Instead of going through all the stress, someone told me you can get a bank draft in USD at UBA head office marina, Lagos at their International Operations Department. All you need do is open a dom account in US dollar and pay in all your money for living expenses in dollars and make arrangement to pay your school directly to the school. This can take care of the additional letter from VO, Gurus please look into this.
It will end in praise.

quote author=CanadianNurse post=56394973] Actually it's possible to open an international student account with the royal bank of Canada.... Just got to know yesterday sef.... You fill forms online and submit your email they get back to you and ask you for documents to submit through email.


The account will be blocked and can only be debited until u get to Canada, go to the bank and present them your study permit, passport and letter of acceptance to unblock the account for full usage


I stand to be corrected though.. Just read it from their site[/quote]

Due to currency controls in effect in Nigeria, you must provide one of the following: 1) a letter from a Canadian financial institution stating that the funds necessary for the upcoming academic year* are on deposit in the your name and a bank statement for the Canadian account; 2) a bank draft in convertible currency for the funds necessary for the upcoming academic year* made payable jointly to you and the educational institution; or 3) written assurance from the your bank that the funds necessary for the upcoming academic year* are on deposit as well as written assurance from the Central Bank of Nigeria that you will be permitted to export this amount. *For greater clarity, “funds necessary for the upcoming academic year” means the entire tuition for one academic year plus living expenses ($10,000 CAD for 12 months or, if your course is shorter than 12 months, $833 CAD for each month of study).
