Congrats to your child

My child just got letter to submit passport this morning. We raced to VFS Lekki for submission. Last day expected in school is Sep 12.
- Application submitted in May
- Biometric in June
Used a Nigerian consultant based in Canada (introduced by a family friend in Canada) who greatly coordinated and midwifed the entire process. Not compulsory though, but extremely helpful given the high rejection rate these days. Be care of scammers.

OK, but I have a little problem,
1) I lost my original certificate, I only have the certified true copy now
2) The date of birth on my transcript is different from what I have in my Intl passport, though have affidavit for that.
I hope this won't pose a problem with their evaluation?
And how much they charge for evaluation please?

Hi Nl,

As a married woman who want to go for her masters and her husband or father in-law is to be the sponsor. Do i need to apply for admission to the school with my husband surname or i can use my maiden name then provide my change of name document for visa application?

Please married people should help me explain how its done

If you have documentation for your change of name(marriage certificateand newspaper publication), use that to support your application.
In my case I didn't add these but when school requested to know why name on ID Was different from school certifications, I had to just provide them and added a footnote.

Just ensure you provide enough proof to show relationships with ypur sponsor

Please which Universities do not require WES evaluation report for masters, PGD & PGC?

PatrickOkunima:
Good morning, guys.

I just saw something strange. University of Winnipeg does not exempt Nigerians from submitting English language proficiency test result (E.g. IELTS). Those who have gained admission into Winnipeg, how did you overcome this challenge?

Bro, you can contact the particular college for waiver if the admission is for graduate programme.

1) I honestly don’t know as I didn’t apply to the school, I only helped a friend (and she had her original certificate) but to get this sorted out just send a mail to the admissions team and they’ll get back to you: international.admissions@royalroads.ca

2) Your affidavit will do, it clearly explains the mistake and if I’m right, most transcripts don’t have a D.O.B so you are good to go.

Universities do not ask for WES evaluation, you only have to your transcripts to the Universities of Colleges when you are applying.

how its done

If your current legal name is in your husband’s name, then apply using your current legal name.
Some schools during application will ask if you are married or not.

Should you are worried because your certificates carries your former surname, it does not matter. Only provide proof of change of name when asked.

Regards.

Thank you for the response Sir,
But I'm particularly interested in royal roads university but they're asking for WES evaluation report as a requirement for admission.

NB : 1. i was not on this platform, so i was a bit ignorant about this visa process: i never even checked if my eligibility review had started

Good day everyine , please is anyone in sheridan college here, it would be better if the person is already in Canada.

I some assistance concerning the school

Thanks �

Yes, you are correct, lump sums are always a red flag, but since the money comes from a fixed deposit and is in your name, visa officers are unlikely to have issues with it. You can show the trail from the fixed deposit to your account by submitting the investment certificate, proof of transfer and bank statements. You can also get a letter from the bank to support your explanation.

Instead of removing dad from the account, why can’t you use dad as a sponsor since his name is on the fixed account? Besides, you are a recent graduate with no work experience.

Get a gift deed from dad if you insist on being a self-sponsor.

KellyTech007:
Hi , Today made it 2 weeks since I joined this Thread And so far it's been Awesome , I have been able to learn about things that I didn't know before , I want to say a big Thank you to everyone. Your Questions and Answers , contributions and everything .

That being said , I'm still on the Journey to getting information and getting ready , It's a D.I.Y thing for me .

Please ,

1.Can anyone be kind enough to help with a sample of Statement of Purpose And CV , I'm going to go through them and use them as a guide while I prepare mine. Here is my email (agbonifokelly@gmail.com)

2. How will I be able to pay for my Application fees ? I understand our Naira Debit card doesn't work ?

3. I have a Joint and a Fixed Deposit Account ( They're together) With my Father , Inside the account contains all the money I need to show for POF , pay for my Full year tuition fee and etc .

The fixed Deposit contract with the Bank expires later in February 2023 , After February I'll then be able to have 100 Percent acess to the fund. I'm rooting to be part of the intake for the fall Entry of 2023.

I understand I can't use the Fixed Deposit Account for my student visa Application but I have a Question. When the contracts Expires in February 2023 , Can I push the money Into my own Personal Account , Then use the money as POF . I UNDERSTAND it will pop up as Lump-sum , but can I use the LOE to Explain How come the Lump-sum ? (This should include where the money came from by providing F.D documents to show that all these time the money has been in a fixed deposit Account that I opened with my Father )

Or Simply,

When it expires in February 2023 , Should I just remove my Dad's name from the Account , Then show document to proof that my Dad doesn't have access to the account Anymore.

N.B → I'm a fresh Graduate with No work experience


Please I'll really Appreciate the Response

Guy Congrats may the land of Canada favour you

Hi there,

The name does not matter as long as you can show you are married. It is not odd for couples to bear different surnames/last names. If you currently bear a different surname/last name from your husband, simply attach your marriage certificate as a proof of your marriage.

Cheers.

It was not my application through..that was my wife admission,however i made the application by myself, application applied on February 2022 ,letter of acceptance issued within 9 days of application...for September 2022 and January 2023...two intakes for one Admission application!!


October 1 application must be for September 2023 and January 2024 intake

Interesting. Thank you for your detailed feedback.

Pls what are the documents you used to applied.

He should have the option to hold on to his Naija license after passing the knowledge test. They usually give the option to hold onto it or change it to a BC learner’s license until the road test

kennyjoy:
I understand, but if you don't pass the first knowledge test, ICBC may retain your 9ja licence, and they will tell you to keep booking until you pass. Anyway, if you don't need a car right away and the job you're looking for doesn't require you to have one, you can go for it.

All the best my BC brother.

Toceen2022:
Hi guys, sorry this is actually coming late. The unimaginable stress at MMIA and trying hard to find my feet here makes it difficult for me to come online and drop my landing gist on time.

LANDING GIST
LAGOS - FRANKFURT - VANCOUVER - VICTORIA
Airline - Lufthansa / Air Canada
Date - August 18th/19th 2022.
Time - 11pm.

I never expected the rigorous stress I went through at MMIA. Got to the airport early at 6:45pm for 11pm flight, and went straight to weigh my luggage. I knew beforehand that I have 31 and 33, and 7 for carry-on bag, which I believe I will upgrade to 32, as per Lufthansa said it's possible. But their scale showed 32, 35 & 8kg. That is equally fine, I had no problem upgrading. But the lady who attended to me was just too crazy and started saying rubbish... That my only option is to look for extra bag and make it 3 bags, not exceeding 23kg each and I'll pay for one extra luggage. I never knew another wahala is underway. I bought a bag reshuffle and I got 23, 25, and 18. Luckily another staff told me to make it 32kg (pay for upgrade), 23kg (normal weight) and 12kg (I never knew passangers are entitled to 2 free carry on bags 8kg and 15kg (this can also be checked in). So I later paid to upgrade for the 32kg.

Now, this is where the stress began. Going through documents verification, my QR/Barcode on vaccination card only showed the 2nd Jab and date, the 1st was blank, because of that I was told I won't be allowed to board. (I've been fully vaccinated since Sept last year, and I do checked online myself even few weeks ago I checked, everything was showing perfectly well). I was told to call the number on the card if they can quickly rectify it, or go to the health service kiosk in the airport if anything can be done. That was how the trouble started o. Nobody could helped out, I was there calling the primary health care number on my card, moving from one place to another for over 2-3 hours. Nothing was done. Stressed and exhausted, I gave up, went back to the Lufthansa stand believing I'll have to book for another day, I asked for refund even if it's 70% (at least it's not that I didn't show up at the airport, so I should be entitled for a refund). It was at this point my brother in Ontario sent a screenshot on NPHCD site showing I'm fully vaccinated. I quickly scanned my barcode, still same issue, but on their site, using the personal identification number, it's showing the my full vaccination details. At this point, I reassured myself that Nigeria is truly a failed country. How could NPHCD site show different information on a single identification number. With the stress I went through, I cursed the country. Up till this moment if I scanned the barcode, it only show 1 jab, but if check on the site with the identification number, it shows the 2 jab. I was literally the last person on board. But luckily my window seat was still reserved for me.

I couldn't sleep much from Lagos to Frankfurt because of serious headache. In fact, I didn't enjoy the flight at all because of the stress. But after taking water and snack, I felt better and relaxed. We got to Germany - Frankfurt in the morning, around 6:30 am and from that point till my final destination, no single stress for me. The airport is massive, in fact, na train I take to my next Gate Porte (B-22). Went through security check and seated at the Gate Porte with other passengers going to Vancouver. Connected to the free Wi-Fi and made series of video calls. Our flight was delayed for about 2 hours.

Frankfurt to Vancouver was 10+ hours, so I slept, listened to music, watched a movie (Fatherhood) and before I know it, we are ready to land in Vancouver. I went to the self declaration machine, scanned my passport, all information appeared and printed out a receipt. I actually knew my bags would be sent to my final destination but a security officer said it would be in Vancouver. I waited for almost an hour and went to Lufthansa kiosk, the lady checked my details and said it's already sent to Victoria Airport. I went to immigration, spent about 15 minutes and my study permit was out (they only asked for my passport and LOI).

I missed my flight from Vancouver - Victoria. So, I went to the Air Canada kiosk and the lady issued a new boarding pass immediately without kobo. The flight was a short one, around 25 min, so before we knew it we are already in Victoria. When to pick my bags and everything was intact. CBSA didn't check anything, so everything I carried got to my final destination. Went out of the airport, took a yellow taxi to my airbnb accommodation. I was charged $65. If you know anyone that can pick you up at the airport, it'll be nice and save you some money.

Presently, I've got my SIN, Sim card, School ID and Bus Pass (till April 2023), opened bank account, got a permanent accommodation, booked appointment for BCID (British Columbia Identity Card) and preparing for my knowledge test so as to get my driver's licence asap.

Sincerely, if not for the wahala I went through at MMIA, it would have been a 100% stress-free journey. I couldn't even say goodbye to my people, couldn't snap a single shot with my wife and daughter. That thing still dey vex me till this moment.


Things are truly working here, pedestrian owns the road, not drivers. They must wait for you to walk through. Beautiful locations. Deers, squirrels and animals moving around and crossing the road, they no fear say someone go hunt them down
You go see car open mouth, Tesla na like Toyota, you go see one nearly every corner.
Many electric cars and products I've never seen or hear before. Infact, it's really good to experience living in a working system.

I wish everyone hoping and waiting a successful outcome. And to those that'll be flying soon, safe travel. Anyone coming to Victoria can reach out and I'll see how I can be of help/assistance. Thank you

Congratulations! So when do you plan to bring your family?
