It is rather too early for Canadian Universities to send admission letters to sept 2019 intakes , Maybe he was on a waiting list.
Most of them would send notifications by 2nd week of febuary

Good morning House.
I intend applying for NAIT and I have a Canadian citizen (with no family ties) who is willing to help with the admission process and funding. Do I stand a chance? How easy or difficult is NAIT admission process?
Thanks

Unfortunately guys my study permit was rejected after 24weeks and 4days. This message dropped yesterday but just saw it now, plus I had totally lost hope before now cus of the long silence. So not feeling bad as I am planning the year for another pasture. Well attached to this is my rejection letter. Any opinion, suggestion or advise would be appreciated is Canada worth trying again or just face somewhere else.

I was a student of one of the Nigerian universities doing a diploma program. Almost two years into the program, the NUC scrapped diploma programs for universities. I was broken! So I decided to study abroad.

I applied for a visa to study in the US five times within a period of one year!
I couldn't get past the interviews cos I couldn't explain myself to the VO (kind of an introvert).
So I decided to try Canada once and if I didn't get the visa, I would give up any hope left of studying abroad. Fortunately my first application has just been approved.

I have never crossed Nigerian borders. That is, I have no travel history.

Observation:
I'm not a guru, but from my observation spending a lot of time on the US student visa thread and this Canada student visa thread;
The VOs know there is a 70% chance of we not returning to Nigeria after graduation, but they can't deny all applications based on this fact. So they want someone who shows potential of adding something positive to Canada, incase the person doesn't return to his/her country.
They key is just "self-hype". In my SOP, the way I hyped myself, you'ld think I thought Zuckerberg how to code.
(Hype yourself with sense sha)

Note: The above doesn't mean you should neglect saying you will come back to Nigeria. In my SOP, I stated some career opportunities for computer science graduates in Nigeria.

I fasted and prayed too. God did his part and I did mine. Thanks to God.

Special thanks to Frankreubben.
This guy went out of his way to teach me things I didn't know about the visa process. I too go ask am question!.. lol.... Thanks a lot brother.
Thanks to everyone who shared their profile and contributed in one way or the other to this thread.

To the hopefuls, "It shall end in praise!"

penitential:
What do you want to explain inside the SOP?
Kindly note that the approval of your study permit is not dependent upon the content of your SOP. Applicants have successfully landed their study permits even WITHOUT any SOP
