I'll be quick about it. Thank you

Fill another family form with their details, also attach copie of their birth certificate and forward to cic (try to be fast about it as your approval might depend on how early they get it). CIC can be unpredictable sometimes, so just do what they asked and you will be just fine

You can ignore if you don't have an answer to the question; its a forum and am sure some persons must have had similar experiences with the school; for your info, I sent them a mail since monday and they're yet to get back to me and considering am supposed to make the payment on monday, I need to be sure what their refund policy is. Thanks though for your contribution.

You people will be asking some sort of questions that baffles me. Who better to direct this question to than your intended school. Please we should stop bringing questions that could easily be answered by the school or by simple research on our part.
Contact your school to know their refund policy.
NB: This is not just about you but has been the trend in this thread. Some of the information we seek here could be easily gotten with a simple Google search or contacting our respective schools.
Good luck

Good morning House,

Please I need assistance with the following questions:

1) Where do I get the 4 required CIC Forms for study visa application from?

2) Do you suggest I apply online or paper? If online, what is the link to the online application?

3) What are the fees to be paid for either online and paper? Confirm if it is only visa & biometrics is N56,000 approximately?

4) Can I just submit Bank Statement, Sponsorship Letter and Affidavit of Sponsorship for sponsorship? Will this suffice without adding sponsorship employment documents?

Thank you and God bless you.

Thank you so much.
Pls check your email
Frankrobbn1:




Having gone through your profile and the list of supporting documents. First, I can deduce that there wasn't adequate proof of relationship between your distant uncle and you (Principal Applicant). What were his reasons for sponsoring your studies in Canada and what does he stands to gain as a result of this Sponsorship at the completion of your studies. I believe you will be wondering why you're refused based on Insufficient funds to cover for your tuition, living expenses and transportation to Canada when you included a fat bank statement of (800,000)k Euros. shocked This is because you didn't establish strong proof of relationship with your distant sponsor in Dublin and for this reason the visa officer is in doubt/ not convinced enough that you will have full access to the funds in your Sponsor's company/personal account.

Secondly, what is the lucrativeness and the benefits of your proposed study in M.Ed(educational leadership study) upon your return to nigeria? Is there any demand for graduates from this program in Nigeria. How did you link your past studies and intended program in your SOP. All of these must be backed up with justifiable reasons to why you want to incur such a huge cost for a program that can be attained in Nigeria at a cheaper rate which will be benefical/reduce cost for your third party sponsor without having to travel abroad.


Thirdly, what are your ties to Nigeria that can compel your return back home after studies. Do your parents own landed properties, fixed deposits and investments in banks that you will be returning back to look after upon your studies? Do you've any job here in Nigeria that you will be coming back to resume work? Do you've any property in your name. Since you indicated that you're married, why didn't you include a marriage certificate to further buttress the fact that you've a home and great responsibility falls on you being the father/husband to your beloved wife and children. Furthermore, explain convincingly in your SOP how your family will be faring while you're away for studies. Does your wife own a business or in gainful employment provide an evidence for this. These are your ties to Nigeria and should considerably substantiate that you will leave Canada immediately after your studies. In your next application, I would suggest you include your personal account owning to the fact that you're married


Furthermore, travel history as I always make it known to the honorable members of this platform is not a factual reason for a visa refusal. In an effort not to derial the thread, refer to this link on what you can possibly say as your reason for not having travelled outside of your home country until now : https://www.nairaland.com/5233221/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/238#81441216


To crown it all, I'll strongly advise that you construct a good family tree that will show how your distant uncle is related to you either from your mother's side or father's side down to your generation. Uncle should show his eagerness in sponsoring your studies in Canada by paying your tuition and transferring funds into your personal account. This will prove to the visa officer at the canadian embassy that he is a genuine sponsor and will further demonstrate that you've access to the funds presented in your application. Evidence of your Sponsor's current immigration status in Dublin - International Passport bio data pages (resident permit card) and source of wealth should be included along with your next Application.

I hope this helps.

It shall end in praises.

Hello Everyone,

Bad news guyz, you need to know what you are doing before putting in a study permit application to Canada. Even at that, your sucess is not guaranteed.

https://studentimmigration.ca/who-gets-a-study-permit-for-canada/


Canada’s high rejection rate of international students is being driven by study permit refusals from a handful of countries, most of them in Africa, Central Asia and the Middle East.

Immigration officials rejected more than a third of all study permit applications this year and last year, but the refusal rate varied widely by the student’s citizenship.

International students from 31 countries had a less than two in 10 chance of getting a permit to study in Canada. That group includes students from Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Angola, Togo, Eritrea, the People’s Republic of the Congo and several conflict zones, including Afghanistan and Yemen.

In many cases, the refusal rate has increased dramatically in recent years. For example, more than half of all Nigerian applicants won a study permit in 2013, but fewer than 20 per cent of Nigerian applicants were granted a study permit in the first four months of this year.

The refusal rates in the map above and table below are based on statistics provided by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

“There have been no significant policy or processing changes that would affect the approval rate of study permits.”

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship communications advisor Shannon Ker provided this statement about the trend:

“We can tell you that officers assess study permit applications, like any other type of application, on a case-by-case basis, based on the facts presented by the applicant.

“Officers treat all applications in the same manner, though external factors, such as changes in socio-economic conditions in the country of origin, can have an impact on the assessment of an application. There have been no significant policy or processing changes that would affect the approval rate of study permits.”

Victor Satzewich is a sociology professor at McMaster University who has studied how immigration officers make decisions.

He said there are several reasons that a cluster of countries in Africa could be seeing higher refusal rates than other countries, and higher refusal rates than they had in the past.

Many of the asylum seekers crossing into Quebec have come from Nigeria. That may be colouring how officers are viewing applications from Nigerian students, he said.

“The Nigerian case is interesting in light of broader concerns about Nigerian refugee applicants. It wouldn’t surprise me that people applying to be students would get caught up in that. The mesh might be tighter for students who want to come from Nigeria (because) the visa officer there might have concerns about the genuineness of travel.”

Officers will reject a study permit application if they don’t believe the applicant will return to their home country after finishing their studies or the applicant does not have enough money to support themselves in Canada. Applications may also be rejected if the student has a criminal record, is a security threat, has a medical condition that poses a danger to the public or has a history of immigration violations in any other country.

“The broader concern for an immigration officer is, ‘Will they go back to their country of origin?'”

Another reason for the high refusal rates for African students could be simple economics, Satzewich said.

“A general issue for people from Africa and students more generally are the funds they have available,” he said, referring to a rule that requires students to prove they have enough money to support themselves in Canada and that the money was legally obtained.

“In poorer countries, it’s harder to accumulate those funds. If a country has a lower GDP, it may be harder to do show sufficient funds and it may be harder to obtain the paperwork to show the funds are legitimate.”

Two other factors make it harder for students from poor countries and conflict zones, he said.

If a country is in trouble and citizens are desperate to leave, immigration officers may wonder if they really want to come to Canada to study, or if they just want to get in the country to stay.

Satzewich said some students are disadvantaged because it is harder for them to travel internationally. Applicants who have travelled to a wealthy nation and returned to their home have an advantage, he explained, because that is an indication to the immigration officer that they are likely to return home after studying in Canada.

But may wealthy nations require tourists from many African countries get a visa just to visit. Applying is costly, takes a long time and the visa is not guaranteed. That means many African students don’t have the same opportunity to bolster their study permit application with international vacations, he said.

“The broader concern for an immigration officer,” he said, “is, ‘Will they go back to their country of origin?'”

Please has anyone here done WES verification for ESUT degree transcript?

I'm currently in the process. I was first asked to pay N35,000 to send my transcript to WES. And now I'm being asked to pay another N35,000 for verification. This is really crazy and I don't understand why our institutions should be extorting us this way.

N35,000 just to respond to an email??

Has anyone experienced this?
I did mine last year. It wasn't up to 70k. I paid same 35k for transcript and 11k for courier but never charged for verification.

With the way things are going, I won't be surprised if academic institutions start rejecting applications from Nigerian applicants. Canada just dey deny all man visa, US dey keep people on AP for 5 years... is it a crime to be Nigerian? Na we born ourselves?

As if it hasn't started sef. Try applying for admission in any Australian university, once you put your nationality as Nigerian, you can't proceed. You'd be asked to contact an agent. An agent that would charge 200k+ to proceed.. bullsh*t!
