Apply for CAQ first, after it has been granted, inform CIC of your switch. For CAQ information; http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/electronic-services/caq-electronic/index.html
It is better to apply for CAQ before coming to Canada

@siga @pchax @mrnillobrown and the house
kindly help me take a look at this paragraph in my SOP

"It should be noted that I haven’t undergone the National Youth Service corp (NYSC) program which all graduates are expected to undergo. I intend to come back and undergo the programme as it is the only way I can legally be at the helms of affairs at my dads company, As without it I cannot successfully bid for a contract. A situation which would spell doom for the company and throw about two decades of hard work of my dad into the bin"

I'll take a bite at this (keep in mind that I am not a VO and it is my personal unprofessional opinion).

Firstly, just a quick glance at presented an air of an informal style of writing (with the mention of "dad" or "dads"wink and also pretty melodramatic (with the use of the word "doom"wink. I believe replacing "dads company" with "family business" would give a more serious feel to what you are describing. Also "a situation which would spell doom for the company" sounds pretty melodramatic and negative. Avoid any form of negativity.

Having said that, I believe every paragraph should have a general point it is trying to make and this specific one is trying to state the fact that you would come back. If I am right, then it doesn't do much to state that point cos your brother or cousin can also take care of our dad's company and succefully bid for contracts if you decide not to come back. Also do you need a Canadian degree to manage your dad's company or do your NYSC. Almost every sentence should show why you need to go get that degree. Also, I wouldn't want the VO to note that I have not done my NYSC.

Permit me to give it a go at reconstruction based on the two reasons you gave (NYSC and Dad's Company). Hey it is a rough scribble so take it with a pinch of salt:

I have got huge interests in Nigeria and I plan coming back to serve my fatherland under the National Youth Service scheme and also to see to the growth of the family business. The family business was started by my father 23 years ago and he has grown it from the ground up and now it employs x staff. I see his dedication to the business and I believe the knowledge I get from getting a masters in blahblahblah would augment his labour over the years and ensure the future growth of the company. Furthermore, getting a Masters in blahblahblah in Canada would not only equip me with the necessarily skills to properly properly manage the business, but would also give me more exposure into blahblahblah and this would profit the business and society at large.

Best of luck!

Hello bosses, pls I need someone studying in Saskatchewan. I have an urgent question for the person. Thanks in anticipation
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 7 by hayqinsbFX: 4:07pm On Feb 24, 2015
i appreciate your reply. I am the only civil engineer amongst my sibliings and im supposed to be the next CEO of the construction company where my dad is the current CEO (as stated in my study leave). So no one can actually do that if im not around.
if i may add its the company thats sponsoring me. Not my dads account.
i need the degree to effectively manage while i need the nysc to legally bid for contracts
i intend to use the nysc as part of home tie. i dont want the VO discovering and there isnt anything to backup why.
zionboo talked abut a mentally challeged brother (thats negative too)
i just believe the VO has to fee something emotional and real when reading.
ill take not of the way of writing.
thanks

It all depends on where you are in Canada, it is in Ontario as well . . . A little north of Thunder bay and you could make enough money in the summer to last you for the school year, but:
You cant be lazy cos you plant in numbers
You have to like bush settings, cos you are in the bush for weeks
You have to be prudent, cos you wont do such a job and spend the money in a stupid way.

when I saw my other people expenses in Canada per month, I now know that I am careful with my spending. When my papa is not Dangote or Otedola. Actually, I understand people in Alberta because that place is expensive to live because of oil money but at least they are chopping big money over there too. This is my little expense per month

Location: Kelowna, British Colombia

Minimum Wages: $10.25/hour

House Rent: $400/month(all utilities inclusive, Shaw cable and internet)

Grocery: $50 depending on my eating that month

transportation: $38/month bus pass to any where(before)

Gas for my car: $50/month depending on my movement or travelling per month(now)

Entertainment: African Magic Yoruba on Youtube grin, premiership, champions league on my shaw cable.

No clubbing grin grin grin

Your deliberate effort to advertise that agent here will not work.


Bro, no disrespect but why will i wanna advertise the agent? My woman just got admission into SAIT, she has been refused visitor visa once (Dec 2014) and I need a professional to work with her during this process that's why i came to this platform to seek advise about them. Bro, i am kinda offended tho but its all good.

Are you kidding me? $500 on grocery shopping for a month? Total living expenses for a month $2,259? Haha wetin you dey chop? Camel and horse follow? Na inside pool you dey live? Your expenses really look unreal. Even CIC estimated yearly na $10,000. Your own don reach and pass $27,000, why na? When you never get family yet.

Even if na true, as a student you can always cut the cost, there are many things to use money to do, living extravagantly doesn't make any sense now - until you graduate.

Anyways, enjoy your life! smiley



LMFAO. Bro, i no be student na. No worry when you grad i go follow up with you for an update on grocery budget. When I was a student $150 a month don do me for grocery (Food Bank once once lol). Take care Bro.
