Please as regards to schedule 1 imm 5257. We are trying to upload the imm5257e form but is saying error, then we downloaded the one from her page and it is 5257b. Can the imm 5257b be used? as that one was last updated in 2018 while 5357e is 2019.

Pls we need clarification.

Thanks

The information on your statement of purpose should be private to you. It is better to contact any of the gurus privately to help review this for you than posting publicly here. I would have loved to help but may not give that quality time to review your work due to lots of coursework in school.

You have made some reasonable effort but can be improved upon as noted below;

(1) Grammarly is a handy software tool that can help to polish your statement of purpose much better and even scan for text and grammatical mistakes that you might not even notice. Google Grammarly and read more about it.

(2) Brief History of Yourself -Highlight critical accomplishments in your workplace that relate to mobile work development and perhaps promotions, if any, in your present job.

(3) Proof of Funds See the bolded under the proof of funds - Reg flag! Again, don't give the VO the impression you intend to resign.

These are the three I spotted based on my glance; you would need to liaise with any of the gurus to help you review this. Please don't post your SOP publicly here again.

All the best.

Please as said by others, you're not supposed to make it public. Should have written to gurus for review. Kindly check for plagiarism before you submit this. As you have made it public, many who are already about to submit may copy you to edit theirs and submit. Then it becomes that you plagiarized them. Lol.

Yes kindly use Grammerly as said. It will surely help you out. Pls delete it before many eyes will see it.

Please how does this 3rd party flywire work. I have seen people complaining about flywire rates, surprisingly it seems flywire payment could also be routed through form A.
Kindly explain how this works.

I shared it yesterday. Please kindly read up to yesterday chat, you will we see it.

Thanks.

Please all, I want to know if it is listed that must apply with unconditional offer. A buddy got a mail from his academic advisor as attached. Kindly assist. This made him miss the May 15th deadline as he was waiting for transcript to reach the school.

Lovesarrow:
Please guys any successful payments with stanbic recently. They have had my instructions since monday or which faster bank can i use for form A?

Yes. A friend paid using stanbicIBTC through 3rd party flywire. It lasted a week and nothing happened. She now has to top up the money in the account and she was debited the next day, and the money got to the school same day. So reason for her own delay was that she did put money in the account based on CAD336.65 conversation rate that she was told at the bank, but was charged CAD342.Bleep based on debit. Hope that guides you.

Somebody asked how to pay tuition fee from flywire generated transfer wire details for school through Form A. Sorry I couldn't locate it.

Have gotten the information and is as follow:

Step 1: Download flywire app and create account, putting your details.

Step 2: click on new payment on the app

Step 3: select your institution

Step 4: select institution Tuition and fees, then click on start payment

Step 5: select from there the payment will come from( in this case Nigeria or where it will come from), put the amount to be paid and click next

Step 6: you will see following options; online bank Transfer and Debit/credit, don't select them, instead click on I want to pay in another currency.

Step 7: select international bank transfer in Canada( service fee will be charged) or the the currency you want to use pay.

Step 8: put in your details and click next.

Step 9: put your university admission details, and click next.

Step 10: Peruse through the informations filled and ensure that all is correct before proceeding.

When you now do all that, a payment ID and wire transfer details will be created a d send to you, which you will now use to go to bank and fill in the details in form A.

Then wait for debit from your account, once your account is debited, it will be credited into flywire account, who will now send your money to your bank.

Please the payment ID is important, ensure that bank uses it when filling the form.

They day the money was from her account, flywire was debited and it was sent to the school same day.

Hope this will help.

Thanks

Thanks Shugaban

With a 2.2 in History, the PGD/PG.CERT program that came to my mind is JOURNALISM.

Your sister needs to be Creative & do some packaging to possibly get an admission, cos she would need to connect her First degree (History) with another degree (Journalism). A Cover Letter might be very essential as a supporting document for her admission application cos the school would most likely make a decision based on her HISTORY DEGREE TRANSCRIPT, that been said a COVER LETTER might just be a game changer for her. The essence of this Cover letter is to show the admission committee that she's gonna be a good fit for the program despite being an History Graduate.

See the link below for a
COVER LETTER SAMPLE FOR POST GRADUATE ADMISSION IN A CANADIAN COLLEGE attachment (in blue colour)

https://www.nairaland.com/5818588/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/414#95068409

Reason why am suggesting she should go for a PG. Cert in Journalism is because this could make him have a Career Prospects/Future Goals in INTERNATIONAL & HISTORICAL JOURNALISM

Why did I say so,

with a Bachelor's degree in History , pursing a PG. Cert in Journalism means,

- She can be concerned with human rights and issues relating to war and peace, and he might be looking for the opportunity to develop the journalistic skills necessary to communicate this to a wider public.

- She can have the opportunity to undertake the academic analysis of a range of critical approaches to the study of war and the media, journalism and conflict resolution and journalism and international human rights.

- Journalism offers several specializations, including business, art, politics, and news. A background in history would give her perspectives on a variety of topics, which can help her draw comparisons to current trends and issues. A history degree also develops the research and writing skills she need to effectively write for journals, newspapers, magazines, and blogs.

These are just tips & possible Reasons for her to study a PG. Cert in Journalism, despite having an History Degree. She can do more research on Google to see how History relates with Journalism cos she's gonna be talking seriously about the above on her SOP (to convince a VISA OFFICER) when she wanna apply for her study visa

Sequel to that,
your Sister should do a thorough research (google) on the following PG. Cert in Journalism programs in Canadian Colleges & check their Admission, Tuition amount for international students, course outlines etc.

- PG. Cert in Journalism & Communication
Holland College, Prince Edward Island

About the exclusion of BC & Ontario as her province to study, she should check the tuition of each schools to determine that so she can know the one's within her budget

That bin said, Financial Readiness is very essential if she wanna study in Canada

Await more inputs to your enquiry

Thanks my chair. Will relate to he accordingly. Thanks alot

You're really doing good sir. Please someone wants to PGD, she read history and hd 2.2. please kindly help with courses she can go for. She doesn't wants schools in Ontario nd BC, but other province cos of Tuition rate and living expenses.

Teeprecious:
Can u kindly shed more light on this?
How does one generate the wire transfer details of the school. The rates are outrageous. Kindly put me through pls.

I will. Don't know but have asked her. Will revert back to you when I get the process.

Anon123:
Did you indicate the student number and chose name of school while making this payment. Flywire rate is more expensive than bank or black market but 100% secured

Yes, paying through flywire using ones card is damn expensive, but there was an option to create a flywire wire transfer details, then go to bank and fill the form, inputting all those details in the form A. Now she has done it and is waiting for debit to be sure everything went well.

Note: paying through flywire using ATM and going to bank with the generated wire transfer details for the school and paying with form A, the difference was more than 600k. So that's why opted for flywire through bank form A

hoodboy:
It’s the same thing I did as well

Please when it reflects kindly update so that she can calm down.lol

hoodboy:
Submitted form A to access bank last week Wednesday, they’re still processing

Yes. In her case, is through a 3rd party flywire and not directly to the school as they school only pay tuition through flywire

Blaze123456:
Me I did but to university of Regina Saskatchewan

How did it go,as it is through a third party? payment was initiated by her over a week now, still no debit from her end (stanbic ibtc is her bank). Jst want to know if all is well so that I can relate back.

Goodmoring all. Hope we are all doing good. Tuesday is here, and I Know PPR will rain today. Waiting to see it has dropped oo, let me catch my breathe first, I will update later. Lol �. Wishing us all the best.

Again, Please who has paid Tuition fee to University of Saskatchewan using form A through flywire generated wire transfer account details? Someone is in need of how it works. Thanks all.

This was my convo with him

Hello my fellow applicants.

Sorry about the lenghty post

I just want to chip in on this use of dealing with somebody you don't know to either help you in one financial help or the other. Or act as your agent. I know opinion may not be relevant, but is for those that really wants to know.

In 2020, I started my Canada study plans. I began by buying a book to record all my researches. YES I BOUGHT A BOOK FOR IT. Am they type don't believe that I cant do it. Even if I can't, I must try. To the point, I have a book about all the province in Canada, how many colleges and universities in each province, and also all the towns in each province lol � �. Until i narrowed it down to the universities I want to apply (based on cost and fast,easy immigration plans).

After that I went to study Permit process. I started with Canavisa forum, cos I didn't know then that this group existed. I had 32 gig phone, almost 5gig was screenshot of relevant info I think I may need and stored for reference when I will need them. The only info I don't get from Canadavisa forum was it will hard that get master's with 2.2, but thank God I got lucky at the last minute, i scaled through and got one.

Now when it was time for study permit, behold I came across this group when I was thinking how can a whole Nigeria not have forum for study in Canada. I found this group and boom I started my usual screenshots from the beginning. Bombarded gurus with questions and they really came to my rescue.

But then It baffled me, I met an applicant like me, we exchanged pleasantries and he is using agent. I was shocked when they Applicant knows nothing regarding Canada study permit. I mentioned upfront, for wia no idea. I mentioned NSE, for wia. No idea. All he knows was biometrics, the one he did in lekki. Tell me, why won't an agent mess him or her up, when he or she has no idea of the program (study permit) he or she just applied. My point here is, as an applicant, please is important you know all these things, so that you know when an agents tells you something contrary to what is obtainable and as well not let the useless agents hand you 5year ban on a platter of gold.

On the issue of who will help you pay tuition fee, application fee. That same guy dt wanted scam Rootiab, chatted me when I was asking questions about form A and how to go about it paying tuition. He came with promise to help me pay, I laughed and told him form A will help me pay it. If form A won't, then I will ask my relatives in Canada. So I don't need him. He never disturbed me again.

So point here is, please we have form A, make use of it for Tuition fees. Then for applications, cos of this, I had to go and open
a domiciliary account, went to aboki to exchanged at 478/dollar. Paid it into the dorm account. Mind you I have relative in Canada, but mehn I want to be sure that I did everything myself. Most of us did MMM and lost millions and didn't cry, not be to exchange dollar at 478 with aboki that will kill me for just one time payment.

In summary, let's try to do all these things by ourselves but if an agent must do it for you, please have knowledge of the whole process. cos most of all this agents are messing things up for us. As well as those yeye brothers who wants to dupe us, na God go judge una. Is only in situation that you know you can't do without the help of someone that you can gamble it. Like I recently did gamble one with a good fellow I met here, but let it be finance that you can get over with or let it not be what that can land you almighty 5year ban.

That's my own intake.

Please @ guru frank, still waiting for your final email review before I hit the summit buttons �. We all shall smile to Canada in no distant time.

Please is it advisable to apply with conditional offer. The offer letter jst came after application was done in October with condition to send transcript. As we all know, IRCC said something of May 15th to be able to get decision on or before Aug 6th.

Now the person wants to apply for permit. Write in the SOP that she has initiated the transcript to be sent to the school, attaching proof of payment and if possible tracking details, staying that she will upload the confirmation of unconditional offer once the school recieve the transcripts.

Please is this advisable as she wants to meet up with 15th may benchmark.

Thanks

Good day guys, I have medicals at Qlife. so I want to know if I need to print(photocopy)all those requirements listed in the "requirements needed", or can evidence of them in my phone serve? I will go with original passport

Rootiab:
Who has ever used fcmb or zenith bank for form A before?. It's urgent

Pls don't even try Zenith bank. They told me it will take a month. I waited for a week nothing happened, had to write to them to stop the process.now went to stanbic and saw a lady that her own took just 48hrs. The customers care told me almost a week, it will go through.

Don't know about fcmb

Sorry for the irrelevant question, but who has an idea the cost of Tuition at University of saskatchewan? The tution per year am seeing at the school site seems to be small.

marcelonwa:
Yeah you right
If there has been big deposits all along, maybe they wouldn’t have flagged the acc

Yes I think so. If the account is used to huge deposit, it won't raise a red flag. But when out of nowhere boom a huge deposit is made when days and months before and after it, no huge deposit ever was done. It raises dust without proper justification

Tim4humanity:
Hello Everyone, I received the order for my gcms notes yesterday. I Will explain about myself in details related to this application, If you have any advice or recommendations you can help me I'll be glad so this can make my future application successful.

1. I graduated with Bsc in Information Technology from Bluecrest college Ghana. I am currently a graphic designer, I do this as a freelancer just to keep myself busy but I have the desire to be a data scientist in future, furthermore, I chose to Study a Post Graduate diploma in Data analysis at Langara College my reasons being, it's a 2 years course with and extra work term (5 semesters) which in turn gives me enough time to garner some good work experience while in school and on the other hand I will have a 3 years pgwp after graduation so I considered this a win-win for me despite choosing a PG Diploma instead of an MSc, all Msc in Data science I've researched so far are either just one year with no work experience or the tuition fees is out of my budget or both.

2. The second point about my finances is that the lump sum was paid into an estate account by the federal government of Nigeria, the account is overseen by me and my sister. The money was paid as retirement benefits for their workers who are deceased (my mother), my mother was a staff of the former energy company NEPA which was previously owned by the federal government of Nigeria. Although I did not specify this information in my SOP in my last application. Please immigration experts et all, your recommendations are welcomed, moving forward what would you advice me to do to make my next application successful ?

Thank you very much.

The VO isn't convinced that the money is yours as it was deposited just day or days before account statement was printed. You made it easy for they VO to conclude that they money isn't yours by not explaining the money deposit in you SOP. So is always important to explain huge sums deposited that runs into millions and back it up with proof of source of the money. But then did you submit any assets in your name during your application? What economical and financial assets do you have.

My little opinion though. Gurus will help out the more.

Anon123:
Good day, I can be of assistance. I sell at #405 as well as facilitate payments for either tuition, application or visa fee.

Is the rate in US$ or CAD$

olasubomy:
The elders in the house may have a better approach but this is what I think. You can submit your application but attach the evidence you have i.e( a clear copy of the signed and stamped banker's instruction letter) or/ and other evidence you have that you have initiated the transaction for your tuition fee. Attach this document to the Letter of Acceptance section of your application with your admission letter then state clearly in your statement of purpose that you have initiated the payment of your tuition fees on ............( quote the amount paid, date and bank) but that this has not been charged to your account as at the date of submission of your application so you have attached a copy of the banker's instruction in the letter of acceptance section of your application or any other evidence you have which you have attached.

Once the transaction with the bank is finalized, please be ready to send to IRCC via webform your tuition fee receipt, a copy of mybank statement certificate ( 1 year preferably) and back it up with an official letter that you are forwarding this in addition to your submitted application as evidence of payment of your tuition fee and you can reference in the letter the date your account was debited. IRCC would always do their confirmation with your school and the bank so it's fine.

I think that should settle it and hopefully Zenith stick to their 3 weeks timeline.

All the best.

Ok. Thanks so much. I think this is a better option for than than withdrawing the ZENITH transaction. because maybe they are about to initiate debite and I now put a stop.

Am so grateful. So insightful.

ooa1st:
I might sound pessimistic but i feel initiating a FORM A with Zenith is a no brainer.

I had my fair share of experience when i had the privilege to pick btw First bank with a week payment with a little higher rate and Zenith with unknown payment date with lower rate.

Mumu me picked zenith, 1 month and Zenith never did the transaction, i had to retire the transaction and go for the First bank option i initially left, by the time i activated the First bank offer, i had to pay 14 CAD more on each CAD i purchased.... I cried faya.

So i would advise, look for other banks.. I will recommend UBA, GTB, FIRST, FCM and Stanbic.

Thanks

Thanks. So I can put a stop to the ZENITH bank own then do with other banks that you mentioned?

Thanks alot. The banks wants to give me high bp without network for almost 2 weeks
