1. If you feel it will help your application by elaborating on some key aspect of your application, your purpose of study, discrepancies in any part of your application or to communicate to the officer your overall plans with your program upon completion, then you should send it to them through their email (accra.immigration@international.gc.ca).

Otherwise, if your application is straight forward enough, you can leave it out. It is not a compulsory document.

2. I don't think there is one but i'll suggest in so doing, you give good reasons for changing your initial use of a representative. If you don't have any, proceed with the form. It is more like a consent form regarding somebody helping with your application, issuing and getting information on your behave during your application process as well as authorizing the embassy to communicate with the individual(s) other than yourself. Either ways, i don't think it is harmful to your application. Just a measure to control release of information especially confidential or personal.

there is nothing like straight forward anymore. Nigerian applicants please always summit your sop/loe

God bless u bro! Appreciate gaaan

Hi Sir.
Good to hear you have your documents in place and ready to submit your application soonest.

As to arranging your documents, I think VFS WORKER will be the one to arrange your documents and make sure everything is in place. So don't worry about that since you're going for paper route.

You're expected to submit Originals of Bank Statement, your original INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT and photocopies of documents because it won't be returned back to you after your application must have been processed. Your Passport is the only document that will be returned to you.

In regards to payment info... You're expected to make your payment at the cashier at VFS office. You should go with at least 56k...

Once you have your documents in place. walk directly to the VFS and submit your application and take your biometrics as well.

If you have your SOP, you can PM some experienced Gurus here to help you review them before submission to avoid errors and story that touches.

This is my input. Gurus can give answers to this, if there was anything i omitted.

cheers!

Thanks.... Thanks bro

kenezara:
1.There is a sequence to arrange your document ,GOT MINE WHEN I WENT TO VSF ABUJA.
2.You have to pay there and do your biometerics there
3.you have to submit only photocopies but letters direct to canadian embassy should be original

I posted here some weeks back about my refusal... This afternoon I got a mail requesting for additional details or documents n to check my online application for the update... I checked n there was nothing.. That got me thinking.. Maybe my application was originally with a VO who just started treating.... While I had already been refused by another VO.... My point is this... If we submit our application, let's try n wait n let it run its course... I was among those that sent a reminder mail notifying them that school starts by early September... Maybe my application was sent to a VO to treat going by my mail n who maybe was refusing on any frivolous excuse.... Maybe maybe not.... But only God knows.... So submit n take a chill. Stay blessed

Did you get this update after ordering for your gcms note ?

God bless u bro! Appreciate gaaan

Please go with 58k or so ooo!! Because if they find out you are missing info, they might make you fill out an additional paper. I think that paper costs N1.8k.

Every application is unique in it's own way and tell it's own story irrespective of whether there is an SOP or not. Some applicants tell their story from their achievements and how progressive their academic inclination appears. SOP like i always say can help your application and at the same time mar it. Depending on what an applicant is trying to convey, it may or may not be necessary.
Two persons recently got their application approved without one. Mine too was approved without one. So it all depends on what you want the VO to know about your application/intention.

That someone included SOP to his/her application shouldn't automatically translate to it being compulsory. The VO are already trained to know what would make sense and what wouldn't. However, i still recommend it especially when there are discrepancies or when you need to share your passion around your proposed program or need to clarify concerns of a previous refusal. It whatsoever case, know why you are including it.

Hello sir, just to help out, you need to calculate your tuition+maintenance+accommodation fees.
you did not state the duration of your intended program or what type of program..
is it a pgd or masters or phd?
is it 1/2/4 years program?

for dependents, spouse is calculated at min. $4k CAD, children $3k CAD, while accommodation $10k CAD annually.
so use these metrics, check www.xe.com /www.abokifx.com for current exchange rate/ black market rate (last time I checked, the black market rate was N291 to $1 CAD..but that was 2 months ago..unsure of the current rate.)

Input the required figures into a table form and equate if the funds you have are over or equal to the funds required.

But the main issue you should be worried about is if your intended program will pass the VOs eligibility test...

Hope this helps.

Hello Everyone

I've got no idea sir. I described the office base on my personal knowledge of the place and in case there's proximity from ur place. Legal fees are not fixed and are always negotiable. Check in if convinient and close to u.

Wow! Thanks real good for throwing light on this. God bless you Boss. Amen!
It will end in praise.

Bro thanks a lot for your detailed and clear answer. My intended course of study is an MSc and for 2years. With the details above does it mean the total balance I should have must cover the entire two years (tuition + cost of living for 1adult and child) as stipulated by cic? Or at least 1yr?

We are still waiting ,submited may17 2017,no update ,i have deferred admission to winter .hopeam not alone?

Hello sir/ma.
Pls is there any recent study permits applicant BTW two to 3 months ago that was granted.. Just to serve as motivation for me and others. Because have applied twice BTW five months ago and the application wasn't granted. Based on the survey that I did, I haven't seen any testimony and most of the agent that I met, have saying it was a deliberate attempt by the Canadian immigration, that was why they've been given unnecessary reasons for refusing study permits application.
Pls I will be glad to see your response

Austinpee4:
@Aallizzwellwole,

This is not what i mean. This is the letter that was sent to you when your application was refused. The GCMS note is different from this. It is a report on why your application was refused usually summarized by the officer who reviewed your application. It is also not sent to the applicant at a time of refusal. Thankfully, applicant still have access to this report through the freedom of information act. You only need to order for it, check the first page of this page like i mentioned and you will find the link.

boss Good morning, please i sent you my Sop for review, thanks and Godbless.

If you were the only applicant....you are good to go, but with your 2 extra persons, im afraid its simply not enough

I applied for study visa since march 16th and I'm yet to hear back from CIC as regards my application. I submitted through paper route. Pls I'd like to link my application online, how can I go about it ?
Thanks.

jnyuwa02:


Your questions are kind of vague. The supervisors might be trying to tell you that if you have not obtained a masters degree from North America, you cannot be admitted to do PHD. That you have to do a masters first with them before proceeding to a PHD. Personally I never heard of that. Could be course specific. I know of some schools wanting students who studied outside North America to take extra tests. But not totally barricaded from applying like these supervisors would seem to be telling you.

Thanks for your response boss.

I am not sure if they actually barricaded it... They were probably telling me what to expect. But then, I am looking at other schools, which is why I haven't started my application.

guzenaira:


Sir/Ma,

Sincerely I understand what you are saying but I don't understand the kind of suggestions you want. Pls as for me, I don't get it properly. 'Maybe' another moniker could possibly understand properly.

But with the kind of view I see it which somehow looks incomplete to me, I think you applied to two schools. Why not try elsewhere for admission.

My thoughts!!

Thanks for the head-up. I am checking out other schools. Hoping the PSs respond to my mails.

house, pls with the necessary documents, is this enough to tackle insufficient funds?

I have been awarded a scholarship that covers my tuition. My paternal uncle is my sponsor who runs a fish meal manufacturing company. he has sent 3 million into my account. my parents are both civil servants. but my mum is supporting with a gratuity worth 10mil. my dad is backing me up with landed properties

Hello house, I am hoping to submit my application next week. I would like to include birth certificates of my siblings but they do not have. Can I include photocopies of the bio data page of their int'l passport instead ? Please gurus, I need answers.

GUYS pls ehn, my employment letter dates back to 2012 as evidence of employment and i read somewhere i need one dat is current like 3 months back. Since i want to use a paper route, do i need to write title on top of some doc e.g. there was an email from the school that i can pay my deposit balance beyond the deadline stated on the offer letter (which is in two weeks time and i intent applying next week). As in, the school stated on the offer letter that 13th Oct, is the fees deposit deadline but sent an email that i can pay by JAN as deadline without any penalty. so can i write title for such like proof of extension of fees deposit deadline
