Republic001:
Hello house...When applying for Visa, how many accounts can I submit for SOA! Am planning to submit my father statement of account who is the sponsor. Buh am having two accounts one is my business account and the other wud be containing my tuition fee which I open last year...can I submit both of my accounts with my father's!. And again, is it only court marriage certificate that can be used as home ties...can I use my wedding pictures too as as prrof of home ties cos I did not do court marriage or I shd just claim single for now

I don't think there is any rule stating the numbers of account to be submitted, but the fewer the better anyways. Please use MBS for the accounts.

If you claimed to be legally married, then it would be advisable to provide a document in addition with the pictures to back your claim. Please if you are not single, don't claim single especially if you plan to bring your wife with you to Canada later.

Please after getting letter of acceptance, please what should I do next? I am a newbie.please help

Meet the conditions on the LOA (if there is any)

Put your documents together

Separate them into CLIENT INFORMATION & PROOF OF MEANS OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT.

Merge the necessary ones using the combination of ILovePdf, tinywow.com and collage where applicable. Pay for your visa & biometric. Submit your application.


Go for your biometric. Go for upfront medical if you wish.

Then wait and pray

Hi guys.

Please has anyone submitted their passport to Abuja IRCC recently and gotten it back.

Submitted my passport on the 1st of February and the last update I got from Vfs was that it was delivered to IRCC Abuja got processing on Monday 6th.

Please anyone in the same shoes ?

Please i need, I am submitting documents using old old portal

In the Pof section, apart from Bank statement, what other documents do i have to attach with it.

Documents that i have to upload,

1. Property/land sale document to explain lump sum
2. Company registration ( CAC) document, business sign board, product pictures, invoice, email with clients, Business instagram page, website
3. Landed property documents, c of o, survey plan and deed.
4. Property Valuation certificate

I know some other document will be in client information, but i want to know which to upload with Bank statement and tuition payment to the pof section.

Also, those that have had more than 3 employment activities in the last 10 years, how did you complete that section, i printed an empty employment section and filled the remaining activities so i can scan and add to my imm1294e but there's no way for me to merge it, so how do i get passed there.

BenedictStinson:
Inform the school of your visa decision attaching evidence I'm sure they will put you on a May or September slot.

Okay thanks

Let me mention that I did not include Police character certificate, land documents or other property documents because I do not have any of those things. It is true that 2 applications cannot be the same, sometimes too much of documents even can get Visa Officers confused. The above listed documents were all I submitted. It is good to read people's TL to be encouraged but some TL will get you intimidated and confused. My application was a self- sponsored. And all I submitted as POF was 10.4m

I am a first time applicant and I have never traveled out of Nigeria before. I never enter plane before self despite the fact that I work at the airport until last month that I went for medical and biometric. Travel history is not a criteria.

The total of my tuition for the 1 year is about 20,000 cad + 10,000 cad living expenses+ 3000 cad miscellaneous.

How I addressed POF.

My salary is around 100k. I knew for sure that it is too little to present as monthly earnings. what I did was to use all the 1.7m I had in 2021 to buy Toyota Corolla. I planned running bolt with it for a good 1 year before submitting my application. I explained that I drive my car on bolt platform on part-time basis anytime am off duty. Each month I make sure i make over 100k net profit from bolt. I submitted 12 months MBS to show that I truly make such money from bolt. I collected a loan of 8m from a co-op society, collected 2m from a friend because I knew the 8m won't be enough to show as POF. I wrote in the LOE that this my friend was a long time friend (classmate) which was true. He had sent money to me (vice versa) severally in 2022. I also showed pictures of us together in 3 different occasions (in school,at my engagement and at a function) and also included his international passport. Someone in Canada even advised that I should not include him that nobody gives anyone such money in Canada, that even parents don't give their children money. But I had no other story to cook because the money had already been sent to my account. I also made sure I paid 1m into my spouse account to augment her salary for her and the children's upkeep so the VO will believe that nobody go press my neck for money in Canada. In my LOE, I also mentioned that while I would be away, there is an arrangement on ground to employ a driver that will drive my car on a FULL TIME basis with weekly remittance of #30,000 to my account and to be managed by my spouse. The weekly 30k + my monthly salary+ other annual benefits from my employer resulted to additional 3m+ (about 10k cad)

How I addressed hometie

Apart from the fact that my family (spouse and children) and job are strong home tie. I became a volunteer with Red cross society of Nigeria just for the purpose of ID card and pictures, and I got that. I also collected a letter from my church. You can buy a pet (🐶, 🐱, 🦁, chicken 🐔) and add it to yours as hometie in your application. Include their vetinary cards and other documents.

Please note, keep your application as simple as possible, no allow NL use TL press your neck. Submit your application as early as possible so you can have peace of mind, and plan your departure well. All the experience I have today was gotten from here because I have been following since 2020. I also handled a friend's application last year. Submitted application Aug 16, 2022 and PPr Dec 26, 2022.... In all one cannot rule out the importance of prayers. I read here where people engage in different and lengthy spiritual practices. I also prayed and fasted for just 3 days and God got involved.

Submit your pending applications now......

I pray that God will come through for as much as many applications this year, especially those ones that that overdue/overstayed for a decision.

I'm available to answer questions hear....if you come to my TL for private engagement or documents, na billing ooooo.... Looking for Raba noww

But baba ur own documents sef choke oooo 😆 car ,documents, bolt earnings and even primary testimonial.....congrats bro

They offer courses in customer service

I want to move 1 million naira from my account in bank A to another account in Bank B which I intend to use for PoF. I wonder if that will be considered as a lump sum and raise some red flags?

cuttestprince:
Boss,you are on point,bsc mathematics and I chose human resources management in seneca
I was thinking the same,but my agent chose hrm,he chose 8month program and I frown at it but since he knows better, I had kept mute

What are you doing presently? If you are working, fo how long?

That agent spoilt everything. Request for CBSA to tackle VO concerns. Dont use agent again. You can do this yourself. You just need someone/expert to walk with you thru this journey. Don't pay anyone again please

Pls.what do u mean by MBS

There are school that will take you. You just need more research. If you know the possible courses that aligns with your studies and career progression.then go to google. Search canadian university that offer****** that program. It will being out a list of schools then you start searching thier requirements one after the other. This is something you can do.

Thanks, what do you mean your JD?

Hello house.

I studied health education but about to apply for web development course in a college.
I know it doesn’t tally with my undergraduate course but I have been taking online courses on web development on udemy and some other platforms. Could this increase my chances if included in my LOE or do i need to show a certificate? (I haven’t completed the course so i don’t have that yet)

Submit all you have
As for me I got my ppr, I submitted 4 different Statement of Accounts (SOA). One SOA was over 40pages sef lol. I didn't use My Bank Statement (MBS)
Just make sure you merge and compress very well.
Good luck.

Republic001:
Hello house...When applying for Visa, how many accounts can I submit for SOA! Am planning to submit my father statement of account who is the sponsor.

And again, is it only court marriage certificate that can be used as home ties...can I use my wedding pictures too as as prrof of home ties cos I did not do court marriage or I shd just claim single for now
