Yeah brother school is in Ontario Toronto and it’s pretty tough out here. Very hard to get a job aswell.


I see some people open there mouth to talk anyhow saying students didn’t come with enough BTa or something, I just laughed. Me and my few friends spend over 1300 dollars each every month . Do the Maths in nigeria money that’s almost N780,000 plus if you use the black market which is what we use . That is some people salary in nigeria for a whole year.

Let me break it down. A room here is from 850cad each month which is even shared toilet and kitchen. Some of my friends are paying a thousand cad each month. You will buy foodstuffs, transportation, phone bill and other things.

Now tell me how much you want to come in with from naija without a job , how long can you last before going broke. People just come online saying bta bla bla bla. Even if you have enough bta to last you a whole year, without working , how do you balance it up. I am repeating myself if you are not from a rich home or you don’t have money to survive here, it’s better you come with a PR so that you can live anywhere. Also note that here is not UK or other part of the world where everyone is doing social work. To even get social work job here you will go to School , if you check centennial college PSW is 17k cad above. Some peope do short courses but at the end of the day it won’t get them license.

Everything here is different, you go to school or get a license for common liquor store job, even to climb long heights you go to school to get license.

Hello guys ... I've got 2 questions.

1. When using the gift deed route ... say you have got your parents to transfer a significant amount of money to you and you also have your gift deed to back it up, would having the statement of your parents still be a necessity ?

2. At what point should one start sending web forms after submission ?

Legitmenaija:
Please i want to ask. Please help with answers 🙏


If someone has a registered business (asides working) but there is not tax records and the person does not pay herself salary, is there any point mentioning it in the SOP at all?

Secondly, in my place of work, our salary is paid cash. Not transfer.
No pay slip (its a small organization).
I hope it won't e a source of concern?

Timeline


Application to Conestoga in November 2022, against Fall intake 2023. Got the LOA in 2 weeks

Program - Occupational health safety and wellness
Duration - 1 year

I have HND in computer science and I presently work as aircraft firefighter (Pana Pana is going to Canada). I could remember coming here to seek for advice on my best bet and @lekibobo, @makano, @justmellow and @omiinii all advised that I stand a better chance going with anything related to my job. Lekibobo specifically mentioned OHSW at Conestoga. That was just all I needed to fire the shot.


I paid for my tuition deposit of 1500 cad same day I got the LOA using Aboki Dollar and tidied all my documents accordingly.

Let me mention that I did not include Police character certificate, land documents or other property documents because I do not have any of those things. It is true that 2 applications cannot be the same, sometimes too much of documents even can get Visa Officers confused. The above listed documents were all I submitted. It is good to read people's TL to be encouraged but some TL will get you intimidated and confused. My application was a self- sponsored. And all I submitted as POF was 10.4m

I am a first time applicant and I have never traveled out of Nigeria before. I never enter plane before self despite the fact that I work at the airport until last month that I went for medical and biometric. Travel history is not a criteria.

The total of my tuition for the 1 year is about 20,000 cad + 10,000 cad living expenses+ 3000 cad miscellaneous.

How I addressed POF.

My salary is around 100k. I knew for sure that it is too little to present as monthly earnings. what I did was to use all the 1.7m I had in 2021 to buy Toyota Corolla. I planned running bolt with it for a good 1 year before submitting my application. I explained that I drive my car on bolt platform on part-time basis anytime am off duty. Each month I make sure i make over 100k net profit from bolt. I submitted 12 months MBS to show that I truly make such money from bolt. I collected a loan of 8m from a co-op society, collected 2m from a friend because I knew the 8m won't be enough to show as POF. I wrote in the LOE that this my friend was a long time friend (classmate) which was true. He had sent money to me (vice versa) severally in 2022. I also showed pictures of us together in 3 different occasions (in school,at my engagement and at a function) and also included his international passport. Someone in Canada even advised that I should not include him that nobody gives anyone such money in Canada, that even parents don't give their children money. But I had no other story to cook because the money had already been sent to my account. I also made sure I paid 1m into my spouse account to augment her salary for her and the children's upkeep so the VO will believe that nobody go press my neck for money in Canada. In my LOE, I also mentioned that while I would be away, there is an arrangement on ground to employ a driver that will drive my car on a FULL TIME basis with weekly remittance of #30,000 to my account and to be managed by my spouse. The weekly 30k + my monthly salary+ other annual benefits from my employer resulted to additional 3m+ (about 10k cad)

How I addressed hometie

Apart from the fact that my family (spouse and children) and job are strong home tie. I became a volunteer with Red cross society of Nigeria just for the purpose of ID card and pictures, and I got that. I also collected a letter from my church. You can buy a pet (🐶, 🐱, 🦁, chicken 🐔) and add it to yours as hometie in your application. Include their vetinary cards and other documents.

Please note, keep your application as simple as possible, no allow NL use TL press your neck. Submit your application as early as possible so you can have peace of mind, and plan your departure well. All the experience I have today was gotten from here because I have been following since 2020. I also handled a friend's application last year. Submitted application Aug 16, 2022 and PPr Dec 26, 2022.... In all one cannot rule out the importance of prayers. I read here where people engage in different and lengthy spiritual practices. I also prayed and fasted for just 3 days and God got involved.

Submit your pending applications now......

I pray that God will come through for as much as many applications this year, especially those ones that that overdue/overstayed for a decision.

I'm available to answer questions hear....if you come to my TL for private engagement or documents, na billing ooooo.... Looking for Raba noww

mrprolifik:
If the co-op is optional, and your letter of acceptance doesn't include a coop work permit letter. Then you most likely applied for the program without the coop.
