Good day everyone.

I wanted to ask if a child under the age of eighteen (seventeen years old) is eligible for an Alberta Health Card. And how can you get one?

Thank you in advance.

johnstan:
Payment has to be through one of the payment methods on the school's website,
I used flywire because the other options were more expensive,
Flywire will generate an invoice you can use to make your payment and be sure to note the expiration date on the invoice.

Yea i used Access bank and it took almost the whole validity time of the invoice for the payment to be made
Spent about $1179 USD - a bit over N500k cos of the transfer charges, i am yet to get confirmation feedback from flywire of successful credit to the school

Good afternoon everyone. Happy Sunday!
Please I need advise.
I’m traveling in July for study (Got my PPR since January). My upfront medical was done since May 2021 when I applied for my study visa. Is it still valid? I haven’t received anything from IRCC to update it. Is that normal?

Nozino:
Hello, are you sure the dollar limit on gtb card is $200?

JDB55:
Wow 1500 per month when we are paying 500 per month with all utilities inclusive

Do you stay on campus or off?

CharitoJames:
I’m booking my PPR space here this week.
God has done it already...
It has ended in Praise already...
I receive my Congratulations and Celebration...

Some titbits

LOE subheadings used
- Introduction
- Background
- Why that program
- Why Canada
- Why that school
- Post-studies career prospects in Nigeria
- Ties to Nigeria
- Travel history
- Disclosure of Express Entry Profile
- Law-abiding citizen
- Acknowledgement of my responsibilities as an international student
- Conclusion

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.

MPOWER Loan
They offer up to a maximum of 100,000 USD (50k per academic year)
Schools supported by MPOWER Financing:

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!!!

ShowYoung:
Accurate advice cannot be given since you didn't reveal some key information about your tuition fee among others.

Hence, I will guess:
1. Living Expenses for a year $10,000 (Minimum required by IRCC)
2. Miscellaneous expenses $3000 (for flight and other expenses)
3. Tuition fee $20,000 assumed.
4. Program Duration: 1 year.

If the above assumptions are correct, then your total expenses is equal to $33,000 which is equivalent to NGN 11,000,000 ($1/#334 CBN rate).

This means if you have NGN 14,000,000 in your account, you have more than enough to run this program successfully.

You can present someone who doesn't share the same surname as yours to be your sponsor in so far you are able to establish past connection and relationship and can be proven beyond reasonable doubts

Olayinkaji:
Good day house. Please I would like to take a question. Is 10 million naira good for proof of funds for a pgd program 2 years. 1st year school fees of approx 10k cad.
Mine is 3m and sponsor is 7m.
I would want to know if that is enough to use to apply for visa with that as a POF.
Thank you, your responses will be greatly appreciated.

sayd3246:
Please which supporting document do I need to submit when applying for the visa. I currently work.

stanmorry:

CharitoJames:
You already got your passport stamped and returned right? How does medicals come in again? IRCC is done with you. If they needed you to update it then you wouldn’t have gotten PPR and you don’t need medicals to travel... you have your visa already
