₦airaland Forum

Ketima:
Now I want to give a little advise to us all. Do that which you believe will work for you. Many of you here knows me well but note it that no one knows it all. We all learn from each other.

Today I got my wife's SOWP, just 3 months after submission even though I'm still in Nigeria. Sometimes we get adviced based on others peoples situations or event, but truth be told, things changes with time. When I got my study visa, family application refusals were high, hence we tend to advice to apply alone, then apply for spouse and kids(if any) when you arrive in Canada. In the past few weeks, we have noticed that family applications are recieving approval, those applying for diploma even when they already have Bsc are getting approval, those applying for PGD even after Masters are getting approvals.

So, What that matters is let your application be top notch. Avoid any loophole. Be your own VO. Review your application yourself and leave the rest to God's grace.

So, I advice henceforth, if you're a family, apply together, worst scenario, it will be rejected and you people can refire again. If you're applying for a degree lower than what you already had, ensure that your prove beyond doubt why you're going for such course. Nothing is impossible in this Canada journey.

For SOWP, then we were advised to wait till you get to Canada before applying. But with the recent delays in SOWP application, applicants are waiting 8 months + before getting decisions. So if you applied alone and got approval, you may as well work toward submitting your spouse (family) application because you never can tell, it may even get approved before you leave so that both can leave together.

And again for those not coming forth to encourage others with there timeline, is not that you're compelled to do it or people beg or attack you, is just to help the newbies learn vital document's to submit as not all will have time to read from the beginning. I personally have 3 people I helped applied for and got approval this month and I told them to come share their testimony here to encourage others and they promised but still hasn't. But It was still from sharing of timeline that they came to me to help them in their applications. So please let's do well to help each other because this journey has no end until we all become citizens. At any stage, you will need help and this nairaland forum is top notch for such.

For my wife SOWP, I will still share it here for others to learn and as well in the SOWP forum.

We're all doing well and God will bless us all.

Lianna2020 you motivated me to apply for her early and I'm grateful I did.

Congratulations

Please can some one guide me if the below fund is adequate:

But why are you leaving Nigeria if you have this much money? Why are you begging another country to accept you if you're already part of 1% in your country? Why do you want to leave your comfortability in Nigeria only to end up doing 3 odd jobs per day..

Travel threads is a proof that the people leaving Nigeria are the well-to-do ones, how do y'all amass such wealth in a short period in Nigeria yet you're still working hard to leave? Don't say security please because no place in the world is safe.

I can't have 20M and be begging one officer to accept me go his country! God forbid

No vex, I just don't understand how someone with 20M plus will be fighting to leave Nigeria.

Jakpa is indeed not for the poor

Of course, a good number of those traveling abroad are well to do, but it's not always about money. Except we're deceiving ourselves, Nigeria don cast. So, even if you're doing well presently, things can turnaround quickly. Besides, the future of your children is not guaranteed here. Most Nigerians travel out not for themselves, but for their descendants.

Olashile147:
Check Conestoga college for Strategic Marketing Communication it lucrative.

Please, can someone who studied English language and worked as a marketing manager do this course? I'm looking for a lucrative course in Conestoga college too biko

May15548:
Congratulations to those that have received their study permit and Canada will favour us all.I will testify soon by God's grace.Amen

Hello,
My study permit was refused on the ground “ Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).”

Please how do I tackle this.

Great response, leaving Nigeria has a lot to do with people wanting to live in a sane environment. People want to give the right education to their children, have the simpke amenities Nigeria failed to provide.

Why should a Nigerian struggle to get water to bath and not been able to iron his or her clothes. Leaves home for work on a bad road. That's just to mention a few. A lot in our lives here are not right but we still swallow the BS daily. Many if my people out there can't even boast of having all those frivolities here but they find peace in what they do and how they live.

Hello,

You will have to get your GCMS note to have a full picture of the refusal reasons. What you have on your note is generic.

But you may do well to furnish the forum your POF, home ties and establishment capacity for better understanding. That's amount shown, any unexplained lumpsum, tuition expenses, home ties shown and level of establishments in Nigeria.

Hi everyone!

Please can form A be done in Canadian dollar or it has to be its equivalent in usd?

Congrats to you and your family, Ketima.
And God bless you for this breakdown. The folks at the SOWP thread don't usually post this breakdown.

Now I can start preparing for my wife's and daughter's application before landing.

Good morning everyone. I’d like to ask if medical result is updated on your portal after eligibility check has been carried out. I had upfront medicals on 26th April and I was called that I passed but till now, it is not reflecting on my portal.
Kindly enlighten me.
Thank you

Many thanks for the response amila20042001.

So I submitted the medicals as part of my application documents when I submitted my application.

Do you mean I should resend it via web form and email?

Thank you.

ShowYoung:
You should go for a course related to your work experience as this will show career progression.

Some suitable courses are Banking, Finance, Customer Service and Sales, Marketing, Business Analysis among others.

Another point is as those courses listed above show career progression, they also show academic progression at the same time as some of them are related to Accounting in which you already hold an HND.

Hello Simply,

Sorry for your refusal and that of your spouse. Is just a delay.

First, I would say the VO spotted series of inconsistencies in your application as regards your purpose of visit and that of your wife. So you will need to revisit tour purpose of visit, align it to your academic and or career goals, future prospect's. Also help the VO to understand why you're going for the course and the school. As for your spouse, you need to be diplomatic. Also, even if you're applying for working permit for your spouse, don't let your purpose of visit be about work work work. Because it may counter your ow purpose of visit and your promises to coke back after studying.

As for your finances, it seems your POF isn't sufficient. So you need to work on it and be rest assured that PPR is waiting for you.

But first, you need to get your note to have a clearer view of the VO's comment.

All the best.

yes pls, since it has not been updated yet

Elizabeth005:
