jnyuwa02:
The VO will notice you printed your SOA before paying fees. In the interest of integrity and honesty, print SOA after paying tuition fees. It goes a long way in portraying you before the VO as a person of integrity. In a nation like Nigeria viewed by the world as devoid and bankrupt in morality, the VO are always looking for elements of honesty and reliability to favorably exercise discretion on your behalf. Little things like this count and help your case.
jnyuwa02,

Once a bank statement is within the range of 1-4weeks as stated by the Canadian Embassy is valid for visa application. So, I don't see anything bad in this. Applicants have done this in the past and was successful. Well, the essence of going through this route, is to show more funds in sponsor's account.

All the same your opinion is good and on a safer side.

PLEASE HELP ME REVIEW THIS SOP
drdamy,

No atom of convincing fact is on your SOP. You don't start SOP by talking abt your interest to the school. Your points are not well articulated.

Your letter of intent (SOP) for study visa should reflect the following and should be addressed in each paragraphs to avoid repetition.
1-) Describe your academic background briefly.
2-) Why you choose Canada not Nigeria.
3-) The school.
4-) The program of choice.
5-) How you intend to finance your studies in Canada without working.
6-) Home ties
7-) What you intend to achieve at the end of the program and how it might benefit you in the future(Career goals).

Finally do away with the SOP you pasted, if not some folks here will plagiarise the little point you have.

All the best.

Which one is better - to print SOA BEFORE paying tuition fee and living expenses or AFTER?
.
Twallace,

You may decide to print your SOA before paying tuition fee but make sure you submit your application that very month you printed it, because a bank statement is valid for a month.

Good evening everyone,
I want to use this medium to everyone who has rendered a helping hand to all the people seeking TRV,may God continue to bless you and make your paths pure!
I will be applying for my Study permit soon but I am a little bit confused about paper route online,I read somewhere here that if you do online you will be limited to the nos of docs you can upload but if I do paper route how do I initiate it and do I need to travel to their office (Note I currently resides in Uyo,Akwa ibom)
Thank you very much for answering my questions..
Cc @frankrobbn1
Barryston, Good to hear from you again.

To the bolded it's true, using online route the number of documents you want to upload is limited but paper route reverse is the case, you can submit as much documents you wish. And yes If you plan using paper route you need to submit your application at the VFS office Lagos or Abuja. Meanwhile, if you plan using online route you need to complete your application anywhere at your convenience, you don't need to go to VFS office until you are called to complete biometrics.

Please find the below breakdown, I hope this will help you to make a decision that will best suit your situation.

BREAK DOWN BETWEEN ONLINE ROUTE AND PAPER ROUTE

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

2-) If you have scanners and a desktop/system close by, online route is okay. But mind u, u need to compress your documents before you upload them and you will need to complete payment with your credit card, but the paper route you are to pay at the counter.

3-)The online route, after submission you will get notification a day or 2 days depending at times 1week to proceed for your biometrics. While the paper route, you will complete everything that very day at the VFS office, then wait for the outcome of your application.

4-) Finally, Online route is more expensive (68K-70K) compared to paper route (55-57K)

So it's left for you to decide which best suit you. But be guided that none of them has added advantage to your TRV application.

All the best!

Biakwa:
Wao @Frank
Thanks for the swift respond,i really appreciate.

The arrangement now is to pay all the tuition fee for one year as advised.

My question now is the living expenses of about N3m, must it be in domiciliary account as this will paid into her personal account in Naira.Must she now go and open domiciliary account .Will it not raise an alert as it may be the first lodgment in the account Can a Naira account be funded for this purpose in her name.

Expecting your response
Biakwa,

The living expenses can be in her personal naira account too. Let the said Sponspor complete a bank to bank transfer from the sponsor account to the applicant account. She should also include this in her letter of intent in the section where she explained about funds - that as a matter of fact her sponspor have paid full tuition and transferred her living expenses into her personal account. Also let the sponsor explain the same in their letter of sponsorship/support. They both should quote the date of the transcation and attach receipts of the transcation if possible. This is also good.

The essence of opening a dorm account and funding it, is just to clarify the visa officer that funds are readily available in convertible currency and can be easily accessible by the applicant and exportable to Canada.
So, funding a dorm account won't raise issues, they both need to explain the origin of the money that's all. If the sponsor writes he was the one that deposited funds into applicant dorm account it won't raise issues.

So it's left for you to decide which best suit you. The both are good!

All the best!

Good day ladies and gentlemen in the house,

Please am in need of some clearification and what to takle while re-applying.

My brother is the sponsor to the wife that submitted her file and just exactly one month they mailed her to come collect her passport.

Reasons for rejection are below.

X Pursuant to Section 219 of the immigration and refugee protection regulation,I am not satisfied that you:

X have sufficient and available financial resources,without working in canada,to pay the tuition fees for the course or program of studies that you intend to pursue

X have sufficient and available financial resources,without working in Canada,to maintain yourself and any family members who are accompanying you during your proposed period of study.

X have sufficient and available financial resources,without working in canada,to pay the cost of transporting yourself and the family members who are accompanying you to and from canada.


Gurus the point here is she is the only one going and not with any member as they stated.

The husband works in a bank with income of 4.5m anually.But presented a Treasury bills certificate worth over 12m and a fixed deposit certificate of 2.5m in the wife name.

They had earlier paid cad2,300 out of cad15,500 of the tuition fees for the one year program that is all.

Can they pick up another reason after they must have re-apply as they were scared they may pick travel history as she has not traveled before,and they have two kids already.

The gurus i please expect your advice and way to follow up on this regard.
This is a good forum i must say.
Biakwa,

Pay up the applicant full tuition fees and transfer living expenses into the applicant domicilary account with this you have fully convinced the visa officer that her intent is strictly for studies.

And yes they might pick another reason after tackling insufficient funds, just make sure you put up an upright application. Don't be scared the applicant can't be refused for just TRAVEL HISTORY it's not done. Endeavour to add the Treasury bills certificate as stated. Her next application will be success.

All the best!

Cherryola:
Pls house help me out this is my second refusal gcms note what are the next step for me to take so I won't get refuse for the 3rd time again

CC

@MICHV1,@Austinpee4,@Nogen,@jnyuwa02,
@frankrobbn1 help me out
Cherryola,

On behalf of this great forum we say we are deeply sorry for the outcome of your application.

To summarize it all your GCMS Note is pointing at all the refusal grounds for a study permit application namely:
1-) Insufficient Funds
2-) Purpose of visit
3-) Home ties
4-) Personal asset and financial status
5-) Current employment situation
6-) Limited employment prospects in your country of residence.

Firstly, i'll start by saying that your SOP was poorly written, no atom of convincing facts/statments and your application was not well packaged.

You as a person have failed to convince the visa officer that you're a genuine student and the motivation to study in Canada is genuine. You also failed in convincing them that the benefit of undertaking such program in canada is beneficial to you and to your country at large.

Secondly, Who was your sponsor and how did you show proof of relationship with him/her, did you add relevant documents to show that your sponsor is related to you. Like Marriage certificates, birth certificates and prove of previous financial support like payment of tuition fees in the past or present, bank to bank transfer in the past b/w you and your sponsor to prove that he has been your guardian

Thirdly, Was there any financial commitment from your sponsor towards financing your education in Canada? Did your sponsor pay full tuition and transfered living expenses to your personal/dorm account? Having that he is a third party sponsor and a Visa officer will definitely like to see commitment from him

Fourthly, Your sponsor source of income is in question here. Did you add relevant documents to evident his source of income... If he is business incline.... Like.... CAC certificate, article of association and memorandum, treasury bills, shares certificates, landed properties. If he is gainfully employed... Did you add documents like employment letters, promotion letters, increment letters, appointment letters etc...

Fifth, The employment you declared does not constitute a tie to your home country.... What is the duration of your course matters alot here?. Traveling to Canada for 2 years and above program and presenting a job offer is like shooting a gun at your leg, because no visa officer will believe that a company will leave a space for you till you return. Please if you added any job offer do away with it in your next application.

Sixth, Your employment history is weak: When did you start working matters alot here? Did you truly work for this company? Did you add prove of employment, like employment letters, payslips, CV's, introductory letters etc....

Seventh, You failed to satisfy the visa officer that the chances of getting a job when you loose it/travel to Canada is high and the benefit of undertaking such program in Canada will have a significant prospects to compel your return to Nigeria.

8th, Your family ties, professional ties and otherwise are in question too. Did you show more interest in coming home after your studies? Did you add your siblings or family birth certificates? How did you address your family ties on your SOP matters alot

9th, Limited assest/property is weak. Did you add documents like landed properties, business investments, shares certificates in your name that can compel your return to Nigeria ?.

The bolded words are the solutions to your GCMS Note.

Lastly, Explore to the link below, you will find useful information regarding your refusal grounds.

iRealZeal:
I could be wrong, I believe it's better to use someone who bares same surname with you as your sponsor, however related. I stand to be corrected.
ChuksEbube:
I feel involving your uncle in Canada means shooting yourself on d foot. Giving them the impression that you have a relative there ain't gonna help, cos they'll feel u already have ties to Canada. Just my thoughts though:::::: I could be wrong too
You both have spoken well iRealZeal and ChuksEbube.

Cc: Asapant,

I agree with ChuksEbube don't use someone in Canada as a sponsor it will jeopardize your application. Also as iRealZeal has just said its better you use someone who bears the same family name with you, this makes your application strong, because visa officers value family sponsorship than a third party. But not withstanding, it's better you source for another sponspor based in Nigeria not the one in Canada and make sure he/she that is going to stand as your sponsor pays up your tuition fees and get funds in your dorm account. You also need to present a rational explanation to why this person is sponsporing you to Canada other than Nigeria where you can acquire such course at a cheaper rate. Your sponsor needs to draft a convincing letter of support, stating why he decides to spend so much on you, mention his depanadants and write convincingly that sponsporing your studies in Canada won't tend to a burden to his family, business, and personal life, he also needs to state that all financial obligations will be meet during your stay in Canada and the probability of future funding will be available to you for the subsquent years during your studies in Canada. Lastly your sponsor should also state what he stands to achieve after financing/spending so much for your studies in Canada.

Please Note: I'm not saying its impossible to get your application approved with a Canadian sponspor but to be honest with you the chances of getting such application approved is extremely slim, you have to establish strong ties here in Nigeria before such application can scale through.


All the best!

Good! Let your father pay up your first year tuition fees and add documents to evident his source of income, whilst your dad's cousin transfers your living expenses into your dorm account. What is required here is first year living expenses and tuition fees, but if your uncle can transfer for the 2 years as you have just said.... It's still okay. But if he can't he should transfer just the 10KCAD for your first year living expenses.

Edited: Please endeavor to indicate your father as the main sponsor, while your uncle as a co-sponspor.

Be guided properly Loveson.
While having an active EE profile, and decide to apply for a study permit, make sure you convince the visa officer that you also have passion (A genuine student) to study in Canada and you will leave Canada at the end of your authorized stay. Having dual intent doesn't pose to have an effect to both applications.

All the best!
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by Frankrobbn1:
dislat,

That GCMS Note you just uploaded is misleading and discouraging to applicants having dual intent.
Having dual intent is legitmate , it might be that the applicant in question failed to convince the visa officer that he/she will leave Canada after his/her authorized stay on their study permit application that was why the issue of having several EE was raised. The applicant in question might just want to apply for a study permit without a convincing SOP to why he/she is going for studies or all in the name of "LET ME TRY MY LUCK AND SEE " since they already have EE profile and decide not to apply with a packaged visa application.

Study permit and EE application are both unique and as such treated differently without both application colliding with each other.

Please find the Attachment from CIC webpage, I believe it will go a long way in addressing the issue of having dual intent.

If the above information is incorrect or misleading, please someone should quote me wrong with a genuine proof.

Hello guys,

Pls I have a unique situation,
I recently got a letter of acceptance to a 2yr diploma program(co-op)in project mgt to resume this Oct 2018 in canada. I have an B.eng with 1 yr work experience in logistics.
My challenge for visa application is the financial statement. My dad is actually the sponsor but he works as a contractor for construction project. His bank statement is quite spiky because he doesn't do bank loan, he only uses his savings to do projects.
I have paid for the ist term fees already and the balance for tuition will be in my dom account before month end. I want to use my dad's cousin who works with the UN and a US international organization as a sponsor to cover living cost because he has a better financial record.
Please what is the best course of action to take ?
cindelinc,

How much is your dad available funds in his account and the number of dependants will determine if he can stand as your main sponsor or not.

Paying half tuition and having the remaining in your account to me makes no sense. Unless you have the remaining half tuition and living expenses in your dorm account not just having half tuition alone in your dorm account. Since you have the money pay up your full tuition to be on the safer side and endeavour to have funds for your living expenses in your dorm account, this will fly best.

You can use your dad's cousin who resides in the states as a co-sponsor, while doing this you have to establish a strong proof of relationship with him and having him show commitment towards financing your studies in Canada by either paying full tuition for you or transfer funds into your domicilary account(Which is very easy).

I don't knw if this give answers to your questions. If the information is not sufficient enough, feel free to ask questions.

All the best!

Medicals are carried out by recongnized physician from the Canadian embassy. Doing upfront medicals speeds up application processes.

Leaving your family back home is a good tie.

Using your sister as a co-sponsor is good, but make sure she transfers your living expenses into your account as her commitment towards supporting your studies in Canada. If you have the money for your tuition handy, I best advise you pay up, while your sister completes a bank to bank transfer into your account for your living expenses.

It doesn't matter Sir, it must not appear with your company name. Just submit your personal bank statement.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by Frankrobbn1: 11:30pm On Mar 02, 2018
Barryston,

Paying upfront tuition fees is not a prerequisite to Visa approval okay. But it goes a long way in letting the visa officer know that your primary intent is strictly for studies. However, In some case scenario, some schools don't accept upfront tuition fees until arrival, so in this case what you need to do is make sure you have both your tuition and living expenses in your personal account, letting the visa officer know on your letter of intent that your school don't accept upfront tuition but funds are already in your possession or better still, you wait for the instructions from the Canadian high commission to pay first year tuition, then you can now pay your tuition, while doing any of the both make sure your tuition and living expenses are in your personal account. Any of the three are good and your visa will still be approved.



Documents that will fly as per your status as a legal personnel.
1-) Employment letters
2-) Payslips
3-) Your personal bank statement
4-) Promotion letters(If any)
5-) letter of increment of salary ( If any)
6-) Your court letters
7-) Letter of intent/statment of purpose
8-) Call to bar certificate
9-) Your first LLB certificate
10-) Reference/introductory letters
11-) Work I.D
12-) Your child birth certificates
13-) Marriage certificate etc....

Online or paper route are all good, but none has an added advantage to your application.

Haven being denied a US visa before has nothing to do with your study permit application. Just come clean and let them know you have being denied US Visa in 2015 on your IMM form and you will be fine.

Firstly, since the NASU strike is still on and school transcript can't be processed. Is it okay to use a copy of WES evaluated transcript for CIC study permit application??

Secondly, which is preferable to submit as part of application document, bank statement with a closing balance less than 20k or a fixed deposit certificate of that same account showing above 1M rolled over every month?

Lastly, can anyone here take through the steps involved in commencing paper application.

Thank you for all your contributions so far.

Seems like your query haven't been answered and you mentioned my name.

Question 1: Please If you have your BSc certificate you can go ahead and submit it with your visa application, you must not wait for your transcipts. You may choose to include the WES evaluated transcript.

Question 2: I don't seem to understand what you mean by 20K, do you mean to say 20KCAD? You may decide to add the both statements to your application to prove strong financial backing.

Question 3: This was a vague question. I'll best direct you to www.cic.gc.ca here you can kick the process.

Good evening house

I actually thought about paying some part of my tuition fees before applying for the visa but after paying my acceptance of 1000 CAD which was about 304k due to bank rate (excluding bank charges) instead of 272k (about 30k difference) as at the date of payment. I've decided not to pay the tuition fees yet but to just leave the money in the bank and apply for the visa with the bank statement.
from my calculation, paying a fee of about 10,000 CAD may also cost me an excess of about 300k (which is already above 1000 CAD) excluding bank charges - I just can't dash my bank 300k. I don't know how this affects my chances.

secondly, I have a bsc in Microbiology but I'm going for an undergraduate diploma in Practical Nursing. I applied for admission using my waec cert, I know the embassy would require me to show my transcripts for my bsc but my school doesn't give it out.
I tried speaking with one of the staff at exams and records in my school and she said she can't help, that if I really need it, I should come see the registrar - that's a long process.
my question now is should I just tender my bsc cert and use the waiver form to indicate why I can't attach my transcripts?¿?
classicaldon,

If your school don't require a tuition deposit you can have the funds in your personal account, after successful review of your application a payment of tuition may be required by the Canadian high commission as proof of your finances before issuance of a visa.

Second question - You can submit only your Bsc certificate, you don't need a waiver form here.

Finally you need to tender a compelling reasons(SOP) to why you opted out for a second degree that is no way related to your previous studies. Why not go for a MSc degree to show progression.

Best of luck!

Your testimonies don't seize to quench.

Thank you Frankrobbn1 for the response, please I was rather asking of the instance where the issuer of the bank statement are the agents and at the same time the bank officials working in the department of the financial firm where the school may call or send query to verify. Shouldn't they have other means to verify since those people will just answer those query to agree with the statement they have given to their clients?. Thank you.

As said earlier by My Oga, embassy will surely verify your statement account.Every details related to the statement will also be verified. If an agent issued a statement IFO you or in your assistance, believe me, they are using another person's clone statement for you which will surely backfire.
She have answered your question.

Hello House, please I will like to find out how a school or embassy which requests bank statement is able to verify?
Is it just by placing a call to confirm what is infront of them?
How are they able to know that the financial institution dosnt in actual fact have that money but just coniving with its client by building statements for them.
If a school doesnt detect when it asks for statement, at least the embassy should have a way to really know that the document infront of them is good or bad without those in those financial institutions? I need an advice for a friend...
Thank you.
I have answered this question severally on this thread.

HOW DO CANADIAN EMBASSY VERIFY BANK STATEMENT

I will answer this question again to help provide clarity and also deter those who might want to involve themselves in sharp practices.

YES ! Canadian embassies verifies bank statements that are sent in with applications. Some AGENTS might make you believe that the bank statements are only checked if the account numbers are valid. So they go ahead to ask you for your normal bank details and BVN details.

They now use this genuine information to produce a fake bank account statement for your application. In many of the cases i have heard about, AGENTS convince the applicants that they have used it in the past for applicants and their visas was successfully approved. Please, don’t be fooled, because these visa agents are really slowly digging your “visas approval grave”

The truth is that the banks are not meant to reveal your account balance
, but there are many ways they can find out the genuineity of the account without knowing exactly how much you have in your account. The request sent to the banks are coded in a way that the bank just needs to respond “Yes” or “No”. Most time they verify the transcations carried out on the given bank statement. (this is all i can say about this topic because this is highly classified information).

So in conclusion, don’t try to forge a bank statement, because the Canadian embassy will surely find out.

Newbies learn from this and If you or anyone close to you has this fraudulent intention kindly abstain from it.

All the best!

Thank you. I applied to the university of Manitoba but didn't get in. The remaining schools you mentioned don't have Agricultural related courses and that's what I studied in school.
.

Please don't give up easily okay. I know of a guy that you can connect with by name phocusjosh , he is also heading to University of Manitoba , Agricultural related course too. He secured part funding from the school, you can look for his moniker and pm him. He will be in the best position to advise you on what to do to secure admission.

Get back to me after checking on him.
All the best!

Hi good morning, please I need your help. I graduated with a 2.1 (3.69 Cgpa) I applied for masters in three different universities, last two years I wasn't given so I tried conestoga college. I was given. I went ahead to use maple education agency and I was denied visa on October 2017 for the lack of funds reason. I decided to apply for fall 2018 in three universities; Saskatchewan, Guelph and McGill ( for the second time). I got denied admission for Saskatchewan and Guelph and I've already lost hope for McGill. My question is, do I just apply with my college admission and state I didn't get into university that's why I'm ping for PGD? Cause I don't have much fight left in me. I anticipate your reply. Thank you
.

Osiokoye,

Please don't get tired of seeking for admission. You have a good CGPA (2.1). I best advise you stick to Masters program than suit for a PGD(That has less chances for visa approval).

Check schools like:
Memorial University of Newfoundland
University of Windsor
University of Manitoba.
Trent University

Have you ordered for your CAIPS file to know the factual reason why you were denied visa last year October.

DON'T GIVE UP, YOUR ADMISSION IS CLOSE
