Hi all, saw a school I liked and looking at applying but the fees is 19,000+...postgraduate...

If I am coming in as self sponsored, can I raise that money by working part time in Canada.

Thank you.

FKBZ,

No! It's extremely difficult to raise 19,000$ while working part time (20 hours per week) during school sessions and full time (40 hours) during school breaks. You will still need an assistance from your sponsor to cater for your tuition, while you take care of your personal needs (house rents, feeding, transportation, books and all other living expenses) which is no joke in Canada, most especially your house rents which goes between the range of ($350- 700$ per month). Another big challenge is that getting a job as a first timer in Canada is very difficult, as most employers in Canada seek for employees with Canadian working experience before employing them. Many immigrants have this mindset that immediately they arrive Canada, they find a job straight up waiting for them... No! No!! It's not done. Most often you might be lucky to get a little paid jobs upon your arrival only if you've a friend or close relatives whom are already residing in Canada before you came in and will be of paramount assistance to help attach you somewhere for the main time while you go in search for a better paid jobs. Even as that, it's still not easy anyway. Endeavour to have this at back of your mind before travelling to Canada, so you don't get pissed off with what you see when you successfully land in CANADA.

Lastly, being a self sponsored applicant you need to show funds at your disposal for the entire period of your stay in Canada.

All the best!

Hello @vivicintia and vizzle4sure and LadyW

LadyW:
Oh yes...one UBC over here. Resuming September 1. Will be submitting my application on monday, online.
Worried though as I would submitting the proof of Med Exam I did in January for my PR application.
I included in my LOE that the uploaded proof of med exam was done in January, is yet to expire but I can go for another if I am required to. By the way, I am not sure of how to address my LOE....I addressed it to the Accra VAC, since i am submitting online. Any thoughts on all these? Please share. Thanks

Hello LadyW, how far did your PR application go? Ask the gurus if it's okay to apply for a study permit cos it may show dual intent - applying for TRV with a PR underway

Please i need an answer to this question:

My sponsor is a business man. Apart from providing his personal account SOA, business registration and tax clearance, letter of sponsor, does he also need to provide SOA of his business account to show source of income?

The screenshot below shows how sponsor should show proof of business and it says somtyn about providing SOA of business account too.

Please, am asking because i dont want a situation where he will provide SOA of business account as well and the VO will think that he wants to sponsor from his company's account and might start checking to see if he also provided a letter from the board members attesting to that fact.

Please what can you say about this gurus in the house. Thanks.

See screenshot below

Jewel80:
Please someone should help me out with this..thanks

There will be no need for his company's SOA if he has enough funds in his personal account. The company papers will explain the source of funds.

Thank you dear. Please does he also need to provide land or rental property documents? Is it necessary?

Yes, show landed documents. It's necessary and rental property also shows another means of income.

With student Visa no Financial Evidence is too much. show as much as you can.

Jewel80:


Thank you dear. Please does he also need to provide land or rental property documents? Is it necessary?

I will advise he includes them as they show additional proof of funds(its never too much). Also, I will advise he pays your tuition fee and transfer your living expenses into your personal bank account(especially if he is a third party) or transfer both tuition and living expenses into your account if your school doesn't accept tuition fee until trv is approved.
NB: All these is for funds alone, please make sure your work on other aspect of your application as well: how to tackle purpose of visit, home ties,..etc).

Thank you so much guys!

Thanks for your input, from your experience how much naira equivalent do I need to have in my account before coming to Canada, taking into consideration any average university for postgraduate studies... This should cover tutition and feeding and house... Worst case scenario...

Also in Nigeria I am a media consultant, more into brand management.. Media planning and buying and advertising as a whole...
The goal is to relocate to Canada permanently, so peradventure I can't raise the money for postgraduate, do u think my experience can fit into express entry or skilled worker..

Or should I take short courses in Canada in media management and is it possible to get a job that through that means.
Thanks

Obviously, there is crowd at VSF lagos. The goodnews now is that the management of VFS has strategize the way of controlling the crowd.

They open the gate at exactly 7:15am ..Everybody enters and form two lines.... One line for those who have come earlier and have their names documented.. While the other line will be for those who are just coming. The first timers put down their names and will be told to come the following day or another appointed day..

Just plan two days...

Its not what your friend cannot handle, though it may look stressful from a distance. I will give the same advise I got here last week.
Ask your friend to go, this will enable him/her get an appointment, and rest assured to be attended to on the appointment day.

Anyone going to Brock University?
