This is really interesting!

adeenzo:
Prove of home ties is very dicey, in my case I literally had no home ties; i ain't married, no kids, no landed properties, i only had a job as an IT systems administrator in a fintech company, all my siblings and my mom are all Canadian citizens, so there was literally nothing to tie me to my home country, I just believe that your SOP should be convincing enough showing how you can use your course of study to positively impact your home country.
Kindly wait to get other people's view on this
Thanks

Hi,

I have a job but I can't get a letter from HR cos it'd raise questions and I'm not even qualified for study leave.

I think I'd have to increase my engagement in my community and volunteering.

My dad is not my major sponsor.
It is my aunty.

24 can pass off as young yes? Lol

Do you have a job where you can get a study leave letter from? That’s a good home tie too

Any community involvement? Volunteer work? Religious commitments?

Is your dad your sponsor? You can include the docs for his land. Property belonging to your parent counts as well especially if you’re young.

Best wishes

Thank you! This was helpful.

For number 3, what do you mean by applying alone?

There are several ways you can proof ties to your home country depending on your story;

(1) If you currently have a job, you can get a study leave letter from your current employment and Letter of Reference/Introduction from your HR unit. With this document, you can demostrate to the VO, you are coming back to your job after your studies.

(2) Your Pension statement of account can also be a home tie.

(3) The property does not need to be in your name since he is your biological father - This can be a strong home tie if you are applying alone so you can demonstrate to the VO that you have responsibilites back home based on the key position you hold in the family,you can just do an evaluation of the property by a qualified Estate surveyor and valuer, the valuer can go a step further in addressing the document to The Deputy High Commission of Canada.

(4) You can get sample old pictures like 4 or 5 that you took with your family as further proof.

(5) If your parents has a business, attach all their incorporation documents - with this you can demostrate to the VO that you intend to come back home to oversee the family business.

So it all depends on your story. I hope this helps.

We dey here oh! My school resumed today and Orientation starts next week Monday. Had confidence for swift response as per NSE but we're expectant this week oh, the rain of PPR will fall on us by God's grace.

It will end in praise for us all...

Good evening guys, Please are there people that are supposed to resume this Jan that are still waitng a response from IRCC?

adeenzo:
Yes, you can book weeks before starting our study permit application; this is called upfront medicals. (and I personally advise this. but doing an upfront medical doesn't in anyway increase your chances of getting approval over someone that didn't do his/her upfront medical, it just purely speeds up your application processing time).

I am in Alberta province, Edmonton: accommodation can range from 370 cad to 650 cad for a room (definitely all utilities), also mild advice; try not to get a basement suite because some houses rarely heat their basement and trust me the cold is insane, so just be careful about basement apartments.

Adeenzo please where is this house at Alberta that is between 370 to 650 cad with all utilities and are the rooms with private bath or washrooms? If you have please let me know or you know someone who knows someone else (lol)

Please I am just about doing a valuation on one of my Dad’s properties. The estate valuator wanted to state in the report that the valuation was being done to aid in my Canadian Visa Application. I told him not to do that and to just do a normal valuation without any mention of Canada.

Going by what you said above, should I tell him to go ahead with he initially proposed?

wow!!!!!... your story sweet no be small, I pray God will be with you and do my wife own as well.

I agree with you, he does not need to state that the valuation is done to aid "Canadian Visa Application"

What i meant in my notes was that the valuer can address on the front page of the document to Deputy High Commission of Canada.

It is just a suggestion and does not guanrantee visa approval but just a step in making your application look more professional.

I hope i have addressed your question.

NSE19:
Thank you! This was helpful.

For number 3, what do you mean by applying alone?

What i am implying by you applying alone is that you do not intend taking anyone with you to Canada i.e your wife, child, parents etc so you are applying as a sole applicant and you are leaving behind your family members which you intend to use as home ties that would compel you to comeback and unite with your family after your studies.

wow!!!!!... your story sweet no be small, I pray God will be with you and do my wife own as well.

LANDING GIST!

I greet u all in the name of Visas and student permit

So as life don do me strong thing for naija(lost every thing I had) I come decide dec 21 2019 when my immediate elder brother de go London say e be like I need to ja o.

My brother used an agent and I met the guy at the airport that day. We exchanged contact and the rest was history.
So, feb 2020, I contacted him and we started my processing. He did everything but along the line, when I was itching to know details, I was told I can get info on Nairaland which was how I came here.

Fast forward to 20th of November, the ups dispatch rider called that he was at my gate to deliver my passport and that was how preparations started o

With all the informations I gathered here and outside I book Qatar airline for the 24th of Dec. I got to the airport early around 11am but had to wait for my FAAN friend to take me and my brother in cos me no get shi shi to give any airport officials. He came late and we finally entered the airport around 2pm. Normal as I don late the queue don long reach jericho. I sha secured a spot(naija way) and went ahead to weigh my luggage. Ghen ghen! Luggage excess like say na exile I de go. Na so we start to see what and what I can remove o but at the end of the day, I figured I needed everything so I decided to pay for the extra 23kg which was N106k. It was a process to pay and by the time I was done, they were already saying boarding will start in the next hour. Well, I paid, went inline again and it finally got to my turn and the officials had to do the normal confirmation. So, instead of waiting I come go change naira to 500 dollars cos I didn’t carry anything before but i figured i might need cash when I land even though I had paid for everything for my quarantine. I got back and the official passed me, I went ahead to get my boarding pass... dude was just shouting up and down because i carried back pack and another hand luggage which was more than 9kg. Naim i tell d guy say, so after i paid 106k for extra luggage u still want me to tip u? Nahhhh e no go happen and if I miss my flight, e go know say I be real edo girl. He sha started laughing from no where and said ok anything na, naim i tip the guy 1k then told him to give me window seat which he did. Na so we start to run to immigrations to clear us before we go board o. Got there, dropped my filled yellow card and they only asked me for the arrive can app and I was cleared. I was among the last 10 – 20 pple that entered the plane cos the luggage matter took my whole time #phew

I got in, plane was so niceeeeee , settled down and in like 30 minutes we were up in the sky
Plane was nice nice, food de roll even though na cold bland rubbish, I chop am like dat de visit toilet to offload and get ready for another upload. Few hours into the flight I noticed pple were holding their phones, I asked and was told there was WiFi and I was like Ogbara Jesus!!!! I quickly brought out my phone and that was how I connected o and was chatting with my family(Omg! It was so nice). I saw a movie and later slept. 10hrs later we were in doha and as we were coming down we were boarding the next flight to montreal. So, in all we spent about an hour in doha and off we go again. Plane was nice nice and it was same thing with the chopping, shitting, wifi, movies, sleeping. Even though this was the longest flight of my life, I didn’t feel it much cos of the services on the plane. Na my family just de shout say u never reach? I was chilling and enjoying myself.

We finally got to montreal(beautiful airport) and we went straight to declaration and from there to the CBSA stand where I was asked what I came for, my LOA and arrive can app. The officer then asked me to refill my info on the app cos I wasn’t exempted. Apparently, I made a mistake while filling it before. Anyways, I refilled and refilled until he took me to another officer, explained to her and was told I need to fill the form manually. I did and was directed to immigrations where I was asked only for my passport, why i was in canada, LOA and LOE. She then asked how much I am carrying and i told her 500 dollars and my atm cards(Kobo no de the cards o.... na mind I cross take handle this part like this o plus God was just on my side). I gave her the letters asked for and in few seconds, she got up, printed, stamped my student permit and welcomed me to Canada.

Oh my connecting flight to calgary was cancelled. I got to know this when I went to pay for my extra luggage in naija. I was angry but mehnnn na make I just comot I de reason cos I know when I get into canada I will sort myself. So when I got in, I went to the air canada stand to confirm my flight which was the next morning cos I no trust naija. Well, it was confirmed and the official were so angry on my behalf that Qatar should provide me with where to stay for the night atleast. For my mind make una no worry oooo I don enter be say I don enter. I told them I will go to Qatar to ask but Omo! Before I waka the airport finish 10pm don nack na so I come back to air canada stand area, saw 2 pple chilling and I just jeje took myself there, arrange and lie down, chatting and video calling my family. I was able to stay the night like that till the next morning and at about 5am I went to check in for my flight which was for 7am. We started boarding at about 15mins to 7. This time, I was among the first 5 pple to enter the plane this was where it dawned on me that I was in another land cos I was the only black person on that plane. I said wow for like 2 min straight cos it really hit me o. Anyways, plane jet off and I just slept cos I was tired as Bleep! I woke up a little bit relaxed, watched a movie that didn’t finish and after 5hrs we were in calgary! At about 10:15am on the 26th of Dec. Omg! It was so white and beautiful. I got out, got my kaya, called my school cab and in like 1min the cab guy was in front. The cold was much o but because of all the gist I don hear, I was well dressed o. Na ogbonge jacket i wear so I no feel the cold much. The car was heated so it was a smooth ride. The Indian rider was nice and was gisting me all through the ride. We got to my school residence and in no time I was in my room. Nice place but the food na wa eeee. No pepper but as God will have it, a nice guy from my school whatsapp group helped me got some few stuff so I cook better pepper jollof wey I de use de balance my taste buds. The residence wan use their kinda food kill person sha. Although, apart from the food, I’m good good. I got in, settled and paid my tuition few days ago cos I only paid tuition deposit of 1750 Canadian dollars but I’ve paid my term tuition now and waiting for school to resume Jan 11th.

P.S cagary is beautiful and i can’t wait to explore!

Thank u all and may God grant every hopeful visas and student permit soon IJN #WeMuevee

Awonaiye201:
wow!!!!!... your story sweet no be small, I pray God will be with you and do my wife own as well.

I disturbed the school with daily e-mails and calls until they sent it. They didn't even talk about the fees with me so I thank God for that

Restoredglory:
Thank God for safe arrival. Please how did you get your enrollment letter without paying your entire fee?I have paid tuition deposit and i intend to pay my tuition balance when I get there.

Awww thank u so much and yea we are waiting for all of you to come join us soon

deommanuel:

I hope to visit y'all in Calgary when I come over

Are you there for UG or PG studies?
You can also share your Timeline (that's if you haven't).

Thank You so much for this Landing Gist!!

IT WILL END IN PRAISES IN THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME.

awys:
Okay this gift deed is just like an attestation between you and the person giving the money (donor and donee) explaining that he or she gave you the money how the money was transferred,the date of the transaction and the sources of revenue of your sponsor there are different format online just Google sample of gift deed then you
read through and edit it to your situation then go to Ikeja high court to notarize it with their seal and stamp then you and your sponsor with counter sign it as well just like the way an Affidavit of Financial Support is done

Nice one.... Quick question: also directed to @chocs, lekiboboe, ralhpudoh, Frank, justmellow, all other protocols duly mentioned.

1. Can an organization (such as companies, local schools, etc) send a gift deed, is it acceptable?

2. Is it compulsory to provide the SOA of a donor (person giving the gift deed)

3. Is it ok if an applicant who's a self sponsor receives gift deed?

MerryCoke:
Please, someone should respond

Hi merry!!!.

Happy new year.

I'll advise that you prepare for winter 2022. That will help prevent unnecessary stress and worries...

Although it's possible (June to sept), especially with the NSE Scheme...

Bt just so to be fully prepared, apply for the winter 2022 program...


All the best.

A medical doctor who doesn't know what a yellow card looks like and the content therein

I shouldn't expect more from a Nigerian medical doctor sha.

Hellooo deepgutter!!!

At least apply maturity if not sense. No one said what you uploaded is not yellow. This thread is for Canada study permit inquiries and not asia. The guy emphasized on Canada.

You were corrected - it' won't kill you neither would it remove your tier nonsense if you could just apologise or better still admit you posted a right info on a wrong page.

Chocs:
Oh dear! Sorry you can’t get to me lol! My training was not in Nigeria. And even if it were, that would be an honour. I’m licensed to practice in 2 EU countries and in Nigeria (very proud of it). Shame on you for looking down on Nigerian-trained medical doctors. Keep trolling yourself. You’ve been corrected by several people but you’re still sticking to your wrong information, only the good lord can save you. They are all referred to as yellow card as I stated previously but they are different. Keep being ignorant.

Hi chocs. Although I understand that no man is an island of knowledge, I was shocked when deepgutter quoted your message and wrote "wrong"... I was like, " reeeeeeally!!!!?". You are one of the gurus I respect a lot on this platform and pls, don't disappoint me by replying to thrash. What would you expect from a mouth of a deeeepgutter?

Pls...

Good evening guys, Please are there people that are supposed to resume this Jan that are still waitng a response from IRCC?

we plenty ooo

@deepwater you are very very very wrong in every way.You could have read the genesis of the questions that was asked by Lentomac and why he asked it.?.From the landing gist people were posting he saw people mentioned that they filled "yellow card" which also signifies the departure card everybody knows you don't need the supposed "Yellow card" you uploaded for traveling to Canada yet you kept confusing people with your pride because you don't want to accept your mistake @Chocs tried explaining what she was talking about but you Kept talking and adding unnecessary stuffz that we don't even care about keep your profiles to yourself there are people who has achieved far way better than you do but they don't come here to brag about it
@Chocs has been very helpful on this thread helping people with their questions even out of her busy schedules right from day one and I respect her for that and respect her maturity as well.Even from your previous post on other platforms actually shows the kind of person that you are!!!.
So all those your diversifying post on this issue is not needed at all and very shallow.

TeeMade:
Hmmmm guys I'm just seeing this reference letter thingy in addition to MBS oh. I thought the reason for MBS was to show credibility for account statement since its sent directly to IRCC and cannot be faulted or forged. Hence, I didn't know about getting reference letter to support it oh.

The only reference letter I got was from FBN and that's because they're not able to provide MBS. This was to show credibility for the account statement of which I got them to stamp and sign on every page.

Make una clarify biko as na PPR I dey wait for oh, 20 calendar days for NSE don pass.

It will end in praise for us all...

@Teemade the bank reference letter isn't a compulsory thingy @Lentomac just mentioned it to solidify the MBS as he initially mentioned with your MBS your account is still very credible which they can still confirm so the reference letter na just jara so don't get yourself worked up about not adding .What the bank reference letter just signifies is that the bank confirming that you are the sole signatory etc just the normal stories so just relax and we pray for good success on the outcome that shouldn't determine the outcome!!!.Even I had even uploaded mine with my application initially even before the NSE request came in as GTB Bank issues it I just decided to add it with my bank statement that was why I mentioned that I uploaded mine as well.

good morming,

i have a quick question.

If you have paid tuition of say 21,000 and have 29,000 available in your account, when filling your forms, would available fund be 21,000 + 29,000 or just the "29,000"?

thanks.


luckymama please come to my aid. I believe that you paid your tuition as well.

Funds available for your studies should be 50,000.

Hi all, for those that were denied for this reason below;

"I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status."

How were you able to rectify this? And when you got your gcms notes, what was the Visa officer concern. Please help me.

I will advice you to order for your GCMS note and get the denial reasons in detail. Based on your post, the denial was because of lack of funds or no proper evidence of available funds, so with your GCMS note, you will be able to know where the loop holes were and how to tackle them.

oladapo2020:
Adeenzo please where is this house at Alberta that is between 370 to 650 cad with all utilities and are the rooms with private bath or washrooms? If you have please let me know or you know someone who knows someone else (lol)

I am afraid you might only be able to get bed and bath apartments from 650 cad upwards, getting one below might be very rare and also might not be conducive or worse case it wouldn't come with utilities so even if your bed and bath is 600cad, you might still end up paying over a 100 dolls for utilities and another 40 cad for your monthly phone bills. your monthly bills can easily rack up

Good morning please is there any evidence of payment one can send to school when a student pays tuition via form A cos my school is still insisting they haven't received my payment.

MerryCoke:
Please, someone should respond

I will advice you to apply for the September program first, get the admission. Then continue what your doing at the moment by building up your funds account, apply for visa when you're confident of your financial profile. You can easily defer your admission and raise a Web form to update IRCC with the new admission letter.

Goodluck!

Please I need help
Sorry to ask . Please do I have to pay immediately for the transmission fee or wait until they contact me since i have already sent my documents
