Good morning everyone... please is it mandatory to fund a GIC account for study visa purpose?
Thanks

SOPWriter:
IRCC's focus is on the total amount available and the legitimacy of your funds, not the specific personal account used to pay your fees. So, focus on demonstrating you have a guaranteed financial capacity and a documented source to back it up.

Wishing you good luck.

I greet everybody in the house

I reside in Sweden and I want to pay tuition fee and provide a sponsorship bank statement for my brother in Nigeria to study a Graduate Certificate program in Canada.

Please, I want to know if it’s possible. Must a sponsor reside in Nigeria.

No...... I don't know the craziness behind GIC account opening it does not guaranteed anything.....

amnotapervert:
He should reapply but also needs to make some changes if he is still using the inlaw as a sponsor

Once you can properly answer the big question..why the in-law wants to sponsor you......that is when the chances of getting the visa improve. Aside from that, nothing else really matters as much.

The in-law should ideally show a history of supporting the applicant in the past, but many people don not have that.

One strong approach I always say is for the in-law to pay the acceptance fee (usually about 15% of the first-year tuition) before applying for the visa.

This payment can be submitted as proof to the visa officer, showing that the in-law is genuinely willing to sponsor and has already taken action. It helps.........but it’s not everything.

The in-law should also provide this details it helps IRCC to know more about the inlaw:

Tax records for the past 3 years
A letter clearly explaining why they are sponsoring (this must directly answer the “WHY”)
Business tax documents or an employment letter showing income
Proof of sufficient savings, with a clear source that matches their income
Proof of their immigration status in their country of residence
A breakdown of their financial obligations, showing they can sponsor without financial strain

Inlaw need to give IRCC more than they are asking way way more

Everything has to add up logically like if someone is reading it it should make so much sence....

Sometimes, the issue is not even the documents themselves it’s how they are presented. Even with a good explanation, if the paperwork is not properly done, rejection is very likely.

Memorial University of Newfoundland is one of the cheapest schools you can attend in Canada.

Right now, the Canadian job market is not what it was after 2021, but it still depends heavily on your skills and experience.

https://www.jobbank.gc.ca/trend-analysis
https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1410028703

As for PR, it is not guaranteed.......but nothing in life is guaranteed except death. So you have to plan wisely.

Think carefully about all your options. Check whether you currently qualify for any PR category-based draws.

If you come to Canada to study and later work, and you can get up to 500 CRS points, which may qualify you for a CEC draw after graduation if not you need to rethink about it.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/mandate/policies-operational-instructions-agreements/ministerial-instructions/express-entry-rounds.html

However, with current trends, scores may remain around that range for a long time, especially if you are not in an in-demand field.

The school itself is solid ranked among the top 30 universities in Canada.....and still one of the most affordable options.

When it comes to jobs, it depends on your skills. The Canadian job market is very competitive, but you can find a job if you have the right skills and are persistent. Just be prepared.........it may take time.

And again, PR is not guaranteed. Age is not on your side you will school and work for 3 years before you start looking at PR options, except you focus on category-based draws or a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) if you are coming to canada

See pulling of legs.

I was thinking you would have told him/her "NO".

And redirect him/her to a Certified Canadian Immigration Consultant.

Please reshare that list again!

ou dey mind amnotapervert? him the find who to lure to his agents

I was expecting you to point him towards the 7 legitimate agents in Nigeria. LOL

AbelAbdul:
You are bent on discouraging people from coming to Canada. I saw your post where you told a member to book the next flight to MM1.

SOPWriter:
Thanks for your kind words, Ezini.

Regarding your question, your 2:1 puts you in a strong position academically, so I think you should opt for a Master's program instead. This is because, unless you fit into certain professional programs like law, health, engineering, or education, spouses of students in diploma or undergraduate programs are generally no longer eligible for an Open Work Permit. The only alternative is a Visitor Visa, which would not allow them to work.

I'm sorry if I wrongly assumed your dependents are your spouse and kids, but the bottom line is, if you want your spouse to be able to work in Canada while you study, a Master's degree is your most reliable path. However, if your dependents are your children, your choice of diploma wouldn't do much harm and they can still accompany you, but they would need either a study permit or a visitor visa, depending on their ages.

AbelAbdul:
How can one get 500 CRS points?
Which job(s) or skill(s) is in-demand right now in Canada?

amnotapervert:
Before coming to Canada If your purpose is to stay in Canada after schooling and your Post graduate work permit

I want you to use the CRS calculator to determine your exact points without studying or working in Canada.

Then, do another calculation assuming you study and work in Canada for 3 years.

If, after comparing both results, you still don’t reach 500 points for CEC, you should think twice and consider focusing on PNP, French, or category-based draws.

FYI Max your IELTS score when testing or you know what you can get when you write English exam

Whuch province is better for the PNP?

amnotapervert:
You have 3 questions I will help with the best of my knowledge to help

1. Will IRCC ask where the investment money came from?

Yes very likely IRCC does not just look at the final balance, they look at the Source of funds , History of the funds like paper trail and Consistency of your financial story.

If you suddenly show a large amount (like tuition + living expenses), they may request Bank statements (6–12 months) , Proof of sale (if you claim property sale), Investment records and Income history
A certificate alone from an “investment firm” is not enough if the origin of funds is unclear.


2. The investment certificate strategy can be a problem

from what you described the Investment firm gives 6-month certificate the the money will matures and the money shows in your account as POF

I really would like to know the name of this investment firm that gives this kind of return because it looks somehow to me just saying

and to IRCC it will raises red flags because It can look like temporary fund parking which IRCC may suspect the money is borrowed or not genuinely yours and over time I have seen many applicants have been refused using similar “investment certificate” approaches

IRCC knows and has seen it all

3. Using property sale as source can it work?

Yes, but only if it is fully documented and genuine using a Land lawyer from start to finish of the process

Proof of ownership, Sale agreement, Proof of payment received (bank transfer, not cash ideally), Timeline showing money flow to investment your account....

If you do not have documents Or try to “construct” the story after the fact that becomes misrepresentation and a 5 year ban is waiting for you that's the hard side of using sale of land when not fully documented well.

IMO.......Avoid complicated Short-term investments, investment certificate or anything of that Nature for POF
