Ok, thanks.

Canada beats the UK by any measure in terms of ease of immigration for students - IT students inclusive.
The UK is way ahead of Canada in terms of how relatively easy it is for students to get there in the first place.

Thanks, points taken.

Oloshi83:
In terms of actually getting admission to a Uni, the UK is by far easier. If you don’t have at least a 2.1, getting on to a masters course in Canada can be tricky.

In terms of the visa application itself, the UK is also generally easier in terms of have the cash in your account or your parent’s account, have an unconditional offer and you’re most of the way there.

The main thing I think Canada has over the UK in terms of the application process is you can use a third party as a sponsor.

Note that, as per your question, I am only talking about academics here and not post study visas or route to citizenship. Canada beats the UK there hands down.

Good morning guys not to derail the thread but to resolve an argument, between Canada and UK which is more easier to navigate in terms of Msc. for immigration purpose as an IT student?

Then put in the work it takes. Do your research. Don’t just read page 1 and conclude that it’s stressful. Think of a course that would suit you. Go online. Apply to universities. Know the financial requirements for a tier 4 application. Get your account funded and get your documents ready.

You can’t just “want to leave Nigeria”. Put in the work too. Best wishes!

I didn't get this part please. Can you enlighten me better?

LagosismyHome:


Maybe you missed the part where it is the date you submit the application online that is used for calculations ..... not the date you use assisted service. Don't mix both dates

I think you get my point. This is what I thought too

mimilyrics:
Yes, you can submit your application without uploading your documents because the upload is usually after you've submitted and picked an appointment date but the funds must have matured before the submission even if you're printing after your submission.

Initially, I thought one can submit his/her visa application without uploading documents then come with a matured POF along with others for biometrics. I get now, thanks.

mimilyrics:
Your proof of funds must be ready before your application submission, not biometrics appointment.
If your funds have not spent 28 days in your account before submission, it will be an issue. If you decide to do either self upload or assisted service after you've submitted your application (which must be after the maturity of your proof of funds), it's not an issue.

Please how much does it cost for priority visa?
[quote author=LagosismyHome post=93257672][/quote]

What if one decides to book an appointment with assisted service for a date after the Proof of funds have matured?

LagosismyHome:


If you fund is not ready then it impossible to book appointment because that submission date is tied to your fund and the 28days calculation and exchange rate

So big NO

But I believe this person still has to show financial evidence for maintenance fee. Please quoteme if am wrong.

duchess90:
Hello,
If it is a fully sponsored scholarship then I think apart from your documents on your CAS your TB should be next.

Can I advice that you double check your application with your school and confirm that details are all okay before submitting.

All the best

I believe only the informations required from the CAS are required to be filled in while making your application.

Benediktejike:
Please, when uploading documents, must i upload my CAS?

Yes, 14th Sept is confirmed

LagosismyHome:


Do you absolutely have the 14th date confirmed for TB. If yes then the risk is reduced if no then too risky incase you get a later TB

But what happens if there issues with your TB result

Can someone please help with this? Thanks

Hebraeem:
Also, please for clarification, can a bank statement of a blocked account submitted as proof of funds? i.e an account locked for 28days to avoid unnecessary or unconscious redrawal, to best put it for safety purpose. Asking for a friend. Thanks

Thank you. I understand the concern, just that my start date is 14th sept and I'm really anxious that's why I want to pick available dates now and use assisted services.
Maybe I will pick a more later date. Thanks.

naledis:
You can take the risk. People have had issues with their tuberculosis screening and didn’t have the certificate issued to them immediately.

I would suggest you have every document you need before proceeding. However you can book an appointment with the hope that nothing goes wrong or delays the issuance of the TB certificate seeing as you’ll be cutting it real close

Please can you book a later appointment without TB certificate at hand? E.g. Booking an appointment of 19th September for TB testing of 14th September. Thanks

Good morning guys, please booking an appointment will cost how much on TLS?

Of the school, thanks again.

toysleek:

Yes and postcode

Thank you sir/Ma. And the phone number too?

toysleek:

Your school address

Thank you sir

TheGuyFromHR:


I used the university's contact details when we went for the TB test.

Good morning, please I'm trying to fill my IOM form to register for my appointment and there's the "address and phone number in the UK". I'm not sure what I'm suppose to fill there. I'm a novice oo

Good evening guys, please is a printout of transaction screenshot of my payment for TB testing acceptable?

Thank you.

Benediktejike:

It is 57,800

Good morning guys, hope you all had a nice night? Please I want to pay for TB testing this morning, how much is the naira conversion? Should I use Oanda? Thanks

Yeap

QueensRoad1:


Going to Huddersfield ��

Ok thanks. Any one heading to U of huddersfield?

Franklyn4:


You can put it in any of your account type, so long as they bear the same names you are using for all your applications. Good luck

Thank you. Also, please can I keep my tuition and maintenance fees in my savings account or it must be a current account as proof of funds?

Arhmiee:


Yes, you can. Send the receipt or screenshot of the receipt to their mail.
You can also print out your receipt when going there as proof of payment.

Good afternoon guys, please can one make bank transfer for TB testing from a Naira savings account? If not, from which please?

Ok thanks. I will look it over.

mimilyrics:
I believe that the information you require is in the screenshot below. Link to the full doc

Wawu! So please what's the assurance that if you start your course online you'll be able to travel after?

mimilyrics:
That's advice for those applying from inside the UK. The advice for those outside the UK starts about 7 sections below the section in your screenshot.

I think this justifies those saying you can travel after your start date so far you registeredfor the course online.

justwise:


You will struggle to make it because you will have less than one month to apply for visa

Good morning, please how much is TB testing in naira? I'm trying to see something. Thanks.

Ok, thanks. Anyone know if Teesside or Huddersfield got transition period and arrangements like that?

Cigbojugha:


I don't know for other schools. I only know of Northumbria University.

You can travel after your start date provided you enrolled online on your start date and commence lectures online while you continue your visa process to enable you travel.
