Hello house , trust you are doing great

Pls I need a clear guide on this PTA thing & going with Cash (money) to Canada

Tuition is paid already, so it's the $10,000 CAD proof of Living Expenses that is left now.

My questions goes thus,

- How can someone go with $10, 000 CAD to Canada?

- I do hear of $4,000 PTA is it $4,000 USD or $4,000 CAD?

- If its $4,000 CAD, Should I open a MasterCard domiciliary account and keep the remaining $6,000 CAD (in USD) there?

If I get to Canada, can i withdraw money in USD with my MasterCard then change it to CANADIAN DOLLAR?

Can someone go to Canada with more than $10,000CAD e.g $10,500 CAD or $11,000 CAD?


Any further information about this will be appreciated


Thanks

AWAIT FURTHER DIRECTIVES FROM MEMBERS IN THIS FORUM WHO SENT THEIR INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT FROM LAGOS TO ABUJA

Olayinkaji:
Good morning Guys, who has applied to canadore college before. I just received the offer letter today and asked to pay this before holding my seat. Is it a must I pay for this fees knowing how long Canada takes time to process visa. House, what's your take?

Good.morning,

Yes it is a must to pay the deposit fee, failure to do so before that deadline, you are at risk of loosing your admission, they would cancel your seat for the program.

Reason why they do is cos, some students apply to more than 2-3 schools, so they are still contemplating on which to choose (more like indecision) based on the reasons known to them, whereas there are some other applicants who are ready to pay the deposit or even full tuition but yet to get the admission.

And some colleges (most esp. in Ontario) do it in a way that, if you don't pay the deposit within the deadline given, they won't give you the official admission letter you are going to use to apply for your Canada Study Visa. Most time, the first offer letter given to students are always CONDITONAL, it is always written boldy (most time in RED COLOR) on top of the Offer letter that, YOU CANNOT USE THIS OFFER LETTER TO APPLY FOR A CANADA STUDY VISA, It's until that student pays his/her deposit, he/she gonna be issued the OFFICIAL OFFER LETTER

In a nutshell, if your are interested in this school, pay the deposit before the deadline given to you

What's the maximum number of pages for the Study permit SOP

This is really no maximum pages for an SOP

There some who have written 6-7 pages and got approval, some 2-4 pages etc. it all depends on the individual. Everyone has different story to say about themselves based on their academic background, work experience etc.

But an SOP needs to well-written & structured with good pointers

Reasons why you need to go through a Guide & Template on what is expected of you so you don't write out of context.

Leverage on the Content in the links below to write your SOP

SOP - Statement of Purpose
The theme SOP is geared more towards the first time visa applicants. In this case, the applicant will more likely talk about how the advance studies is going to complement past academics and how it will brighten up the future career scope. In addition, various other topics will be addressed such as capability to finance studies & living cost, why particular program, why Canada, why particular institution etc.

@lekiboboe please I have been requesting for list of universities in Canada that offer MBA at an affordable rate but haven’t gotten any feedback on it yet. Please do you have any ideas?

About Affordability, I have no idea on that

For you to know the one's with affordable rates, you have to google and visit the school & program websites individually to compare their respective tuition amount for international students with each other
