I disagree with you on that note;because I have a friend who got approved with a BSC and he went for a diploma in Welding;he studied physics.
So what do you have to say about that ?

Apply and come back here to tell us the outcome.

I still maintain my initial comment, it does not show any progress and you are likely to be refused.

Yes someone might get approved with the profile you cited but it only take the grace of God for such profile to scale through. People from other clime may not have issues with that but for Nigerian applicants, it is a big problem
Let us call a spade a spade

@042viber12, I don't quite catch the bolded. Please can you kindly refer me to where it was stated on CIC website that a sponsored applicant should have a balance of at least 5M in their bank account?

Countless of sponsored applicants on this reputable platform have secured their TRV with a 50k personal account balance, while some didn't even include theirs and were successful. Bear in mind that visa officer is looking after the financial capability and stability of the sponsor and not the applicant.

Cc: Maestro001, You go ahead and submit the statement of 1.7M, it will surely go a long way to evidence your personal financial establishment in your country of residence.

@Frankrobbn1;I will do just that;thanks for lifting my spirit .

042viber12:
On the webform, wen u fill all the necessary information like application number and co, if takes u to the page wea u upload any document u want to add to your file...pls do it soon cos the correspondence letter u got means the processing of your application has started

Thanks am grateful

On the SOA, honestly no1 can say how much is needed on your SOA, all I can say is let the money be enough to cover your 1yr in canada that's after tuition deposit..on the SOP, I like the reason u gave but is there any home ties ie wat will bring u back to Nigeria after studies not just employment prospects..cos u need that too..if in the career progression, u explained convincingly, it's okay...

The choice is yours if u want to do paper or online route..i did online back in July cos I wasn't in the mood to be stuck in line at VAC and also I wanted to have a clear view of how my application was progressing..either way, paper or online, none is a sure visa approval but rather wat u have applied with in either routes

Owing to your pointers;as per the tuition fee which is 12kCAD;the requires me to pay half of it after I get the study permit and half is 6kCad which should be about 1.7m plus the 10kCAD(2.7m) which manes a total of 4.4m or more will be deposited into my account;(mind you I still got 1.7m in there)which makes it about 6m plus;I hope this helps?

Also with the other home ties aside employent prospects ;this is what I wrote on my SOP:

My siblings (mentioned there names) who have raised and supported me throughout my life pursuit are currently residents at (gave details of their various addresses with their respective names).
• I can’t wait to travel home on completion of my programme because with such enviable skills obtained on completion of the programme together with my previous skills, it is obvious that I will inevitably gain from the wide range of opportunities awaiting me on return to Nigeria.

What’s your take on that ?

Lastly,I think the paper can be linked online;if I’m not mistaken ;so it’ still gives a detailed progression of the application;but either ways ;the God factor still comes into play in terms of Visa approval.

I am not the principal applicant;besides I’m only letting out the simple fact as a witness to such approval which debunks your earlier statement .
Anyways what do I know ;you are still the guru and I’m a learner (Take the lead elder)��

I quite agree that it takes the grace of God to make it happen and for the records;my friend is a Nigerian just as I am.

Proper documentation+God’s grace=Visa approval

Maestro001:

It is generally recommended that there is a career progression IF you are applying from Nigeria. However, there would always be exceptions due to context, Grace (for the religious folks), applicant's LOE or discretion of the VO.

Once you step foot in Canada, you don't need to worry about Career progression. You can do two 1 year programs (same level) and once you are done, you apply for PGWP.

P.S This is for all students coming to Canada. As a student you are allowed to work ON and OFF campus

OFF Campus = Max of 20 hours (some companies give you about 22 hours, depends on the shift)

ON Campus = Unlimited hours, although getting campus jobs could be challenging.

This means you can work more than 20 hours as a student if you can get ON campus job that does not clash with your time table while doing off campus jobs.

Hello sir, is your intended program of study English Language foundation? If otherwise, the VO's may not need to defend their decision as you might have succeeded in making their case for them.
Please next time, you may use an online grammar checker as it seems you have inadvertently put a question mark on the integrity of our education system and this may result in compulsory English tests such as IELTS, TOEFL or PTE examination as a prerequisite for future prospective students.

I understand you might have written in annoyance but the number of errors is regrettable. Kindly do something about it like recalling or updating it after blaming "auto-correct".

Lastly, we do not really have the statistics to blame Kenya peeps. Some people may be silently getting their approvals and walking away without feedback. I have noticed 1 or 2 people who screamed out of frustration only when they became afraid of their situation. In Nigeria, it is common place to see 3,000 applicants apply for job openings for 50 people. The VO's may be in the same situation. You cannot really blame the company when they eventually engage the 50 people they can accommodate just the same way we may not be able to fault the VO's. Your application may be air tight and excellent in your opinion as well as that of the case officer but they do not operate in a vacuum as there are other constraints to contend with.

Please take it easy. I lost a friend who was supposed to get married a little over a week ago about 3 weeks back. Sometimes, when you see a problem, you realise that you should be thanking God for so many things we fail to appreciate, like life. I am guilty of such ingratitude oftentimes as well. May it be well with us.

Apologies for the refusal. Been there too many times.

You deserve an Oscar for this !!!

That is fine but need more like wat are those opportunities, using mine form example am going for a course in energy management, I studied electrical engineering. I explained that I am into solar panel installations and since Nigeria has this major problem in power, entrepreneurs seeing solar power as a possible solution and that's my plan to gain the knowledge and venture into that..which entails job creation, improving the economy etc..

Saw this on CIC site. So I don't know shaa if you can still send. I am in the same shoe with you but I have left it in God's hand.

Prospective applicants misunderstand the question TOTAL FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR MY STAY stipulated on the IMM1294E form. It's very unrealistic and irrational to use the closing balance of your guarantor as funds availablity because no sponsor would give out all the funds available in his/her account for your study, owning to the fact that there are dependents, business, and personal welfare to cater for. To provide clarity to this question, the immigration officer is asking after the funds available for your first year of study. Hence, the amount of funds that your guarantor is willing and eager to give you per each academic year and the total funds in your possession/account (if any) makes up TOTAL FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR MY STAY. Sometimes this

Helo bro please I have this friend.he took his waec in 2011 and he doesn’t have any degree certificate even bachelors none of them..anyways he wants to apply for a bachelors degree program ..do u think he stands a chance if he applies to Canada or do u think he would be rejected because of this study gap.??

mysticken:
I need help please... Just got rejected, how do I go about reapplying again do need to order for Gcms I was thinking maybe it's my transcript I didn't add that cause it.... Please help my brothers and sisters....

What route did you apply via?

042viber12:
Do u have an HND? If u do, that's Wat u submit..if u just have the ND, I feel u are meant to go for a pgd..that explains the 1st reason of denial being purpose of visit...also u did an ND in computer science and u are going for something in welding...that alone is Wat the VO meant by rejection based on purpose fo visit....2ndly, you CIC standards for personal assets are your SOA should have at least 5m while your sponsor should have at least 15m.. from Wat u said your sponsor having 9m isn't enough to cover your schooling and living expenses...thats the reason for personal assets..

Lastly, u need to explain the career prospects of u doing an apprenticeship in welding...Wat I mean is what will u offer wen u come back, wats the employability of your course in Nigeria...also that letter your bro wrote saying he will house u, pls don't put it again cos dat might cost your own bro his stay in canada

not true bro.. rather it has undermining effects towards the applicant's app for the VO to assume of the applicant not returning back home after studies

I think your friend needs to explain wat he has been doing during the study gap...but it doesn't stop him from getting his visa..just needs to explain why he wasn't in school at the time he was meant to be in school..

Hello house, i have read so many comments here, and did a research on a school I can apply to, yet I couldn't come up with any positive results as d fees are relatively high for accounting related courses, pls I ll like a suggestion on a school with low tuition fees that I can apply to and get admission as I ve bn a victim of an agent who collected so much money from me and later told me I wasn't given admission in all d 5 schools he applied to on my behalf. I graduated with a 2.2 in Bsc Accounting, 10 years working experience in a state internal revenue service. And can I go for a Pgd? Is it also possible I go for a course that is not related to accounting? I also have 2 years diploma in social work. Pls house I need help

sorry about your encounter with the agents. When doing my research about canadian schools with masters in accounting or accountancy i noticed the fee is relatively high and the schools that offer them are kinda few too. Memorial university has a masters of science in management course and the tuition is affordable,university of ottawa has the same course too and it affordable too. All you have to do is go to the each of the university website and check for the program requirement and what the program is all about for you to have an understanding on what it really is.

I didn’t use it and still got visa, thanks to God

Good morning house,

Please I want to find out this:
I submitted my application 18 Jan 3019
But My sponsor’s tax clearance certificate that I submitted have expired 31 Dec 2018

But have gotten the 2018 tax clearance certificate now

Should I send CIC email with the updated tax clearance?
If yes, please I need the email address and based on the biometric correspondence letter that I got, it's Nairobi that's working on my application

Thx

I was once there, keep the faith

It is evident that Nigeria, my country of citizenship has one of the largest markets in the oil and gas industry, with several on-going and proposed future projects incorporating pipeline engineers with skilled knowledge in pipeline welding inspection and quality control. As Nigeria does not have any institution of learning, where skills in pipeline engineering are being imparted to scholars, there is a shortage of qualified personnel with such additional skills in welding inspection and quality, hence the qualification I will obtain, will place me among the team of experts whose demands are inevitable in the fast growing oil and gas industry in my home country.

Owing to this fact,
On completion of my proposed programme, I intend to establish an excellent career in pipeline construction and integrity, with special interest in defect assessment, pipeline welding processes and welding inspection, using non-destructive tests (NDT) techniques relevant to the appropriate international codes and standards, such as ASME, CSA, BS and API. This will place me among the team of experts whose demands are inevitable in the lucrative pipeline industry in my home country Nigeria.

How would you rate this ??

It doesn't necessarily matter, many applicants has gotten a positive decision without submitting the tax clearance certificate. In my opinion, the submitted tax receipt would also suffice but if you need to satiate your curiosity, send via the web form and email directly to Nairobi since you already know the VO processing your app. BTW what route did you apply via?

I disagree with you on that note;because I have a friend who got approved with a BSC and he went for a diploma in Welding;he studied physics.
So what do you have to say about that ?

Quoting him @justwise in recap, He said likely be refused not you will be refused

Maestro. You must be talking about cruzAJ back in 2015/16 I guess. He studied physics and opted for welding.

Good morning house,how many days after visa application submission you can link your paper application online?

This excerpt of your SOP is good but ensure to state out the full meanings to the used acronyms so the VO can get familiarize with the actual expression/meaning
