Good day house! Compliments to everyone here. Can anyone please assist me as I am currently confused. I am about applying for a student visa and the thing is i would want to go with my family (wife and 2 year old). I heard applying together with my family might jeopardize my chances and I should apply alone first and then for them. My confusion is, after getting mine, what kind of Visa would be granted for my family? I would not want visiting visa for them because I want them with me all through my study period. Most people I spoke to said they would qualify for visiting and they need to return after a short time. Can someone help explain this visa ish for family not jeopardizing my chance and that of my family.

Your best option if you qualify is express entry. Read on it.

Happy New year house. Does anybody here currently resides in Victoria BC or have reliable contacts there? I am trying to arrange accommodation without making any payment until Study permit is approved.

Thanks

Hello House,

Please I am new here but have gone through previous parts and posts. However I need help withmmy next line of action. I have a
BSc in geophysics graduated 2011 then went for MBA oil and gas management and finished 2013. I really want to do something relevant to my first degree so I want to go for masters in geophysics or oil and gas engineering this Fall 2018.

I have checked MUN, contacted them and they said to get a supervisor with research topics first...Its been a long time since my bsc so very very rusty..

Please how do I make sure I secure a supervisor and gain admission? Which schools are not too competitive for Msc in geophysics/engineering? Thanks

Your profile is good for express entry. Except you truly desire study, I would advise you immigrate with express entry instead.

Hi guys, good job going on here.

Please your advice is needed.
I intend to take up a masters program in Computer science. My first degree was computer science too and i have a 2.1, i finished school since 2009 and been working as a customer care exeutive with one of the telecomms company for about 4 years.
My Brother and mother both ready to sponsor, coupled with my little savings of about 2m.
Now my question is this,
1-With a 2.1 qualification, can i seek for admission in a college for PGD, will it not reduce my chances in getting the student visa.

2--The time frame of finishing school and wanting to further now is about 7 years, will that not reduce my chances?
3-- What can i do differently to have high chances of getting admission in selected schools, about 3 of them.

I am very optimistic but im just trying to get more light on this.

Don't over stress your life, join express entry.

Liquid2Metal:
Please I'm sorry for derailing thread, not intentional though. I need urgent advice to enable me take a decision. Below is my question.



Please I need urgent advice on the subject above. I just received an email from Diamond bank asking me to report to their head quarter in Abuja for a 3weeks graduate trainee program prior to posting. From what i heard, their probation period last for six weeks, of which you be paid 80k and after you have been confirmed, you will received 240k as monthly salary.

Normally, I ought to be excited considering the fact that I have followed up with this job for the past two years and it has finally arrived and also my present job pays a little less than 100k monthly, which is enough incentive for me accept the offer but I'm not.

Why? I have plans of travelling to Canada with my wife and daughter hopefully by September, for a masters degree program with the aim of settling their afterwards. By God's grace we have been able to save some money for the trip and my tuition fees, and my wife is very passionate about leaving this country. She fears if I take up the banking job, I'll not have enough time to follow up with the travel arrangements and also we might tamper with our savings, in the course of relocation since we stay in Port Harcourt for which I agree.

Please guys what do you think, is 240k a month salary worth jeopardizing my travel plans? I have till tomorrow to reply the bank.

Note: I haven't secured admission yet.

1. Accept job offer like others have said.

2. Join express entry. With it, your wife and children can enter and stay while you return to Nigeria after soft landing.

3. Dreams are different but I can tell you that managers in banks and other top Nigerian organizations like PWC and KPMG are immigrating to Canada.

It is a matter of choice but be wise about yours.

Happy new year everyone. My advise to all admission seekers and potential student visa applicant is to read on Canada express entry if you are sure that you would like to stay in Canada after study.

Congrats. Pls tell us how to handled the sponsor part of your application.

blessedmumi:
Good afternoon NLers, please I need urgent advise on this particular issue. I have interest in studying in Canada but my setback is the sponsorship aspect of the application.

This Christmas, I was privileged to meet with a distant relative though we are different tribes. After much discussion, he agreed to be my sponsor alongside my husband. He is a director in a FG agency, has a huge business conglomerate and his family is based in USA. Will he be a good choice since we are different tribes? And how can I convince the VO about the authenticity of my claim?

Ps it's urgent I need to give him a feedback ASAP.

I don't understand why a relative of yours being from a different tribe is an issue....we just like to complicate matters...so what if you have a relative who's from another country nko. Also please learn to properly phrase your question "though we are (from) different tribes" leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Congrats to those who recently got their TRVs. Those who were refused, it's not a denial. Repackage and refire. All the very best to you all. For me, I would be starting classes today. Take care all!

Congrats. Pls tell us how to handled the sponsor part of your application.

I got a REsearch assistantship covering tuition and living
Pls how long did it take for one to get his passport back after submitting at visa office for trv to be issued.

My People, How Una dey.

On the 1st of January 2018, 10:55 Pm i left Lagos to Toronto via Amsterdam.....This is my story.

After getting my visa, flights plans started. i'm a frequent flyer with virgin and emirates, but those two airlines have decided to be goats and not fly to Pearson International in Toronto, so after reading comments about Ethopian, Egypt, air maroc e.t.c....i realised they were all nice airlines to fly with HOWEVER. when an issues arises, as with a number of international flights, their lack in class and professionalism shows, so i decided to use a tier 1 airline. I was left with one of Delta, Airfrance-KLM, Turkish Airlines, British Airways and Arik . After a lot of research and analysis, i decided to use Airfrance-Klm due to the fact that they had a partnership with Delta, Delta had with Virgin so it made more sense when i needed to transfer Miles and all that ....ooh and it was the cheapest too.

Jan 1 was the cheapest day in the first 2 weeks of the New Year, so i decided to go with that, since i wanted to spent the new year with my family and the flight was at night. Perfect.

I got to the Lagos airport at 7pm, after all the harassment of "do something for boys" i got to the gate safely. We boarded quite early (9pm) and 10 50 Pm the plane took off. It was a beautiful flight. No crying children, i got an extra leg-room seat, the food was yummy, the pilots landing was one of the best i had felt. Got into Amsterdam 30 Mins early and i had this long wait of 8 hours for my flight to toronto. i decided to book one that was far away, just in case my departure from lagos was delayed or whatever.

The 8 hours went by so fast from visiting the museum in the airport, watching a few planes land and take-off, watching a couple of LGBT couples and imagining what my parents would say, Getting a new hand luggage since my current ones got bad while pulling (so painful as i had to waste money on something not planned for), and talking with friends and family through whatsapp call. When it was time to board, i was "shook" KLM gave Nigerians a very new and beautiful plane with an awesome cabin crew, and this plane was so old i was surprised it could still take off. Though the staff made it worthwhile and fun to fly....and the food..oh my!....AWESOME! (If you are a food lover, Please fly Airfrance-KLM...NO JOKES) Ice cream, wafles, rice and beans with chicken, cinammon rolls.= and so much more, really great....oh if youre wondering, Yes it was economy.

Landed in toronto, the queue wasn't long. My timbalands decided the cold was too much and gave up, luckily i had a spare pair of shoes in my hand luggage (Pls try to keep a spare change of clothing and shoes in your hand luggage, in case your box is missing and other emergencies). i got to the officer. he was so nice, he saw a Manutd bracelet on my hand and we spoke for a while about Lukaku being useless LOL. he asked if i had dairy or whatever, i said No, he said good and directed me to get my study permit. That lady wasnt fun at all!...she didnt even laugh at any joke i made, i sha took my study permit, then was directed to get my SIN. The lady there was a fun, kind woman. i spent like 20 mins just talking about how lovely Nigeria was, what my Yoruba name meant, about my family, she spoke about her family too and after leaving her o whispered to myself "welcome home".

Due to the time spent already getting my luggage was a breeze, i got outside, my school driver was waiting to pick me, and off i went.

i got to the school residence, they werent expecting me to the 4th due to a mis understanding in the emails exchanged (very sad!!...Please ensure your arrival plans are water-tight!!!) had to spend over $150 for a night in a hotel close-by, Next morning took an uber to a friends house where ill be spending two nights (on second thoughts, should have just come here directly after arrival....for those who love their space like me and hate to make others uncomfortable, swallow your pride, go spend a couple nights with someone you know if you know someone...its better to find your feet with the help of a local) got my sim(FIDO) got a bank account (TD)..going to open another with Scotia bank( THEY GIVE FREE MOVIES!!! LOL) and i'm just enjoying the food and the scenery


As for the cold, if you've been to Newyork and the likes....its basically the same, Its a bit over-rated...however someone said the weather has been great and it was worse a few days back, so, i'm still thankful....HOWEVER!!!...Temperature is different from WIND!....Its like Sahara desert Wind in sub zero temperatures.....so please don't buy scarfs and gloves in Nigeria or Europe. they have scarfs and gloves here suited for their weather which makes it pleasurable to go out, because if you buy sub standard "wind protectors" one of two things will happen...youll throw that away and buy another here which is more expensive or going out becomes a punishment.


Sorry for the long post

Hello house, Pls advice me on this
My Dad asked me not to include my Step Siblings in the Family form that i should jst put, N/A, as in i am the only Child. Though the truth is, My parents are divorced and my Dad is a UK base living with my step mother and 3kids.
So i was thinking, wouldn't this people (VOs) later find out about the truth? Coz you know, i will surly upload his Int'l Passport's data page, And i am thinking they might use the info on it to run a background check on him.
He said, i should not include my steps siblings coz, it might leads to too much questions like it happened 13-15 years ago on the UK Visa he tried to get 4 me but couldn't and he wasn't even sure if it was a denial or not.

And again, on the Visa denial section on my Visa application, should i say yes that i have been denied Uk Visa before or No cause, like i mentioned above that Dad said is was 13-15yrs ago (during my JSS level) and wasn't sure if it was a denial of not but wasn't given then cause they required more info and he said he thinks, they may not hold the record for that long.
So pls guys, what's your opinion on this?

Processing times vary but you should get it within one week.

I don’t know if you got my question earlier about personal asset. I don’t have one, will landed properties of my parents work for that?

I don’t think they will run a background check on your dad’s profile. People have applied without their parent’s ID and still got approved.

On the visa denial section, I think you should mention that you were denied because if the embassy request for more info within a set time-frame and you don’t meet up with the deadline, they will reject your application.

Okay, thanks.

Good afternoon bosses, pls I would be applying for my masters this year as I just recently graduated (November 2017). Is the NYSC certificate a necessary document in the travel visa process as my parents aren't interested in me completing the NYSC process. Am applying for fall 2018 admission. Would also love to know how long it takes to get a student visa and it's level of difficulty especially for someone who doesn't have any travel history. Thanks and God bless..Happy new year to everyone

Thanks for your guideline...I was actually misinformed by those travel agents. They told us that we need to share same surname for the VO to be convinced that we are related (my uncle called two different travel agents in my presence). I asked dis same particular question u mentioned about those that have relatives from different country...the issue has been clarified now & we are on to the next stage.

hello house,

WHAT IS THE IMPLICATION OF SPONSOR PAYING THE TUITION AND LIVING EXPENSES TO THE APPLICANTS ACCOUNT FEW DAYS TO SUBMITTING THE APPLICATION?

There is this other issue, on the Visa form, there is a part where a question is asked about TB disease if the applicant has it or any relative close to the applicant. I don't know if i should tick Yes or No, though i have the TB and i don't cough but only my Blood test shows positive and i have been on 9months Treatment with injections which i started May last year and would end it by Feb 2nd.
So, i am confused cause, i am thinking if i tick Yes, the VO might refused me Visa without even being called for Medicals first or should i just say No and let the Medical result judge? Since i have already been treated..
Pls guys, what is ur opinion? Cause i heard the VOs like applicants who are sincere

Finish your treatment and get tested before you apply. Or go ahead and apply but tick YES. If you tick NO and your medical report says YES, you are done!

TB wont stop you from getting a visa as long as you explain to the VO the medical arrangements you have made in Canada to take care of yourself.

Hello house, pls I’m planning to do my masters in Canada, I would like to find out if I would get admission in any Canadian university because I finished with a second class lower.

So, you mean after i have been treated, i still need to explain to the VO about making a medical arrangements in Canada to take care of myself which i haven't. Since that is your advice for me, i will go for it then but pls, i will need you to put me through on how to go about that (the medical arrangements) cause, i am a novice in this traveling stuff.. Pls help bro cause, i dnt wanna make any mistake that will lead to refusal ... Perhaps i should mail you?

Hello NL, i really need more info on proof of fund/sponsorship matter. The truth is that i have saved up for my tuition fee, which i am to pay to the canadian school soon. I still need proof of funds/sponsor for study VISA purposes and seems like it should be father/mother/sibling/uncle/aunty/ or inlaw. I don't have any of my immediate or extended family financially capable of being my sponsor, but i have another sponsor (a non-family member) who is willing to stand as my sponsor and show POF for my other student expenses. Has anyone been in this kind of situation before? How did you handle it? Was it enough "financially" to be granted the study permit? Meanwhile, Do i need to transfer my tuition fee (that i have already saved up personally) to my non-family sponsor to pay to the school on my behalf? or pay directly to the school myself? Does it have any effect on the visa application process? Please HELP!!!

Hello. Please I really need your help. I intend starting my application.
Please I wouldn't mind a school where I can get some sort of funding whatsoever.
I have a Bsc In Business Admin (1st class)
Can you forward me the name of your school to see if I can give it a trial?
I also sent you a pm. I'll be glad if you can respond.
Thanks.

I got funding and it covered all costs both tuition and living expenses except travel
