Okay. Thank you
You can open the GIC from Nigeria yourself.

Step 1…Open a dom account on your name (my wife used Access Bank for hers 2years ago).
Step 2…Have your girlfriend/fiancee transfer the funds to your dom account (I used WU to transfer the money to my wife’s dom).
Step 3…Open a GIC account with CIBC. After the account has been opened, CIBC will give you thorough details (including codes I think) of how to have the money deposited into your GIC account from your Naija Dom.
Step 4…Print the instructions from CIBC and go to any of the Big Access Bank in Lagos (Preferably in Ikeja if you’re in Lagos) because not all of their branches do it. My wife couldn’t get it done in Ogun State and she had to travelled to Lagos.

I really can’t remember the full details but I’m sure Access will charge you substantial fees for this and the money should arrive in your CIBC GIC account within 5business days after it’s deducted from your Naija Dom account.

Note: I did a 13k cad into the gic for a one year program at the time for just living expenses after paying her full tuition of about 19k cad. This is a great way to show them you have funds for your upkeep already in Canada. She went to CIBC the following day she got to Canada and she was able to opened an account with CIBC and first installment of 4k cad was deposited in her account and the rest comes in installments for the next 11months. She’s been in Canada for almost 2years now.

Good luck to you.

I got a refusal letter on Friday. The officer's reason was that they are unable to have access to 'mybankstatement' document that was sent alongside my statement of account. Meanwhile I have submitted same with the statement of account. And therefore I was refused due to insufficient POF. Please, I need someone to please shed more light on this.
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by ATTAHDYE(m): 2:28pm On Oct 12, 2025
Sorry about that.

This is a case where the reason for denial is beyond your control.

It is possible that ticket you attached was not clear or there was a system failure that made it impossible to access the mybankstatement.

My advice is that you redo the mybankstatement ticket, pay close attention to how you scan your documents and reapply.

IMO when applying for visa with Dependant Just make sure you have the POF and Income to move to Canada with your dependants

Anyone closest to you. Biometrics doesn’t involve much, just to capture your identity just like when you do BVN.

Please, list all universities in Alberta province that offer PGD in Business Administration for a Lower Credit graduate of HND in Business Administration, preferably in and around Calgary.

Semtu:
A word of advice for everyone pursuing a study visa in Canada. Avoid private universities or public universities with private partnerships as much as you can, they are only after your money. After graduating from such schools, you will not be able to get a job with that degree or diploma as it’s basically worthless.

This is because private schools have really bad reputation now, many admit several thousands international students yearly just because of the money since they charge international students about x10 what they charge Canadian Students. Many employers have realized this as well, and more often than not eliminate applicants from these universities during the hiring process. Some notable schools that employers avoid are University Canada West, Cape Breton, Fanshawe, …

I would advice to do a thorough research on schools you apply to so you don’t spend all that money, then unable to get a job after graduation and have to return home.

Conestoga is one of the schools in this category. Conestoga even with the high fees admitted over 14k international students this past year, many of whom end up not being able to get a job because employers blacklist their resumes. There are several others in similar situation as well.
Please, is it ok presently to study at Cape Breton University, are they still being regarded as one of the Degree Mills in Canada, and are they still being blacklisted by Employers in Canada? Please, those who have a personal experience about Cape Breton in and after graduating, should share their experiences with me.

There are cases like this that are simply out of one's control. Some even use only a statement of account and get approved. The visa officer no try since you attached Mybankstatement with your actual statement of account. Just try again if the money is still intact. Attach the new MyBankStatement and Statement of account. Pay full first-year tuition if you have not.

It will be another story if the money has disappeared from the account. You would likely need to defer and reapply later. It is advisable not to withdraw more than 10% of the funds in the account until the approval is granted because of unique cases like this.

All the best.

Getting admission and a PAL from the school is step 1.
The study visa is step 2.

No one will take the time to guide you through the process unless you’re paying them or you take the time and go online and keep finding credible information online.

Also make sure you have the money for the program he is going for Money as in liquid cash is very important

During this process, you’ll come across many fake visa officers on Facebook — always make sure to go through the proper channels, because you don’t want to jeopardize your brother’s future.

Search for licenced immigration consultant in your city https://register.college-ic.ca/Public-Register-EN/RCIC_Search.aspx
