Submitted my passport upfront with lots of VISAs in it including Yankee.

My people how una dey, Canada is hard o but Nigeria is way harder, everything here is digital. Smartphone is COMPULSORY. Most people here are respectful and everything is organized. A ride is somehow important because some places are not accessible by public transit. This place is diverse, every continent is represented but my present location is dominated by indians,jamaicans and canadians. Weather not too bad because its summer. This place is expensive mehn,if u keep converting money to naira like me, u fit begin cry. To barb hair na $20, me wey get beard na like 27-32$ i dey spend but na small money here sha.

First few weeks were lonely and boring because i really missed my family. On the social scene, me enter one nightclub mehn..plenty hot girls lol, really enjoyed the nyt. My pm no dey work so if u get question you drop it here and i will reply when next i get time.

Cheers brethren......don't waste time in naija,the earlier you are here the better.

Goodluck guys

[quote author=Sancole post=57377347]I am new on this thread and appreciate the good work you are doing. I have an admission to study Master of Management at the University of Windsor. The program duration is 16 months and the tuition is 32,000 CAD. I have about 10 years work experience and will fund my studies. Even though the tuition is high, I opted for it because it does not require GMAT like most Management courses in Canada. When applying for study permit, will I be expected to show proof of fund for the whole tuition

Congrats on ur admission, i will advise that u av all ur tuition fee in ur Acct b4 u apply, I'm saying this cos I did a part payment 2 my school, bt during my visa application processing I was asked by the visa officers to show proof of payment for a whole academic year, plus some other additional docs.

To answer your question, you can't use jst any random station to get ur police report, the popular one that people use is the central criminal registry (CCR) at a alagbon in ikoyi.

To save u any future wahala I think u shld jst get ur police report from CCR in ikoyi

Hi Everyone, am new to nairaland and an happy because all I see are people that try to help each other. So am applying on Monday for my study permit (paper route). Got ad mission to do Diploma integrated Aviation Management in McGill University for Sept 2017. My profile is as follows;
I am 30 yrs old

Bsc Building (unilag) 2008

Work Experience
2010-2017/02 held several positions customer service rep/ passenger handling officer/senior airport service executive. I recently change jobs for a position of GM operations and Marketing

Travel History
Been to US UK Canada Dubai South Africa Saint Lucia

Family ties
Married with 3 kids(kids are US citizens) and hubby has a 5 yrs visiting visa to Canada

Financials
Sponsoring myself 14500 USD and 4.2m

Tuition
18,350 CAD and 11000 CAD for expenses

Going alone for the study and it's a 12 months program.
I have never been denied a visa before
Done police report and upfront medicals

1. So my question is my course doesn't relate to my first degree.
2. Most people are using sponsors. Sponsoring myself is that a problem. I really don't want to have to lie
3. Sincerly how long does it take to get response
4. All family members can enter Canada legally. Is that not an issue

Please gurus in the house abeg evaluate n tell me what to do better
To answer your 1st question, you have to convince the visa officer on y u suddenly chose to study that particular course, since it doesn't relate to ur first degree and ve bn working for years and financially stable, that can be explained in your statement of purpose or letter of explanation.

To ur 2nd question, you don't need an external sponsor, if u are financially capable to sponsor yourself all through ur degree programme that is tuition plus living expenses included.

To your 3rd question, the average processing time for visa processing in Nigeria is about 14wks, so u need 2 kick off ur application as soon as u can.

I don't really understand ur 4th question, d question isn't very clear

Truth is, this question is A bit 2 complex for us 2 answer, reason being that, we can't really ascertain if the VO'S are actually going to contact your employers concerning your application. The most important thing is be honest about every info u give, irrespective of whether they'll contact ur company or not.
