Hi , Today made it 2 weeks since I joined this Thread And so far it's been Awesome , I have been able to learn about things that I didn't know before , I want to say a big Thank you to everyone. Your Questions and Answers , contributions and everything .

That being said , I'm still on the Journey to getting information and getting ready , It's a D.I.Y thing for me .

Please ,

1.Can anyone be kind enough to help with a sample of Statement of Purpose And CV , I'm going to go through them and use them as a guide while I prepare mine. Here is my email (agbonifokelly@gmail.com)

2. How will I be able to pay for my Application fees ? I understand our Naira Debit card doesn't work ?

3. I have a Joint and a Fixed Deposit Account ( They're together) With my Father , Inside the account contains all the money I need to show for POF , pay for my Full year tuition fee and etc .

The fixed Deposit contract with the Bank expires later in February 2023 , After February I'll then be able to have 100 Percent acess to the fund. I'm rooting to be part of the intake for the fall Entry of 2023.

I understand I can't use the Fixed Deposit Account for my student visa Application but I have a Question. When the contracts Expires in February 2023 , Can I push the money Into my own Personal Account , Then use the money as POF . I UNDERSTAND it will pop up as Lump-sum , but can I use the LOE to Explain How come the Lump-sum ? (This should include where the money came from by providing F.D documents to show that all these time the money has been in a fixed deposit Account that I opened with my Father )

Or Simply,

When it expires in February 2023 , Should I just remove my Dad's name from the Account , Then show document to proof that my Dad doesn't have access to the account Anymore.

N.B → I'm a fresh Graduate with No work experience


Please I'll really Appreciate the Response

Hello KellyTech007,

It seems you already have everything figured out. Nice one. There is no need to remove your father's name as a signatory to the account. Leave it be.

As a recent graduate, having your father as a sponsor in your application gives convincing assurance to the officer that funds will be readily available given the presence of his historic income source(s).

Owing that you and your dad are authorized signatories to the account, he can be the sole sponsor (preferably) or be a cosponsor of the study with you. Get a domiciliary card to initiate the application fee payment.

In anything you do, tie your economic prospect to your father's income source(s) and try to establish the fact that being a board member and intrapreneur in your father's organization paved way for you to become an authorized signatory and investment partner.

The fixing and liquidation certificates coupled with an LOE are enough justification to help the officer trace the history of the funds into the account to be used for the application.

@makano @frankrobnn @lekiboboe @bullstriker @gigdraft @justmellow @ketima @technix and all

Please I currently hold a masters degree from a university in Asia...

My aim now is to apply for a college admission in canada while I also create a stance in the express entry pool..

Although, I might return to nigeria for biometrics after I get a college admission...

Do you think that having a masters degree already would affect the VO's decision on my visa application?

Do I have to declare on my application that I already have a masters degree?

Hello Koreanlord,

The situation of language barriers in the Asia education system can be leveraged to your advantage, as what motivated a follow-up study in a program that can augment the previously attained degree and knowledge with Canada's practice-based and industry teachings.

Demonstrate the aspect of the learning that would be covered by the proposed study that the previous Master's study curriculum didn't expatiate on.

Break down the features of both programs and outline their industry differences, features, and significance to help the officer understand the study progression.

Preferably, a second Master's will be more competitive than a Postgraduate Diploma if a Ph.D. is not the goal. If you can lay technical emphasis on why a P. Diploma is industry-tailored to help you achieve your economic vision than a Master's, then it can be considered.

It will strongly be required for you to meet other requirements, especially your immigration status in your CoR, home ties, and funds. Even if you have valid resident status, it would improve your chances more applying from your home country.

At either level, ensure to opt for a closely related study. You can use your transcript to peruse which course that was taken before can be pursued as independent learning.

In a nutshell, going for a study that does not demonstrate progression exposes an application to rigorous scrutiny for the genuineness to study in Canada. Whether or not to declare your second degree is at your sole discretion.

It is ideal not to hide the fact from the officer given your situation.

OmaleIsaac4:
Hello
please after paying tuition fee via flywire to the university of saskatchewan and receipt is issued from flywire, is there any need to demand for a receipt from the school again before applying for VISA.

Hello OmaleIsaac4,

Time in the Canadian study permit route is very important due to the long processing finalization. It is not a red flag nor will it discredit the genuineness of your tuition payment. You can use it without any consequences. Merge and upload the flywire receipt together with the LOA in the specified placeholder. You can always forward to IRCC the receipt from your DLI upon issuance.

Elisheva1:


Thank you for the response.My spouse is my sponsor and his company's account with 50m balance was used as proof of funds, Application submitted was for I, spouse and two kids.My school fees is around 8KCAD.

Hello Elisheva1,

I am not sure if the originating post regarding the loan is from you. If it is, having about NGN 50m as available funds and proceeding to take a study loan to demonstrate funds availability is not an ideal financial demonstration strategy. It could reduce your chances.

It will make better sense to pay your tuition from the demonstrated available funds. Then update IRCC with the receipt and a savings bank record to complement the corporate.

Kolajero:


I submitted my family applications on August 2, 2022, with the upfront medical we did on July 19, 2022. However, only the medical of my one-year-old daughter has so far been updated passed which they did since August 11, 2022. Eligibility review yet to start for any of us.

Hello Kolajero,

The medical updating on the online account is resulting from IRCC's delay, which has become a norm that may be experienced by applicants that submitted a requested document, upfront medicals, and/or biometrics. On some occasions, it may not change until a while or even at the time of PPR. This routine of IRCC has panicked applicants of something being wrong with their applications when nothing is.

MumTee:
who decides which one is withdrawn? IRCC or the Applicant? Or would IRCC write to you to ask which is your preference in the case they receive a work permit application then a study visa application some months down the line from the same applicant?
@justwise @technix @goingforward @justmellow and other gurus in the house please respond

Hello MumTee,

IRCC will not send any notification. The most recent application in processing will be finalized. On a side note, either a work permit or study permit can be approved along with a visitor's visa.

gaeul:
Good Day House, please, if the principal applicant is already in Canada and have enrolled for courses for a year. Does the spouse need to submit proof of fund too for the principal applicant or just for the spouse and the kids?

Hello Gaeul,

There is now a change in the situation, and the officer will want to see enough funds that will cover the family, including OP. Funds availability is a strong requirement that must be met in the TRV category.

The best way to show funds for the family (when applying for the SOWP/VV) is by showing the LE/ME in OP's Canadian bank account while using the spouse's bank record to also give further financial support and show the spouse's financial stability in the home country.

Good Afternoon Everyone,


My application was submitted on April 6th and I just received my BVL and PPR today. I will be dropping my timeline and documents submitted before the week runs out.

I have a question which I would appreciate the forum’s response to. I already commenced admission deferral procedures to Fall 2023. Now that IRCC has approved my visa application, do I need to inform IRCC of my deferral?

Hello Slayxo,

Big congratulations on your victory. You don't need to notify IRCC. The same also applies if an initial course is changed. It is only mandated if a change of DLI was considered. Thus, it is your responsibility to enter Canada prior before the visa vignette appended to the passport expires.


Prosper!

Admirabellebnf:
Hello,

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this but I hope someone can advise me correctly please.

The DOB on my brother's passport is wrong while the one on the WAEC is correct. However, he wants to use his waec and passport for Canadian visa application now. How can he correct the one on the passport,please. He is in Dubai and can't travel to Nigeria now.

He was advised to do affidavit that the dob on his waec is wrong but I have second thoughts to avoid issues later.

Hello Admirabellebnf,

An affidavit of age correction can be sworn (by either parent) to affirm the accurate age and back the passport information. Due to the person's inability to come down to rectify the issue, the WAEC certificate can be excluded. It is not a mandatory supporting document. Then again, it's there on the birth certificate. You could consider using the affidavit option for now. The correction can be done before any subsequent use.

Ebite2000:
Hello Gurus in the space, thank you for the information you put out here. A quick one, Ircc requested for addtional information which I submitted on the 28th of last month, and my status changed to " we are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements". Today I got an update "we are reviewing the additional docs you provided". I will like to know if it still takes time after this stage because the fare prices are up the roof and would want to book a space. Thanks in advance.

Hello Ebite2000,

There is no definite timeline at this stage, and depending on the time the additional document is reviewed completely. It could take a shorter while or tarry for a while longer. One thing stands, your application is not sitting idle. Do not book a flight without receiving a decision letter from IRCC.

Hello Justmellow,
I did an upfront medicals but on 22nd of July was sent medical request letter which I replied with emails of my e-medical slip and it was updated passed.

God help us all.

Your's will surely come too, just keep hoping for the best. It will soon become a history story you happily tell.

ademma2022:
thank you justMellow for your response, it really means alot, one question i have is again does having a canadian visa and returning back to your country have any advantage for future application to further education?

Hello Ademma2022,

A Canadian travel experience gives no advantage that guarantees positive finalization, especially if the study permit requirements are not met. But meeting the requirements enables the travel experience to place the application at an advantage.

Hello house, please I need your best advice on what to do about my passport. The issue is the first name on my passport is in place of my middle name and my middle name in place of my first name.
I want to know if a high court affidavit can be used to explain that.
Please anyone that has experienced this type of issue should help.

This will not pose any threat even without a court affidavit IF the names appear consistently in your academic documents and government-issued identity and/or certificate. However, there is no harm including an affidavit.

Zbk001:
Good morning friends;

Pls FOR MPOWER LOAN: after all factors have been considered, do I have to have specific amount of cash in my account to be fully eligible.

I appreciate ur contribution

Hello Zbk001,

Having a Mpower study loan is no ground for the IRCC financial requirements to be waived, though the required funds to show should be enough after tuition (already handled by MPower) and that can cater to the LE.

Another area critically assessed by the officer is the inflows, which may be a factor in the assessment of the means the loan would be paid back without causing future indebtedness. Your employment and level of economic establishment should be reliable.

Allowing the MPower study loan to carry the full weight of showing financial availability for the study, would not be appropriate and enough to show proof of funds sufficiency and good economic standing.

ademma2022:
Good morning house, the company i work for is willing to sponsor my education in canada fully, the deal is for me to get a certificate program for 1 year and return back to work for them for a few year as they are opening a new branch in 18months time and they would like me to be part of the opening team, my Question here is
1. Do you guys thinks it a good deal for me to for a year course and come to NIgeria?
2. What document do i need to support my claim for study visa application?
please i really need advice as to enable me make a life changing decision

Hello Ademma2022,

A company sponsorship would be ideal if the full tuition can be paid and the LE transferred to you as a commitment demonstration. A one-year study is well in place for company sponsorship, to allow a participating staff to acquire the required workplace knowledge through the study intent.

In the absence of financial commitment from the company, it would be best to patronize an individual sponsorship. The crucial documents you will need from the company are:

• Source of income proof;
• POF;
• Board resolution – agreeing to the sponsorship and authorization of the funds to be disbursed for the sponsorship intent;
• Evidence of the new office creation (if applicable);
• Office Publication announcing the opportunity (if applicable);
• Others.

Hello NL’s

I’m trying to order my GCMS notes using GCMSWRITERS but the process is confusing. I have paid the fee and placed an order. Isn’t my application number necessary for acquiring my GCMS notes? But there is no provision for this on their website. All it says is send consent form to their email. Please help !

Thanks

Hello Miimssss,

Sorry to hear about your experience. Since you already made the payment, the consent form will be sent to the email assigned to your payment information. Check your email, you will find the consent form and instructions on how to fill out the form. The instructions give guidelines on how to provide your Application Number, etc. If you need further assistance, chat on IG/Twitter: GCMSWriters or reach me through my Nairaland signature.

Morenikeji25:
This is my gcms note that I got today can anyone interpret?

I used my dad's company account he is the owner
The balance there was 8m I also used his savings account with a balance of 5m
My course is biochemistry for four years and I'm an undergraduate 19 years
Any guru who knows the interpretation please?

Hello Morenikeji25,

Using a corporate account as the primary POF is not advisable, especially for a third-party sponsorship. Even for parent sponsorship, when using a corporate bank account, it is wise to include a board resolution recognising the sole authority and unrestricted access to the company funds to undergo such sponsorship venture.

The combined total of both the corporate and savings bank account presented is not sufficient funds to undergo a UG study in Canada. Due to the study length and cost of an undergraduate study, the officer would want to see more funds sufficient enough to show the available funds for the payment of your first-year tuition and demonstration for the successive years.

If your father can work on his funds to about N15m upward, in his savings account, with healthy inflows, and aside from the first year or two-year tuition that is wise to be paid before re-applying, demonstrating funds availability for your study will be easy and improve your application's competitiveness. Do well to also demonstrate justifiable home ties that can compel your return.
