Jewel80,

This was the origin of Kemdy97 current problem. How come yours is also not found?. The bolded is not a tangible reason to why a business name shouldn't appear on CAC portal.

Hello Nairalanders,

For the Digital photo we are meant to upload, are we supposed to paste on word or PDF or just upload like that as a picture?
I am submitting via the online route.

Also for the signature for the CIC forms, can we use an e-signature instead of printing and signing?


Please advise.

Goingforward.

My dad has not been filing documents with them since he registered in 1997. Guess they have wiped out such people. Now it feels like i am back to square 1. I was just about to submit my application then i decided to check here for comments and i saw kemdy's, i rushed to search for my dad's too.

Please what if i submit his updated tax clearance and leave out the cac outdated registration, i feel is beta to not submit what I cannot proof anymore. Are there applicants that get approved with tax clearance and no business registration? Cos i think people can pay personal income tax without being registered with cac ryt? There are many people who doing trade that earn good money without being registered under cac, moreso, he has paid my full tuition and sent in living expenses. Please advice me, i want to get this right..thanks

How possible is it for a student working and studying save to pay for his tuition fees worth 7500 cad

jnyuwa02:


It is what it is. The cut off for a masters in Canadian universities for Nigerian students, is a second class upper. Anyone lower than a second class upper is turned down or admitted on an exceptional circumstance consideration. The exceptional circumstance usually means you have more than 6 years working experience in the intended field of interest. Most student with lower than second class upper end up in PGD. But I have seen first class students too applying for PGD. Most of these first class who do that are either interested in the specialization and vocational training that PGD offers or have no idea what they are doing.

This is not entirely true. Let's not be too pessimistic. It's a lot tougher and expensive (multiple application fee payments) actually but it's not impossible to get a good uni for a Masters degree with a 2:2.

All registered business names are on CAC website. Just type the name of the company. Eg. ABC not ABC Nigeria limited it will appear. My father's business name since 1984 is till there

I keep seeing this advice to change school programs to match previous experience. What if the applicant genuinely wants a career change? It's more than just getting to Canada. After school what next?

Frankrobbn1:


Thebushboy is actually correct! The bolded words already flags your application to be refused based on purpose of visit. Why changing to a program that is not reasonable inlight with your previous studies and current professional career (job role)? That's a big hurdle for you!

Advice: Simply go back and secure an admission that is related to finance, then apply for your visa.

Hey, I was having the same issue too until I followed Wealth360's instructions. It appeared there was a misspelling of my dad's company name on there website. I typed just the first word and it brought out all the company having similar name to my dad's. Just follow suit and I believe it'll come up.

Jewel80:

That is since the business was registered he didn't pay for yearly filing or file annual return to show the name is still in operation


The yearly filing is 1000 that is of your business has not commenced .....or you choose the annual filing by consulting with and Accounting firm to prepared statement of affairs

I have read almost every MBA-related article there is on the MUN Faculty of Business website, and i keep getting the feeling that the school will be worth the venture. It seems a good school that will offer me quality at good price.

Based on your experience, how much would be substantial enough to see me through?

20hours per week is less than 3 hours daily. Thats okay, considering one has to also study. Please do you have an idea on how much one could get paid per hour if one were to get a job there?

Thanks

Oga your blood dey hot.....when your visa is approval and when you get there you will how much you will get.....

I don't believe this. My dear I can't remembered the last time my dad said he pays annual dues or this yearly filling u are talking about but his company is still registered and still there.

Jewel80,

Paying your full tuition and living expenses at your disposal has not provided your sponsor source of income. CAC certificate is a mandatory business registration document that is required by CIC and must be included along side with your application. I haven't come across an applicant that secured visa without a CAC certificate, Tax clearance certificate is not compulsory, but if you have one you can include them.

I advise you heed to @Wealth360 suggestion, try searching the business name and not the full business name that ends with limited and let's see how it goes.

You are not entirely correct, sir.

The minimum grade requirement for MUN, for example, is 2.75/4point. Converting this to the 5 point scale is 3.43 which is a 2.2

chigrad,
Option 1: BSc (Chemistry)____work experience (Business)_____ Intended program PGD (Chemistry)

If you decide to take this route you need to provide a rational explanation to why you haven't been following a career progression ever since you left university. You studied chemistry in your first degree and have been into business for 3 years and now decide to go back to your previous studies in chemistry after spending 3 years in Business. Your reasons must be strong and convincing enough Sir!

Option 2: BSc (Chemistry)____work expertise (Business)____ intended program PGD(Business Admin)

I advise you stick to this since you already have relevant experience in Business and also you have been following a 3 years career progression in Business, it's best you continue with this. You can find a convincing story to put up to why you deviated from your academic pursuit(chemistry) to business. What motivated you into business?, what you will tend to achieve after completion of this program, a brief description of your experience while in Business for the past 3 years.

Finally, the both options listed will scale through only with a good letter of explanation.

All the best!

This is specifically how my case looks like.

B.Sc Microbiology
Work profile/experience - Business.

I was confused as to whether i should go for a business related Masters degree (such as the MBA) or a Microbiology-related one (like Medical Microbiology)

But seeing your post now, i can deduce the VO folks puts experience over academic qualification hence a preference for the biz admin degree over the chemistry one.

If i didnt get it correctly, kindly enlighten me further

wealth360:

If your dad company is in operation then he must have been paying tax at federal level....asked him there must be a consultant he his working with.....or he his doing it by himself.......if a consultant is filing for him you would know....and when the consultant is submitting his audited financial statements or unaudited financial statement or statement of affairs to revelant authorised such as firs....3 copies will be printed....to firs....they will give him his own stamp copy...remaining 2copis with them..the other copy will be forwarded to CAC ..


Well CAC has started closing business names that are not remitting annual due or doing filing.....all do notices are giving before any action are taken......I work with an Auditing firm ....tax department to be precise. ....I know a little but I don't know all....

Even that one thousand for annual filing is for the first year of registration of business and continue every year before July 1st after July 1st if you didn't pay the one thousand nairaland it is assumed you made late payment and it will increased to 3500 for the year you didn't pay the 1000...


Oga wealth360 I greet oooo

But he doesn't have a website..by dway xo if it is not in goggle does it mean it doesn't exist

galala123:


I guess they mean something like the couldn't find the company listed after a simple internet search. eg Google search.

No HIT, not hiNt.

No he didnt

odimbannamdi,

In your case what will best sell here is an MBA program, considering that you're into business since you last left university and decide to further studies in business shows a career progression for you and will also stand as a career advancement towards your business portfolio back home. This appears more realistic to a visa officer.

A progression as it goes can be your current employment position/activity with your proposed program or previous studies with your intended program.

Kemdy97,

Yes the Canadian visa officers run through CAC website to know if the presented company is truly a genuine and a registered one under CAC. They might have searched for your dads company name and were unable to find it. That was why the issue was raised on your GCMS File.

Kindly, use the link below to check, if your dad business name appears on the offical CAC website: simply input the business name and it will pop up.
