Good morning, gurus in the house.

Please I'd like to know if health insurance is often required for study permit application.

And if not, do Visa officers expect students to set aside money for health insurance?

More so, do most Canadian schools compel students to have a health insurance?

That onebwouod be settled when you enter canada..u don't need it now during study permit processing...

Jayrealest:
Please is official transcript mandatory before admission to University of Calgary, or will the unofficial transcript be used for admission, so that after admission one can now submit the official transcript.
Gurus in the house please help

The truth is some schools accept unofficial transcript for processing the admission while they await the official one while some will ask u to send in the original before they touch your file sef...in whatever method you use, you'll still need the official transcript...

allisgood:

Hy Guys please I need your help, I am new here and need advice like a lot.
1. I am a graduate of Mass Communication 3rd Class but I want to go for a Diploma/Certificate in Hospitality Management. I was told I could apply for it but I needed to explain why I am going for the study. The thing now is do I need my degree certificate to apply? I need your candid opinion and advise. Thank you

Need your degree cerificate how, pls explain that part, cos if you're applying for a cert/ diploma you're def gonna apply with your first degree. Also Mass comm to Hospitality mgt, is your work experience inline with H.M? Cos you'll need to explain y ure crossing...it will end in praise

Oghogho1313:

Mami1:

awys:
Please don't put your self into a deeper mess with this .There is nothing like arranging bank statement for proof of funds don't let them give you fake docs that will put you into trouble there is nothing like arranging bank statement for immigration to be forewarned is to beforearm
A word is enough for the wise!!!

1. With the current MBS method, you'll be easily found out.
2. If the person send bold money into your account without any relationship, itll be regarded as lump sum, and what relationship is between you two,.
3. The person would also pay part of your fees from his or her account...so think about it well before using that method. You must either explain the lumpsum, and the person must be ready to leave the money till when your application is completed

afomon12:
While filling the forms please gurus. Under the national identity document. I have a permanent voters card and a National I.D card. However, these national identity document does not have an expiry date. So what should I fill in for - Enter the date your national identity document will expire ? Gurus !!!!

Leave that part, it's for diplomats...I once did the mistake and was later told the meaning

feistymikey:
Please how are people paying for their visa application online now since the limit on Nigerian cards is now $100

My payment has not been going through

If you know someone in Canada or abroad ,beg the person

Dbankx1:
I’m not so sure about this, I had an account that was created on sept 2020 by my father and was deposited with 7m for my studies, I explained that in my sop, and my father explained that in his statment of sponsorship and I was granted ppr. I think you just have to be honest and make it make sense

Chief it means you didnt read deomannuels response cos I only explained what 12months n 6months mean... however, deomannuel gave him the best response by telling him to write a letter that his bank isnt on the MBS list...hope you understand now.

afomon12:
Hello house please I need help. Like I said earlier, I am planning to start my application very soon. I want to ask about this *mybankstatement* I am planning to go to zenith Bank and first bank to request for my bank statements and then scan and upload directly into my application. What is your view about this ? Or it's a must I use mybankstatement? If it's a must, please is zenith and first bank working for my bank statements for now ? If yes, how do I go about it ? Lastly, in paying the study permit application fee, which one works better ? First bank or zenith Bank ? I have mastercards for both. Gurus help #afomon

It's been difficult paying for application fee with any Nigerian bank o...
Just go to zenith bank and request for MBS ,they'll forward it to the candian embassy form their end, and only send u a ticket containing ID n Passowrd that you'll now scan n upload.

maestro09:
Please in a case where an applicant provided two sponsors’ statement of account alongside the applicant’s statement of A, and then an NSE request was gotten.

Would the applicant have to submit MBS for all the three initial statements, or can the MBS for the main sponsor be submitted alone if it has well over 30k CAD?

You can submit only the main sponsor if the funds there are enough for the expenses. If the co sponsor also wrote a letter of support, you'll need to submit the persons MBS too

Tim4humanity:
I have a 2.1 bsc information technology, my sponsor is my dad (he declared 8mil naira), he is retired. But I am partly funding my education in Canada from a joint estate account owned by me and my sister but bears my late mother's name because the account was opened to transfer funds owed by the Nigerian FG (declared 16mil naira)

Chief, with 2.1 u cant be going for PGD, you ought to have put in for MSC. That's a concern to the VO as per purpose of visit, this guy just wants to leave his country..
About the available funds, it's fine, just rewrite the LOE that d funds declared are available with vivid evidence of where the money is coming from, those ones are generic. Once you tackle the purpose of visit, the others are small..apply for MSC n not Pgd..it will end in praise.

Good day chief, in as much as I understand that u have x5 of the required funds, I'll like to ask if you explained where the funds came from, because they also know about Nigerians accumulating funds from different sources just to boost their application, they've been reviewing for years too, the best bet is to show 1year fees plus living expenses funds..and also explain where the funds came in from with evidences e.g receipts of payments, itself it was via contract, the evidence of the contract and who paid it..you know, they need evidn3ce of how the money came in....

Legacyedition:
GCMS note out.


VO saying he's not sure how the fund was accumulated, then go ahead to say he's not sure fund will be sufficient for study again.. Available fund is more than X5 of whole study cost.




Kindly advise generally.

Psychosocial:
Has anyone here been successful using bank statements not from "mybankstatement", and also do they expect the statement have to reflect through the 6month and 12month period

He just gave you the best advice...12 months period means your account must have been running for1yr n above. Then the 6months means they need the statement for a period of 6months..just do as deoemmanuel advised, it will end in praise.

Bobinho10:
Gooday! I submitted my NSE documents Feb 8th and got submition confirmation the following day but my eligibility review hasn't started instead showing is in progress, they will let me know when it starts. I wanted to ask if there is a problem! Although my MBS was not submitted because my sponsor lives in Canada but his BS was submitted with LOE . Please she'd some light.

you dont need to worry or fear...till my application got approved, eligibility didnt start...

Izusteph4:
Ok but if that is the case why did they state that the reason for my refusal is because of the fact that they are not satisfied that I will leave Canada after studies based on purpose of visit, financial status and personal assets

Yes na, because they feel u just want to leave your country and come to Canada..since your purpose of visit doesn't convince them.

Rootiab:
I dont think social work and human resources management actually do relate. May be go for something that relates with your bsc. Since you dont have work experience

You're right

Izusteph4:
I studied social work BSC
No job experience I am just 23 and I finished my NYSC august last year
I applied for a PGD in Human Resources management

Oh okay, social work n HR mgt, I'm not sure it relates to each other, also what's your grade?

Izusteph4:
I got my refusal this morning��though the refusal has been effected since January but I wasn’t notified up till this morning ...

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.

@Frankrobbn1, JustMellow and other gurus in the house, Please help a brother because I wish to reapply.

I submitted NSE requirements December 18 with IELTS 7.5 and 26kCAD (3.6m in naira and 10k USD both in my mother’s name)first bank account statement. Also based on assets I have landed properties worth about 18million naira in my late fathers name. Please how do I respond to this issue

What's your discipline?
What's your grade, 2.1 or 2.2?
What course are you going for in canada?
How much is your school fees?
The landed properties isnt in yu name and there's no legal means to verify that it has been transferred to you...

feistymikey:
Good morning everyone, please does anyone know if I can use an IELTS General training result for a study permit.

I have gotten admission already from a school that didn’t require it because I’m a citizen of Nigeria.

But I’m thinking I should add it to my application as a supporting document just incase.

I wrote this Particular IElTS exam last year when I thought I was going to apply for PR / express entry whatever

Thank you in advance for your response

Do General, so u can use it to kill both Nse and PR birds

Tim4humanity:
Hello Everyone In the house, I can't thank you guys enough for the life saving information you all post here, that's why I always come here when I need helpful information. Well long story short, I think I might have hit a stumbling block with my study abroad journey. I just received my refusal letter from the Canadian embassy and my refusal was based on these two reasons :
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.

Based on the second point, I presented 23m naira as my proof of funds from a joint estate account owned my me and my sister (i also stated in my SOP and presented a letter signed by my sister that the funds in the joint estate will be directed towards my education in Canada). I don't know why they gave the refusal based on the first point.
Adding to this; I have a bsc in Information Technology, I applied for a PG diploma in Data Analysis in Langara college Vancouver. The only work experience I have related to this course was in my nysc service year (2019/20), will the gap in employment affect my application ?.
Please, our travel abroad guru's in the house @Frankrobbn1, @JustMellow
can be of any help please.
I just need some assistance on how I can tackle this issue and structure my next SOP during my next application. Thank you very much.

Whats Your bsc grade, 2.1 or 2.2?
And how much did you declare?
Who's your sponsor ?

Summe:
PG. My flight is on the 9th of March by God’s grace.

When is your course starting?

Baphil:
My dear friend is in this shoe. She has sent numerous emails and webforms and the last response was that her application is still in process and they will notify her when they make a decision on her application. She doesn't know the way to go anymore. Just waiting it out now.

She will have to be patient o...

Ara2004:
House. I just read this few minutes ago. I don't think a police clearance certificate is required for a study permit application. With the information below, i am not applying for a PR and i am not declaring any criminal record. Who also shares my view?



Police certificate and IRCC requirements

You must provide a police character certificate when you apply for permanent residence in Canada.

You will also be requested to provide a police certificate to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) if you declared a criminal record on your application for an electronic travel authorization, work permit or study permit.

YES you dont need police report for SP, only for PR application

MsJanez01:
Good morning everyone. Submitted my application Jan 31st, just got my NSE request. They only asked for my bank statement since I already submitted my ielts. My question is, my funds are in stanbic mutual funds investment and they do not have mybankstatement for it. Pls how do I go about this? Plus the request letter stated a link where i can obtain mybankstatement. I'm a little bit confused. Please if you have used mutual funds or fixed deposits, how did u got about submitting this as NSE

Are you self sponsoring or you have a sponsor? .let your sponsor submit his/her bank statement ie MBS plus the mutual funds Certificate, stating that the money was kept there for the travel purpose...same thing I did though

Olayinkaji:
