Please my program has a 6 month coop placement. When I want to apply for my study visa, is there a way to apply for the coop work permit specially or I just go about the application normally

In the questionnaire before you start the main application, you will be asked if there is "work requirement in study", you tick yes. When you get to uploading documents make sure you still upload your acceptance letter in that tab. This is because your letter of acceptance states you need a work requirement or placement during the course of your studies.

Adetayoade1:
please sir pertaining to a letter of reference from a former employer what kind of headline can I give it “Letter of reference “?? or how do I put the heading as ?

The heading or title of the letter could read any of the following:

1)Employment Verification For "your full name"

Or

2) Reference Letter in Favour of "your full name"

3) Proof of Employment for " your full name"

Greetings trust you are doing great
Please an applicant whose sponsor is to pay 28k that’s tuition and living expenses and also Another 16k that’s for tuition and living expenses
Totaling it to 44,000CAD
Please how much can he show in his statement of account that his fit to sponsor both parties

From info obtained on this thread, I believe after your 44,000 CAD is subtracted he should have a substantial balance but this depends:
If the sponsor is your immediate family(mom, dad or sibling) and has good source of income, balance won't be an issue. Also how many dependents does this sponsor have? Will sponsoring you affect his personal welfare or his dependents if his has any? What is the relationship btw you two? And why is he bringing out such a huge sum of money to sponsor you? All these are queries that need to be answered. I believe the more experienced ones on this thread would shed more light on what i have said. Cheers.

Good morning house,
I’m still yet to get a reply on this. Would appreciate any I can get.
Thanks everyone .

My brother, the LOE should be uploaded to the client information section while other supporting documents should come after it like employment letters, transcripts, nysc etc. Are you a first time applicant? PM me for a sample guide for LOE. Cheers

Naijaforeigner:
I got your PM. Unfortunately, I wont be able to respond because I have reached the maximum number of people I can respond to via mail. I apologise.

However, If you ask here, I will respond. Thanks.

Good evening bro. How are you doing? hope you are staying safe out there.

I was approved in February & subsequently received my stamped last month before the lockdown. I need proper and thorough guidance about life in Canada. I will be going to halifax, nova Scotia in fall 2020. I have a few questions:

1) On arrival in Canada, should I live closer to school or closer to my part-time work place? I want to take my studies very seriously cos that is my only ticket to PR while working the 20 hours/week. Please I need ur candid advice.
2) Tuition & LE won't be a problem, My plan was finding a room in a house and moving into a studio or one bedroom when my wife &child arrive through SOWP as I intend applying for them 2 months after my resumption?
3) My budget for housing when I arrive is 450-650, then whenever my family arrive 600-700 for a one bed room apartment if I can find. Please advise?
4) Finally, whats the pattern of study over there? More assigments and less lectures or more practicals ? Cos in naija we are used to theory theory & theory. Lol

Thanks & looking forward to your reply.

PeterDre:
Good morning house, sorry I am new here and I have read a lot about student visa applications. Its quite informative. Thank you all for your guidance, God bless.

@nochyks87. Please bro, I do like to use my brother as a sponsor and I will appreciate if you can help with the sponsors doc you use and advise. Since you used your brother-inlaw.

Thanks

Send me a PM

Zika123:
Hi just mellow good afternoon, please can I use my brother in law as my sponsor,though he is helping my father control the business because they have been working together for long now.

Please go ahead and use ur brother-in-law. Just make sure u state why he's spending so much on you and throw light on your relationship with him over the years. For the record, I used my brother-in-law and got approval this February. Nothing is impossible with CIC. Just believe God.

@NaijaForeigner please check your PM. Thanks.

Good day house,
I’m just about to start my online application and I’m filling the first questionnaire. I intend to call up the provided panel physicians and request for an upfront medical. My question is that in the section where they ask if I’ve done an IRCC medical in the last 12 months, am I to pick no?
Cause my line of thought is that if I do pick no, as I haven’t yet, does that mean I have to do a requested medical now?
I’m just trying to beat time, as little as I can..
Thank you all very much.

At the moment, upfront medical is suspended according to IRCC. So u have to apply and wait for a medical request. All the best

governorudeh:
Someone told me that my Sponsor must bear my surname.

Please, gurus how truthful is it?

That's a lie. Your sponsor is not mandated to have the same surname with you. You must have to show why the person is willing to spend so much on you and prove the relationship btw you two, be it brother-in-law, close friend or distant relative. In addition, you need to show proof in terms of school fees reciept or house rent reciept etc if the person has assisted you financially in the past(If applicable).

Crystalheart:
Good afternoon guys

I am about to reapply and want to confirm if I will have to create another account on CIC or I can start another application on the previous account?

Thanks

No need to create a new account. Just use the previous one and be sure to include the previous UCI number given to you in your former application. All the best.

Blema111:
He didn’t say transcripts, it’s degree confirmation and They are different.

If it's degree confirmation, he should use the "iverification" still on the UNN website. I just did WES credential assessment for my wife so I have first hand info about this.

Dfazz:
Please I need help here

UNN now uses an online transcript package called "itranscript ". So u don't need to visit the school at all. U pay with your atm card. Visit the school website: unn.edu.ng. All the best

Markab:
Hello @nochyks87. Any news on your passport? Has your profile been updated with Counterfoil yet?

No news yet bro.

Ajibade105:
Does anyone know how much will be paid when one is submitting a passport when PPR is received? This is an online application

N7,430 for passport transmission and N11, 280(optional) for return courier if your not residing in Lagos or Abuja.

Studyabroad111:
Typical Nigerian.

You forgot to mention that you were denied before.

You forgot to mention that you included personal account and asset documents.

You just went ahead to say “ I used my brother in law blah blah , cousin sponsor is not a red flag”.

Reasons why Nigeria can never move forward

They only tell you the easy part but forget to mention the struggles behind it

Weh done sir

I think you are blind cos there are words/phrases like "2nd application" and "former application". And if u really needed more information on my previous denial why did you not go through my posts to see my testimony And also you can see addition of Joint account . Over sabi NIGERIAN

peaceful22:
I'm you guys senior colleague.... , submitted since 31 January.

LOL

mikeerrr:
Using your cousin's account is a red flag unless you can explain very well with your SOP why your cousin is sponsoring you over your husband.

I will advise you get a loan to add to what your husband has than use your cousins

Using your cousin is not a red Flag in my opinion. This is because on one on this thread has been or is in the minds of a visa officer. I have been through over 1000 pages of this threads. In my reading, I even saw a guy who used a total stranger's account statement and he was approved. Just establish a connection to your cousin and give reasons for his or her sponsorship. In My case, ppl said using a third-party sponsor is a red Flag but I still went ahead to use my brother-in-law and I got approved. Just do what your heart tells you. My opinion

Markab:
Good morning folks, Passport was sent and delivered to Canadian Embassy since Feb 17 and there has been no update till date. Is anyone here currently in the same boat? Please advise

Yes I believe there's a delay in passport stamping these days cos I submitted mine since Feb 10th and no update. So believe it's a general issue and not specific.

Dameelee:
hello!!
Please I need clarifications, I got an admission for a post graduate diploma in january but i'm yet to start visa processing, I also have an active express entry profile i recently just opened(about 2 weeks ago) Now my question is can this express entry profile be a problem to me getting my study visa when i apply?
Please i really need clarification..

You have the right to dual intent according to IRCC, this means that you can have an active express entry profile and still apply for a study permit. In My case I had and still have an active express entry profile and still got approval. All the best

Blema111:
I have read somewhere on this thread that you get PGWP once.

Yes you are correct and that is why most international students are advised to apply for another one year program after doing a year program to qualify them for a three-year PGWP. From research students qualify for PGWP once. I stand to be corrected.

wealth360:
Hi Everyone.

Its been a while I visited here. I believed we are chopping the TRV by God's grace.

Please can someone help me with this information. my dad was invited for biometrics, can he go there without booking appointments or he has to book?

Please is urgent.

I wish all TRV applicants successfully application.
@Frankrobbn1, I cite you brother. Welldone

If he's in Abuja, he doesn't need to book an appointment but if he's in Lagos he definitely needs to book an appointment.

Glasses1:
Passport Request! Status changed to 'Approved'!!....

I'll be back to give you a very long story (in a few days) when my passport reaches my hand back... but before then, I want to say this visa thing has no manual... Just God... you would relate well when I post my writeUp...

For now let me goan complete my thanksgiving..

Cheers!

Congrats

chigrad:
Hi all,
Is it ok if one has an express entry account and apply for study permit?
Or is it advisable to cancel the express entry account before applying for study permit.
Secondly if one decides to do upfront medicals, Does the hospital immediately send/upload the result to IRCC or can IRCC only get the result only when you have uploaded it?
I ask because someone said he/she did upfront medical but did not upload until it was requested for by IRCC, However I had the understanding that once you completed medicals, IRCC has access to it once the result is ready.
Please advise.

Firstly, you have the right to dual intent according to IRCC, this means that you can have an active express entry profile and still apply for a study permit. In My case I had and still have an active express entry profile and still got approval. Secondly, when you do an upfront medical, the hospital sends your result to the CIC database for easy access and during your application you upload the slip the hospital gave you as evidence. As per the person that didn't upload his/hers, it simply means the person did not do an upfront medical before applying. As a result, he/she did so after applying and is probably waiting for a medical request before uploading the slip. All the best.

Asapant:
For reapplication. Should my SOP and LOE be in a single document or seperate document.

What I have done is that after I've written my SOP. I left 7 lines and wrote my LOE both in a single document. I hope I'm not making mistake?

For my own reapplication, I wrote the LOE first, then merged the SOP in another page under it. So that once the VO opens it, he/she will first read how I adressed the previous refusal before reading the SOP.
Hope this helps

chybabie:
Please what is the full meaning of LOE, I see it being used alot here.

I was also refused last year for January 2020 intake and would like to re-apply for September 2020 intake.

When I requested for my GCMS note, it was stated that my reason for traveling to study abroad is vague, not properly documented and not convincing enough that I will return after study.

I did Agricultural Science as an undergraduate and have been working with Telecoms company for about 10 years. The course I applied for is PGCert in wireless networking which is related to my current field.

Please I need a guide on how to write an SOP that will convince the Visa officer.

Thanks and God bless.

I believe @Naijaforeigner has answered all your queries but if you feel you any more advice on how I handled my 2nd app you can indicate.

All the best.

Jetline:
Do I need to book an appointment with VFS before I submit my pas0sport?

No you don't need to. Just walk in and drop it.

Obehi44:
Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you.
But I want to ask, all these documents you submitted were they the same you submitted for the first application?
Was it the same sponsor with the both application?
Aside from writing an LOE to tackle the refusal reasons, what else or how else did you tackle the refusal reasons?

No. The land documents ,Joint account statements, pension statement, study leave approval letter were added in the new application.
Yes I used the same sponsor for the 2nd application.
I addressed the main reason for no travel history which was tight work schedules.
I explained in detail why I changed career path and how I have been fully absorbed into the new career. I listed the courses I needed from the Canadian curriculum and their benefits upon my return. In addition, I also explained about career/job prospects in home country and my plans to establish some projects to improve the existing environment. I then went ahead to upload my personal finances and property which I never used in the former application.
I hope this helps.

cliqtips:
Congratulations
Please can I get a copy of your LOE and SOP

Unfortunately, I cannot share my SOP and LOE with you due to plagiarism. But, I can a assist with the subheadings which would act as a guideline on what you will write. All cases are unique and different. Cheers

Honeypels:
Thanks for your prompt response. Congratulations once again

Please what's the meaning of SOWP? Thanks
