Your kids are far too young to be left behind. It's difficult to see why you should be given a visa considering the fact that you are not traveling with them

Congratulations ma. Without mincing words, this your profile is very strong. Finance, travel history, employment prospect, home tie, purpose of visit and everything checked to the T.

Even your village people can't stop this profile from getting approved.

Go and prosper

Submitted on Thursday , 26th at VFS, (Paper Route), linked it online 2 days after. Been checking my CIC page since then for an update. Today, I got a mail from them. I took my time to check. Was thinking it is about passing my medical. Lo and behold, it was APPROVED!

I want to say a special thank you to Maziude. He was always there to answer my questions and concerns from the beginning of my application. I took his advise of going for a PhD instead of a pgd. I am glad it paid off in the end.

Thanks to Jerry for reviewing my SOP. I appreciate.
Now, to mothers who want to go with your little children, please do apply with them. Just ensure you have enough money to prove you can take care of them financially and otherwise. You will be fine.

I pray to as many that desire to go study and represent Nigeria well , TRV will fall on YOU ALL. @Mamacaja , come here o, your sister has been given a TRV!
I'm returning to Naija as Doctor (Mrs) . A specialist and authority in Education by the special grace of God.

Finally, commit everything to God. I took a step of faith, 2 days before I submitted, I went to church with all my documents. I knelt at the church altar and handed everything to God in faith. I have done mine as a human. God , please have the final say. He sure had a final say!

@maziude my brother, your Ijebu garri and Bendel garri are coming. Your sister will supply you more than enough Bro. See you soon in Cannyland.

THank you. I want to pay my complete tuition fee and reapply Then family ties i want to attached my sibings and parents birth certifcates, family pictures and family landed property .i will tackle purpose of visit in my sop. i sont know if it will fly

Rocorleone:
Then you should get a reason for the refusal. Tackle it! I think they are in a way trying to be strict.
But there's nothing Complete documents and prayer can't do!
Goodluck

jnyuwa02:


Hahaha, very funny! The henchmen are coming! But in all seriousness there is a serious ring of truth to your statement. The higher you are on the totem pole of academic qualification, the better you would be able to scale the "purpose of visit" obtascle course. That can translate to faster processing times. But two weeks is supersonic speed in a TRV processing world. It seemed only like yesterday we were working through her SOP and application, doing the normal back and forth.

Pls can help me review my sop and application

Good evening,

please I am looking at doing my masters in Canad "Masters of public administration in university of Saskatchewan", but I need help on how to go about the whole application process cause I don't want to use any agent and i want to start the process this year so so as to speed up the process come next year. Thank you

Hi jnyuwa02,

Actually this is my first post on this forum. As a matter of fact, i had to sign up so i can address you and your related post. Having followed this thread silently for over a year now, i must say it is one of the most insightful and informative so far.
I used most information gotten from here to process my study permit application which was approved on the first attempt. I have learnt from past elders in this house and i'm still learning from the current knowledgeable people here too because i also want to guide my siblings to pursue their study here in Canada.

Now to the issue, i have watched and read most of your comments filled with so much ambuiguity, aggressiveness, pride and very unwelcoming attitude towards everybody that have a contrary view and opinion about anything your post here. One thing you must learn to understand is that this is a forum and in as much as you 'think' you are knowledgeable or intelligent on a wide variety of issues, the bulk doesn't and won't stop at your table. Reading most of your post, i notice you only want anything you suggest or say to either stand out or be acceptable as the right thing probably because you use grammars or your well carved words project sense in the things you post.

You must learn to be humble, interact with people that have little or similar or more knowledge or idea than you. You flip a lot once someone challenges your post and this is simply because you see a contrary opinion in a competitive manner rather than in an interactive way. Nobody here is a VO or an immigration expert, if all you claim you know about laws, immigration and all were really what they are, you wouldn't be here in the first place. You would use those knowledge to build an independent empire for yourself in one way or the other and not here arguing and arguing. Real intelligent people don't argue a lot, the pick things from people's opinion and make the most of them either by studying more or using a better strategy.

I have followed @Austinpee4 very well all through the period i was preparing for my application and one thing i can tell about him is facts! He just has a way to give you facts than mere sentiments or assumed knowledge. Even in this still, he will advise that people go on the appropraite website to cross-check information put across. Even with the event of today, he still didn't disappoint. He attached a screen shot of the facts and even part of the screen shot was the same thing you started dragging. Do you even get tired

While filling my form, i filled funds for one year and the statements of accounts showed funds for one year. Deep into the processing of my application, CIC requested that i pay my tuition and show evidence of living expenses for a year because of the forex control policies at the time and not for two years like you have been struggling to prove today. I have lots of friends here in Canada who all filled funds for a year. Some didn't even have the funds but were able to show this using their sponsors. The required funds is for a year! If any applicant choose to show an exceeding amount to cover for the entire program, good! But it doesn't change the provisions of the ACT of CIC that requires funds for a year. They can't give conflicting statements either on their forms or the website as you noted.

Only in a case of a self sponsored applicant that this may apply if he or she does not have any source or sources of generating further income while studying in Canada. If your look carefully at the screenshot, the later part of it mention that the student must also show that there will be a possibility of generating funds for subsequent years. Then what are you even saying? If an applicant has a sponsor that is working and can earn enough to support the sponsored, i don't see how this would mean showing the entire funds. Why then is there a need for a sponsor when you have shown funds for your entire program.

Dude, you don't have to be combative to understand things neither do you need to lie to yourself when you do not have information about something. Own up to it, learn and improve on how you relate with people. This is one sure avenue for you to improve on yourself and as far as i'm concerned, your attitude towards your post are more important than what you are even writing sef. It's either you are reminding us on how long you have lived in the US or how you understand the Canadian system and laws but then it is not reflective in your post. I have a lot of respect for you but most times, i can't seem to understand why it is difficult for you to relate with people that have better understanding than yourself in an issue. Nobody knows it all. You have learnt a lot here since you joined and shows you have made progress in your knowledge.

Accomodate people's opinion and ideas, learn how to respond with some sense of agreement or disagreement. Keep your personal experience to yourself, majority of us are not interested. If you have a suggestion to make, give an accurate one and allow people make their decision. Most importantly, avoid resentful comments, it's just appalling each time you do. You are smart, yes. Allow this also to show in how you relate in the forum. It is a forum afteral and not a house of competition.

Have a good day sir.

A round off applause for this fellow. Respect!!!

prof1999:
ehm. our past elders made this visa approval very hard some provided fake document, some got the study permit but when they got there they changed and they started working and more other atrocities . and we (innocent)are now paying for it.thats is the more reason nigeria out of the countries eligible to immigrate to canada, has the highest processing time 22 weeks. they take enough time to check submitted documents . >and to those who got their study permit approved bravo ! is not easy

Nobody made anything hard. If you ask me, the present situation if things in Nigeria is to be blamed; not whoever is in Canada. The whole world knows we're having it rough in Nigeria now so it's easy to think that you may have other motives besides actually wanting to go to school. And people keep saying this but put it in mind that you don't have statistics of people who came to Canada and those who went to school or not. When it comes to such things I don't think Nigerians are even top offenders compared to Indians and others. Them de hail Nigerians for Canada say them too like school and you feel say na we dodge school pass.

Congratulations, I'm happy someone in Education has finally gotten TRV i pray more should be given TRV. #weekofsurprise

Anyone in any field can get a TRV. All depends on the picture of the vision you paint to the VO. Nogen painted a wonderful picture of a differential theory of learning, a novel idea in educating children taking into account their learning ability and styles. She felt in Nigeria the teaching mode is all about promoting the bright ones and repeating the dull ones. She postulated that the solution had to take into consideration their learning styles, that both the very bright ones and dull ones have the same problem. They both occupy a position in the outlier and are usually misfits due to pressure society puts on them. The differential theory takes this into consideration and tailors the education of a child from the perspective of their ability and styles of learning and encouraging them based on these peculiarities. She felt the solution is not simply telling teachers to teach more and passing the bright ones and repeating the dull ones as is the common solution in Nigeria. Nogen's endeavour to seek to do PHD in Nigerian universities in this area met head storm because this theory is alien to the Nigerian system. But Canada is doing cutting edge research in the area. She wants to study, get her doctorate and come back to Nigeria and teach the theory and train many educators to do the same. The affordability and safety for her family, made Canada among many countries she looked into, an easy choice. You see, when a VO begins to read something like this, it's sweet music to their ears. They feel the compulsion and want to join in the rhythm of the dance. They approve you with immediate alacrity because you are highly favored of God in the first place.

You are right! As a graduate student, you must be part of solution providers. Look at the needs in the society and search for a solution to those needs using your area of study. Would you get that in Nigeria? If no, then look for countries that can help you specialize in your area. My area is a new one in Nigeria and very few international private schools practise that and those in public school do not even know it exists. There are lots of new pedagogical methodologies out there in the developed countries that have been tested and proven effective and efficient for teaching and learning. Research them and see how you can introduce them to our Educational system.

Without quality education, Nigeria as a nation has a long way to go, until we began to teach and learn right,we would struggle economically , politically, socially, etc. We must get it right in our educational system. So, those in Education can get their TRV.

Attaching the stated documents is fine.
But be sure your previous work experience coincides with your prospective study. This also is well important and if it does go for a Master program instead of PGD.
I hope this helps.

Hello guys,

I wish to share my joy with all of you on this thread, because just like you i was planning on going to Canada on student visa come January. I applied for masters to several schools but none gave me admission. As at May this year i started applying to colleges in Ontario and got admission. I have read through Canada Student Visa Threads after seeing some seniors here discuss how they got PR via Express Entry. I made up my mind to dump applying for student VISA and went for PR because of the rate of rejection for Student Visa. @Osemigho can bear me witness. His post also inspired me he has his PR now as well. In just a month i have gotten my PPR while my cousin who submitted student Visa even before i created my express entry profile is yet to get his visa.

My advise is that, if you have the work experience go for Express Entry. Use the big school fees money as POF. When you get your PR you can easily get admission into your school of choice even at a cheaper rate.

Below is my timeline:

PPR: 11 NOV

Thanks everyone for all the contribution. Its still like a dream... I never thought i would get PPR now.

Above all... Pray Pray Pray

God is the greatest.

Also, I would like to add that we take our time to prepare our application. Don't rush. I joined this forum last year. I read the Part 1, jotted down some important notes. Been following the discussions here while I still took note of key things.
Things you must do!
1. Don't limit yourself. Apply in more than one school.

I applied in 3 schools : University of Manitoba, University of Sherbrooke and Laval University. I wasn't given admission in Manitoba. In University of Sherbrooke, I applied for 4 programmes. I got admission for 3 out of the 4. For Laval University, I declined their admission .

2. Make sure you have the funds or get a scholarship (Funding from the school)
If you have funding, good. If it is not so much, ensure you have some personal funds to back up your application. If you don't have funding from the school, please take out time to save up enough money..even if you get co-sponsor, it will help your application.

3. Ask questions on gray areas.

Don't be shy to ask relevant questions. Don't be too shy to ask those gurus here for help. I reached out to 3 people here : Austinpee (He never replied my messages and I understood he is a busy person), Maziude (He responded immediately and has guided me thus far), Jynuwa (he also responded immediately and guided me on my SOP. He actually revamped it. He also guided me where my brother Maziude had no idea about the process, Jynuwa readily assisted.) I did a lot of back and forth with Maziude and Jynuwa to ensure I didn't make any mistake on my application before submitting.

4. Read current and past posts on this forum and CIC website

Please take out time to read , read and read. When you read, you won't even ask a lot of questions and you would get it right in your first application . My Canadian study permit was my first. Never applied before. But it took me more than a year to apply. Don't be in a hurry please.
5. Be honest in your application.
Be truthful. Some advised me here not to present my children to the Embassy since they don't need a visa to enter Canada. I vehemently opposed that. How can I use my 2 years olds as home ties only to appear at the Point of Entry with them. I could be turned back to Naija. That's deceit! Also, avoid presenting fake documents. They will find out. If you have been denied visas in the past. Say the truth, it won't stop them from giving you a TRV if you deserve one.

6. Have faith in God. Trust God to do His part.

If it is His will, you would go to Canada to study, He will help you provide all that you need to make your application a success. I took a leap of faith a lot . I was in the US in October, I shopped for our winter jackets for myself and the children. I said we need a pair for the flight in December to Canada. I resigned my job . Would stopped working in December. Told them, I would be leaving in December for my PhD. When Jynuwa advised me to apply for a study permit for US as a 2nd option. I was very emphatic with my NO! I told him point blank that I am going to Quebec, Canada for studies not the US. Started preparing my home for the journey long before I even applied. Have faith your application will be successful .

jnyuwa02:


Most countries travel advisories recommend passport be valid at least 6 months into the future, effective date you travel. You should be fine given what you stated. You can apply for renewal at the Nigerian embassy in Ottawa when your passport expires. Use to be that you could mail your passport in, but Nigerian embassy has now instituted that applicant be physically present at the embassy. If you have not travelled before outside the country and spent more than six months, indicate no. I believe question 8 is what you are asking when you refer to "travel history"? Best of luck!

Ps: a quick googling shows that Canada and Mexico are the only two countries that do not enforce the six months rule, meaning you can travel to Canada even if your passport is less than six months to expiry.

I am so grateful for this information, it has sure given me a great rest than to go renew on the ground of lost passport. Thank you sir.

Oben209:



Please how long did your eligibility review take

My eligibility didn't change I guess they did it along with BG check so when they decided they wrote that I am not eligible straight.

mcobex:
I am still in Nigeria, but my friend that graduated from MUN said the school is isn't bad at all. As for 2:2 it is hard but not impossible. The school pay more attention to you final 2-3 semesters, so if you performed well there you stand a better chance. Again cases defer, just make sure you get the attention of a supervisor via your statement of purpose and you will good to go. Best of luck

Thanks mate

Aren't you applying for your study visa this time?

My advise is that, if you have the work experience go for Express Entry. Use the big school fees money as POF. When you get your PR you can easily get admission into your school of choice even at a cheaper rate.

Below is my timeline:

Anyone in any field can get a TRV. All depends on the picture of the vision you paint to the VO. Nogen painted a wonderful picture of a differential theory of learning, a novel idea in educating children taking into account their learning ability and styles. She felt in Nigeria the teaching mode is all about promoting the bright ones and repeating the dull ones. She postulated that the solution had to take into consideration their learning styles, that both the very bright ones and dull ones have the same problem. They both occupy a position in the outlier and are usually misfits due to pressure society puts on them. The differential theory takes this into consideration and tailors the education of a child from the perspective of their ability and styles of learning and encouraging them based on these peculiarities. She felt the solution is not simply telling teachers to teach more and passing the bright ones and repeating the dull ones as is the common solution in Nigeria. Nogen's endeavour to seek to do PHD in Nigerian universities in this area met head storm because this theory is alien to the Nigerian system. But Canada is doing cutting edge research in the area. She wants to study, get her doctorate and come back to Nigeria and teach the theory and train many educators to do the same. The affordability and safety for her family, made Canada among many countries she looked into, an easy choice. You see, when a VO begins to read something like this, it's sweet music to their ears. They feel the compulsion and want to join in the rhythm of the dance. They approve you with immediate alacrity because you are highly favored of God in the first place.

unique idea, the sop was direct and focus.

Wow this is serious oo I am about to apply for the same course and I plan to go in spring even tho am not married and still in my 20's what were the reasons for your refusals

Purpose of visit and travel history

justwise:


Your kids are far too young to be left behind. It's difficult to see why you should be given a visa considering the fact that you are not traveling with them

I want to be able to concentrate fully on my studies hence my reason for leaving them behind. I'm also using a sponsor and its not logical having someone sponsor my kids and I.
What do u advise?
