HOW TO OPEN A CANADIAN BANK ACCOUNT FROM NIGERIA

Make sure you have a solicitor/lawyer stand by to notarized all your documents before kick starting the process.

Thanks

Thebushboy:


You will need to get a lawyer or notary public to verify your documents. They usually request for international passport, drivers license and you study permit/introductory letter from CIC. If you contact a bank in canada from Nigeria, these are the documents required for you to verify through a lawyer.

Hope this helps.

Thanks so much

Yes, I have the work permit in Dubai and I intend to apply from here ..


Thank you so much... God bless you .

dubaiboy1,

Are you currently on a visiting Visa in Dubai? If so, you will have to return to your home country to apply for your study permit. But if you're a on a Student Visa or permanent residence over there, then you are eligible to apply from Dubai. I don't seem to understand what you mean by the bolded words. Do you mean to say your uncle has given his documents to a distant relative last year for visa application? If so? Yes you can use his documents, try everything humanly possible to get an updated bank statement from him and know the progress of the previous relative he gave his financial documents to be sure if the applicant application is still undergoing processing with CIC or finished, so that the applicant application won't collide with yours(i.e using one (1) person to sponsor two (2) different applications.
More so, in a situation where by this is a maternal uncle, attach your mom marriage certificate, birth certificate and uncle birth certificate and international passport bio data page to evident that both of them once shared same family name.
In addition, you can as well show strong proof of relationship with uncle, which can be history or ongoing financial support from him.

All the best!

Lemia,

Don't let the automated email which you got after successful submission of your study permit application confuse you. Lagos visa office recieves study permit applications, after which they transfer it to the processing office which is Nairobi or Accra for paper route, while online applications are mostly processed at London or Turkey. So far so good most visa approvals and refusals I have seen from prospective applicants are coming from the above mentioned offices, I haven't set my eyes on Lagos visa office issuing visa for study permit.

Hello Frankrobbn1

I'm not referring to any automated email from VFS.

I'm referring to the content on CIC website stating that study permits and temporary visa applications from Nigeria are processed in Lagos.

Some time last year when I checked, it was being processed in Accra.

Also I think the approvals from London, Nairobi and Turkey were all online applications which lead to the conclusion that online apps can be processed anywhere.

Here's the link to the CIC page

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/contact-ircc/offices/international-visa-offices.html

Frankrobbn1:


Your application is likely to be processed at Kenya Nairobi or Accra. Lagos visa office doesn't process study permit applications. They are meant to receive applications after which they transfer them to the above named offices.

I think it has changed now. Those applications are being processed in Lagos.

The last time I checked as at January or so, the link said Nigerian study permits were processed in Accra now it says Lagos.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/contact-ircc/offices/international-visa-offices.html

If you can go to Abuja, it will be better for you. I did mine there yesterday(including biometrics) in less than one hour.

Sounds interesting! Indeed it has changed, but I'm yet to see an application that was processed at LAGOS visa office. All good! Thanks for the info

Lemia was actually correct! See attached! Permanent resident applications are being processed at Accra, while temporary resident visa are handled in LAGOS visa office, of which I'm yet to see an application that was processed by them. Because most paper applications I have seen are handled at Nairobi or Accra.

Good morning house....I've been silently following this thread and I'm finally out. well done ya'll for the good work. I'm a graduate of accounting, I have a diploma in culinary art and I work at a 5star hotel as a chef. I wish to further in Canada and I came across culinary art school of ontario with an affordable tuition for a 9months program. I'm a young married woman with a baby. Do I stand a chance of getting a study visa? pls help a sister o

Frankrobbn1:


Okay! For an undegraduate program, you can extend your research to the below listed institutions for the winter semester:
1-) The university of Winnipeg
2-) Brandon University Manitoba
3-) University of Regina
4-) Univeristy of Manitoba
5-) University of Saskatchewan
6-) Memorial University of Newfoundland
7-) Thompson Rivers University Kamloops.

All the best!

thanks bro

reichwolf,

You can go ahead and complete the first term tuition deposit requested by the university and send the official transcripts quickly so as to acquire an unconditional acceptance offer for your study permit application. Again, be guided that payment of upfront tuition is not a prerequisite to visa approval. When it comes to Canada study visa, your duty is to certify the visa officer that you will leave Canada at the end of the authorized stay by providing strong ties to your home country. You must also present justifiable reasons to why you're going for a second masters degree in Canada rather than a Phd to show progression. What is your current activity? Is it related to business?

Well I had to do some small work in Petroleum distribution business. My dad owns a few businesses. Do you have any tips on how I could draft my SOP to convince the Visa officer that I will come back after my studies?
I think maybe I should include official documents of property owned by dad.

Quick information for anyone going for submission at VFS Lagos,you can’t have your submission done the same day, you have to book an appointment to a later date like 2-4 days after,for biometric it’s about a day after booking of appointment , I hope I helped someone from some disappointment.

JoseJonn:


It was a mistake the date is even sixteen but when I log in via GC key it shows that it was received on d 17th that's what confuses me.

Your application got to the embassy on 17th .. yes you submitted on the 16th and because of transit time between vac and embassy that is why it was received on the 17th. So kindly use 17th to do your counting
