Awesome !

lilspiceyy:

She got a medical request hours after she posted that.

NPC is better .
Its the officially approved in Nigeria by F.G. If time is on your side , do it once and for all.
If time is against you, use what you have at hand

morgan2006:
Good evening, house.
Please can I use my birth certificate issee at my local govt area or must I use the birth certificate from national population commission?
Thanks for the kind response

1. I suggest you apply alone, then your family members left behind would be seen as home-tie for you.
Oyinbo people want assurance that you do not want to emigrate under the cover of further studies. So they want things that would make you look back and come back home when you finish your studies. Secured Job at home is another home ties. Properties etc .This is in theory.
2. Immediately you get there, you start the process of their (loved ones, I mean) coming to join you.
It has been discussed extensively here.How to go about it.
3.See packaging a TRV application as going for an exam.
Preparations can never be too much. Its better to over-prepare than to under-prepare.
But there is nothing you can do more than your very best. Hence if you can get a co-sponsor, please add it. It improves your situation.
But If you can not get, submit what you have (being your best in the circumstance ) and pray for HIS favour. HE will surely make your application the best in the eye of the Visa officer, if you BELIEVE.
4. Forgive me for saying this.:
You need to make good use of google.com to answer many of your questions if you want to move very fast.
Trust me, most of the clarifications have been done already by experienced guys who are now too busy to come here frequently.
We that need the help need to create the time to read back. The more you read back the better the understanding.
E.G. copy and paste the below without the quotation mark and let me know if it does not help in any way:
" going with my husband and baby : travelling-canada-part-7 " => output is restricted to the thread =travelling-canada-part-7
"going with my husband and baby : travelling-canada-part-6 " => output is restricted to the thread =travelling-canada-part-6
These are just samples. Try to vary the questions as convenient for you and see if the output help.
I don't want to give you a single link when you need diverse experiences in order to make an informed choice. Creating important key words is what is required for an awesome result via google.
But note that to really have a broad understanding dictates that you don not limit yourself to your personal case alone.
Devote a bit more time to scheme through and copy for keep the important stuff to make them handy whenever needed.
Best wishes. Cheers

hi guys if I may ask Nabtab result is not o level like WAEc and NECO. Any differents.

Exactly : "Always remember, that every case is different (and treated specially) so don't use another person's experience to measure yours.."
We have seen some successful application as fast as around a week for online route a few weeks ago and we have also seen around 7 weeks.
It fluctuates depending on many variables.
A fast sample is : https://www.nairaland.com/2035081/travelling-canada-part-7/157
There was a much faster one
Welcome dear redribs. Wishing you the very best. Cheers

redribs:
I hail o my people. Been too long. Plenty reasons for my absence but I won't bore anyone with the stories.
Here's wishing all TRV hopefuls the very best outcomes from their application. I believe that using this forum as a guideline while applying for a visa to Canada, tremendously increases your chances of getting it. Just thought to encourage everyone to keep sharing experiences and brainstorming ideas, it really helps.
Always remember, that every case is different (and treated specially) so don't use another person's experience to measure yours, instead you can pick out the details that apply to you and learn from it.

Meanwhile, please I would like to know how long it's been taking "visiting" visa processes these days (online and paper).

Thanks guys. All the best once again.

Please, let us be honest with ourselves. After paying your school fees how much is left to take care of 3 people, pay accommodation of around $500 CAD monthly, medical bills etc !??
Read back to 10 days ago, here, this exact situation was discussed at length and learn from it.
Its a long analysis. So do your self the good of correct and balanced info.
The cash is low, you may have home-tie issue etc

mosopefoluwa:
Hello Peoples,
I av just been given admission for MSc at a uni in Canada. I am married wit a 4-month old baby. With about N5M in my account. School fee for first year is $15,800(approximately N2.6M. My questions are
1. Can my husband and baby accompany me?
2. Will d said amount be enough to apply for r 3 of us? Or do we need to build our account before den?or is it more advisable we get a sponsor?
N.B. I av about N10M property inherited from my mum but still in her name and unfortunately no will but I am her only child.
Pls give advise on how I can proceed from here

You are making it unnecessarily difficult because you have not bothered to read back from here to earlier post. I fear unless you read back as far back as Part 5 you may not do it very right. Please don't be lazy (No insult is intended ) you case is very good. Read back please and you will be at peace with yourself for the very best.
Now Note
Your uncle cannot engage in that business without him having a correct certificate of registration with CAC (corperate Affairs Commission).
He only need to formalise all the assistance you have been rendering him for which you were being paid by :
1. Getting a letter head with the name of the company on it with the details of the RC number .
2. Issue you the letter of employment to the date you started assisting him. Finish !
You have a good balance in your account , I want to assume the flow is fine too.
You may need a co-sponsor to package your application with very well.
Your uncle may serve this for you and in this case all the required documents have been discussed in the past on this thread.
He can even issue you a leave letter if what you are going for can be seen as something that will further his business on way or the other.
Read my recent post on how to use google.com to quickly find whatever you are looking for on this thread.
Full details on Sample SOP, letter of sponsorship by a company or an individual etc
Experienced people will not be coming here to repeat themselves always when its only required of us to just read back.
No one is being paid to be here and everyone is busy. All your questions have been answered before.
Do the needful, it will save you time . Good luck

pickcalmkris:

Please what is the procedure for having a valued Documentation ? Thanks in advance. Cheers .

Obig am so sorry for your delay. I know how it feels, I've been dere before. My first application was refused and my company was and is still my sponsor just dat ds time I got a Co sponsorship letter from my dad who is also a director in my company. The company paid my full school fees and paid in 2 million into my personal account as my living expenses as dey couldn't give me the company's statement of account. I had an account balance of 5m as my hubby paid in 2m into my acc. I guess my application was refused cos I wanted to go with my husband and daughter but ds tym, I applied alone and also had to get a letter from my MD introducing my dad as one of d directors, valued documentation of my Husband's landed properties worth 198,000,000 and I believe God ds tym so don't be devastated, don't also rush to mek anoda application, take ur tym, and reapply and God will do it for U.

The Administrator of this forum need to do the needful and very fast too.
Please ADMINISTRATOR, act now on those kinds of contributions. Why not PM these info to each other if at all
I observed one of such a couple of days ago too. Its becoming very frequent. BAD.!

TLOTRS:

Sometimes what we say on the internet can determine a lot of things , do you guys think the VO's don't read the forums? When applicants submit fake or in this case, "prepared documents", it goes a long way in determining the visa approval time of Nigerians.
When citizens of some countries have 4 weeks maximum visa approval time, ours is 13 weeks maximum , and we want equal treatment from CDHC? There are better ways of doing things.
#myonenaira

1. The 1st skill to acquire is how to use www.google.com to get answers to question.
2. After 1. above only a few questions will remain which can be easily resolved here.
3. You need to read back as fast as possible using the skill of 1. above. Please there is no faster and surer alternative.
4. Pasting "how to apply for student visa in canada through paper route " into google, without the quotation mark give the 1st result that has this
https://www.nairaland.com/1229480/travelling-canada-part-4/363
5. The greatest authority of TRV matters is www.cic.gc.ca and there the link below you will have the procedure and requirement
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/study-how.asp

In your own interest read back in order to profit from the experience of others who have gone this road before you. You may also read my posts on how to use google to limit results to niraland and move fast. Its better to learn how to fish than being given fish. Good luck

zuggy:
I want to apply through the paper. Can someone pls tell me the procedures. Where I can get the form to fill and submit documents. Thank you.

Why are u complicating issues ?
Go via online route.In that case you need only scan all documents including your dad's own.
The man is old school and must have heard lots of scams. I do not blame him at all. Examples of Prodigal children who have sold their parents property illegally are common.
Do everything including asking mum to persuade him. Persuade him to a business centre where he can do the scanning while he holds on to the original.
If he is proves difficult, go buy 3 in one printer which is now less that 8K bring to the house and scan all your docs where he feels they are safe.
Try, try and try everything possible including looking for a co-sponsor.
NEVER, NEVER fail to submit your application after trying your best in the circumstance.
Pray GOD to complement your application and complete it in the eye of the V.O.
It is well with you (amen)

sexysammy0906:
Good morning. pls i would like to ask a question about visa processing for study permit. my dad who is my sponsor has refused to give me his land document or shares certificates whether original or notarised photocopy . i have tried to reason with him that it is important that i have this document to ensure my chances of getting a visa but he insists that it is a scam that no one in embassies asks for land or share document for visa. since there is no way to convince him that it is not a scam and i do not have anyone else to ask, pls what do i do??

He meant 8 million naira.
Read backward, you will know that it could not have been dollar.
I hope you are following the post of others in order to gain therefrom and not only selectively reading the reply to your queries ??
They benefit you so much.

jpepper:
Wait o, emperoracro, i just checked your response to my SOA issue. Do u actually mean 8million dollars?or naira?
Ha 8 million dollars ke?I don die!!!

You are just wasting your limited time, trust me.
Be considerate too. You want a particular person who is just helping out out of love to be repeating himself ad-infinitum on the same question ? Remember, no one is being paid to be here !
When your need become really urgent you will do the needful of reading back.
Abi you were not taught in school how to scheme through a huge dump of info in to get you useful info niii ?
Ok, hint is :

"whatever is in your mind = your question : nairaland " without the quotes will limit your search to earlier post on the subject of interest on nairaland.
example : copy and paste the following without the quotation mark inside you google search :
"company sponsor : nairaland " => you will be redirected to the link below :

https://www.google.com.ng/?gws_rd=ssl#q=company+sponsor+:+nairaland

On this link you can see the 3rd entry should have useful info to you. That takes me to
https://www.nairaland.com/2035081/travelling-canada-part-7/209
see the post by : toecyne: 11:39pm On Feb 25 , Does it not help you a little ?
Pick some others on the link.
Thereafter, vary your search question as appropriate and repeat :
" your question : nairaland " , learn to frame question in general sense . this will give your plenty to sieve thru

Assignment : Go learn tips to do google search. It is an indispensable too and you will stop being dependent on crutches when you have a health limb. Good luck my Friend.

Its urgent, and I an new to this thread, thats why i asked, please help me

The tuition fee is yearly now

podosci:

University of malitoba says 11k canadian dollars......what i want to know is, is it for the 2years?

Immediately Read back to January this year from this spot.
Thereafter, proceed to Part 4 (i.e ultimately from this spot to part4) . Your answer is there in FULL, trust me.
You need not waste any time. If you do the above you will have little question left within a short while of days and you would have been ready
to submit you application. Don't be Lazy. That is the only requirement. Here someone got his TRV within less than 10 day.
Hence, Theory is different from what happens in Practise. Read ! Read !! and Read back my dear friend. You are in the right place.

Team12:
Hello House,
I am new to the forum. I just got admission for Masters into a university in Canada and I have been given partial scholarship. I just discovered that the processing time for Study Visa has been increased from 21 weeks to 31 weeks (that is 8 months). I am required to resume in September 2015 (in 5 months) and I can't defer because of the scholarship.

I got information from someone that the processing time on their website is not usually followed, and that people now get Study Visa within a month. How true is this? Please anyone with useful information and practical experience on how long it took to process their study visa (using online application) should please share.

Also what other documents not stated on their website can enhance my application

I also plan to travel with my 1 year old daughter. She is already on the waiting list for several child care providers in Canada and I intend to submit our application together.

Please advice.

Officially you need it. Go to the Nigerian immigration website to confirm
But officials of the immigrations service have ways of packaging it if you play ball. That is why they didn't ask you.

bighead1:

Who says one needs cert of origin for intl passport?

Haha, bros, small like Elephant ! When the guy get to the river, trust me, he will cross it successfully !
The 1st thing is to chop TRV...All else can change as appropriate subsequently now, abi no be so ?

lekan008:

Pls, kindly consider the data you'd need if Nigeria is chosen as a case study.... hope you garrit?

Principal applicant should go first in my view and invite others a few months after. Its safer, else everyone risk refusal. The V.O. might see it as a ploy by the whole family to emigrate. This is just an advise please.

irridemi:
I will be going for a 2years Dip Course by Jan'16. So am currently collating documents(I want to go with my spouse). The estimated course fee from start to finish including accomodation and feeding for student alone is N4million. I want to sponsor my self while my husband is the co-sponsor. I have a Pension Account worth 2million, a Fixed Deposit Account of N1million, i hope to build my salary account to have a closing balance of N1million. I currently earn 150k per month after tax, I have my payslips and can get my Tax Statement. My husband has an Investment in Oil(with an evidence ) of N2Million which they give him interest per month. He is a Co-partner\Consultant of a business, and profit is shared quarterly, the profit (coy's cheque)is been paid into his account quarterly. His closing balance as at the time we will apply hopefully should be N1million. He also has a dollar account which he's been building up app 6,000dollars. We hope to present his Company's Financial Accounts, evidence of his tax payment. We have 3plots of land worth N600,000 each(receipts). We have an uncompleted building worth of N800,000. He is a Director in his Father's Business (they have an event centre worth of 10million). The dad is retired, and so he helps in managing it. Our properties are in our names while bank accounts are individual. He also plans to do an online Course (13weeks prog) from canada 2nd quarter this year. while my home tie will be taking over my mum's creche school. Please are we good to go?.thanks

@pchax : Please, you have a mail in your inbox. At your spare time kindly attend to it Oga.

Updated link to include misszionboo SOP

A million Thanks for the link. I can read this from there
"What is acceptable evidence of funds in support of my study permit application?
Proof of funds can be in the form of your certified bank statements or your sponsor’s certified bank statements accompanied by an affidavit from your sponsor confirming that they will be financially responsible for you. All funds must be in an account in Canada or in the country of your current residence. General letters of reference from banks are not sufficient. For more details, refer to the Study permit checklist."

A UNI TORONTO trained Nigerian-Canadian immigration lawyer with an immigration consultancy firm in Canada recently told me that it is IMPOSSIBLE for one's sponsor to be a non-relation. But we know that in practice and from the testimony of applicants here, that is not correct. So I have a feeling that the V.O. sometimes closes their eyes to some of the rules they consider NOT so serious.
I will rather go with honest experience of eFamily members here than be discouraged from trying.

Snappyfingaz:

You're correct to some extent but your manner of approach is rather crude, rude and uncalled for. This issue have been trashed out before like a year or two ago here. People it was actually stated in "official" government of Canada websites for respective countries that funds must be in Canada or one's country of residence. Here is the link to the Nigerian version of the site http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/nigeria/visas/faq.aspx?lang=eng
If you read through it clearly states that but then again anyone who have been on this thread for long should know that peeps have been getting visas with oversea accounts. So, anyone with plans of doing that should go ahead and not be heartbroken. And our brother here should stop been crude as well. Treat others with respect and try to present proof and facts next time instead of arguing and been abusive. All na to avoid quarrel. Thanks.

Hmnn !
What you have done is risky. Someone else might submit this even before you the real owner !!
You should have taken time to read back in order to identify individuals who are good and experience at the art of writing SOP.
You then PM (Private mail them) to assist you in proof reading. This is the mistake people make when they are too much in a hurry instead of setting out much earlier. The samples you may have seen here have been used to "chop" TRV already. If I were you, I will take this out of the public domain.I wish the very best

olutowo:
please house, help a dear brother, i don't want to copy paste a statement of purpose so i write this with the guideline i got...pleas help me go through it and if there is any correction, feel free to correct me or better still u can email me @olutowo@yahoo.com. thanks

I, my name, use this opportunity to write to you on the purpose why I am interested in studying MA Economics at the University of. I am a Nigerian citizen wanting to study Economics at the Masters level. I chose Economics at this level because of the advantage it will bring to me at the future.
To start with, I had B.Sc in sociology from the University of ........ in Nigeria, where I had second class upper division and during this period I learnt about human relations, attitude and character which determine our ways of life. Albeit, after my University degree, I had another experience where the world goes round with buying and selling both locally and internationally, of which you have to know the technical know-how of the economic world. I engaged in my father’s agricultural business where we had to deal with both local and international clients who want to export these agricultural products. It is from this angle that I learnt that I have to get knowledge on the economic aspect of the business.
During my undergraduate days, I was opportune to write some economics course which gave the little knowledge I have about economic and why I want to pursue economics for my masters.
The Industrial world has opened my mind on the way things are down around the world and which one must have knowledge. For instance, the American Dollar dictate some economic strength of some nation in which Nigeria is part of and it is necessary that I know how this works so as to flow with the exporting clients that I work with.
I have written a project during my undergraduate days on the “Economic Growth and Incidence of Crime Commission” in a location in Nigeria which helps me know that our economy dictates our ways of life. Also in my agricultural business, I need to know more in depth about the economic laws that governs some situation in which am ready to learn e.g., the laws of demand and supply etc.
I choose to study MA Economics at the University of ........ because they have a strong commitment to its student success and provided a platform where its students can carryout their research wok with the help of their research supervisor. I have contacted some lecturers in the department such as Prof Tony Myatt, Prof Ted Mcdonald, Dr Paul Peters, as one of my research upervisor and am waiting for their response to these.
I look forward to securing an admission to the university and shall be grateful if this is highly considered.
Thank you.

I think a Nigerian Topic is better for you. This is because you can use it to package your home tie in your SOP. It is capable of giving a favorable impression that you DO NOT want to stay back after your studies but instead you would like to return to contribute to national development back home

olutowo:
plz house, i was told to chose a research topic, plz can i choose a nigerian research topic or or i should choose that of canada where have never been to?? mind u...a form of case study/..... thank you

They mean you should go to osun state to obtain a local government identification letter.
In that case you may as well go to Osogbo passport office to do it after getting the L.G. ID.It is faster there as there are fewer applicants.as
I once had it done within 5 hours. The internet has to be up.
But if you talk seriously to the right person in Lagos office, they will do all that packaging for you for a fee. The guy you are dealing with currently only want you to add money for him, hence he decided to make it look like an issue you need to worry about.Talk better to him. Tell him you are going to do it in Osogbo. You will see him bulge because he would miss the tip involved should you walk away.

irridemi:
Good Morning everyone, I love this thread, a lot of useful info. However, I am just starting my student permit journey. I need info about getting statement of origin for international passport. I was @ the alausa passport office and dey said I need statement of origin (osun). Pls any info, on how I can get it. I will appreciate if any one can assist me asap, I want to go there today again.
