Flywire is not like Black market, it is more expensive than the black market.

I would not advise anyone to pay tuition fees via flywire direct except if you are a politician or a Multi-Millionaire..

Form A is the best mode of Tuition fees payment, even though the process can be really slow..

Peace

Bernice123456:

Flywire is like black market.
What you do is to open flywire
Put the name of the school you are paying and the amount in CAD
They will show you the equivalent in naira.
Then you go ahead and pay just like every other online payment. Your naira account will be debited.
You should have something like this

Congrats bro

I am glad to be part of your success story..

Hello Okukuone

It's not ideal for adding the bolded docs to your Photo passport section, those docs are means to either be in your client information or POF section..

You can use several tools online to compress your docs below 4mb..

Peace

OkukuOne:
Dear Toceen2022, Makano, diizzy968 et al,

Please, kindly assist.

Can I add my Employment letter, Payslips, and House Properties to the Photo Passport Page?

The reason is that my client information is already 4.116MB already.

Can IRCC penalize someone because of that?

My submission date is tomorrow by God's grace. I need answers pls!

The only time using a sponsor is a problem is when you are not using your parents as sponsors or ur siblings.

3rd party sponsors like Uncles, Bosses, Aunties, Lecturers e.t.c won't fly if you are not really convincing of their commitments to your study and stay in Canada...

There is nothing wrong in using a sponsor, dont be misled.

Peace

Xpansionb:
Congratulations. Please I am in same shoe of about using sponsor but I am afraid because everyone keep saying it won’t work. Please can I have ur contact so u can advice further please

Its either they extend your study permit when you present them with your new passport or you can do a study permit extension when u get to Canada, it's as simple as that.

Peace

Hello house. My student visa is stamped on my old passport which will expire in 7months, automatically it’s 7months that’s stamped on my old passport and my program is for 2yrs. So now i just received my new passport (reissued). Upon getting to Canada I’ll present both the old passport with visa on it plus my new passport - now my question is, (1) will the officer give me a new visa on my new passport? (2) will my study permit indicates 7months which is on d old passport or it will indicates 2yrs+ which is my initial program duration…. (3) Or I need to apply to extend my study permit Thank you.

I don't wanna believe you will have issues. When you get to the POE, tell them you wanna get familiar with your new environment and get yourself prepared before you resume classes..

Just make sure you have your LOA, LOI and tuition receipt with you, that is if you have paid though..

Peace

Hello adefunke

What exactly is the purpose of submitting blank receipts?

Your receipts must contain the several payments made by your customers, this will help especially if you have vast amounts of money (payments) made into your accounts to avoid refusals cos of lump sums.

Peace

adefunkeadelaku:
Pls gurus, I want to reapply myself, and I need clarification on the following
1) I want to add company receipt/ invoice, do I need to upload only the blank receipts or the one that is filled with customers' info( note its confidential )

Hello mrnatural

I have mentioned it here in the past for anybody applying for Admission, always confirm that the school you are applying to is a DLI and they offer PGWP after your studies..

Most applicants are blinded by how cheap a school is and not looking at if the school is DLI or not which is very important.

Note: Not al schools in Canada are DLIs, so make sure you all do your assignments before applying to a school for your admission..

Peace

mrnatural:
Hi guys, yesterday I was offered an admission to study gerentology at Lakehead University. But to my surprise I saw a caveat in it. I have a pay a non-refundable fee of 1k CAD which will be part of my first semester school fees to book my space. And I was giving 30days to make this payment or I loose my spot.

Please guys is this the right thing to do? Has anyone here gotten admission from this school? I’m a bit confuse hear and I need advice.

By the way I intend applying for M-Power loan which will ease the stress of the funding part for me.

As of today, 607.

I want to give thanks to God for granting me my heart desire.
I am and will be forever grateful to Makano for handling my application and making my Canada dream come into reality. I really appreciate your professional assistance sir.

I'm am a first time applicant and I also did an upfront medical. Attached below is my time-line

Well,

Like I always say, if you know you have waited long for your application that have passed the processing time, start with sending IRCC 5 emails every day, if after 2 weeks you didn't get a response, increase to 10 mails everyday.

It may sound crazy, but this crazy act has worked for applicants that crazily did this, so it's up to you..

Peace

Hello quinstershaw

As we all know, you can't predict the operation of IRCC VOs.

Personally, I have worked with a number of applicants who got their visas paying just $1500CAD Deposit fee. Many paid 1st semester and very few didn't pay anything and got their visa. But note this people who didn't pay anything had the required funds sitting in their SOA.

This is my advise for you, yes you can get your Visa with just the Tuition deposit, but make sure you have more than the required funds in your SOA and let your application further convince the Visa officer that you are capable and ready to pay up your tuition fees balance once you get your Visa..

Peace

quinstershaw:
Good day all
What are the chances of approval with just the acceptance deposit? No tuition initiated yet

Computer Science to Civil Engineering? Like how?

Or do you have a background in Civil engineering or are you working as a Civil engineer? If yes, then you can work something out.

if No, well don't let me say something negative.

Tolexy001:
Good Evening,

I was denied January 27th, due to insufficient proof of fund and my previous course of study was not related to the new one. I previously Studied Computer Science but when I applied to NBCC I couldn't get any course related to Computer Science, so I chose Civil Engineering Technology that was available. I need someone that will help me with good SOP that will relate my previous course (Computer Science) to New Course (Civil Engineering Technology). Since I applied for the Fall 2023 that will start by September. I think I stil have time, I am willing to reapply this month of February. I really need someone that can guide me. I don't want to miss the shot. I strongly believe that I will have testimony if I apply this time around with the help of God and anyone that will mentor me. I really need your help my people because I am coming to share my testimony here this year too.

I am open for assistance. Kindly WhatsApp me on +2348068468634

Regards

With the bolded, you have already answered your question.

So do well to get documents to back up the lump sum, else be prepared for a refusal..

If a public servant collect loan of 5m from Bank and add to his 5m savings before transferring to his brother's account as POF, is there any need to drop the document showing that the 5m was bank loan?
I'm asking because VO always like to know the source of lump sum.

Hello Gisele

You didn't mention the school or program you going for, but I will advise you to exercise a little bit of patience. Probably the number of applications they got for your program is on the high side. The master's admission process can take months, PGD/PGC admission process shouldn't be more than 2 months..

Peace

Gisele2023:
Good day house i applied in January for fall intake and school confirm they saw my application. Should I be worried that is taking too long for the outcome?

Well,

I have quite a number of peeps who got family visa with a year program for the primary applicant.

Just put down a clear and well-detailed explanation of why you wanna go as a family, and most importantly, make sure your explanation is convincing.

Also, hope you have the funds to comfortably cater for your tuition and living expenses of your dependents, this is key.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Abeg441

Do not waste your time on form A for a payment deadline of 2 weeks.

Peeps that have initiated Form A for months now have not been debited and the school has not received the CAD equivalent, so do not go near Form A, especially with what is going on in Nigeria presently with the banking sector..

Take time and read up on the school's payment options, there are 3rd party options like Flywire you can use, even though their rates are more expensive but your payment should get to your school in a week or 2.

Peace

Abeg441:
Please house, how do I make payment with Form A through flywire and the time given to me is less that 2 weeks how can I make payment to Form A and if it's not possible to meet up with this time how do I make subsequent payments through Form A and flywire for the remaining balance?

Let me mention that I did not include Police character certificate, land documents or other property documents because I do not have any of those things. It is true that 2 applications cannot be the same, sometimes too much of documents even can get Visa Officers confused. The above listed documents were all I submitted. It is good to read people's TL to be encouraged but some TL will get you intimidated and confused. My application was a self- sponsored. And all I submitted as POF was 10.4m

I am a first time applicant and I have never traveled out of Nigeria before. I never enter plane before self despite the fact that I work at the airport until last month that I went for medical and biometric. Travel history is not a criteria.

The total of my tuition for the 1 year is about 20,000 cad + 10,000 cad living expenses+ 3000 cad miscellaneous.

How I addressed POF.

My salary is around 100k. I knew for sure that it is too little to present as monthly earnings. what I did was to use all the 1.7m I had in 2021 to buy Toyota Corolla. I planned running bolt with it for a good 1 year before submitting my application. I explained that I drive my car on bolt platform on part-time basis anytime am off duty. Each month I make sure i make over 100k net profit from bolt. I submitted 12 months MBS to show that I truly make such money from bolt. I collected a loan of 8m from a co-op society, collected 2m from a friend because I knew the 8m won't be enough to show as POF. I wrote in the LOE that this my friend was a long time friend (classmate) which was true. He had sent money to me (vice versa) severally in 2022. I also showed pictures of us together in 3 different occasions (in school,at my engagement and at a function) and also included his international passport. Someone in Canada even advised that I should not include him that nobody gives anyone such money in Canada, that even parents don't give their children money. But I had no other story to cook because the money had already been sent to my account. I also made sure I paid 1m into my spouse account to augment her salary for her and the children's upkeep so the VO will believe that nobody go press my neck for money in Canada. In my LOE, I also mentioned that while I would be away, there is an arrangement on ground to employ a driver that will drive my car on a FULL TIME basis with weekly remittance of #30,000 to my account and to be managed by my spouse. The weekly 30k + my monthly salary+ other annual benefits from my employer resulted to additional 3m+ (about 10k cad)

How I addressed hometie

Apart from the fact that my family (spouse and children) and job are strong home tie. I became a volunteer with Red cross society of Nigeria just for the purpose of ID card and pictures, and I got that. I also collected a letter from my church. You can buy a pet (🐶, 🐱, 🦁, chicken 🐔) and add it to yours as hometie in your application. Include their vetinary cards and other documents.

Please note, keep your application as simple as possible, no allow NL use TL press your neck. Submit your application as early as possible so you can have peace of mind, and plan your departure well. All the experience I have today was gotten from here because I have been following since 2020. I also handled a friend's application last year. Submitted application Aug 16, 2022 and PPr Dec 26, 2022.... In all one cannot rule out the importance of prayers. I read here where people engage in different and lengthy spiritual practices. I also prayed and fasted for just 3 days and God got involved.

Submit your pending applications now......

I pray that God will come through for as much as many applications this year, especially those ones that that overdue/overstayed for a decision.

I'm available to answer questions hear....if you come to my TL for private engagement or documents, na billing ooooo.... Looking for Raba noww

Leave it blank, and inform them its Upfront Medicals you are doing..

When is the best time to travel ?

Can I renew my passport now and travel with both passport without any issues ?

Thank you

Hello akinloluazeez

This is the mistake most people make. Lump sum is never an issue, the issue is when you don't explain in detail to the Visa officer how the lump sum came about. Let them know the source and the reason/purpose of the said amount and make sure you provide documents to back up your claims. IRCC Visa officers love seeing documents that further convince them of your claims.

Peace

akinloluazeez:
Pls what are my chances if I present POF with lump sum (15M) which represent my savings for over 10years of work.
I can provide evidence through my salary payslip that some funds are going into a cooperative society. Now this funds are credit back to my salary account for me to proceed with studies in Canada.

Pls an advice required!
