Can you please share your contact details so we can chat? I really need your help. Business development and Marketing corrrelate but I am confused as to what the VO really wants. Our best sometimes isn't enough. Check my profile or use the Nairaland PM. |

olahpet777: Okay my peoples...!. I'm looking to move out of this country at the slightest opportunity. I'm thinking about U S A. I'm currently doing my masters in English Language in U.I, as soon as I'm through, i want to move. Any advice on how I'll go about it and the requirements.. also, do i have a good chance I can decide to apply for student Visa too as I don't mind doing a PhD immediately in The states too... Thanks in advance for your matured responses.! Start by researching for schools that suits your qualifications. Most schools do state their application processes on their websites, follow those steps, also, don't forget to write a suiting statement of purpose (SOP); it will aid funding. |

I am currently employed and I have been employed for the past 7 years. Is your proposed course related to your present employment? Did you convincingly state (in your SOP) how this course relates to your Job roles? |

Bracha: Good morning everyone,
It has been a while. How's everyone doing? Hope we're all OK and praying too ☺. Congratulations to those who got their TRVs and also to those who are yet to receive it, it will end in praise.
I got into Canada this past Thursday. PoE was smooth.
Here is a bit of what I can remember
CBSA agent: please give me your acceptance letter and proof of payment Me: handed them over to her.
CBSA Agent: what are you going for Me: MELS at Brandon University, Manitoba.
Agent: how do you intend to pay the rest Me: my uncle will be paying for it. Also I have a TA position at the school.
Agent: what does your uncle do? Me: I don't really know but just know he lives here, don't know what he does too.
Agent: that's rather weird. That you don't know all these. How then has he been helping. Me: he's been helping since back home in Nigeria.
Agent: OK.
Agent: will the TA stipend be enough to take care of the rest? Me: yes it would.
Agent: OK.
Agent: please wait. Then she goes to print the study permit. Then comes back. She hands it to me
Me: please will this allow me work off campus? Agent: yes. Me: thank you.
Agent: just go through there. Me: thanks.
I told her I didn't have the statement of account and she said no problem. She didn't need that.
I had an apple watch with me, my brother wanted me to change the screen for him. Nothing was asked of me there. But at the Agricultural section (the people you submit the declaration form to for them to mark), they asked if I had seeds and other stuff, I said yes. I even ticked it on the declaration form. They said okay, no problem. I also ticked that I had unaccompanied goods (goods to follow, which is my bag that contains my food items).
Note: Bring food o, as in traditional food - Ogbono, Egusi, Oha, efo etc. Leave meat and milk/milk-containing food items. Just bring food items - indomie o, spaghetti o, so long as your bag no pass your weight allowance, just bring. Whatever you bring, please declare them on the card. Answer questions with confidence and then continue praying so they don't find anything amiss. Carry blanket too if you can. Canada is very very very very cold (see as the 'very' long eh, it doesn't even begin to explain how cold it is).
Also, get thermal clothing for the cold. Buy bathroom slippers too. Buy shoes o - for women, buy walking shoes (see pictures, these pictures are just examples of what you need), leave those normal women shoes, they won't give you any protection at all.
I changed some of my money at the Bureau dé Change downstairs (at the arrival section). CAD costs 286 there instead of 290 upstairs and in other places.
I forgot my bag of food items so now I need someone to please bring it for me. Anyone coming to Canada in the coming days? I will pay to have it sent to Brandon from wherever you are. Pleaseeeeeee.
Ayodeji786, Blema111, Martinomi, congrats. Also I Ayodeji and Blema111 please I need either of you's help with the bag because you guys will be coming to provinces close to mine. Abeg
Also don't forget winter boots and jackets o Congratulations! |

jendy36: Does the below line mean that those with three-year bachelor's degree in computer science can't apply?
Not all countries offer four years of study for a bachelor's degree. Some are three years. Are graduates from those countries ineligible to apply?
See screenshot below This is it: these "countries that do not have their years of studies to be four years" (common among European Nations, especially Schengen) mostly request for A-Level or equivalent qualifications, in order to undergo their BSC programs, unlike their counterparts that just need your O-Level certificate. You have nothing to worry about, just include your secondary and post-secondary school qualifications, also your Bachelor degree transcript, and you will be fine. |

FYsol: What did you mean by "application approved"
If the company is a multinational and your take home is tangible that it will beat any logical reasoning that you can ditch such job for a new life in Canada then it might fly. On the flip side, is your company bent on Canada only? So that you don't miss the chance of a sponsored vacation can you process another country with less scrutiny. |

trustedward: Thanks for your response, yes I have the required amount needed to sponsor my entire studies, the total amount is approximately 6.5m(14k+10k CAD) but I have about 8m in account already, I also plan on adding my uncle as a co sponsor, don’t know if it would sound normal to the VO since i was able to secure a house and acquire those property , y would my uncle want to co sponsor me I have heard VO said this more than twice, the more the unnecessary document, the more the possibility of your insincerity: either ways are good but the former is not essential. If I should ask, do you bear the same last name with this uncle of yours? If not, then I will strongly suggest you don't. I am not the VO that will handle your application, all posts are from my own point of view, based on experience. |

trustedward: Hi gurus in the house, I have a few landed property and a house built in my name here in Nigeria, I plan on using them as home ties but I don’t know if they might want to know how I managed to acquire them cos I’ve not been working since I graduated but I was able to raise those funds from cryptocurrency I invested in when it was quite in voke, I’ll also be sponsoring myself so I would like to know if it’s a nice idea to use them and also if it won’t raise any red flag since I’ll state it in my application that I’ve not been receiving salary since I returned from service....I actually passed out in 2017(NYSC) so am planning on applying for a PGC program..thanks in anticipation The house as a home tie does not seems to be the problem but the fact that you will be sponsoring yourself with the profit from your cryptocurrency?Do you have the required amount needed to sponsor your entire studies? As a self-sponsor applicant, you need to proof that you have enough money that will cover the total duration of your studies. Back to your question: Proper introduction of yourself and transaction evidence is enough to scale you through. |

Regina3: Hi guys, been a silent reader here following all your advice, been a big source of encouragement & reference for me. I got my approval yesterday.
First Application. Applied online : June 22, 2019 Biometrics: June 26, 2019 Medical: July 17, 2019 Passed: July 20, 2019 Approval/Correspondence :August 1, 2019
Just want to say, I was really worried as all the documents I submitted for proof of financial ability were much and after managing to compress to 3.9MB, the documents didn't look to sharp, I thought that it would be an issue but I thank God, for favour. I will suggest if you are having same challenges as I did, you can use CamScanner on Android play store, I found out about it after submitting mine with poor resolutions. Thanks.
Update: Passport Request : August 5, 2019 Submitted: August 6, 2019 Passport return : August 16, 2019
Grateful! Wish you all success.
Please, looking for Nigerians in U of Regina, Saskatchewan.

I don't know where to start from but let me share my profile below first
Date Submitted: June 14th Biometric done; June 20 Review of eligibility: July 18th Medical reading: August 26th Upfront medical: August 26th Medical passed: August 30th BVL: September 4th Passport request: September 5th
But I sent them so many webforms before and immediately I got medical passed.
International passport biodata page Digital Passport Acceptance letter showing full funding from school.
All CIC forms
*Proof of Financial support* Funding letter from school Letter of sponsor by brother that is in USA. Affidavit of Sponsor. His USA passport/Evidence of legal citizen in the USA Proof of Relationship through his certificate of birth as having same parents. His Bank Account Statement His Pay stubs with monthly salary of $35,000 ( He is the medical director in a USA government hospital)
*Client Information Section* WAEC Certificate Transcript of Academic records BSc Certificate Statement of Purpose My mummy marriage certificate My dad death certificate Police report Birth Certificate
I changed career because I studied Zoology in my undergraduate and now I'm going for MSc Boreal Ecosystems and Agricultural Sciences but I explained what spurred my passion for it and courses I took relevant to the area. I'm not employed as I'm currently still doing my NYSC and didnt submit any nysc stuff.
In term of family ties, I do not have any ties as all my siblings are in the USA and Canada as I'm just the only one left here, they are already citizens of those countries and I listed all of them in the family information without hiding anything. I only used my mom who wasn't even in Nigeria as ties and I said I ll be coming back home for my marriage and I talked about employment prospects as the ties too.
The most important thing is prayer and fasting and it was my mom that did all that. I give *God all the glory*. *He is a faithful God*. All thanks to my *father's in the Lord* who saw this vision coming through for me, Qudkom, Frankrobb, Justmellow,Blema111, sterlingwaterloo and to many others I can't mention.
*I'm wishing the rest still waiting for decision a favourable outcome IJN especially my sister from another mother Mzjokky16. I love you so much you're the best* Congratulations! |
