Matter has been buried so why didn’t you just skip? Mobi already said that & I said of course. But instead You made a post to contradict me but couldn’t do that without insulting me? You should change your monkier to Madman01 because you obviously weren’t born normal. Don’t mention me again!

Hello patty, I hope to start my application this month and I will like to get some directives from u, can I contact u directly? Thanks

Luckymama:


It’s just sad that most successful immigrants don’t tell those of us still here the realities of life. If they did, nobody will sit in Nigeria and be telling someone that as a student you can “recoup” 4K in just a few months.

Na experience dey teach. We will all learn eventually.

Osemigho:


Immigrant here.

Any prudent student that is not lazy and choose to work full-time during the summer can save more than 4K during the summer. In fact some “die” working during summer and save 10k for their tuition sef.

All these na small money during the glorious days of Oil and Gas industry in Alberta. Go and ask international students that did Safety watch during summer. They easily save more than 4K. Why? The job is usually longer hours, they fly you to the location, put you in a hotel and feed you when you on the field. I hope some people don’t start dreaming about it. Hahaha. It is real and some students still do it in summer.

4K is also small for prudent and single international student that are on full scholarship. For those not on scholarship, some schools give more than 5k after the first year of the International student have excellent grade. I know undergraduate international students that received about 10k every year from the University of Calgary till they graduated because they were maxing their GPA.

However, 9ja people can drain you out if you are not careful mehn. Most of them don’t care that you are student. Some won’t even know the school or city you are, but will ask you for money every time. This is where most international students spend their earnings because they have poor people that have turned them to ATM.

Don’t let us talk about international students that worked illegally because their hustle is against the legal system. The funny part is that some here, names withheld, did it to pay their tuition and living expenses. I think Some even say it here boldly after they graduated and immigrated. Read well and you may see. I don’t advise others to do it because it is too risky and can be detrimental to your future.

You don’t know what you don’t know. When you don’t know, ask the question “how” rather than argue that it is not possible. Hustle is hard in Canada. Hustle is real in Canada. However, Canadian hustle pays more than Nigerian hustle, and there are many legal was to hustle and save more than 4K during summer.

This NL forum won't be the same again, sigh.

Greetings gurus and angels in the house. Please, help me with suggestions that can make my application good.

Issue 1:
I'm to embark on PhD program, and I got CAD 21k scholarship (my tuition is 7k, so i have 14k for expenses), but my naira account has almost nothing because within 2018 to August 2020, I was in China for my MSc. However, I received a scholarship there in USD and had some cash savings to the tone of #2 million naira.

QUESTION: Will it be a good idea to lodge this N2m into my naira account and explain how the money came about in a LOE, backing it up with my MSc scholarship award letter? I discussed this with a friend before who said since I'm no longer on that scholarship, I should not upload the award letter. How then do I explain where a sudden 2 million came from?

Issue 2:
I am married (for 5 years) and now have a 6-month old child. My wife is self employed (does sales) but with no CAC registration.

QUESTION: How can I show that my wife can support the family at my absence?

Issue 3: Is just a survey plan enough for a landed property that's been developed/built to a level?

Issue 4: Is it possible to use a non-relation as a 3rd-party sponsor? Say a family friend, a politician or public office holder?

I will be glad to hear your informed suggestions. Thank you.

Btw, my SOP is written and I will be glad if can get someone to vet it for me. God bless!

Olayinkaji:
I just said I should chip in here too, if possible let us try to do our application by ourselves and limit ourselves in using agents. I have made a mistake that cost me denial, and the agent wanted to charged me 80k for gcms notes (thanks to posts from Frankrobbn and others that its just around $20 max, ) that made me know otherwise.

Just an advise to everyone.

It will end in praise.

Frankrobbn1:



I have nothing against you @Luckymama, it's normal for any leader to face criticism and rejections from others. It has always been my desire to do everything with a good heart and expect nothing in return, with this I won't be disappointed.


I wish you the very best in your application. Hoping to receive a positive outcome from you.


As always, It will end in praise.

Home Ties: my folks and siblings

I actually applied to a two year diploma program at UCN, a college in Northern Manitoba cos of its cheap tuition.. I went for a program(CED) different from my undergrad course(Finance) . I get discouraged anytime I read an undergrad dip is dead on arrival but was able to tackle this on my Sop relating it with my association with YALI network with proof.

I got admitted at Niagara College as well for PGD but in all honesty, I can't afford such hence my reason for a cheap undergrad dip.

I started classes on Sept 8 and the experience so far has been awesome. Unfortunately, I would be disengaging today. I haven't been comminuted officially by IRCC but I'm happy I got my notes on time as I have until October 2 for 100% refund..

I really appreciate all those contributing selflessly on this platform.... I'm grateful

@Lekiboboe.... Much love... no homo..

I also noticed another person's application correspondence on my gcms notes.. guess its a mix up from IRCC...

DINO71:

Taiwolus:


So sorry to hear that you were delayed. Although I am curious about the GCMS note as it has my sister's information in it. Can you please reach out to me. Thanks.

Her application was rejected this morning based on

- Purpose of Visit
- Personal Asset and financial status.

She's 17 and the refusal reasons doesn't make a lot of sense (especially the personal asset and financial status part).

Eilenora:

September 24, 2020: acknowledgement of receipt


September 29, 2020: sent emails to all 3 email addresses on this forum.

Besides the usual acknowledgement and confirmation, no update yet.

Please note that IRCC's responses say they have received and forwarded to Nairobi, but no confirmation from Nairobi and no update to passed on portal. Portal shows they did not receive my medicals.

I have every reason to be worried cos so many people on this portal had same problem and used same approach after which their portals have been updated.

What else should I do that I havent done already?

oreafe:
Hello all,

I need your experienced views please.

I got admission in the university of Ottawa and applied for student visa. I paid fess and there was almost 20m in my sponsors(husband) account among other properties etc. I just recieved a refusal o.
Refusal was based on financial status and assets, family ties in Nigeria, travel history.

I was in the UK last year, and my husband and two children are with me in Nigeria.

What do you think should be my next course of action? Should I defer the admission and restrategise or go and do PR � I’m confused.

Ideas pleasssseeee!
