I know someone that got study visa without NYSC experience...since it's d same course,,u may try it
Thank you.
The main fear is whether he will be able to secure a job in that field with no prior experience

Before selling lands, can your brother explore the option of getting funding for his masters program. He should look for thesis based M.Sc. in Computer Science program. He may get part or full funding. Those fundings are competitive but people are still getting them and many schools in Canada offer such funding.

I should add that family ties is one of the excuses IRCC officials give when they have no genuine reasons to deny visas. Focus more on getting admission with funding.
I will look into this. Thank you very much

ATTAHDYE:
This post comes off as pessimistic and I don't know why.

He is a fresh graduate so nobody is going to expect him to provide proof of employment.

You said he doesn't have family ties? This contradicts you being related to him and him having parents.

When you say your parents are petty traders, how "petty" are we talking? From my experience, it is better to look at their bank accounts first, some Nigerian do a lot of transactions without knowing because they don't pause to review their Financials.

It is only after you go through their bank statements that you can plan better on how to sponsor him.

All the best.
I thought selling a land for POF might be viewed as though he won’t be returning back to his country after studies
My parents business is in the informal sector so it’s not registered. We figured it might be better to have the money in his account instead

Hello everyone,
I am making enquiries for my 20 years old brother graduating from uni this month (Computer science). The family is trying to find the best way for him to leave the country for his masters.
Are we making the right decision sending him to UK considering job opportunities in that sector?
It’s hard to get any information from people already in the UK

We are so lost and any advise would be very much appreciated. Thank you

Hello everyone,
I am making enquiries for my 20 years old brother graduating from uni this month (Computer science). The family is trying to find the best way for him to leave the country for his masters. My parents are petty traders and hope to sell a land or two for POF, however, we worry that his visa might be rejected because of that (no ties to home country)
He is not working yet so he can’t self fund. Please what is the best way for us to move forward?
Are we making the right decision sending him to Canada considering job opportunities?
What is the best time to deposit the money in the account to start POF?

We are so lost and any advise would be very much appreciated. Thank you

Hello everyone, I have a question
My brother wants to apply for a masters degree in data science but was informed he needs a sponsor. The problem is that our parents are not formally employed. We intend on selling the some lands for proof of funds. The only issue is having a sponsor.
Please does anyone know how to go about it. He is finishing his BSc in June

Hello everyone, I’m making enquiries on behalf of my brother (20 years in 2026). He’s currently in his final year studying Computer Science at Igbenedion University (Nigeria)
He plans to go for his masters in Australia. Does anyone have any advice on the schools? Or programs in high demand or any advice in general

You can have a trusted friend in the uk pay it for you. That was what I did


Pipeloluwa:
Hi guys, please I would highly appreciate your support in helping me navigate the process of my IHS and VISA fees payment.
I got a full scholarship at SOAS, London, with accommodation and some stipend. I have done my TB test since last week. And since then, I have been figuring how to go about my IHS fees payment.

I do not have a dollar account, neither do I have any family member that has. Please I would appreciate your suggestions on how I can go about making this payment through platforms that works(tested and trusted). Thank you for your help😊

Hello everyone, I would be arriving Birmingham Airport on Thursday and my agent texted me that recent bank statements are being asked for at the point of Entry. Please how true is it? I already emptied my naira account since April 1st and changed 3 months rent to pounds.

I had a UK visit visa refusal last year, but this group was really helpful with my current application. I highly recommend that prospects go through the thread, as most questions have already been asked and answered.
Good luck to everyone!

Hello everyone, please I want to know if they ask any questions like the pre CAS interview when you go for biometrics
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by ItsSmile: 10:48am On Feb 21, 2025
What course are you going for?

Blezzytams:
Is Ulster University Birmingham a great school? I didn’t see anything about the Birmingham campus on Ulster University website. I got a conditional offer for may intake but thinking of deferring to September.
Please someone should help a confused brother before I pay my tuition deposit.

print 30days or 28days statement a day after the money enter
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by ItsSmile: 12:38am On Feb 07, 2025
You’re right! Thank you so much
smoothknight:
Why not just wait for 28days for that 40M to mature. You won’t have to be uploading unnecessary documents. Leave the money for 28days while you use that account very well with transactions going in and out. Then you upload your account statement after the day the 40m entered your account. Don’t let your statement reflect the date the 40M entered your account.

Someone please let me know if I have to show proof of the source of funds or employment letter

Hello everyone,
I had a uk visit refusal last year and I’m about to apply for my CAS.
About 40m was deposited into my Acct proceeds from a land sale, I want to know what other documents I’ll need to upload for visa aside my bank statement. Would I need the land sale agreement? (Which is in my dads name)
I graduated BSc last year and not yet work so I don’t have any pay slips.
