Viceroy:
Thanks @justwise and @FrontPageLawyer.

Very useful feedback. Much appreciated.

Hello, I can see two different advices here. Please read travelland advice as per accommodation . And I think you should include same figure and explain as I garnered that each application are considered seperately. Also should the breakdown of ones total expenses be equal to total.money for the trip or the cost of the trip to you personally,
Just wise and all,please.clarify this.as am.presently filling my application.too and it's a co sponsor .

travelland:
Avoid lodging any huge amount of money into your account towards the time of your visa application, it appears suspicious and requires a detailed explanation to the ECO if you cannot avoid it. With your hubby's closing balance, I hope he is not the one sponsoring the trip? Whoever owns an account with a closing balance above the budget for your trip should be the main sponsor. Break down the expense on each form, consider yourselves individuals, what i mean is this, if you have 400k each for you and your husband this is what should be written on each form and not 800K, break it down on individual basis. However, if your hotel bill is e.g. 100 pounds and you are staying in the same room, then you should fill in 100 pounds on each form(as cost of accommodation) because different ECOs may treat your application and if they check the reservation and notice that it isn't the same figure you have for your accommodation they may have questions, but go to additional information section and inform them you will share the same room as you are married so the total cost of accommodation for both of you is xxxxx, do this on both forms.

@travelland,
Thanks a lot. Understood. No huge lodgement. It's matured tbills and ain't ready for roll over as rate is very low now.

If I may ask, the cost of living expense and fund available to dependants should be less than your monthly salary right?
Then other fields not stated GBP specifically can be reported in NGN?
And ones breakdown must be equal to the total fund available for the trip?
Please revert.

FrontPageLawyer:
Start by filling your application. No one can fill your income and expenditure for you, but we can only advise you when we see your budget breakdown.

Your Budget must commensurate with your personal and financial circumstances in Nigeria. Therefore it is advisable to always prepare a mini budget.

Since you have a budget of N800k. Tell us you and your Husband's Monthly Income and closing balance?

Thanks. I have started the form . Was at crossroad as to how best to do that
My savings closing balance is 1m. I also have a 100k in my salary acct. I don't keep my fund in my salary account.Tbills investment in my name is 2m matures this week and not rolling over so my balance will be 3m . Salary 280k after tax, annual 4.4
Hubbys closing bal is 400k;salary 325k after tax
But the budget is 800k for 8days trip

I made the conversion on oanda, it's 2619pounds as at Today
Having written all above, please advise on the expenditure breakdown and am I to fill same amount on each person's form?considering the fact that we are using one hotel reservation ?and who should sponsor?or do we sponsor self independently?or co sponsor?

[quote author=pampem post=39895195][/quote]Morning peeps. Can my hubby be the sponsor meanwhile fixed deposit and other fund is in my account? How best do we fill the sponsor part . We have a million balance and abt 2m fixed. Though he has 400k presently in his salary account. the budget for the trip is 800k. Two dependants but not traveling with us.
Pls assist as regards the breakdown of fund for the trip.
We are using hotel reservation.
You can as well refer me to any page on this thread with similar case. I have read and searched but not seen a similar case for co sponsor.
FrontPage lawyer,travelland and all please your input is needed.

[quote author=teana4040 post=39878415]@pampem, mine is general visitor category[k/quote]
Thanks. Pls I need to ask some question. I sent you a mail. Pls revert

teana4040:

Pls inputs needed

@teams4040,
Congrats. Did you fill regular or standard visa application? I sent you aa. Mail. Please revert

salsera:
No issue
Travel dates can change

Standard visitor's visa

@justwise, is standard visa same as regular visa for someone visiting on tourism?

Chicagomum:
You do not need to include any document. DHL wont even take the documents from you. If the embassy needs/wants to verify payment they would call you for an interview.

Thanks dear

bbaby84:
You don't need to do that. If they require it, you'll be called for an interview.

Tanks dear.

Hello mums,

I greet. Please anyone done us drop box renewal after delivery in us? With a previous b1b2 visa. did you include receipts for full payment and the email sent to embassy notifying of intention to go deliver along side other documents to be submitted?
Note. No question as per pregnancy was asked during visa interview but the regular mail was sent prior to going for delivery in the states.
Please guidance and information is needed.
Thanks

Fortissimo:
Guys how would you assess these scores:

R - 7.5
L - 8.5
W - 7.0
S - 7.0

Overall - 7.5

Should the person go ahead with the EE app or retake IELTS to increase R, W and S scores?

Thanks all.

Hi,

Not a bad one,met minimum language requirement but he/she won't have all the mark allocated for language. You can enter the pool once other criteria has been met. he/she can always retake the exam depending on your overall CRS. Kindly use the CRS tool to get an estimate of your score. Best wishes

easyxtan:
I give thanks to God Almighty for a special day like this, to God be the Glory I just receive a message from CIC and behold ! The medical mail was there waiting for me...........Applied June 1 online for dual master in Business administration (MBA) and Master of Science in International Management (MScIM) . I will list my document soon.

Congrats.

emmyopok:

Hello,

Refer to federal skilled worker thread on NL . A better band score is of advantage, minimum of 6. All d best.

mevisbleek:
Interesting. Why do you think that 2yrs isn't enough? A detailed SOP would be just fine, I guess.

Yea yea, SOP will sort that out. Getting admission for Masters in Economics itself is a great task

OGreene:
Good evening everyone, i have a ques that has been bothering me. My BSc was in biological sciences, i have worked in a financial institution for 2 years now. I wish to study Development Economics or international Development Economics in Canada, say next year. Will i be given admission seeing that am changing field? I have a 2.1.
How should i go about this, am so clueless now. Thanks

Hi,
To further in Economics @ master's level you need have knowledge of basic Economic principles basically micro, macro and Econometrics. There is nothing impossible though , you could get a Pre-Masters, like a qualifying then you do main masters in Economics afterwards. I advise you mail schools you are interested in. Sure you get responses from them. but for visa purposes, be sure you know your way round' why Economics. All the best.

mevisbleek:
Why don't you want to write GRE? Guess u wld ve more options if u be it. Check university of windsor, Odette Business School. For aids and all please check the school site as well as some Google search. Gurus in the house can't do much cos no one has info about all the schools in Canada.

Yea, windsor doesn't require Gmat for supply chain but IELTS is compulsory . Check up details on the school site

Supermum:
Hello house,

For a baby who has dual citizenship (Nigerian and American) whose parents are Nigerian and intend to study in Canada, what passport is most advisable to use for visa application.
Does it matter if baby uses her US pp while parents use their Nig pp. some pole have advised against this.
Gurus in the house, what do u advice

supermum,
@supermom,
Biko use his /her Us passport while completing your application and family info form cos these guys have a way of finding out their infos. You do not need to pay application fee for a US born. A US citizen can enter canada, UK with their passport, no visa required, You only pay for yours . Just package your application well and be prayerful( Purpose of visit) cos those guys may feel you wanna go drop in their country again. All the best Regards

Team12:
Whether you like it or not, they will know he or she is a US citizen. Remember there is a place some where in the application package where they ask if you are a US citizen or Permanent resident? So there is no hiding place. My advice, use anyone that suits you. But if I were you, I will use the US passport.

@ Team 12, you are right. How prep?
@ supermum, see my advise below

Bcolah:
Thanks Zandora 4 d reply. Would work on getting his Master's evaluated. What's ur take on the Ontario PNP invitation to apply. I'm a Banker by profession.

Hello Bcolah, what unit do you work? I don't seem to get any NOC related to E-banking operations

Humblega:
haaaa. I also finished frm oau and I got notification frm wes On day b4 yesterday that photocopy of my transcripts hav been passed to skl for verification. May be 1 need to go to school to fast track it or else send any1 to transcript office to complain. They ar now in floor 2, senate extension.

Hiya Oau peeps,
You don't have to fastrack, mine took 6 weeks from the day I sent my transcript. It took a month from the day I got a mail they need verification from school. I wouldn't know the medium OAU responds to the verification cos I sent couple of people to help find out in school and ensure its sent but they couldn't place the letter /mail but you will be fine in a month or so. All the best

Team12:

Momoluwa:
Dear All,

I had just wrapped my head around the idea of leaving the country, Series of events which got me thinking of the kind of future I want for my self and my family.

I'm 29, Married with two kids, I have a good Job, I work with one of the Big 4 audit firms, have been working for close to 6 years. My hubby also is not doing badly. BUT I need to leave this country, not for me but for the sake of my children.

Here goes my Credentials

HND- Accounting Upper credit
ACA- ICAN
ACCA- Wrote the last 2 papers in June and hoping to scale it.

Several soft skill training on the job
Very good audit and accounting knowledge.

Am I eligible to apply?
DO I stand a chance?

I have read some ....on the CDIC site, Raising the required finance for a family of 4 would not be difficult, I just need to know if I stand a chance of making it through.

Yes you do. You need to write IELTS and evaluate your credentials
I advice you read up about the express entry online, also go through the last few pages of the thread, you'l find lots of information about the program and you'l also learn from people's experiences.
All the best

JesusDWay:
You may need to pen down your jd in an itemised form(I suggest it should be under all positions you have held) and then type in the job titles in the NOC search engine, it should bring out similar positions with their respective NOCs, then check their details to see which is best similar to the details of your own job titles.

Hope this helps. Moreover, like someone advised you earlier, the similarity of the details is what they want cuz, that's what they will be able to relate with and, it should be like that on the letter you will obtain from your office as your proof of employment. If you however still have difficulties, you may either share the jd here or pm your fellow banker who had earlier responded to your enquiry, it might make things faster.

Thanks a lot. Will sure do

zandora:
You can't just be a banker in operations, what exactly does your job entail? The NOC code you choose is determined by your job duties. For example if you work in a bank and supervise payments etc then you'll fall under code 1212 or if you work in claims in a bank like me then you'll fall under code 1312 and so it goes. Remember they don't care about your job title but your job duties and responsibilities.

Thanks for the prompt response. I am in e-banking operations (intl' settlement officer) chargebacks(claims), not insurance claims but refunds is part of my jd. What category best describes this

zandora:
Your husband can apply but you can't because you haven't met the minimum requirements for IELTS as you've scored 5.5 in Reading. You need to score a minimum of 6 in all bands to qualify.

Hello zandora,

Please assist, I am a banker 5years experience , not a manager but in operations( a 3rd level), what job type do I fall in? I have checked for banking but realised banking is usually with other types of financial jobs and am just seeing manager, banking operations! Manager this, manager that. Kindly assist on how to locate d skill type I fall in (NOC). I have done evaluation with wes already and got ietls. Level of education( Masters)

Team12:
Not at all. I got mine in less than 4 weeks and if I am to count from the day I did biometrics, I will say I got it in 3 weeks.

Someone in the previous part of this thread got medical call in 1 week!

Nothing is impossible with God bro, just believe!

Congrats dear ! You've got a nice packaging. Best wishes to all trv hopeful.
