Pls I need honest advice for someone who already has a Netherlands MSc degree with no solid work experience since 2015 but has a small start-up company in Nigeria and want to relocate to Canada, can he apply for a Postgraduate Diploma course and not have issues regarding visa grant? Cos he cannot pay for another MSc and would like to go for a programme without thesis since he already has acquired SUCH in Netherlands. He just needs a professional certificate but should be recognised by the Canadian embassy for visa. Can someone please say if he should apply for studies again and is it true that students who do not make an initial deposit for their tuition will be sent back home at Canada airport even if it is a no=deposit programme ?

Can someone please post the new full requirements for study visa application if you want to self fund or use a sponsor?

For example, will the sponsor have to provide evidence of landed property and tax certificate if he already has CAC document?

If it is a limited liability company, will the sponsor have to show evidence of relationship ties with shareholders and attestation of birth certificate/ notarized relationship affidavit with the sponsor?

If it is self-funded and you have your own company, but you have zero balance in the current account but money in your savings and will you have to show proof of former employment places that were listed in your CV before you set up your company etc?

I am just reading different requirements requested here and there please I want one or two persons to please list the detailed requirements for Canada Postgraduate Study Visa (single person), Conference and Tourist visa (single person) as of 2023 so I know how to prepare the documents and which pathway to choose based on the availability of documents for any of the visa type.

Thanks

Thank you for your reply. Long term effect as in how please, That is why i came here to find out things i need to know so they do not encounter any problems.

@ashirioluwa & @josephb

Oh! Thank you for your honest replies. We are grateful for this direction.

Okay now, for the guy who had an MSc from a top university in Netherlands, he has tried Canada EXPRESS ENTRY but to no desirable results for years so what should he apply for to enter Canada LEGITIMATELY & QUICKLY since work visa from Nigeria is almost impossible and also does not have family ties in Canada and not yet married:

Should he apply for:
a) Conference visa as a listener and his visa applications be approved
b) or a professional MBA/ Executive MBA (is he eligible for this and can he choose a cheap one and not be denied a visa)
c) Tourist visa

2) There is a couple who are planning to travel and want me to also throw their plight on this platform:

Husband only has an undergraduate degree (BSc) from a Nigerian University; Wife had both BSc and MSc in the UK plus a discontinued MSc without thesis Programme in Turkey in 2019. In addition, the wife has a small family-owned start-up company whose services are mainly done online.

They consulted with a travel agent. The husband wants to apply for a postgraduate diploma in Canada. Is he eligible to enroll for such degree type? This was suggested to him by the agent due to his sponsor's financial account.

Then the agent suggested the wife to apply for a programme too in Canada because he claimed that she might not be given a visa to accompany her husband who is going to study. They do not know if their agent is only saying this to charge them more. They googled on their own and found that as a dependent, she could opt for Spousal Open Work Permit as a dependent travelling along.
Pls is it true that if she goes for the Spousal visa, she will not be issued a visa and if you two are skeptical about someone with an MSc graduate opting for PGD. I dont think she should apply for an MSc programme as well. Pls your advice. Many thanks

Hello to you all,

Pls I need a piece of credible advice from those who have applied for visiting visa from Nigeria this 2023,

With all honesty, I want to know if one will get the Canadian tourist visa within 3 months or what is the expected average time to get the visa {not what is stated on the embassy website but reality}

What is the eligibility percentage of securing a visiting visa for someone with no family ties in Canada?

What about Conference Visa? How easy do applicants get the visa from Nigeria and can it be easily converted to a work permit in Canada {this is for a friend}

Last, who knows if truly Canada offers work visa to applicants from Nigeria. We all know our agents will not tell us the true picture of things just to extort money from their clients. Will offers be given for unskilled to skilled jobs and how long does it take to get a visa and what conditions should be met ?

Then for someone who already has a Netherlands MSc degree with no solid work experience since 2015 but has a small start-up company in Nigeria and want to relocate to Canada, can he apply for a Postgraduate Diploma course and not have issues regarding visa grant? Cos he cannot pay for another MSc and would like to go for a programme without thesis since he already has acquired SUCH in Netherlands. He just needs a professional certificate but should be recognised by the Canadian embassy for visa. Can someone please say if he should apply for studies again and is it true that students who do not make an initial deposit for their tuition will be sent back home at canada airport even if it is a no=deposit programme ? pls i will appreciate honest answers to all my questions. Thanks!
