PM me

It would be beneficial to the honorable members of this thread if advices are given here on this platform than outside of the thread. Meanwhile, I respect your kind gesture in assisting the op.

kaze4blues:
Good evening.

I am intending to apply for an undergraduate program in Canada.

How much will I need to have in my bank account as proof of fund.

I will be sponsoring myself.

Thank you.

Since you intend sponsoring your undergraduate studies in Canada yourself, you need to show funds availability in your account for the entire duration (4 years) of your stay in Canada. I would suggest you get a sponsor that will help you lessen the financial burden as an undergraduate program takes 4 years to be completed. Also bear in mind while being self-sponsored, you must show prove as to the source of your wealth in Nigeria to cover for your expenses alone.


I hope this helps.

It shall end in praises

Orlarshaynee:
Thanks for pointing that out. I wrongly assumed the same procedure for Nigerian sponsors applied to supervisors in Canada.

It's fine! We learn everyday.... Once again congratulations on your TRV crowning achievement.

Mr Frank and gurus in the house, please what are the chances of getting a Student Visa if

- The sponsor is a friend of mine in Canada.

- If i have a study gap of like 8years and have been doing menial jobs ever since. Trying to apply for a BBA.

- Is there any chance of getting a permit even with these hindrances? Someone wants to help and i want to make sure it's possible so i don't waste money and look at other countries. Thank you.

Truth be told your chances are low to secure a study visa using such profile, but don't get it twisted okay you can still be considered for a Visa, if luck falls in your favour. Since you haven't attained any post secondary education (degree) for the past 8 years and until now, you have to explain in detail what you've been doing since you left high school and why you want to further your studies in Canada and not Nigeria, considering that it would be cheaper for a third party sponsor who is not a blood relative.

WalterC007:
Hi everyone, I was denied study permit last week, please is it too late to reapply for January intake?

Considering that approval now takes between 7-9weeks. It's late to file for a reapplication for winter resumption. Don't rush things, make sure you've adequately addressed the reasons raised in your previous Application and have included relevant supporting documentations to show that your current situation has substantively changed to merit a study visa.

oyukuwife:
Yup. The refusal letter had dropped. I have no intentions to re apply.

Why don't you wish to reapply? On this reputable plaform, we don't encourage anyone to give up after first trial. You should bear in mind that majority of successful TRV applicants within and outside of this thread tried several times before they were able to secure a visa to Canada. I don't advise you to give up so easily at this time. Share your detailed profile and the list of documents you submitted in your previous application, then we will pick it up from there.

It shall end in praises.

chucs:
Goodmorning everyone. Please pardon me if my question may seem like i'm drawing anyone backwards. It is as a result of how urgent I needed the information.

Please I want to know if a family friend can sponsor me for a Canadian study program? He lives in Uk and he is a citizen.

I also want to know if he can sponsor two persons at ones.
I will really be glad to get a favourable reply.

I trust the information given by my fellow members on this thread was helpful to you in establishing proof of relationship between you and your sponsor. Meanwhile let me quickly chip in my little opinion concerning your sponsor's intention of sponsoring two applicants at same time in the same immigration processing office (Kenya). I wouldn't buy this idea as you're indirectly cheating the Canadian Study Visa system and thus when caught in such an act by the Canadian immigration officers you will be wrecked with a 5 years ban. I have seen a case on this window far back in 2017 where a particular bank statement was used by an agent to sponsor over 5 different applicants and guess what?, the embassy got hold of these applicants and they were all served 5 years ban. My best advice for you, that's if you would listen to me, is apply first, once your application has successfully pulled through, you can then file for the next applicant.


All the best!

Orlarshaynee:
From my experience, what you will need is a detailed sponsorship letter explaining your relationship with your sponsor (your supervisor) and why they are sponsoring you. Also, you will need their statement of account, their proof of employment or ownership of a business etc. and finally a copy of their passport bio data page. I hope this helps.

I think you're mistaken the applicant's question for a sponsor here in Nigeria. The question is actually referring to a graduate Supervisor in a university in Canada providing full funded scholarship for the applicant's research master's program. Hence all the requirements like international passport, employment letters and statement of account from the applicant's supervisor as suggested by you is not needed here.

As I have rightly said in my previous post, what the applicant needs to show/present is a minimum of 1.2M in his account for his flight itinerary and other miscellaneous expenses that might arise during the course of his studies in Canada and I'm sure he will be fine with this. More so, if the applicant doesn't have upto this amount in his account, he can get a sponsor that will present a bank statement of 5M upwards since he is a fully funded applicant.

Cc: Xenyth, be properly guided!

thesvnflwr:
Please can anyone tell me the process for upfront medical? What do I have to do?

Contact the nearest IRCC medical panel physician close to your geo-political zone (Abuja or Lagos). Book an appointment with them by sending across your details which entails your full name, passport number, date of birth, and intended country. Once you've been able to pick a date for the upfront medical exam, prepare yourself and go with the original copy of your International Passport and proof of payment to the hospital and you will have your upfront medical exam done and cleared!

Just got my refusal letter. Do I still need to order gcms note?

I regret to hear your application for a study visa to Canada was turned down. You may want to share a comprehensive breakdown and list of documents you submitted along side your previous refused application, so we could know how best to advice you for a successful reapplication.

The rest should be in PDF files.

Xenyth:
Hello house. will I have to provide any form of proof of fund if my supervisor is offering me full funding with tuition fee cover and a stipend of 25000CAD per year which is more than what I need in a year?

Yes you do. At least a minimum of 1.2M should be at your disposal for your flight itinerary and other miscellaneous expenses that might arise during the course of your studies in Canada.

IboBoyNuel:
Good evening All. Thanks to All who contribute positively to the thread. God bless you. Please i have questions.

Orlarshaynee:
I just got a mail now; PASSPORT REQUEST (PPR). Wow. I’m in awe. I will be back to post my timeline and any tips I may have.

Programme applied for and offered admission in: Graduate Certificate in Supply Chain management (1 academic year duration)
Institution: Mohawk College

I have a BSc in Agricultural economics and farm management (Bowen University Iwo), and a MSc in Agricultural economics (Reading University).
I currently work with my family farm business; as a farm inventory manager.

Best wishes.

@IboBoyNuel, you two share same area of specialization. I trust @Orlarshaynee's approved visa profile would be helpful to you.

KrystalDesign:
Please I want to ask if there is a particular paper or section, maybe the contract part showing names or the plan view.. needed from a land document or you have to scan all the papers and attach?

Scan the relevant pages that shows the bona-fide owner of the property.

NomzyJust:
Are skills obtained outside Canada valuable in Canada?

What kind of skills are you talking about here? Canada has high demand for IT skills at the moment and because that's where the world has come to, I can't see it changing.

On the other hand, skills like Welding, Electrician, Plumbing, and Home Builders are also recognized in Canada once you can prove that you're an expert, you will paid handsomely for your services.

tosinobikoya49:
Good morning house I was at vfs yesterday to pick my passport after refusal and I was told the passport is still at the Canada visa office(Nairobi). I got the refusal mail oct 16 and I will be needing the passport for something important nov 8 please what can I do

Raise a CSE explaining your situation and the delayed passport dispatching from their office.

CONTACT the Kenya (Nairobi) Immigration department via this email: nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca

The subject of the mail should bear URGENT, along side the applicant's FULL NAME, UCI NUMBER, APPLICATION NUMBER AND DATE OF BIRTH.

Also send your enquiry via THE NAIROBI WEB FORM.

All the best

Glasses1:
Hello house... please I need your quick input on something that is baffling me. I want to apply for Study visa, is it a good thing to say you have someone or a family member that is a citizen or PR in Canada?... is it an advantage or disadvantage to have someone over there as family member?... Please help me o

It's a disadvantage only on the account that you declared that you've family member in Canada and fail to provide sufficient ties to Nigeria that would compel your return home after studies. Once you're able to establish strong ties here that far outweighs that of Canada, there is no disadvantage.

mr Frank i applied online for my study permit on october 3rd biometrics on the 10th and my corrrespondence letter came in today is this refusal. am still positive and hoping for a positive response

Since you weren't instructed to undertake a medical exam, I'm afraid it's a refusal.

fehinebony:
Mr Frankrobbn1 thanks for all that you for this thread.

I was refused based on PURPOSE OF VISIT and FAMILY TIES IN CANADA OR HOME COUNTRY

I went through your post and I can say as regards purpose of visit and family ties, I explained everything you mentioned in details in my SOP/LOE. This are the points I discussed in my SOP/LOE

1)Introduction
2)Academic background (Computer Science)
3)My interest in the course of study( Masters of Global management) which in summary is I have been running an Event management business for over 5 years and I required an Academic qualification in a management course, I also stated that I had worked in an event company in the past and had some trainings in Event management and Project management, I also explained how the event business was born out of passion as it was a side hustle while I was in Uni.
4) I wrote about why I wanted to study in Canada
5)Why I chose the school( Royal Roads University )
6) I wrote about my conditional offer from Royal Roads university, I was asked to do two courses cause of my academic background ( Financial Accounting and Managerial Account, I needed to have at least 50marks each for both courses ) I had to defer my admission in order to clear the conditions which I did( these courses were not free)
7)I also wrote about How the course will be of great benefits to me and my business( I discussed the problems I currently encounter in my business and how I believed the course will help in tackling the issues)
I wrote about my Goals and Aspirations
9) I wrote about my study gap 11 years( in between I got married and started a family )
10)Funding ( which wasn’t an issue, I had paid full one year tuition fee 17,850CAD and I had 10k USD in my domiciliary account for living expenses) my husband was my sponsor

Note, since I graduated, I Haven’t worked in my field of study.
I submitted my company documents( I registered my company in 2010)

As regards Family Ties
I have been married for almost 6years( submitted my marriage certificate)
I have 2 kids( submitted their birth certificates)
Submitted documents for 5 landed properties( 2 jointly owned by my husband and I) each property had valuation certificates
I got a letter from my children’s school indicating they were registered there and their tuition had been paid for 2019/2000 academic year ( I included this because they are US citizens and to prove they won’t be going with me)
My Mum wrote a letter indicating that she would support my husband in taking care of the children and assist with their school work while I’m away ( she retired as a Director of education in Lagos state)
My husband wrote a letter of sponsorship

My husband submitted his personal 11. 5M and domiciliary account 20k USD
I submitted my company account with 2.5 M and personal account 450k and my USD a account 10k USD even though my husband was the sole sponsor.

Please how can I further tackle the reason for my study permit refusal. My husband feels I should ask for a refund from the school and try UK but I convinced him to give Canada another try which will definitely be the last.

I regret to hear your study visa application was rejected.

Your profile is very solid with career progression in management. I wonder why the visa officer could have rejected your application based on the ground stated above..... My best advise is that you should.defer your Admission to the next available term which is Spring. Prepare an LOE that will address the reasons stated on your refusal letter as gcms notes seems generic nowadays. Contact any of the knowledgeable individuals here to assist in vetting the letter on your behalf to be sure you've adequately addressed those concerns. Afterwards file for a reapplication.

It shall end in praises.

Sire my CGPA is a 4.1

Have you checked Simon Fraser University for her electrical and computer engineering program?. This school offers lots of opportunities for international students seeking for full funded scholarship in your speciality.

Where's Nairobi sir?

Kenya Sir! Though, I'm surprised you're asking this kind of question.

Doyindre:
Thanks for the response. How can I know if it Kenya or Nairobi

Nairobi is the capital and largest city of Kenya..... In a nutshell your application is at NAIROBI.

Please can you reply my email

I have been seeing your email boss, I will respond at my own pace. Meanwhile, for quick response from me, you can ask me your questions here.

Ps; I noticed that majority of persons that I have answered their questions outside of this thread, don't return back here to make further inquiry and this might not be helpful to this thread.

Doyindre:
Please how can I know the consulate handling my application?

Your application is been processed at Kenya, Nairobi. This is the office responsible for all TRV applications from Nigeria.

Hello house
I hope u all are doing great.
Quick one, i got an admission at one of the university in canada.
But no fund to proceed. But i got a help from a friend which she's a PA to the wife of a govenor in nigeria, which she promise to give me a sponsorship letter from the office of the first lady....
My question is will i just submit the sponsorship letter with all the neccessary document together ? Did i stand a chance of getting my visa approval?
Note am only using the sponsorship letter as the means of fund.
Please house help a friend
Thanks all

Kenya VO will not look at this application twice before making a decision. International students with full funded scholarships from Canada are getting rejection let alone Governor's wife giving you just a letter. It's better for you to include her bank statements showing proof of her financal sufficiency coupled with the letter. This makes more sense. Rather than submitting just a letter. Even if you're being sponsored by TETFUND, or NDDC, you would still need to present your bank statement showing that your estimated annual expenses have been paid in your account.

Visa is issued, and has been sent to vfs Abuja, do I have to pay money to collect my Visa even after i still did biometric in Abuja office. I submitted my passport for stamping the same place I didn't biometric, and they're asking for 15k to collect passport, is that how it's done....just want to be sure

I think it depends on who you met at the counter (VFS). Generally, you're not expected to pay a dime since that the office you previously enrolled for your biometrics. I know some peeps that submitted their passports but weren't asked to make any payment.

Hi Ozzz, I don't agree with the below assertion. Under AIPP, once you receive a job offer from an employer, you, with the assistance of your employer, will get a settlement plan from a settlement planning agency. Your job offer letter with the settlement plan is what your employer will use to apply for endorsement from the respective province.

Settlement plan is just to guide you on how to settle in seamlessly when you land and not to provide you with free accommodation. Settlement plan is free but accommodation is never free.

Cheers

cc: developrog

Valid! This was exactly the same info that was stated on my settlement plan by the intake counselor (settlement agency) after my interview on January 21st, 2019. Accommodation is not free, they can only assist you to settle smoothly upon your arrival to Canada.
