Unlikely. This question has been answered several times in prior pages. It was previously discussed here. Graham355: |
Yes you may. But it could take up to a week and half for me to respond unless if your SOP is already really good. It usually takes much more time to read and comment on an SOP that needs a lot of work. So if you want a quick(er) response, please endeavor to make it close to perfect and free of glaring errors. ![]() [quote author=Ajibade105 post=37637147][/quote] |
I agree with TheBae Cc: Pinkcandy97, Onyeoma3 TheBae: |
Apart from PayPal, Google Wallet, and Facebook Messenger money transfer, I don't know what email money transfer is. I do know that some banks (e.g. Bank of America) allow you to use your email address as a proxy for your bank account, but the money would still be sent traditionally, and both sender and recipient will need to have accounts in the same bank. You may need to ask the person in Canada to clarify exactly what he/she means. ayooluwatoni: |
Sure . I have a backlog of SOPs I'm helping people with though, so my response may be slow unless your SOP is already close to excellent.Beyeta: |
Hey bros, what are you intending to get done? Could you clarify what you mean by email money transfer? ayooluwatoni: |
Here it is. abbyyzino: |
Contact @ElCapt, he/she might also be able to direct you (or your uncle) to the right resources. Also, based on the broad and open-ended scope of your question, your uncle needs to do his own research (no disrespect intended) otherwise life in Canada will be difficult. Best ![]() awesule: |
Your two posts below are very ambiguous and confusing. Is it your brother or is it your uncle that needs help? You have not been specific on where your brother/uncle will be going to -- I hope you realize that Canada is an extremely large country with a coast to coast width of about 9,000km. You need to be more specific in order to get a helpful response. The extreme ambiguity of your posts raises a lot of questions... awesule: awesule: |
Show your sponsor the refund policy of the school. It states that $200 CAD will be subtracted if you are denied a visa and want a refund; you will get everything else back. Some things in life require taking risks... you need to convince your sponsor or apply to another school with better admission conditions. abbyyzino: |
Just as @omonjoe wrote, I think you should pay the money before applying to CIC. You would be taking an unnecessary risk if you don't follow the instructions on your admission letter, in which case the VO may be forced to assume that you really don't intend on going to the school. Generally, you don't need to pay part-tuition to get a TRV from CIC, however because your admission letter explicitly states that you should do this as condition of your offer this means that CIC may prejudice your application if you don't follow such instructions. But it all depends on the wording in your admission letter sha. Does the school require you pay the 6575 CAD as a condition of your admission, or do they merely suggest it? Either way, you may have to convince your sponsor to pay. Should you be denied a TRV, what is the refund policy of the school? abbyyzino: |
You can definitely get the visa even if you haven't traveled outside West Africa before. Lots of people on this thread have, including my sister. Just keep reading, and learn about how to package your app; this will up your chance significantly. Samtoby: |
Welcome Hope you are ready to read, read and read.For starters, go through @richcasey's links and then read the whole of Part 8 (or at the very least a minimum of any 100 consecutive pages of Part 8 ). I presume you would be applying for May 2016 or September 2016. It is already too late to apply for January 2016 since after your uni admission (which would likely take a minimum of 6-8 weeks to get) you would still have to apply for TRV (Temporary Resident Visa) which for Lagos applicants takes around 8 weeks. When did you finish secondary school? What course do you want to study? What are you currently doing? Keep in mind that CIC (Citizenship and Immigration Canada) doesn't like idle applicants so make sure you find something to get your hands busy with in the time being. After reading through Part 8, if you have any pressing questions come back and ask any informed questions that you might have. Samtoby: |
@Graviton2, mail seen. Will respond within the hour. |
I would like to share this piece of advice from one of the ogas in Part 7 with everyone going to Canada (or already arrived) this Fall. I read it a while ago and figured it would be immensely valuable to those who will be soon starting school in Canada. It is a long post but provides best tips on succeeding in Canada. Enjoy reading (credit to @Nuendo for the post). Thanks for the shout-outs @Howoheye and @Team12. ![]() |
For real? Abeg share your list of submitted documents including your course/program, when you finished BSc, what your BSc course was, etc... I'm assuming you're post-grad but I stand to be corrected. This is a statistically unlikely yet pleasant outcome. Wow big congrats to you!! tkdina: |
Welcome to North America! :-) Vancouver is a beautiful city with mild weather. deedee0: |
what a thread! lol |
@TempusQ, so sorry to hear about your delay o. Repackage, restrategize, and refire bro/sis. Also, when you get a chance to, please list your submitted documents so the house can possibly brainstorm with you and also learn. TempusQ: |
Sorry to hear about your delay, Ada. E go beta. ![]() ada4all: |
Thanks for pointing this out. I stand corrected. GboyegaD: |
Sorry to hear about your delay. Could you share your profile with the house so we could help brainstorm refire strategies and also learn? What program/course? UG or PG? if PG, what was your UG course and when did you graduate? Also pls list the documents you submitted. jesscaxt: |
@richcasey, you are welcome. Your contribution to this thread is indispensable bro. About visafile.info, I went through their site and did some google searches to see if there had been complaints about their credibility but I couldn't find any such complaints. |
Use this link to search for programs in Canada. To leverage a lot of info on this thread, go through the links posted by @richcasey. Also, if you want to divert into finance, I hope you have several strong compelling reasons for that, because when you apply for a Canada student visa you would have to write a statement of purpose to CIC convincingly stating why you are doing this course switch. Treat this very very importantly otherwise you will get a "Purpose of Visit" and "Length of Proposed Stay" visa denial. Also, as @TheBae said, using Google (and the links in the first paragraph above) effectively would answer many of your questions about what schools to look at. If you want more deep knowledge about Canada student visa application and school admission strategies, read as much of this thread as you can. Read, read, read, and keep reading. I recommend you at least start from page one of Part 8 and then you can come back to ask further questions if you have any. Best of luck. aliACCA: |
Could you share your profile? i.e. what course are you going for? How long is the program? Is it for undergrad or post-grad? What did you study for UG (assuming ur program is PG)? How long have u been working and what do you do? Who is your sponsor? How much is your program's annual tuition? Did you submit a personal SOA? What was the balance on your sponsor's SOA? Etc... Basically list all the documents you submitted with your previous application. With all this information, it would be possible to help you. PS: edit your previous post by blacking out your name and address from the CIC refusal form, or just remove from your post the first page of the refusal form. It is not always safe to provide your personal information on a public forum. Ogeske: |
@Graviton2, both moves are excelllent. |
It is difficult to answer your question because only you know why you picked your pastor/fellowship leader to write this reference letter for your TRV application. Why not draft something up and give to the recommender to modify and then sign? I'm not exactly sure if I know how your pastor's recommendation letter could help your TRV application. If you can share with the house why you chose him/her as a recommender, then maybe we would be able to brainstorm ideas for what the letter should contain. ddestiny: |
@saxywale I mostly agree with you. (edited) |
Oops. Lol IyaEjima: |
@oppytexu I second @TheBae's opinion. In particular, do away with any fast track advanced diploma program that is not a PGD, Post Degree Diploma, or Graduate Certificate. This is because the VO might automatically refuse the application for "Purpose of Visit" given that an advanced diploma (even if it fast track) is below a BSc (which you already have). Per length of SOP, I usually advice sticking to nothing more than two pages unless you are an exceptionally engaging writer. 500-700 words (a page to a page and half) is ideal but I realize that some applicants' personal stories may require more than that. Just make sure it is clear, concise, persuasive, engaging, and not boring to read. oppytexu: |
