gideon19:
Good day all,

I just got admission to both Humber (1yr prog) and Seneca (2yrs prog) but looking forward to going with Seneca cos of the PGWP time which will be 3 years (Sept 2023 intake). The challenge now is that I won't be able to do Biometrics for now till like somewhere around July/August for some personal reasons.

Should I go ahead to accept the admission while I wait till July/August before starting with my application or inform the school about this event, pls?

Good morning house,
Pls, has any one pays for post graduate certificate programs through Zenith bank via Form A? or rather, does Zenith bank pay for graduate certificate via form A, because I learned that majority of people here used Eco, Gtb and Stanbic. Pls I need an urgent answer from whoever that have paid with Zenith.

DanielDriz:
Warm regards house, please I would love to know if anyone here is a student of Humber college in Toronto or an applicant, I would really love to be informed on some detailed matters in that regard, thanks

You can relate with me on this ☝️.

Do you mean a year tuition fee payment or the whole 2yrs payment?

I have been in such situation before, some bank restrict their multi currency card not to work on an open site, you'll need to contact the bank, fill a form and instruct them to open the card to allow you to make payments but they'll tell you at ur own risk as the card can be used by anyone that have access to it without requesting for OTP.

Meanwhile, you can confiscate the card or get another after you're done with the payment to safeguard the remaining money in ur Dom account. Thanks

This was my past experience with first bank.

coolangel54:
Good afternoon all,

Please, I need your help 🙏

I am about submitting my family visa application and when I wanted paying, system says "TRANSACTION DECLINED".

I am using a UBA USD Mastercard and it's already preloaded with funds (I have a dorm account with them and paid $15 to get the card).

I'm to pay 775 Canadian dollars and my dorm account has 667 USD.


Please, what exactly is the issue and why is my transaction being declined?

Make una help me abeg 🙏🙏🙏

Pls what program are you applying to pay for?
If it's graduate certificate I'll implore you to quickly apply with another bank, either Eco or Gtb as the payment will be declined. Speaking from experience n relationship with first bank.

ysth:

blkomo:
Hi NL,

It’s PPR…

I am writing this to contribute my bit because I actually got some knowledge from this trend.

I received my PPR on the last week after months of waiting. Below are my timeline and some details:

I submitted my application on the 10th September 2022 and did my biometrics on the 14th of September 2022.

I did upfront medicals and it was updated 19th of October after sending webforms to Nairobi.

After that the wait started.

When my application was exactly 12weeks old I started sending countless webforms to Nairobi and IRCC canada but no positive response was received.

I had to request GCMS notes on 16th November 2022 but still haven’t received it.

I later used a friend to contact an MP who then contacted IRCC on my behalf and they got back saying that my eligibility had started and that every other things is in order. Advising me to wait for them to update me.

I noticed that the day my eligibility started was the day the MP got back to my friend with the update.

2 weeks after my eligibility started I received my PPR.

My program is 8months and it is a Post Graduate Certificate program.

In other to contribute back to NL, I am willing to assist anyone with their admissions and questions if need be.

PS: I did my application myself and backed it with prayers and follows up

Thanks for this very great job, resources n insight.
It'll really be of great help n useful for people like us planing to apply as a family.

If I may ask, do you submit a separate SOWP sop letter for the spouse? as this address every question n cover expected suspicions or questions as why you are applying with your family.

olokings:
as a follow up to putting it out there, i will give an expose' to what my profile looked like and how i packaged my application. Long Post alert.

highlights of SOP and tactics for family visa application

start with a good self-introduction: - i prepared a very detailed SOP. this was intentional because i was putting up a family application of myself and 5 accompanying family members, hence what may be usually overlooked at for single applicants / those leaving their family members behind may not necessarily apply to me given i will be subjected to even more scrutiny.
I drafted my SOP with a clear table of contents, i wrote it with a title, sub-titles, and bolden+italics for points i needed to highlight of importance. i started my SOP with an introduction to myself as though a typical job interview [name, DOB, educational background, professional certification, career highlights, etc.] framework (it is an interview in a sense isn't it?) stating what my intent (to apply for a TRV [Study Permit], and my dependents' [Spousal Open Work Permit + Study Permit for kids]. I clearly mentioned the school, program, start & end dates with duration in months. (highlighted the attachment of LOA, Tuition Payment [in my case i deliberately paid full tuition because i needed to demonstrate financial stability since someone who is going with accompanying member should have that logically] with tuition payment acknowledgement from my school

To address the following: Why study in Canada? why not study in Nigeria? What are your educational goals? what will be the impact & value of the program you are going for study in your business / employment / future endeavours when you return to Nigeria? what are you job experience / skills gaps / career experience that warrants or establish the need for the study?
why the specific university / college chosen? - viewed from the lense of facilities, community, infrastructure, etc. : I further went to add a sub-title where i detailed my employment / carrer profile, an opportunity which i leveraged to deliberately tie the proposed post graduate study to my career progress, highlighting the benefits, value proposition, how acquisition of this additional educational credential will place me above my peer in the office, position me for executive, leadership, and management positions, foster my private professional practice to set up consult after my career (see how i am demonstrating what i will do when i return), how credential & skills documentation a very big differentiator in my office. I specifically highlighted that i have embarked on a post secondary study during the course of my professional career (reemphasizing the value proposition) and how my employer acknowledged the additional qualification (attached the letter) and i was able to participate for further promotion few years later (attached a doc. to this effect). I intentionally mentioned my under grad project and how it positioned me to excel at this current study (further arguing why the study).

Then i moved on to sub-title, "Reason for the Study and Choice of *** school Canada". I started with stating how the program aligns with my professional aspirations, skills i will gain, and the credential will demonstrate experience i have gained in the field for the period i have worked. I stated how the program in the specific school is specially designed for reasons given in the school website, how it resonates with my personal goals. I mentioned that i have sought an unpaid study leave from my employer which was granted (doc attached), how the school is well known for excellence in that course, the community is accommodating and encourage easy transition for international students, learning is experiential, not subject to reccurent strikes and industrial action, cultism et al (see what i did there, why canada & not nigeria), how i prefer to use the opportunity to experience the canadian culture, landscape and serenity which i have researched on the net, as it is a great place for families (see what i did there again?, tactically introducing why travelling with family), mentioned passively that i looked at Europe and west africa, however, based on personal reason (some of which i had mentioned) i prefer to pursue the study in *** school, in *** province, in canada. I also mentioned how the changes ongoing in the industry here in Nigeria warrants talents to upskills and develop further in other to be resilient et al... grammar grammar grammer but you get the gist.
i went on to detail the duration, course highlights and how i look forward to excelling with accelerated learning during the study to ensure that i finish with good grades, and on time in order for me and my family to return on **** date back and resume my employment and private freelance practice at home in Nigeria (see what i did there again?)


Now onto the biggest issue, to address What are your home ties? why are you travelling with the family for the study period?- viewed from the lense of Family, Economy, Financial, career prospects, etc. - i sub-titled "Reason for travel with family for study at *** school, province, *** canada: i introduced my spouse, how long we were partners (doc attached), how we are very close and depend on one another for everything (see what i did here, setting the floor why i cannot be without her), highlighted various endeavours we have embarked on together as partners, both academically, professionally, and socially. gave some reasons here and there what we have done to ensure a stable and single unit family, mentioned / introduced our kids all 4 of them, mentioned our property (just one) which we developed together (added property valuation report), and how we love our home. highlighted that we are fully commited to co-parenting, maintaining a single functional family unity for the development of the kids psychologically, emotionally, mentally, academically, etc. because young ones are super impressionable hence we cannot leave them with anyone other than ourselves to raise (see what i did there again, we must do it together & can give them to any one else, appealing to the human nature of the VO tactically). talked about the personal aspiration of my partner. specifically mentioned that i need my family to be physically present with me during the study for emotional support, will provide my partner the opportunity to further pursue her personal goals of self achievement since she will be working whether paid / unpaid to practice skills in a flexible schedule, and i will be happy enough to perform exceptional well academmically (see the idea there now?). i mentioned that i have research *** province, and looked up schools there which fit my kids' educational needs, afterwhich i contacted one and notified them of my intent (attached communique docs, kids passed term results, etc.) and they are ready to accept my kids as soon as we land.

Now, because, my third child (only) was birthed in the US, i mentioned that on *** date, i embarked on family vacation where we had our child (introduced him) in the states, and as a family tradition of witnessing all my kid's birthing, i was present with the siblings. however i highlighted that we ensured that the birthing process was self-pay and in order to ensure that we are not financially indebted to the US govt. we acquired all zero balance receipts for all aspects of the medical procedures (attached everything!!!) after which we returned to Nigeria as soon as the child was cleared for international travel (see what i did there to demonstrate authenticity of return). I further stated that, since i am the primary provider for the family, it will be counterproductive to leave them behind and be sending funds when i am a student with limited working hours myself, hence my resolve to travel with them. I also mentioned that during our stay, the whole family shall be covered by comprehensive insurance to the tune of $****** (attached each persons insure cert), hence we shall not be a burden to the canadian or provincial govt. during the **** months before we return back to nigeria (by now you are seeing the tactics).

in a sub "head proof of home ties" note the flags - i argued that i am employed with **** for *** no. of years (to demonstrate stability), stated my gross annual earnings converted in $CAD which are backed up by paystubs, mentioned the future financial prospects when i return as per promotion at my place of work, stated that my employer although granted me study without pay there is a 100% reabsorbtion rate for study leave returnees, mentioned that i still have over 20yrs of career growth ahead of me hence the motivation to return and continue to climb up the corporate leadership ladder. i also mentioned my financial indebtedness to my bank where i recieve my salaries and how i need to return and reactivate my salaries in order to close out my indebtedness and enjoy my full gratuity and pension when i eventually retire. mentioned when i can access my pension, the physical requirements to process my gratuity (mentioned the amounts), my life insurance (mentioned the amount) which can only kick in if i pass in service and how this secures my family (see the tactic there again, reiterating family commitment). mentioned our jointly built home with value in $CAD. Mentioned my aged mother, & in-laws whom i support financially from time to time whilst specifically highlighting the medical conditions that required routine check up and treatments. mentioned my freelance business practice which just kicked up and how it can grow further with adequate skills documentation, mentioned my professional certifications, small businesses that my partner runs etc.

then i wrapped up with saying how the whole duration for the post study program is one big family vacation & bonding time which will create lasting memories for the kids and my partner which is one of my personal goals after we return on **** date back to Nigeria, hence i have made $CAD****** available for the period to cover tuition and living expenses whether partner works or not (see the closing there right?)

what is your travel history (if your have)? - mention all visa denials with reasons, give one liners to the why you made those travels to demonstrate that you are mostly intentional in all of your ventures. - i talked about all the little little family trips we have taken, both intra&international, even the small ones in my community corner where we have our home (all to demonstrate that we move together and not always without - further burtressing the single family unit mindset). attached each family member travel visa history pages. i mentioned the two denials we have had specifically France in 2014, and USA in 2021 when we wanted to birth our last (4th) child [i was intentional with this because we were interview for medical tourism and denied based on eligibility not met, so if i am not upfront with this, and during info sharing, USA agency flags this, i may be seen as misrepresenting / lieing, so be tactful].

Now onto the mother of them all---- what is your proof of means of financial support (POF)? - state amounts to show tuition + living expense (for full duration of program) + miscelleanous expense + buffer + flight ticket (return). mention any and all spikes in your transactions (lump sums), mention any loan obligations shown as deductions in your accounts (you can even use them as home ties) --- I started with stating that i and my wife will be co-sponsoring this initiative and attached our ONE YEAR bank statements (MBS). stated the source of funds as salary, consulting commissions, partner's sales income, employee emoluments, and other personal excesses.
Explained every LUMP SUM (excess of N1m creditted into the account, even employer payments) with verifiable evidences and refernce.
Now you need to note that the whole money used for POF was credited into the account exactly 9 days before i submitted my application, and the account was less than N100K worth before then. so what did i do, i didnt pay my tuition from my account, instead i took a loan from a lender, had them pay the money into a colleagues account, and have him process Form A to pay my full tuition for me. I added the tuition receipt and included the cost in my PoF. then, i had a couple of projects i was developing for my employer which they paid to me, (altough that money was to be expended to other team beneficiary by me) i held the money for 3 weeks after applying then disbursed. by the time i disbursed, the account went back to less than N4m which i further disbursed into my crypto wallet. And yes, i used my crypto wallet value as part of my PoF. i simply screenshot my crypto portfolio, my profile page, trade history, crypto platform's email confirmation of trades, email confirmation of credit & debit alerts into & out of my personal account based on crypto trade.
Then i prepared a table showing our financial plan for the *** period of stay in *** province, in canada
i started with stating how much our total PoF is $CAD85,000.00 required for all 6 of us.
aspects of the table includes; program tuition, one year cost of living, extra months remaining cost of living, miscellaneous, flight tickets (return). total the full expense costs. Added a line for amounts paid (tuition), and calculated the outstanding expendition. Added a line for Cash in Bank (PoF) in $CAD, and another line for guaranteed future receipts/income, and another line for fund reserves based on digital crypto wallet in $CAD. i quoted this because i didnt want it to be that we are spending the whole of our life savings on study trip.
I added a remarks under the table that i converted the Naira to $CAD at CBN rate, but i converted monies in the Dorm accounts to Naira at prevailing black market rates of US$1 - N580 because using this rates will boost the monies.
Then i closed up by saying that the amounts will enable my whole famliy to comfortably live in *** province even if my partner and i didnt work, considering also the fact that i have paid my full tuition (with attached receipt) for the program.

I further added a sub-title were i use bullet points to explained each lump sumps for the one year period, and clarified all my funding sources.

i added a sub-title where i listed all documents attached to the application as categorised.

then i went on to Criminality Background Check, Conclusion, and Prayer: - i stated that during the stay in canada, i and my family will be at ***** province, for ** months starting from *** data to *** date after which we will return to Nigeria on *** specific date to resume my active service with my employer while my partner will return to ***** her personal engagements.

i highlighted that i have a clean record in my home country and place of employ for *** years, and fully commit to conducting myself ethically wherever i am. i further made a commitment statement that i and my family will blah blah blah during our stay and maintain the scope limits of the visas if granted, as well maintain / adhere to any & all governing laws + regulations of canada.

signed my prayers.

PS: also included is letter of sponsorship from my partner to me stating her commitment to co-sponsor this endeavour financially during our stay in the province. i also gave her a co-sponsorship letter doing the same thing in her Letter of Purpose.

caveat: Ayam not a guru / agent / SOP writter / Review. so i will prefer any and all kweshiuns be put up here so the family can collectively attend to it.

na work i no get make me type this epistle as i dey wait make class time reach. lazy man sitdon dey look NL. lol

Best of luck to every one.

bullstriker:
1.You will be a self-sponsor if the company transfers the funds to you without submitting the bank statement. It would be better for the company to transfer to your wife’s account so she can be an eligible sponsor since she is a co-owner. Then, with strategic planning and a proper explanation of the funding received from the school, you can use the funds available to resolve this financial issue.

2. It is part of the proof of funds. Forgive me for saying I believe your application was poorly submitted. The onus is on you to demonstrate how you intend to pay for subsequent years; ‘dumping’ the funding letter in your application without a thorough explanation can leave the VOs with no choice but to deny applications.

3. You can convert it to a jpeg or use the GCkey account to submit it. With a GCKey account, you can upload up to 4MB.

4. Great. No issue regarding career progression.

5. I can help you order the CBSA note. It takes 30 days or less.

6. You can use the same account. If you used the new portal, I would recommend the GcKey account so you can upload more documents.

7. Yes, you must.

To contact me, click Bullstriker, then click ‘Send Email to Bullstriker.’ You can send me a mail after I respond to the email. Also, when you visit my profile, you will see other ways to contact me.

Good evening Sir, thanks for all you being doing on this great platform, you've really been of great help.
Pls I want you to help me order for my CBSA note as I was recently refused a study permit that I submitted along with my family. (A Sowp n a visitor visa for my two kids.).

My Employer..
And I submitted the company 6 months SOA together with my 4 months saving account SOA with lots of other documents.

Drepee:
who was your sponsor?

I would advise you to pay ur tuition deposit as fast as possible n send the receipt through webform as this might be the reason for delay, it can cost you your study permit as this was why I was refused just 2 weeks ago after 4+months of waiting (6/1/2023) Saying they are not sure I can pay the tuition without working in Canada.

My candid advice to people now is to try as much as possible to pay the tuition deposit before submitting a study permit application, though a study permit can be approved without a tuition deposit receipt but on a rare occasion. Thanks

matthew080:

danherb:

Thanks

Good evening house.
Has anyone be able to pay for graduate certificate programs lately at any bank other than Eco bank via Form A?

I am in a tight corner as my tuition deposit deadline at Humber College is fast approaching and my Form A was just recently declined by First bank after weeks of waiting. Reason being that they don't fund graduate certificate programs but bachelor's degree, masters n PhD. Now I want to initiate another Form A at a different bank but want to be sure of the successful outcome before I embark on it.
Thanks

Do you use Form A for the tuition deposit and @ which bank?

GoodofNaija:

The Visa officers treat them the same way as of pg diplomas and masters. They grant visas for them too as long as you can prove your study purpose and funds.

I just got visa for a similar program despite over 15 years study gap.

So pls go ahead and apply!

Congratulations.
Which school and what program (Certificate or diploma)?
Were you able to pay the tuition via Form A at Gtb?

I have a similar case is why I am asking?

Reason : Insufficient fund

I quickly rearrange my sop and transferred all my fund at stannic mutual to GTB and I paid my fully school fees tuition.

9th August 2022, sent in new application
Another long wait. So I had to defered my study to September 2023.

gideon19:
Good day all, please I applied to Humber college for the Human Resources Management course on the 4th of Dec and still awaiting an admission decision.

It will be well appreciated if I can get other school recommendations, please.

I am targeting Sept 2023.

Humber admission application process timeline is 8-10 weeks and usually send out their first batch admission offer by February 1.

Meanwhile, you can also lookout for SENECA, CENTENNIAL or GOERGE BROWN COLLEGE, they are all a high repute college in Toronto, ON. Best of luck �.

Pls house.
I learned that it take about 24hr after eligibility start for a visa to be refused as regards to Canadian study permit and once the eligibility is taken days/weeks the chances of been approved is high. How true is this?
