Thank you so much @bobomaigida. Your response will go a long way in helping me.

Bobomaigida:
The main consideration will be explaining that the funds are yours and that you have unfettered access to them. It does not matter if company is a loan company or not, if you can prove when you did the investment and now the investment is coming back to you then you are good to go.

Hello everyone.

I am applying for Canada study permit by the end of March. I have the need to use investment certificate to back up a huge lump sum of POF that I want to do. Can anyone suggest genuine sources to get this done, I mean POF companies that can help me out (you can DM or inbox me if you dont wanna give out details here)....

I got a link for this recently (don't wanna mention their name here; not sure if it is allowed), but if you google and check the company's website, it reveals more that they are a loan company. So I am bothered that this may be a red flag if the VO decides to check up the company giving me the investment certificate.

What is the way forward here? Please someone should help out!
My people, I am still expecting responses on this. Thank you

MFB is a big red flag , don't try it for any reason ....
Thank you Samson. I appreciate your response

Thank you for the response. I appreciate

MumiOlivia:
I don't think MFB works.. Most people said it's red flag. If you want a banker's contact for POF. Send mail. Though its 3.5% monthly.

Hey people....Hope y'all doing well? I need answers here please...

Do you know of anyone who has shown proof of funds of his/her personal savings using a microfinance bank account for the purpose of Canada study permit/student visa, (while the fellow will use MPower for tuition fee)? If yes, was the person successful?

Hi, Hope this isn't too late.

From Berger, get a vehicle to Lekki-Ajah, then drop at Ikate (third round-about), when you drop there, VFS is in the street just opposite where you drop.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by smiglet001: 7:56am On Jul 25, 2023
Good morning people...

I am going for my biometric capturing today

From Berger, by public transport, how do I get to Lekki phase 1?


Thanks in advance for your response

Top up your card to around 200USD.

Yes, it is the first time I am using it. Unfortunately, today is Saturday. Will do the needful on Monday.
Thank you

If this is the first time you are using the card, you might want to call your bank to activate the card for you.

Hello gurus in the house,

I need help ASAP!!!

I am having issues paying for my study permit application.
Since the fee (for study permit and biometric) is $CAD235 equivalent to $USD178 and I have $USD 185 in my dollar card, I thought I should be able to pay without stress using my GTB dollar card. Yet the transaction was declined. (See screenshot below)

What's the way forward please?

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by smiglet001: 9:01am On Jul 14, 2023
Thank you very much, once again.
I have been able to get it done successfully.

However, I have this problem now

Since yesterday evening, I have not been able to login to my IRCC account to continue my Study permit application and submit.
Below (in screenshot) is the response I have been getting. What's the solution to this?

Please note that I coded the email address for security reasons

zubizareta:
Now restart the whole process.
First use the link below and compress the originally merged docs.
https://www.ilovepdf.com/compress_pdf

OR

https://avepdf.com/hyper-compress-pdf

This should reduce to say 9mb.
Then use the one below and compress to your size choice depending on the setting you use. Keep altering it till you get your desired size and quality.

Hello everyone!
I'm facing a situation regarding my Canada Study permit application, and I could use some guidance.

My additional documents, after multiple compression (and some are already losing quality) still stands at 4.28MB and we all know that the additional documents (merged together) cannot exceed 2MB on the IRCC new portal.

How do I go about this reduction to 2mb with some decent level of quality for the documents to be readable by the VO?

Please this is urgent, as I want to submit my application today (11th July, 2023), since my program resumption date is September 2023, so I dont want to delay in the submission.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by smiglet001: 7:41am On Jul 10, 2023
Well, I choose to include it in my application. Its has become common for people to include it. I don't want any loose ends😂

ShowYoung:
Do you really need this if you are applying for a study permit?
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by smiglet001: 8:58pm On Jul 09, 2023
Hello this is quite an issue. You need to ask your agent to send you a copy of your LOA (if you don't have one yet) and check it well for genuineness. I am quite sure you will get something. You can use the student number on your LOA to reach out to Niagara College to be sure its correct. All I am looking at is that you just need to be sure that LOA is not forged....else, its a different ball game here.


CanJ:
Please my people Help me out urgently
I got the response on my application after 10weeks through my agent that
" I have concerns that you have provided a fraudulent or inappropriately obtained letter of acceptance from Niagara college in your application ....."
I would like to provide you with opportunity to respond. You will have 7days from the date of this letter to submit evidence and documentation you deem will address these concerns

You can make use of wakanow website to get the fair prices for different airlines and you will be able to make the best decision.
Cost of flight has greatly increased especially with the recent spike in foreign exchange rate

Zeed13:
which airline is recommended for flying to Canada?
The prices here are very expensive.

Any list of recommendations, please?

Hello guys,

I am planning on submitting my study visa application by Monday (10th July, 2023) and I am hopeful to get biometric request soon.
I want to ask, do I need a passport photograph as a requirement for getting biometrics done?

Your answers will help me with my planning as I do not reside in Lagos. Thanks
