Cala:
Ticket to Canada right now for one person is about 320k or more. How do you convince the visa officer to give you a visa with less than 500k in your account and you're married with 2 kids?

BE811APP:
Epic!

I love how she described d situation..
Is very detailed...

I believe ur UCI number is somewhere..
My Advice: Let ur Husband go for the masters while u go under SOWP..

GoodLuck Dear!!!
Ok,thanks

Bleuocean:
I hope you will not get pregnant again if God forbid anything happens to your application again and then deliver triplets this time. ??

pampem:
Hi,
Calm down
Will suggest you get another masters if possible related to your experience or better still an MBA/JD- with law specialisation. If not,let your hubby apply first. Then you can apply for SOWP afterwards.
Your kids shld not need a visa considering the fact that they are US born.
The only issue I think you may have with you applying will be purpose of visit with a pgd or diploma.
Hope you had the kids in the US with a medical visa and all bills sorted? And if with a visit visa, did you inform the US embassy of your intentions to have them there? Am asking because Canada and US share infos.
As per the UCI number, check your mails or achive to see if you can get it , if not they sure have a way of getting that when next you apply.
All the same, with God all things are possible
All the best.

Haustraliah:
You have wrote well, but point of correction, your grade where not bad, having a third class is not a big deal, you can still proceed for your program, I will advice two options.
Its either you go for a bridging program by transferring credits, or pgd.
but the problem there is how to convince the VO with those options, because age matters.
Because mostly, 90 percent of applicants that were refused TRV under PGD are purpose of study and all other options.
Wish you good luck.

akanni: i do not think you should cut a draft, instead, just have your husband include his SOA, no waste money to raise draft jor.

Holmes007: No need to re-edit anything, so far as the sentence makes sense, u r good.
My friend and i literally stated it on our SOP and it flew.
For instance, u can say " After i complete my graduate program, i would return to Nigeria with my newly developed and sophisticated ideas not only to make a positive impact on the various segments of the Nigerian govt but be a landmark for upcoming (engineers/ur field)............" OR
"Upon completion my Master's program and arrival back to Nigeria, I would make a meaning contribution, utilizing my international exper, ................ " and so on and so forth....

The main thing is for you to be very constructive and frank(straight to the point).

i hope this helps.....

degreat11: well accord to me, I really don't know about others opinion, I will advice you not to expressly state it...u can replace it with stuff like pdg or masters in this and that will be career booster for me back home, of course they expect u to come back. just try and sync it with ur Job or career path.

double08: State it but don't over emphasise

degreat11: he should not literally write in his SOP that he is coming back... it should be deduced by the VO's themselves. thanks

Holmes007: Yy

I am not arguing with you nor saying that you are not an Official. I replied based on a friend's experience and how she went through the whole passport scenerio.

i dont know it all and i am not here to argue with anyone.

opsynusy: if it is done legally why should one spend extra amount and the normal rule should be 12months and not 6months then...which one is head and back door,lol...people that pays for express, you attend to them immediately and you leave those that have been waiting for weeks just because they don't have money for express!,is that legal?is that head or back door Infact it's the people that paid normal amount that are kept at the back door! Naija,its the wrong things that are legal

PlayPays: Thanks for this. People have tried it and came back here to report how they couldn't get it done. Ideally they will only renew for 6months or less validity and someone just mentioned about writing a letter to abuja alongside ur school acceptance letter, which sounds good.

Holmes007: Trust me, my friend did all the convincing she could when she wanted to apply in July, her passport was more than 9 months valid but wanted a 2yrs study visa. Her parents even called top officials for help but they all said the same thing; WRITE A LETTER!
she had to go to Abuja to renew it.

There is no need to stress the issue. The applicant should go to the nearest NIS around to make enquiries.

opsynusy: nah..my passport expires march 15 2015,i was at NIS august and they told me to wait till sept 15...I don't think a 9month valid passport can be renewed,well it's nigeria,anything can happen

Holmes007: For peeps that hold a passport which has less than 6months validity; they should kindly go to the nearest immigration office around and renew their passport.

For peeps that hold a passport in which its validity is more than 6months and will not cover their period of study in Canada; they are required to write a letter to the director-general of NIS at Abuja stating why they need a new passport. They should also attach their admission letter with the letter OR simply renew at Canada when its about to expire.

opsynusy: NIS won't do it for you until it's 6months to the expiry date,you can still use it if it's still valid for 10months

PlayPays: What experience are you writing from? Everything you wrote just 100% wrong!
Cic doesn't issue permit for any study of 6 months or less.
And CIC won't issue visa more than ur passport validity, they rather return ur passport for you to go renew it before issuing ur visa.
And cic will never deny someone with excuse of 'purpose of visit' for such.
And lastly I don't think NIS would renew a passport that still have up to 9 months on it.

warrikid: Fellow Naija-canadians,in nigeria and in diaspora. I have a strong feeling dat my application has been delayed. Got this mail from Vfs dis afternoon saying they have dispatched my passport(without medicals). I applied ist of april via paper route. Yet to know what their reason was. I hope I am either wrong or I'm dreaming.*somebody wake me up*. (Wish I do "seeds n stones",cos I rly need to get "stoned".

skylar2020: Its not compulsory for online route. and if u intend getting one, try n get it in lag because the least amount they will ask you to pay in Edo state is 18k

PlayPays: If the school is requesting for it then pay it but if they're not then whichever you do is okay. It ain't a big deal to get u confused.

Jaydenehis: Hi all
Please i'm abit confuse. I have made a deposit 4 my fees but wondering if I should pay d balance or leave d cash in my husband's domiciliary acct then print it out or should I just pay d fees? Please which option is better? Thank you so muchg

tee12345: Check University of Windsor if the school offers a program you may like. A bit expensive but you are most likely to gain admission.

millymc: they didn't reject u cuz u didn't go through their agent,my elder bro applied him self......

Holmes007: Just before u make the decision of going for a second Masters and paying the $95-$100 application fees while considering ur undagrad CGPA. U must understand that Canadian Universities have minimum requirements which is usually 2.1 or 1st class, rarely 2.2 for Nigerian schools but i wouldnt know if law school counts (work experience counts but not as academics). But u did Masters in UK, u should be able to apply for a 2nd Masters or PHD irrespective of ur Undergrad results (not 100% sure).
My advice, contact each academic unit u r interested in before thinking of applying for a 2nd Masters or PHD.
