We should be mindful of the barrage of dossiers [/b]we submit for our study permit application. The more documents you submit is the more you give tbe [b]VOs Chance to further scrutinize your application. Just submit only the relevant documents needed to support your claim. Imagine an applicant claiming a strong home tie by submitting land and house documents also ignorantly submitted house rent receipts. If you truly own a house, why the house rent receipts?
Look, know matter the volume of docs you submit, the impression the visa officers have about Nigeria is that most of our docunents are fake. The onus is now on you to logically present your case to the VO to convince him/her that you are a bonafide student not an immigrant.

@Senatorkolade
i choose to reply your post to clarify some of your ideas, but its not my type of person.
i wish for a scenario where everyone that applies for a TRV gets it by presenting a logical case.
Let me infer that your post has some comments to my application, it may also not be, but I will make some clarity
for the bolded above, the VOs job are meant to scrutinize applications and thats what we pay for to give them a job.
What is relevant to you could not be relevant to me
Would you know if the rent receipts are meant to explain source of funds in my account statement? In my case, they were.
For those who choose to present fake documents, do you feel "SAD" if your application is rejected?. I am pretty sure you will be happy to blame only yourself.
On a lighter note, a colleague and I applied same with same application format, got medical call same day and updated passed a day interval, he got his approval 2 weeks after medical passed.
In my opinion,i felt my case file was forgotten until i sent CSE and emails, and a week after i got my approval.
My advice, what ever will make your application sell and is appropriate, please do.
I hope someday someone will find one useful item in my application.
I wish all TRV hopefuls a successful application. Amen

Your profile is intimidating brother, congratulation once again.

I will start by saying a big “THANK YOU”, to MichV & Thesoj, they guided me through my visa SOP review. I wish I can pay for your time, your support will never be forgotten.
@ MichV, there are no words eloquent enough to thank you, but I simply say “THANK YOU”. I very much miss you on this forum. You have been there all through to check on my progress. Your words of encouragement were great.
@ thesoj, after you reviewed my SOP, I knew my draft SOP was a child’s play. Plenty thanks for constructive feedback you gave. Very Much Valued and It made a difference.
@ justwise, the administrator of this forum, God bless you for creating this platform. To others in this forum that contributed in one way or the other to my success, God sees your labour of love and HE is rewarding you.
To the Gurus in the house, just too numerous to mention that took out time out of very busy schedule, thanks for your selfless efforts. God bless you real good.
I read every page from Canadian student visa thread part 1- 11 and joined part 12 after my application.
My ten kobo advice for all that are yet to submit their application, please do read the past threads, you can do an application yourself while God crowns all efforts you have made. No two applications are similar but you will see scenarios that fit your person. Read the info on the CIC webpage, Google and read the past threads, you should be 90% ready to give in a tight application while the “GURUS” will clarify grey areas.
Personally, I do not like to respond when I see questions that have been answered over and over on this thread. On a lighter note, Most Nigerians don’t just like to look up for information but prefer to be spoon fed.

As it’s the tradition here, I will share my profile, timelines and documents submitted for my offline application:
