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.

i have submitted my application last week, but my dad only have 35m in his account and he pledged to give me 5m each year making 10m for the 2 years and i also have 8k funding from Mun each year for my masters program, but i have 6siblings, did you all think this financial status is strong.
i have been seeing people with huge SOA getting the visa, hope the money i have isnt too small.

pete26:
Please can you advice on how you sourced for your funding from memorial or did it just come with your admission offer.

Ayodeji787:


Normally, if you applied for a Research based MSc, admission offers usually comes with partial or full funding from the school or from your supervisor.

Like me, I was offered full funding of $16,850 per year from MUN and my tuition fees is just $4833 per year. Which means I still have $12,000 for living expenses.

I hope this help @pete26

pete26:
thanks very much. I opted for an M.Eng, clearly not research based. Thanks for your assistance. If I may ask what course are going for and how far have you gone with your application?

oluwatosin47:
Ok. Thank you very much but can you explain how you did it. Please

Frankrobbn1:


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.

Frankrobbn1:


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

Hi really appreciate you guys, I have a dilemma. With a profile like this, Graduated law 2002, law school, NYSC, worked in a law firm for years, in 2009 worked as a public servant for 6 years in education visited Canada in that capacity, subsequently went back to a different law firm and have since worked there while volunteering as an English teacher in some schools. I have also taken some English teaching courses online. I have a passion for both Law and Education. However at this point I would love to pursue a career in Education as I intend setting up a school. What do you advise?

JustMellow:


Get a power of attorney, this gives you the permission or right to manager the property on your father's behalf. Also, in terms of inheritance, don't just state it in your SOP, at least show proof of a written letter of intent from your father regarding to such effect.

Good luck!

Hello. I am looking to apply for an undergraduate degree in Canada. I am 26, finished my secondary school in 2009. I got into university in the republic of bene in 2013. I dropped out in 2016 as my parents were not convinced with the quality of education.

I have been working on and off since 2016 and now finally ready to go back to school. My parents will be sponsoring me.

I want to know what my chances are and the best route to go when writing a statement of purpose and letter od explanation.

I will appreciate helpful comments. Thank you

I need advise from complex applicants / anyone with similar experience as this applicant is mid degree and changing programs.

The SOP is in the 7 page range. This content is Intro, reason for program, why Canadian school as opposed to Nigerian options, job opportunities in Nigeria and opportunities for growth and expansion in Nigeria and economic home ties to Nigeria.

Is this too much ?

Qudkom:


A diploma program will be your best route. Or better still request for your academic transcript in liue of getting course waivers for a bsc program. However, with the recent trend of refusals there needs to be a clear study plan in order to convince a visa officer.

Paris wow! That's a first for me. Hopefully they are lenient with their decision. There was a time study visas were processed in Ghana due to the ease of study vias approvals it was moved down to Kenya.

Also the fact that your application is been processed in Paris also signifies the volume of applications Nairobi is dealing with. I wish you all the best.

Ayodeji787:


Please when did you submit your application? @MsJu

MsJu:
9th/10th May. Got medical request on 15th May.

How did you find out where your application is being processed?

Neephemy:


After you download the app, register, then after you register you will click on new payment, then follow the instructions, search for Conestoga college on the list of schools, then after necessary detail has been put then the equivalent of the amount you are going to pay in naira will be shown, then put ur card details. You will be debited and you ur receipt will be sent to you once the money is delivered to the school. That’s all
