JoseJonn:

bbclue:



Nawa ooooo......just like that....everything a business owner has is listen in document checklist....including tax certificate....even if the person is not paying tax he should aleast have the certificate that his company have registered with firs/lirs

Austinpee4:

I would say fund be transferred to applicant or if possible,in convertible currency or sponsor make full fees payment. Company account statements easily do not fly with officers. There is alot to prove when using one. Access to funds by the applicant is key in availability of funds. Available balance in a company's account would mean nothing if there is no strong evidence showing applicant can access it.

Also, tax clearance won't matter much if applicant has shown that he/she will access or have accessed funds declared. This is the most important thing.

Regards.

Austinpee4:

Letter of sponsorship and personal account statements are the best to go with. Company statement of account would suffice only when the sponsor is the sole signatory and also have shown evidence on how the company would operate well once funds are removed from it's account.

Sponsorship letter can be written and signed on a plain paper. Main thing is that it shows the applicants dad is sponsor and not the company.

It will help for letter of sponsorship to be on sponsor letterhead or notarized affidavit. CAC certificate, sponsor’s SOA and tax clearance.

Please where did you get your information? Many have presented foreign bank statements and letters and scaled through. In fact I will assert that they have more credibility weight given to them than Nigerian banks.

Put all your documents in a single Word document, save it as a pdf file. Then to compress, use smallpdf.com
Works like magic.

This is the official financial requirement out of Lagos. 3 months of bank statement is the word on the street.

Uchboggy,

6-4 months bank statement is the basic requirement by cic. 3 months is also acceptable(to an extent).

I don't have expertise in compressing a document using a zip file. I thought that all online application documents are meant to be in PDF format and JPEG for passport photographs.
I'll recommend you use sites like www.ilovepdf.com and www.smallpdf.com any of them will be a remedy to your problem.

Hi guys..i just printed my sponsor's soa today and there's a 2m that was deposited into his account today making his balance 2m plus...my question is will this be regarded as lump sum as the highest deposit he has received is 5.7m and he earns 3m monthly
....

NB: I'll be submitting tomorrow

jnyuwa02:


It is officially recommended you submit at least 3 months worth of bank statements. But feel free to submit as much as required to show the depth of your financial strength. Some feel 6 months does that. Some feel one year does that.

Uchboggy:
Please gurus, quick question, is it a rule or is it stated expressly that the statement of account should be 6months? Whatt if it’s 3months ? 6month is way too bulky for online route.

Also is it possible to use zip file to compress the documents and upload the zip file so as to accommodate many documents?

1. Bro, CIC doesn't request for medical insurance for visa application. You don't need it.

2. Study leave isn't a strong homepie. If your company can do without you for duration of your studies, you can as well find a better job. Sometimes, depending on the length of your study, study leave can cast a doubt on your application.

If you have another more convincing hometie, go ahead and add it

Uchboggy:


hello Gurus,

Please does the applicant need a medical insurance as part of documents to submit at the point of application(online route)? because an agent was talking about IGI and all.

Also, Im hearing people talk about home Ties, in the case of my wife-to-be application, her bro is her sponsor and her office has granted her study leave in writing, does she still need any home ties again? if yes, what suggestions?

On point 2. There is actually a tab for SOP or LOE on the online application. It is listed as Client Information, if you click on the question mark by the side it tells you what the tabs are for.

1. The major difference between the online and paper route is CONVENIENCE. Both undergo same review and processing time. However, a thing or two to note in difference is the fact that an online application can be processed anywhere around the world where there is a Canadian visa office. Secondly, for voluminous documentation in support of an application, it is advisable to use the paper route as there is a limitation of 4mb(size) per tab for upload of documents using the online route. Also, you would get readily assistance from workers of VFS in arranging your documents.(The online is also straight forward if you can follow the instructions and guiding).

If you apply online, VFS comes in when you receive an instruction in your account to give your biometrics at the nearest VFS office. Also, VFS or the embassy would come in when your application has been approved and you have been instructed to submit your original passport.

2. There is no tab for SOP. The best way to attach it is to merge it with other documents say letter of acceptance and upload in the tab provided.

Medical test comes in either prior submitting your application or when you have been instructed by the visa office. If you intend to do it prior submitting(Upfront), you would visit the approved panel physician(Check IRCC's website for your location) and a test will be conducted. At the end of the test, a document will be handed over to you which contains your IME(Immigration medical examination) code that would be used by the visa office to locate your medical result on their database once the panel physician uploads it.

3. You cannot "package" her elder brother without him having intentions to actually sponsor her. There would be more than packaging on their end. He will have to show commitment other than stating his willingness to sponsor. Also, he will have to show sources and proof of his income claimed as well as how funds was accumulated. If he claims to be an employee, he would have to show evidence of being employed(payslips,employment letter, bank statement showing deposits of salary over a period of time, promotion letters etc). Note that these documents are important when proving employment. He must provide as much as he can to show genuineness of claim.

4. A letter from the bank showing she is an employee would suffice and possibly that they are aware of her trip. This is not the EE process where duties has to be specified.

Lastly and importantly, she must ensure and demonstrate that she intends to return upon completion of her study.

All the best to you two.

Regards.

The idea of including a statement of account is to show availability of funds for your your study(first year) ,living expenses as well as showing your overall financial strength. If the required funds is in either of the accounts, use any. However, you MUST show proof or sources of transactions in the account to buttress any claim you are making.
