.
in that IMM5645 form, there are columns for parent's marital status, parent's occupation, etc. My question is, if one's parent is deceased, what should one fill in the marital and occupation columns? should they be left blank? Thanks

Blank. Most important are dates of birth and death.

Why would you allow him to use hus family as his home ties. Don't even try it. It may be disastrous.
JMG12:
Hello, congratulations on your admission.
1. I will advise you apply only while you use your family as home ties, if you get your visa approved then you can put in for them.
2. Then don't need PAL, likewise you, if you are accepted for a master's or phd program you are eligible to come with your dependent, if otherwise they are not eligible except on tourist visa.

If no one has ever told you this, buy you're very disgusting sha o. Cos! Wtf is this?

Say for example, my total cost (Tuition, + Accommodation + Living expenses+ Miscellaneous) is say 70k CAD.

But I have already paid the complete tuition fee, remaining 35k CAD. So I want to show POF for 35k CAD

Will IRCC demand to know how I paid the tuition fee when I apply for study permit?
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by JMG12: 9:40am On May 08
It is not disastrous. If he has the finance to cover for the entire family and he is able to convince the VO that it is not relocation pathway, it's fine, but if otherwise, then he should apply first after getting his approval, he can submit for the other family members.

What will you advice he do?

Going by the example you mentioned, you can show 35k CAD.

Great people here, I have been following this page for a while to learn more updates about studying in Canada, and the posts and comments here have really been helpful.

I want to begin my admission process. I have a wife and one child, but I’m thinking of applying alone first and then allowing them to come and meet me later in Canada.

I’m looking for recommendations for public colleges or affordable universities in Canada that offer:

A 1-year postgraduate diploma or graduate certificate
Tuition deposit not above 10,000 CAD
January 2027 intake
DLI and PGWP eligible programs

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management with a GPA of 3.3.

I would really appreciate recommendations for affordable schools and provinces with lower living costs. Thank you so much everyone 🙏🏾

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by undespicable: 12:24pm On May 08
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. My school did not ask for any initial payment, I already have the LOA, in the letter of acceptance, it is stated that the estimated tuition fee for 1 year is ~$16,200 CAD, do you advise I pay the 15% though the school did not request for any down payment, or do you advise I submit my application documents together with financial documents to IRCC without down payment? According to the letter of acceptance, tuition fee will be available in the portal from July.

Also, yes I have all my tax return from the government website for 4yrs+ I will submit 3 years 2023-2025 together with bank statement of 6 months, I can submit 1yr if it acceptable, though I feel it'll be a lot of documents, since I plan to include 6 months payslips, and my employment contract. Lastly yes I have my permit of residence, I plan to include that as well. For now I think the clarification is if I need to pay a certain percent of tuition fee or if it's ok to submit and pay the full 1yr in July once my student portal is updated with the actual amount not estimate. Currently there's nothing in my student portal, just my letter of acceptance from accepting the offer of admission.

I really appreciate your comments.

amnotapervert:
You are on the right track. Just a suggestion off the top of my mind add your 2 or 3 years of tax returns if possible. Two years should be okay, but more than two is even better....it shows that you have made a good income overtime and that money your have saved is from that income Also, make your bank statement cover at least 6 months.

Have you paid the acceptance fee for your admission? It is normally around 15% of your first-year tuition, as most schools ask for it.

If not, ask your school if you can make an initial payment before anything else. They will also tell you the exact amount to pay.

Do not overpay. There is a reason for that. With the school payment receipt, include the receipt in your application and also show that the payment came from your income. It should reflect in your bank statement, so point it out clearly.

Also include your residence permit for the country you are currently staying in. Anything you can show to prove that you obey rules and regulations and that you are legally residing in your current country will help.

I wish you all the best.

You are on a Very good track.

May I ask which country’s PR you have?

Also, include proof of your PR status in the country where you currently live.

Yes, please add your tax returns with your name and all relevant information on them.

This is

(1) Bank statements for the last 6 months ( I don't know how banks in the country do it but in nigeria you ask bank for bank statement and official bank reference letter)

(2) Tax returns for the last 3 years

(3) Pay stubs for the last 6 months

(4) Your employment letter

(5) include a letter explaining how you saved the amount of money and calculating your projected saving and cost of things and how much you have to make payment for everything 

You can attach all this document into one as POF

As for the school fee payment, before making any payment, email the school and explain that you would like to apply for a student visa before July. Mention that you would like to make an initial payment of about $4,000 CAD to your student account to show IRCC that you are committed to the program.

Tell them you want to use this initial deposit as proof of commitment and financial capability for your visa application. Make the email professional.

The school will likely agree and provide your student number, student account details, and payment instructions.

I know that 15% of $16,000 is about $2,400, but ask the school what amount they recommend. In my opinion, do not pay more than $4,000 CAD because, if the visa is refused God forbid the school should refund your exact payment amount according to their refund policy. That is why it is important to email the school first.... if they say pay the whole $16,000 that's also ok as long as the school said you should make the payment

If they do not allow the payment, you can still use the email response as proof to IRCC that you were willing to make an initial deposit to show commitment.

If they agree and you make the payment, make sure you get an official receipt from your student account showing that the payment was made...I am sure you can download the receipt from the school portal

IRCC understands that people can have money sitting in their accounts, but they also want to see willingness to actually spend the money on tuition, because sometimes the money may not truly belong to the applicant.

In your case, you are trying to show IRCC that the money belongs to you and that you are genuinely willing and able to pay for your education.

It they have license then yes

Mavor:
Thank you. Are you familiar with all finance solutions like Raenest (formely Geegpay) that remote workers use to receive USD or EUR salary and also offer virtual USD card services for online payments?

If for example, I have my savings in USD on such platforms, are their bank statements acceptable for POF?
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by dsureguy: 6:28pm On May 08
That's not true... I have used such in the past

Mavor:
No what I am seeing is that the money has to be in USD account in commercial banks like Access, First Bank, etc

Unless you are doing YAHOO that is when you should be scared to submit the online platforms u getting money from because not just submitting you will prove what you did for those money to come.
Those platforms do not allow their platforms to be used for yahoo or even sports betting sef that is legal in Nigeria.
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by Rahab409: 11:38pm On May 08
No, please.

Deceased suffices.

That IRCC will reject bank statements from such platorms. That only bank statements of dom accounts from commercial banks are deemed acceptable.

Oghenerukoko:
Good morning. I don't know if I should say I am new here because I've been following this platform since last year and have been able to get my admission from the posts I read here. Kudos to Soltech1000, Okonkwobestman1, Sopwriter, Gloriousange. I read all of you posts one by one. I want to start my visa and I have questions.

1 We are family of 4 and all our children are minors. If the money is not the problem, would you advise me to leave my family behind or apply with them?
2 Will my wife and children need their own PAL?

Thank you

1. I understand money isn't a problem here, but note that your ties are equally important. Applying with your whole family might make the visa officer doubt whether you will return to Nigeria. However, you could go ahead if you have strong anchors like property, business, or extended family back home. Regardless, I would still recommend you apply alone for now and establish that you are a genuine student enrolled in a DLI before bringing your family over.

2. Neither you nor your family needs a PAL. Your wife is applying for an Open Work Permit (not a study permit), so she doesn't need a PAL. Your minor children can hold visitor records, and a PAL is absolutely unnecessary for that as well.

Wishing you good luck.
