Hello everyone, please for the upfront medicals needed as an NSE requirements, when is the appropriate time to go for the medicals? Is it before submitting the study permit application or after submitting it before you get the NSE request.

please it's urgent. Thanks

Upfront medical exam can be done before and after the submission of your application. The benefit of undertaking a medical exam upfront is simply to expedite the processing of one's application as you wouldn't wait all the time for the visa officer to initiate the request.

Does anyone have an idea of how many years of PGWP this MBA @University of New Brunswick gives after completion please?

The duration of the MBA at University of New Brunswick is 1 year, which automatically grants you 1 year PGWP. I don't think the duration of the PGWP should be too much of a bother to you now as there are numerous opportunities of securing your PR immediately after studies through the International Graduate Stream at the New Brunswick Altantic Province.

I don’t have a family member who is financially capable, can I use a friend? Please what other options do I have

You can provide your uncle or aunt to stand as your sponsor. Although, they have to demonstrate to the immigration that you've complete access to funds during your stay in Canada

@Frankrobbin

Please I was asking if its a good sign from the embassy as I got a request to send mybankstatement again yesterday. I applied on Feb 4th with all NSE requirements.

Pls respond

The NSE request is an automated process for almost every Nigerian who applied for a Canadian study permit. I will suggest you oblige their request by providing the mybankstatement certificate.

Thank you Frank. However Stanbic Mutual fund is highly liquid and can be fully or partially liquidated within 24hours. This is also stated in the confirmation letter from Stanbic. So it's a good POF.

If there is a cover letter from the bank which confirms this to be true, the applicant can use it for a study visa application.

Please does the MBS show your account balance in CAD or naira, I'm asking because for NSE you're to show 30k cad in your MBA. Is it the VO that would convert it or the MBS would be in CAD.

The Mybank Statement Certificate shows funds availability as at the time the certificate was issued and its in Naira currency. Its the visa officer's responsibility to do the calculations with the current conversion rate.

Please, can I use fixed deposit to support my proof of funds and how long do I have to wait before I can use the certificate for my application?

You can submit a time deposit investment (Fixed deposit) with your application to support your financial establishment. You don't need to wait too long to use it once the investment is 2 to 4 weeks old.

Good evening everyone, first time to post on Nairaland. I have read alot here and you guys are really wonderful. Thank you all for your help. Please someone should help me, my sponsor, my aunty stays in US. She is a nurse, and have stayed more than 25 years over there. She is well established, and willing to help me. She said I should let her know all documents that will be needed from her as my sponsor, I know my case is not unique, those that used US sponsors successfully should also contribute and guide me properly. Thank you all

You need to obtain relevant documents to show that she is truly your aunt and is eager to sponsor your studies in Canada. Proving the genuinity of her sponsorship comes with a lot of financial commitments which is getting her to pay your tuition fee and transfer your first year living expenses into your domicilary account. You should also include proof of history and ongoing financial support from your Aunt. The purpose of getting those evidence is to clear every doubts the visa officer might have over your application. Again, draw a family tree to illustrate the relationship between you and your aunt.

Thanks for responding.. someone suggested I go for medicals n submit it .. is this advisable? They didn’t request for it.. they only sent BVL since February

From my professional experiences, I wouldn't advice you to undergo an upfront medicals when you've received a BVL without a decison from the immigration. At this moment, you should incessantly be sending emails and webforms to the visa office in Nairobi so they can finalize the processing of your application. You can also order for your GCMS note to obtain a clearer picture of the current eligibility assessment of the immigration officer.

Please gurus in the house.
My sponsor is a company I have worked for only 2 months. I know it is ideal to have at least 4 months of payslip to apply for visa. But I’m thinking I might not have enough if I must join the sept session. Can I use 3 months payslip and ask the company to explain why in their introduction letter? Do you think it will raise questions by the VO or do you advise I wait till 4 months

Company sponsorship is not an effectual sponsorship for a Canadian study permit. You rather use a close relative (parents, siblings or uncle/aunt) for your application than a company. It's extremely difficult to convince the visa officer that this company will sponsor your studies in Canada while you've barely worked for 2 months in this organisation.

Hello Seniors,
Please I need clarification on this. Zenith bank is yet to debit me for the tuition fee deposit, which has affected me not having a receipt from the institution to show payment of the tuition deposit. But then, I have evidence of payment initiation from my own side, sign and stamped. Waiting for them to debit the money before I can print my account statement of account, but till now nothing. They said it may take 3 weeks before my account will be debited.

Please do I go ahead and explain that in my SOP and attached proof that I have initiated tuition fee payment and maybe, say once the institution receives the fee, I will send the proof through the webform. Is it a good idea? Because time is against me, and I need to submit my application for sept intake. Please I seriously need your opinion.

Thanks.

It is acceptable to state in your personal statement that you've initiated tuition payment to the school and will provide an official tuition receipt via IRCC webform once its ready from the University.

Please anyone going to Conestoga College and has made deposit payment, please how did you make payment. my sponsor (a company) Access Bank says western union has not been working for months. And my sponsor can’t use flywire hence no ATM card as it is a corporate account

Your best bet is to sought for a trusted friend or a family member resident abroad to help you make payment to the school.

Hello everyone!
Please the college I’m applying to is requesting for high school transcripts which I’m almost sure my school will not have anymore.

Is it possible to use WAEC/NECO instead?

Thanks!

What they meant by high school transcripts is the online print out of your WAEC result and scratch card. Provide them these documents and you will be granted admission by the institution.

Guys I intend submitting my online study permit application by Monday but I have a problem..two of my elder sisters live in Canada and my junior brother is also a student in Canada..he left this year, making it three of my siblings in Canada but I’m worried that this may be seen as family tie in Canada and may affect my application, how do I prove that this i really intend leaving Canada and do I mention my siblings in Canada in my SOP or should I just leave it?

You should declare truthfully in your application that you've siblings in Canada. Please be advised that having siblings who are resident in Canada does not in any way affect your chances of getting approval. The greatest advantage you should place reliance on is to demonstrate to the immigration officer that you're a bonafide student by including supporting documents in proof of your family ties to Nigeria. The future career prospects of your intended program, your aged parents, a family business, parents assets, your active membership in an organisation and amongst other relevant points can be your unwavering commitments in your home country. These points should be well expressed in a detailed and persuasive way as possible.

Hello everyone, can one use stanbic ibtc mutual funds account as proof of funds or is it advisable to move the money elsewhere?

You should use it as an auxiliary proof of funds not the primary POF for your visa application. My reason for saying this is because most visa officers at the High Commission of Canada have some skepticism about mutual funds as they ponder that funds in this account have encumbrances and other obligations and you will not have full access to funds. As a consequence, you can include it to support your financial establishment not your primary POF.

Please Gurus in the house and everyone, I got a partial scholarship for an MSc and my hubby wants to transfer the balance of my tuition and living expenses to my account.
Do I need to show his own bank statement alongside my own MBS?
Do I need to do a gift deed to justify the lump sum after he transfers the money to my account?

I'm applying alone without my family.

It's important to include his bank statement to demonstrate the provenance of this funds.

A deed of gift is a good proof of fund, however, I will suggest you state that your hubby is your sponsor rather than a deed of gift. In a situation like this, having your spouse to sponsor your education in Canada proves to the immigration authorities that you share a very strong bond with him and your family is well established in Nigeria.

Hello Gurus.. have got few question.
1 I keep seeing people mentioning NSE message. Is NSE message clue that student visa will be issued.

My self and my boss submitted test of English waiver letter for our applicant in replacement of IELTS score. She got test of English waiver letter from the school in Canada and her school here in Nigeria.

Though she wrote IELTS but didn't have a good score so we decided not to submit IELTS score.
It's over a month we submitted waiver letter and a year statement of account but we have not received any message yet.
She has paid a year tuition fee, with 3.8m in her account added with Grant of 4.2 m ..
What's your view towards this application? Plssss

Contact the visa office in Nairobi to inquire about the current status of her application. You may also not hear from the immigration soon if her review of additional documents on her CIC account hasn't changed to Not Applicable.

Good day Guys,

Please can I just walk-in to the VFS centre for my biometrics without an upfront Appointment.
I got my Biometric request letter today, and I would love to have it today, as I am leaving Lagos over the weekend.

It will be difficult to grant you entry into the VFS centre without prior appointment. Better to do things in an orderly manner. It doesn't take you anything to schedule an appointment as most available dates are quite near.

Hello All,

Please I need some clarity for proof of funds.
1. Can the deposit for your first year come from a different account than the one you’re applying with?
2. How long should the funds have been in your account before your application?

1. The tuition deposit can come from any account other than the one you're submitting with your application package.


2. There is no specific period of time the money is supposed to be in your account. As stated by IRCC in the immigration regulations and manuals, applicant should maintain a steady inflow and outflow of funds which demonstrates their ability to study in Canada without being a burden to the Canadian Government.

Okay boss, I would really like you to throw more light ��

I believe the Axa mansard savings account is a life savings investment which doesn't allow one have full access to funds in the account. Such investments are preferably used as a subordinate financial statement as it does have some encumbrances and other obligations.
