You may seek a professional advise because it is rare to see a couple applying at the same time for study permit, even at times it is difficult tht VO will give then even if one is accompanying the other is there is no very strong home ties, most pple always wait to have the study permit first then invite their spouses thereafter.
Honestly to avoid both of u been refused, try n seek pro advise, studying in canada is expensive and none of u have any schorlarship, no convincing co sponsor,he is sponsoring himself,it s rarely tht one sponsors oneself witout any aid or very strong co sponsor and get it. U need to check it well so tht both of u won't loss out eventually, canada TRV is not a joke or child play

Okay you feel we should not apply at the same time. But he has made payments for his school fees, hes first semester fees has been paid. if he now request for refund and all that and i add him as my depend ant. Will my he be able to study later on after getting open work permit if successful. Because he actually wants to study too genuinely, and may even come back cos he will be giving study letter of maximum of months from his employer. We decided to apply differently because he wants to study too, and on the CIC web,if one doesn't apply before entering u will apply outside Canada for study permit.[ ]

if both are going for studies and they can satisfy the VO on all fronts, finances, study leave letter,etc, i see no reason why both cannot get the visa really.Its all about satisfying the VO based on hard evidence not emotions.imagine if they have like 10m, paid tuition,both working, have properties, gotten study leave,why will they not be given?i think they have a great chance!

Hello NLers,

Can see you are doing a superb work enlightening academic enthusiasts.

I am currently pursuing a master degree in petroleum engineering for falls 2015.

I have applied to a few universities
Memorial (admitted) MASc Oil And Gas Engineering
Dalhousie (admitted) M.Eng Chemical Engineering
Regina (Pending) M.Eng Petroleum System Engineering
Calgary (Pending)M. Eng Petroleum Engineering
Alberta (Rejected)

I'll like to solicit your advice on the offer I should take out of the available 4.
Also how do I go about fInancial funding as none has given me a scholarship.
With plans to obtain a Permanent Visa and work experience which takes priority.
Lastly, do well to give me an idea of cost of living, tuition and miscellaneous fees of each school.

Please is there a specific format sponsors' letters ( Affidavit of sponsorship, letter of sponsorship)
I truely respect your commitments and efforts NLers, many will not know the value of these information until they are billed rather handsomely.

Peter P.

for the permanent residence part, visit the page of each of the province you interested in and read up about how to immigrate as an international student, should give you an idea of what is required after your program.
On work experience, you might have to also check for jobs in your line of work in each province where your schools are to have an idea of what they require.
on idea of cost of living,etc, go to your each school page, for your tuition and other fees, accommodation (1 bedroom) is usually $600 monthly and groceries $400,(upwards) depends on you, the province and specific area.you can visit kijiji.ca and look up rent for your area.

@diamoonds4ever

From my research.

Decisions on visa application made from different countries are bounded by different conditions

For Nigeria as a developing country and a very low level of living there are more stringent conditions.

You can go by this thread and ask how many people have gotten TRV by going for an UG at 28.
You can ask few of your friends studying in CA for UG They will tell u that there are very old people in their classes but they are never
Nigerians or africans....mostly Asians, Indians or arabs.

If you say he should apply, he really could as there's nothing God cannot do. All we can do here is to advise on how to make our chances of TRV higher

Hayquins, again i will fault you on your research and misconception.The fact that people don't usually say their age in this thread is probably why you have no idea that people above 28 get TRV for UG. fyi, i am very well above 30, got my TRV for a diploma prog, not postgrad diploma.Like someone said earlier, they cannot be biased based on age, that is why you do not see them tick age when they deny people.
it's simple, convince the VO by satisfying all the requirements and you will get it.don't place roadblocks in people's path, always say,"in your opinion" on things you don't have in black or white.You always hammer on age,it is not written anywhere as a yardstick,so,its not a criterion for trv; it has absolutely nothing to do with anyone's application.
if i can get it at over 30, anyone can get it!

I'm sure u didn't go for UG at 30...a dip is max a year or 2...andwith good employment istory in that field u myt be good.
And besides no one is saying anything for sure...if you got it and you're one in twenty or even more...its still a cause for concern

Guyss like standupguy, mrnillobrown and others would tell u for sure age is a very huge factor.

you don't know that bro, let them submit, do you know if they have very good jobs? Do you know what they have as per finances and assets?
There is a possibility they might be denied and also same probability that they will be granted.Don't let's always discourage, we have ideas on areas they can hit them on,i.e home ties and finances.let them work on that and let's see how far.

@akanni. I really love your clarification and I never knew someone above 28yrs old has gotten TRV with a diploma LOA... Please help me I am 28yrs , I graduated 2010, finished NYSC 2012 and since 2012 I've been working with the state government and also doing a volunteering job in my parent's NGO that focuses on child and youth care development. I have a degree in accounting Education and I also got admission into a diploma program in Early childhood care education. I was refused last year November due to employment situation and personal assets, travel history. Please I need to be very sure if I have a chance of getting TRV with my age and the level of program I am going for before I apply again next week because I have already try to get a resignation letter from my present employer because what I am doing there is not related to the program I'm going for. Pls mr akanni I need your piece of advice sir because u have experience. Thank u

exactly!!!
It's not necessarily the age!!!There are other important things they look at; why the prog? how is it connected to what you are doing presently? if I got it despite my age, does that not tell you that age is not the issue?If there are others that did not get it, did they state age as reason for denial? Do not categorically say age is the issue, that's all!Emphasis should be more on finances and job, it's hard especially without a job or gap in work history and documents/personal statement of account. weldone bros, i know you mean well but there are lots we don't understand,s o, let's keep our hopes high and try cover all grounds...age is not the issue.

Every case is different and like hayqins said, "we just trying to better our chances".The good thing for you is that you have an idea on the area to work on.Your SOP has to be rock solid to convince the VO on why a diploma in early childhood care education is necessary.I don't know what you do in the state government but your volunteer work might have made you develop a passion for that particular area of work so, convince them.If you can get documents from the organization you volunteer for, it can be added to your SOP.
Employment situation: Did you include your letter of employment, payslips, statement of account showing where your salary goes into, your savings, sponsor SOA,etc.Also, properties or other type of investments you have or your sponsors? If you can do all this and support with prayer, i say you have a wonderful chance of getting your TRV.

Thank you very much bro. I submitted all documents in my previous app except leave letter and my personal statement of account. But now I am getting a resignation approval letter from my employer and also get my fixed deposit account statement that states 2million as well. But please sir how do you think one can convince Vo that diploma is what one is going for when one have something that is higher than that diploma and also could stand a chance of going for a PGD or advance diploma. I'm sorry I may sound so naive but I love to learn and u sound so clever enough to enlighten me. If you don't mind I can send u a private message.

Truth be told it would be difficult to convince the vo sha, except they apply at very different times, even 10m won't be enough for both of dem to show and it seems they're not going to be together, diff provinces I think, and they're expected not to really work and all. Its better the husband goes first and invites the wife, or the wife applies immediately after the husband has gotten his trv. My opinion tho smiley

we contacted a canadian lawyer who made d ff comments:- 1. He said applying to study differently is not illegal and chances of approval are the same because each application will be reviewed based on evidences of fund. 2. We can apply differently but ensure we have cosponsors, as officers always prefer a cosponsor incase of anything happens, dere will be someone to fall back on. 3. Though, expensive its safer to explore as both will have study permits,can renew, and can also apply for work permit based on postgraduate workpermit and open work permit from d spouse. 4. Opportunity for PR is broadened and enough time to work and save 5.husband can look for a school in d wife's province so accomodation exps is reduced. However, if a spouse applies for studypermit with accompanying dependant, then there must not be a cosponsor, meaning the couple must have sufficient funds to cater for both educational and living exps, and d accompanying spouse must be flambouyant enough to show that the exps will not be more than 40% of his or her entire assets both liquid and nonliquid. Applying alone and inviting spouse is very risky and becoming tighter especially for nigerians. He concluded by saying looking at the financial status of the two of us, we should apply as a student with accompanying spouse, and all the cosponsors if any should transfer funds into our accounts, we shudnt have a cosponsor. But we shud av in mind that the accompanying spouse will nt be able to study except he travels to losangeles or nigeria to apply. But with PGD, the wife can continue to masters level, while hubby keeps working and after masters level she can get 5years workpermit and then relocate as a family to a Province with easy PR.

I agree. I know some pple who're just in undergrad and they're in their early 30s, Nigerians. I think they're international students. I was a Nursing student before I changed majors and there were 30, 40, 50-yr olds in my class. Granted, we weren't international students but my point is Canada isn't a country that discriminates based on age, based on anything, really, especially when it comes to education. I hope no one will get discouraged because of their age. If you're an international student, as long as your application is legit and completed and you meet the school's requirements, you've a chance.
