Due to currency controls in effect in Nigeria, you must provide one of the following: 1) a letter from a Canadian financial institution stating that the funds necessary for the upcoming academic year* are on deposit in the your name and a bank statement for the Canadian account; 2) a bank draft in convertible currency for the funds necessary for the upcoming academic year* made payable jointly to you and the educational institution; or 3) written assurance from the your bank that the funds necessary for the upcoming academic year* are on deposit as well as written assurance from the Central Bank of Nigeria that you will be permitted to export this amount. *For greater clarity, “funds necessary for the upcoming academic year” means the entire tuition for one academic year plus living expenses ($10,000 CAD for 12 months or, if your course is shorter than 12 months, $833 CAD for each month of study).

1. if u silent ur BSc what will u use to cover up that gap (about 4yrs)? Cos u must have to put something whitin that period.
2. yes u can use someone that doesn't share same surname with u but the person must write a convincing letter of support and give reasons why he wants to spend millions on ur education (knowing fully well u not is brother or son....), to sweeten the deal he will have to pay ur tuition fee and send ur living expenses (10k cad) into ur bank account so as to show commitment .

Hello House.

Thanks for this thread.

I studied Economics and completed NYSC in 2015. Now I prefer to build a career in my new found love - Graphic Design in CNA, Newfoundland:

1. Please should I mention anything about BSC Economics in my SOP?
2. Please has anyone made it through with a Visa Grant by using a non-same surname relative with Sponsorship Letter and Sworn Affidavit?

I would appreciate any swift and solid response.

Cheers.
