Senatorkolade:

Thanks, how about my Qatar work visa that I don't have the employment letter anymore, should I just include my expaired residence permit or not..... and if yes what should I state in my purpose of visit..... I hope this will not have any issue since I don't ha've the employment letter. Thanks

Please declare all refusals.

JustMellow:


8.7m after subtracting your tuition fees and LE for a year is considerably good to an extent but if your mum can up it to 10m above to be sufficiently solid, it would be better as these VOs assess respective applications by/with different circumstances. If your mum can't up the available funds, it will be advisable to get a cosponsor so your application won't be on the bases of an assumption of just LUCK.

Good luck!

It'd be almost impossible to work and study full time if you do not have a co-op type course. Please go to the first page of this thread to read up on what is required. You can also use CIC dot GC dot CA.

Tuition would depend on the school you choose or the school that gives you admission. Also it would depend on the type of degree you're going to purse i.e undergraduate degree or a master's or a diploma.

No need to use an agent; that 400K can be put too good use for other relevant things.

If you're really intent on achieving your dreams, use Google, read extensively on this thread and previous ones, research, research, research.

Good luck.

How were you able to submit this document and what does the rejection letter states?

Chukwuemekatehi:
I stand to be corrected. I think this is not possible. My case similar to yours. I also have an HND and searched thouroughly for such before I now applied to humber college for a PGC.

Make your research still.

nonipeter:
Please frank check this my waec results can I use it to get any admission in Canada because the school messaged me today that they can't give me an admission that I scored low in English and literature thanks

thanks for your response and condolence,
actually i am not the breadwinner, i am just staying with my mum helping her out while i work as a software developer at an IT company in abuja. my boss already gave me a grant for leave for the next two years and also a sponsorship letter. in my letter of intent i claim the government plans to pay my dad his 15years pension arrears wihich my brother and i have planned to use to create a reputable family business.
as for my sponsors, they have opened a joint account in my name with 30k$ CIBC Bank. they also produced their SOA and letter from bank claiming their annual salary is about 191k $. i am also waiting to enrol in my fall semester term so i can pay my tuition as i cannot pay tuition without enrolling. after paying tuition then i can submit my visa application.
so my question is should i still upload my own personal SOA? thanks

I am so so grateful to God, don't even know where to start from. My approval is a miracle o. I never knew about this forum until 3 weeks after applying, whoops!! And when I started reading posts here I was so scared that I messed up my application, because I felt my documents I submitted wasn't complete, like affidavits of sponsor, certificates, and what made me scared the most was my sponsor..I used a third party sponsor, I don't even know the person, he just allowed me to use his SOA (but he was a kind man tho. I approached him that day and gave Me his SOA the next day) and my parent weren't financially buoyant at all.. I just used what I saw on Google and CIC website to apply o.
So when I started reading post here about the nairobi guys, home ties, third party sponsor...I was so damn scared , I lot hope already, I was just waiting for a refusal sef so I can reapply better and in peace, because the tension ehh no be here o.
A big thank you to @ Qudkom @ makano for your advice. @Dmerciful my personal VO ,i worried him as if he was the VO handling my application o..lol, he advised me to send another SOA (mine and my elder brother)via web form and mail to them even after getting biometric correspondence mail. thanks for your support and prayers only God can repay you.
Above all i thank God almighty for his favour and grace. I fasted and prayed earnestly, and God almighty manifested .
Thanks to everyone on this platform and to all the hopefuls, God will show his favour on your application. Amen.

AgroNACT:


Dear @justwise and @Schonebaby,

I really understand your concern, and you are really not to be blamed, we really cannot easily trust one another or think that our neighbour has good intentions because of the scar that has been engraved inadvertently on our memories due to bad governance and which brought serious economic hiccups.

As a result, the international communities view us under the lens of enormous doubt, unlike the times of Afe Babalola, Bennet Omalu, Chimamanda, Babalola Borisade (Late), Akinwumi Adesina etc. when good academic intentions and ambition could easily get you a Visa as a genuine student without the need to come from a Bill-gate-like Nigerian background.

However, I have had personal chat and phone call with the Moniker (@Schonebaby) and the said Moniker did not ask me for anything, neither has the person mentioned an agent or trying to make business transaction out of my predicament. It seems like I caught the Moniker's attention simply because we are of the same discipline, though with a level of graduate degree higher than mine.

It is on the strength of the above that i want to clarify the the Moniker (@Schonebaby) is a genuine person, with good intention to assist based on related experience with same spirit as that of a good Nairalander.

I thank you @Schonebaby and @justwise for interest in my case.

Nigeria must work and we must keep contributing to her progress without relenting.

Sincerely,
AgroNACT.

fufuNegusi:



thanks for your info, i really appreciate your efforts

but do you have any school recommendations suitable for a Masters Degree in I.T and i wont be required to pay any upfront tuition fees

JustMellow:


No, you don't need to except maybe if you have access to one. Your explanations regarding your application (especially your finance and home ties) is good, build more on it to be better.

Good luck!

ADVISE @austusus, 04 viber, qudkom, justmellow et'al

what is the best solution for a young couple who wants to relocate and hubby's sister is sponsor via SP

1) Tuition 13k, flight 4k to and fro, upkeep 15k, couple's joint account is 6k, sister has 55k in mutual fund and other investment like treasury. currencies are CAD.

couple are both employed and run private business and weekend basis. hubby has inheritance from grandparents land, house. couple both have landed property in their name different.

2) hubby going for a yr course, should they apply together or separately? if together, wont the vo think its just a short course and can stand as home ties for hubby? or can the couple claim their a growing family?

JustMellow:


Its really hard pleasing these VOs and no one can absolutely predict are they scrutinize applications. Your application seems good but in the absence of your gcms notes to really ascertain the authentic facts, i will point fingers at the Purpose of Visit as the principal reason and your current employment situation which dragged your financial status into the fold.

Getting a full funding/scholarship isn't a guarantee for a straight approval as you may baffle why. An applicant's financial capability/status and financial sufficiency might sound similar but relatively different to an extent. In using your case to explain this: Financial Capability/status is based on the applicant's personal/sponsor's/cosponsor's available funds whilst Financial Sufficiency is based on the applicant's funding/scholarship which you were able to satisfy one and didn't in the other.

The VOs believe so much in a ready/available/liquid fund readily accessible than a promissory paper of intent/agreement even if it would be later available in the near future. Mostly, during eligibility review, these VOs make an applicant's funds part of their scrutiny in this stage.

Now, let's assume to think like a VO: what if your DLI spontaneously send in a sincere letter/email of apology that they won't be able to or continue to fund an applicant at this stage given to some unprecedented/unforeseen reaaon(s) and they are cancelling the scholarship/funding, were will such applicant now fall back to? this would throw the applicant into a state of critical confusion and into an immediate stance of depression, making such applicant a liability to the Canadian government. To what is obvious, the VO might actually be averting this, and wanting to see at least a financial sufficiency from the side of the applicant even if no commitment is done given the presence of the scholarship/funding.

Be as it may, the deeds has been done, let's look to the future which is very bright. My advise is:

1. Get a sponsor that has a good convincing closing balance, and get the sponsor to write LOS with how much to be pledged for your Canadian studies.(This is just for formality given the presence of your full funding and you don't need the sponsor to pay a dime).

Let the sponsor also pledge to pay for your flight itinerary.

2. Include your personal account of 1.2m which this time, it will be met for sundry/miscellaneous expenses. Do well to express it out in your SOP.

3. Too many unnecessary documents, trim it down a bit and in place of work experience, include your NYSC PPA letter - do well to also fill it in the IMM form. In this form, in the place of work experience, fill in your academic institutions attended till NYSC with dates and certificates as proof.

4. Rework your SOP, and any vital points and claimed assertions should be backed with proper evidence.

5. You can use your family property as an inherited property of yours, then use your father's date certificate to relate the facts of such inheritance. you can get a lawyer to prepare the documents. Your wife should be more in better position than extended family that can compel you return. This should be your home ties but you can build more on it.

6. Good luck!

Hello guys, I sincerly appriciate all your efforts and selfless service in putting every applicant through in our documentation for visa approval . May God almighty crown all our effort with success. AMEEN! Please guys I would like to ask some vital questions as regards my visa application.

1. I intend to do online submission so I have already filled my study permit form and also validated it but im confused on the aspect where they ask if I had already lived in any designated country for the past six years and if I was refused visa before. In 2014 I travelled to Qatar for work but returned back to Nigeria in 5 months after.....also in 2015 I was refused visa to attend a conference in Germany

2. My question is, I don't have any employment letter as prove of work in Qatar but, I still have my expired residence permit id card. So can I include it in my sop or I should not even mention it as part of travel experience in my application since I do not have the employment letter. Although, the residence permit for my qatar travelling is on my expired passport not the new one I have now

3. Can I state in my form that I was also refused Germany visa some years back. This also appears on my old passport. Should I include it or not since its on my old passport.

4. On my new passport I was refused a shengen tourist visa in Feburay 2019. So I only included this alone as my only refusal.. should I leave it like that or what.... Pleas, i need an urgent reply to this above questions from the guru in the house. Thanks and God bless you all.

Bracha:
Hey Sally, I just realised you took down this post. I hope it wasn't because of my recommendation; I didn't mean for them to ask you for the SOP your friend used. I meant for them to give you their SOP for review especially because of grammar.

I'm really sorry if I've caused you any inconvenience - I just realised a lot of people are asking you for SOP.

Pele.

godsong:
there is no harm in adding 2-3 sales receipt to back up funds that reflect on your sponsors statement of account especially if it’s large funds. It actually helps to clarify the data on the SOA.SOA is a must and receipt are just to support.

Kez911:


Don't include it at all
