Hi Scott. Please did you send to Lagos or Abuja?

Scott99tish:
I sent on Friday. VFS got it that day and acknowledged via mail.
VFS sent to IRCC on Monday.
IRCC acknowledged same day. Stamped and sent it back VFS on Tuesday.
VFS gave DHL Wednesday and it arrived Lagos same Wednesday.
They dispatched to me today being Thursday.

I didn’t do much of tracking cuz they bombarded with progress update via mail…
Ensure you have your e-mail boldly written on your envelop.

dbeautyful:
Congrats pixzy.

Did your submitted statement capture the gradual build-up of your POF, OR did the statement show the full POF already in the account?

I submitted statement of 4 months . For all I know it’s important to have a good opening balance too . My opening balance as at Oct was 3.2m . So I was transacting on the account steady till ending of January with closing balance of 6.7m

NgumimiT:


They only accept documents in English or French.
Tell your sponsor to ask the bank if they can give them a copy translated to either of these languages.

Thanks a lot.

CentennialGuy:
LONG POST ALERT!

Congratulations bro. In your SOP, how did you explain the fact that you already had an MSc and still applied to a PGC program?
I need insights. Thanks.

Please good people, who has somebody in ACCESS BANK that can facilitate my form A transaction.

Yesterday was exactly 3 weeks and I am yet to be debited. Kindly help a brother

Hello good day everyone.

Please gurus in the house, I need your contributions please,

1. Is it compulsory to pay school fees before applying even if sufficient money is in the account?

2.If I don't pay do I need to mention when I will be making the payments in my sop?

Please I need contributions,I will really appreciate it
Thank you

Please I’m presently preparing my application too, I gain admission to Holland college to study Tourism and travel management, I am an HND graduate of public administration. I have home ties, my house documents in my name, my land documents too, my dad is my sponsor with closing balance of #,7,800,000( $22,000), my fear now is my proof of fund please, the first year tuition is approximately 11k and hostel accommodation is $5,700 that’s roughly 17k and plus the 10k requirement 27k, I don’t know if can still submit my application with the 22k that I have , please help me. I have good home ties just the funds to proof, I didn’t put accommodation in place before, I was working on tuition and 10k minimum requirement

Of course they are the strongest sef IMO.

If you can, get your employer to write you a leave letter stating that you'll resume 1 month after your Couse finishes to a higher position. Not compulsory though.

Finian1:
Can I use wife and children alone as home ties?

that POF won't fly , because firstly you are not self-sponsored , your dad is the one to sponsor you and that money doesn't cover all your expenses and that is all in his account , so you are saying he is spending all he has to send you to school abroad , the VO will probably say that doesn't sound like a reasonable expense to make , that is my one cent though , you can wait for other gurus for their inputs too.

if your dad wants to sponsor you let him have more than enough like times two or times three sef , and if he is really willing to use all that money for you then chill for like four months and start building your own personal account properly with that money if it is truly for you.
Like I said wait for the other gurus though.

Good morning colleagues.

I need a lot of direction on where to start first . Should I write my IELTS exam first or are there courses I could do in Canada without IELTS? Then what next ?
I am a novice here, but I am determined to this course , because I know with the right information, commitment, direction from colleagues here and with God, I will make it to Canada.

Use ApplyBoard. Create a user profile. ApplyBoard doesn’t charge you, you only pay college or university application fee.
Fanshawe college was a FREE application for the candidates i used them for recently. You might get a FREE application too.

Admission offer was also very fast too. Check that you meet course requirements too.

All the best.

Thanks a million for the information you shared yesterday. I have applied to Fanshawe College, and I paid $0 for application fee. Thank you o. May God bless you abundantly.

Rach90:
No it hasn't started

Mine has, start sending emails so it starts at least... May resumption is near. I contacted an MP and a day or 2 after, my eligibility started.

1. The PGC program (Construction Project Management) is still in the same industry as my MSc Architecture.

2. I have very good experience in Construction Management as highlighted on my CV.

3. In my SOP, I stated that most of the knowledge I have in Construction Management were picked up on the go via experience in the field and that I have no robust education in it especially since the curriculum of an MSc in Architecture didn't go in depth with Construction Management.

4. I highlighted the challenges of Construction Management in Nigeria citing papers and articles written on it. And how I will fit into solving some of the challenges with my new and quality education in Construction Management.

5. I stated how most complex infrastructure projects in Nigeria are handled by foreign experts because of their sound education in Construction Management and how I want to contribute to reducing the over dependency on foreign experts thereby contributing to the Nigerian economy.

6. I added links to several job posts highlighting demand for the role of a Construction Manager with some of them paying in foreign currency right here in Nigeria.

So in general I just tried as much as possible to focus the attention of the VO on the benefits of the course I am going for for me and my country.

if you are not going through Nigeria Student Express you do not need IELTS for study visa , and even go get admission most schools just require you to have taken your previous education in English so your weac result should suffice.

Yes, Eligibility is the round where they'll check if you are fit to obtain a study permit, before being issued a PPR.
I submitted my app on January 15 of this year.

Is it undergraduate course you are applying for or post graduate course?

You don't need IELTS to apply for study permit and most schools if not all sef don't require Nigerian Students to write an English Language Test. So move on to next phase of this process, whatever that is for you.

Read the college's refund policy or if you have a representative from the school you are talking to , I am not trying to be negative but just trying to be safe , some schools don't refund tuition , some refund if study permit doesn't go through , some can allow you keep deferring till you get your study permit , so just read their refund policy first and you can go from there .

Let me quickly answer your questions based on my experience.

1. You don't need to pay your tuition before your apply. Although, it may boost your proof of funds argument if you do.

2. Of course, you need to detail your financial planning in your statement of purpose. All in all, let your SoP be very compelling that the visa officer can't ignore you.

Above all, commit your application to God’s hands, and have faith. It will end in praise for all of us in Jesus’ name. AMEN.

Fanshawe requires you to pay half tuition to confirm your seat. You can use E-Form A from your bank for that.
Asper Visa application. Go to page 1 of this thread, you will find the information you are asking for there. Read up the first 3-10pages.

Start gathering the documents that relates to you from page 1.

All the best.

Please assist with their email address and a sample of what to send. Thank

lilangel20:
Here is a clearer version of my GCMS notes. I was refused on just personal asset and financial status.
I am a funded applicant with funding of 16,500cad of which I am to pay 5,030 as school fees and would be left with 11,000cad.

I do not also think my sop was poorly written.

Please, which school and program where you funded with?

Please help me with hiw you contacted an MP. Thank you

Belle110:
