MrMarc:


1. Paid Job
where you can be given an introduction letter and or study leave (preferably with pay if possible)

2. Family
Thats if one is married.

3. Registered business with verifiable documents

4. Landed Properties in your name (with evidence)

5. Bond letter
This is usually from your work place after you have gotten your leave with pay which states that you are mandated to return and resume work (usually the duration of the time of your study).

This and the finance section of your (all) study visa application are the most important.

You do not have to be married before your family can serve as hometies. Your parents and even siblings can serve as hometies.
Also, the landed properties do not have to be in your name. Your parents landed documents can serve as hometies especially if you are not self sponsored and you are still in your twenties.

I submitted my application for student visa 9th of may 2017 ,and I received a message yesterday which says.
Dear applicant
I have reviewed your application and document which you submitted in its support. I have a concern that you have not fufilled the requirement put upon you by section 16(1) of the immigration and refugee protection act.
On the current application form,you indicate that you have never been refused any kind of visa,admission, or been ordered to leave Canada or any other country.According to information in our records,you were refused a visa to the united state in 2015.
I would like to give you an opportunity to respond to this information, I will afford you 15days from the date of this letter to make any representation in this regard. Please use the address noted on this letter for all correspondence and clearly indicate your file number.if you do not respond to this request within the time outlined above ,your application will be addressed based on the information available,which will likely result in a refusal.
My nairalanders honestly I was refused USA visa in 2015 ,but it seems I mistakenly tick no when filling the form.
Pls what do you guys think of my chance of getting this visa based on this message.am so scared.pls I need ur opinion.

I think you should take your mind off getting the visa and focus on not getting a 2 or even 5 years ban.
Just reply them and explain to them logically how you made the mistake.

Your family/ siblings serve as ties to Nigeria. It's not easy for some people to live apart or far away from their family. I saw a GCMS note where the VO was asking where the siblings reside. I deduced that the VO was trying to use the siblings place of residence to determine if the principal applicant will migrate or return home.

So if your siblings are all here, add their drivers license and also state in your SOP that they are all in Nigeria.

MrMarc:


Lolz..

Big No.

How does your siblings being in Nigeria compel you to return after your studies? Na only you get siblings ni?

RAY12345:



@No2, don't u thing one's parents/siblings can serve has a hometie for someone that is not married?

Rgds

I used my parents as home tie by explaining that they are aging so I must return to care for them.

Hello. Please I need advice. My fiance wants to go for PhD in chemistry in Canada at Western Ontario University. He has a potential supervisor who has asked him to go ahead and apply against fall of 2018, the department says they give 25k CAD to each international student as funding per year minus the ones from his supervisor or the ones he can apply for himself. He and i are to legally Wed next month September 2017. Now my question is this, can I apply for visa along with him? And do we need to provide sponsor? Keeping in mind that I have been refused visa twice for pgd in Canada twice last year.

Don't even give it a second thought

Don't apply with your husband
As I can see, your Husband stands a greater chance of being approved.
Good home tie (you ), PhD and availability of funding.

It's just a matter of time he will invite you after few months but make sure he declares that he is married in his application form. It is very important.

karoonaoc:
Approval!!!
I just want to thank God because of the miracles he has done and he's doing for me

I'm following two forums this and one on canadavisa I've been waiting for for this for two years not because of financial problems or denial but because of my passport.
I did a change of name (addition to my surname and shortened my middle name)if any one has done this you'd know the problem

So just one time no denial nor delay I want to give glory to God

I did biometrics on 26th of may
Called for medicals on 17th of july
Went for medicals on 18th
Approval yesterday 28th of July

Not knowing I had gotten an approval yesterday at the salon I didn't read the message well (I got it from my visa agent) I was still worrying a little yesterday night cuz I really want this visa to be approved so I can get this over wiTh

It's only God that made this possible only God and if you don't believe have faith and pray during though times mehn nothing will work out
Glory to God almighty

Congratulations! 8weeks/ God speed. I tap into this approval

Please kindly adjust the part you said he should declare his married while the lady said the applicant is her fiance not husband. Except they are in a common law relationship please don't declare married oooo. If they will get married before he applies then their marriage cert will be included and after the applicant approval the wife can join him tru SOWP. My tot

Is any body here schooling or applied to university of Alberta?

Somebody please help!

My school does not give Transcript by hand but prefers to send directly to foreign school.
And am applying to Centennial College. The College said that I should send the scanned copy of my Transcript and other documents in one PDF file​ to them.

Pls how do I get my Transcript since my school in Nigeria don't give it by hand?

I appreciate your input. But is there really no chance of us getting approved at the same time. What else can we use as home ties. And how much would we both need to declare

I agree with you completely, l thought she made mentioned of it that they will wed soon.


On the other hand if the application is going to be submitted before the actual wedding I suggest they do a solo wedding registry or something to get a marriage certificate before the main wedding.

Please and please don't declare married without a legal marriage certificate ooo.

I am saying all these because a friend of mine finds it difficult to bring his wife after almost 2 years he has been there just because their wedding was after he submitted application for TRV.

Don't think she can accept to do that.

exchange rate changes everyday... I paid with dorm account so just divide your school fees by the banks USD TO CAD Rate for that day you will get your fees in dollars then you will know how to find the dollar either by form A or parallel market

when I applied to Centennial I sent my official transcript to them and they forwarded(scanned copy) everything back to me to add other documents and convert them all to one pdf.In the end, I got mi transcript. U may consider sending to the school officially, I believe they will still forward it to u cos they usually prefer everything being in one pdf.

Wow thats good. So, should I send them a mail to resend the Transcript to my mail if my school eventually sends it to them?

Send the transcript to a company where you know someone.
When it gets there, collect it and scan... Shikena!!

Apply for a student copy of your transcript, many schools give that.

If that is not possible, then apply for an official copy using Nigeria address, note that this could only be possible if you have a friend or relative who is a Lecturer in a University or polytechnic,Just use his departmental address and pay for the courier delivery fee. You will get it in few days. It's always good to have the electronic of your transcript with u at any time.

Some schools give their students a copy(student copy) of their transcripts, another option is if you have someone that owns a company or works in an organization and holds a reputable position there you can apply for local transcript and have it sent to the person's company after which you can go and collect it from him/her. Though that won't stop you from still reapplying for another (official) transcript when you must have been given conditional admission (pending when the official transcript gets to them )

Any hiccups where specifically?

Prisscindy:

I was going to ask if one could put photocopies of landed property documents, car documents and CAC instead of the original if I submit through paper, as they aren't mine and my sponsor might be in need of them at any time.

Just do photocopy of all the original documents

Hello boss,
Like other bosses suggested. Your "husband" should apply alone. A couple of months apart aint gonna reduce your love for each other. You will stand as a good home tie. The VOs know, he will always send for you. Please calm down.

But if you really want to go with him, well you guys have to come up with very good home times and lots of cash declaration. Is it possible for you guys to apply together? Yes. Is it possible to get approval? Yes, but the odds will be extremely high.

In a nutshell, let him apply alone.

I never marry sha, so i fit no know far... maybe the married ones that already have their trv can shed more light...

Jayne07:

Do you or your fiancee have any company or business you run here in Nigeria? Cos if you both get married and you apply together without any hometie it will be hard to convince the vo. Trust me the disadvantages of both of you applying together outweighs the advantages, don't be scared just allow him to apply alone and I am very sure his own will be approved before you know it, after that he can now apply for you. Don't allow your fear to spoil his application.

Brilliant idea guys... Thanks a lot

no it's not a typo my University sent the trascript to the address I provided to them for me to have my copy then scanned to the college....
