Good day Gurus in the house, please I need your advice.

I recently secured admission to study in Canada and about to commence my study permit application. I intend using my younger brother as my sponsor, he is a nurse in UK with a skill worker visa. He operates UK and Nigeria bank accounts. Now my question is:
1. Can I use both accounts for my application considering the fact that he has more money in the UK account than Nigerian account?

2. Since he is my younger brother, can that factor affect my application?

Thanks as I await responses

Anon123:
Good day all...

I want to get you guys opinion on this for a friend...

My friend is a sales supervisor for a company and manages a particular state. Asides his job, he is in a private partnership with a client, in which the customers of this client pays in money (mostly in millions) into my friend's account at different occasions and from there takes his cut from that amount.

He wishes to use this account for his study permit application. He said he will include a service agreement with some of these customers to justify the lump sums. He asked me, i said yes it can work but in the other way round, the visa officer will feel my friend is using customers money to pursue his canada japa plans. S[b]o, i advised him since he has a salary account, why dont he transfer 10m from that account to the salary account and his wife transfers 10m from her account to the same salary account and attach a GIFT DEED.[/b]

My questions are
1) Is his plan of using the account that receives money from customer a good idea?
2) Is my suggestion as per the bolded okay?
3) If item 1 and 2 aint okay, what recommendation do you guys recommend he employs.

Thank you.

oluwjuwonlo:
Thank you for your response, but I mean this person is my blood brother, but our family name is spelled as " folorunsho" but some of my brother's documents which I have with me I notice the family name been spelled as "folorunso", so am asking if the V.O officer will not see that as inconsistency in the family name?

oluwjuwonlo:
I have a question please, some of my sponsor documents carry for example "folorunsho and folorunso" please hope it will not be an issue since I also beer the same surname as folorunsho, or I should go ahead with an affidavit to prove it the same. Please I need clarity on this please.

Thank you.

oluwjuwonlo:
Please must affidavit be from a high court or magistrate court, or whatever court, please help out with this question

Fardowsa:
hi thanks, which website do you recommend to order gcms notes then?

Fardowsa:
thank you all for your compassion
I got my admission in January, we made the first tuition deposit in February, took about 2 months to gather documents for the visa process.
I submitted my application on May 14, 2022.
Biometrics was done 23 May, 2022, updated same day.
I had an upfront medical exam on 16 April 2022
Medicals was updated on 16 May 2022

I got my refusal letter, 17 June 2022. Reason: insufficient financial funds for me and accompanying family member (my mom)

I might apply again, so i thought to use the GIC as proof of funds with CIBC. Is this advisable? Does anyone know how the process works?

i feel i still have time to apply and also get my visa before school resumption in the fall.

Thank you

Lezy:
Please guru, Your purpose of visit to Canada is not consistent....What does this means? And how to handle it? Please, help!!!

Thanks

dbeautyful:
Please, isn't it 1 year living expense?!
Or is it different for self-sponsored applicants?
... Asking kindly.

Silversurfer1:
Hi guys.
I hope everyone is okay?
I apologise in advance if this question has been asked and answered.
Can a student who studies for a Diploma in Canada apply for the graduate student stream for provincial nomination in any of the provinces?
I checked Ontario but their graduate student stream is meant for Masters and PhD students. Can one still apply for that or are diploma students disqualified?
Plus are there any provinces that accept Diplomas for their graduate student stream?
Thanks

So guys, here is my timeline.

This journey started in 2020 when I applied to University of New Brunswick, but I wasn't admitted. I wasn't really serious about it then because business was going on fine, that's why I applied to UNB alone.

Around April 2021, when dollar issues hit our business so hard, I lost a lot of money and it started to look like the journey will never be possible again. I discuss with my siblings and we knew it's time to make move and leave this country, because exchange rate means a lot in our Importation business. I decided to prioritize this Canada journey and started making a lot of research and reading on nairaland.

First of all, I decided to apply to schools supported by Mpower, because 7 figures monthly income has dropped by almost 60%. I contacted many potential supervisors and one from University of Victoria fixed a date for interview. She accepted to be my supervisor and I applied around October 2021. I also applied to University of Manitoba. By February 2022, when I didn't hear from Uvic and Manitoba I quickly applied to Fanshawe, Conestoga and NSCC.

March 2022, admissions started rolling in:
University of Victoria - Accepted
University of Manitoba - Rejected
Fanshawe College - Accepted
Conestoga College - Accepted
NSCC - Accepted

I opted for University of Victoria because I have a supervisor, no tuition deposit required and it is a Master's Program. I didn't submit my visa application for about 2 months because I was waiting for funding letter. During this period, I started gathering documents and writing my SOP. When everything was set I contacted Makano to review my SOP. He gave me a thumbs up, but emphasize on writing it as formal letter and did some editing, removing the sub-headings, turning it into paragraphs. I respect him so much for being calm. He sent voice notes to me to explain why he did some things and assured me it's the best. "I have been doing it like that and I've been getting positive results with my clients". That was actually his words. Thank you Makano, I respect you Bro

Hello New portal Guru in the house.

Congrats to Amidelight.

It will all end in praise.

Please I submitted my application since 17th of may 2022 a month old by tomorrow but my upfront medical has been updated. I am worried and need your advice.

Thanks.

Show Young: The secret is to disturb them. Make unpleasant comments on social media especially on Twitter about their service and how they are about to jeopardize your future ambition as there is a deadline for the payment: after unrelenting tries, they'll reach out to you either through phone call or by DM: they must answer.

Amidst "no FX from the CBN," they are still disbursing to some few who can disturb or have a kind of influence.

Samtob4life:

Hello gurus in the house

A friend of mine studied biochemistry and she graduated in 2018.

However, she is a make-up artist and she has been working as a make-up artist since she graduated university. Her make up business is also registered and she makes good income.

She wants to go for a post graduate course that relates to her make up business. Will the visa officer see the PG course related to make-up as a career progression?
If so, Please what schools can she apply to in Canada for a make-up/cosmetics related courses.

Thanks.

Lekiboboe:
Hi

I think your friend will be good to go for a Business Management program.

He possible focus (Future Goals/Career Prospects) on her SOP should be centered around her makeup business expansion in her home country.

See the link below for

Business Management PG. Cert programs and Colleges offering it

https://www.nairaland.com/6957495/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/230#111060488

She can Google for more Business Management PG Programs at Canadian Colleges

Since your friend will be going for a Program (Business Management) not related to her degree (Biochemistry), but related to her work experience (makeup business), she should go through the contents in the link below

MOwasola58:
Good afternoon house . I graduated with a degree in physiology last year November( grade 2.2) , currently serving . I plan to apply to some college in the Canada to study practical Nursing . I hope this decision of mine is not a red flag since I already have a bsc and now going for a diploma in practical nursing . I need advice from the house please

Ketima:
Now I want to give a little advise to us all. Do that which you believe will work for you. Many of you here knows me well but note it that no one knows it all. We all learn from each other.

Today I got my wife's SOWP, just 3 months after submission even though I'm still in Nigeria. Sometimes we get adviced based on others peoples situations or event, but truth be told, things changes with time. When I got my study visa, family application refusals were high, hence we tend to advice to apply alone, then apply for spouse and kids(if any) when you arrive in Canada. In the past few weeks, we have noticed that family applications are recieving approval, those applying for diploma even when they already have Bsc are getting approval, those applying for PGD even after Masters are getting approvals.

So, What that matters is let your application be top notch. Avoid any loophole. Be your own VO. Review your application yourself and leave the rest to God's grace.

So, I advice henceforth, if you're a family, apply together, worst scenario, it will be rejected and you people can refire again. If you're applying for a degree lower than what you already had, ensure that your prove beyond doubt why you're going for such course. Nothing is impossible in this Canada journey.

For SOWP, then we were advised to wait till you get to Canada before applying. But with the recent delays in SOWP application, applicants are waiting 8 months + before getting decisions. So if you applied alone and got approval, you may as well work toward submitting your spouse (family) application because you never can tell, it may even get approved before you leave so that both can leave together.

And again for those not coming forth to encourage others with there timeline, is not that you're compelled to do it or people beg or attack you, is just to help the newbies learn vital document's to submit as not all will have time to read from the beginning. I personally have 3 people I helped applied for and got approval this month and I told them to come share their testimony here to encourage others and they promised but still hasn't. But It was still from sharing of timeline that they came to me to help them in their applications. So please let's do well to help each other because this journey has no end until we all become citizens. At any stage, you will need help and this nairaland forum is top notch for such.

For my wife SOWP, I will still share it here for others to learn and as well in the SOWP forum.

We're all doing well and God will bless us all.

Lianna2020 you motivated me to apply for her early and I'm grateful I did.

chytai:
I have 3 years academic records from a university here in Nigeria, no degree Certificate because I didn't finish. Can I use it to get admission in to any of the colleges in Canada? I also have 6 years experience working as customer service representative in a private company.

@showyoung @lekibiboe

Samlolly28:
Thanks bro. I will surely do that and post the gcms notes here when they arrive. I don't know why but I am very positive when I tackle the refusal reason I will be granted PPR speedily.
