my Elder brother hu is a PR and my CO sponsor removed all his money from his account for down payment for a house.that was y he had to send 10,000 CAD for me to open a GIC account as proof of his willingness to support my education. he says he cannot send his statement of account cos it is reading minus cos of his heavy investment in the property he bought.however ,he will b sending his pay stub for 7 months,his employment and confirmation letter,evidence that he paid in my living expenses to my account, etc.note that I am the main sponsor and I have paid my first year tuition fee myself using form A. and I still have 9.5m sitting balance after all payment in my Naira account.He wrote in his letter of support that he is taking care of my living expenses in Canada and that I will be responsible for my school fees. hope am good to go? or should he still send his very weak account statement ? note my 2nd year school fees is 17,550 CAD

I believe you r so good to go bro. That gic and first year deposit is more than enough..

In all, Grace will abound

If you are self sponsored like me, provide the following ( this is based on what I submitted and I was approved)
Employment letter
Payslips
Bank statement
Pension statement
Letter from employer stating that he is aware of my study ( although I didn’t apply for a leave)
Then an SOP linking your undergraduate courses to your current job and how it relates to the prospective course you are about studying.
I also submit travel history
Undergraduate certification and transcript
Certifications and trainings

Hi.. I'm a self sponsor, submitted all you listed except pension statement.... Hope all is well?

Keren12:
Please guys I have urgent inquiries to make.
1. What's the maximum and minimum pages for sop?
2. Should I state and explain all the lump sum that has been entering my account in my sop?

1) there's no fixed pages to sop, some writes 1pg and get their ppr, some writes 8pgs and get theirs as well, it depends on your story...whichever the case may be, ensure your sop is impressive and easy to read (free of grammatical errors)

2) pls do ensure to state every lump sum

Major tip; don't assume that the VO will understand, see the vo as a baby that needs to be spoon feed.

Yes

Ok thanks a lot....

It was around 10M which covered my tuition and LE for one year.

Queenmama03:
Omo my story long oo! But i'll just go straight to the point.

First time applicant, self sponsored although I finished with a first class in economics, I have a 10yr study gap so I wasn't sure how that played out. Going for Masters in Economics at UNB. I'm employed and also have a side business I registered last year. Previous travel to US and Turkey. I wrote GRE, applied and got admission myself but when it came to visa application my liver failed me. That was where Frank (God bless his soul) came to my rescue. Timeline:

Applied 22nd Apr
Vfs biometric 26th Apr
Eligibility & background check started 4th May (may have been earlier but after applying I didn't check the portal until this date)
Upfront Medical done 4th May
Medical E-Slip uploaded 6th May
Biometrics Updated 6th May (I had to email them a reminder)
Medical Passed 7th May
Ghost update 4th June
Sent renewed passport & unconditional acceptance letter via webform 8th June
Agreement prayer with husband when I noticed April applicants getting their decisions 16th June
Ghost update 16th June
BVL & PPR 21st June

Regarding ghost updates, I may have had more but I only check my portal once or max twice a week on average so I can't really say. Also I didn't pay school fees o, not even deposit. The Ijebu in me didn't let me part with my money before visa approval also my school didn't make it compulsory.

Document submitted
Transcripts
SOP
GRE
IELTS
MBS & regular account statement (First bank doesn't have MBS so I just submitted the regular statement and included introduction letter from the bank)
WAEC Certificate
Degree certificate
Employment letter
Introduction letter from employer
Study leave approval letter
Consent letter from my husband
We both indicated that my mum will be taking care of my kids in my absence
Husband's employment letter and work related documents
ID's of my parents and siblings

Hmm the waiting wasn't funny o especially when I see the type of document people submit here, at some point I felt I may not have submitted enough. I just told myself "las las if dem deny my application i'll just focus on my business''. But alas! God did it. Also special thanks to @Lekiboboe his posts really guided me when I was searching for graduate programs.

To all those still waiting, I wish you the very best, God willing it will end the praise.

signing out.

PS: If you dey go New Brunswick please hit me up make we reason one or two.

Pls Queen mama, id like to ask how much was your closing balance as a self sponsored student

GodsGabby:
Hello Mister,
For all the years i have been on nairaland before choosing to create an acct recently to ask my questions since its due time, i have followed all threads concerning school and immigrant especially all thread pertaining to canada, it has been a routine where student share their landing gist on The student canada thread.

The one you mentioned mostly have landing gist for those who got PR through express entry etc.

You have NO right to say that to me when all i said is in line with this thread in order to help prospective student who would be going soon too.

You can go back to threads of years back to read up landing gist that was even so common compared to now.


Please be guided.

Haha!!!
To say what exactly

Hello, it seems that you v misunderstood me... My comment is an addition to your post and not in any way to refute what u said...why would I be against people sharing landing gist and other valuable experiences....

It's best to ask me to come clearer with what I have said before taking offenses.

Be equally guided.

Make peace continue to rain abeg.

GodsGabby:
Happy New Month Family.

From airport experience in 9ja to immigration clearance, flight used and experience onboard, how u were able to package ur food especially unfrozen palm oil, how u scaled through excess luggages and if u paid, ur POE questions and process. also the most important one which is Quarantine plans and vaccination how u booked apartment for it be it Airbnb or whichever and how u got an apartment in location u would be staying that's if u were able to get it before arrival.

E no go bad if u help us with pictures too make we use m hold body, let this thread be lively as we hope and join our faith in prayers for those Yet to receive PPR to get theirs as well.

Also you guys should not forget this thread too when you get there, *feeling so emotional rn* you can help us by telling us how you registered in school and paid insurance, health etc. Just to keep us abreast and those intending to travel too.
Since it's more of colleges and uni too.

Just an Humble opinion.

Happy new month once again Fam.
May the Maple Land Favour you all, may u excel in ur studies and safe flight ijn.

*picks handkerchief *

There's a thread on nigerians living in Canada. One can follow it to get enlightened about life of Nigerians in Canada.

emmalextemtop:
Ohh, really, you mean that

Company can sponsor? If i no longer use my dad, and uses company, will that be okay and sound genuine to the VO?

I had to stop the company sponsorship bcs i heard it won't show much prove, that i have to have strong reason, for them investing such huge money on me, all on knowledge, but parents is still very understandable.

Proof of funds is not just about showing the bulky money, it's about the accessibility. How accessible would the funds be if u using company, this is what you need to emphasize on in your sop...

If u wanna use company, id suggest that you show commitment by paying first year fees..

Your company can, with strong letter to back it up, however you might need to tender the company account details...IMO

An escrow won't come to an applicant rescue when a chargeback occurs and given a 5 year ban by the Canadian authorities. Like I said, you're not worth the risk. No one is!!!

If only you r a lady (with big boobs)!!!!!

ehisforever24:
Please someone should encourage me, I applied July 7th biometrics July 14th and I am resuming classes on the 7th of September

I'm so sorry but id only advise you to defer your resumption to winter.

Statistically speaking one would only get a fast response (fast as in under 1 month) from ircc if:

**IELTS is submitted and u have a really high band score of 7.5 and above

**u submit an MBS

** ur LOE is very well constructed (I mean super impressive )

**u are proactive in your application

** or u r a citizen of India (these guys get their applications processed with speed of light)



If you didn't do any of the above, pls defer your admission to save yourself emotional traumas...


But, in all; with God, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

chykemumen:
Me too. We might need a group to connect everyone

Yes please oooo

I v been asking for this a long time..


I'd advise we don't restrict it to session, cos me am Jan 2022 intake

Omg I’m typing this with tears in my eyes. I applied for study permit since November 16 2020 but after emailing for the past 2 weeks and messaging an MP yesterday, the application is out. I’ve been rejected for personal asset and financial status. The thing is that the account used had millions of naira but rejected still. It’s been years since the last time I shed a tear but today, I shed them like a little baby. I don’t know what to do right now

Loaded hollow!!!

So so sorry about this...

What nonsense!!! Why delay the application for nearly a year...

If you hadn't join nairaland and got the initiative to message MP, this IRCC (highly tempted to insult then) would have delayed more...

Haba!!!!


Pls, re fire, this time, don't do it without carrying 1, 2,3,4,10 gurus along..

Gurus like;

Spectro:
It's a public forum, which means he also has the right to post his views on here. Just as you have the right to do the same.

But if you guys keep dragging this on, this thread will be polluted, and what's the point.

PPR just dropped.

Funny thing is I applied this month, and it's a reapplication.

Previous refusals were purpose of visit and home tie.

So I made some very serious adjustments in my reapplication. I submitted more documents to prove my family tie and explained copiously in my SOP.

The purpose of visit concerns must have been entered in error because I had very good academic/career progression, so I stressed on that, albeit politely.

As for home tie, that's pretty personal and can't share that here with you.

The most important thing is that I did a lot of explaining. I think I wrote like three different LOEs. I also attached a lot of documents as evidence.

But here is the thing, there are many ways of compiling an application. And what works for me may not work for the other person.

I wish you all the best.

What caught my focusless attention in this post is, u said you reqpplied this month and got ppr this month? Wooow!!!

Victory1989:
Hello house my cousin just got his Gcms record came in today and his application status is still In progress since February.

It state that requirements met, eligiblity and criminality passed.

But his not yet ask for IELTS, medicals.

He did his medical two weeks ago ( upfront) application now state that his passed medicals but it wasn't stated in the GCMS record, I feel maybe because his applied for GCMS before doing medicals.

Those his mean his application will be approved.

Yes it surely will be approved...

Eligibility met and passed!!!! Na ppr bro...

Please begin to type your timeline jare...

Perseverer:
I also got feedback from MP. It was swift and very useful.

I just hope that over time this won't lead to thousands of people sending requests to MP. I foresee a situation like that, and this may not be seen in a positive light.

Yeahhhhh true!!!!!

LoadedHollow:
this thread has been a blessing. Complained yesterday and someone advised to email an Mp in the province my school is located it, email sent in by 9am and got feedback by 4pm saying "the mp has submitted an enquiry on my application and it will take 3-5 working days for a response." Hope i get my study permit before September, oh lord. Thanks to everyone. now we wait

God bless you bro...
You will soon smile/or laff l

Perseverer:
We hardly get updates here these days.

People will rush to their keyboards to type PPR news, writing out their list of docs, acquisitions and ample accomplishments. Including strangers that have never posted on this thread before.

But scarcely will you see people post refusals to either seek assistance from the platform or illuminate others.

Honestly, Nairaland is awash with too much PPR news, and I am sure newbies can learn from past success stories.

Apart from updates on PPR (so that one may be able to identify the stage of processing) what I believe we need to see more of are refusals and how they were tackled.

I am certain that for every PPR, there are at least 2 refusals that correspond. But na only success stories we dey hear.

Do you think it's that easy to share bad news Hello, the human factor would play in here.

It takes confidence to share refusals. Besides, we have different people with different emotional strengths. To you, it might seem not a big deal but bro, I pray you don't experience any form of bad news...

Even if refused applicants might wanna share it, they need time to process the feeling first (I commend those that share theirs 24 hours after) please understand people are faster and eager to share that good news than bad ones.

If I may also add, no one owes nobody any updates on this platform. It's in anyone's interest to do so...

May we all smile las las

Lekiboboe:
You welcome, I sight you Honorable

Well as regards STATEMENT OF RESULTS showing Courses, CGPA, GPA, am not sure of this, cos I haven't seen anyone use that to apply for admission to a College, but you can mail the Graduate Office , Enrollment office, international office of those colleges you want to apply to if your STATEMENT OF RESULTS can suffice for admission application owing to the nonavailability of the Student copy of your Transcript.

Another interesting thing about these colleges is this, though Transcript is an essential document for them to process an Applicant's admission, but do you know that some of the decision by the admission commitee is not always about the Transcript you submitted. Some applicants got their admissions cos they submitted some supoorting documents that' improved their Chances of admission, most especially when you have work experience, certifications, online courses etc. related to that program you are going for.

Reason why I always suggest that applicant's (HND or B.SC holders) who wants to go for a PG.Cert program in a college should add some supporting documents to their Admission Application in order to boost their Chances of getting the Admission.

WHY YOU NEED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS TO BOOST YOUR ADMISSION CHANCES FOR A PG.CERT APPLICATION

Supporting Documents
-Recommendation letter (from your boss at work, HR Manager, or lecturer, project supervisor, HOD)
-Letter of Confirmation of English Language proficiency (if available)
- Cover Letter (Very Important)
- Professional certificates
- Online Course Certification of Competition
-Résumé (Canadian Style) - Very Important

The Column for uploading Supporting Docs. is always on the ONTARIO COLLEGE APPLICATION INTERNATIONAL PORTAL PAGE

See this Scenerio,

Two third 3rd Class graduate (graduate from same school, doing same job and at same work place) applied to same course at a College in Canada (Ontario), apart from the Transcript and High school result both of them concluded on submitting, one was smarter, he told his second to do an online course etc., but he overlooked it, so the smart guy did 3-online courses and got the Certificate (merged them in 1-PDF file), he drafted a Cover Letter explaining why he would be a good fit for this PG.Cert program & also drafted a Canadian Style Resume which showcased & highlighted the Job experience that relates to the PG. Cert programs.

Boom, when they started issuing LOA (Letter of Acceptance), the second guy didn't get the admission, the one that submitted the mentioned supporting documents got the admission.

So it's safe to say that , SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS CAN BE ESSENTIAL FOR AN ADMISSION SUCCESS TO A COLLEGE IN CANADA

https://www.nairaland.com/5818588/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/50#89629360

Adding supporting documents can never be overemphasized. Not just to college applications, universities as well..

I remember when I contacted Carleton uni for a program, stating my cgpa (and last 2 yrs cgpa) cos I didn't meet the 80% overall cgpa.

Although I was told that I didn't meet up to their req, I was also advised to add up supporting documents to aid given admission (cv, certificates, rec letter , etc)....i got the offer eventually (although it took months )

There's no such thing as submitting too many documents when it comes to applying for grad programs in Canadian schools...

No leave any stone unturned!!!
