Hello house and good morning to us all. I know we are all having great day.


Please, who has an idea of CBN exchange rate for tuition payment using form A? or does it vary? About going for that, need to know if Banks have their different rates so I know the preferable one to use.

Thanks.

Anon123:
You are right...

College certificate.. @Ketima, was this what you chose on your IMM FORM. If no, then na there the denial came from

@Anon123, I haven't submitted yet. Still filling the form and needs to be sure of every details before I submit. Lekiboboe is right.is is stated Post Baccalaureate Diploma and needed a degree. And yes I have experience in the field, so that's why the course. Now where am having confusion is, am to do the program in a university and not college. So that why I need help on which to choose. So, please kindly direct me

Anon123:
Sorry but immediately i saw diploma, i have a feeling this will be a denial but pls specify what kind of diploma

Do u have a bsc or hnd?

Post graduate diploma.

Please house, for a person whose program is diploma but done by university, which option will he choose in my level of study will be. Option available is;
university-bachelors,
university- master's,
university-doctorate,
university-other studies.

Which is the right choice?

For cost of studies, in tuition I put total cost in LOA, room and board, I wrote 10,000 living cost, other i left is blank. Then funds available, I wrote the total money as indicated in SOA. is that the right way?

Thanks alot

Hmmm. Guys visa officers are visiting LinkedIn oo. A friend's own was just visited. He got the notification. So be mindful of your posts on social media.

dyce101:
That school is costly

Hahah. Really. CAD13.7k Tuition is costly? Is deferential fees that made it reach 23k for 2year course. My profession took me there. So is ok for me.

Hello Ketima,

Are you attending CBU? Cause i'm also gathering my documents for the study permit application for the same school

Yes. Nice to meet you

Uzomachukwu:
7. The answer is: No! (NYSC is not in any of those stated categories).
6. Yes, and explain it in your LOE.
5. I guess your study duration is more than 1 year, so it should be others (then add the number of years in the space by the right).
4. Date of court marriage/registration
3. Myself and my sponsor
2. Tuition and living expenses for 1 year only
1. If your program starts in May 2021, the next one year will be April 30, 2022; just as April 30, 2023 will make it two years. So question is, what's your study duration and when is your start date?

Thanks alot.

My course starts Sept 8, 2021

Hello house, need your clarifications in filling the IMM forms.


1. Duration of study. Only start date was stated in offer letter and no completion date, so how do I go about this?

2. Cost of studies; "tuition, room & board and others" am I to put the risk tuition and cost of living for 2years?

3. My expenses in Canada will be paid by? Now I will pay bulk of it and Sponsor will pay rest. So how do I answer this?

4. For date of marriage, is it trad or Church or court?

5. For purpose of visit in the drop-down menu, which do I chose, short term studies or returning or others?

6. Fund available for stay in Canada. Should I put total money in my SOA and Sponsor SOA?

7. Where the asked, did you ever serve in military, civil defense non obligatory national service
, is NYSC part of non obligatory national service?

As I asked sometime ago about co-op letter and was asked by seniors to find out from the institution if they do give seperate letter for co-op. Well, I did and they replied as stated below;

"We don't issue a separate co-cop letter, but when you are registered for your classes, you can request a Proof of Enrolment letter which will state that your program involves a co-op placement."

Now as it is, I can't register for class as it is not yet open. So can i go ahead and upload my acceptance letter Which stated the co-op. Again, do I attach this mail from institution as to show proof why am using acceptance letter to indicate that my program has co-op and not co-op letter?

Thanks alot for all your help.

Hello Ketima,
Which school are you applying to?

I have already applied to schools, gained Admission in 1 and waiting for 2 more. But the SOP am referring to for review is for study permit

deommanuel:
Please go ahead

Thanks alot. Don't know how this sending mail from here works. You mind sending me your mail to smile2m@yahoo.com so I can send the SOP for your review?

@Lekiboboe hope you don't mind too so that I can send as well.

deommanuel:
Hello,

I'll be glad to help.
You can send me a mail

Hello deommanuel,

I need some help. Have been asking but no one seems to respond. Seriously need the review before submission. Hope you wouldn't mind I send to you too

Chai gurus,

I know you all are busy, but please i really need help to review my SOP. About to start application and don't want to submit SOP that isn't reviewed. Pls

dayjeee:
Amen! Thanks ogami
I have admissions in cape breton university and Georgian college. Considering the deadline of tuition deposit of Georgian, 2500 CAD in jan 21, i may not be able to meet up. Even if i try to meet up, I may not have enough time to get the rest of the tuition fee and POF together before deadline. Also heard it's hard getting PR in ON.
Cape breton would have been my best shot as it gives me options of starting in sept 2021, Jan 2022 or April 2022. Also, heard it is easy getting PR in the Atlantic province. But I dont really see people going to that school from here. Hope its a good school and i won't have issue with VO if i apply for Study permit.
Lastly, i am also looking for Master programs that can give me funding, i found a school, i sent an email to potential supervisor like 2 weeks now, no response. Though it is not part of the department admission requirements to get a potential supervisor before applying. Do you think it is still wise to apply to?
Thank you

Got at Cape Breton University too but not too comfortable with their refund policy in the Admission letter. Wrote to them for clarification before I pay anything

Please gurus here, who will help me review my SOP. Pls

Please I need a guru who can help review my SOP. Pls help me out, really need a gurus review.

Lekiboboe:
ok then,

That means your school should have given you a Co-op Letter (it does come with Admission Letter), so it's that CO-OP Letter you are going to upload on that EVIDENCE OF WORK REQUIREMENT IN STUDY Upload section

@Lekiboboe,

What if in situation there isn't a separate letter for it but it was indicated in admission letter. Instance mine said co-op of 12weeks of 420hrs in the admission letter. Can I still upload the admission letter in the co-op column or request for co-op letter from institution? Please your help is highly needed

Hello gurus, I hail you all for your doing here.

Please what the documents needed for sponsorship if is your uncle? He is a business man

How to prove relationship with him? Is it just birth certificate of parents and the uncle in question?

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Again, if passport is expiring October and they(immigration officer) said it cant be renewed until is up to 6month to expire. It is wise to apply with such passport?

Lastly, please @Frank @OtunbaTee, @Justmellow, I need who will help review my SOP.

Thanks to you all. You guys have been up great help.

Seansoft:
Good afternoon house, I don’t know if I’m doing this right because I’m new to this Nairaland , someone just introduced me to this thread as well, because I’m in a serious dilemma right now, I really need help and please anyone that really wish to offer me help should please do so, I need advice on what to do if it is not too late for me, because I’m hooked right now

I have a BSC in Economics and I graduated since 2012. And I have this ambition of going abroad
I’m considering master but I had a 2.2

I met this agent on Instagram and he promises heaven and earth
He convinced me that I do not need to stress my self applying for a master that I can apply for another undergraduate program that he has a way of getting admission for undergraduate studies from a particular school in canada and then when I get to canada I can decide to work for 2 years and use the remaining 2 years to apply for masters in canada because I will be issued a 4years visa.. He said he will apply at the canada embassy for a second degree on my behalf that what he need to do is to Support the application with a good SOP, he said he’s good at what he does and he has a way to package me and my application before the embassy,

so I agreed and he charge me about 300k for application fees and services charge for admission process and after few weeks the admission came out but it was a conditional admission that doesn’t indicate my course of study

I don’t have a sponsor but at that time I had about 2million in my account and he said he can provide me with a sponsor if I paid 250k and I negotiated and we agreed and I paid

After then I paid another 100k for visa fee to his account. and what we have agreed on was that he will charge 100k when visa is out

And few days ago he send me messsage that I will be the one to write the SOP accepted I will write the SOP, and I was asking him to give me some information about the sponsors and the amount of money in the Sponsors account.. he told me he can not disclose any information about the sponsors to me for security reasons.

He send me a very quack SOP samples that is enough for that VO to Denied the Visa.

How can I write a good SOP without a detailed information about the sponsor and all.

It was then I realized that this guy just wanted to collect my money and send anything to the embassy, because I see he has nothing to lose if I got denied

He also told me that I will have to pay his 100k services charge when I’m going for my biometrics and that was not our initial agreement

I’m 31 years old I’m married but I’m not legally married I have a 6months old baby right now. He said all that does not matter that he will include all of that in my application to boost my chance I have been an hustler ever since my secondary school days sponsoring my self and my sister to school We have parents but they are not well to do because my father is a retired military man and mum don’t work.

My work experience is not really in line with the course I study in school

Because I had worked in School as client attendant and also work in a private organization in production department as a production staff
And I use my car as a side hustle for Uber

I actually wanted to tell the agent not to submit my application to the embassy because getting a denial will have a lot of negative effect on my status later in the future and I may not know how to correct them.. and he do not want to refund my money back to me

Please house what can I do Please do not ignore my message in the name of God! Insult and constructive critics are also welcome�

Should I just forget about the admission and the visa application because I’m sensing denial or is their anything I can do that will boost my chances..

Sorry for what the agent did to you, but is obvious you have been scammed, and he indirectly sent back your application back you in the name of you writing your SOP.
Questions are:

1). You have bsc and going for another bsc at 31years

2). Applying with conditional offer, what is even the condition given In the admission letter?

3). How can you write proof of fund without the details of the sponsor he promised you that will be your sponsor (I may be wrong here oo as am still learning the process), is obvious he has no sponsor.

To cut the story short, sorry to sound this way, you have been scammed of your hard earned money. Canada school admissions and study visa application is straight forward stuff that anyone can do on his or her own. You know within yourself that this one won't make it before your eyes not to talk of the VO.

So, my humble suggestion is, hard up man, forget the scammer of an agent (if you can forget it ooo), take your time do your own institutions research and application close to your bsc or experience, cos as a 2.2 holder, it will be hard to get masters, so your best shot is POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA.
If you don't have the money, you can source for a blood relative who can sponsor you, then you take it up from there.

I did thorough research here and candavisa website from January to September 2020 on how to go about canada study and all that (with lots of screen shotting to keep them cos I may not find the info again) nd started my application in October nd now am on my way to apply for study permit and still learning front gurus here, who have been wonderful with giving vital nd helpful infos. So is never too late to start afresh bro.

All the best and it will end in praises

Frankrobbn1:
Include a copy of the IELTS General test report form with your application. This makes you eligible for the NSE program.


It will end in praise

Hello frankrobbn1,

please in situation one submit IELTS with 7,7,7,5.5, knowing that one module is below NSE requirement, will they ask you to resubmit a new one? Also, will submitting such IELTS score for normal route affect decision making even though IELTS is not needed for normal route.

Thanks

totee1999:
Hello everyone, I have been asked by IRCC to submit mybankstatement and IELTS so they can process my application through the NSE route. However, the funds I used for my proof of funds have been transferred back to my parents' account (I was self-sponsored) through my other account. So my question is that should I transfer the money back to my account. Does this affect my application or should I just move on from it and allow them to process my application normally. And I would also like to know if anyone has gotten approval here without going through with the NSE as requested and how long did it take?

Hello,

Am not an expert but I feel you made a mistake. I feel since you mentioned that the money was for your study, you should have allowed the money to be in your account all through the visa application until you get your approval. Instead you moved it out after submission, and now they are asking and you want to bring it back. It might make the VO think that the money actually won't be available for study as you sent it back to the owner immediately you submitted and now we have asked for it again and you brought it back.

The VO might think you borrowed it and it isn't actually yours as your indicated. So for me, I would advice you to leave it and let it go through the normal route but instead, write an LOE on why you can't meet up with the deadline.

deommanuel:
Look at the attached screenshot

I hope you can get some info from there.

Cheers!

Thanks alot. Will start sourcing documents mentioned that I don't already have

deommanuel:
Hello Ketima

Yes please. Include the birth certificates.

For the financial aspect, can you include your in-law's CAC and other business documents(tax clearance and the rest) if it's a registered business?

It's gonna be necessary to show that the source of income is legal and sustainable.
You can also add the Documents you've included.

GOODLUCK!
IT WILL END IN PRAISES!

Hello deommanuel,

Yes from company account department, tax are been paid directly when purchase is been made from the manufacturer and indicated in the invoices been sent along. So the account officer said no separate tax is been paid as all are already captured during purchase.

The company I work for is a mega distributor for most FMCG companies. So don't know how to go about that or will that reason be enough to convince the VO.

Thanks.

Olayibo1:
Okay bro..but pls, incase of that study leave, can someone use only payment voucher as proof of payment of salaries or u have to show bank statement for salary? why I asked is we were paid in cash for monthly salaries and our salaries ain't that regular too..it's a private school organization.

To make things clear, I did educational management during my degree days in which I graduated Dec 2017 and I did my nysc October 2018 and finished October 2019..so..I applied for Post graduate certificate in Human resources management..now I'm still on my SOP..it's the home ties of a thing that is giving me little issue for now

Ok. For mine, there was no pay slips, but salaries were paid into account from the companies account, so it will show in my SOA, and again, I saw comment somewhere, the person made comment about using voucher (or payroll or so. Can't quiet say) as proof too. But I don't know the validity of that.

Olayibo1:
Pls..how did u go about your home ties?

Still writing my SOP, but do home ties, I have

1.lands(will submit power of attorney and receipt of purchase)

2. house but still under construction so no C of O (so don't know how to prove this one)

3. car( will submit proof of ownership nd receipt of purchase)

4. Marriage certificate

5 shares & dividends certificate

6. Pension certificate and SOA

7. Study leave letter and letter of recommendation stating that I would be be absorbed back after completion of studies

That's all for now.
Gurus here knows better.

OtunbaTee:
It should be, your LOE and career progression should be priority, cos some people have showed more thank enough bank balance and still get delayed..focus more on building a strong LOE and future plans as to why uve chosen the Canada.. and it will end in praise..

Thanks otumba. Am building that too. Don't want to leave any part of the application open for doubt for the VO as this is my first time. That's why am taking my time.

When am done with my SOP, will be much happy to get a review of it by gurus in the house.
