However , u won’t be stranded..good grades would get u a scholarship, financial aid is also there . And if u knw u ain’t good academically den u hv to be able to work lik Jackie.
The funny thing is that , no much changes or wide margin in Canadian tuition/prices from 2014 till now . Na only our country messed up with ova 100% increase in exchange rate . IMO, an average person won’t be stranded in subsequent years provided 1st year expenses r fixed

Predator188:
I hope you know that ........
1 Canadian dollar is equal to 150 naira in 2014 compared 2022 @ current cbn rate 330 .
While there has been increase in tuition fees in Canadian public schools since 2014 and also he got 50% off for 2nd year on cheaper tuition fee in 2014 compared to 2022 tuition fees there is marginal difference..even scarcity of foreign currency at official rate to pay first year school is also a challenge at least you can do the math from here...

I don’t think any1 can be stranded in Canada ..once u are able to pay first year Tuition u will be able to pay d subsequent ones with ease and still hv savings sef .. make I burst ur brain , small 19yrs old boy got Prince Edward uni bsc admission in 2014, him pman say na jus 1st ur tuition he go pay mk d guy fix himsef wen he gets there . D small boy enta n never disturbed him pman after d first yr .he even con dey make money pass me wey be him street broda sef ..lol… he passed his 1st yr exam very well and got 50% off his 2nd yr tuition. The prob of Canada na d visa , once u get d visa u go dey alright

Ishola2002:
2 years College Diploma dey o but dem no go apply for am but na dis B.sc. Them go con later dey stranded

1: if your sch and course require co-op work placement then you should have a letter indicating that included with ur LOA
2: It means digital passport photograph, u can take it with ur phone, just check the requirement for it
3: your SOP and every oda supporting docs u want to package with ur app can go into the client information section .. u can use webform to submit ur medical

Chechem:
Please house,
I want to start applying gradually. On my list of documents to upload, there are things I need clarifications on please.

1. Evidence of work requirement in study. What does this mean?

2. What do they mean my digital photo?

I am using the GC key platform and I am not seeing where to upload some documents like SOP and medicals ...


I need guidance o. And I am determine in doing it myself...

What did you do wrong in your application that led to d ban?
IMO, I think u shd go ahead and apply for the UK, they are givin visa to almost everybody provided you have the requested amount of POF in ur acct for 28days and also make partial or full tuition deposit. Since the sch won’t refund your tuition deposit unless u are being refused visa , then it’s better u apply.

EMMYLODE:
I got banned tonight and now inadmissible to Canada for the next 5 years. I am devastated. This is the saddest day of my life beside my father's death

I just got my cas for my admission in UK and at the stage to apply for study visa to UK having paid my tuition fees. I am considering requesting for refund of my fees but I see from the school site that there must be tangible reason to request for refund e. g Visa refusal, I have not been refused UK Visa yet because I have not even applied. Visa application fee is too high for an application that has very slim chances of success. It will be double pain to proceed with the Visa application and be rejected and the school seemingly not ready to make refund without a concrete reason.

I need advise please my people

99.9% chance provided you pass d medical

Awesomegod2023:
My nL people, please come to my aid I got a medical request from ircc what’s the high chance of getting approved after medicals.

Congrats !! I like how u spoke things into existence by faith

Oldfashioned145:
God has been faithful. Its original passport request for this young vibrant Soul.

They do not have live access to account submitted. If you printed out d stmt for submission , they can only confirm from bank if the statement is genuine and likewise confirm if the available balance as at when the statement was printed out was correct with what the bank has on record. But if u had submitted the mbs stmt format , they will do the confirmation by logging into the mbs portal to see what you submitted.
If they need updated balance they wud request for a new statement from u . Bank cannot give them information beyond what you submitted

My frnd’s wife withdrew large part of the money in her account after she printed out her bank MBS and submitted her SP application. She got approved , she’s studying in Canada now

Stifflah09:
Good evening guys so my agent sent me my refusal pdf this evening and said it’s a POF issue, the account I submitted is my dads Ivorian business account which had roughly 20m naira when you convert the cfa to naira. My agent claims that the closing balance as at the time of application wasn’t there during verification, well I wanna ask if the IRCC actually has access to know an account’s balance at anytime. My dad confirmed that he used a good amount of the money for some business deals hoping to deposit it soon.

Did u receive an email as to that effect or u jus checked ur profile and found out they have requested for ur medicals ?

Jeffi7:
PLS I NEED HELP WITH BOOKING FOR MEDICAL SCREENING IN EITHER IOM OR QLIFE, IRCC JUST SENT ME MEDICAL SCREENING REQUEST AND I CAN'T SEE ANY CLOSE ENOUGH DATE TO SELECT FROM ON THE WEBSITE.

PLS ANYBODY WHO HAS ADVICE ON WHAT I CAN DO SHOULD PLEASE HELP.

THANKS

Could it be the recent meeting and visit of our Vice President to Canada on bilateral trade relationship and diplomatic relationship that’s triggering this recent quick processing time for November applicants ?

Congratulations!!
November applicants getting quick response with speed of lite

Please what documents do I need to submit my passport at VFS Lagos as a first time applicant. I did my biometrics there too.

We are processing your background check . We will send you a message if we need more information.

Is this a generic message the background processing shows when form is submitted or it changes to this message when the application background check starts ?

Sorry for the denial . Address the reasons for denial and refire .. it will end in praise !

In other news, You guys that submitted in November are getting quick response.. seems ircc increased their staff strength and applications submitted in November filtered into the system of new VOs that don’t have back log of apps on their system

Refusal reason-- Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family)

I submitted POF of 20m, Inflow outflow of 40m

What could be wrong?

Wow.. good

shankeybee:
I can help fast track your Form A school fees application with UBA 08124299085

You are wrong .. what they requested is atleast a year calculation not the total year .
Then u will further show them proof to convince them that you will still be getting funding from your sponsor for subsequent year without necessarily working in Canada..
right on this NL in 2014 , I have read and undergrad that got approved with 7.7m in his uncle’s acct and he further showed d assets his uncle has

Profgordons:
It is quite simple, that amount is too small for an undergraduate program. For four years of study you will need at least twice to three times that amount. You might be lucky with some VO but you are better off with a two or one year program

This good news lately is a motivation to us the hopefuls … congratulations!

Medical request is 99.9% app being approved. So work with the 12weeks ircc processing time before getting worried

Queenfunlola:
After submitting application when will I get my medical request letter please ? I submitted with my husband and 2kids without upfront medical .
Pls anyone can help with this question.

Medical request is almost same as approval provided u didn’t fail… personally , I haven’t seen any1 given medical request and app denied .

diizzy968:
Not quite. It is believed that the chances of getting PPR is high once you get a MEDICAL REQUEST

MBS is always better

Hello guys,

If you need to make school fees payment upto $10k CAD, please reach out.

Escrow is welcome.

Get mpower and add it to d phd funding as pof

sudo1986:
Its like I am not ready for this Canada of a thing. This that people have a lot of money to show a proof of fund, and there is my brother relying on only 19,900 CAD PhD funding from his school.
Who will help with a proof of funding bayi?

Lagos

Abeg441:
Hello house, when writing my SOP and letter of sponsorship do I need to address it to any of the Lagos or Abuja offices? If yes a little guidance and references please.

Well, ircc requirement is to show pof for 1yr . You can now further show dem proof that u won’t be financially crippled for the rest of d years without working in Canada

Thomsyne:
Given your response,

Living exp for 3 years = 30k CAD
Tution = 19800 or 20k sha

Total 50k CAD. By CBN’s rate, this is about 16.5M.

So the 12M might not work. You’ll need to back this up with something else

Wish you all the best

If you can get the mpower loan add it to ur application

Fulani14:
Good day gurus,
Pls I need help on how to package my proof of funds as my mother who is my sponsor plans to sell her properties for 12m, would it be enough for an estimated tuition of CAD19800, also am thinking of using it as gift deed, or how shuld i present it to the visa officer? My sponsor also has intention to use the money to increase her business so she can be paying the school fees from her buisness. I would also like to know if I should add mpower loan to back it up.pls advise me on it

Maybe he should look for a sponsor .
Yes! those guys doing the pof tin charge d range of 3-3.5% .. so 150k for 5m is true .
But this parole works well for UK compared to Canada, UK doesnt really give a damn about lump sum amount but Canada does. Uk jus wanna see u maintain dat amount for 28days but that isn’t applicable for Canada . Unless he can use documents to explain the lump sum anyway, maybe to claim its return on xoxoxo investment or sales of xoxoxo property , but then he must back it up with proof

sudo1986:
Thank you very much for your response. Actually the person is currently doing a PhD progeam in China, but needs to relocate because his supervisor just resigned.
The person has not been able to work anywhere, hence he doesnt have any proof of fund to show.
I think he said he contacted someone about all these POFs of a thing and that person asked him to pay #150k per month for #5m. The truth is that the guy can not afford such money monthly. This is why I askes the question on his behalf if it is compulsory to present statement of account.

What could you suggest in this situation?

Thank you

Your Tuition plus additional $10k Cad ,thats what is required by ircc atleast to be available on ur pof.. Even if d funding is enough to cover all d tuition and d additional 10k required, it makes sense if u can further show to the VO that without the funding or work in Canada , you will be good to go and financially ok to live in Canada during your study years

sudo1986:
University of Victoria

By the way, which other expenses should be covered?

These are the expenses:

Tuition for each semester = $2,639.50
Athletics = $92.46
GSS Bus Pass = $81.00
Graduate Student Society = $95.25
GSS Dental Plan = $284.55
GSS Extended Health Plan = $409.00
Mandatory Medical Insurance = $265.00

Therefore, the person would pay the following for each term;
Fall Term = $3,866.76
Winter Term = $2,908.21
Summer Term = $2,908.21
Average for a year = $9,683.18

So, the person is left with $10,000+

Is there any other fee to show funding for?

What university biko ?
Yes , u would show statement for the remaining expenses the PhD funding didn’t cover

sudo1986:
Hello guys, please I have a question.

A brother is going for a PhD program at one University in Canada.

He got a funding of $19,921 CAD.

He will pay the sum of $7k+ for tuition and $2k for all other expenses.
In short, all the school expenses including small small money is $9,800 CAD/year.

This implies that he would be left with $10k+ yearly.

The question is; does he still need to present a bank statement? If yes, how much?

Thank you very much.

I guess people so keen to move long before their resumption don’t care about the living expenses, they have d confidence of disobeying d law and work under the table without enrollment … lol … no be everybody be rich kids for dis japa tinz oo, omo! Some ppl na loan and Dey gas go on time to begin to dey hustle for pay back … lol…. But disobeying the law isn’t a good idea for someone that would be looking forward to getting a PR after studies … make bad record no go haunt d person in future

kennyjoy:
We've talked about it several times here! It is not illegal or offensive to arrive before your start date, but you must have a genuine reason if questioned by a CBSA officer about why you arrived so early.

Another factor is your living expenses. Let me tell you something, once you cross the border into Canada, bills await you, REMEMBER you will start spending $ not naira again ooo, and you can't start working until your school resumes. So one month before resumption is still ideal, and you can settle in within that time frame. If you have huge POF & living expenses (money), well, that’s won’t be a problem.
