Good morning gurus in house, please I'm using my cousin as my sponsor but he is in US.. please can I make a affidavit of sponsorship for him her....

You can make an affidavit. In the event that you are not able to do this, use a lawyer that knows both of you.

Anthony6098:
Please I just got admission to Niagara college.i need who I have through the process of study permit and is it compulsory to make part payment of the school fees before getting visa.

Yes, this would mean you have honoured the terms and conditions of your admission.

Pgirl08:
Pls I need your help pls advice me I got admission in the 2 schools I donno the one to choose
Connestoga college ( strategic marketing communication and Douglas college (Digital Marketing with Co-op) pls which should I go for?

You did not provide information relating to the levels of proposed programs (Diploma, AdvDip, Bachelor degree) and durations. Also, you did not provide your qualification, grade and field of study.

In the absence of the necessary information, I think the cause with a Co-Op component is good.

Qre1:
Post graduate diploma is 1 year tuition 24k loan approved 30k

Total tuition fee $24,000.
Living expenses $10,000.
Miscellaneous expenses $3000+
TOTAL: $37,000.

With $30,000 secured loan, you need at least $7,000 more.

Good evening everyone please going to the Canadian embassy in Kenya is there any document I need or just to go there and inquire
Cc Ketima , showyoung and other experienced Guru

May I ask why you are going?

Jhules:
Good afternoon everyone,
Please i applied to the University of Regina since first week in may for January 2023 intake and i haven't heard anything yet from them, should be worried or what?
I am just confused,
I need advice.

I think you should send email to them. They are in the best position to give you a satisfactory answer.

Meanwhile, May is not too far.

Alternatively, you can seek admission in another school as a backup.

Good morning gurus in the house, I must commend you guys for the great work you guys are doing. Something have been giving me sleepless night,I want to summit my study visa application. But my concern here is that ,i have had earlier been denied U.k visiting visa around February this year,based on financial purposes and some documents i submitted are contradicting from the one I am about to summit with candian student permit. Please my question here as follows;
One .should I mention to the VO about my U.k refusal or should I just not talk about it? Two. Can the VO / Canadian embassy get a hold of all the documents I submitted to the U.k embassy or should it be only the result of the refusal they will see?

You should be as truthful as possible. Although Canada, the UK, the US, New Zealand and Australia share immigration information, the visa decision of one country does not affect the other.

For example, because you were once denied visa to the UK for whatever reason does not affect Canada's decision. Canada will decide for themselves.

Hello gurus, kindly help!. I intend applying for winter 2023, I studied Accountancy Bsc, graduated since 2013 with 2.2. I have been working on and off. Right now I own a business which I have managed for over 4years. Can someone suggest a good school for me in a city with job opportunities? Thank you.

You should secure an admission in a PGD program because your 2:2 will make it difficult to secure master's admission.

Suitable programs to go for are:

These courses will assist prove career progression. Also, they are related to your discipline.

Herlymah1295:
Thanks @ShowYoung. Total tuition fee is $36,000 but I’ve paid a tuition deposit of $2,500. It’s a diploma, 2 year program and I am going alone.

And my sponsor resides in Canada. What are the documents I will be needing from her please.
Thanks

You need to show the following:
1. Tuition fee $36,000 (2 years).
2. Living expenses $20,000 (2 years).
3. Miscellaneous expenses $3000+
TOTAL: $59,000. (#19,765,000 @$1/335)

If this amount of money is not in your account and you have just only one-year expenses with you, the onus is on you to prove beyond reasonable doubts to convince the VO that the funds for the second year will be available and will be provided by your sponsor by either showing investments, business with good cashflow or something more. Apart from this, you must also prove that the sponsor has no responsibility on anyone else and that the funds is solely meant for your study.

In order to avoid these provings and explanations, it is better if the total fund is available.

phrecy:
living expenses for three years would be 30K cad but a year tuition is 18k cad....but tuition fee are not fixed as they can increase anytime so how do i go about the tuition fee for the three years program

If it's not quoted anywhere, use the first year's as a projection to others.

Samxx:
Thanks a lot for your reply , is it better I get a course that tally with my previous degree or with my business, which do you think the vo will see as a reasonable progression .

Due to the study gap bridged by work experience, you should go with the one related to your work experience.

Your work experience overrides your academic qualifications. This will be seen as career progression.

phrecy:
for someone going for a 3 years course do you need to have the total living expenses and total tuition fee in your bank statement or just for one year is enough�

You must be able to show the total funds needed for the three years. If you cannot show all, you have a lot of proving to do to show to the VO that you have working source of income to finance the second and third year after showing the first year fund.

Because this is difficult to prove, this is why people stick to showing all the funds for the three years.

Samxx:
guys please I have a few questions , Firstly can Medicals be done in another country and attached to an application when applying from Nigeria , Also please if anyone has idea of courses in PGD someone with a third class degree in Insurance and Actuarial science can go for, I just graduated and I am waiting on ASUU for transcripts and Certificate , but I have been running a transport and tourism business since 2019 , registered and all and the Business is doing well and I have been using that to sponsor myself from Uni, please I would appreciate all input and insights.Thanks

Good evening everyone. Please I am new here. I plan on using my maternal aunty as my sponsor and she resides in Canada, same city as the school I applied to. I hope there is nothing wrong with this. And also, I want to ask how much is needed to be in her account for her to be my sponsor and also what documents do I need from her to support my application. Thanks

Nothing is wrong in your maternal aunt sponsoring you.

Concerning the cost of your study, if you provide more information about your study plan such as total tuition fee, program duration and total number of people accompanying you to Canada, I may be able to give you an approximate value for your cost of study in Canada.

Qre1:

Please provide information relating to your study such as total tuition fee, duration and your total budget

Enitan1998:
have a registered business job,i have been running the business for couple years tho,but I just opened a bank for my business, my cousin own a mining registered business,he will be the to help me with the POF is it possible I used his company bank statement or she should transfer the money into my company account and I do transfer the money into my personal account
Please I need an answer ��

I think if you have just opened a corporate account with no history, it's better you leave it out and use your personal account.

For home tie, it is normal to use personal account to run one's business, all you need to do is to explain, in the absence of evidence of financial/bank history, get letters of reference from your customers or clients, and if you can show tax documents dated back to many years ago, get it: and provide many more evidence to show that your business has been existing for many years.

@ Lekiboboe @ Teemenzo
@ ShowYoung
@ justmellow @ makano @ Ketima @ anon123 Abeg make una help me.


I graduated from a university in Sweden. Here bachelor degree is three years with total 180ECT, studied international relations and I finished with 3.7GP on a 5.0 scale.

Currently, I begin my research on universities in Canada for my masters program as am targeting May 2023 intake. I noticed that most schools requires four years bachelors while I did only 3yrs.

Have emailed some schools and they insisted on four years bachelors before I will be even eligible to apply for masters admission.


Am now considering going for 2yrs for PGD studies.

So my questions goes like this

For someone that did bachelors already. graduated with 2.1 ( upper credit)

Will the Visa officer see this PGD as being progressive or red flag?

Please family, any of your input will be highly appreciated.

I think I should first of all differentiate between PGD and Master's.

PGD is geared towards practical and entrance to a field while master's is theoretical or research based. Sometimes but not all times, some PGD are equated as master's equivalent.

No VO will decide for you on which one to go for in as much as you have a lower qualification (Bachelor, HND, Diploma etc) irrespective of your grade or class.

This is why you see people who already possess a master's degree go for a PGD. Not everyone wants theoretical or research knowledge.

Concerning your scenario, some universities would accept your three-year bachelor degree for master's if accompanied by years of relevant work experience or you are ready to take some remedial courses. We have heard here about someone who secured an admission into Masters with HND. Nothing is impossible.

Be free to pursue PGD even if your bachelor degree is first class. PGD and master's are both post graduate studies.

Cherishpearl:
Good morning…I graduated in 2016….and been working with financial institution for close to three years

My advise for you is focus on your career progression. You work experience overrides your academic qualifications.

I think you should go for a PGD in Banking, Finance or Financial Services etc.

superdoll:
Thanks for responding. I guess I confused you a bit. My question is the sponsorship letter can be used without any of the above. Just a signed letter by my spouse.

No, you didn't confuse me, but trying to put words which I didn't say in my mouth, hence, the further explanation.

No, you should include an affidavit.

superdoll:
Hello, please does it mean if one’s spouse writes a letter of sponsorship. Affidavit of sponsorship and notarizing isn’t necessary. The signed letter alone is enough.

The person mentioned a "letter" and not an "affidavit". I have also edited my answer so as to include an answer to your question.

Normally, an affidavit will accompany a letter.

For you to call a document an affidavit, it means their is an oath notarized by either a commissioner for oaths or notary public.

Commissioner for oaths are also notary public who notarizes an affidavit or declaration.

Omnisavage:
Well done boss,
in this place "If you see that 1 year PGWP is not going to be enough for you to qualify for PR, ensure you enroll in another one-year course immediately after the first one", I have a question. How can I tell if the one year will not be enough immediately after I finished that 1 year course?

Before I answer your question, let me start by informing you why 1 year study is risky but not impossible to get PR.

After your study, you'll get 1 year PGWP if you graduate in a one-year program. To qualify for CEC— one of the Canadian pathways to get PR— which will open the door into receiving an ITA, you must work for 12 calendar months in a job with skill level A, B or C..

If you do not get a job immediately after graduation with a one-year PGWP, there's no way to complete 12 calendar months, hence CEC pathway can't be utilised, although there are other ways.

Ways to know;
1. Job prospects.
2. During co-op, you'll know your chances of getting retained.

Meanwhile, to be safe, you must have secured an admission in advance irrespective of whether or not you will use it. You have up to 90 days to apply for PGWP, during this time, you can make decision.

Better still, close your eyes and enroll in another one-year course immediately after the current one.

bbwollex:
Pls regarding your answer to this question, is it necessary to notarize the sponsorship letter?

Normally, a letter of sponsorship will be accompanied by an affidavit.

Affidavit has been notarized for you to call it an affidavit, hence, no need for notarizing letter of sponsorship separate from affidavit.

The court will stamp both documents when notarizing the affidavit.

Enitan1998:
Hello everyone, please I’m willing to apply for an undergraduate in any college in Canada for 2023 program , I have up to 3m only in my account and my cousin will be the one to help me with the POF, am I good to go and can I start applying now

Yes, you're good to go. You should look for admission first.

Cherishpearl:
Good evening house…please I need help and a guardian…I have HND in microbiology (as option in science lab tech)..I would like to apply for pre masters in any good university.The truth is i dnt know how to go about it…please someone be kind enough to put me through…..I await response ..Thanks

The first thing to do is surf the internet for answers to whatever question you are requesting for or read from part 1 of this thread; by the time you get here, you'll have been loaded with information.

Meanwhile, I will ask you some questions so as to give you more information.

1. When did you graduate?
2. What job have you been working in?

Merciful96:
Hello,

I was denied study permit recently due to financial situation ( according to GCMS note). The company where I work intend to sponsor me for my reapplication,I want to ask if that good enough, if yes what documents are expected from the company?

If the company wishes to sponsor you, tell them to release the fund to you by disbursing into your account and backing it up with a letter of sponsorship.

Ghazali34:
Will the process be easy to enroll for another one year course in same college once done with the previous 1 year?

It doesn't necessarily have to be in the same school.

If you can get admission while in Nigeria, what makes you think it will be difficult over there?

Everything depends on proper planning. If you can afford a two year program, it's the best.
