Did you use CIBC or western union solutions... those two give deadline of three days to complete the payment.... what bank did you use ?..... Also my school is conestoga they don’t give out account number it as to be one of those two

Please guys, how can I get fully funded Canadian scholarship? What school offers such or is it the Canadian govt?

Hi everyone, I just got letter of acceptance from Humber College. I applied for a graduate certificate course in project management (A year course). My tuition fee for a year is $19800. My question is that will 9 million be enough as statement of acct for my personal account? This 9m will just be sent to my account, I hope there won't be a problem because the money hasn't been flowing for the past 3 months. The money is actually in form of bitcoin so I have to convert it to naira. Is there any way to convince the VO that the money belongs to me because it's just been transferred to my account.
I'm highly anticipating for a response. Any other information will be highly appreciated.

Please I need someone to help with a detailed response.
Thank you.

Your $19,800 CAD tuition + $10,000 CAD living expense + $3200 CA for miscellaneous/others, sums up to $33,000 CAD for a year. With the current exchange rate, that’s about N9,900,000....

Do you have any dependents that would be going with you or staying back here?

If no, you may want to consider adding a little more funds to the account. 9 million is clearly not enough.

If yes, then you’ll be needing a whole lot more money (if they’re accompanying you), or proof of how they’ll be taken care of in your absence (if they’re not accompanying you)...

Hello everyone. Happy weekend to all

I am about to submit my application and pay the 235 CAD (study permit + Biometrics fees). I need a guide on how u guys paid urs. Cause I heard that most nigerian banks allow their customers do 100 USD (about 135 CAD) maximum per month for international transactions using naira debit cards (I stand to be corrected though).

Pls which route did u guys use in paying the 235CAD.

I greet everyone. My application includes my wife and son, However have just been refused, i have commenced the fall semester on online platform (University of northern British Columbia), i made use of 3 accounts: My Wife's Account which i am.also a signatory has like 14m, My Business account with 2.5m in it and my Salary account from work( Public servant). There is an affidavit on my wife's account to show that the money in it is to be used to finance the program and other expenses. I have a Farm registered with cac( i didn't furnish them the cac documents, only the account statements which has 2.5m as stated above) I was refused with following reasons. Please any insight and way forward?

Hello ayyoshert

Sorry to hear about your refusal.

First thing you should do is to order your gcms notes. The reasons you were given in your refusal letter is generic. To see the specific cause of your rejection, you need to order your GCMS notes. To do that, just google “GCMS notes sites” and you’ll see several websites you can order it from. It costs between $15-$20 and can take up to 35 days to be ready. Please order it immediately. From the notes you’ll see the visa officer’s concerns and you’ll be able to address it before replying if you decide to reapply.

For your study permit application, you should show your tuition for the first year plus at least 10,000 cad for your living expense
For the people accompanying you, you need 4,000 cad for the first and 3,000 cad for every additional person, so for your wife and son you need 7,000 cad

This brings what you need to show for living expenses to 17,000 cad (approximately 5 million) plus Your first year tuition.

Also note that since you’re self sponsored the visa office will check for prospects on how you’ll pay your tuition for the subsequent years (if the program is more than one year) So you need to show a lot of money.

Was there any unexplained lump/huge sum deposit into the account in the time frame of the statement you submitted? That’s another reason for rejection on financial grounds.

I’ll advice you build your account up a lot more.

As for purpose of visit, it could be that your statement of purpose/letter of explanation was not very convincing or it could be that the course you’re going for isn’t showing a career/academic progression.

For the house to be able to advise you properly, you can share what you studied previously and the level (eg bsc, HND) and the course you’re going for now and the level. Also share what area your current employment is in. Usually your proposed study should align with your previous study or employment.
Please also share the length of the course you applied for in Canada and the tuition fee.

As for family ties, you applied with your whole family. They think you won’t be coming back. You can tackle that by reapplying without them, and bringing them over after you’ve gotten your study permit. Although people have applied with their family and gotten it, if you want to do that, you’ll have to show strong financial ties to the country (landed properties, assets worth a lot, a good job to come back to etc)

Lastly, if you’re applying without your family, you must show proof that they’ll be well taken care of in your absence (enough funds) All the money belonging to the family cannot be used for your studies. You’ll need to show a good amount available for their survival.

All the best sir

Please guys, how can I get fully funded Canadian scholarship? What school offers such or is it the Canadian govt?

Hi,

At times some Full or Partial Funded Canadian Scholarship (thesis-based) are not Advertised e.g MasterCard Scholarship, some are directly from the department, it all depends on the supervisors of schools you contact i.e if after u contact a Potential Supervisor and u are accepted, then u can proceed & ask if there is funding available.

So what u gonna do is research on loads of schools in Canada that has masters or PH.D
programs related to your former degree ,then visit the skool website, explore their staff profiles & reach out to Potential Supervisors (Professor/doctors) whose area of research relates to your own research interest/field of discipline, then u mail them to show case yourself on how u u gonna fit it to their Lab., and ask if they gonna be accepting students for the next intake e.g (September FALL 2021 intake)

Hello everyone, @all the gurus on this forum, please I need some clarity on this.
I ordered my Gcms notes , I have attached the picture of the summary I got.

Medical request was sent on 21/07/20
Medical was updated to pass on 28/7/20
I received AIP 18/08/20

Please observe that the decision was written on the same day the medical request was sent, and I received
AIP almost a month after that.
Also I noticed "Entered in error"
Please what does this mean?

Thanks as I look forward to your feedbacks .

For Economic ties, I submitted documents for 6 six properties, 4 owned by my husband(sponsor) and 2 co owned by my husband and I. All property documents had valuation reports
I paid a full year tuition and attached evidence (18k CAD)
My husbands personal account had 11million naira ,
I had N2million in one account and had N4million in another account.
I have my own business which was incorporated in 2010.( submitted certificate of incorporation and tax documents).

I do really appreciate you for the time you took to elaborate on steps to take, you're a wonderful person. I will order for the gcms as advised. I studied Mgt and Accounting at undergraduate level(Bsc), the course applied for is MBA for 2years( 25, 687 CAD per session) i work in the public service, as a senior staff who manages surbodinates i felt an MBA program can align. I indicated in my SOP of courses and training i have done outside the country US and India and how i believe the MBA program will assist me in making better decisions in managing people after i come back to my job in Nigeria. It's disappointing, However i will check the notes to see the specific issues.

Thanks a lot. God bless you. I'm currently going over them. But how's the Visa process like? Is it a non-appearance visa i.e we dont visit the embassy to be asked questions?

Hi Fehinebony,

This situation is not quite common, but I will tell you to be positive because your eligibility is indicated as passed. I must assume then that the VO initially refused you but through some intervention or change of mind, s/he changed the decision and indicated this with the "entered in error" function that we see in the GCMS note. It is also possible for the reverse to be the case but that is unlikely since you said you received the first stage clearance letter some weeks later. I am curious to know if that is the only note made by the VO. Are there other notes? If there are, we should see them too. It will also be helpful for us to know the program you applied for, the school, and its duration.

goodevening house ,

i wish everyone a successful new week on this journey .
i have been getting lots of pms and i would like to drop this here for everyone.

Please OWN your study permit application process, sop , everything yourself because no one can sell you better than you can sell yourself. yes get tips and suggestions on what to do but ultimately do what you decide to do you are responsible for the outcome.

i had a lot of conflicting information and contrary advise but i stuck to my guns, paid my fees and started classes , i kept sending them web forms and emails with documents i knew i had uploaded. i sent my medical and it was updated the next day even though i had submitted all two weeks prior, before eligibility review started i sent course enrollment and tuition fees payment to add, next day my eligibility review started. then i sent ielts that i didn’t need to, i was sending them email two times a week monday and thursday. early hours of the morning with title: URGENT ATTENTION .

note that it may not work for everyone oooh. but my application was already 3 weeks and i wanted answers in time to resume fall.

please don’t let anyone discourage you at all. you can do it. i am looking forward to sharing my gcms notes with you all.

documents i submitted


Admission letter from University of Ottawa
medicals upfront
personal and company bank statement since i run my own business
vac documents for my business
cute family photos of me hubby and baby
transcripts and certificates undergraduate
first masters degree transcript (australian uni)
marriage certificate
passport with valid usa and canada visa
payment receipts for hospital and accomodation when i visited last year (had baby via emergency)
very long sop (6 pages with sub headings and sections for each point i wanted to address) use your discretion

i addressed clearly why i want to do a second masters in Canada and also why i have an active express entry profile because of the dual intent rules. i quotes it for them sef i think.

i appreciate all those who keep this thread going and whose words of wisdom helps us. God will surely come through for all those waiting. keep the faith alive
