Okay. Will check it out.

That's nice. He has been really helpful here.

Josh121:
I just sent you a pm, I recent got an offer with fanshawe. @bullstriker help me with the application for free, anyone can contact him

Yes, you would need an agent to apply to Fanshawe college but 250k is outrageous. You can use applyboard.com yourself and they would stand as your agent.

I'm currently in Fanshawe college and we have a group already. You can send me a mail with your number so I can add you up.

Bernice123456:
Congratulations on your PPR
PLEASE if I may ask, did you use an agent to apply to Fanshawe college?

I having a difficult time finding one who doesn't charge so much. The last agent I called said 250,000 was her fee

You're welcome. Amen. And you too.

All the best.

@Tgbengus151
Thank you very much and may God bless you.

Definitely, your sibling can be your sponsor. He/she needs to show a solid bank statement, letter of sponsorship and/or affidavit of support, document relating to his/her work/business, prove to show that you guys are truly related like same surname/family tree etc.

ufoms:
Good day to everyone. I want to make enquiry concerning this Canadian visa proof of fund issue. Can my sibling be my major sponsor? Am married and will want to apply along with my hubby. Do u think that will work out? Husband is just salary earner. Advice please. Thank u.

A return ticket is not compulsory but if you aim at getting PTA, you will need it.

I would suggest Ethiopian airlines or Egyptair.

AyoDeeeee:
Please i have a question, i would be travelling to Sasktoon February ending and about to book flights.

My study duration is 18month
1. Must i book for a return flight?
2. Which flight is pocket friendly for those with only Nigerian passport and no other visa expect CAD study permit.

A bank letter of reference that signifies that he's the sole signatory to his account.

Iamtombrown:
Hello Gurus in the house,please I’d like to know if there’s anything I’d need to attach anything else to the bank statement and affidavit of support and letter of sponsorship that my uncle is using to sponsor me.
A timely answer would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

You're welcome.

But in some cases, their expertise plays a significant role in the application and that's if he/she knows her onions.

Wish him the very best.

Winnerpoks:
Thanks so much for this, I really appreciate. I thought those agents always have a specific way of making the application look so sweet. I'll tell the fellow to try DIY

By requesting for it. Because you would surely need it when you're here at the port of entry before receiving your study permit.

Keep sending them webforms/mails regarding it and I believe it will drop on your portal.

ANGELAFELIX:
Anyone?

That's just it. Did it in the same Ikeja High court axis.

HazeeyzaH:
Exactly same amount i did mine... i typed and printed it then took it to ikeja high court to get it notarized.

Basically the difference is the availability of information. Some of these agents are quite good in this while some are still a novice, so it depends on who your agent is. To me, if you pay enough attention here, ask questions, dedicate time to read previous threads, you will get a solid information regarding the whole study visa application and you can decide to DIY.

Nevertheless, even if you use the service of an agent, ensure that you're actively involved in it as well because some of them sef no sabi. Na just hustle to dem. So don't be left in the dark or just leave everything in the hands of the agent.

Winnerpoks:
Hi guys, someone asked me for the difference between using an Agent and doing it yourself, who knows the difference between both? He wants to use Maple consult but it's way to expensive for him, do these agents add any special flavour to the application or what exactly is the difference?

That's such an outrageous amount. I would advise you to check up for samples of these deed of gift online, download several formats and just tailor it to your taste. After this, you can print it out and take it to the high court or notary public to have it stamped.

I did the deed of gift I used in my application by myself and only spent #1500 to get it notarized. Although it was a monetary deed of gift and not for Landed property. I can send you my format I remodified myself and you can find a way to personalise it with your own information.

Cuppycak3:
Thanks I appreciate your response
Please here’s my contact 08037631874 can you message me on WhatsApp the contact of the lawyer cuz the one I saw is telling me 300k for a gift deed for one of my dad’s property to be in my name and he is saying the deed has to be registered hence the price please I’ll love to know if anyone else has experienced this thanks.

Mine took about 3 days. So it depends.

Awesomegod2023:
Please how long does it take after passport submission in person in Lagos.

Why won't "they" remove it? You've never contributed to the thread in whatsoever way but you decided to divert from the purpose of the thread and use it as a means of advertising your products. Moreover, you created the account today and there's a big possiblity that you might be a scam. Or who can vouch for your credibility here?

Mydayofjoy1:
Before traveling to Canada right now you should know that the weather over there is very coald. In other words why not get good and quality winter wears before traveling.
If you are wondering were will you get such in Lagos hmmm, worry no more because i sell quality winter wears for a living. Not just the jacket but also boots,gloves head warmer and the more. My shop na one stop shop because we go even provide you with free and delicious food with varieties to choose from. If you are opportune to see this post save my number because very soon nairaland people go come and remove it. My number is 09030461246 you can call or whatsapp always available is my second name lol

By packing a POF, hope s/he isn't going to formulate a fake account statements for you and present it as something genuine? You need to be careful because this is usually the reason why most people get a 5 year ban.

You can ask around for companies that can fund your personal account and then you pay them some certain percent. That's still better.

cadno:
Hello good people, please I need some clearification::

Who Can help me with contact an agent who Can package POF ( proof of Fund ) for a prospective PGD College applicant in Canada?

Thanks

Amen. Thank you.

RelaxingEnd actually did the whole surfing the internet to get an accomodation. It was majorly an online thingy. You can check out kijiji.ca, 4rent.ca, rentfaster.ca.

Athough we had a lady on ground who helped us to physically check those houses and connected us with this landlord.

TheHamzy:
Congratulations. May Canada favour you in all ways.

Please how did you get accommodation prior to travelling? Cos I’ve been searching all to no avail, I’ll be travelling in May.

Landing Gist!!!

To the glory of God, my fourth application was granted on the 30th of November after being refused 3 times and judicial review not granted. I eventually moved on the 29th of December and it was a smooth journey down here when I arrived on Thursday.

My flight to Addis Ababa was 1:40pm but I was already in MMIA around 10am with my fam. Started the whole check-in processing, did the weight thing and my both luggages were a bit above 23kg but normal Naija level, we found a way to sort that out. I had a little difficulty getting my boarding pass at first because my return date exceeded my passport expiry date but it was eventually sorted out too. After having my boarding pass, I went back outside to take pictures with my family and it was an emotional moment but this is what we've all being praying for. I said my goodbye and went back to face the journey ahead of me.

We eventually took off around 2pm, it was a cool 5 hours journey down to Addis Ababa. I landed there, had a layover of about an hour and the long journey began. We took off from Addis Ababa for about 8 hours on air and had a stopover for about an hour in Dublin for refueling. Then we took off again down to Toronto. I really enjoyed the flight, Ethiopian airlines cabin crew sabi take care of person. Those ladies are lovely and quite approachable. I chop, watch movie, press phone tire. Na whenever I happen to doze off dem go carry something come, the lovely lady beside go wake up say dem don bring food if I want or not. Lmao. I no want ke? Sleep go clear for my eyes and I go collect the food chop. Had rice, chicken, cake, bread, biscuit, drank juice, coffee, etc. The long flight down to Toronto was so sweet but omo, e far ooo.

To the glory of God, I arrived in YYZ around 9am Toronto time. We alighted and I quickly went for the study permit stuff. Did a declaration, received my study permit without any questions from the officer. I only presented my Letter of Introduction (the front page) and my passport.

I quickly dashed off to the luggage area. Naso I see my hand luggage first but my 2 major bags con become wahala but I eventually saw both bags. When I sighted the Indians gathering around on a queue one side I sharply asked what's it about and I was told it's for SIN. I waited for about an hour plus and got my SIN over there in the airport. My darling uncle was around to pick me up and from there we went to the store to get my SIM card/number too. We got home to his place in Milton and I was heartily received by my folks. Around evening, we went to the bank to open my account and I sorted that out too same day.

Now I'm in my London, Ontario to begin my classes in Fanshawe college this week. RelaxingEnd and myself got an apartment together prior to coming here. Such a great guy. Omo, but why's no one talking about how tedious it is to get an accomodation? We eventually got a good offer and now our journey in Maple land is about to begin. May the Lord guide our steps in this new sojourn.

I return all glory to God Almighty for making this Canadian dream successful for me because it wasn't an easy feat but with preseverance, patience, faith, encouragement and God's grace, it finally worked out in my favour.

It's a new phase of life and in this new year and years to come in this new land shall be favourable to me. Ilu yi a san mi, a gbe mi lagbara Ase Edumare.

A big Thank you to everyone because I can't seem to talk enough about how much information I got here.

I wish everyone expecting a response a positive reply (PPR) and I wish those still gathering their documents the very best too.

Everything go eventually make sense!

Have you gotten your stamped passport back? Because I heard Abuja is faster than Lagos.

apeja2017:
We submitted the same day. But my was in Abuja. When was the last time you got notified that it has gotten to vac.

PPR Alert guys!

Application submitted: August 2nd
PPR Dropped: November 30th.

I was ushered into the new month with such good news. It was my fourth application. The feeling has been amazing since last night. I pray everyone experience this overwhelming joy.

I will provide my documents submitted but I need to be updated on if i can walk-in to submit my passport in the Vfs office in Lagos tomorrow and the necessary documents. I have also misplaced the yellow biometrics slip, how can i rectify that?

The IRCC that will send you a PPR (request for your passport) will most likely be the one in Nairobi but your passport will be stamped at the Canadian VAC center in Lagos or Abuja.

NotaMod:
Quick question house.

When Canadian embassy request for passport? Is it either Kenya or south Africa? They no longer stamp in their Nigerian office?


Just inquiring on behalf of a friend.

Yep, you are on the right track. You can also add a miscellaneous of about $2-3kCAD and some estimated amount to serve as your airfare as well.

MsLane:
Hello guys,

I got admitted to Fleming College to study Project Management (1Yr or 8months) and to Seneca College (2yrs) to study Business Marketing.
Both courses are because I am working as a Product Manager in Marketing.
I want to know if after paying the tuition deposit for Seneca for 1st semester, the POF should show for 2years living expense and 3 semester balance. Am I correct?

Even with the #9290 calculation, what you paid still wasn't enough. You still have a balance of #120. I am trying to figure out why you couldn't even sum it up and just pay 30k let them keep the change instead of short-paying them with an amount that isn't even the actual amount. After all the stress involved in this Canada japa hustle, this should be the bottom barrel of issue to have with them.

It is well.

Just pay them their balance so your passports can be treated.

Vecas:
Good day everyone.
I sent ny passport and my kids to vfs office yesterday and paid 9290 each. Total of 27750.
I got a call today that I have to buy 9990 each .
Otherwise they won't treat the passport.
M just confused .

Does the process involve this .

Kindly advise ..thanks

When did you submitted your application?

What you need to do next is to exercise patience and remain positive. And if your application has passed the 13 weeks processing time, you can be contacting them through the webform/email to get an update on your application.

Introvert56:
I have had a similar experience. I did my upfront medical on 8 October and it was uploaded as passed on October 24. I don't know what to expect next.

Yeah, you will likely need a transit visa for a layover in the United States.

Nerd95:
Gurus, I've got a question please.

Do I need a transit visa if my flight would layover in the US for 2hrs 55mins? I am going to Toronto, Canada with a student visa.
I booked a flight with KLM and a friend told me I would need a transit visa for US. Please, is this true?

It is not a compulsory document. But if you are a first time applicant, you can decide to include it.

Abeg441:
Hello house, please is Police Clearance Certificate compulsory?


@olokings
@makano
@gidraft
@frankrobnn
@bullstriker

Sorry about the refusal.

1. You didn't show any documentation to show your host/sponsor's source of income: if he/she is into a business, you could have submitted the CAC certificate, receipt, pictures etc. If s/he happens to be an employee, you could have submitted a work ID and any other doc that relates the person with the job.

If you declared any asset like a land/house, you should have included the survey plan, CofO, etc.

2. The closing balance of the SOA you submitted isn't sufficient enough to cover your entire living expenses (and maybe your tuition fee as well if it is not yet paid).

You need to share all you did regarding the POF part of your application.

You can also order for the GCMS note to get a concise explanation directly from the visa officer.

Popson09:
I need help in responding to this pls
My application for study permit was rejected.

Amen. Thank you.

Definitely, we will all testify by God's Grace.

Esanson:
ppr is coming august just chill everyone will testify.

Passing the medicals is an essential part of the whole thing but it doesn't guarantee the success of the visa since it is an upfront medical and not a medical request because they will review other docs as well. Since you submitted just a month ago, you should look forward to getting a positive response from them in a month, two months, three months or more - because it takes two months and above before they finalize most applications.

Introvert56:
Good morning.

Please I applied for my Canada study visa at the end of last month and I also did my biometrics and upfront medicals on the last day of September.

I signed into my portal yesterday and I saw that my medical results have been reviewed and that I passed the medicals.

Please I want to find out if this means my Visa will be issued or if it may still take a while as every other thing is still showing under review.

Has anybody had a similar experience with upfront medicals?

Also, I want to find out if medicals still normally get reviewed even when they are denying you visa

Oh, I did mine on the 29th of September and it was updated on October 17th. Application submitted on the 2nd of August.

Msveev:
Nothing at all. Only biometrics updated and I did upfront medicals August 1st. When did you do your medicals?

Okay. No probs. You can check your mail.

Enitsua3M:
Hello I would like to be added to the Fanshawe WhatsApp group for May 23

No news from my side yet other than my medicals being updated two weeks ago. Hoping for the good news anytime soon.

How about you?

Msveev:
Any news for August Applicant. It's almost 13weeks

Damn, this is already taking a toll on you. I had my fair share of this canada japa wahala when my third application got refused last year. Just relax yourself, reply the procedural letter with enough sincerity/explanation, take your mind off this for some time and hope for a positive response from them.

All the best.

SoftdudeKay:
Trust me, I am not sleeping truly. I haven’t slept up to 20hrs since I received this letter on Saturday.

Now this is the issue here: I already have UK ban due to an agent’s stupidity. I applied for a visit visa in 2019 and submitted my original bank statement but guess what? The bastard went to fudge a statement which I didn’t know about, it resulted to UK giving me 10 years ban and this year’s December would make it 3 years. And due to my own stupidity, I trusted another agent with the visit visa to Canada in 2020 and the application fee was reversed back to him and I didn’t know about it until now. Now that this my current study application that I did by myself is about to work out, but that silly error on the 2020 application is about to ruin my chance and a possible ban too. My wife would be relocating to the UK next week Thursday (exactly a week today) as a registered nurse, we haven’t been able to have a good time together since I received this procedural fairness letter.

I look at my wife that we just got married last month and I want to express my feelings on how much I would miss her but damn!!! Something inside of me is killing me so badly that I can’t even express my feelings and our excitement for her new job in the UK and her departure is affected as a family, obviously my laughter and smiles are forced and unreal because I’m hurting inside and she knows. We now have to start looking at UK for me again.

God please, I come before you with Matthew 7:7-8 that says, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”

Please, wipe our tears and answer all our prayers, open the doors of Canada to us all on this platform through Jesus Christ your only son. AMEN

1. You will show previous balance of 4-6 months till the day you printed your statement of account.

2. Nope. Your POF is one of the essential documents.

3. It is best advisable that it stays there pending when you get a response from the embassy because sometimes they can ask for a recent SOA later.

4. You can go for your biometrics done after you have submitted your application and PCC is not a compulsory document.

5. Just the normal passport photograph that is clear enough.

It seem you don't have the POF in place. I would advise you to keep nurturing it till it matures enough to cover your entire living expenses and school fees, then you submit your application. And be prepared to leave it there till when you get a final decision.

profeddor15:
Good morning my seniors in the house, please i seriously need your assistance on the issue of proof of funds and i will be glad for your kind encouragement.
1. How do i present 6months bank statement for my application, is it that i will leave the money in my account for six months before i start my application or the bank account details will show six months upfront?.
2. Can i start my application without the inclusion of POF till it mature for six months?.
3. Since the processing time is 13weeks, is there any effect on the six months bank statement or should be there till I'm cleared from embassy?.
4. Do i need to do my biometrics and police character certificate before i start my application or is upon their request?.
5. What's the best place to get the passport photograph requested for the application by Visa application center?.
I will be glad for your enlightenment especially on the issue of proof of funds and application proper in order to be on a save side.
Thanks and God bless you all.
