Canadian student visa thread

1Hover1:
Thank God for a successful visa application.

Biometric 6th Sept (main applicant + 2 Dependant) - Priority - Walk-in Ikeja TLS
Collection Mail Sept 13 for all 3
Picked up all three on 14th sept

Honestly, if you fill your form as truthfuy as you can, you most likely will not have any issue, it's when things don't add up on your application or across your dependants application that UKVI begins to probe further.

Also, have your money, you might not have all the money, BUT ensure you OWN a tangible percentage of the money in your account or get a loan (proper loan, not the untouchable loan to just show PoF, I'm talking of loan that you can utilise while in the UK) .
Thanks for all the help on this platform. @Justwise God bless you.

Congratulations! Wishing you the very best.

Sheryyyy:
Oh okay thanks...
By genuine loan, you mean?

NOT
Audio loan (untouchable loan) ,built account etc

Loan that will be available to you in the UK for survival

Let me say this again...you will struggle, your studies will struggle, you will not enjoy your time in the UK if you come here without money and hoping to hustle part time to pay fees, rent and bills, you will end up back in Nigeria with poor result looking for job

I insist it is your right to apply for Polish student Visa once you've paid your application, enrolment and tuition fee. It's only people who does not know their rights that think that the Polish embassy is doing them a favour. Why did you think that the Polish embassy is giving you the right to appeal after denial? It is because they know that it's your right. A guy was denied after he appealed. They gave him one more chance to appeal in Poland if he feels that his visa denials was unjust. Why do you think that they were doing that? It's because they know vividly that it's his right.

Visa is never a right, its a privilege, lets stop seeing visa application as a business contract.

Nigerians and not Polish embassy are making the appointment booking difficult

You are wrong. You can't do a second master in the UK. It doesn't show academic progression. Doing that is an attend to swindle the system. However, in his case I think he could be able to do MBA since the degree is an entirely different kind of degree. Msc to Msc is equal to NO. Mcs to MBA you can try. Though I will advise you to call the school you want to apply to, they will give you first hand information you need. Good luck.

This is not true, one can do certainly do another masters, progression is not necessarily from one level to another, it can also be at the same level but different field of study.

Bro if we wait to accumulate £20k stashed away somewhere in savings before making our moves...over 85% of us would never realize our dreams of schooling abroad..we gotta improvise with available disposable resources to realize our dreams.

Sometimes some of these schemes exist, its all about getting the right information, which is why I'm asking on this thread..

Dude you are not helping yourself… if you can’t get genuine loan then look for scholarship.

Trying to play yourself is not being smart. Enjoy the comment from people telling you that you are smart until you find yourself in the UK without money then you will not even have the courage to come back here to tell us.

Patnuel2015:
Smart one bro. I know many people who only were able to afford deposit and few pounds with when they move. They succeeded. Not everyone is Dongote son or daughter. The only thing I advise is don't choose expensive school.

Yea imaginary stories, smh

Egocen:
I have no idea of how much is in the account

should I ask?
and does it mean I add that of my brother and mine?
so how much do we need now minimum

Read first page of this thread

Egocen:
please He applied in July and traveled in August

he is in UK now

So basically the same money your brother used for his visa application is the one you want to use?

Sheryyyy:
I had savings in place, plus support from sponsor.
I'm talking about the initial deposit to be made here in Nigeria.
As I've come across lots of UK schools in the region of £1.5k - £3k...And I've got my financial plan/budget within that range...that's what I meant.

Bro sorry this still doesn’t add up, if you have savings and a sponsor then £4K deposit should be part of that.

If you are struggling to deposit 4K then how can you afford school fees, maintenance money, visa fees and flight ticket.?

To study in the UK you need about £20K or more depending on the school and location

Sheryyyy:
Hi,
I was also offered unconditional admission in Teesside University.

But my challenge is their initial deposit of £4k.
(Seems a bit on the high side, didn't envisage it to be this high).

Is there any form of Student loan available to international students to cushion tuition funding??

Please, gurus in the house.
Obtwise, justwise, hustla

Please help me understand this… before you decided to study in the UK …what was your financial plan?

@Edward1234

This thread should never be used to encourage people to break student visa rules.

Please be careful what you post here

Thank you

Eldersege:
@ Justwise and other gurus in the house, pls can I quarantine at a friend's house.

They are offeringe their place for quarantine but we are not sure if it's permitted by immigration.

Pls help o.

Yes you can

Boofrenzy:
Oga except you leaving this countryto to just go and study , inbox me and I'll tell you it's not just about 20hrs a week , reach out to people in UK, stop discouraging people it's not easy but if he's a hustler he can do it . You na only to go read book you d comot naija for bah ? All these golden spoon people. Bro just believe in yourself if US is better option for you go for it but remember from UK to US is a better option than from Nigeria to US , people with experience will tell you better , no be only book you come this world to come read oo most people going to UK will flee to other part of the world from there which ordinarily from NIgeria is not easy to .

Now this is interesting… if I recall correctly you are still in Nigeria or arrived the UK this month, so you have zero knowledge about studying and working to pay fees and bills in this country.

So who do you think that need to be educated about life in the UK? This is the problem with online platform like this…. People just type BS they have zero knowledge about.

I will educate you about surviving here for free.

jaybel:
My tuition fees is £25400 while I have paid a deposit of £1992 and my living cost is £9207. Total POF to be provided is £32,615

I have $20,000 and an additional 11 million naira. Is this okay to show as POF please?

@justwise and others, I really need a response please.

Please do the calculation, as long as the two accounts comes up to £32,615 then you are good to go

Luck800:
Yes that’s exactly what i want to know. I don’t know why you said my days are numbered. I have taken my time to read some of the comments here but not everything. I just saw the beginning and wanted to go straight to my questions.
I believe I’m not the first person to have all the required documents when applying for a visa that’s why i wanted to ask people who might have gotten their visa through the help of an agent.
Is it a no no to even try with a forged documents the agency tell you they will get for you?

Ok see you later then.

Nigerians like you are making this visa thing very difficult for genuine applicants

Boofrenzy:
If there's anything I've learnt about success is not to under estimate your strength, courage and hardwork. Determination is the key to success and there's no limit to what you can achieve . I know a person going to UK for a 19k pounds school fees , don't get me wrong this person ain't rich but she has this belief in herself and I know she'll scale through. Now if you afraid of the unknown, it's your weakness , if you believe you'll succeed. My advise believe in yourself or trust in a person.

Talk is cheap, 19K in one year working 20hrs a week? Tell that girl to learn prostitution skills because she will need it dearly to achieve that.

Nigerians are really funny..

francis00:
@justwise mine is similar to this but it's for 2years, 7500 for the first year and 7500 for the second year, I will be paying 4000 bfr leaving Nigeria and there is 1500 scholarship for me so the remaining balance is 2k pounds, and the remaining 7500 for the next year,is it possible to be able to pay it with the 20hrs a week given for students. Please answer this @ justwise

Your case is different

Luck800:
I don’t know what you mean by indirect ad. I have been on this nairaland for some time now and i hardly comment. All i wanted to know from people who know the process is if i can use just the documents i have and still get the visa. Or will the embassy surely know if the documents i tender were forged because she said she can help me get the required documents i need.
My main question is if it’s possible for an agent to arrange or the needed documents for me and i get the visa?

And yes i have asked her all this questions she said i shouldn’t worry. So those that mean i should just give her the money and not ask questions?

Basically you want to know if you will be caught if you applied with forged documents and you came here to seek reassurance? Dude your days here is numbered.

@Luck800

Ok bro no more ..my agent this my agent that, my agent helps me get this, my agent will provide all the documents..bla bla bla

Direct these questions to your agent, you are paying her and she has done it for you before.

I see your posts as an indirect ad here

Visa2022:
Hello Folks,
Please I need all the advice I can get so I don't make a costly mistake.

I recently secured an admission in Teesside University, Middlesbrough, UK.(Data Science and Analytics)..

The tuition fee I'm to pay is approximately £15k ( over 4 or 5 instalments).

Now my question is:
What are the prospects of me being able to raise this sum of money from side jobs I'd take up, considering the limited work hours permit for student visas. (£15k looks like a lot of money and I'd overstretch myself to meet up with payment).

My bro has been advising me to ignore the admission and apply to US schools next year and see if I can secure admission on scholarship ( He's currently schooling on scholarship)...

He says trying to meet up with the £15k tuition payment would wear me out and drastically affect my performance at school, which makes no sense in the long run.

Please House, what do you think?? Are there chances of raising such funds within the 1year period

Please I need all the advise I can get.
Cc: justwise

You have zero chance, listen to your brother

ucystan:
My thought exactly. I honestly hope they give me oo. Shea if i wan run i for don run since nah abi na now i wan run leave my kids? Ah...

If you are submitting your husband's bank account then do also submit evidence of his source of income because he is your sponsor.

megastu:
These are not good advice to OP.

As long as she is married, have kids that are not traveling and yu have travelled extensively you will be issued the Visa. Dont bother so much about finances. It is only a big issue for people who do not have a reliable travel history.

This is false, yes travel history counts on her side but affordability and the reason to spend that money on foreign trip matters most, if the cost of the trip is coming from her pocket then she has more solid case, if the 1.5M is 3X her husband's take-home pay do you think it makes any economic sense to spend that much under 2-3ks just to attend child christening?

ucystan:
Please why do you say so, and how else do you advice i present my suitation?

Secondly, i don't intend telling them that i am only attending the baby's Christening, i am only just putting out my suitation here.

I have also attended her graduation in UK but that was in 2008, apart from that i also schooled in US and have US visitors visa twice. I have also been to Canada too, plus i have 2kids (5 and 3 years) that won't be going with me.

So with all these travel history and tie to Nigerian do u still think i still don't stand a chance?

This additional info may account on your favour

ucystan:
Please why do you say so, and how else do you advice i present my suitation?

Your reason for the trip and your inability to finance the trip.

The cost of this trip is not coming from you and attending your sister's child christening is not a strong reason to spend such amount of money.

iiiyyyk:
Good day justwise and others

Please, does a student dependent spouse need Police clearance { criminal record check} if the said dependent is a health professional. ?

applying for student dependent Visa.

thanks.

No you don't need one.

ucystan:
Hello,

Pls i need help. I work in a school with 107k as salary which i use all every month, asin my account goes down to 0.00 every month (even before the month ends) but my hubby wants to sponsor me with about 1.5M, and he intend transferring this money into my account. My question is now what bank statements am i to show? Do i need to also submit hubby's statement with mine even though he has transferred the money into my account or do i submit only his payslips and my bank statement. Pls what documents do i need to submit in other to show/suggest he is my sponsor?

ucystan:
Oh thank you so much for this reply. So my sister is actually the one inviting me and she just told me now that she doesn't mind standing in as a sponsor too since she has every qualifying document with a closing balance of £8k, but at the same time i dont want to submit my account statement empty, so i am thinking of reducing the money hubby will transfer to 600k or 700k for flight since she will be providing accomodation and feeding. I also don't intend shopping because i am only attending her baby's Christening . At the same time i wouldn't want to add/submit my hubby's statement of account bcus he is running on some loans and wouldn't look nice.

I will be surprised if you are given a visa

Brownie1003:
I recently had a newborn in July who came after we got our visas (spouse+daughter). The Pof for the child is in the dad's acct which I intend to use to apply. Am I good to go? Please advise ooo.

You mean to apply for the new born baby?

fabulous2019:
Good day house
I just got my CAS from Swansea university, I want to complete the VISA form this weekend, so I would go to bank and get my statement on Monday and submit my application on Monday, then move to embassy on Tuesday probably first flight
Please experienced gurus I need your assistance, I want to try to fill it very accurately so I don't get any delay like non straight forward mail, my hubby was ban from Canada for 5 years 2015 , for wrong information on school, address and work experience and he applied with me then but the ban is over now, how can i declare vividly to avoid delays and declare for me and himself, because he his coming with me as dependent
Also how can I get fast appointment so I don't pay for walk in, what are major issues I can face, am planning Abuja office.thanks

Is this for October or January admission?

Peacecharles:
Good evening all.please I need an expert that can go through a refusal letter and suggest a possible solution.you can email me on this.peacecharles1122@gmail.com.its urgent!

Cover your name and application Ref number and post the refusal letter here

Punkydude:
@Justwise will say otherwise, but in my opinion, dont mention her in anyway, nor any body for that matter. Use the university address as the place you will stay or just book an AirBnB and provide details. When you get over there you can sort yourself. You are not even related so why stress yourself.

If you ever say that you will be staying with anybody in the UK, your application will be flagged and you might be called for interview.

Believe you me you dont want that interview.

Ok enough of this deliberate attempt to mislead people here, we have debated/argued this but you still insist on this.

Peacecharles:
@justwise please I need to confirm lots of things from you.thanks

Please go ahead and ask your question here
