Guyz Good Day all.

Pls is the below address correct for Letter of Introduction from Workplace:

The Visa Officer
The High Commission of Canada
Visa Section
Lagos,

Your urgent feedback will be highly appreciated. Thank you

If you & your uncle can convince the VO about his claims to be your sponsor then it can fly that he doesn't pay beforehand, but based on trends on this thread one sure way to defuse the VO's skepticism about a non-parent sponsor is for said sponsor to pay the fees ahead of time.

You can source for funds to pay your fees, but don't even try to inaccurately tell the VO that your uncle was the source of funds. You'll be going down a path that you can't defend if there's any little scrutiny. VOs aren't stupid... you will submit your uncle's bank statements and it will be glaringly obvious that the money he supposedly used to pay your fees never left his bank account. This can lead you to a "insufficient funds" denial, even if you've paid the fees already. You've already seen applicants on this thread denied for "insufficient funds" even though they already paid fees. This happens when the VO sees something fishy with your finances and/or isn't convinced about your financial viability.

My advice: only tell the VO what you know you can reliably defend. If you are found to have misrepresented information, you may receive a ban or at best be denied.

Thanks for your reply.

What do you think is best for me to tackle the sponsorship issue in order to avoid insufficient fund problem..im still yet to submit my visa application for Jan school entry, I want to tackle everything bfr I apply.

Also, about the Travel History I have been seeing as reason for denial. I have not travelled outside Naija bfr o, I have virgin paasspot. How do I tackle this issue.

Thirdly, I currently have no concrete property, but my mum has a land to her name, is it possible I "buy" it from her, so that I will use it also as my home tie.

Pls kindly lay credence. Thanks alot

thesoj:


1. Keep your uncle as sponsor (different last name doesn't matter, you will show proof using birth certificates showing he and your mom share the same parents). He pays one year of tuition to your school, and then transfers one year living expenses funds to your dom account. Attach all this proof and present to VO. In addition, your uncle would explain all this in his sponsorship letter as evidence of his willingness to sponsor you.

2. A transfer from your uncle to your mom's account will show up as a lump sum. How will you/she explain this to the VO? Also it's best to transfer to a dom account (GBP, since your uncle's funds are in this currency) so you don't lose money due to the continuous devaluation of the Naira (and something called "buy-sell spread": basically you lose money if you go from GBP to NGN and back to GBP even if on same day).

3. For home ties, in my view a study leave letter is not in itself a very credible home tie. Think about it, why would an employer hold a job for you unless you have an extraordinarily special skill that isn't present in the Nigerian labor force? I'm not saying you shouldn't include a study leave letter, I'm saying that you need to also present other home ties (e.g. credible plans on what you plan to use your Canada educational skills to build/develop when you come back to Nigeria... be as specific and clear as possible.)

Bro, this is an update.

My Uncle that is to act as d sponsor said he can act as my sponsor, but he cannot afford to spend raw cash now for the payment of tuition fees and transfer of fund to my acct, though his account statement is healthy based on inflow and outflow including balance as all are in Pounds.

Pls how do I go about this. Should I still use him as sponsor? Owing to the fact that his acct statement is healthy but he cannot spare d raw cash of tuition payment at the moment. But he has landed properties in U.K

Also I planned sourcing fund externally from friends to pay the fees, but my uncle will cite it that he did the payment.

Gurus kindly comment on d best path.

Good Day all.

I'm new here,

I'v a B.Eng Degree (Elect/Elect Engineering, 2:1)
Working in a Telecoms firm 2yrs experience
IELTS: R-6, W-7.5, L-6, S-7.5. Av:7.0
27yrs

Pls can someone help me calculate, Do I have a chance for Skilled Migration through express entry in canada?

Your response will be highly appreciated.

Thank you all

Thanks A bunch

Pls, concerning d Dom account, I don't have any yet. Is it best I open a Dom account in GBP or in USD.

For the Home Tie, the Study Leave letter is one of d things I intend using, I have 7 siblings and my two parents I will use them as family home tie, then my rented Lagos apartment receipt and agreement. Also i don't have any landed property yet, but my mum has, is it OK I "buy" it from her and use d property to show home tie too?

Don't you think is risky paying school fees bfr visa, at least to save me from d stress of a refund( I don't intend to.be negative minded here).

My Uncle can be my main sponsor wgooe my mum and I act as co-sponsor as Iv been working close to two yrs.

Thank you as I get cleared on these

guzenaira:


I would have given you my opinion but the bolded above made me change my mind since I believe a special guru would have contacted you.

No offence sir/ma, but I believe it's a faceless forum with nobody given the obligation to compulsorily answer all questions but out of any body's magnanimity.

If you don't need a 'special guru' I can give some answers.

Bro, No one has contacted me..I later realised that it's not necessary to have a special and private guru since I'm allowed to lay my complaints here..

I'II will be good if the responses are given here

Pls kindly go ahead to give ur feedback here. Thank you..

Good Day all,

I'v now Secured an Admisson Offer from U of O, M.Eng for Winter, 2018. I want to start gathering my docs.

First, I will voice out my situation so that the gurus can make an input on how best to present myself.

I intend using my Uncle(Mum's junior bro) who resides in UK as my sponsor. He has 4kids, but he is capable of sponsoring me, at least for the first yr. My mum's present account is a little above 1M NGN,

But recently I was thinking if my Uncle will transfer enough fund to My mum's account so that my mum will act as my sponsor, he can as well transfer some to my account for me to become co-sponsor. This move is to avoid ambiguity when presenting my sponsor...my uncle of cos don't bear same surname with me.

Then, for Home tie, I intend begging my present employer for a study leave letter, then I can use my house rent agreement and receipt which expires Sept 2018 all as home tie.

Pls gurus in the house, How well am I getting.. as January is fast approaching, i intend sending d trv app on or bfr month end, also I will like to do upfront medical, then use paper route.

Thank you as I get ur responses.

N/B: i will seriously need a special guru to contact me on whatsapp(07039783473)so as to help arrange my docs, God Bless you all

Good day house, I applied for Msc software engineering for sept 2017 at University of Alberta since 14th of December. It's been over six months now, and my application is still under review. I contacted them a month ago and I was told my application is out for review. I applied for conditional admission because I will be graduating this year, could this be the reason why it's taking so long?

I applied to Alberta, ELECT ELECT, M.Eng no.news from them yet.

yeyen004:


Sorry for the delay bro. But u can give Australia a shot, their admission is faster and visa is straight forward and quite simpler

Does Australian schools require GRE, IELT is Tofl ?

akmolaks:


Did Prof. Chris Zhang mentioned anything about funding?
Secondly, you can apply for NDDC scholarship closing this Friday and finally once your 2/2 is 3.0 above on WES rating your admission is very sure.

Best Regards.

I don't think those applying to Cabaduna Universities are eligible for NDDC Scholarship

Good morning Guys

1. Does anyone have a contact person for U of A, Elect Elect Admission, They are really delaying the admission Offer.

For U of Alberta I submitted on the 15th of Dec '16 but my app was complete around 26th of Jan cos of delay from my referree . Does University of Alberta take this long in giving offers.
