I got admitted into this university but English proficiency test results was a requirement of which I wrote IELTS..
I even had to ask them if it’s necessary since my first degree was in English and I’m from an English speaking country.. so they sent me a link and said I should check if my country is listed amongst the list they created and that if not, then I would need to write an English test.. mehn, Nigeria wasn’t among o but I was very surprised to see countries like Kenya, Zimbabwe... I was so shocked.
That’s how I later wrote IELTS o
Thank God I did well

I just got admission to University of Lethbridge and as far as I know you actually have two options, you can either do IELTS before going or apply for their EAP(English for Academic purpose) which you will pay for(I can’t remember exactly how much I paid) The program is for a year.

I choose the EAP because it’s a better option for me. School resumes September/January and I don’t think I have enough time to prepare for IELTS.

Hello everyone,


Please who knows where I can get a loan for my education. Approximately 2.5million Naira. I just finished my Nysc in April and I get an admission in the University of Lethbridge, Alberta for fall 2019. My visa application has been delayed due to lack of funds.I have managed to get a sponsorship letter and statement of account. Just Incase anyone here knows how I can get in contact with any philanthropist or anyone that can help, I will really appreciate. I have always wanted an opportunity like this.

Tlontin:
Use your fiancé as your ‘common law partner’. You can make research about the phrase pertaining to canada immigration. Well Canada immigratio recognized this so far you can prove that you both have lived together for over a year eventhough you aren’t legally married.
Goodluck

Thank you so much for your input, ill do just that.

JustMellow:
Please, go ahead and use him as your sponsor. IRCC clearly understand a common law relationship. It would be much better if you can pay or show your your 1st semester tuition fees likewise your 1yr LE outside the 10m.

Good luck!

Thank you so much.

Hello everyone, I’ll really appreciate your input and sincerity as regards my question..


I’m at the verge of applying for a study permit(fall 2019). Is it safe for my sponsor to be my fiancé?
He has just 10million, will that be enough? My agent says it’s not safe at all and I don’t know anyone that can sponsor me asides from my Fiancé.. What can I do?

Pls I’ll really appreciate your responses ��

Third Party sponsorship

I have noticed a few issues regarding the use of 3rd party sponsorship and I'd like to make a few remarks to the best of my knowledge.

3rd party sponsorship is the use of individuals/organisations that dont have a direct relationship with you or have their own dependents.


It isn't impossible to use a 3rd party sponsor, but a lot of people find it hard to get the required details. A VO needs to understand why someone that isn't directly related to you (father, Mother, husband, wife or siblings without dependents) would want to sponsor you. The very first thing they need to understand is:
1. Has the 3rd party sponsor assisted you financially in the past with concrete EVIDENCE! .
2. Can you explain vividly the dependents of the 3rd party sponsor and how this won't affect future assistance.
3. Can you explain why a (3rd) would want to spend so much money on you!.

so ideally there isn't a perfect way to do this or a magical document to convince a VO. However if you can get the following among other supporting documents then you are fine. Also note the older you are the harder it is for a VO to believe your case and you can get flagged for rejection based on "Personal finance" or inadequate reason for embarking on an expensive program.
1. Show proof the (3rd) has assisted in the past
2. Explain vividly the (3rd) dependents in a separate LOE. And back it up with documents
3. (3rd) financial portfolio
4. Rather than the (3rd) stating in the letter of employment that he/she promises to do this and that let the person pay a reasonable sum perhaps tuition. That way the LOS will have a statement such as
" I have paid the applicants 1st semester fee has my own quota of support towards the applicants studies and prepared to do more in future".
You will notice that the (3rd) has shown considerable support to convince the VO rather than making empty promises to the VO on supporting.
This is just a few tips and there are so many other things that can be done to help your application. God bless!

Thank you so much for this sir, very informative.
