PATHWAYS TO STUDY IN CANADA.

Without wasting much time, there are two main ways to immigrate to Canada,

1. Temporary resident-as student, and as a worker.

2. Permanent resident- (this is temporarily closed for now) but might likely reopen before end of this year.

Now, lets elaborate on temporary residence as a student/worker. As a student you can apply for either First Degree, Masters, PhD whilst there are some other special programs many people don't know about include such as:

Certificate Programs:

These are for those that might not be able to meet up with the requirements for their intending M.Sc program they want to apply. For example, some Msc programs requires intending applicants to have at least Second Class Upper or strong Second Class Lower their First Degree. In that case intending applicants with weak Second Class Lower or Third Class could apply through certificate programs.

Pre-masters:

These are for applicants that want to switch from their initial course of study. Let's say someone had his/her first degree in any of the Engineering courses, but would love to switch to economics. Such an applicant could apply for Pre- masters in economics after which he/she can switch to economics full time in Masters. The aim of Pre master is to teach the students basics of the new course before ushering them into the real deal.

There are other programs like Diploma, Post Graduate Diplomas, After Degree programs, Professional Programs.

You might say 'oh I'm fifty years old, the last time i went to school was 20 years ago, what do I need to do', or you have someone who is quite old that wants to relocate to Canada but sceptical because of age restrictions associated with other immigration programs, or their age is not favorable in the Canadian experience class or may be they finished with O.N.D and want to further their study without going through undergraduate or they are not competitive enough to apply for Msc or PhD. Well there are professional courses one can enrol to make him/her elligible to have post graduation work permit. A good example of this is called the PACE program.

Now, what program are you thinking of studying in Canada? For bachelors degree, the basic document required is your WAEC result.

For masters programs, you will require to send
the school transcript of your first degree, for PhD you need your transcript of all your post secondary school results

For the special programs the requirement varies.

If you want to relocate to Canada for study, here are what you need to do.

1. Find a suitable program

2. Check if your'e elligible to apply for the program so that you don't waste your money applying for inelligible program.

3. Contact the appropriate department of the Institution handling International Students.

4. Apply for an elligible program of the Institution following necessary instructions.

4. Wait for approval.

Upon getting your application approved and receive your Letter of Admission, the next is to apply for study visa and this is not a fluke as you must convince the Visa Issuing Officer your ability or that of your sponsor to finance your study and most importantly your strong home tie that could pull you to return to your country on completion of your study and this is where our firm our firm of Chartered Estate Surveryors and Valuers comes in.

Submitting a property valuation report along with other required documents for visa application could actually boost your chance of visa approval.

Either for visit, study, medical or other temporary applications, it is strongly advisable for applicants to provide a current market valuation of their landed property(ties) in order to assist and convince visa officer about their economic/financial status in their home country and also as proof of strong home tie to pull the applicants to return on or before expiration of period granted.

Property Valuation report could make a visa officer develop good mental picture of who the applicant is, it just like what CV is to a job recruiter. An employer can develop an idea who a job seeker is through the CV to decide if the job seeker should be considered or not.

A valuation report describe in detail the property(ties) owned by the visa applicant and the corresponding value of such a property either a home, shop, factory, undeveloped land, agricultural farmlands etc which undoubtedly could be a strong proof of the applicant tie to the home country aside the family.

This document shows the amount of wealth you own in property(ties) in your homeland which will make a strong pull factor for your return to your homeland once the purpose of your visit is over and that may eliminate doubt of your return and one point of visa rejection.

Also, it could serve as a support document to your proof of fund which are usually liquid assets such as bank deposit etc. It will make lots of senses if you have good financial status as confirmed by your bank statement of account and property or assets valuation report to corroborate your status. Though, there are many who do not submit this document due to ignorance or it doesn't matter mind set but it would be wise to do it by a smart applicant especially if its a non apprearance visa application or the one you first submit your application for assesment prior to physical interview.

Visa valuation is a formal valuation report with current market value of your properties to support and assists your application with Department of immigration and Citizenship. It is important to prove that your housing assets is valuable as a strong home tie for returning after your study abroad or temporary visit and back up for proof of fund owing to the fact the asset/property could be liquidated to cash to fund your study.
