Lol.... I didn't say it's a barrier
I didn't say he will be denied
All I said was, he should declare it even if it's not on their website.. Bro, are u saying a woman that is pregnant shouldn't declare her pregnancy mind you, this is not a health conditions o
Again, reading your reply.. you didn't help us by asking your friends if they declared it cos that's our bone of contention here?

During your medical examination, they will ask u if u have a health condition.. the cic medical request form will even ask you if u have any.
Like you advised, he should follow instincts... I rest my case on this..

Bro non of them declared anything because I asked them!, Asthma is a chronic disease and it is hereditary, you just have to manage it..So because you have ulcer or diabetes you will go and tell them u have those, these people are whites thus they are organized they know all these morethan us, as long as it is not stated as a threatening issue on their website, so why then will you have to shoot yourself at the leg, had it been it's that serious as u weigh it, they would have listed it long gone. Thanks

Hello Nairalanders

Please I want to ask
I was denied because of purpose of visit and family ties
I was going to a year college program wirh an intent of switching to a univeristy
My dad paid my full tution fee and I had someone in Canada to pay for a year full apartment for me and I also submitted the receipt

I felt thats one of the thing that made the VO raise an eyebrow cause he/she thought I wanted to use the college program as a means of immigration
My question is I'm applying soon and I'm not including the apartment receipt again
Will the VO go back to my old application to check my Documents?

Good morning mobi22,
I sincerely sympathize with you as regards to your application being refused.

First of all, request for a GCMS notes to know the reason you were denied, secondly state your profile(documents) u used in your application to apply. That way my senior colleagues in this forum will advise you better.

In light of this, you are in the right track just that your statement of purpose (SOP) wasn't convincing enough to the VO to believe that you are a genuine student, therefore he refused your application as he wants more clarification on your family background and your intent of choosing Canada as a study destination, so take your time and draft out a better SOP or LOE to address those issues raised by the VO.

Fast forward I want to know what college program you are going for, diploma, PGD/C etc.

And pls don't remove anything from your previous application, it was not the reason you were refused (Apartment receipt), you need to be consistent with your previous application. The VO has already stated his concerns, so don't contradict yourself focus more on drafting a great SOP or LOE to address those reasons.

SOP : statement of purpose
LOE : letter of explanation

All the best.

Dear all, Thanks for all you do.


My younger sister gained admission to do an MBA in Canada last year 2019. We applied for a visa (paper route). Unfortunately she was denied visa. Reasons 'She does not meet the financial requirement'.

In the application, I, her brother was the major sponsor. I included property documents worth about 40M Naira. I also submitted certificates of investment with some Agro-tech companies worth about 30 million Naira too. I submitted a personal bank statement with an account balance of about 20M Naira, and a bank statement of my business account with an account balance of 20M Naira. However, my personal account has funds coming and going in very often with very huge turnover since I run a crypto exchange platform.
My business account was registered as a general merchandise, import-export, buying and selling business 2 years ago. However these days I just use it for my crypto exchange business when I exhaust the limit on my personal account. So for both my personal accounts and business, we have funds coming in and going out. It doesn't really stay for long. However 1 month to submitting the application, I ensured I always left a tangible sum of 10-20M there. (seems this did not work with the visa denial).

Also, most of my funds are kept in crypto assets (BTC and USDT), so I could not include these other funds when submitting documents as her sponsor. Immediately after the denial, I opened another personal account and tried to deposit funds monthly there to build a history. I wanted to build these funds for 6 months and get it to about 40M Naira. I could only do this for 2 months and managed to deposit about 11M Naira before I had to withdraw all and convert to USD cash after I got intel of the Naira devaluation in March. However, when I was withdrawing the money from the account, I always included a comment on each transfer 'Purchase of dollar'.


The problem here is, we want to reapply for the visa next month. However, I am confused on how to prove to the consul and Canadian High Commission that I am capable of sponsoring her education in Canada. Most of my assets are in crypto and stored in 'cold and hard storage'. My company is not registered as a crypto company. There are no crypto laws in Nigeria currently. There is more than enough money to support her financially, but I do not know the best way to prove to the Canadian high commission that these funds are readily available.

I still have about 30M Naira in Agro-tech. However, majority of my capital remains in Crypto. Also, I am still very young. Does this play a role? How do I go about this? What's the best way to prove that I can sponsor her.

Your financial situation is strong enough to sponsor your sister to any level she wants, but then with all these money yet she was denied reason might be that they don't believe such money is real or available, due to our economic situation here and the level our country is in terms of corruption they hardly believe us even if you show 100million.
My advise is, make it simple pay to one of your account maybe one million, like that u can transfer to some People to deposit into your account like thrice a week till you reach to a reasonable amount you wish to achieve for her sponsorship.

Secondly, transfer the money she need for her living expenses to her personal account, pls if her account doesn't run in millions u pay in sparingly depending on the strength of her account.

Lastly, please make my last suggestion your second, pay her full tuition for the first academic year, because you have the money and that could convince the VO better that you are financially equipped. if you don't have the strength for the second suggestion I gave after paying the tuition, due to balance reduction, consider paying everything to your account and make use of your personal account as long as it is genuine they don't care to know where the money is coming from except they doubt your geniuety,and once again make sure you are consistent with your previous application and don't show too much documents be straight and direct to the requirements, since the main reason for her denial was based only on finance.

All the best!

If you are applying, u will need to make it known on the imm form u will fill, If u are successful and get a medical request, you must tell the physician about it. So my answer is yes you can apply... but be mindful of the province you choose because of the weather eg Quebec, is really cold.

Pls richad don't adhere to this advise, don't state anything on your form asthma is a kind of sickness that goes along with management, it is not that scary as people see it all you need is how to take care of your self and avoid being in a place that can trigger it on, and declaring it on your form will get the VO biased about your health condition, I have so many of my friends studying abroad at cold regions, Canada, America and Europe that are asthmatic and they are doing very fine looking so plumpy and healthy you need to see these guys photos, you need to change environment and it might even help you, just wear your sweater and carry your inhaler always but don't be surprised that you will be fine and may not have attacks as you use to, always pray to God for good health and guidance and you will be fine.

And never declare that on your form as it is never a barrier except you want it to be for you! You know, " what you believe in is what happens to you! " there is no two ways about it, change your mindset or stop listening to people and follow your own instincts! and for the records the bolded isn't declared as a health threatening situation on CIC website and for more clearer insight you can check on GCMS websites make google your friend, there you will see the type of sickness listed as threatening and financially demanding as the government of canada don't want any liability especially in the area of health situation, so my brother you are good to go.

Let us be properly guided.
All the best.

Thank you so much for this. Will do as you said. I was just worried about paying tuition because I didn’t want to start dragging Oyibo for refund. But I checked the school website and tuition is fully refundable. I will make arrangements to make the school fees payment.

Don't mention...

Reasons for refusal were the same generic reasons:
1. Not convinced I will leave Canada based on current employment status.
2. Not convinced I have enough funds.

Sponsor (close relative with same surname) is a business man. He has transferred the entire tuition and upkeep for the 1st year into my account since January. Supported with his business account with very healthy inflow and outflow of over 50m each month, and his personal account with over 40m balance. So I don’t know what other funds are required.







My one coin is: request for GCMS notes for your application(am glad you have done that already to understand reasons behind your denials).

Reapply and pay your full tuition for the first academic year and have sufficient funds for your living expenses maybe this time you might consider getting a domiciliary account and put your 10,000 worth of Canadian dollars there and have like 2million or more in your personal statement of account for your travels and other things, you know they appreciate it more if it is from direct sponsor that is what I feel though(open for correction) once is relative or uncle or frnd, I'll advise you to tell the person to pay the full tuition for your program and transfer other funds to you! Because they feel like the person will take his funds back once you are approved.
So it's always advisable to encourage your sponsor especially when the sponsor is uncle or
aunt or others to pay full tuition for that year not even first semester but first semester can work but full tuition is stronger in my own opinion, and carefully get a letter of sponsorship from him or her stating why he or she is funding your studies while you work on your SOP or LOE. (That is if you wish to maintain him or her as sponsor o, otherwise use your hubby as co-sponsor)
Let it be somewhat of self sponsor on your second application and while your husband stands as your co-sponsor, your relative can be paying small small money to your husband account Atleast balance of 3m in your husband account can do, he might choose to pay in one million Naira into your account for your flight or transportation, at least his own support while you can have the minimum of 2m in your personal account and show proof of the money hus transferred to you even if he has 2m left after making the transaction, no problem. They don't care if your account runs in billions you just need to be real and show a great sign or interest that your really want to attain that qualification though.

Pls back it up with prayers..

All the Best!.

Flywire corporation is an international payment facilitator that allows you to pay your Curtin tuition fees securely from overseas, often in your local currency.

Usually, payments arrive the school within 3 to 5 business days. The rate of flywire is also expensive when weighed with the currency conversion rate between Dollar $ and Naira N. More so, when using flywire you will be issued a unique payment reference I.D which looks like this REG6788999 and a five (5) days expiration date. Thus it is highly expected that your bank should carry out the international transaction/payment before the stipulated deadline of this reference number from flywire.

If you have a very trusted and reliable fellow in Canada it will pay you to use the person than using flywire and it will also be cheaper for you and cut over 30k - 50k in naira or more depending on the amount you intend to pay as your tuition to the school in Canada.

It will end in praises.

Pls house help me out, how do I reapply and prove that I have a genuine reason for applying for PGC after I have obtained MBA here in Nigeria. I have made the mistake of mentioning the MBA in the first application and I can't remove it again. I was refused based on travel history and purpose of visit and I wish to try this last time before giving up. Anyone with suggestions on these two exceptions.NB. I have tra velled only once to the UK in 2014.

Just don't talk about it in your next application, don't mention anything about your MBA acquisition as u apply the third time, as the VO that handled your application previously will be different from the one that will handle it now, the only thing I will advise you to do so is to try nd reconstruct your SOP stronger this time, u can mention some of the courses in your proposed program that tickles your fancy, u can browse about them nd then say how it's knowledge will mek u a hot cake in your country u can find a better word though to Mek it catchy.

Secondly , if you paid part tuition which is otherwise known as tuition deposit(mandatory payment, paid after securing admission) all this while, try and pay your first semester this time b4 reapplying, and if you have paid first semester tuition lately, try and pay the full year tuition, and have sufficient funds to cover for your stay and otherwise.

Lastly, travel history can be waved if the above mentioned is achieved as it is never a very strong reason for visa dismissal, but all the same mention to them you have traveled to UK and u didn't over stay your visa (using bold fonts,), u mention reason y you traveld nd mention y u haven't traveled again since then maybe because of work or otherwise until now,maybe because u need an upgrade in your career, u know better etc.

You can gv it a little tym b4 u apply ND see if Canada will ease it's restrictions, while you gather all the necessary documents u need.
My advise though, your choice is your best bet!

All the best!

Good day,

I will like to get some clarifications

1.Please I will like to ask if someone can do biometrics and upload every necessary documents at the point of application for the study permit or one has to wait for them to request for it.

2. I have OND and BSc in computer science but I have a catering business of my own which have been running for years but just got registered last year December, and also got admission at NBCC for culinary arts program(1yr) which is related to my business. Do I need to upload my transcripts for OND and BSc that isn't related to my new program? I got admission with just my waec.

3. I want to sponsor myself, I have a corporate acct running with sufficient amount for my stay and tuition, accommodation and transportation to and fro. My registered business will be 6mnths by June and my sch section resumes by September. Is June too late to apply?

Please your swift response will be highly appreciated.

Thank you guys.


You will have to apply first, the will be the one to ask you to go nd hve your biometrics

No bro that is not correct, I thought as much because I know it's only advanced diploma that has a 3years duration to complete, b4 I digressed Advanced diploma is not the same with PGD which is Post Graduate Diploma you can only gain admission into a pgd program only if you have completed your diploma, hnd or first degree while you can gain that of the Subject only with your waec.

The tuition was 15kcad.. but for Conestoga, u pay a deposit of 1500cad subsequently you pay the balance. We paid $1500cad and got the receipt the next day. The course is a 3yrs course. The brother had a dollar acct of $7k and Nigerian account bal of 3-4m. The applicant had a person bal of 500k.. So we figured, that was enough to cater for the tuition fee balance and part of the living expenses, the 500k is able to cater for the other part of the living expenses.
I feel for his application, it's the sop that gave us the needed boost.. I didn't talk about his finances or how much was sidelined for wat purpose... I spent more time to avoid purpose of visit.

You said the PGD course is 3years program?
But on their website the supply course is actuallu 1 year program, I don't really think if there is any PGD program that is 3years the highest you can go is 1year except u are talking about advanced diploma

2. According to the Canadian immigration requirement for a student visa, I need to show funds for year one alone. Do i need to show funds for year 2 also?

Thanks in anticipation.
