Hello nairalanders,

I am new here and truly need advice on how to proceed for an application.
I am currently applying for a post graduate program in Immunology at the
university of Manitoba and have almost completed my application but there
is a section where I have to get professor to support my application in terms
of being my supervisor. I have gone through the staff page and seen various
research interest of the different staff and have mailed few as to why I am interested
in their research field but no response. I have mailed the department of post graduate
studies and got a reply that it is my responsibility to get a sponsor for my department of
interest giving me a link of the staffs in the department of immunology. I have done the
best I know and am seeking guidance or directive from you guys to achieve this feat. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I’m really excited to be in this platform. I just got my official Letter Of Acceptance for TRU and will proceed to my visa processing. I’m doing this myself so I want to ask of the minimum amount in naira I can present in the sponsor’s account and the sponsor being my in-law (sister’s husband). Is the relationship ties strong enough?
Also, any advices on how to start the visa application and anything necessary never to skip?

Filanodivine:
Gurus please I’m still waiting for answers ��

mrprolifik:

. The cost of tuition for the program (per year)
. How long will the program last (year)
. If married will you be applying alone or with Husband and kids ( if any).
Once you supply all these info. You will get help here I guarantee you.

The tuition for one year is 18,000 CAD aside housing and living expenses. It’s a 2 years Post Bacc program. I’m single and will be applying for myself only. Will appreciate answers ��

Does your brother-in-law have any kids?

First of all, you’ll need to prove that he is your brother-in-law by providing your sister's birth certificate and her marriage certificate.

Then you’ll need to prove that your brother-in-law has enough money to sponsor you and at the same time take care of his family.
Get a statement of sponsorship or better still, have him transfer the POF to your account and get a gift deed for it.

Typically, you’ll need to show one year tuition which is 18k CAD plus 10K CAD living expenses.. Make sure he has money considerably larger than the 28k CAD total because the VO will want to make sure he is still able to support his family after providing sponsorship for you.

To further strengthen your application, you can pay the tuition for one year and do GIC.

About how to apply, you can choose to use either the new or old portal. Both works fine, the difference however is the document upload limit on the new portal is 2mb as opposed to 4mb on the old portal.

Okay boss, the tuition for one year is 18,000 CAD aside housing and living expenses. It’s a 2 years Post Bacc program. I’m single and will be applying for myself only. Thank you guys

Please, anyone here going to conestoga college for fall 2022? Let’s link up please. We can discuss visa application process together too

mrprolifik:
Total cost for the 2yrs would amount to $36,000CAD
Housing and living for 2yrs will be $20,000CAD
Other cost like flight ticket would be approximately $1,000 (just an estimate) could be more or less.
So all together we have $57,000CAD.
So to be safe you should have a total of at least between $57,000 to $60,000 for the duration of your program.
Yes your in law can be your sponsor but to be able to convince the consular officer that he will be supporting you financially it's better if he transferred the money to your account as a gift and provide documents or you opening a GIC account with a financial institution in Canada by depositing the money there.
Lastly you need to convince the consular officer that,
. You have strong ties back home.
. That that the total money to be spent on your studies would be available for the duration of study.
. The program of study would lead to academic progression or job advancement (if working already)
Lastly don't forget about writing a strong ,well detailed and convincing LOE to address all the points stated above even after providing documents .
If u clear all this hurdles you have a good chance.
Goodluck .

Filanodivine:
Thank you boss. I can still use more than one sponsor right? I also want to use my brother’s too but majorly my in-law’s own

Ketima:
Hello Filanodivine,

You have to show (18,000+10,000+ others( ancillary fees)). Then also provide/show to the VO how you intend to pay for the subsequent year. So since you're using a Sponsor, it would be preferable the sponsor pays your tuition (be it a term or full year) just to prove commitment as he is a 3rd party sponsor. Then send the first year living expenses into your account. Then in his account, he should show 2nd year Tuition and living expenses..

So in summary, let him pay Tuition from his account, pay 1st year living expenses into your account. Then do gift deed to back it up. Then the rest should be in his account.

Now your in-law with his own family to care for as well, let your sis and the hubby draft a kind of letter of explanation to explain why they want to sponsor you and how they will sponsor you without affecting their financial obligations to their own children. Let them both sign it, notarize it along with the gift deed, sponsorship Letter and sponsorship declaration.

That's my little input

Semtu:
Yeah, two sponsors is fine.

Just make sure you provide sufficient evidence and explanation as to why the person will want to sponsor you.

Hello, everyone.

My brother wants to sponsor me and he's a director at my dad's company. I volunteer at the company. Does my brother need to bring any of the companies documents?
I've seen the documents other people brought, but I'm kind of confused concerning mine.

Onlinedoctor:
The board of directors have to issue a letter to this effect. A letter of employment is required as well, enumerations (pay slips even if its a volunteer), study leave. U need all the documents to prove beyond all doubts. Pictures can be also be very helpful and emails

AFTER 2DAYS of posting this



LONGGGGGG POST ALERT!!!

Guys I really do not know where to start from!
I'm short of words. God's just too good to fail.
I'm still in shock cause I can't really fathom why my application was this quick or why I was just favoured, but I give God all the glory! For he alone is to be praised!

I've been following this thread for about 4yrs now. Just observing with no plans to submit my application. Was just here for the information basically, and to read people's process (which I enjoyed doing) didn't even know I'd eventually apply.

Time came for me to apply, I was scared to the Bone! I was scared to doing it myself! My sponsor (brother) literally begged me to look for an Agent to handle my application, I was skeptical at first, but I succumbed cause I didn't want any issue or stories that touch.

I contacted an agent on this platform, he charged me 150K for admission and 250K for Visa. My sponsor agreed to pay for the first stage (admission). Las las I eventually paid 190K for only admission!!! Only school admission ohhh!!!

Then it was time for Visa Application, and I was told Visa Fee has increased to 300K. And I was like hell No!!! I no go school? Am I daft? No! I can do this shi# myself. 300K no be 300 naira.

That's how it began, took a leap of faith and decided to do and handle my Visa Process myself, and God blessed me with the GOLDEN Mail (PPR)! Guys please do this stuff yourself!
You can do it! Yes YOU! You can!
There's nobody else that cares about your application than you! You don't need any agents NAIRALAND is the real deal! NAIRALAND taught me everything I know and used to get my Approval.
