Hello guys. please whats the maximum time difference btw the date of your soa and the date of visa application.. as i printed my soa last week, monday 10th. hoping to go to the embassy by wednesday. i have been having few delays. and still haven't gone. and as it is i might be going this friday. would i need to print my soa again? i have just paid tuition fees actually and waiting for the receipt that is why i might be waiting till friday. if i am to print another soa, must i print days up till the date before i printed or could i leave a few days out?

olawale005:



can you pls put me through the bank you use to make your school fee payment, i was in access bank and i was told central cancel fund transfer... any one who made payment recently should pls give me a light on how to go about it

Taike:

Lol. Was there too.

Inkblood:


the cost isn't the problem. its just that my funds would be quite depleted after this sch fees payment. i am paying about 1.3m depending on the exchange rate. which would have made my soa look better. although i have already explained in the existing sop that i made the part tuition payments from the account though

TheBae:
It's okay to use the SOA like that but isn't it better to print a new one that will show that your school fees was from that same account. It won't really cost you anything

hayqinsbFX:
what program

JCChuks:
Please can any current graduate student outline or share a link(if it already exists) of what I need to take along to Canada this September.

JCChuks:
To any UOttawa/Other canadian varsity/college scholar in the building, clarifications needed - I haven't gotten accommodation though I have applied to the school. I would be leaving for Canada at the end of the month. QUESTION: What make shift accommodation can someone get as soon as you get to Canada or when do you hunt for the accommodation in Ottawa. [Just in case the school doesn't reply before I leave for canada]

NigerianNewbie:


You can look at the University's Short Term Accommodation. However, I think these won't be available after September 1, since you mentioned you will leave at the end of the month.

You could also search for a hotel. But it is possible to get a place after arriving in September. The prices might be on the high-side; however, you might get lucky.

Speaking of accommodation however, I have a room in a 3 bedroom apartment close to the University, if you're interested. You can send a mail if you want. Cheers.

Please, the following are based on personal opinion (mostly for those yet to submit their apps.) & shouldn't be misconstrued in any way.

1. All documents & information provided on the documents one intends to submit should be purposeful, clear & possibly self explanatory. That person X submitted document A doesn't mean person Y should/has to. If it's not a required document (from personal checklist) & it doesn't relay much info that will support your application and/or propel the VO to approve your application, do not include it.
It's better not to include some not-really-necessary document than to include one & give an incoherent explanation for it and/or an avenue to speculate (incorrectly).

2. LOE is optional & people have gotten TRV without one but if for any reason, whatsoever, an applicant feels the need to explain any information that will further simplify his/her application, please he/she should include one. For instance, address A might appear on an applicant's form & address B might appear on same applicant's acceptance letter. In as much as most people will consider such inconsistency insignificant, some others (maybe the VO included) might not. Such disparities may provide an avenue for doubt which could lead to a more thorough assessment, unravelling further discrepancies.
Explaining even the slightest differences or inconsistencies will only give more credence to an application.
Moreover, I think the VO will appreciate the effort(s) the individual made to simplify his/her task. Nobody smiles to work everyday hoping to be hit by an unanticipated complicated issue.

3. Be more open and honest than he/she (the VO) would expect you to be.

4. Finally, all documents should collectively present you (the applicant) as an attentive, distinguished, hard working and honest individual.
Make your application yours & not a "sub-application" of some other individual.

To all expectants, stay hopeful. To everyone who has contributed and/or still contributing to the progress of the thread, keep up the good work & remain blessed.

Cheers!

vinegar:
How do I tackle these reasons for denial:
Family ties in canada and country of residence
Purpose of visit
Personal asset and financial status.....

kennykentipsy:


today?

TempusQ:
Your strategy is good and don't forget to include the Swift/Telex Copy of the transferred fund,
which should bear the name of the said sponsor.
Hope seeing you when I visit US [s](already thinking of visiting US as a TRV hopeful)[/s] lol...
Good Luck

@Urchmandon, this was such a great post. Thank you.

@Thomby2k12, could you please edit your previous post? The thread would be less lengthy if you deleted most of the re-quoted @Urchmandon post . Also, this ChriGo post might help answer a portion of your question. I believe several people in other prior pages of this thread have fully answered your question though.

davidgreener:
Can someone please answer the question I asked earlier, thanks and sorry for disturbing oo.. I just got to know about this thread early hours of today. I was denied visa early this year, reasons thicked: (1)family ties here and in canada. (2) assets and financial smtn..(Lol)! Although i didn't pay my fees..
