1-) The funds available in the sponsor's account (step father) should be sufficient enough to cover for the applicant's first year tuition and living expenses and have some left for the sponsor's immediate family and personal welfare.

2-) I don't quite understand your second question, do you mean to say if company/cooperate account is ever acceptable for Canadian study visa or is it compulsory that it should be a personal account? If so, company account is also acceptable as proof of financial support although by so doing the sponsor must provide a bank reference letter stating clearly that he is the sole signatory to account or a board resolution letter attesting that the board of directors/share holders in the company are fully aware of this sponsorship and hence won't tend to pose any hindrance to the applicant's financial support during their stay in Canada.

3-) Preferably an international passport bio data page will be better in view of fact that the sponsor is a foreigner which will show that he is legally residing abroad and also would serve as proof of relationship b/w the applicant and sponsor. Therefore, I would suggest you include it.

4-) Marriage certificates is a strong proof of relationship make an effort to include them. Remember to also make reference to all of these in the applicant's personal letter.

Best of luck!

Hello house, I did business name registration for a consulting startup with some friends but we have not been able to get it off the ground so we all moved on with our lives with the hope of getting it to work later. I current run a small supply business which is not registered and I have build considerable cash flow in my account.

Can I use my business name certificate and soa alone as proof of employment and home tie?

Yes you can so long as the business is legally registered in Nigeria.

Arobake:

Thank you very much.
God bless.

My pleasure!

Frankrobbn1:


You're better off using your employer as your close relative (uncle) this makes more sense to me. The visa officer will surely throw diversity of questions at your application should you eventually use your employer as your sponsor for your study permit application. Questions of this kind will suffice on your application e.g;

1-) For how long have you worked for this employer that he wants to spend his hard earned money for an employee?
2-) What responsibilities do you hold in the company that deemed you fit for a scholarship/sponsorship from an employer.?
3-) What does the employer stands to gain as a result of this sponsorship?
4-) Will you be able to have continued access to funds from your employer's account during subsequent years of study in Canada? Etc..

Your sponsor should include both his business and personal bank statement as well as his CAC certificate to evidence that his business is legally registered in Nigeria and earning legitimate source of income. Certainly, he needs to pay at least your tuition or living expenses to show in your account or to your proposed institution in Canada to demostrate his eagerness and commitment in financing your study in Canada.

Thanks for the answer sir!
So what’s going to be the relationship if I’m using my boss as my uncle cos we are not even from the same place

Hello From Sydney, Australia

I was in this race in 2017, I got denied by Canada only due to insufficient fund.

I changed focus to Australia. Now I’m happy getting here.

If Canada isn’t working, trust me is not the be destination in the world. Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands are great places and are all giving Student Visas

How much does it cost migrating to australia?

Should I use my current transcript for masters when applying for a study permit or what do you suggest I do in this area? Other documents are in place except my master's certificate which will be ready in July I guess...

GboyegaD:


Don't wait. Kindly go ahead and apply. I was in same situation years back. I will advice you use the online option cos it is less stressful.

Please I was asked to yes or no to this question but am confused because am Nigeria please help me
Have you lived in a designated country or territory for more than six months?

Frankrobbn1:


Yes you can so long as the business is legally registered in Nigeria.

I only have business name registration and not incorporation certificate. I hope this would work.

Hello house!

I want to say that this is one of the best places to acquire information and learn about real life experiences concerning studying abroad.

A job well done to all those who have contributed selflessly. May God bless you all.

Please, I need help from you guys.

Here is my profile:

I graduated from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka with a 2.2 in BSc Combined Hons degree (Microbiology/ Biochemistry) looking to further my education in GIS/Geomatics in Canada.

Last yr Aug, I applied online for a Canada study permit with hopes to continue my academic journey at Nova Scotia Community College for a course in Adv Dip Marine Geomatics but my application was refused on the grounds that I have limited travel history and my intention to study abroad wasn't convincing. Now, I'm planning to reapply to CIC but with a different school (Fanshawe/Fleming college) this time. NSCC has increased its nonrefundable tuition deposit to 1k CAD from 400 which is isn't reasonable.

My question is, for the limited travel history, is it necessary to satisfy the concerns of the VO by making a trip outside the country? What points do I include in my sop and loe to make that go away?

Many thanks!

Nice to know.
I'm in the same shoes with this fellow. Neither my parents nor I have any landed property to our names. How can one actually convince any VO that we have ties in Nigeria?

GboyegaD:


You don't have to own a property to show home ties.

Chukwuemekatehi:
Does having an aunty in Canada increase your chance of geting your application approved?

Depending on her status in CDA, nevertheless if she’s sponsoring you or even being a family member doesn’t limit your chances of getting the permit.

Some applicants get their visa with a family member residing or working in CDA.

Remember, all cases are different in the eyes of the VO.

Higherground1:
Should I use my current transcript for masters when applying for study permit or what do you suggest I do in this area? Other documents are in place expect my masters certificate which will be ready in June/July I guess...

Include your current transcript and explain your graduation date.

vibrant99:
karamo kpo!!!

They didn't have to write letter, Canada officially recognizes Nigeria as English Taught!

You is just a bunch of case. You should want to know that DLI varies, most i.e. MUN requires such letter to satisfy that aspect of IELTS whilst some automatically waive it if the applicant's graduate institution is among the schools recognized by WHED.

Your parents and siblings can also be your home ties

So what’s going to be the relationship if I’m using my boss as my uncle cos we are not even from the same place

You musn't come from the same state of origin with him(uncle). Your boss can be your maternal uncle, while you state in your SOP as well as his letter of sponsorship that he is a younger/elder brother to your mother and also the reason why he is sponsoring you to undertake a foreign education. Documents to show proof of relationship between you and your uncle are namely: Your uncle Int'l Passport Bio data page, Your mom's NPC attestation of birth (showing your uncle and mom once shared the same family name before your mom officially got married to your dad), a family tree diagram demonstrating how your mom and uncle are related from their immediate parent down to your generation (the children).

Anamekele:
Please I was asked to yes or no to this question but am confused because am Nigeria please help me
Have you lived in a designated country or territory for more than six months?

The question is simply asking after your travel history, have you travelled outside the shores of your country for over 6 months.? On the account that you've been in Nigeria and haven't travel abroad, the answer is NO.

ALT2:

I only have business name registration and not incorporation certificate. I hope this would work.

Please what do you mean by business name registration?, a registered business must come with a incorporation certificate from CAC. Can you shade more light on this, so I can be able to advice you properly.

Higherground1:
Should I use my current transcript for masters when applying for study permit or what do you suggest I do in this area? Other documents are in place expect my masters certificate which will be ready in June/July I guess...

Use your current transcripts for master's and apply for your study permit. Make an effort to state in your SOP that your master's degree certificate will be ready by June/July hence you didn't attach it with your application but have included a copy of your transcripts. You should be fine with that.

Words on marble.

Congrats Vikmeek, I can remember vividly some time last year when you came here seeking for counsel because your study visa was denied DUE TO INSUFFICIENT FUNDS. It's good to know you exploited other alternatives and presently in a country as good as Canada. You're actually correct, everyone mustn't be in Canada. Sometimes we should be actually be grateful for some things don't work out the way we once wanted them to. When we get rejected, or we fail or things don't go our way. We feel we are farther away from our goal. However, sometimes its those moments that we have the greatest opportunity to reflect, refuel and refocus. If a door doesn't open, it's simply not your door. Often we are trying to climb latters that are not ours to climb. Is your dream really your dream? Are you chasing what you truly want?. Sometimes it takes a good fall to really know where you stand. Everytime we think we are being rejected for something good, remember you're just being redirected to something better. I wish people will know about this and make the most of it. I am not trying to discourage anyone out there from not trying, but the trial should be to an extent.

Good morning house... My study permit application was refused... Here is the refusal letter I got...

Lemme give you my itsy-bitsy advise...
Change to Pgd/c or MSC.

If the diploma is working 5 years ago, sorry the system is as hard as nails now.

To the VO, your career is retrogressing (Bsc-Diploma) nonetheless diploma is kinda common in Nigeria (very rampant) you don’t even need to attend university, poly or college of edu to get it here, there are so many small institutes in Nigeria that you can do diploma in less than 4-month self.


Now for the travel history, insofar as travel history cannot be the reason for the refusal, don’t ignore it in your next application try and tackle it by saying you love traveling but You haven’t got the opportunity to travel abroad, have traveled locally in Nigeria (mention 6-7 states in Nigeria and explain the purpose of your travel to each of the states).

They must-have slammed you with the purpose of Visit and travel history in your refusal letter.

Just to let you know if you tackle the purpose of visit even without tackling travel history, it will be waived.

PS: YOU DONT NEED TO TRAVEL TO TOPNOTCH COUNTRIES because of your ”travel history” but you stand a better chance if you do.

Where you have work to do is the ”purpose of visit” as highlighted in your Gcms.

Bless you


@raymondrain
Please kindly share your profile for further Help from peeps here. The reasons of the refusal is too much to me.
Kindly share your profile.

I hope you've ordered your Gcms note if you want to reapply

Sorry bro,

You can also think Australia (as a student you are eligible to apply for PR and there are good paying jobs in Aussie)

what I can tell you is rejection based on travel history isn't a stand alone reason. it is usually accompanied with other rejection I.e purpose of visit + travel history. so you don't have to travel to prove that you wont pver stay. I hope this helps. lastly, you need to have a constructive reason on how your program choice will be of benefit to you back in Nigeria. p.s: you can include the fact that there is a high demand for people with that qualification and THAT YOU HAVE DONE YOUR RESEARCH AND NO SCHOOL IN NIGERIA OFFERS THE PROGRAM.

Anamekele:

tick no if you haven't travelled outside the country before or stayed in any country other than Nigeria for 6 months.

We all know our situations and peculiarities. Just exploit that.

Don't you feel that is getting more complicated? Have you thought about other family members of his planning to visit/relocate in the future? My take, we are Africans and we are families not just by blood relationships. Exploit that and you don't need too many stories. Just my opinion though.

Business name registration is just a registration of legal name for a business while business incorporation is deemed appropriate for established organisations.

sorry for your delay you can simply share your profile so the gurus in the house can help you point out some few errors made. and was your app processed in Nairobi.

This are the docs I submitted:
Personal education docs:
High school cert and transcript
Back cert and transcript
CV
Passport
Admission letter and receipt of confirmation of seat payment.
SOP
LOE
Employment letter

Financial docs( sponsor is mother)
Bank statement of around 10m
3 Land properties
Rent receipts
CAC
Letter of sponsorship dully signed and notarized
Birth certificate

Hometies:
Personal bank account of 1.3m
Siblings birth certificate and passport copy

Biggest problem was that I applied from Abu Dhabi which has extremely high rejection rate for foreigners(especially Nigerians).

Note: I have travelled to turkey, Singapore and Cyprus before so I don't understand what they mean by travel history.
Profile: have a bachelor degree in hospitality management and got admitted to NBCC for 2years diploma in hotel and restaurant management, also paid the 500cad confirmation fees.

Is it okay to come back to Nigeria to come apply? According to my fimdings, they couldn't conduct thorough background check on me because am not applying from Nigeria.

Please gurus, what's your suggestions?

@nuelzs this is my fourth rejection and am so devastated.
