This is a a matter of ratio and proportion. It is not the balance that matters. Factors like how young your siblings are, are they established, currently pursuing university education, etc. Also the type of account provided (Company, savings, joint etc)

Well the factors involved are really comprehensive and I hope you'll do justice in providing documents and facts to ascertain your sponsors ability to sponsor you.

mzjokky16:
Account balance of 27million, is that enough

This is a a matter of ratio and proportion. It is not the balance that matters. Factors like how young your siblings are, are they established, currently pursuing university education, etc. Also the type of account provided (Company, savings, joint etc)

mzjokky16:
Pls house, i couldn't get my 6 siblings birth certificate, they have been destroyed with water, and i dont want them to do new one so it wont look somehow suspicious to the VO.
What can i do now cos that is d only document delaying my submission.

You can have their age and nationality verified by the National Population Commission.

Ps: I hope your sponsor financial portfolio is strong because that's a whole lot of dependents.

Lol no.

Gurus in the house, please is it everyone that submitted application that will be called to go for medical examination?

No. You only get called when your application gets to that stage. A lot of applicants unfortunately dont get to that stage. And even when you get called for medical it is still not a guarantee but offers hope of an approval in most cases.

I am really sorry to hear about passports being held up for weeks even months. After going through the pain of getting an application right and the excitement of getting a passport request. The emotional distress waiting for your passport is extremely difficult.

This is more than sending webforms or even visiting VFs centers. I think concerned parties most especially the ones that have been waiting for months should try and go to the Canadian embassy in Victoria island and make extensive enquiries on their passports.

This is just my personal thought and opinion. Most especially for people that have purchased tickets and about to miss pre semester orientations.

ghabrhiel10:
Thanks bro, can I go there tomorrow without booking appointment?

Lol no. Call to book

ghabrhiel10:
Medical mail just dropped, thank God. Pls gurus I need help with the phone numbers of any of the two Medical Centers where I can go to get it done

Lagos or Abuja.

IOM in lagos will charge approximately 41k
Qlife will charge 35k.

Qlife where I did mine- 0702 770 4055 or 08113975433

You will go along with medical instruction letter, passport and passport photograph×6 (to be on the safe side)

You will undergo chest Xray, blood test for HIV and syphilis, urine test ans general medical checkups (eye test, bp, height and weight etc)

After that a doctor will interview you and ask general questions about past health histories. Tell you to lie down on a bed and check your abdomen, eyes and tongue.

I recommend Qlife very professional. And please get there id possible by 7:30am.

plss plss i need responds plssssss

Hello, please stop stressing yourself. Walk into any bank and request for the form to make an international transfer. Access bank I know makes this easy. You don't need to do an exchange or whatsoever to make your payment. It's very easy just give 2-3 working days to reflect in the schools account. Alao make sure your name or preferably your sponsors name appears on the invoice given to you in the bank. That way you can claim your "inlaw already paid your tuition deposit in your letter of sponsor".

6 months before your passport expires you can apply in ontario-ottawa at the Nigerian embassy. That's not a big deal.

Read my previous post on 3rd party sponsor for more information.

You will also need a detailed LOE to comprehensively explain previous refusal.

dedecoder:
We're in the same shoe. Resumption for me too is May 6th. My flight is supposed to be today yet passport not ready. No correspondence letter either. I've called, texted, sent CSE, and the likes as suggested here but no response. I even went to VFS Lagos yesterday to be sure my passport was transmitted in the first place!

Friday this week would make it 4 weeks that I have submitted the passport and going by previous data, I thought it should have been ready even before now.

My advice is this: Let's keep hope alive. Something great can pop up after today's system maintenance. But by the way, when did you submit your passport? And when tracking it on VFS, what response did you get?

I understand the frustration. I'm also having a similar challenge. Calling the vfs lekki customer care is so difficult. After several tries I was able to talk to someone. Just when the lady was about to dictate my tracking number for my passport there was a network malfunction. But what she mentioned was it takes 5-15 working days to get a response from the embassy. I am just lucky my resumption is for Fall not spring.

They dont reply mails either and its unprofessional on their part not to send my tracking number.

Just keep pestering them, hopefully they give a speedy response. Everything in Nigeria is difficult

Anamekele:
@ makano and others . please your candid advice is need. My resumption is next week yet no medical request. What should I do?

Defer admission and notify the school on the delay concerning your trv application.

fumisko:
I lease I have a Canada study permit I got January this year. But I did not travel again. What am I to do?
Am I to cancel it and if yes how do I go about it?
Or am I to leave it expire on its own at no consequences?

2. Secondly can I use a study permit as a tourist visa to Canada? Or it’s impossible. Thank u

I really don't understand your motivation towards your study permit. But i will advice you do proper justification to it. Because the action of one person can affect others. If your study permit is still valid you can make use of it simply ask the school to give you another letter of acceptance if they can. And you give a solid explanation at the point of entry why you couldn't meet up initially.

Please note that a study permit is different from a tourist visa I will also advise that you don't waste this glorious opportunity

SandCastle:
My GMCS note..I need advise guys.I am putting docs ready for another application.

There is more to this gcms note. Upload the full information for proper councel.

Stanley5050:
Good morning, pls guru in the house I have a problem here. I submitted my visa application via paper which I provided all the necessary documents including my valid passport on the October 9th 2018, in which I got a response on the December 3rd 2018 demanding a one year bank statement ticket. I provided and sent the necessary documents demanded via email on December 17th 2018. After then, I linked my paper application to an online account (gckey) where I can view the status of my application. I got a response on the April 16th 2019 which I was approved and my valid passport was requested by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. After I got the message, I tried tracking my application through Visa Facilitation Services (VFS global) but my document hasn’t been dispatched, which my application is still under processing according to them.
My problem is that I did my application via paper, where I submitted all my documents at the Canadian embassy in Lagos which my valid passport was submitted also. And they still requested for my passport, maybe thinking I submitted online. Any suggestions will help please. What I’m I to do.

To troubleshoot this I will advice you go to the vfs in lekki to clarify this error. You have just 30days to submit your original passport and if they continue to delay cic will not give a listening ear to excuses. You conducted your biometrics exercise there and they are mandated to submit your passport to the embassy at no additional cost.

IbikunleBukky:
From experience i will suggest ACCA rather than ICAN. ACCA gives you a very big edge, converting to CPA is very easy compared to ICAN, with ACCA you just have to do two papers to become CPA which is LAW and TAX. also with CPA certificate you can claim a 50 POINTS in Express entry for a canadian certificate that allows you to practice. With ACCA you can work as an accountant even without CPA, CPA just makes it sweeter. Also knowledge of how to use excel, power point, SAP, ERP and other accounting software is a great advantage.

Well stated. I actually meant acca made a mistake with the(aca)

Abbeyme:
Dear all,

Kindly show me the way..

I applied for a Student Visa in Canada since 30-mar-2019.
I did Biometrics on 03-April-2019. Uploaded same day, at least I got the Biometric number showing on my profile same day.
Up till now I have not got the advice for Medicals mail. Pls what do I do.

How can I know the Visa office handling my application.

School resumes in the first week of June.

Attn: Qudkom

Unfortunately tour application is 28days old. There isn't anyway you can contact cic because it is very well within the average processing time range. I know cic makes people anxious but just keep calm and be positive.

IbikunleBukky:
More Blessings bro. May God keep giving you wisdom as you provide your services free of charge.

Amen thanks

Jenny08:
Hello House, I just have a few question and will be glad if I can get a detailed answers.
So here's the story,
I just got admitted to Fanshawe college, London Ontario to study Professional Accounting ( Postgraduate Certificate) and i will start my visa process soon. Am still in the process of gathering all my documents together. I will be using my mum as my sponsor and she have only about 5m in her account and I have just 500k in mine....i don't have any other sponsor at all or any property whatsoever. i just registered a business under her name last month which is March because her business wasn't registered in other to get the CAC document and other requirements.
So here's the question:
1. What is my chance of getting the visa based on d money we have ( Note: My course is a 3 semester course and i have already paid for the 1st semester, the above money is excluding d fee paid already)
2. My course is stated a 1yr course which runs from September to August( 3 semester) How long Post grad work permit can I get?
3. I studied Business Administration(HND) as my undergraduate course and now furthering in Accounting......what is the job prospect for me in Canada?

Ms Jenny, there aren't any straightforward answers to your questions. However I will point somethings out:
1. The money available isn't enough!
2. Your age depends on what you have to show for personal assests and finance.
3. You have to have solid reasons for embarking on an accounting program that can be done in Nigeria.
4. Account for all your siblings and mums dependents

P.s: my advice for you would be to complete ACA exams in Nigeria and IELTS and apply for express entry. I know 2 people that used this route. Good luck. Also accounting is a tremendous profession in canada with good pay but takes a lot to attain the qualification

rickie67:
Please can you guys help me out with a cheap college in Canada to apply to

There isn't any thing like cheap college. Prices are competitive and mostly government owned. Just make sure whatever you choose is a DLI institute.

On the contrary what would you like to study?

Imoh555:
Good day everyone I'm 26 with just an OND result I'm actually tired of going to school in Nigeria and I'm tired of staying in Nigeria I want to travel to Canada to seek greener pastures please I need advice I would like to study as a pilot or doctor when I succeed in landing in Canada.. I need advice on how much to save for my journey, accommodation, flights tickets and how to study and work at the same time thanks

Bro!!! You are ahead of yourself. Keep calm and plan accordingly. You haven't even figured out what you want to study et all. You are already talking of flight ticket and working. I will suggest you read up from part13 and build your knowledge. If you have any further questions ask here or seek advice.

P.s: sort out what you really want to do and not "Pilot or Doctor".

SandCastle:
I am new here...

I need advise on my student visa application. I have a Bsc in Electronics/computer tech. Going for a PGC in cybersecurity at centennial college.My application was refused based on

1. Purpose of Visit.

2.Personal assets and Financial status.

3.Family ties.

I am putting docs together to apply again. I really need advise guys..

Welcome, you nees more than advice you need an executive reapplication counsel committee lol. But all jokes apart welcome to this platform. Give a comprehensive detail of what you submitted initially. You will get all the advice you need here,

sashaa:
Please, can a declaration of age(affidavit from court)suffice for birth certificate for my parents, siblings and i? I only have the one from the maternity where i was born and my parents and siblings can't find their's.

I will be applying as a self sponsored applicant and I've read from here that i need those.

Also, i want to do an upfront medical and submit with my online application but a friend advised against it. But the issue is that my job is very demanding(7-7) and i live in the east. Traveling on a working day won't be easy. I'm planning to use my leave to travel for both biometrics and medicals together.

Is there any disadvantage to an upfront medicals?

There isn't any disadvantage of conducting an upfront medical. The only disadvantage is it expires after a year should incase God forbid you don't get approved initially. And yes the affidavit can be used. Matter of fact the whole birth certificate is the least of your concerns although it explains your parents dependents if they are sponsoring.

Third Party sponsorship

I have noticed a few issues regarding the use of 3rd party sponsorship and I'd like to make a few remarks to the best of my knowledge.

3rd party sponsorship is the use of individuals/organisations that dont have a direct relationship with you or have their own dependents.

It isn't impossible to use a 3rd party sponsor, but a lot of people find it hard to get the required details. A VO needs to understand why someone that isn't directly related to you (father, Mother, husband, wife or siblings without dependents) would want to sponsor you. The very first thing they need to understand is:
1. Has the 3rd party sponsor assisted you financially in the past with concrete EVIDENCE! .
2. Can you explain vividly the dependents of the 3rd party sponsor and how this won't affect future assistance.
3. Can you explain why a (3rd) would want to spend so much money on you!.

so ideally there isn't a perfect way to do this or a magical document to convince a VO. However if you can get the following among other supporting documents then you are fine. Also note the older you are the harder it is for a VO to believe your case and you can get flagged for rejection based on "Personal finance" or inadequate reason for embarking on an expensive program.
1. Show proof the (3rd) has assisted in the past
2. Explain vividly the (3rd) dependents in a separate LOE. And back it up with documents
3. (3rd) financial portfolio
4. Rather than the (3rd) stating in the letter of employment that he/she promises to do this and that let the person pay a reasonable sum perhaps tuition. That way the LOS will have a statement such as
" I have paid the applicants 1st semester fee has my own quota of support towards the applicants studies and prepared to do more in future".
You will notice that the (3rd) has shown considerable support to convince the VO rather than making empty promises to the VO on supporting.
This is just a few tips and there are so many other things that can be done to help your application. God bless!

Magnifico2000:
On my medical form. What and what medical test will I do?

The following will be examined:
1. Blood test (syphilis ans HIV)
2. Urine test
3. XRAY of your chest region
4. Other vital tests; eyes, bp etc.

papijulah:
Hello people, I will like to know if a 3rd party account with inflow of about 160m but balance of 1m can be used.

No it's irrelevant. Especially coming from a 3rd party with apparent dependents and all.

Kenny4real68:
Good day everyone,
Please I want to submit my father’s landed property documents as ties.
But I am confused because am seeing lots of documents eg. Deed of assignment, irrevocable power of attorney, land survey plan . Please which one is the important one needed. He is even in possession of the deed of assignment and irrevocable power of attorney the person he bought the land from used in buying previously before he sold to my father. Please am I to include it as well? both the past and present?

secondly, our current house is owned by my father but the C of O is not bearing name, it bears the name of the man that sold it to my father many years ago. I asked my father why is the C of O not bearing his name, he told me that it takes time and it’s not an easy process and that the irrevocable power of attorney made have given him the right over the right of the C of O even though it doesn’t bear his name. Please How true is this? Submitting a C of O with a different name won’t it confuse the VO? I can also see a document written LEASE FOR A TERM OF 99years between Anambra state housing development corporation(Lessor) and the man whose name appears in the C of O as thev(Lessee), (that is , the person my father bought the land from)
Please someone should help clarify me the important documents needed to show prove of landed property/buildings .. @justmellow, @Qudkom @makano @naijaforeigner @austacus @042viber and please lawyers in the house kindly assist as I have no idea in this field.
Thanks for your suggestion.

You need a legal counsel on this issue. But I will advise you don't confuse a VO with irrelevant documents that can confuse them and affect their decision making.

I have always mentioned that there are various ways to prove home ties. Please read up my writeup on it in my previous posts. It's not just stating your father's properties that guarantee you coming back home. Other factors need to be considered.

Besides one or two property documents is fine. And you only need this:
1. Agreement(this isn't compulsory if you have the CofO)
2. CofO if you have
3. Survey.

I repeat don't dump documents it won't help your application. Rather makes it look ambiguous.

ahmedio2017:
Is it a must for me to have money in my bank account when i have someone to sponsor me if yes, like how much?

So many factors contribute to this:
1.Are you a mature applicant?

2. Did you claim to be self employed with a registered business?

3. Sponsor transferring living expenses?

4. Claim to have properties and other investments, etc...

Then you need to show some ID (statement of account)

Cherryola:
Pls house can someone who’s 28 year go for BSC I only have OND with me

Never say never. However:

1.chances of a VO thinking you are trying to use the study route to immigrate to canada is high.

2. If you don't have adequate finance then the vo will find it hard to understand why you can't just enrol for a bsc program in Nigeria.

3. You need to provide proper timeline of your study gaps.

4. Program must correlate with work experience ans OND.

Just to motivate you, in 2016 a teacher in his 50's got a visa to study an educational program at a college and was sponsored by the cooperative society he belonged. He didn't even use a SOA generated from the bank, he used the one generated on the online app.

I am so so grateful to God, don't even know where to start from. My approval is a miracle o. I never knew about this forum until 3 weeks after applying, whoops!! And when I started reading posts here I was so scared that I messed up my application, because I felt my documents I submitted wasn't complete, like affidavits of sponsor, certificates, and what made me scared the most was my sponsor..I used a third party sponsor, I don't even know the person, he just allowed me to use his SOA (but he was a kind man tho. I approached him that day and gave Me his SOA the next day) and my parent weren't financially buoyant at all.. I just used what I saw on Google and CIC website to apply o.
So when I started reading post here about the nairobi guys, home ties, third party sponsor...I was so damn scared , I lot hope already, I was just waiting for a refusal sef so I can reapply better and in peace, because the tension ehh no be here o.
A big thank you to @ Qudkom @ makano for your advice. @Dmerciful my personal VO ,i worried him as if he was the VO handling my application o..lol, he advised me to send another SOA (mine and my elder brother)via web form and mail to them even after getting biometric correspondence mail. thanks for your support and prayers only God can repay you.
Above all i thank God almighty for his favour and grace. I fasted and prayed earnestly, and God almighty manifested .
Thanks to everyone on this platform and to all the hopefuls, God will show his favour on your application. Amen.
You are next to testify.

Mijac:
It's abt having affidavit of sponsorship as additional document to the letter of sponsorship.

This shouldn't be up for debate. Head down to the nearest high court. Lastly, the absence of one doesn't mean a visa refusal though.
