Johnstan can you forward me some nice SOP draft? Please

I remember I used an SOP draft I found on an older thread of this Canadian visa thread and a lot that I found on Google. I found them on mostly Indian Canada study blogs.
I kept reviewing drafts, picking statements I liked and adding to mine. I also used grammarly and two other sites to check for plagiarism repeatedly and for better choice of words.

It's tedious but you will need to do the job If you want an outstanding sop describing you and not someone else.

Good luck.

Snooky:
Did it work for u that way too or do u probably know someone it worked for?

Sale of properties, gift deeds, loans etc are a great part of POF for so many people on this thread if you backread. Do I personally know someone? No.
Is there any challenge you want to address by knowing someone who did personally?

IRCC just serve me breakfast+ Dinner. It's well

Don't be discouraged. It can be painful after the long wait. Repackage and refire.

Winnerpoks:
What's MBS please?

My bank statement - MBS. It's your bank statement sent to IRCC directly by your bank as against the traditional printed, signed and stamped statement.

Thomsyne:
I salute mehn. 3 years program with roughly 15M as PoF.
How much are your school fees, if you don't mind.

Lol it's crazy I know. It's as expensive as you can imagine. I knew it barely covered 2 yrs and seeing People's POF and explanation here was a great discouragement so i explained the hell out of my SOP as regards that stating that subsequent years would not be a problem.
It may not work for everyone but it worked for me. I even quoted their IRCC minimum requirement for POF at some point and explained that I had more than that lol.
It's just God that did it for me.

Princeofabia:
I'm really happy for you man. Congrats. You have been really helpful here.

Thanks bro. It still feels like a dream.

7COLOURS:

Your PPR will most probably drop tomorrow. Can't wait to celebrate you.

breakice31:
Pls, with the POF provided in your application, how many years is your program?
I used the new portal too (September 23).
They are treating new portals, maybe �

Yea, just be hopeful..My program is 3 yrs... Forgot to add that.

I'm sure you packaged your best application, don't stress or worry cos you can't withdraw it. Just be hopeful and prayerful as well.

Good luck

GodswillBeDone:
Congratulations bro!! This is the beginning of your successes! More wins! Cheers!

Thanks

Snooky:
Please who has applied for study visa and was approved with proceeds from sale of property as proof of funds? I really need someone with that first-hand experience to help me. I will really appreciate.

Explain in your sop the source of the funds, attach proof and you're good to go.

7COLOURS:
Thanks for the encouragement. My school resumption date is near and deferring my admission may not be favorable.

More so, I checked flights last weekend and was surprised to see how expensive it was. Started having headache afterwards lol

God dey

I prayed it doesn't get to that for you ijn. Resume your emails and webform. Target when they will be resuming work. Don't send mails for them to see towards close of business if you get what I mean.

I checked flights too and my jaw dropped. I quickly closed it lol. Will check later

Dear this is the update I have been waiting for after 4months. Seems you and my nephew were the only one that applied using new portal on this platform. It’s good to here they good news atleast. 95percents of applicants posting ppr here for the past 3 to 4 months uses the old portal.

My nephew still waiting for positive news though. Submitted on August 9th. Since then no update only medical passes on October 18th. Till today eligibility hasn’t started . I help him submit the application.

It will end In praises .
The new portal was introduced during COVID or so, not sure, so it's quite new.
My plan was to use the old Portal but had issues with payment back then so i switched to the new portal thinking it would solve the payment. I later figured it was cos I was using a naira card so I stuck with the new portal.
If not for the 2mb thingy, the new portal was great, it saved me the stress of filing those numerous pdfs lol.

amaka4obiiiie:
Sorry never heard of MBS. I’m a novice at this kind of thing bro. Help a sis understand better

MBS - my bank statement.
It's your statement generated and sent to the embassy by your bank directly as against the signed printout you scan by yourself and upload.

Once the MBS is sent successfully the bank will give you a receipt printout. That's what you upload as you POF.

Good luck.

pufframmy:
MBS for all the account submitted with your sponsor too

Yes all accounts

7COLOURS:
My people, I'm so worried.

My application is now 5 months and 3 weeks yet no PPR

I was depressed on Sunday with severe headache and could not go to church.

Make una help me beg IRCC o, my tired is tired

Abi what else do I need to do?

Sorry about this.
I sent 2 emails and 2 webforms every 6am Nigerian time for like three weeks with weekend breaks

I couldn't give the webforms a subject but my email subjects were |URGENT| July applicant - Application past processing time.
I changed the subject every week too, I also used |URGENT - APPLICATION PAST PROCESSING TIME| July applicant etc just to draw attention to the mail.

Chechem:
Congrats brother, I tap from your grace. Please the power of attorney, is it the whole pages you uploaded or just the front page?

7COLOURS:
God be praised

Wow!!!

I rejoice with you.

Mine is next in Jesus name

Thanks @7colours. I recall our conversation when my application was still fresh.

Yours in next ijn amen.

pufframmy:
Wow congrats once more did you pay any of Your tuition fees or u didn't pay at all
And can u also Help With sop reviewing

Thanks

I omitted that part. I paid first semester fees.

I'm not sure about reviewing SOP cos I'm not a guru here, I simply wrote what I felt would present me in a good light. You can consult the gurus here to help or you can ask specific questions about any part of your SOP and I'll give you my opinion.

Good luck.

This application was just God. My first post on thread 21 is attached to show you how nervous and scared I was.
I made up my mind and started the journey in May 2022, got admission 3 weeks into the month and came to Nairaland for visa application advice. I went through several threads before arriving at thread 21 and I was immediately discouraged with the documents I saw people packaging. People had landed properties, business/personal/sponsors accounts with tens/hundreds of millions as turnover and balance, gift deeds here and there, affidavits of different kinds, scholarships etc, so I spent the entire June gathering the documents I could.
I had over 30 supporting documents so shrinking it to 2mb was no child's play. I eventually did and uploaded without checking it. I checked afterwards and realized that [/b]half of documents were blurry and unreadable[b], I almost died lol. I just left everything. I'm not a spiricoco person but I don't doubt the God factor so I prayed the little I could every morning till PPR dropped.
My take away:
Your documents and packaging are important but at the end it's God so don't get carried away with self confidence and don't be discouraged as well, put in your best and leave the rest to God.
I had up to 15 SOP drafts till I couldn't draft any more and used the last one to apply so don't underestimate the power of your SOP and do a good job with it.
My POF didn't cover my total duration so I ensured that I explained that subsequent years would not be a problem while quoting their minimum requirement on IRCC website.

How do I submit my passport, please help.

Cadygosh:
Good day house, please I am about to pay my fees via Form A to Conestoga College, but I am confused about how to go about it.. In the Beneficiary information, should I put Conestoga details or Custom House Financial (UK) Ltd.
200 Hammersmith Road, London, W6
ECACI52205338435 7DL, United Kingdom as seen in the screenshot below. Please I will appreciate responses from applicants who recently paid their tuition via form A to Conestoga College. Please note I got this page form Conestoga Western Union globalpay page.

Payment via form A is to the beneficiary on your invoice. If the beneficiary on your invoice is your school then go ahead.

The form A portal has three sections, one for your info, the other for the beneficiary's info and the last for your documents upload.

Fill in and submit then the long wait for disbursement starts.

Good luck.

Elpromisa:
Hello guys. Pls I need help. I have been trying to fill out the ircc forms but it was telling me to download Adobe reader which I have done and installed but the forms are not still opening. Please any help at all will be appreciated. Downloading that form is frustrating me.

Don't click the forms from the IRCC site to view them directly with the pdf you downloaded.

Download the pdf forms from IRCC site, go to where you saved them on your PC and click on open with, select Adobe PDF and it will open.

Good luck

Bigdaddy001:

Don't forget to contact your school as regards deferring timely so you don't loose your admission.
