Thanks for your response. The persons is saying that I have to apply for visiting visa first and when given then I will now apply for study permit visa.

Not true. Order for your gcms note now, the gcms notes will tell you the real reasons behind your denial, then with that you can work on that and tender a much better app. Dont mind the person that said you need to get visiting visa first before applying for study.
Search on Google "gcms note" and you will see different links as to how you can order for it and, follow them and you are good(it will take around 30-40 days for you to get it)

I was banned for 2 days when providing my contributions to @Dreambig124 querry. The painful part was that it was painstaking typing in length and rather for it to be updated, I got a ban. I don't know what I did wrong or what went wrong, but @justwise this isn't suppose to be so.

Cheers!

I think you got banned by spambug, I had same experience about 2 weeks ago

Rayychii:
Hello house, please i really just need advice and opinion and would really appreciate it.
Which would you pick between a masters degree in germany or a post graduate diploma in Canada for someone who wants to settle in either of the two countries.

If you think you have what it takes to convince the vo why you are going for PGD and not masters in Canada then try Canada, but if you think you won't be able to give convincing reasons why then go with Germany then move to Canada after studies(that's if you still feel like moving to Canada).
NB; The vos expects people going for post graduate programs to go for masters/PhD but that doesn't mean people going for PGDs don't get approval, all you need do is explain why PGD and not masters

deejay2u:
Thanks for your responds am Bsc holder in Public Administration.

Going for masters in a course related to public administration will be great, that way you don't need much convincing to do. If your grade isn't good enough to secure masters then go for PGD, but anything less than that will be almost impossible to scale through

deejay2u:
Please i want to find out if a 40years old can apply for diploma course in CANADA,cause an agent is telling me they won't give visa for that age that's absorb,please how true is that,and if any one can recommend any school that I don't need to pay much tuition before submitting my application

What kind of diploma? What is your highest level of education before now? Your response will determine if it will be easy for you to get TRV or not.

Orlarshaynee:
Thanks for the prayers. I believe. Please where is part 1 of the thread? I need guide in applying for my study permit online. Thanks

You don't need to read part 1, just read from part 13 and you will be good to go. Check the first page of this part and you will see the link to the previous part, do same for every part to see the previous one... Good luck

Dreambig124:
Thanks for taking your time. The $25000 covers my tuition for 2 years and not just a year. Like how much do you think should be in my account when applying. I am trying not to sell the bitcoin I have now but if I really need to then I don’t mind selling some of it

If $25,000 is for 2 years tuition then your total funds for the entire program will be at least $45,000(at least $10,000/year for living expenses). So convert that to naira to have what is needed for your study (almost #13mil). If you can raise at least that then you are good to go with funds (no need for co-sponsor)

Purplestorm:
I might be wrong but I understand some countries frown at cryptocurrency business. Is Canada one of such?

I don't know about that, but he didn't rob anyone to make the money, he did business and made money from it. What he might not be allowed to do is tell CIC that he intends to pay further fees from the cryptocurrency business (that's if Canada isn't okay with the said business). All he is trying to do now is liquidate his assets(bitcoins) and use it to fund his studies. He is good with that

Dreambig124:
Thanks for taking your time
The total cost of my program is about $250000 with a duration of 2 years . How do I proof that? Do I need to print out some of my trading history? I can get some dating back to 2016 but not all, will that be a problem?
Can I use my brother who is in the US but he presently doesn’t have much in his account because he’s doing a project here in Nigeria, I was thinking of using him as a sponsor

Is the $25000/ year inclusive of living expenses or just tution fee? If it is inclusive then you can sponsor yourself because from calculation that will amount to $50,000(approximately #14mil), so you are good. But if the $25,00/year is just tuition fee then you need a co-sponsor and he/she needs to provide the balance of the fee.
As for your brother, since he is not a third party he can submit his letter of support stating how much he will be committing towards your study and he is required to have above that amount in his bank account (he doesn't have to transfer the money to you because he is your blood brother).
For the trading history, feel free to print every trade history you can get that relating to your business (they know online trading isn't a bad thing so don't be scared to show all that).
NB: Try to sell your bitcoins so you have cash in your account before you submit your app, because the vo will want to see raw cash in your account not investment (bitcoins)

Dreambig124:
Good day everyone. I have been following this thread closely but not as a registered member and I want to thank everyone for the contribution on this thread, I have really learnt a lot.
Please I will need your advice on my application for student permit. Is it advisable for me to apply as a self sponsor for my program. I’m 22 years old and I have managed to save up to 9 million, I have been saving in that account for over 3 years in order for me to sponsor myself to Canada. I presently have close to 10 million saved in form of cryptocurrency together making up 19million naira. I was lucky to buy and keep bitcoin before I got admission into the university because I spent a year at home before getting admission. Is it wise for a 22 year old to apply as a self sponsor? If yes how do I prove to the vo source of funds. I can still try to get some of my transactions on different website dating back to 2015/2016 but not all. I am confused and need your advice

Self sponsorship isn't bad but you will be required to provide funds for the entire duration of your program (i.e if you program is for 2 years CIC will need you to provide funds for the whole 2 years which can be much), but in the case of having a co-sponsor, all you need do is show funds for 1 year and your co-sponsor or sponsor showing proof of his/her business or source of income to convince the vo that your second year funds will be available when the time comes.
So the question now is, what is the duration of your intended program? Will your 19mil be enough to cover everything?
As for the proof, you can explain that you are into online trading + cryptocurrency (and show proof of some of your transactions).

Judoski007:
Please is it possible to visit Canada with a visitor visa and get admission before the visa expires,if yes,what process is required to translate visitor visa to study visa

As a Nigerian you can not convert visitor's visa to study in Canada. You can secure admission while in Canada but will have to exit to a country where you are legally residing to make your application. Though you can apply online while in Canada but will have to exit to a country where you are legally residing to do your biometric.
NB: Your processing time will be that of the country of residence

sashaa:
Can you please explain more @the bolded?
I thought it's work experience that gives one experience?

Studying in Canada will give him that experience as well (his research while studying will give him that). Also, the companies in Canada know how good the schools are there so that alone opens doors for you to be invited for interviews (though you will still need to prove yourself during the interview). Some companies might be scared to employ someone without Canadian education (especially if he/she doesn't have any work experience).

NwanyiOkpa:
Hello everyone, i just want to be clear on something.

After studing in canada, what are my chances of staying back, living and working in canada?

You will get a 3 year PGWP(post graduate work permit) if your program is two years and above, with that you can start working in Canada and with that you can work and live there

taiwo92:
Hallo guys, please I have some questions

Am currently studying in Germany for my Msc and will soon finish but I want to move to Canada but I don't know which one will give me soft landing from there two options
1. Through studies (another masters or PhD)
2. Through work

Both are okay, but study should be better because it gives you the "very important Canadian work experience". Going for EE is a good option as well, especially if you have the experience that will make you slide into the Canadian system with ease. So it is a win win for you(whichever you pick)

sashaa:
If it's his first application then it's possible the agent has not submitted his application. From the information on this thread, most people are asked to do biometrics after 24-48hours of submission. That's for online application. While for paper application, biometrics is done same day.
Please let him ask the agent for proof of application submission.

Yes it is possible the agent is yet to apply but sometimes it takes longer to get biometric mail, some cases might take even more than a month(though rare)

Alfarrouk:
Hello House,

Thank You for help so far, I'm just one step closer now.

I have been requested to submit my passport but my passport is only valid till Feb 2020.

I tried reissue or renew but it has to be valid for 6 months or less before that can happen.

School is in September. What can I do in this case? Submit the passport like that?

Thank you

Submit your passport like that, you will renew it when you enter Canada. Don't worry it won't be a problem for you

ihiteukwa:
studied Bsc Accounting.
going for MBA.
Work in a financial institution as Head of operation

Great, just try to work on your SOP

darrywhyte:
I thought as much.
Thanks a lot.
I studied political science and education BSc finished with second class upper 3.53.
Masters social studies education 3.90.

You have two options:
1. Study - apply for PhD and seek full funding from the school of another masters(though it will be harder to convince the vo with it than PhD)
2. Express Entry - Apply for EE and move to Canada and start working or you can go to school if you want when you get there(that's if you really want to study in Canada )

Great guru’s,
My Note is out, I sincerely need input on how to tackle the reasons for refusal by the VO. I am gainfully employed and have another business which is managed by my spouse. tuition fee is 30kCAD and i have 3times the balance, no bulk payment. I think the major issue here is my SOP(my view) and will need help.

‘’taking applicants plan of studies into account, the applicant does not appear to be sufficiently well established that the proposed studies would be reasonable expense. The applicant’s plan of studies appear vague and poorly documented. According to applicant’s current and future employment prospect, I have accorded less weight to their employment ties to the r country’.

frankrobin, julesiki, chukwuemkatehi,mcobex,okonkwobestman1,juswise and all other gurus

Yes a good SOP will go a long way, but first can you share your profile let me see? Like, your previous and intended courses, the year you got your first degree(if any)....

darrywhyte:
Hello my people, please I need an advice on immigration to Canada, I have a masters degree here in Nigeria, after due conversation with my agent, I was advised to go for a BSc program because am still 26 years old, am confused here that if I get to Canada will I be able to secure a good job after my degree and still study further, because I have a state government job here and I don't want to lose and roaming about in Canada.
Please your advice will go a long way.

On what grounds is your agent giving you such advice? I think you should run away from him because I don't think he means well for you. He didn't even ask you to go for another masters or at least PGD but bachelor's degree.
Well, state your profile here let's see(what course did you study for Bsc and masters, also what was your grade for both?)

olalemii:
Someone should kindly help with this

It will slide. But the best way you can convince a vo is for your sponsor to show commitment by paying the funds into your account or pay your fees before you apply for visa, that way you might not really need affidavit.

Ibitowaoa:
I have not withdraw my student/university application. I still have my application ON, I have only withdrawn my tuition deposited.

Okay, cool. Congratulations once again

Ibitowaoa:
Gurus and Everyone,
I want to appreciate you for all the advice and possible solution giving to me. I am grateful and I say thanks to you. I have done me medical and it’s passed, also my biometrics is already updated too.
Medical Passed—-26th of July, 2019.
Please what’s the next step now ?

Now you wait for your approval which can come in any moment from now. Hope you contacted your school to let them know of your change of heart (that you will be coming this fall)?

Phatkings:
The full amount of two years or just one year

Yearly will be enough, mind you if your sponsor is a third party (not parents or sibling) he must show commitment by either paying your tuition fee before you apply for visa or transfer the funds to your personal bank account

Oganammuo:
Thank you very much. I have a business, registered and doing well. We intend printing two or three months SOA, cos it will be much. I don't want to print my personal statement. What if I give him as a gift and prepare a gift deed? Will it be OK?

Gift of deed will be okay. As for your personal and business SOA, showing them will go a long way to convince the vo that you are comfortable and won't have issues coping while your husband is studying. Also, it will serve as home-tie for your husband (you and your business)

Phatkings:
Good morning pls is it necessary for me to get explain how much my sponsor pledges to support me with in my letter of purpose and also the closing balance of his accounts.... Thank you

Very necessary

Rampssss1:
Please I applied for Visa In May, as a result of no reply from the embassy I linked my application to an online account in July and I saw this 'We did not receive the results of your required medical exam. Check your medical exam request message for details'. And I haven't gotten any mail or message concerning medicals. How do I go about this please.

send an email to them immediately because it seems they have sent you medical invitation mail . Contact CIC immediately

Oganammuo:
Pls gurus in d house, advice me on the best way to go about this. I want to transfer 2m into my Hubby's account as my support. What do I present as evidence?
Is it compulsory I must print my account statement?
Or should i write a letter of support and sign it?

NB. He is the one applying.

If you are acting as his co-sponsor then you should write a letter stating that's the amount you are supporting him with, but if you don't want to act as his co-sponsor your husband can just include in his SOP that he lend you the money sometime ago and you paid back because he wants to use it for his studies. The transaction needs to be explained so the vo doesn't see it as lump sum.
NB: if you have money in your account it will be best if your husband include your SOA, that will go a long way to convince the vo you will be well taking care of when your husband travels. Also you should include your source of income (working or business) to buttress your point

olalemii:
Hello guys

I might be having an issue, I discussed the latest development with my uncle and he doesn’t seem to be able to handle that amount for now, he is suggesting if his wife can also be a co sponsor ..

If yes, would they share the same affidavit and letter of sponsorship?

Thanks

It depends on what they decide on, the wife can transfer the money to you then they write a joint letter of support stating they are sponsoring you and have separately showed commitment by paying and transferring your fees to you(by stating the date they made the transactions).

NwanyiOkpa:
What about if i just address it to whom it may concern?

What are you trying to hide from your former lecturers? You need their help here and you are trying to hide things from them. How will they help you without knowing the purpose for which they are writing the letter ? @kcosam has given you the best and straightforward way to go about it

docsaj:
You're joking, thought it would be cheaper getting a laptop over there

Not everything is cheap. And what she was trying to say is the tax she paid for the laptop she bought, but applies to everything you buy unlike in Nigeria where we buy things freely without being properly taxed for them
