giftedchild009:Hello gifted child, What I think VO's look at for I either career progression and/or academic progression. Do not choose a course based on cost, but should be based on progression(academically or professionally). Any course you're choosing and when writing your SOP,at first, try to be the VO of your application and ask yourself, how can I prove to a VO who is not seeing me that I'm genuinely going for his course for a particular progression pathway. Also, after writing the sop, ask yourself if what you have written is eye catching and have you explained to the vo critically why you have chosen that course. Try to create and answer all what if and what if not that VO's might think when looking at your application. Now as regards your course PGD, you already have a degree, with 5 years of experience. Now, what level of grade did you come out with ( I mean 1st class, 2.1 or 2.2)? If 2.2, then PGD is your best bet, otherwise consider masters with funding if money will b an issue. But it doesn't mean a 1st class or 2.1 or even a master degree holder can't for for PGD. Many have and were successful. But in all, you must prove to the VO They that the choice of program and course is your best bet. As for microfinance banks SOA. I have read if not here or somewhere that they really feel not too convinced with microfinance SOA or what have you from any microfinance( I can't verify that, so I stand to be corrected). So I would advise, if you're to use it as I have seen many use it here though and succeeded, try to back it up with concrete duly sighed and stamped letters from the body to show genuine existence of such funds. Again fixed deposite can serve but proper documents must accompany it. My thoughts though. All the best 1 Like |

Onaya:Hello Onaya. Sorry for your refusal. I don't know how closely have established rapour with your sponsor? I would advise you inform him or her of the outcome, beg him or her to write a heart compelling letter to IRCC informing them of importance of your your study and the need to approve your study, citing that you have fully funded scholarship from the department and TA as well. Attach it to your new application. But then, get your note and see what is the VO main comment. 3 Likes |

Hubmon360:I think you proved to the VO that the money would be available for the study. But the vo is concerned on the sufficiency of the fund. My thoughts though Now when you look at the total cost of your stay and study in Canada in ratio to the money shown, maybe what will be left of the balance won't be much again. This i think may have made the vo to ask him or herself what's the essence of spending most if not almost all the funds in your account just for study. So are you self sponsored or you're using a sposnor? |

oshinrizle:Yes. That correct. I was only tasking him to search and see if he/can get an Advanced Diploma in his course area. Where it is not possible, Diploma is best bet. |

kponkedenge:For study permit VO has time to write to your employer to confirm the authenticity of the job you stated as they do in PNP or EE application. But it will not be wise to quite jobs that can't be proved with legit employment letter and SOA. Sometimes VO might ask you to submit SOA to be ascertain if you're really in a paid job or you made it up(thinking out loud though). So please for your own good, be truthful. Everything we quote in our applications must be backed up with documented proof. 3 Likes |

themankelechi:Documents advised to be notarized are, sponsor's letter of sponsorship, sponsorship declaration, gift deeds. Etc ( That's if you're using sponsor or someone gifted you something. Outside that, you don't need to notarize anything. But if you choose to notarize them, is still good. Note that I used advised and bolded it cos is not mandatory to even use a notary lawyer for your documents as it can still be done at state high court's (affidavits). Notarizing documents is costlier than affidavits at courts but carries more weight( as we were made to understand) than affidavit. |

themankelechi:For some documents, you just need a scanned copy of the originals for upload. While some documents that needs to be legalized, will be notarized. Note that you don't need to notarize your credentials(certificates) as done for Germany study Visa (if I'm not mistaken) 1 Like |

Audrey1111:No one knows the time eligibility review takes. Some takes hrs, some days while some takes weeks and months. Just know that your application is under review by a VO. Just be praying for favorable outcome. If may ask, have you passed medicals? If yes, was it upfront or requested? |

Kessy72:Hello Kessy, Some schools even the college of north Atlantic said in their site that requirements for advanced Diploma is an university/college diploma or certificate. But I think some schools accept WAEC for direct Advanced Diploma (I stand to be corrected)( those with practical experience can help out here). That your course in CNA is just an Ordinary Diploma, so I would suggest you make thorough search to find out if all colleges require a college diploma or certificate to able to go for advanced Diploma. Reason being that, when you're sure of this, you can be able to use it to convince the VO as to why Ordinary Diploma is your best bet. Thanks. 1 Like 1 Share |

Kessy72:Hello Kessy, I would recommend Advanced Diploma instead of just ordinary Diploma. As for PPR, is all about how beautifully convincing your application is that is backed up with grace of God. Nothing is impossible with God. Even people with Bsc that went for ordinary diploma got PPR. 1 Like 1 Share |

joyenaholo11:The next step is to send her passport for stamping which should be in the next 30days. Since she is going for 2year course and her passport has only 1year validity left, she should have initiated the renewal long before now. Nevertheless, if she can get it renewed in days fine, she will just get it and send to IRCC by mail nd webform, before sending the new one for stamping. But if she can't, she can still send it like that for stamping. There is always room for permit extension which she can do over there when she renews her passport as they can't stamp more than the expiration of her passport. 2 Likes |

Jumax28:Yes. Is even better as from the onset, the account didn't show much fund. Now the question is, is the money short of what was submitted or more than at the moment. Either way, so long as you submitted it initially, please include it this time as VO requested for MBS. As VO didn't specify which account to submit MBS, so submit all. |

efizyhenchmen:Hello Efizyhenchmen, I think a IRCC phisican has viewed your medicals but needed another medial review to confirm something before assessing passed. When I did mine far back at Qlife, I encountered a lady who came back cos her X-ray wasn't done properly. Even mine that day was done twice before the lady asked me to come down that is ok now. So i don't think is will be a big deal ok. |

Jumax28:First question is when a specific visa office request for mybankstatement ticket what is the way forward? Answer: The way forward is to send what was requested. In this case, you have to send the MBS for all the account you used/submitted as your POF For the second question, if they salary account was part of the SOA that was submitted, you will have to submit an MBS for it too. Leaving it out even if you're being sponsored, VO might interpret the intentional act, making him or her think you avoided submitting it maybe because they funds submitted isn't there anymore. So please as regards what your agents told you, I'm not in support of that as the VO maybe is trying to assertain if the money you used in your POF is still intact or have you returned it back to the owner. So please if the money is intact but just that you have stopped working and earning salary, just attached an LOE, explaining you lost your job within this period. Attach the redundancy letter as well. But then, If you're idle within that period, you can try to justify that you're not idle per say but busy with trainings or voluntary unpaid jobs. But in all honesty, try to be truthful in your reply. Just my humble opinion though. 1 Like |

FYI all, Don't know if Canada is blowing it out of proportion as most western countries do when it comes to matters affecting Africa. But if you're traveling to CA through Ethiopia, I guess you may need keep in touch with your airlines. And If you haven't booked yet but want to book Ethiopian airline, guess you have to call them first to get assurance that all is good and ok Thanks. 2 Likes
