I agree with you
Hello House,

Hope y'all staying safe

I av an enquiry to make..

My Sponsor (My Dad) has an account ( FCMB) in which my tuition fee and LE is there.

But he has a Venture (business), and he uses a different bank account (First Bank)for it.. (Lot of transaction do go on here cos of buying and selling )

This First Bank dnt av much funds, but that's the account he uses for his Venture..

But his FCMB acct. has lot of funds..which i intend to only show as my POF

My question is,
Should i still show my Sponsors Biz Venture in the POF section and not talk about his First Bank Account but Show only his FCMB acct?

Or I should show both the FCMB & First Bank Account

Thanks..

Thank you very much for your response. I will want to dm ask what is the difference between GRADUATE CERTIFICATE AND GRADUATE DIPLOMA. Then also does graduate certificate increases CRS scores?

University of Saskatchewan,...they said I have to have 70% cgpa before I can apply and mine is not up to. I have 62%. And they are also saying I should search for supervisors first before applying.

Memorial University of Newfoundland, Newfoundland and Labrador .... same with this one to search for supervisor and 70% cgpa for post graduate diploma.
Graduate diplomas offered in Canada are typically taken following a bachelor's degree and a successful award allows progression to a master's degree. Depending on the institution, a graduate diploma in Canada may be at graduate level or bachelor's level.

Similar courses at other Canadian institutions may be termed postgraduate diplomas at graduate level and post-baccalaureate diploma at bachelor's level.

Graduate Certificate is a credential usually offered to students who have completed an average of 15 credits of graduate course work[clarification needed].

Admission requirements vary tremendously among Canadian universities, but in general both graduate students, as well as undergraduate students having completed a Bachelor's degree, can apply to such a program. In some cases, the graduate certificate can represent part of the coursework required for obtaining a Master's degree.

From my own perspective, I feel they are the same..

As per the PGD of the Universities, since ur Percentage is less than what they require, u can opt for the PGC/PGD Colleges (e.g Fanshawe and Lambton)
With ur percentage, u will likely get admitted to a College.

And there are other schools offering PGC/PGD courses Engineering not necessarily Mech. Eng.

Visit here to check
https://www.universitystudy.ca/search-programs/?k=Engineering&program_level_merged=Graduate+level+certificate%2Fdiploma&program_language=ENGLISH#

U can also
Visit Ontario College website
https://www.ontariocolleges.ca/en/programs

Explore each Colleges and check for their PGC/PGD Engineering programs

Make sure any school (college/university) you decide to choose is a DLI institute

Good luck

Mr Frank,
Good day and you do a great job as well as Naijaforeigner as well(I really appreciate)

Please Mr Frank, I have a degree in mechanical engineering but I want to get admission into a school in Canada, post graduate diploma or graduate diploma as they call it there. I tried to google for some schools and all I see is Business management, Human Resource management and some other courses.
I did not see any one that is related to Engineering or even project management something relative to Engineering. Honestly I am used to holding my calculator and finding X so doing courses that doesn’t involve calculating might be a challenge.

So can you suggest some schools I can try also?

1. Refund policy should be good
2. Maybe part scholarship (optional)
3. It should be a DLI

Please Mr Frank I even sent you email as well.
Mr. Hammed you can check google or visit the link below for information on the following PGD/PGC Mech. Engineering Courses, u might likely get what u want..

Actually, it depends on the requirement and documents you used in opening this account. There might be restriction of some sort if your savings account is still a student account. I know very well that a regular Nigerian Savings Account can accommodate 10M and above. That being said, its advisable that you should confirm from your bank if there is any limitation as to the amount your account can accommodate.

You don't need a teller to prove at the point of entry that the money is rightfully yours. All the immigration officer wants to know is the amount you're bringing into Canada and be truthful as possible by declaring that it's for your living expenses. I am certain you will be fine. Also, it's important you also go along with your tuition receipt (if you've made any deposit to the school).

I hope this helps.

Lest I forget, I prefer you address me with my name Frank not with the title "Oga" grin. We are here to assist each other and thus there shouldn't be any practice of hierarchy on this thread. As I always say on this platform, "I'm thy humble servant to command".

This is for people who are on the verge of flying or settling down as an international student and also for prospective international student as well in Canada.

Knowing how much international student in Canada spend on rent, food, transportation and communication will help prospective students to think about their finances before coming to Canada.

1-) Yes you can but you must declare at the point of entry that you've such amount of money with you to the immigration officer. This will be among the few questions that will be thrown at you once you arrive Canada. "Do you've any money with you"?

2-) Your dad should transfer the equivalent of the money into your account, then you approach you bank with the following Personal Travel Allowance (PTA) Requirements:

1-) A copy of your admission letter
2-) A copy of your valid Nigerian International Passport
3-) A copy of your valid visa of the country of destination (Canada).
4-) A copy of your flight ticket
5-) Verifiable BVNs

3-) Not all the immigration officers at the point of entry do request for POF. Some are straight to the point and ask few questions, which the officer then move forward to print your study permit and issue you an Social Insurance Number (SIN). However, to be on a safe side, you might want to print and take along with you, your dad's (sponsor) statement, or a copy of your dormicilary account statement and the cash you have at hand.

4-) Yes, you can get to open a bank account immediately upon arrival. The process is seamless and would require the following;

1-) A copy of international passport
2-) Study permit
3-) SIN
4-) Address.

I hope this information helps.

It will end in praise.
Wow, Thanks for your Clear and Concise response.
Well understood....

God bless you Oga Frank

Sequel to your 2nd response ;
1) Would a Savings Account be able to accommodate such amount ($10,000CAD) of money if my Dad wanna transfer it to my account?

N.B. My Bank Account type is a SAVINGS ACCOUNT

2) Would I have to show the VO a Teller or an Evidence that he transferred so so amount to me in my POF Documents


Thanks

You can move money from Nigeria to Canada by changing your Naira currency to USD in any of the Bureau De change offices. You can as well as open a Domiciliary account and deposit the required amount in the account while you make the withdrawals/exchange to CAD in Canada. Alternatively, you can request for Personal Travel Allowance (PTA) from your designated bank in Nigeria. The maximum amount allowed for PTA is $4,000.

As stated on IRCC official website, that the Canadian customs regulations require you to declare if you are bringing more than CAN $10,000 into Canada at the point of entry. If you don’t tell them, you may be fined, and your funds could be seized.

These funds could be in the form of:

1-) cash (dollar ----> most preferable).
2-) documents that show property or capital payable to you (such as stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills, etc.)
3-) documents that guarantee payment of a set amount of money, which are payable to you (such as bankers’ drafts, cheques, travellers’ cheques or money orders).
4-) Bank Statements.

I hope this helps.
Nice one ..

OK Oga Frank, I be wan ask

Since I am bin sponsored by my Dad,

1) Can I go with $7,265 USD cash which Amounts to $10,200CAD (LE) or Probably any other amount within the range of $5000 CAD - $10,000 CAD ?

2)You talked about PTA , since the LE is in my Sponsor account, how can I get access to the $4,000 USD

3) Since I heard they do ask for POF at the Point Of Entry (Airport) ,in what way am I gonna show this to d Officer who gonna issue the Study Permit.

3) For security reasons, can someone get a bank to register on that day of arrival, so as not to be carrying this cash up and down
Or what Suitable advice can u give me

Upload the entire document showing the Ticket ID and password with other related financial documents. Don't worry about how the embassy will verify the authenticity, the MyBank statement has already been addressed to them, which grants the visa officer at the Canadian Embassy the full access to your personal account/sponsor's account . Just make sure your documents are clear enough and readable.

Thank you for the links....
but does not having any traveling history really matters?
The school is asking for 1 semester fees and not the full year... which will work for the embassy VO will prefair full year or semester tuition?
U are welcome,

As per Travel History, it doesn't really matter, but
I feel u gonna do justice to that on ur SOP (Statement of Purpose). According to a post I got in this forum sometime ago, u can tell the VO DAT, U haven't thought of travelling abroad bfor. Hence, ur reason for wanting to travel abroad at this point of ur life is to augment special worth to urself & also because of how important this ur program ( State ur Program) is to ur career/biz back home which could create lots of outstanding opportunities in ur career & personal development etc.

Hmmm..as per sch. Fees.. Probably the Gurus here would know.more about that....

Normally, the sch. Asking u to pay 1 semester is jz for dem to secure ur seat for you & to know ur level of commitment.

To the VO. - Paying full & Paying only One Semester is a 50-50 Case.

U can endeavor to know d refund policy of the sch.

Many av paid half of deir tuition bfor & got approved, some paid full & got rejected and some did not even pay at all & dey got approved as well.

I think u should enquire for their expertise in this forum.

MyBank Statement is a perfect means of showing POF especially for Canadian study Visa application. Your dad can absolutely use it in place of the regular SOA. Being that you're a fresh graduate, you don't need to show proof of current employment in your application. When filling your study permit IMM1294E form, remember to indicate NYSC as your current occupation and include supporting documents from your service to support this fact.

Thanks So much Boss Frank. I really appreciate ur efforts...

Now to the aspect of Uploading to POF section . I.e Merging of MyBank Statement Ticket, Tuition fee receipt from school, Tuition payment receipt to school, Sponsor Intl. Passport Data pages etc...

Since its a Passworded Document, how will the VO (Canadian Embassy) access it when I merge it together for uploading to POF or is it gonna be a stand alone document. or is it only that first page am (showing the Tickeck no. , password , Name and Destination) am going to upload.

1-) I believe you're referring to the newly launched NIGERIA STUDENT EXPRESS VISA route?. You don't need much explanation when applying via this route. Once you've the $30,000CAD in your Mybank statement for a period of six (6) months. A brief explanation highlighting your Mybank statement with other supporting documentation is enough to demonstrate that you've the financial resources to undertake your program in Canada. Note: This program hasn't been officially approved to begin.

2-) The advantage the Mybank statement has over the regular statement of account is that with the ticket ID and password which has been specifically been addressed to the Canadian embassy for the purpose of your visa application. The Visa officer can easily access and verify the authenticity of your account and the funds available without needing further information from the bank . This is the easiest method introduced by the Canadian embassy to feasibly fish out applicants with fraudulent SOA.

3-) As an international student aspiring to travel to Canada for an advanced learning. Its mandatory that you must show proof of funds for the first year of study which includes your tuition and living expenses as well as your flight itinerary to and from of Canada.

It will end in praise
Amen... Tnx Boss Frank..for the enlightenment

I would love to ask, Do u recommend My sponsor (Dad) us this MyBank Statement method for my Canada Study visa application instead of getting the usual Bulky SOA from the bank .

1)How can u explain to the V.O. using it..
to demonstrate L.E

2)And what advantage does it have over the traditional way of asking of SOA from Banks.

3) this is a total different question, I have heard someone talking about Flight fares , ticket and the likes.. Are we still gonna be talking about or demonstrate to d VO about Flight ticket fare to Canada.
