University 1 at Manitoba is 4 years. It is very important you show total cost for first year -which is about 40- 45m in account backed by documentation.
You than provide documentary evidence of where expenses for subsequent years will come from.

Hi I got admitted to University 1 program of University of Manitoba. And I have paid and received my pal.

But I am having dilemma around getting POF, I am aware I'd be needing around that 40m. What are the options, you think I can get convincing documents to establish POF.

Also an uncle who is a citizen of US and earns over 100k usd was ready to stand as sponsor for me, although he doesn't have the 40m in his account, but he'd prepare a letter of sponsorship explaining that he is committed to sponsor me through his earnings and his 410k retirement benefits of over 40k use and he will provide those legal documents and demonstrate he has been supporting me.

Do you people think that can work or what is the alternative please?
Thanks

Hello gurus,
Pls help me 🙏🙏🙏.
My sibling has been admitted to Seneca college for may. The school has resumed and her visa request letter just came in. She's thinking of differing to fall to enable her prepare or even get another school.
Will Seneca refund her school fees if she successfully get admission into another school in fall? Or she'll have to forfeit the schools fees paid?
Also, does anyone know schools outside of Ontario giving admission to students who already have valid student visa. She's thinking of moving to another province that's less expensive.
Pls help

Hello my people, I need some advice. I helped a friend in putting in student permit. She her upfront medical in Lagos and was told she had TB and request for more test.

She has completed a scrotum test. Was wondering the effect of this to her application. But when she went to another clinic, they said she is fine.

milkay:
This is not far from it. The expired medical was taken taken. Once the new one is worked on, it will revert to PASSED

Oh I see. My first medical expires April 24, 2024. However, I did another one this year and uploaded it. It’s possible the VO looks at the old medical result which is why it went blank.

Hello everyone,

I recently received an offer for an MBA program to commence in the fall and have made a CAD$3000 admission deposit. My husband will be my financial sponsor as he has enough savings to cover my tuition fees as well as my own savings which will more than cover all living costs.

My husband intends to travel with me to Canada during the initial settling period to assist with the relocation process, but return to Nigeria to continue his full time job, and visit Canada periodically for the duration of my studies. He could apply for a visitor visa, however it takes up to a year to process based on testimony from relatives who’ve applied recently.

Would it be advisable for him to apply as a dependent as part of the study permit process even though he is also my sponsor and actually intends to remain in our home country due to his strong ties to his current job?

In my research so far, these seem to be my options
1. My husband applies as a dependent and we state in the study plan / cover letter that he intends to remain home for his full time job and only visit Canada occasionally.
2. Indicate he fully intends to move to Canada? But
my husband and his career in our home country are supposed to act as proof of home ties for the application. However, I fear stating he will move to Canada fully (while being my sponsor) can negatively affect the strength of the home ties in our application.

Would greatly appreciate getting advice on this, thanks everyone.

Hello everybody. Recently I've been so confused especially because of my academics.

Last year, after completing WAEC and NECO, my mom and I were talking about schooling abroad and we decided that I should make some research with my phone. This research started November 2023. After making my research for about 2 months, to understand the educational system in some countries like US, UK, Canada, the Caribbean and Australia, I finally came to a conclusion in January that I wanted to school in Canada so I did further research on Canadian Universities and finally decided and picked University of Manitoba. And then did further research on how to get a Canadian Study permit. (After going through alot of things I saw on the IRCC website, I finally understood, at least to an extent).

So I discussed with my parents about everything and what the whole process entails: from gaining admission into a DLI and applying for the Study permit, I told them the tuition was about $23,000 estimate and that I needed at least $20,630 as proof of funds. And after hearing that, they said it was ALOT of money. My dad told me to calculate everything I needed to get there and get back to him. After doing the whole calculation with my mom, I concluded that 60M Naira would be enough for the tuition and other fees, POF, accomodation, flight and others. Meanwhile, I had already submitted my application (did it myself), it was just my application fee left. We didn't want to pay the $120 application fee yet until we were sure that we would do the whole process.

I discussed with my parents and they said it was alot but they could try to get it. I honestly believe that studying abroad is not a do or die affair but is there any harm in trying? We could try, maybe it would turn out to be one of the best decisions for me and my family. If not, I already have back-up plans (I registered for JAMB) Other than that, my parents have always wanted to sponsor me to a school overseas (I'm the first child so yeah they've always wanted it).

They could get the money but I wanted to apply for September intake 2024 (because it's obviously the best intake) and I think it's a very short time interval because I should have drawn a study plan at least 2 years before I wanted to leave. I feel like if I rush things, my visa could get denied and it would just be a wastage of time and money.

I'm just 16 years old, I'll be 17 by 16th of June, 2024. And I don't really want to waste time in my education because the clock is ticking. So I don't know, should I just wait till next year, September 2025 or do you think I should go ahead with the process this year. I need honest opinions because it would be really useful. Alot of you are pretty much experienced than I and my parents are, so your advice would be really helpful.

Also, if you know any way I could be able to get proof of funds and tuition (it could be through a loan) and get visa approval, please share.

I recently got two admissions for my daughter to study undergraduate degree course one in manitoba , another one in ontario.

My question is if I accept the two offer while I use one to apply for visa , will this jeopardise her chance?

MatrixReloaded:
That above narrative is not true. 2yrs Tution fees amount is what you should put where indicated on the ime form, if you submit say today your pof remains 10kcdn.

Stardor:
No I didn't

Good morning gurus in the house ,
My daughter just submitted her passport last Friday (22/12/2024)
What’s the likelihood of passport getting returned for collection before new year?
Her flight to Vancouver is confirmed to depart on 2nd of January. Am aware VFS isn’t going to work on Xmas and Boxing Day. I am worried any delay may mean late travel, late course registration etc although my agent keeps assuring us that she will collect her passport this week but I am concerned

Stardor:
Can someone pls respond to my question..

Hello Everyone

My wife and kids got ppr for SOWP and Visit visa and submitted their passport on the 15th november for stamping , up till now they have not gotten feedback to pick up their passport, what might be wrong ?. i need assistance as i have already booked their tickets for december 4th

OralBoy:
I am in a bit of a dilemma and I don't know if this applies to me as well.

I was supposed to resume in September 2023 but my visa arrived in late October, my agent deferred my course but unfortunately, the school does not offer the course in January, so they moved it to September 2024.

My visa is only valid till July 31st 2024. What do I do? Can I resume early in Maybe June and apply for an extension or do I have to apply for a new visa?
