@ all prospective applicants...

I am no immigration expert but let's just say iv learnt a lot from my experience, peoples experience, iv tirelessly read articles and gone through the website of the consulate, worked a little with the experts and thus I know one or two about immigration which I would like to share.

First of all no two individual applicaton are treated the same way. Two friends may apply on the same day but they are not likely to get their passports or instructions back at the same time. Basically, it takes between 3-6 months for the entire process. Some (like myself) are called for medicals early, after a few weeks and some are called after months. It depends on how well arranged and organised ur application is, and how fast an easy it is to verify all your documents and most importantly the grace of God (as your application maybe perfect but the consular not in a good frame that day). Thus, you have to pray hard and work hard...you should ensure that every detial is covered, from passport photograph specification to school document etc. I remember when I took my passport photo, I dint like the first set of pics and I went all the way to ikoyi to take another because of the quality and experience I know the photographer had. This is to say that NOTHING should be taken for granted.

Also, you should never apply late or too early. For instance if your school starts september the best time to apply is march so you wouldn't get the excuse of insufficient time or look to desperate by applying much earlier.

The whole idea of your application should be based on the fact that your a genuine student,'one who is progressive' by this I mean if you have a bsc you should be going for a msc, mba, ma etc not a diploma. A pgd is only ok if ur degree class is a 2.2 and below. And you should b able to demonstate that the pgd, msc, mba, mphil etc is the right course for you, butressing on the connection to your previous degree. (This can be demonstrated through your transcripts, choice of school, choice of course, your letter of intent, professional body membership, awards, work experience etc) just make sure there is a connection.

Well below is the list of documents I submitted:

1. All relevant application forms, family form, study permit questionaire, etc (which I typed and filled online)

2. Letter of intent (which I titled 'my story') this is a brief introductory about the applicant. It should be a one-two page typed intro about you, your motivation, academic succes, reasons why ur going for a particular course, why canada, little bout ur family etc. Keep it short, smart and brilliant.

3. International passport

4. Passport photographs (with my details written on the back) pls make sure it meets the specification, plus wear a nice shirt, not much make up, look good and smart. Like a student should. Neatly hold the photos with an office pin.

5. Police clearance certificate. This is done somewhere near obalende.

6. Final admission letter from school with evidence of fees payment- if required of from the school.

7. Transcripts from previous university or institution(original copy)

8. Waec, neco (yes! Include it, with scratch cards for them to verify)

9.Nysc discharge certificate (if you have)

10.Testimonials, certificates, awards etc

11. Your birth certificate (original)

12. "COPY" of birth certificate of your siblings OR copy oftheir intl passport bio data page. If your parents don't have passport or birth certificate u can put a copy of their marriage certificate. Same applies to you spouse or kids if you are married.

13. Reference letter from present employer if employed, also include payslip.

14. Affidavit of support from your sponsor which should be typed on a page and notarised. (Your sponsor is best if its a close relative like brother, father, wife etc.)

15. 6months - 1year bank statement. Pls just don't deposite a chunck of money in your account/sponsors account. They want to see the history and flow of income in and out of the account. And yes they do verify all accounts!!
Make sure it is recent, stamped and signed.

16. Personal bank statement (if it also looks good)

17. If you are self employed or your sponsor is self employed attach dovs like certificate of incorporation, tax clearance, company registration papers, form co7 etc. If you work for someone and your sponsoring urself your pay slip, reference frm company and bank statement I enough.

18. Be sure to add fixed deposit proof, landed property proofs, tenancy agreements(if ur sponsor has a house), deed of assigment, treasury bills etc

Pheww!! That's about it. Pls ake sure u organise and arrange all documents in an orderly manner, like how I listed them, so it would be easier for them to go through.

NB...you can also add a check list which lists all documents in application. The truth is not everyone will get a visa, some are granted, some denied. If not canada or any place would be chocked up. All countries usually have a quota which dey cannot exceed yearly, so make sure u pray hard and work hard to be granted.

All the best to everyone and myself. I have payed my dues.

Please i urgently need the sample of your letter of intent..... i will be submitting my application on Friday.... (sodiqonas@yahoo.com) any body that has the form should help me with it, am going for an undergraduate... Thanks

Re: Travelling To Canada Part 3 by GboyegaD(m): 6:34pm On Jul 05, 2012
Sorry if my post seems off topic but I observe people are asked to pay tuition. If you have a doctorate funding with tuition waiver and funding, do you just submit your statement of account only and all other documents or would you still need to make payment when you actually do not need to make payment?

Re: Travelling To Canada Part 3 by dipo1: 9:20pm On Jul 05, 2012
this link provides a rough grade conversion scale. I reckon a lot of people want to know what their CGP's will be equivalent to on a different scale from the one use in their universities. So u may have an idea if you meet requirements if a University says for instance, that they require a minimum of a B grade for MSc applicants
