PLENTY OF PRAYERS

After my medical request, I got a mail stating that the naira account seems fraudulent and requested for “my bank statement ticket ID and password”. I won’t lie to you this rattled me despite using a genuine statement of account. I generated the requested using my internet banking and sent to them as requested.

After so much waiting and praying it finally came.
I really want to use this opportunity to thank one of the most selfless human beings I know @frankrobbn1. Right from SOP review till date you’ve been most helpful. You’re blessed and always will be.
Then @awuuga I met you in this forum, I’m so happy our paths crossed, your a friend turned brother. What excites me the most is that we are going to the same school and the same course. Also, you being a term ahead of me gives me someone to look up to for guidance in school.

To all helping out applicants here, you guys are awesome. More power.

My advice to newbies, try and read the threads. It might be tiring and nobody expects you to read all the pages but read enough.

Thank you very much. I appreciate

Chaniel:


Generate the payment instructions by clicking on the link from the international fees page and follow the instructions, print it out or save as PDF to take to your bank.

In the bank, ask for FX transfer form, with the payment instructions page serving as a reference to fill the form(ask the teller questions if any)

PS: it's better if you have dorm account, there will be telex charges (about 25k)for GTB, I suppose it is the same with other banks.

The charges is applicable to any FX transfer, irrespective of platform, be it flywire or WU.

If the amount is below the max for Card online payment, the charges are very low, so use your ATM card and Flywire. for instance if you're paying for tuition deposit.

However with Form A, there is no telex or any other bank hidden crazy charges cos CBN is the one you're dealing with even though the bank is facilitating the transaction.

Hey,


I regret to hear your visa was rejected.... From my point of view, I can confidently point out that your study plan was vague and poorly written. How did you relate your intended program with your previous studies and current employment status. It will also be a big risk but not impossible to reapply for visa against fall term at this point without an upfront medical as the current processing times is 10 weeks and you would require to restructure your SOP which would also take some few days prior to your reapplication.

In a nutshell, I would suggest you work on presenting a logical and persuasive SOP and LOE that would substantiate that you're a genuine student with a lawful purpose to study and would depart Canada. The SOP/LOE should be well organized with ideas supported with relevant details. Paragraphing must also be used well. Furthermore, work on your ties to Nigeria that can motivate your departure after studies.(Aged parents who depend on you for support, parents landed properties/buildings, close bond b/w you and your immediate siblings and things you share in common with them, you belong to any organization in Nigeria which you must return to continue active participation in meetings, and your career Prospects in Nigeria upon your return etc...)

Best of luck

My brother frank please answer my question I am the only child of my parents and my father have a housing property that is rented out valued at 40 million naira and I have the valuation Certificate that bears my father's name can I submit it based on family ties that I will inherit according to tradition please advice me well

Of course you can. It's a very strong tie to your TRV application considering that it has a valuation report which would adequately inform the visa officer that your family is well off in Nigeria and you can't abandon such profit-oriented building which you're traditionally heir to for a Canadian stay.

i have been seeing people with huge SOA getting the visa, hope the money i have isnt too small.

Your dad giving you 5M out of 35M is sufficiently enough to sponsor you and i can state that you won't have any problem with financial sufficiency in your application. At this point, you should be more concerned about your purpose of study in Canada and ties to Nigeria that can compel your return home after studies.

MUN19:
Guys,

Is basketball team a social club?

I want to get a reference letter from them.

Thank you.

Basketball team is not a tie and can't motivate you to leave Canada after studies rather it will give the visa officer the impression that you're going to Canada to further develop your basketball skills and reside permanently in Canada. Hence, A reference letter from such organization has no impact on your application. You're better off looking out for recommendations from your local church or your local community. These are regarded as a tie to applicants home country.

Long Approval Alert!

I just want to thank everyone that contributed to my approval. @wealth360, I will never forget you for all your advice and guidance.

I was refused Visitor's visa three(3) times and it all came as a rude shock because I believed I had a tight application.

Details:

1st Application (Visitors Visa) March 2018 - Refused ( only reason was Socio-economic ties to Nigeria)

2nd Application (Visitors Visa) May 2018 ( Used Canreach) - Refused ( Document not authentic) - Was shocked because all my documents were verifiable.

3rd Application ( Visitors Visa) June 2018 ( Did it myself ) - Refused ( Existing EE profile )

At this point, my spouse was upset. Went to his school immigration and they said we were asking for the wrong visa. I sincerely wanted to only visit because of my work here in Nigeria ( I work with an IOC).

4th Application ( SOWP) February 2019 - Approved Today (Paper route)

Note: I submitted the same documents that I used for my visiting visa's, just a little addition.

hello Frank. I appreciate your immediate reply.

I got your mail. It's important to know that I am fully occupied with so many unanswered queries/letters from applicant's. For this reason, I won't be available to vet this letter of yours.. I trust my fellow knowledgeable members of this group will assist you with it.

I strongly apologize for any inconveniences this might cause you.

Good day everybody, please i will like to confirm if i can go for a master’s after a 1-year PG diploma in Canada since my undergraduate CGPA can't get me directly into a master’s program? Will it be easier to be admitted into masters after i complete a 1 year pgd?

You should be eligible for a master's program in Canada after successful completion of a year post graduate diploma provided that your results are great.!

Chukwuemekatehi:
OK, congrats once again. Mine is next.

@Chukwuemekatehi, Haven't you received your approval/passport request until now? I can remember we discussed about this sometime last week and also a possible way of expediting the process.

Hello Frank,
Please i need help.
I applied for a study TRV to canada.
Course of study- Cybersecurity Post-graduate studies at Centennial College Ontario
Offered admission for Fall Sept 2019 and its a 1-year program
i studied Electrical Electronics Engr and graduated with a 4.19 CGPA
I currently work as a system software engr

1st student visa application date = March 26th 2019
Biometrics done 28th March 2019
Refused date = 14th May 2019
Refused based on
* insufficient funds and not satisfies i hv enoughmoney for tuition fees which is 17,850CAD (i had made an initial deposit payment of 2,300CAD)

* insufficient funds to sustain my living expenses throughout my stay (my personal funds being 3M naira ~ 12,000CAD approx is wat i have in my account and my sponsor who is my immediate elder sister has SOA of 36M naira ~ 130,000CAD)

*insufficient funds to transport myself to and from canada

Reapplication date - 27th May, 2019
Biometrics Validation - 24th June, 2019
2nd Refusal Date - 27th June, 2019

In the reapplication, i addressed the concerns of the above rejection reasons by paying my full tuition fees from my sponsors account and giving them a breakdown of my budget on living expenses which is about 5,000CAD which covers my duration of stay for the program

2nd Refusal reason now is on purpose of visit. That they are not convinced i will return after my program

What do i do?

I intend to reapply immediately since i still have 9 more weeks to my intended date of resumption. Please how do i go about it

My 2 cents, remove the pension account from your submission except if "400k naira" is a typo.
