The applicant won't have sufficient funds even if he has 30 billion USD in bank balance!

This is not true or let me say it's an exaggeration.

In that case file, the judge and the Respondent claimed if the Appellant had shown $136,000 or so and was able to prove that the sponsor had no responsibility over anyone else, the Appellant would have won the case.

Also, with the $46,000 or so that the Appellant showed, IRCC could have shown "mercy" if he had successfully convinced the VO that the fund would be available and more funds would be provided as time goes on and the sponsor had no responsibility over siblings.

The Respondent claimed the onus was on the Appellant to prove the stated points which he failed to do.

Sorry for my wording which I term "mercy". I actually meant that IRCC could have used their discretion to justify that more monies would be available maybe due to the sponsor job or ability to generate more fund.

You don't necessarily need to write any exam to apply for Study Visa except requested by your college or university of choice to gain admission.

It's rare of Canadian schools to ask Nigerians to sit examination.

.

Thanks! I really appreciate your response
So the first thing is to apply for admission into their school?

Hi everyone, pls is there any affordable school in Canada currently admitting for January intake?

Hi

My proposed school has a 2 year App dev program (1 year study and 1 solid year of Co Op Canadian work experience program (40 hours weekly permit with good wages)).

Now, the issue is the school doesn't give PGWP. The tuition fee is very affordable too. I have searched and searched and it's the best i have found.

I really want to JAPA for good. What's your advice?

"Affordable" is relative. Yes, some schools I have seen online are taking in for January intakes

Hitherto, lord I say thank you, Ebenezer I say thank you, I thank you for the whole process and I bless your name for you are God all by yourself

GOD, I book space for my PPR news this week because I know what God can not do doesn't exist ... Let your mercy speak for me

Abort mission and find school that will give you PGWP.

Hello guys.

Could you please recommend some Canadian universities that are currently accepting applications for academic programs. Specifically Nursing.

Thanks

I was looking at reasons of refusal by VO ..the applicant will not have sufficient funds like i said ..even if it is 30billion Usd in bank balance! based on career path: given education and employment history...there was no reasons to pursue the program! Application will still be refused based on insufficient funds!
Applicant would have argued that the reasons of insufficient funds was merely based on the above however he has no evidence why employment history and education did not relate to choice of program! And why he would like to pursue the program!...

POF cover letter had 3 tables (Year 1, Year 2, and Summary) showing the breakdown of the cost of attendance and funding. Subheadings were then used to explain each source of funding and bank accounts used.
The POF cover letter can have all the explanations for your POF, so you do not have to replicate it in your LOE, thereby freeing up some space/pages in your LOE.

In your LOE and POF cover letter, don't leave anything to the imagination of the VO. When you allow them to make their own deductions/assumptions, it might not always be in your favour. Explain everything as succinctly as you can.

With the CIBC student deposit program, one can open a Canadian bank account and make a one-time transfer of CAD 1,000 - CAD 20,000 before arriving in Canada, but the transfer has to come from an account bearing your name. You then activate the CIBC student deposit account on arrival in Canada and all your funds are immediately available to u, unlike in GIC.

Some Canadian schools have International Student Advisors (Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants or Regulated International Student Immigration Advisors) that support international students for free in their study permit application process and beyond. Find out if your school has any and make very good use of them. Some offer regular Q&A sessions, information sessions, phone/video appointments, and support via emails.

Watch lots of YouTube videos on Canada study permit application (step-by-step filling of the online application, LOE, POF, home ties, etc)

I'm very grateful to all those that contribute here on Nairaland. You are doing a marvellous job. There is sooo much information on this Forum. Taking the pains to start from page 1 of this thread is very rewarding. You can always copy/save/screenshot relevant information you may subsequently need, so u won't have to start searching or requesting them later.

I wish everyone speedy processing of applications and continuous rain of PPR!!!

If becoming a PR is your priority, you don't want to enroll in this school: but if PR doesn't matter to you through schooling, perhaps you have another means, you may want to consider the school.

Try to be more explicit. You didn't mention a particular intake and level of program.

Normally, there are always schools accepting applications.

Thanks! I really appreciate your response

Yes. Secure admission in a DLI school and PGWP-eligible course if PGWP is a priority

Guys please is study permit no longer issued at point of entry? My understanding is that student (TRV) visa is applied for which is used to enter the country and then study permit will be issued at point of entry?
Or study permit in this case, is it one and the same with the travel visa?

Kurukuru:
My people if you want to apply for a study permit, be ready to provide funds for your entire stay NOT THE ONE YEAR that is on their website o
