Hey guys,
I’m new to this thread,please I got admission to Assiniboine Community College and they are asking me to pay 800 dollars in order to get my unconditional acceptance letter but then I’m worried that 800 dollars can’t sponsor a student visa..my first year tuition is up to 15k dollars..should I go ahead and pay the 800 dollars they are asking for or should I pay higher than that for the sake of my visa application.

Please I need help on this

Sure, message me on Monday

I think you just got played by your agent, there is no need for any lawyer arguing your 5.0 in any band, he just swindled you of $100.
Here on this platform there are people whose applications were processed via Nigeria Student Express (NSE) who got PPR with 5.0 in ielts, be as it may, you can still have your application processed via the normal route by ircc.

Get your money back, if you can. All information to help your are on this platform if you want to help yourself.

All the best getting your money.

Reasons for First Refusal & How I Tackled It
Purpose of visit- My first degree was in Geography & Environmental Management, I applied to Memorial for masters in Employment Relations. As at the time when I first applied in May 2020, I was yet to get my results for my HR professional exams, but I mentioned it in my SOP. Also, I was still working as an executive assistant in my current organization although I was supporting HR department but have not officially moved to HR. During my second application, I added my CIPM certificates, also included an introduction letter from my company which stated that I was now in HR department. My reference letter from my previous boss also highlighted how I have a natural flair for HR and how he recommended my move to HR.
Personal assets & financial status- During my first application, I used both my mutual funds and my bank statement. In my second application, I liquidated my mutual funds and made sure I explained every lump sum with adequate proof. Also added a letter of support from my Dad to increase my POF.
Ties to home country- I used my family as my ties, talked a lot about how close we are and how we support each other. I also used my pension statement and my new role in HR as my tie and talked about how I will like to come back to Nigeria and change a lot of things in my organization and in the country when it comes to employee development and retention.

Hope this helps

Please, I need help so urgently.

I have very limited time to submit my online visa application but all the ATM cards to do the payment are being declined. One of the cards (GTbank) said the reason for the declining is that $235CAD exceeds the limit of $100 web-based transaction daily limit.

@Everyone: Please, help me with suggestions on how to make this online visa application payment.

Thanks,

Hello everyone, I landed Canada about 13 days ago, so about to end my quarantine.

I am in Toronto and would love to be added to a Nigerian WhatsApp group.

Please if you belong to any WhatsApp group for new students/immigrants in Canada, add me.

I am alone here and I need as much support (information) so I don't make mistakes. Please, how did u get ur first semester receipt from centennial college. I ve tried africa@centennialcollege.ca buh no reply.

Thank you.

LadyBlaq:
Hello House!
Please just to be sure, how long does it take for the international team of Centennial College to reply a mail?
I applied to Centennial College without an application fee(I was surprised). After getting my PIN, I got a mail to send some scanned documents which I did. I haven't gotten any acknowledgement from them since then.

Would I get to pay the application fee later?

Even though it has only been 3 working days, I thought an acknowledgement of documents received should have been sent by now, is it the norm?

Does anyone know?

No it's not too early,

Your Uncle don't need to go to the court to swear an Affidavit of Sponsorship. Only you can do the package.

Just go to Notary Public with ur Sponsor's Passport Photograph & Your Own Passport Photograph.

Go with the details of your school in CANADA (School name & Address), also go there with your Uncle's Details (Home Address)

If you are based in Lagos,

Go to IKEJA, @ Oba Akinjobi way, the road leading to Ikeja G.R.A & Ikeja High court.,
u will see some women with Umbrella, (some standing, some sitting down) mentioning the word AFFIDAVIT continuously. Meet one of them

(The place is not far from the Popular Computer Village)

You can also check ijaiye road axis at OGBA, IKEJA , along where WAEC and NUJ (Nigerian Union of Journalism) office are located , u will also see some Women there mentioning the Word "AFFIDAVIT"

Once you get the AFFIDAVIT OF SPONSORSHIP, take it to your uncle, there is portion for him to Sign. that portion is called DEPONENT

Unfortunately that isn't how it works. The reason why IT and STEM courses are 'hotcake' is because it isn't really fancied by a majority of their people. They mostly do business courses and that makes picking you over their own people a much harder task.

That is why they have a critical skills list which highlights those professions that they have a shortfall in. If your profession is on that list, there is a high likely hood that getting employment after studies will be much easier. It is a lot harder if it isn't on the list.

Another thing is many of them have diplomas or certificates and can work with that and there are a lot of them doing that to work. Your chances against an omonile in your field is small oh!

Have you checked if the course is on the critical skills list? Not that you can't study it but you have a greater chance of getting a job after studies if your employment is on the list

Philadelphia:
I see.
The course I applied to didn’t require SOP.

Philadelphia:
What course are you applying for?
