Hello house. Please I’m in a dilemma.

I got admitted for the Masters in Medical Biotechnology program at University of Windsor, for Fall 2020. Because the admission came in late, I decided to defer until Fall 2021 (so I can gather the right documents for my SP application). Here’s my profile:

21 years old.
Just completed Nysc.
Bsc in Cell Biology and Genetics (2’1).
No travel history (never applied for or been denied a visa either).
Currently Working as a Medical Laboratory Assistant.
I plan on taking a few online courses in Biotechnology before December/January when I submit my study permit application.
Total Tuition for the 2year program is CAD 28,350... Other fees for the 2 years sums up to CAD 6,200. when I divided this, my cost of attendance for a year is around 17,000, plus the 10,000 living expenses = 27,000 (Approximately 8million naira).
I’m trying to build up my sponsors bank statement from now but here’s my challenge:

My mother is my main sponsor. She’s a civil servant, has a bank statement of about 9 or 10m naira, 3 buildings in Lagos, and a store. But her current balance would only be sufficient for 1 year of study. Would it be ok to use just her as my sponsor? Can I list the worth of the properties alongside her bank statement, and say that she plans on selling one of them?
I have 2 siblings but they’re not heavily dependent on her (one had a masters degree already and is working and one is still in secondary school).

Just Incase, Her friend agreed to be my Co sponsor. But we are not related in any way. Different surname too. But he has a bank statement of almost 20m. Would it have any effect if I list him as my Godfather? Would I have to show any proof ? Or just a sponsorship letter from him would do?

Adding the birth certificate of every member of your family isn’t necessary. They aren’t the ones traveling.

Hi Rollyxxmv,

Please I am about to submit my application online and the questionnaire that I filled didn't provide "Completed Document Checklist for Study Permit"

Please, is this compulsory? or it is based on the provided documents checklist of each candidate profile?

Thanks for your response in advance.

Phatkayconcept:
That young man was always here throughout the process of submission. But since the day he dropped the good news update, he hasn't make a single comment till date. Even if he won't uplaod a screenshot, he could at least lift the moral of the group with a comprehensive testimony.

We go all dey alright sha

Chalva:
Finally, Bvl/Passport Request. Fourth Application. Glory be to God. My special thanks goes to Frankrobn1, Naijaforeigner and other gurus in the house whose contributions and encouragement helped me to achieve this feat after the unfair decision I received from IRCC on my third application. This forum gave me all that i needed, no third party involvement in my recent applications..CELEBRATION MOOD

Meek127:
@ just mellow...I appreciate the second point you made based on profession

@sterling
Luckymama has said most of the good stuff lol
The only tricky part is the family ties(home ties).. since you got a job now, that should help a lot. Just construct the SOP in a good way that shows relationship between your previous degree, your present job and what you intend studying.
You just started the job,i hope Zenith will let you take a leave at this point.. anyways get the necessary doc from the bank to support home ties.

Please and please,whatever you state in your SOP,make sure you have evidence for it
You should have included that *voluntary work* you did...it helps... just try get evidence

your hubby has 6mil for sponsorship, your living expense and all is closely around 7mil. Only option is to liquidate that asset.

How many years is your intended course btw?

P.S...Funds won't be enough for you and your sis

Yads97:
Hey guys.
I feel you guys should take a look at the advisory pdf document on the CIC website concerning study permit applications. Their are a few things there that may help.

Lekiboboe:
Yes I feel they don't...

On a Lighter note
"Hope ZOOM no dey zap DATA Shaa.. "

Na to go find one Mast hang a GLO MODEM (GLO SIM) make the speed dey run like BERRY ALLEN"

It will always end in PRAISE

dommakavelli:
Nice! I hope it works this time.

jpepper:
Hello everyone,

Please I have a quick question; are we required to submit the additional forms that are in the Visa office instructions document?

They just seem like a repetition of the the information that i already provided in the actual CIC forms (the family information and application for study permit forms), the visa office instruction document also has a document checklist, are we meant to submit it because there is a checklist document from CIC as well.

They are asking for family information all over again in the visa office form, employment history etc, not sure why this is necessary because I already completed the cic forms providing the same info.

Thanks

librangyps:
Got this off ircc website.

Please check official fee schedule and birth certificates.

I was asked if I have taken any standardized English language test before, I ticked yes and my toefl score report is the evidence.

I hope my GMAT score report also helps to push the point that I merited the admission for mba.

Pee2Jay9:
Pls share the mistakes you agreed to have made.
It will advise us too.. Thanks alot for even sharing

Tstunt:
A link would have sufficed.

Frankrobbn1:
It's confirm today from IRCC news! Fall 2020 courses will be conducted Onine due to the COVID-19 and it doesn't have any negative impact when applying for your PGWP. Automatically, you shouldn't think of travelling to Canada until after the fall 2020. Students can begin programs online from outside of Canada and complete up to 50% of their program outside Canada.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC has disrupted so many plans and activities. However, keep the faith and hope for the best.

It will end in praise.

Chukwuemeka101:
Really ?

I got admission in university of Regina to study System Engineering at undergraduate level..

I applied for visa on February 15, 2020 ,

I was refused on April 7, 2020



But am not quitting, I can't waste all these time and money then quit, never..
Quitting is never in my dictionary..


So,

I Reapplied again yesterday....


My own point of view.

Let it be true that I have high chances of visa approval ..

Frankrobbn1:
I regret to hear your study visa was rejected. Please put yourself together as this is just a stepping stone to your next Visa approval.

I have taken my time to carefully scrutinised your profile and the list of supporting documents you had submitted in the last application. I can deduce that there is no logical progressive step between your academic plan and career background. What have you been up and doing for the past 8 years? Have you attained any professional certifications in your field even though you don't have a degree yet?, why do you think that when granted the privilege to study in Canada, you will perform well in classroom assignments and projects? Given that you've vast study gaps. These are crucial points that needs to be properly explained to the visa officer's comprehension in your next visa SOP.

In light of this, I would advise that you apply for an undergraduate program preferably a bachelor's degree in an IT related discipline.

While preparing for a subsequent re-application, I would suggest that you should apply for an admission at University of Regina or University of Saskatchewan. This would increase your chances of approval.

Finally, always seek counsel from knowledgeable folks on this thread. Cheer up, I see you getting your visa the next time.


It will end in praise.

BVL 29TH APRIL, REFUSAL 12TH MAY.

These people are crazy.

Kaycevit:
I am beginning to believe that IRCC doesn't read most SOP of most Applicants from Nigeria at the moment..some denial reasons are not worth having by most Nigeria Applicants may be that was the instructions given to them by their OGA AT THE TOP

Electroweb:
Refusal letter dropped today. Lol!
Reasons: family ties, employment status, personal assets and financial status.

segzyndpep:
He don happen,
Refusal letter just drop.

nicerichard05:
When did ur BVL drop and wen did ur denial also dropped

Luckymama:
Thanks. Was half expecting it when I got BVL. Just didn’t want to jump to conclusions. At least the positive part is that they seem to be attending to application faster. Mine was exactly 1 month.

Rollyxxmv:
Hello Mr Frankrobbn1 and other gurus in the house.Forgive me if you're not mentioned.


I applied first in Jan and got denied in Feb. Refusal Details being: "current employment situation and family ties in home country and in Canada"

Here's my profile:

I've been working since 2016 as an ict staff at an energy company, learning software dev. And volunteering at a local book club
SOA= 11,200usd + 13M =about 62KCaD or so, sponsor is mum, 2yr fees + living expenses= about 40KCAD and is way less than the total of what i presented so money shouldn't be an issue.
I gained adms at NBCC for a 2yr diploma in network administration for Fall 2020,
I had my sponsor write a letter too including my SOP , waec, family properties including a land Doc in my name, mum's last designation and salary increase.

I reapplied on 4th of march with all info above and added
Proof of family ties which include: Dad and mum's employment proof, my birth certificate and that of entire family,each member of family's local govt of origin cert
I also added proof of employment which include : Employment letter, confirmation letter, ID, Leave approval for duration of study from my employer and also indicated that i hv been denied bfr above.

Today, i got denied for the second time and I'm sad and demoralised.

Reasons being:
travel history
Family ties in canada and home country
Current employment situation
Personal assests and status
Purpose of visit

Man y'all help me please
And also how do i get the gcsms notes
