₦airaland Forum

Good evening, great and selfless Nairalanders. I am actually a newbie here, and I must confess that I've been seriously wowed by the prompt guidance and assistance of members with the requisite expertise to others who request one help or the other to enable them to be successful in their various applications. God will surely reward you all for your amazing act of kindness.

Please, I'd be glad to receive some expert pieces of advice on some issues that have been bothering me pertaining to study permit application. I have a fully-funded scholarship (tuition) for an MA program in Canada for fall term; and I've been gathering the necessary documents for my study permit application. My worries are the following.

My uncle is my chief sponsor with about 20m in his account, while my elder brother is a co-sponsor. My personal bank account doesn't have any meaningful money therein due to the fact that I've not been gainfully employed in any work for a year now. Meanwhile, my elder brother wants to transfer 2m to my personal, otherwise empty, bank account to show for proof of fund. This mean that I'd be submitting two POF documents during my application. Since my personal account hasn't been used for transactions for the past one year and 2m is about to be transferred to it, will it raise a red flag on my application?

More so, I want to apply through NSE route. But I've not sat IELTS, which is among the basic requirements for such a process. But I read English in the university, and have also written to my school in Canada to write a letter, addressing it to the VO of the Canadian Embassy in Nigeria, explaining that I should be given a waiver for IELTS because my English language skills are very proficient. The letter has been sent to me already. I also intend to get a certificate of proficiency in English language from my Alma mater to support the waiver from my school in Canada. Do you think my would-be application stands a good chance of being processed via NSE?

I'd be grateful to hear your opinions about my worries.

God no go shame us!

Please I need advise.thank you.

It is usually done during your application. You can upload an unofficial transcript in a PDF format which you ought to have received from your school in Nigeria. It is always advisable to apply for your transcript and have it delivered to you by your Alma mater before starting your application. Once you have been offered an admission into your target department, you'd be required to send an official transcript through your local school here in Nigeria in order to authenticate your admission.

That was exactly what I did during the time I made my application. I hope this helps you. Best of luck in your application.
