Osemigho:


I shook my head when some people on this thread advise you to register with AIP. Do these people even know how the system in Canada works? Your international student advisor, someone that will likely process your refund, advise you not to register without study permit and they are saying you should do otherwise. Maybe you don’t know, most international student advisor are also registered, trained, and certified immigration consultant. They know that visa officers have power to decide applicants fate, they can be very unpredictable, and there is little or nothing you can do about it.

If your school says they will not refund after registration of classes, you are own your own if you pay your tuition and register. They will gladly read out the rules to you if you later ask for it. You won’t be the first to loose your money to them.

Also, you should ask your advisor because study permit is usually required for disbursement of scholarship. Admission or AIP does not guarantee scholarship. If you don’t get your study permit, you loose your money, your scholarship, and your seat. I hope you have the emotional and financial strength for this risk if you decide to register with AIP.

Also, in exceptional circumstances when you cant perform your role, like in a RA/TA scholarship, you are likely to loose the scholarship. I don’t know your program and tuition cost, but the fact that you needed to make tuition deposit despite having scholarship and entrance award is also a yellow flag for me.

Perhaps the scholarship rules are changing because they can’t guarantee people’s performance with online classes and not in Canada. Oyinbo Dey serious that business na business. They will let you go, AKA fire you, if you can’t perform your duties to their satisfaction.

It is not my money or my mental health. I am only a concerned fellow. Whatever decision you make, please let us know the outcome. It will help other applicants to make an informed decision.

I drop my pen on this registration matter and wish everyone the best. It is my joy that it works out for everyone. Personally, I am observing for my advisees coming winter and fall 2021. So I’m learning from you all. Have a blissful day.

I didn’t, mainly because the space wasn’t enough, otherwise I would have submitted the salary account statement with it. Although, I also submitted another supporting bank statement (just not the salary account bank statement). I think if your payslip is your only supporting financial document you should submit the salary account statement along with it.

Kunleraji:
hello,If I submit my payslip, Do I have to submit the salary account statement also?

Lekiboboe:


Upload all pages, The Certificate, Fingerprint page & the final page which has ur Profile & Stamped Passport Photograph

JustMellow:


Hello Kunleraji,

If you so wish to opt for My Bank Statement ID and Ticket Password as proof of funds, go ahead. The verification and conviction will be greeted with satisfaction. All that is required is to generate it via the internet banking of your bank.

After several counting timeframe, you will receive the generated details in your email. Its okay if you print and should then serve as the document you upload in the required column.

Even if being sponsored, including your personal proof of establishment isn't any where near wrong doing. It should be merged to the documents being uploaded in the proof of funds column.

You don't have to include your salary account as your savings account will suffice except if the salary account is to make a claim.

All the best

Kunleraji:
Hello,
Good morning everybody,
Please who here has used my bank statement for his/her application and how does it work?, also how do I attach the ticket to my application?

also I own a few shares but i’m not the one sponsoring myself,does it make sense to add the shares certificates as a part of my application ?and if yes,is it under client information or proof of funds?

lastly,If I add an employment letter,must I also add my salary account statement?,because where I work is a family company so I don’t receive a salary,just allowance from my parents

please gurus here,help me
It will end in Praise.
God bless us all

Hi, please when did you get the admission from Uwindsor? Applied since February for Fall 2020 also, and I’m yet to get their decision.

dommakavelli:
So, I thought I would leave some hints about how to write a statement of interest. I think it is better if you break your essay down into sessions so the visa officer can find it easy and interesting to read. You may use the example below.


Background:
Here, you should talk about your academic background, your work experience(s) that are relevant to your studies, annual income, your program in Canada, start and end date. Who is your sponsor, your relationship with your sponsor and how much you have paid towards your tuition.
Note: Keep whatever you say regarding the bolded to one or two sentences because you will elaborate later. Also, don't worry about repetition, you want to keep putting those good things about you in the Visa officer's mind as they read.
Note: They often read everything. I've seen a GCMS note where the officer said the statement of interest is Vague. This part is like your introduction, more like a summary of everything you have to say in your letter. The rule of thumb is that if the introduction doesn't make sense, the body of the letter or essay won't make sense too.

My Study Plan
This is the part where you have to kill it. You should link whatever you say to your future goals. You must be concise and clear. It is not about how much you write, you don't want to be vague. Make whatever your writer personal. Think like you are in front of a visa officer and you have to convince him to approve your visa. The goal of this part is to address the first condition of the study permit (PURPOSE OF VISIT).

Note: Keep this part to 4 to 5 paragraphs and each paragraph should be between 5 to 8 lines, 12 font, new times roman. This font and font size are standard for APA academic writing.

Example:

In the first paragraph, talk about why you are interested in your proposed program and link it to your future goals. This should be brief because you will elaborate in the next paragraph

Paragraph two, talk more about why you choose your program. You can get information from your program website. (You know that info about your program on the school website, paraphrase it and make it sound like they are your words). Conclude the paragraph by linking whatever you say to your future career goals.

Paragraph three, you should talk about your career goals. In this part, you need to put everything together. You could talk about how your previous study has prepared you for this new program. Link your previous studies and work experience with your proposed study. Then link everything to your future plans.

Paragraph four, you should link what you spoke about in paragraph three to coming back home to pursue your goals. For example, if you have a job /business that you will be going back to, talk about them. Talk about how your study in Canada would help you to grow in your future career. Talk about the possibility of progression in your current job and how studying your program in Canada would help you. You may also talk about how you plan to contribute to your country's development.


Why I choose my school (name the school)
You can get information from the school website. Remember to paraphrase and link whatever info you get to how studying your program in that school is the best choice. Keep to one or two paragraphs.

E.G, After much research, I realized that to grow in my career, I have to study where education is best taught. I choose MUN, amongst other schools because of whatever. I have learned that MUN emphasis on whatever that helps students to learn better. The availability of best professors, and cutting edge research opportunities and whatever inspires me to study at MUN. Something like that. Don't use my words, please. As you know, many people would be reading this.

Why I choose Canada.
Keep this to two paragraphs.

Financial Sponsorship
Here, talk about your sponsors, how much they will support with, mention it if you have paid tuition/accommodation and how much you paid. You may have said this in the introduction, don't worry, it is okay to repeat yourself. Think about it like you are reminding the visa officer about your proof of funds. (The goal here is to talk about the second condition, PROOF OF FUNDS).

Home Ties and Assets
You have to kill this part too and don't worry about repeating yourself. You maY keep it to 3 to 5 paragraphs. The goal here is to convince the officer about the third condition (HOME AND ECONOMIC TIMES). I must say this is the most difficult part.

Example

Paragraph one: Talk about your job/business in Nigerian, how you are doing with them and your plan to come back to them upon completion of your studies.
Paragraph two: You can talk about your professional connections and associations.
Paragraph three: Talk about your relationship with your family. Let the officer know that family is important to you. Your goal is two make this emotional so the officer can understand that your whole life is in Nigeria and you will not throw it away for living in Canada.

Paragraph four: Talk about your financial ties. Do you have properties, cars, rental agreement, stock, money in savings etc. Mention them and conclude this paragraph by saying you have strong economic and family ties to your home country and ask the officer to give high consideration to this. If you signed an affidavit, mention it state that you assure the officer that you will be coming back home after your studies. (I recommend you provide documents for whatever you say here)

Last paragraph: This part, your goal is to make this emotional and connect with the officer's mind. Visa officers are humans too. Remember you have said lots of positive things about yourself, so this is the time to assume that the officer likes you and sees you as a qualified candidate. You should ask the officer to be part of your success story. Write this part as if you are in a job interview and you have the feeling that you will get the job.


Write your conclusion by stating that you believe you are qualified for the study permit based on the info you have provided and urge the officer to approve your application. You should also include your contacts in case they need additional information.


lastly, make sure you use good grammar. Like you are writing an academic paper. It's annoying to have to read a letter that is written poorly. I will be happy if I read a sentence once and understand what you're saying. If I have to read most of your sentences two-three times, to understand, I will be pissed and lose interest. I hope this is helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to ask

Skymoore1004:
Yes. Just send to someone that you’re 100% sure has gotten the visa from previous threads or the popular gurus here that are already in Canada or abroad. Don’t send your sop to any PROSPECTIVE applicant. They’re also like you & cannot really help you. They just want to compare your own to theirs & copy where they can. Just do your work jeje, package your documents and pray to your Chi. All the best brother

Skymoore1004:

You may not have seen much approvals lately since the beginning of the part 17 thread. This is because everything has time and season. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. Funny enough, the refusals now can't be compared with the number of refusals we got late last year starting September 2019 - December 2019. This period of time was such a horrible experience for every member of this group. However applicants were still committed to the process and continued with their re-application.


My honest advise based on my personal experiences to prospective applicants who were recently delayed of their visas, is to get up on their feet again. Take this time to reflect, refuel and refocus on your application, try to do something different in your next application if it would warrant you including relevant documents/informations to substantiate that your situation has changed.

Reflecting and analysing the whole situation would help you see your mistakes in good light. Always learn from your past mistakes by re-strategizing and improving on your application. I spoke to a few number of applicants yesterday, having had an educative and interesting conversations with them about their delayed applications and documents attached, I learnt that some of these applicants were also architect to their problems. It's either there were going for a lower qualiifation, or there is no sufficient ties in the application. But that's by the way.

I have already seen so many people backing off due to the sudden refusals from IRCC. Please distinguished ladies and giants, Never give up on your dreams and always remind yourself how important and significant this Canadian journey is to you. The incentives that accompanies it and if not, for the sake of your kids.

I believe this would give you the energy and strength to push further the next time. All hope is never lost my people, stop nursing the thoughts of where you could have been if your Visa was granted, and start thinking of where to be. It is said once there is life; there is hope. You have to find an inner encouragement or motivation to get back up and start again. Be consistent as possible and have this at the back of your mind that "A knock down is not a knock out and you are not truly defeated until you’ve given up."

Ask yourself What Do I Need To Do Differently?: At this stage you ought to have pointed out the reasons why your visa was refused by the visa officer. What have you done wrong?, and what you should have done. This is an opportunity given by the visa officer to start better. Re-strategize and give it another push. Ask yourself the second time “what do I need to acquire, stop or improve on”? in an effort to better your approval chances.

If you want to get back on your feet and on track as soon as possible, you need others. Canada immigration is not something you can do alone, you need professional advice that will guide you towards the right path. If you face any difficulty in your application, or have concerns, don't hesitate to reach out here for counsel. Once you're done crafting an award winning SOP/LOE, try to contact some of the knowledgeable gurus here to vet and make appropriate recommendations in the letter to be sure you've done something new and expecting a different result (approval).

I believe the time for approval rains would come in a short while from now.

Finally, do not underestimate the power and grace of God Almighty whenever you put in your application. He still remains the author and finisher and he has absolute control over the visa officers at the embassy.


Keep faith guys and remain positive.


As always, It will end in praise!
