Congrats to your brother. To help answer your enquiry more data is required. What course did he apply for and at what level of study?Does the admission/ scholarship letter state full tuition or part and if the latter what percentage?

sayittome:
Pls I need help. My brother got a tuition free scholarship to Canada but a bit scared as he doesn't know how to survive over there.

Any advice on way forward in terms of securing a job. ease of securing a job, Cost of living in Canada. Etc
Moreso, what does tuition free scholarship mean? Will there be other fees he needs to pay when he gets there?

The chances of getting both done tomorrow is slim. See which one is easier to reschedule and proceed accordingly.

If you have all the listed below and decide to add your sister as co sponsor that would be fine as long as she doesn't have dependants I.e. children. They would calculate that the money she makes would be put towards her own family, hence if and when you need money from her it may not be available.

Perfectyyyyyy:
Hello Great people,

Please would it be necessary to seek for a sponsor if I have made my 1 year full tuition fees payment, have 10k in my CIG account for living expenses and also having a balance of 10k CAD in my SOA especially as the possible sponsor is my younger sister but does not about 10k CAD in her account?

If it is idea to use her, I will appreciate if you help me with the documents that would be required of her

Hakim I have gone through your posts and I can see the VO claimed that you statement and what you earn from your job doesn't add up. I am guessing you did not submit pay slips, also when scanning bank statement digitally label each statement. For example your salary acc, when you scan it label it salary account so they can see salary payments. Business account label it, sponsors account label. See these VOs can get stressed or irritated when things are not well put together. Print bank statement of one year each and in addition to tuition pay for GIC if you can afford to. In your LOE, use sub headings and or subsections, one of them should be finance. Make it detailed but concise at the same time. From both refusals it is obvious finance is the main worry and they believe you are mobile. Make a section to talk on your ties to Nigeria, tell them things about your current living situation, family and other key things. Don't "over disclose nor under disclose".

I submitted my own statement of account and his own... So I am to still pay and he will still assist. I submitted his ID, his CAC, his landed properties.... I took pictures of me and him. I told them how my dad sponsored him through school so he is just returning the favour. So I also put in my own statemtnof account I. Co sponsor as well.

Hmmm, there are 3 options.
1. Forfeit the money.
2. Find out if you can continue studying online for the rest of the program and see it through.
3. Find out if you can continue studying online and reapply for a study permit.

I strongly believe the money won't be refunded.

lambsbread:
Guys please I'm in need of serious help.

The school I got admission in have refused to refund my tuition fee of close to 4million after visa denial, giving reason that I have consumed the semester I paid for.

My visa took 9 months to process and after several deferral of my admission, I decide to take one term online from Jan 2021 to April 2021.

Please I need help on what to do.

You can see where a part of the issue may be arising in 1st application you are self sponsored, second cousin, what happened to all the money he said he had before? That would be the question. Now as you stated you put pictures of your cousin but did you put his valid ID and also explain how you two are cousins. As far as the VO is concerned anybody can call someone their cousin. These are issues to be addresed. You and your cousin can be co sponsors. And if possible show statement for a year.

HakHim:
I used a sponsor in my second application.... My cousin.... He sent me money into my account for my tuition fees... The first application I used self sponsored

Okay, you said you used a sponsor, was this for the 1st, 2nd application or both and were you a co sponsor?

HakHim:
I graduated with B.Eng, with a 2.2. applied for a PGD in Engineering.

Oby please check well it is may intake that is online. September and January are not online.
Deadline for January has passed, go for September.

Oby2828:
Just checked it, it’s online learning method.

What exactly did you read(B.Sc, HND etc) and what did you graduate with? Additionally what course did you apply for in Canada?

HakHim:
Thank you for your response.... Let me explain to you... I did engineering, I am working in my field I applied for a course in engineering. Reasonable expense might be that considering all the money I have will be spent on the education I am planning to do in Canada...remember this was said from my first application.... As I feel they judged me based in only my salary .... So I had to break it down on how the money rolls in.... Now I have a business already established... I even have a company CAC... Then I had to get a new equipment to add to the existing one to show that I still plan to continue my business which I feel was a good home tie (my own thinking).... I told them about my parents as well but I did not put the pictures of parents or siblings.... But I used a sponsor that's my cousin different surname.... But I added his picture of me and him together.......I then added my finance also... Also landed properties ... Then I explained how the course I am going for will be beneficial to my current job and Nigeria at large.... And about the lump sum ... This was from the first application in my second application I stated that I have transferred all the cash to my other account so there was no any lump sum in the second application....

There is a form called application for business name registration that has your name, address and picture. Upload that along with the certificate

Toceen2022:
Hello house,

I know it's important for self sponsor applicant to show the source of POF. But for someone like me that owns a business, it's a registered business with CAC but the certificate I have is only "certificate of registration of business name" it does not show my personal name. My questions are:

1. Is this what Self-sponsor applicant who owns a personal business need to submit. (see example from picture)
2. As it doesn't show owners name, how will the Visa officer knows it belongs to the applicant?
3. Is there any other documents that need to be submitted to show I own the business?

Thanks in anticipation to anyone who likes to respond to this.

Oby I know Thompson rivers can admit you for their MBA with a 2:2, in fact I am a 100% sure.
Their mba is 2 years, after the first year with good grades you would get a pgd certificate in business and after the second year an MBA certificate. Apply to them. It is a good school and I personally believe if you would spend two years studying it may as well be a masters.

Oby2828:
Can I appy for a masters with a 2.2

Good decision apply to both.

Oby2828:
After much advice, I have decided to forfeit the 1 yr pgd program I got in Nagiara to get a 2 yrs pgd in International Business Management because of my kids.

Centennial and Thompson Rivers University offers that. Which should I go for? Or should I apply to both schools?

The programs will be for Sept 2022.

Regards

HakHim:
Hello good morning everyone good morning to all the gurus as well.

It will be a long post and please I really need guidance and help/ advice.

Kindly read.

I have gotten two refusals.

My first application.....

I applied first early this year. Self sponsored. 18M in three banks all statements attached, but had lump sum deposit in one of them (sold some assets).

HERE WAS THE REFUSAL 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 in your family ties in Canada and your country of residence."

"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 personal asset and financial status."

REQUESTED GCMS....

HERE IT IS......

PA is self funded. Employment letter shows PA makes 16,000 annually. Funds provided are not commensurate to PA income. Transaction on bank statement shows lump sum deposit. Source of funds unknown. Concerns about funding. Bank statement to be verified.

{[/b] please note that in my SOP I stated there the businesses that I do I attached CAC OF MY COMPANY I ALSO PUT THE RECEIPT OF ALL EQUIPMENT THAT I HAVE FOR MY BUSINESS, so my only source was not just my salary, but I think I was judged based on only my salary as my only source of income}[b]

HERE IS THE REPORT FROM IMMIGRATION AND BORDER CANADA

"I have reviewed the application. the applicant is seeking to study in Canada. I am not satisfied that the applicants will leave Canada at the end of their stay as a temporary residence. I note that the client is single, mobile, is not well established and has no dependents. taking the applicants plan of studies into account the documentation provided in support of the applicants financial situation does not demonstrate the funds will be sufficient or available. I am not satisfied that the proposed studies would be a reasonable expense weighing the factors in this application I am not satisfied that the applicant will adhere to the terms and conditions imposed as a temporary residence. For this reason above I have refused this application."

SECOND APPLICATION.....

I submitted LOE, I explained the source of income, I gave a detailed financial table that shows how much I make from each equipments and how much I have in the bank. I used a sponsor this time around he has 13M balance and sent me 2.6M for my first semester tuition.

I paid first semester tuition. I still submitted my personal bank statement of 17M. They verified my bank account from the first application and I also reminded them that the funds are still very much there seated for months now that it is mine....

Yet I still got a refusal ... Here is the reasons again from my refusal letter. I just requested for my gcms note

"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 in your family ties in Canada and your country of residence."

"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 personal asset and financial status.".......


Please can you advice or let me know what next to do.... As I have addressed the concerns from the first application I even used a sponsor this time around.....

Then that is very fine, Your Sop is your greatest weapon. Create a subheading for why you want to further your studies and why the chosen program will help you advance in your career and person in general. Be detailed but concise. Please don't state that you want to continue the business in Canada cause I saw that in your post earlier.

Oby2828:
No I have a 2.2 that’s why I’m going for a pgd.

Patience is a virtue. You will get your medical done, pass it and receive your PPR. In my case they gave me a date which was 5 days to the 30 days deadline, I did not die. Ask yourself this- what if your medical request didn't come now but came next month will you not still do it? Relax your PPR is in the bag

DooLiz:
Thank you. I have done that but i was given a date far from what I would like. Does anyone have an advice on what can be done? Or there is no remedy?

It is very possible to get your study permit with a one year program. Since the course relates with your work I think that is fine. But if you finished with a 1st class or 2:1 please go for a masters.

Oby2828:
Thank you for your reply, so do you advice I should reapply for a 2 yrs pgd course?

Yes it relates to my work experience, currently running my business and it’s super active, infact will still continue the business while in canada.

If you have a medical request Send a mail to qlife and iom with an attachment of your international passport data page and the medical screening request from IRCC and they would respond with available slots. However, If it is upfront I believe you have to book online. Regards

DooLiz:
Any suggestion on how to book medicals in Lagos for next week Monday?

Please ensure that the course relates to your work experience and or educational background. And I personally have an issue with 1 year programs, it has a way of saying you just want to enter the system hastingly.
Usually the program is like 9 months. This is from personal experience.

Oby2828:
I have decide to apply with my 2 kids and leave hubby out of it as there would be no one to take care of them. He, my business and property will be my home ties.
Note: It’s a 1 yr pgd program to study International Business Management, I’ll also be self sponsoring and will submit hubby’s employment letter and statement of account if needed.
How best should I address this to the Visa officer?

Ela, the medical request you received specifically stated that you are to undergo the medical screening within 30 days of receiving the request. They didn't say you are to undergo the medical screening , have the results sent and passed in 30days. Since you have done the former, all is well. Additionally I see you have sent proof of undergoing medical within the appropriate timeline. Panicking is unnecessary. You will get your PPR as long as your medical is fine. Relax God has done your miracle already. IT IS WELL!
