Have you tried access bank card?

Muslimity:
Please, I need help so urgently.

I have very limited time to submit my online visa application but all the ATM cards to do the payment are being declined. One of the cards (GTbank) said the reason for the declining is that $235CAD exceeds the limit of $100 web-based transaction daily limit.

@Everyone: Please, help me with suggestions on how to make this online visa application payment.

Thanks,

They can emboss the stamp on a red paper so the image will appear on a pdf document

Thanks for this info. Please, kindly share the link on how I can contact the lawyer that signed and affixed the seal on this PDF custodianship declaration form.

Thanks in anticipation.

Hello Mokenn,

AirBnB might be your easiest option oh for accommodation, plus my friends who have used it said it's cheaper and better.

Safe journey and all the best...

Ikechuqu:
What I mean is that you can in parts but have to complete the total amount for the tuition payment by the Jan 4th deadline.

I’ve attached a screenshot of the reply I got when I had a similar situation.

Ikechuqu:
Hi, I applied to Algonquin as well.

I had a similar situation when I applied first time in 2018 where I could not pay the first semester fees an had to forfeit the admission. You can pay part but have to complete the payment before the deadline or the admission will be forfeited.

I’ll advise you to make the payment if you can otherwise move the admission to winter 2022 and hopefully they’ll give a longer deadline.

Best of luck

If you don’t expect money from other sources or persons, yes your money is too small and your boy is too young to hustle. Don’t make his life miserable by sending him here without enough financial support. It is another talk if he chose this by himself because he may then see reasons to fight for himself. Yes, he will need to be a fighter to survive based on your current financial status and decisions to take him far from his aunt.

If you are looking for alternative,

Can you immigrate? If yes, this may be a cheaper alternative and you will here to support his schooling financially and emotionally.

If no, can you get a diploma admission, two years commitment instead? Your savings will go a long way for the first year and you can use that time to save for the second year or at least get a loan to cover up.

If diploma is also not an option, can you please get him admission around your aunt? At least he can live with her and she will feed and house him if necessary. You also have to consider if they, the aunt and him, have the capacity to live with one another peacefully.

If no again, do you plan to sell properties or take loan to cope with the four year commitment of bachelors degree?

Your salary is not enough for his tuition without adding accommodation and feeding. You also considering adding his mum and brother to the application. How do you want them to cope? Some people do this thinking they are helping, but end up breaking their family.

Throwing him to Canada without enough money and social support will be a very bad idea. Studying in Canada is hard. Young lads don’t usually have the strength to understand and cope with it. Studying in Canada is challenging enough, don’t make his life miserable.

Consider your options carefully So you don’t regret the decision you make now. You have asked questions and repeated some of them multiple times. You have to make a choice and be ready to face the consequences.

All the best.

Go ahead and apply with a co sponsor.

State that you have set aside xxxx amount for his first year of study and you will continue to support him for subsequent years

Co sponsor will state her relationship to ur son and also state that she will support him for the first year with Bleep amount and continue to be jointly responsible for him with his father for the remaining years.

Make sure the amount you both state for the first year will collectively and sufficiently cover his first year tuition plus first year living expenses.

Then attach you and the co sponsor employment or business docs payslips bank statements assets, to show where monies will be coming from and also show that amount you said u have set aside for the first year.

Let his mum dad and siblings form part of his hometies.

Kekereekun123:
my advice to you start saving for his masters

Spotlights:
Yes you can.
It's even the best at times, that would qualify him for family ties then the genuineness of his intention to study.
Try and pay for his homestay as well

Kekereekun123:
most people here use students loans for university here. How much does the aunt earn to be able to sponsor someone who is not her child. With your financial capabilities let him study in Nigeria while you save for his masters there. I doubt any visa officer will even allow this to scale through

Kekereekun123:
3.6m annual salary is small for a private uni like covenant ota talkless of Canada. even if granted how will you pay his year 2 to 4 fees. fear God o

@Muslimity

Reading through your note! (Basked on my understanding)

A young child of 15yrs should and must be with a custodian.
As it is, definitely you should be the primary sponsor as since you are capable.
1. Using many sponsors would send a wrong impression to the VO of your incapability
2. Your wife and a younger kid going with him would be for a limited time (just for him to settle down) and it wouldn't be adviced not to use a certified custodian since he is small.
Remember the possibility of staying with your wife's Aunt in that far distance as mentioned (The VO would/ may help him decide that his purpose ain't legit to study going through such distance everyday- sounds untrue)
3. The letter could rather state that your Contact in canada would at anytime provide for him his needs (expenses, check ups, well being etc since she in same country with him)

4. Having such a profiled contact in canada sounds good and tricky as she could accommodate/ harbour all of you whilst you're in canada and not to return home anymore (Remember the purpose of family ties, what makes you return to your home must be well proven)

I'd suggest if you could just skip your Canadian contact, pay for his homestay while your wife and the other child present an hotel to stay in the application (Not to look desperate or tryna run away.... No point giving the VO reasons to doubt eligibility)

Your Canadian contact to reimburse your account instead just for you to show enough prove of funds needed.

Any other advice is welcome

@frankrobbn1.
I reason with your points and at the same time, I am bringing to your notice that my brother was refused SP January 2020 based on Family ties and not convinced he would leave canada after his studies. (A 15yr boy)

I reapplied for him on 14feb and he just got his AIP on 5th Aug even before the AIP letter, IRCC requested that he should send a notarized parents consent letter allowing him to stay with a custodian as it wasn't submitted initially, just the Canada custodian letter alone was attached and after few weeks the AIP letter came through.

Osemigho:
3 sponsors too much In my opinion.

Does the Canada aunt live or own a house close to his school? If yes, let her be the second sponsor and guidance. She will write a letter that he would live with her. How many people does she live it? Is there a vacant room for him? What does the aunt earns? How many dependents? What is her relationship with your son?Etc.

Those are some critical questions to she need to answer in her letter and support with documents. Mentioning aunt is not enough. Back it up with birth and marriage certificates as necessary. If the aunt doesn’t live close to his school, you may want to look for another school in her city or town.

Why is his mother and brother accompanying him tough? Is it a temporary thing or what? If I can ask these question, VOs would likely do too. Please consider that. Perhaps you want him to apply alone first or with his mum alone. The mum can say she would follow temporarily to ensure he gets there safely and softly. How long is she going to stay? who will host her along her son? What’s the budget for her own temporary stay?


The uncle is France sponsorship is something else. He is far from his proposed school and doesn’t have direct relationship with him. If I was the one, I would leave him out as a sponsorship. However, he can give or loan you some money to build your account.

Since you have more than a year to resumption and 6m saved. I would advise you to take about 4-6 months to build your account to 10m. uncle in France can give you money and you will deposit it in bits or open a six month fixed deposit due before his resumption.

Another thing to consider is your assets and source of income. How did you raise the 6m is as important as the money itself? Can you afford to continue paying his fees? What is your yearly income? How many dependents do you have?

Young folks are forgiven a lot in terms of course and program, but sponsor is always a big issue for them. In my personal experience with GCMS evidence, I see that VOs like parents or older siblings to be their sponsor and they should have yearly income in millions. 8-10m balance is good with partial or full tuition paid. Tuition payment is not compulsory though. I also notice it doesn’t matter if they are going for two year diploma in college or 4 years program in University.

My comments are based on my experience and knowledge. It may not be your reality. All the best.

Muslimity:
@Osemigho and other Gurus: please help me throw more light around the issue of sponsorship. As his father, should I position myself as the primary sponsor while his uncle in France and his aunt in Canada be the secondary sponsors? One year tuition and living expenses for him, his accompanying mother and younger brother (8 yrs old) is #11m, and all my savings till date is #6m. With this amount, am I in best position to be the primary sponsor or his aunt ( a Canadian citizen) whose savings is probably bigger than mine should be the primary sponsor while I serve as the co-sponsor? Can the three of us (myself, his maternal aunt and uncle) be the sponsors, hope 3 sponsors is not to much?

Osemigho:
Young folks are forgiven a lot. The biggest foul play will be sponsor. It is best if parent or siblings sponsor him. Also make sure your POF is tight. All the SOP and LOE no be big matter for young people like him. It is the parent job to submit tight sponsor documents and letter of support. If you still want him to add LOE, let him write a short one by himself and review it. You need to let him write in his words, while you ensure he touches the whole application,

1. Why he wants to study what he is gong for

2. Who is sponsors are and the relationship.

3. What he plans to do upon his return e.g. NYSC and others.

All the best.

AIP is for Fall 2020 applicants alone. He can apply now but they won't prioritise the application.

Your best bet should be Masters since you have a lot of experience in Oil and Gas. Here are few schools that offer masters in Chemical Engineering. https://www.mastersportal.com/study-options/269352992/chemical-engineering-canada.html

Hello Muslimity,

IRCC gave until September 15. You should captivate on this opportunity. The current PT is 25 wks. There is an option to defer and IRCC won't refused an application based on incomplete document(s). People are getting updates before 2 - 3wks. The indians taking most of the spot are now few. If you are a risk taker without dreading the consequence, then in my opinion, go ahead.

All the best

Hello Younghero2,

As it is, there is nothing you can do other than to wait till VFS office reopens. Failure to give biometrics or submit other supporting documents won't be used as a medium to refuse your application. The 90 days timeframe will automatically be extended.

All the best

Please am about to start the skilled worker immigration process for me and my family. Pls which is easier and faster. Canada or Austrialia

hifyty:
Thank you. Many of the PNPs are beginning to be processed with Speed too. I presented my six months statement of Account. so many people used their 25% Pension Funds to augment their POFs and they were also nominated.
