thesoj:
Every application is unique, so don't expect a one-size-fits-all answer.

Based on what you just wrote, if your uncle puts together a compelling reason to sponsor you through his company (and if he has sole company ownership and sole control of the company accounts) then it should be ok. But I would argue that making such a compelling case is not as simple as you might think. His sponsorship letter cannot be generic, he needs to spell out exactly what aspects of the business he needs you to manage and why.

He should be able to precisely tie together how a combination of your prior education, work experience, character, and his relationship with you make you the perfect choice for a management position for his company. I would also suggest he provide details about the revenue growth numbers he anticipates your skills from Canada would bring to his business. He may also need to describe to the VO the strategic plan for his company and why your skills from Canada would be one of the final pieces to make this strategic plan come to life.

Once you (and your uncle) figure out how to address the above, then you will be able to come up with all the documents you should include. Basically you need any combination of documents that prove registration of the company, your uncle's sole ownership of the company, maybe some documents that show the company's cash flow (recent contracts or agreements with other companies), fat bank account(s), documents that show the company's strategic plan (if any), etc.

I know my advice may sound too detailed to follow well, but I'm giving you this advice because this is exactly what I would do if I were in your shoes. If you need additonal help, look through the long list of links I periodically post to view the "TRV chopping documents" lists, and you should be able to find lists of documents that various applicants have used in the past.

thank you so much for the advise....would work on what you have said

thesoj:
Bro I agree with the spirit of your advice but it is too cut and dry. It is not true that you will for sure be denied a visa with company sponsorship. I know someone on this thread that got his TRV with a very compelling company sponsorship. I went through all his documents so I am 100% certain. Also he isn't the only one. Where I would agree with you is that it is very hard to get a TRV with company sponsorship.

For the sponsorship to be credible, then the applicant's course has to jive with the company's current/future business, the applicant's Canada program must be unique and very rare to find in Nigeria, the company must have a very fat bank account (imho, at least 7-10 times how much they will spend on you per year), you need to have a lot of highly skilled experience with the company (basically, why should they sponsor you if you've only worked there for a year? it wouldn't make sense to the VO), it is difficult for the company to hire Nigeria employees in the skill area for which that they are sponsoring you, the company should probably have a prior history of sponsoring your trainings (e.g. attach prior sponsorships for trainings in South Africa or wherever), you are already very well paid by the company.

You also need to get a lot of credible documents from the company (including letter(s) from the owner(s) or board of directors, registration documents, sources of funds...), etc. So I basically agree with the spirit of your advice but your advice shouldn't be binary.

cc: @spores99. I can categorically state that your chances of approval with company sponsorship are slim to none because your course (international business management) doesn't seem like a course that warrants a company to spend over $20k CAD per year. Sorry to be so blunt but just want to be clear. I do stand to be corrected though, because every application is unique.

PS: Disregard this post if the company sponsoring you is owned by your parents. Company sponsorship is very ok if it is solely owned by your parents.

thanks for your response, really appreciate it
i guess i did not break down the whole thing well....
sponsorship:
the company sponsoring his owned by my uncle (but not same surname) who is also an american citizen but runs his accounting firm (also a contractor who has built 4 notable nigerians) here where he intends to sponsor from, and its a one year programme (18k in total) in addition my step brother is also in canada (over 10yrs) who has also sent documets/affidavit of support to provide financial assitance anywhere i need it and also i have a joint fixed deposit of 3mil with my dad for my disposal.

education:
i graduated with a bsc in science, with a diploma in shipping management with experience in the shipping sector and other professional cert, so my uncle is looking to employ me to manage a new branch he his opening soon so thats y he intends to sponsor my PGD in international business management so i can quickly gain practical knowledge of business management within a year and come back....

with all this i hope am good enough to go? please advise based on your own opinion thanks
@thesoj.... in addition can i also have the sample list of documents u went thru during the person's own
thanks really appreciate... would be waiting on a reply from you

michV:
company sponsorship or organizational sponsorship is not credible at the VOs sight..we have said all this in part10 of this thread.this is because the VOs believe that company monies are not for charity but meant for the running of the organization.the sole aim of any organisation is to maximize profit.company sponsorship will be deemed acceptable for seminars, internships,workshops and training. Not for long-term study..if you persist and use your company as your sponsor,you will come back here to tell me thank you that i told you the truth after your refusal on insufficient funds and its accomplice,purpose of visit.

so what are you suggesting?

Eraytee:
the problem we have here is that we channel all our opinion to what we see here. please where is the link that says when you are above 24yrs you cant get a trv with pgd/pgc admission? its a big lie. this year alone i got 3 friends that travel to canada with pgc/pdg admissions. non of dem is less than 29yrs. its unfortunate non of them also is part of this thread would av mention them. pls, lets not scare people with wot we see only on this thread, the fact that we see more msc/phd applicants getting trv on this thread is not denotative that pdg/pgc cant get trv. all that matters is put forward a convincing app n if the trv is gonna be urs then u'll get it. the funny thing is that my 3 friends dont even have the big sum of money i do see on this thread. What i just observed is that if you are above 25yrs and u r married with a pgd/pgc admission, u av a better chance than the single ones. the 3 friends i sited were all married. this is just my opinion dou. God bless us all.

please eraytee.....can u confirm for me please if your friends travelled based on self sponsorship or workplace sponsorship? would apreciate reply...

michV:
if he wants to retire from the forum,i can even help cook party rice for his retirement.

Meanwhile if you have carefully observed my moniker personally, i don't give or encourage hopeless hopes to any individual whatsoever here regardless of your person since where are faceless here.what am i saying in essence? Is that any organizational/company sponsorship for study permit/visa to an employee/individual will be rejected by the VO. Avoid company sponsorship because the VO will tick the 3 boxes of insufficient funds for you without remorse.

please be kind enough to explain why is that? and also advise on best way out in your opinion? thanks

Haustraliah:
I will love you guys to check Haustraliah on Nairaland, and you will realise that I have been following this thread minimum over three to four years, it cost me nothing to keep silent after having my trv, I kept posting even when in Canada, What I want u to understand is that I got bounty of experience about how this people treat an applicantion, some people say am an agent, because am saying the truth to stop criticising people. check my profile once again.
I write free SOP for people, guide them as well.
I have assisted over 8 of my family members to Canada, all posted on this same thread. gone are the days of Amefrica Tinuoala etc, now some people can come here and now call me an Agent, well am grateful to this thread because I knew all what I know here, and myself, spouse, and family members benefited from it.
Why I criticised her was that I don't want some people to fall on her trap, like using same account balance, it's better to lodge sudden amount of money to ur account and u explain why it's there , probably education Grant. etc.
1.2 million is too small except she uses any other means of sponsorship.
Am so sorry to write the this may be my last post on this thread as I think am done here, I may not reply most people.
Four years on travel to Canada no be small.
Thank u all
wish you good luck.

pls before you retire from this thread, help me out with this question.....pleaseeeeeeeeeee thank you

afredytee:
Good day house. I promised myself I would give a testimony on this thread if I got my trv. I want to thank all of you here for your inputs when it mattered. Although I won't be traveling this year because it is too late to resume classes. I got a visa on a virgin passport and with an account balance of N1.2 million. God really does work in mysterious ways. I urge you to trust him. Good luck to all those expecting. We will celebrate with you soon.

congrats.....really happy for you, may this kind of good news go round

ventq:
Hello guys, please how much should my sponsor have in his account before applying for TRV, my schools fees (Manitoba) is around 6000CAD

atleast 3x dat amount..... wat program are u going 4? is that all your tuition fee for the whole program?

lyndaugochukwu:
Happy Sunday all!

I am new hear but l appreciate all u guys have been doing.

Feb 2nd 2016, l was delayed. Course of intended study was Public Relations and Corporate Communication (PGD) Fanshawe College. I was refused for this reasons : Purpose of visit, close ties to country of residence and Canada, Personal Financial situation and assets, travel history.

Presently l have gotten a Masters admission from Univ. Of British Columbia for January 2017 in line with my UG Studies. Although l intend deferring to Sept 2017 soon.

I travelled to Ghana in May to clear the travel history issue.

My uncle stays in Canada and his wife who was my sponsor stays in (US) but uncle is leaving Canada before December this year. My new sponsor is my counsin- in- law.

I bought a land few months ago which is less than a million while my last account statement was 500k.


My wedding is next month.

I don't work with my previous employer. I am self employed at the moment. My university librarian gave me a letter stating his willing to absorb me as a digital librarian ( field of study: MLIS with focus on Digital Resource Management)

My questions are:
1. how do l tackle my previous reasons of denial Purpose of visit, close ties to country of residence and Canada, Personal Financial situation and assets, travel history?
2. Explain to the visa officer why l am self employed?
3. Convince the visa officer that l don't intend to stay back at my uncle's house in Toronto?
4. Can anyone who is a good SOP writer help me go through my SOP?

? please house help with this issue.....

expertman:
Yes oooo you can sit. It's very well permitted.

Enjoy your trip

u mean its possible without any probs? even at point of entry i wont be questioned?

hello house, good day to you all... please is it possible to travel months before once supposed time of resumption?
for example am to resume sept 2017 and my visa is granted like march 2017, can i travel to canada by may/june ?

hello gurus in d house, please those that applied for PGD is it 1year duration or 2years duration that most applied for

Haustraliah:
Good Day my good people.
I have been following this thread since 2014, Am not new here, and few people may know me.
Its very painful for all denials, may God grant the refused applicants their heart desire.
I got few solutions to the refused applicants, please listen attentively to the following instructions.
1. Age of 16 to 20 should only apply to college, or university.
2. Age 16 to 23 to university. (dont near college if above age of 23)
3.Avoid diploma,certificate programs if you are above 23.
FINANCIAL ISSUES
4. Masters applicants must show prove of fund readily available for studies. i.e. money specially kept in your account (Study Grant, Academic Grant) etc, for feeding, tuition, transportation and books,
5. Sponsorship account alone is not sufficient as prove of fund,
6. Show evidence of employment in home country and evidence of income.
7. write a very strong SOP and explain each academic gaps.
Canadian immigration do not stop issuance of study permit, they only changed their policy over review of student visa for Nigerian applicants due to some reasons. (student claiming asylum upon arrival, recession in Nigeria etc)
For applicant with third class, Hnd, or second class lower with age 16 to 20 can still apply for diploma, graduate diploma and certificate diploma.
If you are above the listed age, and you apply, your chance is very slim and hopefully the success rate is 1 out of 5 applicant.
You can contribute more to this.
Good luck.

thanks for the info....so whats the way forward ? hardly in nigeria can u see someone finish HND, Bsc at d age of 23... please advise on the way out? if possible
