PlayPays: First of all, thanks for sharing this.
Secondly, congratulations belive me you've made it!
You were in the right place at the right time.
Somethings were not clear to me; What degree in Nursing u going for?
And how did u handle the situation of keyano policy when embassy asked for tuition??
.... They never asked about the tuition issue... cos they knew Keyano aint dancing to their tune.... now... if he hadnt gone there today.... his enemies would have been happy.... this is why i push for people who havent heard from CDHC a long time to go to the gate.... and with the info @Bullstriker provided... u can see that explains vividly... BONA FIDE Student.... ensure u knw alot about ur program before u approach the gate ooo...

nas-jay:
I applied for study permit on February 26; my application was rejected on two grounds insufficient funds and traveling history

I reapply with significant new information and documents to support my application on May 2, 2013, with a letter from my uncle expressing shock, that I do not have a traveling history very disturbing, traveling history is not in their requirements of student visa application that he visited the high commissions website countless numbers of time, and never saw previous traveling history as a condition or criteria for student visa application, he indicate that he visited their site before writing this letter and could not find a phrase suggesting that such history is required for student visa application.

In the letter my uncle was upset that his finance capacity to sponsor me has been put in Doubt.

He gives me additional document, than I included my account statement and additional document to proof my financial ability,


you need significant new information and documents to support your application that's all
...Nna tx for the info o jare.... my guy @revolt.... u need to revolt go demand ur money back from ur agent....
TravelRe: Travelling To Canada Part 4 by Siga: 5:46pm On Aug 02, 2013
revolt: pplied in April got denied on 1st August! I'm jes gettin to find out on this forum that sponsorship by an uncle is sure denial! I shul hve seen this b4 den. Though my agents warned me I took the gamble , my fear now is if a denial would affect my re application? I dnt wanna collect the tuition refund yet but the prog is for next year Sept if defered, I intend to apply in Jan @least thts wht my agent advised
.... big misinformation.... who told u sponsorship by Uncle is sure denial.... if ur agent told u that.... hin no sabi wetin hin dey talk.... and whoever told u that on this forum needs to read the forum better....

Bro... ur denial based on financial reasons as nothing to do with ur Sponsor been ur Uncle.... u can reapply with same Uncle and ensure u secure an Affidavit of support to back his claims up of sponsoring u.... some of these refusals are mere excuses by VOs... dont let anyone lie to u that Uncle or Sponsor having different last name is sure denial... Na lie.....angry

PlayPays: OMG! :O sir, you doing a great job I must say!

As its late here in 9ja I shld be sleeping but this ish won't let. I was thinking if we the students maybe 3-5 of us could get a conference call thru to the school letting em know how this is a very big issue which might delay or affect the trv. I guess they wouldn't wna lose such number of students but with this kinda reply she said to you its like they don't even really care that much. sad
...All i can say is write them emails... all of una... copy every single member of the board of Governors, Registrar and Admissions office....I am sure someone will bend...but let's wait for @Chigo or find a way to locate any Naija wey dey the school to ask how him/her take do am....cos Melissa told me they have Nigerian students there so, I believe since they get some there...they tot its ok...

TravelRe: Travelling To Canada Part 4 by Siga: 11:37pm On Jul 30, 2013
.... Just got off the phone with Keyano College again.... I decided to call the Presidents Office.... spoke to someone there.... she advised I speak with the Registrar (Massa) again...then Massa will forward the request to them for approval.... well... Massa says no... that students need to walk into their school to pay tuition (exactly her word).... I was shocked and sad... seems these guys are not gonna bend.... and guess wat her last option is.... telling me to advise the students to apply to another school in Ontario and transfer once they get to Canada... I told her, these are students that are already on the final phase of their visas and this tuition payment is holding their visas... and they will have to reapply again if they cant pay.... well... she said SORRY.... I dont think I will advise anyone to apply to this school again... the headache is too much....
TravelRe: Travelling To Canada Part 4 by Siga: 11:24pm On Jul 30, 2013
kjbobo: I dont think they care at all cos today I called the International centre of my school that I was ready to pay my acceptance fee(just$100) and all she said was I cant pay until I am given TRV...Now this is interesting cos I was given over 20k as funding and they are not ready to receive $100
Oga Siga...hope this isnt a growing trend?
... is this the same Keyano College?
TravelRe: Travelling To Canada Part 4 by Siga: 11:21pm On Jul 30, 2013
Onye oma: And I guess it might be very risky to get the school bank account details from a student that paid tuition to the school and drop the money in their account because they can deny that they didn't get any payment from the person.

And the worst aspect of it is that before such policy could be changed, there must a meeting by the Committee in charge which might take some time...and time is running out...
... u cant just dump money in any account....each student get hin own acct.... its always tied to ur Student ID bro.... I tried to convince the lady to talk to her boss for exceptions but no luck....she sef dey confused....

TravelRe: Travelling To Canada Part 4 by Siga: 10:55pm On Jul 30, 2013
PlayPays: Sir Siga, you didn't reply my post and after that I checked again her(Melissa) mail there was an attachement on it a paragraph saying 'You must arrive in Canada and obtain a valid study permit before you can make any tuition' now that got me confused after reading from her the estimate of 1st year plus housing as I requested that I wna make payment of it all on expectancy of trv.
I should contact again to confirm.
... What options did she give you?...
TravelRe: Travelling To Canada Part 4 by Siga: 10:51pm On Jul 30, 2013
Onye oma: An idea came to my mind...
What about writing a "SOLEMN DECLARATION OF COMMITMENT" stating 1)that you're aware of the consequences of not paying tuition fees
2)That you can't do otherwise as its against the policy of ur school
3)That since its in ur school's policy to accept payment after TRV has been issued, you'll pay as soon as you get ur TRV before arriving @ the Canadian POE
4)That in line with the above, the money has been transferred into ur account for tuition fee payment(evidence of transfer of tuition fee into ur account)
5)That you hold this declaration to be true to the best of your knowledge in accordance to the oath act 1990
Then go to a notary public and notarize it...
NB: Also attach the mail from the school stating what you wrote on the affidavit (they don't accept tuition fee payment before issuance of TRV)
We can work out something based on the above write-up to arrive @ an acceptable solution.

I remain loyal...
... this may work but not for certain.... it seems u havent seen the email from CDHC after the guy sent them what the school says CDHC told him... no payment forget the app...so, I dont know if they are willing to bend my guy... na the school suppose bend cos at the end of the day...na dem go collect tuition..
TravelRe: Travelling To Canada Part 4 by Siga: 10:25pm On Jul 30, 2013
Onye oma: Oga Siga, thank you very much for ur selfless efforts in helping us in our respective efforts and struggles for the purpose of travelling to Canada.

What I deduce from the most recent development @ CDHC concerning payment of tuition esp to Keyano College is that some students (maybe Nigerians) might have abused that privilege in the past and they wish to use this measure to check them.

For the school to have sent them mail concerning their policy and they still went ahead to pressure the applicant to pay his tuition fee, something must have happened that prompted to such action...

Though I believe that there must always be a way out...
.... I even went as far as to allow students put money into their respective student accounts wihout paying.... she say no... I know she has no power to change any policy but the Governing body... but at least there are ways around things like this to help students.... told her they will be loosing alot of students with this policy ....
TravelRe: Travelling To Canada Part 4 by Siga: 10:21pm On Jul 30, 2013
PlayPays: That must be Merrigan same officer I spoke to and she gave me options for payment. I posted some advice earlier so peeps of schools with such policy can try it and there's a guy that embassy threatened that they will close his app if he doesn't find a way to make tuition even after the school mailed em of their policy, I guess the guy has been able to figure out what to do but he hasn't been back since his last post, I'm sure aint d only one waiting to read from him as his solution will help others.
...unfortunately...he hasnt... the guy has been running up and down and he has till 2nd week in August before CDHC closes his app....that was why I called and spoke with a lady Melissa .... and she acknowledged getting a mail from the guy and cant help...
TravelRe: Travelling To Canada Part 4 by Siga: 9:28pm On Jul 30, 2013
.... To all prospective Keyano College students...I just had a phone call with one of the Admissions Officer (Melissa)...she advised they are not changing their policy as per paying before visa ....so, I challenged her that are they willing to loose students for this policy.....which she says Yes, there is nothing they can do... that students can look for another school to secure visas and transfer over to them.... she even said there are students from Nigeria that got their visas without paying...so... I dont know wat to advise now as CDHC has been giveing few guys wahala to pay now ooo.... I guess they realised alot of students are heading to that school and they want to stand by their visa policy for una to pay ooo....Melissa even told me they dont have a large International student presence in school thats why they dont have an International office and never knew how to deal with issues CDHC is asking oooo
