You don't necessarily need to present someone else as your sponsor. You can be self sponsored.

Thank you so much!
I really appreciate

Good morning everyone! Please I have a question!
Does one need a sponsor to apply for Canada study permit, even when you have the said amount in your bank statement?

I want to apply so I want to if having a sponsor is paramount. Please! I will really appreciate your response

ShowYoung:
Yes. Secure admission in a DLI school and PGWP-eligible course if PGWP is a priority

Can I move my wife and kids to Canada after my study

ShowYoung:
Yes. Secure admission in a DLI school and PGWP-eligible course if PGWP is a priority

Yes sir! PGWP is a priority
I have a wife and two kids to cater for

ShowYoung:
You don't necessarily need to write any exam to apply for Study Visa except requested by your college or university of choice to gain admission.

It's rare of Canadian schools to ask Nigerians to sit examination.

.

Thanks! I really appreciate your response
So the first thing is to apply for admission into their school?

Good morning everyone! I’m an industrial chemistry fresh graduate and I wish to further my study in Canada! Is their any exam I need to write before I can be granted admission? I will really appreciate your response

[quote author=NigPatriot post=106779976]People's cases are different, it might work for him but counteract for you. so it's best you tailor your application in such a way that you highlight your best options forward.[/quote

can you please shed more light on this?

Dayoaf:
“Ulterior” motive.

Thanks for the correction, I really appreciate.

Ulterior motive noted

NigPatriot:
...and what usefulness will his response do to you?

So as to know how to arrange my own when the time comes, no interior motive though. Just want to gather much information so I can get my visa approved without denial

12th January, 2021
Good evening all,

I am glad today, my interview at Abuja went so well and it was God, I must say.

I was the 4th to be interviewed this morning and the 1st to be granted a visa, the three guys before me were rejected.

School is University of New Haven, Connecticut.
I had little funding and deficit of $26k
Course: Masters of Public health

The VO(only VO for today) had an assistant with him, guess the guy was on training or so, cos he had the approval and denial papers with him in a file, both of them were standing (or do the VOs usually stand?) the VO collects from him to dish out. You hear him converse slightly with the assistant after each applicant leave before he calls on the next applicant, so that's why I presume he was on training as a VO too.

VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning to you

VO: can I have your documents (passport and i-20)
Me: sure you can, here you have it(I passed to him)

VO: what's your course?
Me: Masters of Public health

VO:Do you know anyone in Connecticut?
Me: No, I don't.

VO: So where will you be staying
Me: in the school hostel, I already booked a space( I haven't booked any space ooo, just replied with that)

VO: I can see you have a deficit to be paid by a family member, so who is paying?
Me: My dad actually

VO: So what does he do?
Me: He owns one of the biggest hotels in Lagos, he cuts me short and asks for the name, I replied, then he asks for his bank statement and I showed him. Flips to the second page only, showing his assistant, then returns to me.

VO: what else does he do?
Me: He is into the transportation industry, his fleet of cars and buses run about 17 states currently in Nigeria and hoping to expand to more as demand permits

VO: So how long has he been in the hotel business
Me: about 15-16 years

VO: So he just added the transport to it
Me: Yes

VO: How about your mom, what does she do?
Me: She is a caterer

VO: What type of catering?
Me: indoor and outdoor catering, for both social and corporate events, she also runs staff canteens for companies and she's been in the field for 35years

VO: Wow! That's fine, so do you have siblings?
Me: Yes, 2 sisters and 2 brothers

VO: What do they do?
Me: my older sister works with my dad in his hotel, my younger sis is a fashion designer and a student, my younger brother is a hair stylist and a student, my last brother is a photographer and a student.

VO: Oh! That's good, what secondary school did you attend?
Me: I mentioned and added location

VO:You live in Lagos
Me: Yes, between the boundary of Lagos and Ogun state.

VO: So why did you come to Abuja for interview
Me: my school's resumption date is actually fast approaching and Abuja had earlier appointment dates than Lagos.

VO: oh! That's true, so have you travelled out of the country before?
Me: No, he tried to cajole me like, you know people just travel for maybe vacation to Dubai and that's just it.... So I replied by saying, I have actually been about school and work basically so I haven't even had the time to plan any trip, be it vacation or any.

VO: He kept nodding with his assistant, that one just had the file held like a statue and was smiling. So how did you find out about the school?
Me: When I concluded on having my masters degree, I did an extensive search on Google for schools that offer pub, VO cuts in and completes the rest for me and I said yes.

VO: OK, that's fine, do you have a room mate
Me: I don't know, the school didn't tell me any of such(room that I didn't even book at all)

VO: OK, I want to approve your visa, collects the white paper for approval from his assistant and slides it under the Window with my i-20 and says I can pick up at my preferred pick up point.

Me: thank you very much, I'm honoured.
VO: don't mention, you are welcome (he smiled at me with his assistant, while I dropped my papers in my file and left his window)


That was simply how my interview went, guess this VO is more about home ties cos he hardly asked questions about school even from the first 3 applicants before me.

Thank you everyone for the transcripts you have been dropping so far, to everyone still hopeful for an approval, God in his infinite mercies will make your day of joy to come. You won't come this far and not have a testimony.

The information you gave about your Dad, Mum and siblings is it true?

tiptoe1:
Number 1 is possible but do you have the other i-20 with you already? infact some school won't even require you to spend a semester with them, they will just transfer your Sevis record to the other school you want.

I know someone (BSC) who got admission into a university and a community college but got his visa with the university i-20 and when he got to the usa, he went to the university and told him he would like to transfer to the community college instead but he gave them good reasons.

They transferred it and went to the community college which was just $4500 per year, he did the best thing than staying out of status. But most schools won't transfer your Sevis record to a different school without you spending at least a semester with them

Please, what is i-20

Hello house! How much will it cost for me to process my travel to Canada? I just graduated and will love to further my studies overseas and aslo to secure a job after study.. Your response will be appreciated. Thanks

oseremenifidon:
9M-12M to be on a safe side.

Thanks for your prompt response

oseremenifidon:
Hope you had enough money in your account as bank statements.
Its basically falsified documents or insufficient money in the account that causes such delay or denial, well based on what I read though.
I am also preparing to apply for a visa they just started today this booking online for submission, I pray I get date so I can apply for my Visa soonest.
It's clear that so many people are applying to Spanish universities but its either they are not on nairaland or they just choose to be quiet.
I was shocked at the number of persons I saw at the embassy when I went for legalisation.
The dream of Nigerians is truly to leave Nigeria.

Just came across this trend. Pls, how much do I need to have in my account before I can be given visa? I'm planning on going for masters in Spain. I want to know how much it will cost.. Thanks for your response

Men in Edo state will not allow a woman to touch their head

dingbang:
true it does go both ways, it is a pity that many ladies do not really understand the vast opportunities that await them when they fit into such roles. I'm currently sponsoring a lady on barbing training and when she is done, i'll set up a barbing shop for her so she can fend for herself. I really don't like the way she asks men for little things like data or airtime.

� why would you go to school when you know you won't be serious with your studies?
I'm a proud 2.1 holder in industrial chemistry and aslo an Entrepreneur. I have been running my barbershop even before gaining admission and aslo an employer of labour. I pay up to $30, 000 monthly to my employee, but that was not an excuse for me not to do well in school.

buemene:
This post is coming at the hills of a post featured here a few days back: https://www.nairaland.com/1896298/why-must-finish-least-2.1

I have very high regard for excellence at what one does, academic excellence not being the least of them. I would also encourage all undergrads who are still in school and who have chosen a job as their career path to do all they can to get the golden ticket to a good job - 2.1+.

My personal experience however, has taught me differently. While I was still an undergrad, I turned down three juicy job openings, one in the private sector and two with Govt organisation with pensionable benefits. The reason? I was determined to be a solutions provider and a job creator. So whenever I communicate with prospective clients and proffer solutions to common problems they face, they ended up wanting to employ me to add value to their organisations.

Even in my current position which I work as I finally decided to work for a while, I got the job beating several graduates with 2.1 qualifications while I was still an undergraduate (I graduated with 2.2 part time). All this with no connection or recommendation from any top Govt. Official.
I know several others in my city who have demonstrated entrepreneurial inkling that have turned down several job offers who do not have a university degree. No kidding.

The facts show that putting too much emphasis on pure academic excellence and good grades is diminishing the equally if not more important things any individual should pursue if they want to succeed in life.

Higher education and a degree is overrated and misleading.

Since secondary school leavers naturally aspire for a degree, that is where the problem begins. The trend today is for secondary schools to groom their students for higher education. To this end, most secondary schools focus on academic subjects that enable the students to score well in university entrance examinations rather than on courses that will equip the students for the workplace. Secondary school students today are under tremendous pressure from teachers, counselors, and fellow students to aim for enrollment in the best universities, where they will hopefully earn the degrees that can open for them doors to promising and well-paying jobs. This eventually denies them the most needed practical skills in real life. This continues throughout the university days.

A degree (good or bad) no longer guarantees a job

The popular opinion that for young people to succeed, the only option is to get a university education and come out with good grades has been proven false again and again. Studies show that in many sectors of our economy, there is an acute need, not for university graduates, but for people to work in the trades and services.

Employers are no longer looking for those with polished credentials with little or no experience to contribute. Many employers will prefer to employ an entrepreneur with a proven track record of attempts at succeeding at a business than candidates who wait for a job to come along that matches their good grade status.

Most people learn best outside of the classroom.

Some people prefer learning by doing — working, exploring, creating, or otherwise doing things in the real world. Learning via textbook is tedious and boring to such ones and no matter how hard they try, they just know they are not into it but since it is what is expected of them, they hang in there wasting a huge chunk of the most productive period of their life away. These set mostly come out with low grades but when they find their passion, they excel very well in life.

What are the alternatives?

First class self-development
Strong entrepreneurial undertaken
Start up something and be an employer
Gain inspiration from those who have done it

So whether you graduated with a first class, 2.1, 2.2, 3.0 or even a certificate of attendance or dropped out, you can do a first class job and add value to any organisation you find yourself. Better still, darn the job search mentality and stop polishing a shiny and impressive CV, rather create a product or service, build a business and give your business a first class attention while rendering first class services to your customers. Yes YOU Can Make It Happen not your grade.

I understand your point, but that's not an excuse because I'm a living testimony. I financed my self throughout my stay in the university and I also have a family a wife and two sons( had them while in school)that I take care of. My hustle was my barbershop which I established before I got admitted, and I had to rush home every weekend to attend to my customers. My fight was to graduate with 2.1 and I did despite spending extra year in school


......

one thing you should be thankful for is that you have someone to send you through school, someone who ministered into your needs that was why you were able to concentrate & earn a good grade, the same can't be said of someone who financed himself, who has to take some time off to hustle and come back preparing for exam I wouldn't blame that kind of person if he or she made a 2.2 ,I had a friend back in university who made a 3.10 despite leaving school for some large part of the semester, he will come back a month before exam to compile all the notes and handouts we've been given, imagine if that kind of person had a sponsor and stay back at school like others did, he would have made a good grade.

I just graduated with 2.1 in industrial chemistry and I can't tell the joy I'm having presently. People are fond of saying is not by grades in other to discourage serious student. For me as far as you are in school you should strive for the best and remove that mindset of it's not by result. Same thing I was told when looking for admission, that I have to know someone in uniben for me to be admitted but I was admitted because I scored high and I know nobody in the school..

Of course it did change.
I remember last year when I had no car and was constantly trekking from Gbagada to Alausa. Nobody send me. Nobody greets me. I have two female youth corpers living in same compound with me but they treat me like a leper.
However, as the universe favoured me and I made millions of money from crypto coins, I bought a brand new 2020 Highlander. If you see they way people worship me now
Can you believe these corper girls now compete on who would cook soups and stews for me ?? It's very funny.
To cut long story short, I have been able to diick these girls on several occasions...
Now my pastor wife is in the habit checking up on me regularly... (This was after I made a generous donation to their ministry)

This one na mumu
Common carry over.. Me get extra year but I no take am as anything, now I don still graduate 2021 instead 2019 .

The photograph says it all.

If you are a guy and you're still struggling financially the best advice I can give you is focus on your hustle and ignore/avoid ladies.

If you cant ignore/avoid ladies because you are a weak simp, then go for ladies who are physically unattractive. Ladies that men look at once by mistake but never look at them twice tend to be more humble and patient when they date a broke guy.

Thank me later.

What I was about to say!
Very unattractive

Ogbeni op abi na Baby girl you be just stop this talk
....the point you raised are not valid.....or reasonable.....you mean because of all these someone can not assist family members .....you are talking like a typical uncle from our fathers family

Ogbeni op...let me tell you a secret...no matter what always assist and render help to your family.....
The easiest way to become a Billionaire is to ensure that you help people around you to become a millionaire first....

The one I hate most and have noticed in life is that it seems uncles from our mother side are more caring and assisting than those moda fuckkking uncles from our fathers family .....and the most annoying thing is that we always share the same ancestral surname with those fuckkking uncles from the fathers family....still they will not be willing to help

You are very correct

This prompt to learn Forex trading thinking it will be a financial freedom, I actually blown my account 3times before I calm down..

I abandoned FX and steps into Cryptocurrency and ever since then, This January I've been building my portfolio which amount to 15 different token I'm holding right now.

I would be leaving this work this December and I've difficulty in choosing a skill to learn, I've been thinking of (barbing) but recently I fall in love with UI/UX designs and I'm planning to give it a shot, leaning App development along with it.

Any other suggestions are welcome, Suggestions of Materials to use too are also welcome. Thanks!

I'm a barber! I will advise you learn barbing.. You will never regret doing so
