This is kinda harsh. You could have worded this better. 1.7M is a lot of more to over 90% of Nigerians. Message well received tho.

MarksmanD:
Apologies if you find my message offensive but that is the truth. The beauty about japa is that when it all clicks, the reward outweighs the risk. There are risk you need to take first to get the reward and a deposit is part of it. I wish you all the best on your Canadian journey.

Hello Everyone,

I recently got admitted into a post graduate diploma program in IT with a concentration in Business Analysis at NBCC. I hold the Nigeria certificate in Education (Economics/ geography) which was obtained in 2015. Since then, I have been working as a teacher teaching Business studies and ICT in a private school. I want to pivot into IT as I believe that’s the future. My sponsor will be my brother but I’m unsure how to properly package my application. I have no travel experience, I’m 29 and this will be my first time applying for a visa to any country.

Additional my school require a non refundable deposit of $1500 cad which I’m not sure of paying due to Visa uncertainty.

Please advise me.

A close family member like a brother is always preferred for study permit sponsorship. So, you can use him as the sponsor if he has the required finance (1yr tuition fee + 20,635+ flight cost), a reliable source of funds for the subsequent year. You have to show your relationship (birth certificates should suffice) and a history of financial support (not just from your brother) from your brother to you and other family members (parents and siblings) if applicable. Let him pay the 1500 CAD from his account to show commitment.

Although you can apply IT in most fields, I am unconvinced that your proposed program aligns with your current occupation. Can you justify the study being a reasonable expense for this career? An IT or business-related occupation would have been convincing. If you intend to move ahead with this program in relation to your occupation, ensure that the program's purpose is well articulated on your SoP to avoid the issue of digression. You are responsible for persuading the immigration officer about your intentions to study the program.

Hello,

Thank you for the detailed response. I sincerely appreciate. Considering all that has been said here, I would ask him to pay the deposit from his account while we work on paying at least the first semester tuition. My program is for One year so I’m not expected to show POF for a second year.

Like you rightly pointed out, IT can be applied to literally all aspect of life and business. While my genuine intention is to pivot into a Business analyst role, I can also word it as I would be coming back to bridge the gap in migrating/onboarding school operations where I currently work from non internet based learning environments to an internet integrated environment along with utilizing my IT skills and knowledge I will gain from the program to bridge the gap between students, teachers and school administrators .

I will be in your DMs. Thank you so much.

You should apply to a program that aligns with your work experience and look at the list of courses with a long-term shortage of jobs before applying for a program. Do your research on the University or College.

What are the documents you submitted to proof the property sale in respect of the lump sum on account? Deed of assignment between you the seller and buyer, does the buyer"s name reflect on your bank statement for the lump sum, naration for the lump sum, valuation report that determines the property value, copies of previous documents possessed by you on the property .

Secondly, what are the documents submitted to show the business is functional and viable. Like the company's bank statement, tax certificate, audited report, letter of awards of contract or to provide a service etc.

It goes beyond just explanation in your SOP, logically convincing documents are to be provided to butress every claim.

Good luck!!
