I don’t even know. He sent a Nairaland email to me, I replied via email. Next he WhatsAppd, introduced himself. I thought he wanted to help me make the right decision based on my first msg here. He said a lot of things about being an agent but I have to pay him first.

ATTAHDYE:
So you're calling him a scammer because he asked you to pay him?

It is not like you have paid for his services and he disappeared?

Are you sure you're not overdoing it?

There is no question that you're going to ask on this forum that have not been asked and answered over and over.

If you don't want to pay for services, all you have to do is read through the pages or wait for someone who is free to respond to your questions.

Ok, one is an impersonator, though both of them can not be trusted. Freedomtours is into fraudulent activities and i have banned him far too many times now.

Fredomtours is impersonating him to carry out the same thing

Most of the time, it’s good to ask AI some certain things … VO officer can think that you elder brother who is a citizen is there permanently and you want to use the same way to travel without coming back

Hi Family! it’s good to see the thread still waxing strong and helping so many get positive results.

this thread was incredibly valuable to me in ‘22 when i was applying as a student and i’ve referred many friends here who have also revived their visas and are now in Canada so i’ve been a silent member for years lol.

I now have a question i feel like the gurus here would have the best answers to. a friend applied with what was seemingly an airtight application but received a rejection this morning and she is distraught.

i guess she overproved financial backing in canada, her brother is a citizen, paid her fees in full, opened a GIC with living expenses and she would be staying with him during her studies but her reason for rejection is that her ties to canada are too strong and they’re not convinced she would be returning home after her studies.

so now my question is, how can she prove stronger ties to nigeria? the rest of the family is in nigeria and her original application stated she would be returning to take over their parents school so i’m wondering how else can she prove this? she provided documents like CAC and the like, would it help to have the parents will the school to her? we are totally confused on next steps and would appreciate any insights

thank you all so much

Brief background: I completed my SSCE in 2018, then in 2022 I gained admission to a university in Benin Republic, but the result was later disqualified by the government, which affected my study plans.

I later moved to Barcelona in May 2024, where I completed a 1-year diploma in Business Management in June 2025. I’m now planning to move into a skilled trade, so I’d appreciate advice on whether this change of field could affect study permit approval and how best to justify the switch.

I’m also working on arranging proof of funds through legitimate means and would appreciate guidance from those who have successfully prepared theirs and @SOP writer i tried to message you on whatsapp but the number is not connected. i want you to help me structure my SOP

Good people of God,

I need all the support and responses I can get please and thank you.

My lil sis have 2.2 in Business Education, she had initially applied for a visit visa in 2024 and was denied Jan 2025. Currently, she gained admission to study Disability Profession at Saskpoly she have some certification from Alison on this course as well. Currently, working at a clinic as part time support worker

Tuition fee :CAD 20,400
Deposit of CAD 5,300 made

Tuition Balance: CAD 15,100
Living Expenses: CAD 22,895
Misc expenses : CAD 3,000

Total : CAD 40,995 x N998 = N40,913,010 using oanda rate as of today.

Question 1) This is what we need as proof of funds, right?

She has a business and personnal account with sum of N16m Our elder sis has been catering for her since our mom passed away, she made the tuition deposit for her, and she wants to send her about N24m to her account this is going to be a lump sum but we will back it up with letter and affidavit (deed of gift), reason is we don't want the VO to think she doesn't have access to the fund.

My elder sister will also be providing her personnal and business account which will show how the payment was made to her account

Question 2) Does all of these looking convincing?

Question 3) Are upfront medical still required for study permit?

Question 4) Does she need to use GCKEY for study permit or she can use the new portal she used when she applied for visit visa?

Question 5) Study permit and Coop work permit, how do we apply for this together?

Reason for last rejection - Financial grounds - No enough funds on her own. Then it was elder's sister account mainly.


Home tie -

a) Business in Nigeria, - CAC, proof of invoice, tax clearance
b) Her current part time job, career advancement after completion of school
c) In charge of Mom's house
d) Fiance in Nigeria
e) Father in Nigeria
f) Siblings, Nephews
g) providing affidavit of return

Thanks.

It is sad after putting such effort to analyze her profile, and you already resolved it will go through, and then you get the most devastating news.
Ways to prove strong home ties: add her employment letter, payslip, study leave letter, and recommendation. If she is working with her mom in the school, make it a family business and prove that she has been actively part of the school, because for someone who has not been a part of the business to suddenly want to take over is a red flag. Include a relationship if she has one; explain how excited she would be to return for marriage. Include a letter or board resolution of the new appointment to take over the business, which will be contingent on her return, and you can notarize it.

All the best.

Hello everyone,

I recently gained admission to a school in Newfoundland, Canada, and I am currently 23 years old. I would like to seek your professional advice regarding Proof of Funds (POF) for my study permit application.

Would it be more advisable to present my personal bank account as proof of funding, or to apply using my parents as sponsors? I have received mixed information suggesting that using a personal bank account may be preferable, and I would greatly appreciate your guidance and experience on this matter.

Thank you in advance for your support.
