AS A FIRST TIME APPLICANT, AM I TO WRITE LETTER OF EXPLANATION OR STATEMENT OF PURPOSE?

EverGrateful:
Hello House,

Kindly assist with your opinion on this issue. I am actually asking for my sister. She has a BSc (2010) & MSc (2015) in Food Tech but works with a govt body that conducts elections in Nigeria. She plans to go for an MSc in a specialized aspect of food science in Canada. She has had no work experience in her field of study except for 6months IT but she is very interested in this FOOD area. Please what can be the justification in her SOP/LOE to VO for her plan to study in Canada.

Guru's in the house please respond- Frankrobbn1, Justmellow, Lekiboboe and other gurus in the house. Make una help a sister ooo.

Also, can I still add the receipt of part payment of sch fees that I made, to beef up my POF or leave it out.

elizyous:
Yes, the balance is still in tact but half of it is in stanbic mutual funds, do I print that statement like that and add to it to complete d 30k CAD?

Also, I was asking if this is a good sign seeing that I applied since Feb 4th with all NSE docs initially?

I await your response pls.
print every statement needed.
It a sign that ur application is been assessed and the office wants to see the statements again.
it will end in praises

maestro09:
Please anyone, it’s quite urgent

elizyous:
Good morning all,

I woke up to these guys asking for my bankstatement again. I had attached it alongside my IELTS result when I was applying initially.

Biko, is this a good sign or na just now them begin process my application?

Secondly, my hubby who is my co-sponsor lost his job in January. How do I address this? Should I still attach his my bankstatement and maybe a letter of explanation as no inflow has entered his acct since Feb or shld I just send everything like that?

Gurus in the house, please answer me urgently abeg.

Hello Skull4eva,

If you are applying for your spouse's SOWP from within Canada under the right NOC, POF isn't necessarily a major requirement but, there is still the need to demonstrate that your spouse can take responsibility for any incurred expenses, or can as well be demonstrated by you.

Since the funds is already in your account, you can leave it be. You can include your BS, spouse's BS, payslips, and other employment/financial documentation, etc.

Best of Luck

Frankrobbn1:
From the wisdom of my vast experiences with several SOWP applications. I would prefer you land in Canada and file for your wife and kids to accompanying you. This will ensure that you've provided the necessary documents as per the IRCC checklist for every SOWP. You will be required to submit a copy of your study permit, SIN and proof of accommodation for this type of application. The regular study visa you've with you, is not sufficient for this purpose. If you had your way, it's better the proof of funds be shown in your wife's bank statement since she is the accompanying dependant in this application. You can also include the funding you've from Canada and the 6M to strengthen the application.


I hope this information satisfies your inquiry.


It will end in praise

How true because on the link, there were contractions

Teenie19:
Hello House, I have a question,

How does MBS work? Do Visa Officers have access to "actual" bank balance anytime they log in? Or they only see what you submitted....thank you

Hello everyone, please I need your opinion. I submitted my study visa application on 12 January,with Biometrics. I applied from Oman, my visa office is Ahbu Dhabi. I don't need to do medical.
MY got BVL on 12th March and since then no update. This is my third application. The other two refusals came a day after BVL. What do you people suggest I do? Who has been in this situation before. Please help

awys:
If your travelling isn't around the corner why not open a dormicilliary account and follow up with the bank to do it fast cuz it seems opening a dormicilliary account here is war ooo cuz you have to look for someone that has current account to reference you and if the person banks with your bank it makes it faster was on this process for one month+ cuz of looking for Reference and following up for them to confirm the References I just collected my card and finalized the process yesterday then when you get the card you will have to FUND the card with USD cuz it's in form of a credit card which has a separate account number from your Dormicilliary account which would enable you to pay with it. But if there's no time you can try flutter Wave I guess it should work not sure!!!

kelvine95:
Awesome! Sorry for being judgemental. I pray every issue money can and cannot solve, that you are facing now, God will solve them in his infinite power. Canada will favour you sir!

kelvine95:
It is sad that you are justifying this act with these reasons. I think one issue we should solve collectively as a people is that of honesty and integrity. If you know that you don't wanna do PhD, shoot for your interest from the beginning. Don't selfishly choose PhD just for the visa and funding, and later spoil a Professor's plan. It is selfish, and too typical of Nigerians, especially those in politics. We never care about others, always look at it from our so called "disadvantaged" position, and polish it with emotional blackmail!

Yk45:
@skulleva check your email bros.

Heroulo:
Honestly, this is cheating. Why will you go for a phD, collect the funding and then terminate after a year and say its masters you want to do. This way, you have just wasted your supervisors time. This particular reason (people applying for phD, collecting funding and rounding up as masters) is now on the watch in the US schools. Later now when they start refusing phD candidates from Nigeria, someone will shout Buhari. Its better you make your decision known before starting.

Ayokaq:
I will advise you get to Canada first before changing program. I have a friend that already started PHD for like a year and later change to Master and her funding was not revoked though she was fully funded

kelvine95:
1. Speak to the graduate coordinator of your program.
2. McGill is not a very small school that will take this stuff lightly if you don't come with your 'A game'. You could lose your student status, and I will probably advice you to get an alternative while in Canada before submitting for a change of program.
3. Except of course you took a loan of over 50 million naira, I am sure you would be able to pay back while doing your PhD. You can get more Fellowships(and other source of funds) and side jobs.

I will strongly advice against your decision to switch to masters. It might be seen as misleading, and I think this issue started happening in the US some years ago, where Nigerians get masters and don't continue with PhD even though that was their arrangement with their advisors. Getting students to hire is not easy, and if you do what you plan to do, just know that your advisor might never take another Nigerian again. Please, we must learn to put Nigeria's image in consideration when making decision abroad.

Best of lucks!

Hello Skull4eva,

There is no issue here, let the anxiety go. When traveling, keep both LOA (new and old) in a place easily accessible. When ask at the POE for it; show them, if not, lock up.

Within Canada, even if you drop down to a Dipoma from a PhD, you will still get PGWP to press for the road. For as long as you spend the money and did not take an unscheduled break in-between your study, you should be very fine.

Best of Luck

skull4eva:
