect to your questions, please find the following answers below:

1-) You have to draw a family tree that will encapsulate how your father and his cousin (uncle) is related. First, you have to start by demonstrating the relationship between your grandfather and your (sponsor's) grandfather with the rest of the family members down to your generation. See attached at the last page of this post a copy of a family tree you can use it as guide when constructing yours. While doing this, try as much as you can to establish a strong proof of relationship between you and your sponsor, by including your father's age declaration, int'l passport bio data page and sponsor int'l passport bio data page.

2-) Having your sponsor to pay for your tuition fees from his account isn't a red flag to your visa application rather it gives a practical exhibition that funds will be accessible and available to you the principal applicant. It further goes a long way to show your sponsor (uncle) financial commitment, genuineness and eagerness to finance your study in Canada.

3-) These are the list of DOCUMENTS you need from your sponsor (uncle).

4-) BREAK DOWN BETWEEN ONLINE ROUTE AND PAPER ROUTE

i)The online route no one will correct your mistakes like it is done on paper route whereby VFS workers will make sure your papers are complete and arranged accordingly before submission.

ii) If you have close access to a scanner and a desktop/system, online route would be your best choice. Bear in mind that you will need to compress and merge the documents to 4MB before you can be able to upload them on your MyCIC account and also have your Naira debit card handy in order to complete payment. On the other hand, the paper route you are to pay at the counter in the VFS office.

III) The online route, upon successful submission of your application, you will receive a notification a day or 2 days as the case maybe at times might stay up to a week in order to proceed for your biometrics. Whilst, the paper route, you will complete all registrations including biometrics that very day at the VFS office, Afterwards you wait for the outcome of your application.

IV) Finally, Online route cost (65-66k) for first timers. Whereas, paper route goes for (68-69k) for first time applicant.

So it's left for you to decide which best suit you. Be properly guided that none of the above routes (paper and online) have any added advantage to your TRV application.

5-) You will have enormous explanation to give should you opt for a second degree instead of a PGD reasons being that you will have to cover up for your study gaps. What were you up to/doing since you last left highschool until now?. I believe your sole purpose of coming here is to seek for advice. Hence, I will advice you from the wisdom of my experiences which I enjoyed for over the years that you should go ahead and apply for your visa with the PGD acceptance letter from George Brown College(GBC) and explain in your SOP how the program will be beneficial to your career and how it will be translated to your home country for the benefit of others.

I drop my pen!

Best of luck!

BeatriceAdeleke:
You didnt answer my question i am asking if guys are familiar with Cape breton university and is the acceptance rate into a diploma in public admin in the school high.

Hello,

This college (Cape Breton) is not common and I am not conversant with it. I would suggest you apply to a well-known institution/college in Canada so as to increase your chances of visa approval.

Best of luck

thanks Frank am the last born and my sis is in canada too same city but she is a student. sorry to disturb you like this

That's the more reason your sponsor (mom) must provide sufficient proof of support. A bank of statement of 8.5M - 10M will do.

You are planning to merge two separate applications into one envelope? Please clarify.

WES requested that WAEC scratch cards and confirmation of result must be sent separately via post mail or courier. The reference number that will be placed on the cards will be used by WES to track the applicant evaluation application and upload them appropriately in our various profiles.

I have seen people on this window that did it and was successful.

Greetings to you all. It's good to be here with you guys.

I am in the process of sending my WAEC scratch card for WES evaluation. I want to confirm if there is anyone here that is interested, so we can possibly cut cost for ourselves and send it in a sealed envelope via courier with our reference number affix on the cards.

I anticipate your response. Thank you all.

Hello frank
Please sorry for disturbing you I haven't paid my application fees but I saw in my admission status that my application fees received please what will I do, please advice me well

Your aren't disturbing okay. Always feel free to ask questions here anytime and I will be happy to assist you. Please can you share a screenshot of what you're saying so that I can be able to advice you accordingly. In the absence of the screenshot, have you attempted to complete payment with your debit card before now?

Mighty boss. Its been good. We are currently in reading week. So no lectures for the whole week, which gave me some little time to check back on the thread.

How are you too?

I remain humble and faithful boss. I am delighted to see you here once again. Everything is going on well, I am anticipating a positive response concerning my application for a permanent residency. I hope things will fall in my favour.

Thanks for reciprocating. Do enjoy the rest of your week.

How are you doing? It's been a while. Welcome back

nalizzzy:
Thankz Frank. will 2million extra ok

Let's perform a little arithmetic here.

Annual expenses = 19,034CAD$ which equivalent to 5,182,270CAD$

Mom's bank statement = N5,000,000+N2,000,000 = N7,000,000

Funds available in mom's account - Annual Expenses
N7,000,000 - N5,182,270 = N1,817, 730

In light of the above, mom will be left with N1,817, 730 after paying your first year tuition and living expenses. Now let's think like a visa officer, will the remaining funds be sufficient for your younger siblings and mom's personal welfare during your first year of study in Canada? As a consequence, you stand a better chance with two eyes closed if Mom can increase the funds to 4-5M.

Hello all good evening I’m currently facing problems with uploaded bank statements online on the Cic portal I’ve been battling compression of the 50pages bank statements for about 2 weeks now I’m even considering submitting via paper route can anyone proffer a solution or should I just go through the paper route

Worry less, this ONLINE COMPRESSOR will be an end to your problem without altering the appearance of your documents.

Hii house
Please I'll like to know how early one can enter Canada before resumption
Say, I'm resuming September 1
Can I travel August ?
Looking forward to a reply
Eshe pupo

Yes you can. Should the immigration officer at POE ask you why you're arriving so early, you can possibly say you want to acclimatize with the new environment prior to school resumption. You will have no qualms with that.

nonipeter:
Hello frank please is a must that you must write statement of purpose in the course you are applying for University in Canada before giving an admission, because me I applied for bachelor of management Science and also send them my Official WAEC results please advise me well brother thanks

No you do not need to present a statement of purpose for an undergraduate degree application. You only do so when applying for your study permit.

I can apply to without paying application fee?

Unfortunately, I don't think there are any colleges in Canada that doesn't require an application fee. You're ought to pay for an application fee before your application for admission will be accepted and accessed by the admission department of the school.

good day pls need a suggestion. my fees is 9034 and living expenses 10000 my sponsor has 5million. beg my mum to look for a co sponsor but she is shy to ask. dnt knw what to do again

The funds in your mom's account is insufficient. I'll advice you tell your mom to deposit more funds into her account or source for additional assistance from someone i.e by getting a co-sponsor to improve your application financial sufficiency.
