michV:
your post has attracted some critics so far.

To write a good SOP, I have always seen different formats and opinions on how to write it but to me there is actually no standardize format in writing this. but any good reader would want to see a sequential flow without repetition from introduction-body-conclusion and ability to paragraph while structuring your statement is also necessary to make it interesting. some tips have been laid out to make you revolve your statements in accordance. Like introducing your purpose for the statement, educational background, achievements in relationship to the program, reason for this program and prospects, career advancements, why this school, why this country, conclusively your career goals. if applicable for TRV application, financial breakdown if necessary, home ties, bla bla ...

I will advise you if you can to at least try because when you would want to write ENGLISH TEST, like IELTS,PTE etc. especially for the WRITING category you would understand you need to be technical and creative in writing to be able to achieve higher points if your are aiming for Permanent Resident.

Additionally so many who are not on NAIRALAND got TRV without SOP. but don't try this if your application got some ''undones'' and demanding questions. More so your profile, the type and manner of study program would demand a convincing SOP with devoted hours or just fairly written ones which could take me one hour as the case may be.

Coming to the scene that your post generated, if you can meet my demand I will do so, yes ranting is allowed. Writing a good professional sop requires devoted time which if for example I am a banker, with the stress of work and family I can hardly write a good one that may facilitate visa approval. That does not mean that if I am jobless/idle or my work gives me time like Govt. works, with the tips here that I can't write it, of course I will, hence the need for one's service as long as you can give me the primary details of yourself to assist me in writing.

People will plead and plead for some people to help proof-read their SOPs thus delaying their submission for TRV application which some annoyingly just submit like that, some may even ignore your PMs/mails as a result of attending to their primary needs. This is because they are not being paid. if something to motivate was attached.. you would have seen the difference on this forum.

A good sop requires devoted hours, days + advanced learners dictionary beside the table + Panadol extra pack & a glass of water + fuel/ diesel for generator b/c PHCN is never trusted at least you don't need discomfort when writing this when you come back from work. Bro to be realistic many would have come out openly to get paid to do this for you but....to be continued.

To whom it may concern............

CanadianNurse:
perfectly correct! It's not a case specific requirement any more it's as important as medicals

Except you have full and surplus funding biko pay ur tuition or have the cash breathing heavily in ur akant!

So a friend and I are trying to understand how online study visa applications from Nigeria are processed. I thought it was all done in Ghana but there is a high commission and deputy high commission of Canada in Nigeria

Austinpee4:

Does it really matter where it is processed? As long as you get your study permit approved, it can be processed in afganistan for all i care. This shouldn't be your worry, thankfully you can apply online in convinience or through VFS.

@Osemigho, you head dey there! This new embassy policy follow for expectation! Not just medical!

So if an applicant that hasn't paid any fees no see that one too, then............God is in control!

LightandDarkness:


True. We were just wondering because of application perception, a Nigerian vo might understand the documents more than a Canadian one for example

LightandDarkness:


Is it possible this only applies to people who submit statement of account in naira. Has anyone who used statements in a currency like dollars or pounds had this issue?

Osemigho:


Why Na? You just spoil market with your quote.

I mailed the CBN contact office about 1/2 weeks ago...not sure when.

They said they're not aware of such information from the Canadian Embassy and that they would revert back to me as soon as the CBN takes an official position on the subject and this could take 3-4 weeks. Still waiting on them since then. I will send them a reminder tomorrow. Let them come and clarify this o.

aliACCA:


Manitoba accepts fees from international students prior to arrival ''if Immigration Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) requires students to forward funds to cover their first year of tuition and school fees (and possibly living expenses) prior to registration''. The amount will be deposited in the student account and a receipt will be ''processed and e-mailed to your e-mail account referenced in your Aurora Student account. If an original receipt is required it can be mailed to you upon request''.

samjumbo:
Thanks boss.. I am going in for an MSc Rehab Science (Thesis based).. I can not get a CAC doc from my hospital, they will suspect my intention of travelling out and I bring in lots of money for them, but man most progress boss. I can get any other doc I need. For asset boss.. I have a beautiful Toyota car and treasury bills worth 12million to be due by December.. Should I show that too?? I don't do land stuff honestly, just financial investments more. I hope this will be sufficient with perhaps a certified recipet showing some transactions of patients payment sir

Newman1010:
@tommee, check humber college, Conestoga and go through the DLIs on cic.gc.ca. There are so many colleges in Canada, check other provinces. Send mails to the department to determine eligibility before you apply for admission.
Also stop searching for only two years programs. PR will sort itself when you eventually get there.
