According to my calculations this PTA tin is almost same with buying at 800plus from bdc .
For instance , u can only get 2500$ for pta and rate now is about 430.. that means with charges n all u will spend above 1.1m to get $2500 and before u cud get pta u wud hv a return ticket . Return ticket is about 2m now , add 2m to 1.1m that’s 3.1m in total expense.

At bdc rate a $2500 times 815 is 2.037m and u don’t need a return ticket or whatsoever to buy $$ from bdc . If u spend 900k for one way ticket and add this together it’s not even up to 3m. So y worrying about pta? Unless u can have a way of getting refund for not using the return ticket
How did you got return flight for 2m, return flight is normally lower than one way ticket at all flight bookings and depends on the preferred date for departure and return

Your given exchange rate
Usd Bank =430
Black market=815

2500usd to naira bank rate =1,075,000
2500usd to naira black market= 2,037,500 naira

Example # Assuming you book ticket with Qatar Airways
One way ticket is =733,991 Naira
Return =350,000 naira
Total =1,084,9911 naira which is one way ticket and return flight

2500 usd @ bank rate =1,096,300 naira PTA
2500usd @black market rate=2,037,500 naira black market

To sum the total savings from pTA instead of black market @ 2500usd =?
Black market - Bank rate =
2,037,500-1,096,300 =962500 naira
Total savings =?
962,500 naira -350,000 naira for return flight =612500 naira....
Total savings from PTA = 612,500 naira

@bepositive11 what if someone did overstay, not caught nor deported but returned willingly.
What are your thoughts?
Depending on the country if the person left the country by air they will find the overstayer from exit checks..
From the departure flights, the airline used to depart the country will transmit passenger information to the immigration agency..the person will be subjected to re-entry ban even if the person left the country voluntarily.if entry ban elapsed the concerned government embassy will continue to refuse future visa application based on previous overstay,the person will require very strong tie to country of origin and satisfactory intent to be successful in any future application after ban elapsed.

You may have submitted employment documents and bank statements this may have added more weight to the application. Not necessarily the fiance and coming back to marry her because marriage ceremony will also require income or funding.

There was no deportation stamp on my passport but I applied for a police report and it was declined saying I have an immigration ban, so I guess that’s deportation uhn?
I have seen the uae immigration law.. if this is applicable they may have used administrative deportation According to the law which can be removed by submitting an application to General directorates of residency and foreign affairs in the respected Emirates.
The case you had with authority has not been resolved now you the ban applies.You may need a good lawyer to resolve this!

Hi good morning, I did not overstay my visa and yes I was deported for doing nothing.

Infact my visa is still valid till 2023 October. The Dubai government randomly does that and then adds a filmsy charge against the person. You can go on google and search for “use illegally deports Africans, human right”

In my own case, our buildings were raided and all the Africans were taken and deported, no police case, no court case, nothing. Just picked and asked to buy a flight ticket.

Most people this thing happened to are in other countries and didn’t declare they were deported but I don’t want to lie on my application.

Have you had people in this situation before?
The bolded is a typical voluntary departure, since you bought plane ticket at your own expense and left the country though seems an illegal move by authority. visa still valid with no evidence of deportation!
You are not a deportee in that case!

That is actually not true those that get that statement 'we are refusing you on the basis that your personal assests and finances are not sufficient blah blah......' when they order GCMS notes there is another reason there whether based on proof of income or third party sponsorship.
I did a research on this reason back when I was applying and in all the notes I got to observe I never saw when it was stated that the applicant doesn't have enough funds for the four/total years of study not everyone can afford to have 50m lying around in their accounts but their total net worth can account to about 20m.
So in summary, using an account with a huge amount is fine but it doesn't guarranty approval the best thing to order GCMS and find out why exactly whether it is third party sponsorship or lack of proof of income or even lack of secondary funds.
I am open to other suggestions let me know what your think this is just from my point of view and the agent I used.
To the bolded VO can still refuse the application if the officer is not satisfied that funds would be available for the whole course that means the total duration of the program and can be stated on GCMS.. though they won't mention duration of the program _where the income is not satisfactory ...not necessarily mean applicant should have all total funds in bank account ,see gcms found at website.

Secondly for me to invite them, do i have to pit their names wen submitting my visa application?
According to the canada immigration rule, pgwp holders can invite family to join them on pgwp.
To be eligible they will be working in an NOC O, A or B occupation
The spouse or common law partner may apply for spousal open work permit

Name or details is necessary to be provided when submitting an application .

IRCC gets roughly $100 million a year from govt. This is in addition to ALL the monies generated from all the different application and penalty (if you apply late while in Canada) fees. If you use a fake/modified/altered account statement, they will catch you.

The funds you need are under $10,000 or max $15,000. You already have a scholarship and have started studies online. This shows that education is more important, not moving to Canada. This will also reduce the amount of months you need to prove

You have NOT yet submitted an application. Your application is mostly for the Co-op work permit. You may include co-op earnings (perhaps using 20% higher than min wage as a min reference).

- You need to submit NOW
- Explain that since you have started studies online, months in Nigeria should not be counted towards your $1,000 monthly need.
- Have enough funds to cover: fees that have not yet been paid, 18 to 24 months of living expenses, explain that your co-op will afford you the opportunity to work for X number of weeks (as specified in your admission letter); explain that this should also be considered a source of funds (using 1.2 x min wage x X weeks).
- Go straight with Canada, not the corners my bro.

Look at this site for quick info on co-op: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/work/intern.html
The bolded will result in refusal under paragraph 220 (a) (b) (c) of IRPA ..applicant must satisfy an officer that they have sufficient funds without working in canada to maintain and accommodate themselves and any family member accompanying them to canada..
Furthermore co op was designed to obtain work experience in canada..

You're very naive.

All those people you quoted are agents -- business owners. To run their businesses, they need clients and they go where the money is. You can't expect them to be spending a bulk of their time here on Nairaland answering questions for free.

Everyone who answers questions here is valuable. Everyone. Even those who answer only a few questions. Even those who were rejected. Don't come here discouraging people from sharing the little they know or the wealth of knowledge they have just because they don't have years of experience. If answers are not accurate, others who know better will correct them.

Even those agents you quoted were once beginners. They weren't born with Canada immigration knowledge. They learned a lot from the previous threads.

You sef, how much have to contributed to this thread? How many answers have you given? Only 1.

I ignored your first post, but you just won't stop. If you want particular people to answer your questions, quote them in your questions and let us rest.

Also whoever said once you have a long year study gap you must do a course related to your present job is also wrong.

That is just a jinx...I applied study permit for someone who graduated since 2010 and is now selling clothes,her programme is just diploma and not related to her clothing business at all and she was approved.All praise to God.
