Glad to hear, your welcome. I’m excellent by God’s Grace

May I know why you asked? Just remove English teacher from that list. Nigerians can't compete with native English speakers there especially if they have a Nigerian accent.

Permit me caution you to kindly choose your words wisely when responding/talking to people. You may have a good case but ruin it with wrong use of words. Yes it’s a faceless forum but we don’t know who is on the other end of the keyboard, main reason we ought to talk to people respectfully and politely. I’m not saying this only because of this response but what I’ve observed/noticed over time. I may not be talking all the time but I’m very observant.
I stand to be corrected if I’m wrong.

The bolded will result in refusal under paragraph 220 (a) (b) (c) of IRPA ..applicant must satisfy an officer that they have sufficient funds without working in canada to maintain and accommodate themselves and any family member accompanying them to canada..
Furthermore co op was designed to obtain work experience in canada..

Thanks for the clarification I appreciate your response. GOD bless you

Nazkid1:
Please house i was denied on Monday, how can i order for a GCMS note?

So sorry may God make things easier for you.

cooooooks:
I don't think you understood. I'm saying to show more than enough funds for the months to live in Canada as well as the tuition (after the scholarship is factored in). Then, the co-op money could be factored in as an extra, not necessary for life

He seems to be suggesting altering bank statement to show a lot of money, much more than is necessary. Based on the particular case, he has a scholarship, his actual tuition fees are relatively low. The main thing is to show enough funds for living expenses while simultaneously explaining that in fact, he has started studies online.

People have also been refused when they had large POFs but could not prove the source or the reason they were leaving Nigeria despite all that money.

YOUR TOO MUCH. GOD BLESS YOU SIR

bepositive11:


Please, don't make things worse for us. We've noticed a trend of refusals due to insufficient financial assets even when there's more than enough funds. If you should submit an altered account statement, you'll only make IRCC put us Nigerians under even more scrutiny.

And not only will you be banned from Canada, they will inform US, UK, Australia, and New Zealand about your fraud, and all those countries will likely refuse your future visa applications too.

I can't understand why you would even consider doing such a thing. Why not work for some time and save up, then apply when you have enough?

IRCC has these financial checks in place for our own benefit. If you don't have enough money to sustain yourself, how can you survive in Canada? You'll be driven to work illegally, which will only make matters worse for everyone.

Please, don't do it. IRCC will definitely check with your bank and you will get caught.

Thanks for your response.
I haven’t done it.
I quoted you on my response to @Olokings read it , to further understand me thanks.

cooooooks:
IRCC gets roughly $100 million a year from govt. This is in addition to ALL the monies generated from all the different application and penalty (if you apply late while in Canada) fees. If you use a fake/modified/altered account statement, they will catch you.

The funds you need are under $10,000 or max $15,000. You already have a scholarship and have started studies online. This shows that education is more important, not moving to Canada. This will also reduce the amount of months you need to prove

You have NOT yet submitted an application. Your application is mostly for the Co-op work permit. You may include co-op earnings (perhaps using 20% higher than min wage as a min reference).

- You need to submit NOW
- Explain that since you have started studies online, months in Nigeria should not be counted towards your $1,000 monthly need.
- Have enough funds to cover: fees that have not yet been paid, 18 to 24 months of living expenses, explain that your co-op will afford you the opportunity to work for X number of weeks (as specified in your admission letter); explain that this should also be considered a source of funds (using 1.2 x min wage x X weeks).
- Go straight with Canada, not the corners my bro.

Look at this site for quick info on co-op: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/work/intern.html

Thank you my Boss always appreciate your efforts God bless you. Then I’ll have to start building the POF now too right? The company I for to is charging 3.5% interest while Naija digital (I found their here on NL) @3-3.2 that’s why I was asking if someone has successfully worked with them for me to know if I can go ahead or not.
Please we need to talk again check I sent you a mail.

olokings:
Someone has to tell you the #uglytruth.

You see these west worlds, they have a way of establishing requirements in their immigration systems to attract and allow certain type of profile to pass through the channel and come into their country.

You want to fake financial statements, your agent have advised you against it that it is fraud, you are still asking how you can circumvent it! How do you hope to succeed there if by any miracle you pass throuth and arrive there? Scaling the routine needs for survival won't last long like in Nigeria here where systems dont work.

You have to go back, reevaluate your plans. If you dont have at least N5m or your own, and/or cant get someone to commit N10m towards your dream, plus a significant scholarship sponsor, my guy, dont even bother going to submit any application because you will be tarnishing any future hope you had with this action.

You do not meet the basic eligibility requirements, let me put it plain to you. Forget this admission for now, go back and work on your profile, re-plan and find a way to improve your financial standing before your go back to IRCC.

This japa journey of today isn't for the downtrodden of Naija as earlier though. It is actually for those who were able to create opportunities out of the already basterdised system, hence if they move over to where systems works, they will excel super.

My brother, just take a step back and think creatively how you can package yourself to present an eligible profile before making any further atempts.

No prejudice, just felt i should tell you the #uglytruth.

ciao

Thanks for your advice duly noted.

There’s something we must understand. If I ask a question it doesn’t mean I already went ahead to do what I’m asking, most definitely doing so for clarity and making assurances double sure.
Now let me say this, I grew up in a Country where that is very common till this moment regardless of the country, so I had to be sûre if that’s the case with Nigeria as Nigeria has a lot of red flags when it comes to Japa journey.
Now If you noticed I asked 3 questions
Weather or not MBS is better than SOA because I saw someone talking about it earlier up the thread.

Secondly I also said I was building my SOA reason why I asked for vouchers for Naira digital I don’t know if you didn’t see it. I’m not leaving any stone unturned.
If you further check my post you will see me asking for POF company of something better than the 3.5% I found.
I’m not out here to trying to appear rich to someone of people, I’m the one wearing my shoes and know wear it hurts me. Many people will come out here sounding all rich and stable I’m not in that category. If I get I get if I no get I go get I no dey form levels.
No hard feelings still. Thanks

@bepositive read this.

Shayo5:
Your agent is right, you will be banned if the IRCC should detect any form of alteration on your SOA, it will not only affect your chances with Canada but with some other countries as well. if you POF is not enough find legal ways of working on it.

All the best.

Thank you.

Friends and family..........MY PPR HAS LANDED THIS MORNING OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

I'M COMING WITH MY TIMELINE SOON.

GLORY !!!!!
WOW CONGRATULATIONS
What a good way to start the day.

Peace634244:
Hi guys .. I’ve been a ghost reader for a while now but please I have a question that has been on my mind for a while now
Okay...I’m about to submit my application for Canada study visa but I seem to have a problem with the sponsors account
My father is my sponsor and he has a company
So we actually planned to use the company account which has over 1billion which is the total Credit balance for six months...but recently I saw a thread on twitter which says we shouldn’t use any company account for our study visa so now I’m confused on what to do should I submit his personal account?... just that the personal account is not huge compared to that one
His personal account is 250m total credit balance for 6months
So please guys how true is it that I can’t use my fathers company account when he’s the sole signatory to the account and I’m just 19 plus the company will write a letter indicating I’m the CEO’s daughter plus bank’s reference letter will also show that I’m the sponsors daughter

And should i just submit both his company account and his personal account

What are my chances of being given a visa considering financial capability?

GOD When?

Well from the little i know, you can comfortably use your father’s account if it’s well above or just enough for your tuition + living expenses (+ miscellaneous). I hope this helps you and good luck.

Chymallchamps:
I just received 2 'donotreply' mail on my email now and I am so scared to open itttttt.

Take a deep breath and open it. Good luck

Kainos22:
MBS can be generated using your bank app. It is completely free if you are the recipient. It is delivered to your email address, and you can access it using your account number or the last four digits of your account number, depending on your bank. Running MBS tests helps you determine the best start date for your POF to show a healthy opening balance... or at least it did for me.

Did you self sponsor your application?

Amen2025:



How much is the medicals? Are u paying in naira or CAD?

Hi Amen
Medical is 46500 and it’s paid in Naira (card).
There are two authorized health care centers by IRCC, QLIFE Family Healthcare center in Lekki and IOM in Ikeja. I used QLIFE and got my results as expected after the normal duration.

Kainos22:
I've always liened my funds...at least since TB and FD rates became unreasonably low. When I submitted my application, my funds were liened, and my visa was granted. You can run a test by generating MBS for your own use.

So in essence MBS is better than SOA?
You know I used to think MBS is requested only if your benign sponsored and your sponsor will be the one to have their MBS send.
I’m asking so because I’m also building my account for my application too. I need more clarity on that. Please.
Also the whole POF thing is becoming more complex, travel Kulture is advising me not to do POF that I’ll be banned.
My agent who doubles as director of my school says I should do POF If my SOA is insufficient for visa application.
• I got someone who can do account alterations for me to have the said account balance i need (10M) but my agent says I’ll be banned for 10yrs if I used a fake bank statement, so I’m confused if what the man want to do will be termed fake or not by IRCC.
I just tire ��‍♂️� since August 25th I’ve been hanging cus of this POF issue and my school have resumed already online.
Please is there anyone in my shoes? How did you do or someone should please advise what I should do about this. I’m just worried that I have not submitted my application yet since when I did my médicale.

Lastly has anyone successfully used or vouch Naira digital for proof of funds (someone should please answer me)

Thank you all as I await your response

Good morning House please has anyone successfully used Naira Digital for POF?

Good morning House. Blessed week ahead. Please who can vouch for Naira Digital?

PS: If you’ve worked with or know someone who has worked with them for POF thank you all.

olokings:
Come to think of it, what value does dropping PPR timelines and testimonies add here if you don't give insights into WHAT, WHY & HOW you did your application. What strategies you implemented, e.g how you structured & frequency of your emails, did you request your notes and when, did you engage MPs and how, did you file for family and how did you facilitate your documentation, how did you handle POF issues, and red flags in you application package, did you do upfront medicals and when, etc.

Just coming to say hey! i got my PPR really does nothing but give hope to both those who package a well thought out application and those who forged 99% of their documents to GIVE THEM HOPE.

However, you and I know for a fact that it is NOT HOPE THAT SWAY a VO's REVIEW OF YOUR ELIGIBILITY. While a stroke of luck may come into play to ensure that the VO is not "having a bad day" and commits too many oversight mistakes, THEY ARE MOSTLY INATELY OBJECTIVE IN THEIR REVIEWS, CROSS-REFERENCING VARIABLES & INFERENCES IN A WELL DEFINED & STRUCTURED PROCESS.

PEOPLE COME TO NAIRALAND TO GET SUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS' INSIGHTS INTO THIS WHOLE STUDY & WORK PERMIT PROCEDURES AND NOT TO BE PART OF STATISTICS FOR SUCCESSES AND/OR FAILURES

Perhaps, we really need to take a step back and ask ourselvse, what are we really doing here. If not, lets just form our various demonination of religious groups and be doing daily devotions while we call on members to be giving testimonies so that others can so seeds for divine intervention and success assurance... lol on a lighter note though.

But please, we should stay focus on generating and giving insights, not testimonies. When i newly joined the study permit thread in part 21, that was how things were, i gained so much insights just following peoples posts, quotes, and arguments, i screenshot over 100 posts (it is now i am trashing all those) which positioned me for success, even at that, i was still 60-40% sure (Till date it is yet to dawn on me that i have scaled the first hurdle). I still remember this dude who will drop you NL specific posts reference link to answer any & all of your questions, genius!.... if that moniker come to this part, i wonder what posts he will reference to players in part say, 25 in the future. they will only come here to count the success rate of applicants at the time.

We need to dissuade this testimony routine, and finnesse of channelling new applicants to backend / private discussions cause that is what is happening and PPR quotes are fuelling this even more. Very soon we will only come here to count how many PPR we got this week, strike that. Isn't that what we are doing already?!!!

ciao

Well said, God bless you.

Hi

I intend liquidating one of my crypto assets to use as POF. What I am worried about is if it will be regarded as a lump sum. Suppose it is, should I show evidence of liquidated crypto asset, or I should just use a gift deed of support by my dad or sibling. If a gift deed is used, will they require the bank statement of the person?

From the little i know, you can use it but should make sure to use the description ‘’ sale of prosperity’’ while your credited then explain it in your SOP. As per to show evidence of liquidated crypto asset i really don’t know maybe someone more enlightened will answer but I think it might be okay.
2. Yes you will have to get the persons bank statement.
CAC registration documents, tax payment slips and sponsorship letter explaining to the VO.

I hope this helps you. Good luck.

Queencyco:


The first prerequisite to get into any med school in Canada is having a previous Bachelors degree. Most schools do not admit international students, and those who do have only about 1% quota for international students.
Yes, there's a quota system that prioritises students from the province where the school is located.

Summary: It is EXTREMELY difficult to get into a Canadian med school from outside Canada. If your friend doesn't have a degree already, please switch to another science program like Anatomy, etc. Upon completion, he/she can pursue med school.

Other prerequisites include: MCAT, CASPER, some specific courses, essays, etc. These vary from school to school.

Very detailed and educative thank you so much for this it almost the same advice @cooooooks gave me. Please recommend any school for Anatomy i could refer her to thank you for your help.

Good day house, Please which medical school in Canada would you recommend for someone who’s in 100L medical school in Nigeria what’s to relocate because of the strike. Thanks for your feedback in advance.
PS: Asking for a friend.

I have been a silent reader who's been following this thread for a a while now. I seek to post this here because when I was on the look out for more information on those who went for Sputum test @ IoM, I couldn't find any here. Below is my timeline for my Canadian Study Permit application.

30-Apr Submitted Application
18-May Did Biometrics
13-Jun Did Upfront Medicals
14-Jun Sputum Test
16-Jun Received request from IRCC for medicals
19-Aug Contacted IoM for results of Sputum test
23-Aug IoM informed me to come for final X-Ray on Sept 13
13-Sep Went for final X-Ray examination
22-Sep Final medical results including X-Ray was sent to IRCC
27-Sep PPR request

For those undergoing Sputum Test, I advise that you reach out to IoM 11 weeks after your Sputum test requesting for your Sputum Test results (if it hasn't been sent) & when you should come for the final X-Ray.

The IoM email address for Lagos are: iomlagosmedicalbooking@iom.int & IOMLagosClinicalTeam@iom.int

All Thanks Be To God. May he receive all the praise & glory. Below is a snapshot of my timeline.

Congratulations
I tap into your Grace and success ��.
