Thanks Spectro,

My program is 1 year and first term fee is 5,845CAD. I'm to pay a balance of 4,845CAD which is approximately 1.8m having paid the 1,000 tuition deposit. My husband is moving the second term tuition and leaving expenses to me and he will still have 2m remaining in his account. Can I still go ahead with NSE?

If after deducting tuition and other academic related expenses, you have at the very least 10,000 CAD, I believe you are good to go.

But you will really have to explain this to the VO. The VO needs to understand that you made some payments, etc... And you must attach all the proofs.

What's important is showing that you have a minimum of10,000 CAD after all academic related expenses have been made.

I am not too sure, but I think this 10,000 CAD may be your pocket money as you land in Canada, so you may also have to factor in other expenses like plane ticket, transportation cost to Canada, etc...

It's always good to have above the said amount.

When you say he is moving the second term tuition, what exactly do you mean?

I should add that if the finances look really forced and hard, the VO may not be amply convinced. He or she would think your study abroad is not worth the immense financial sacrifice.

My application could have mirrored or fair better if Zenith bank hasn't turn out to be a pain in the ass for 5 days and counting.

Applied 25th of March
Bio request 26th
Did bio on 29th
Got MBS request 31st (cause I submitted my Ielts already, just MBS left)
Couldn't get my sponsor to visit the bank and Zenith bank has been having technical issues with internet and online banking for 5 days... I'm stuck and highly livid by this ineptitude performance from Zenith.

God will come through for us las las

I wish everyone success, at least your application give hopes that we Nigerians aren't forgotten by IRCC.

AYO LO MA JASI

Thanks a lot for this.

Your application was moving at lightning speed until the issue with Zenith bank.

It's a painful setback, but you will rise above it.

It will end in praise for us by the Grace of God.

Ade2303:
Please who knows schools with high acceptance rate and low tuition fee that can accept second class lower for a masters in physics and electronics in Canada?

Asking for someone, please do reply ASAP

Hmmm, why not ask the person to go for a PGD instead?

You are seeking schools with the following conditions
1. High acceptance rate
2. Low tuition
3. Accepts second class lower division.

That almost sounds illogical to me for the following reasons.

This is Canada, not Germany with many schools looking for students.

People dey rush Canada like mad.

1. If a Masters program has a high acceptance rate, it will definitely prioritize first class and second class upper division. Hence, there's a lower chance for 2-2. This is because a lot of first class applicants and 2-1 applicants will rush the sugary opportunity na... And a school can only have limited space for the students she can accept.

2. Low tuition? Then you get the picture. Many more applications will be submitted, and then there will be high competition for limited space.

There may be one or two schools that are exceptions, but from the perspective of logical reasoning, I don't see how that is possible.

Please to gurus in thee house, I want to apply for my study visa by May, I have my IELTS as follows:

Speaking 6.0
Writting 6.5
Reading 5.5
Listening 5.0

I want to know if I should go ahead and apply through NSE direct or I should apply the normal way. Note, My husband is my sponsor and he has just 6m in his acct. I'm going for 1yr PG course.

Pls reply. Thanks

Your listening score is somewhat low, considering how Canada places high emphasis on the listening test.

Regardless, I have no idea if it will impair your chances... I'll let the gurus address that.

As for cash, 30,000 Canadian dollars is equal to approximately 10 million Naira, going by the IRCC/Mid-market rate.

But then, other factors matter here... The tuition of your chosen college/University and the information on your bank statement.

For example,

1. Is the closing balance more than 30,000 CAD? (Remember, your spouse is your sponsor, and it is expected that he must have something left for himself too).
2. Has there been moderate inflow and outflow?
3. Did a lump sum suddenly appear?
4. Is the bank statement authentic?
5. Is the bank statement yours, your parents', your spouse's, or someone not very close?
6. Are there other documents attached to reflect sponsorship commitment, signature, etc.?

I don't need you to answer these for me, but you get the picture.

Olubs80:
How do you apply with MBS? Do I need to go visit the bank?

If you are using GT bank, you can generate it by using GTworld app

If you are using Access bank, the only way is to go to the bank.

You will be given a ticket with a password and another code printed on it.

Conclusion: It depends on what bank you are using.

RELAN2446:
Please what is ghost update?

Minute changes such as

Application submitted
Application updated
Etc...

They are not accompanied by letters or documents.

RELAN2446:
Please my status just changed from application submitted to application updated, please what does this mean?

It will later change back to 'submitted'.

I believe this is because you uploaded/emailed some documents to your portal/IRCC and they are letting you know that the documents have now been added to your previous documents.

DDO97:
Wow! This speed sha....

It will end in praises!!!!

Amen!

And so will yours!

Frankrobbn1:
The NSE request for your application came so fast. I hope you get a positive consideration in your study permit application.



It will end in praise

I thought so too. It came really fast. I just hope this is a sign of great things to come.

Thanks a lot, Frankrobbn1

mobbwc:
Hello house,

I am sorry for the quite unrelated post/question, I was unable to get a quick answer on the IELTS room.

I wish to take the IELTS exam in Lagos, I heard some centers do not give headsets for Listening but instead play the Listening test with a loudspeaker.

I will be happy if anyone who wrote with IDP/MOD (Not British Council) tells me what center they wrote and were given a headset. I am considering writing at the UNILAG center, So if anyone wrote there please advise otherwise let me know alternatives.

Thank you

How about taking the CBT instead?

If you are very good at typing, this should favor you.

I scored much higher with the CBT than pencil-on-paper

You will also have access to headphone

Application was submitted on 11th March
Biometrics invitation letter on 12th March
Biometrics done on 15th March
NSE Request on 25th March
NSE completed on 25th March
Eligibility review started on the 29th March

I am patiently waiting. I pray it will end in praise.

Frankrobbn1:
It doesn't matter where and how the tuition payment was made. You can transfer the money to another account of yours or someone else to help you with the transaction.



It will end in praise

I have always wanted to say this. Bro, you go teach me English ooo. You are too fluent!

How you take do am gan?

Kudos!

olabisi6438:
I sent my medical slip to nairobi by mail alone. It got uploaded the same day on my gckey

Excellent!

It will end in praise.

olabisi6438:
Yes i booked in dec and did it in january

So did you upload any medical doc, send via email or webform? Or did you leave it to the hospital to do their thing?

olabisi6438:
hello guys good morning. I just opened my gckey now and i saw this. I applied through normal processing

Wow, the wait is real! Yours is since December. Sometimes ehn, the best thing to do is to just take your mind off it and focus on something else before it starts taking a toll on your health.

I will just wait for their mails and check back in June. I 'cannor' come and 'kee' myself. I submitted my application in March though.

RxOtunba:
Admission to UWindsor takes about 2-4months normally, although I got my admission in abt 2 weeks, I wouldn't knw if it's bcuz of Covid-19 or bcuz I applied in 2018 and was refused. I dnt knw how long it took @spectro to get his admission anyway.

Also note that review of your application doesn't start until al documents have been received, including LoR from professor(s)

Bro, I don commot whatsapp for now... I dey under the weather. But when I return, I go holler at you. I removed the app completely.

I hope you are safe and well.

DianneM:
Hello Spectro, congratulations on your admission. I applied as well for Fall 21 and I wanted to find out how long it took to get your offer
Thanks

Good morning, DianneM

I hope you and your family are keeping safe.

I applied last year's March, and received my acceptance letter on 16/04/2021. I deferred my admission afterwards, because of the Covid 19, and because I had other things I was doing at the time.

So, logically I'd say it took about a month for final decision to be made.

Wifefo88:

Please, how does one send via email? Do you have an idea what the email address is?

How does one send through webform too?

I am new to this.

Mami1:
Admission Letter
ARRIVECAN receipt - to be printed within 48hours if flight
COVID-19 result- must be negative
Proof of funds
Evidence of enrollment for the semester
Letter of Introduction

Good morning, friend

Please, how does one handle the aspect of proof of funds?

Does showing them cash count, or does it have to be some sort of bank statement?

I don't know if this is a Nigerian thing, but damn, we really don't know how to respond to issues affecting other people's lives.

Many people here on nairaland, and all over the country do not understand that depression is much deeper than circumstantial experience. Just like perfectionism, Obsessive-Compulsive disorder, Paranoia, Anorexia nervosa, Bulimia nervosa, and a host of other mental illnesses, depression is an enduring illness that only depressed people understand perfectly.

The pain they go through cannot be understood by the rest of you. There is a lot going on inside, that even if they lived in the most comfortable circumstances, the pain might still endure. Of course, tragic events stir up suicidal thoughts in them, but there is so much more to depression than most people know.

So, if you can't respect the dead by pitying them and asking them to rest in peace, shut the f-up!

jonosas:
Congrats, Spectro. My resumption is also September. Planning on applying online this month.

We will all get to celebrate the success of our visa approvals by God's grace. Our endeavor and documents are blessed.

Klianud:
I suggest you start ASAP if you are resuming in May, but if your admission is for fall2021 then it’s okay. I didn’t pay a full semester’s tuition though. I just paid my acceptance fee of 4000CAD. My resumption date is in May 2021.

Very true. May 2021 is very close.

My resumption date is actually September 9, 2021. So, I guess I can wait for a while.

Congratulations on getting admission. I believe another great news (Visa approval) is approaching.

It will end in praise by God's grace.

Klianud:

Good evening, bro. When are you commencing your program at Windsor? Is it a Master's program?

I'm also preparing to commence my program at The University of Windsor.

Enskynelson, for all the good stuffs you do on here, I pray God enriches you abundantly.

You guide and support other people freely and happily, and I think that is quite huge.

I am just an observer on here, we haven't really met; we probably won't. But I pray you experience perpetual joy for a lifetime.

deommanuel:
IT HAS ENDED IN PRAISES CHIEF!

IT HAS ENDED IN PRAISES!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Bro, I notice you help a lot on here. I'm inspired actually. Are you presently in Canada, or are you also applying for a Visa?

If it so happens that you are just helping out, I honestly don't know how to thank you for all the support you've rendered a lot of people here.

I pray God enriches you and gives you your heart desires.

I don't have any celebratory news, but based on what you've done for others, may greater joy be experienced by you.

OtunbaTee:
Yes its like that, just free it...you're not printing anything out, fill it on the system when done you'll sign electronically ..

Thank you very much.

zionative:
Hi.
I printed mine, signed, and scanned it back for upload.

Thank you very much.

I noticed that for the family information (IMM5645) for the online document submission, there is no way I can sign it electronically.

Am I expected to download it, sign it, and then upload?

It's getting me worried.
