Great advise, to avoid had I know!

Kurukuru:
The rule of thumb is that every temporary visa holders must buy a return ticket. Because flight tickets are valid for one year, that is why those going for study or visit that is more than one year are advised to buy one way. If your airline says your program duration can accomodate a return ticket, please buy it o. CBSA is not smiling right now. They have return so many people from the airport since this cry of "students are coming to take our jobs" started by the locals. Remember that having a visa is not a guarantee of entering Canada. CBSA has the final say.

THE MOST AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY IN LAGOS.

Every person who invests in well-selected real estate in a growing section of a prosperous community adopts the surest and safest method of becoming independent, for real estate is the basis of wealth.

Among the legacies left behind by Alhaji Lateef Jalande ( former Lagos State Governor) are the Low Income Housing Estates strategically located across the state. It shouldn't be an overstated if one says Alhaji Lateef Kayode Jakande was the best ever Governor produced by Lagos State and even the country as whole.

Late Lateef Jakande was a strong member of the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) and the party had four cardinal programmes- free education, free health, integrated rural development and gainful employment at that time. It was Alhaji Jakande that added Mass Housing in Lagos State to the list and today the legacies of those housing estates lived after him.

To build the housing estates, Jakande set up a committee to search for vacant land across Lagos State and had a list of lands twelve (12) months before the elections, that means he already planned ahead even before becoming the governor, a great lesson for everyone to always plan ahead for the future especially real estate investment. Had it been that the funds were invested on luxury vehicles for government officials his memories would have faded away for the reason that non of such vehicles will still be on the road this present time.

When he eventually assumed office, he asked civil servants to look for land, they told him there was none because landowners had sold them. He brought his prepared list of available lands to activate the scheme, so if someone tries to discourage you, once you are armed with strong information the problem is solved. The lesson from that is, negotiate rather than abandon your policies.

The Low Cost Housing Estate, Oke-Afa, Isolo in Lagos state is one of the many estates developed during Governor Lateef Jakande regime. The estste is a well planned, properly laid out with networks of tarred and motorable roads in a serene and secured environment. The estate is provided with football fields, basket ball courts, community halls, community Shopping Center, traffic lights among other facilities and infrastructures. Oke-afa Isolo is a town that lies in the Oshodi-Isolo Local Government Area in Lagos state. This is a town that lies near Apapa-Oshodi Expressway and its major link roads are Mushin - Isolo Road enroute Lagos Polythenic, Isolo Campus.

Meanwhile, the Osolo way Off Muritala International Airport road and Okota road, off Apapa - Oshodi expressway also link to Isolo. Also, one can access the estate from Ire Akari Estate and through the recently constructed Ajao Estate - Canoe bridge - NNPC deport road. Therefore, Isolo Lagos is a very popular and busy town in Oshodi-Isolo LGA. It is near Ago Palace Way, Ejigbo, Ire Akari Estate and Ajao Estate.

At Jakande Estate, Oke Afa, Isolo an investor can get a well maintained 3-bedroom flat to buy at the price of between N17m and N20m depending on the floor level and condition of maintenance whilst a 2-bedroom flat for between N12m and N15m depending on the floor level and state of repairs. A 3-bedroom semi detached bungalow (self compound) with sells for N35m or there about depending on the state of repairs.

Currently, a 3-Bedroom flat in the estate goes for a rent of between N800,000 and N1,000,000 per year and could be higher if the flat is well renovated and can be furnished for short rent. Further to that, due to the high rate of property demand in the estate, resulting in rapid value appreciation, in the next 2 or 3years, a 3-Bedroom flat in the could be selling for between N20m and N25m if not more.

Both the flats and bungalows command good rental values and could be resell at higher price after a while because of high appreciation rate due to increase in demand for properties to buy by investors in the estate.

Therefore, either it's planning for retirement, saving for children college fund or earning residual income, investing in real estate is a very good investment vehicle that could be highly effective.

Real estate investments are lower risk, yield better returns and offer greater opportunities. However, majority of young adults believed that real estate investment is only for the super rich. No! Real estate investing is for everyone and you too can start today especially with the affordability of housing units in an estate like Jakande Estate Oke Afa Isolo.

For a 2-yr program yes, but for a year program it is advisable to get round trip ticket to avoid being considered as a potential immigrant with no intention of returning to home country.

What is worth doing, is worth doing well to avoid had I know.


gretop86:
Hello house,

Please is it compulsory to buy a round trip/ 2-way travel ticket when traveling to Canada for a 1 year PGD program? I am resuming in January, 2025 and bought an Egypt air one way ticket thinking that I can buy a return ticket later but the online travel ticket platform I got the ticket from has been calling me saying that with a study visa, it is compulsory I buy a round trip/2 way ticket with Egypt air else I might have issues when traveling. Please is this true or do they just want to sell travel tickets.

I was told by a friend that I can buy a one way ticket on Egypt air if I have paid for my first semester in full and all I need to do is to have a print out of it with me. I don’t know how true this is.

Please kindly advise me on this to avoid issues when traveling. I look forward to your all responses. Thanks a lot.

Do you have a salary account showing Monies paid into the account from your dad's company as the manager (at least 6months salaries)?


MarksmanD:
I think you should wait for your GCMS notes to properly understand the reasons why you were denied. But from your explanation, it seems like you didn't document how your dad amassed his funds by submitting receipts, payslips and invoices. Then also for your home ties, I think you should state in your SOP that as a manager in your dad's company, you're already being groomed to replace your dad as the next CEO in his company and you're going to Canada to get the needed academic qualifications to give you the right knowledge to act effectively in this capacity when you return back to Nigeria to take over from your Dad. Do away with any work experience that doesn't tie you directly to your dad's company.

All over the world,people can liquidate landed asset to raise fund to meet immediate desired need. In that case you'll need to present copy of deed of Assignment prepared and stamped by a lawyer regarding the transaction showing your dad's name as the assignor and the buyer as assignee. The bank statement showing the buyer's name and the amount paid, copy of purchase receipt issued to the buyer by your dad and copy of the title documents on the land/property sold.

Car is a moveable asset bound to depreciate in value over time unlike land and building.


Edrick:
One more thing sir, in the future, would selling my father’s land and adding the proceeds from this sales to my POF be considered? Or would it still be termed a lump sum. I’m considering this option for my reapplication. There’s a couple of buildings also. Then there’s one of my mum’s car I wanted to use the first time, but since I wasn’t using her account,
I didn’t consider these things at all

1. It seem you're not married yet
2. What's your relationship with your sponsor
3. What are the documents presented to show financial buoyancy of your sponsor
4. Your employment status

[hai author=Islabelle post=132774470]Good morning guys, I just woke up to a refusal letter today from IRCC. This is my first application. I have attached the reason for the refusal below.

I submitted the sponsor’s statement of account tuning to over 23m. School fees of 9k were paid already. Investment certificate was also included. There was also land and business documents as well which i included as my proof of home ties.

Please can anyone help me on what the next step will be? Please. My school resumes in January and I’m wondering whether to apply again or just defer my admission.[/quote]
