Thank you so much for your response

Pls can you or any other member of this house explain a little further on how it will be difficult to apply for PR with a 1 year PGWP.

Thank you house

Pls guys, I would appreciate your responses. Thank you

Hope you're aware that 1-year program can only fetch you 1 year PGWP. If your plan in the end is to pursue PR, this might not be good for you. I advice you go for a program 16-24 months in length, which will lead to a 3-years PGWP, enough time to apply for PR.

I thought you mentioned getting a sponsor in your initial post. If you have your full tuition and additional 11kCAD as living expenses, If I were you, i will include 5kCAD for miscellaneous like flight expenses and others, that should be enough for a 1-year program. But remember you will only get 1-year PGWP.

A PGD program is okay because you have HND.

He doesn't need the HR to sign, mine was signed by my manager, but all the other items were fulfilled, letterhead etcetera

I don't think 300k worth of shares can get you a strong home tie, in my opinion. How many units can that amount purchase? From your profile, you graduated last year, you've not had any paid employment, I don't think the VO would be looking for assets to tie you to your home country.

Goodluck!

Thank you for your response

_Bro I studied quantity surveying looking to pursue a PGD in Project management (not construction project management, just the normal project management as it is more affordable)
-I have a HND upper credit ( PGD is the only option as I can't go for masters directly )
-My program length is 1 year
And apart from the tuition, I have 11k CAD to cover for my living expenses

As for the employment reference letter, I don't think he has a HR yet because it's a small business with a relatively small number of staff members but I can get the reference letter directly from him if that would be acceptable

Thank you

Also, I'm thinking about buying N300k worth of shares, stock or bond, I want to use it as a home tie..

Please house, is this good enough for a home tie considering the fact that I will be purchasing it very close to the period(1 month before ) I am applying for my study permit

Thank you

If the employment is an unpaid graduate intern position, you can submit an employment reference letter.
A detailed reference letter would work perfectly in your application. The letter should be in the company's official letter headed paper and should highlight the following -

1. Your job start date,
2. Your job responsibilities and duties with the said company,
3. The number of hours you work per week,
4. The letter should confirm the fact that the company is aware of your wish to acquire an advanced knowledge in the field of xxxxxx at xxxxxx school, Canada.
5. The letter should be written by the HR and duly signed.
- I was assisted by Frank with this statement above

For the home ties, you're a young new graduate, I don't think the VO would be expecting you to have assets, I think your family will okay, but you will have to state how important your family is to you in your SOP.

Your major concern should be your funds, make sure everything is as clear as water for the VO. I advice that your living expenses should be in your account, sent by your sponsors, and stated in your SOP clearly. They should pay a semester fee too, then provide evidence of their capability to pay for your subsequent expenses in the following year, depending on the length of your program.

Why are you going for a PGD? What was your first degree on? Your GPA? Because if you got second class upper and your going for a PGD, that might raise a red flag.

I'm just an applicant like you too, so this is just my own thoughts. Every application is different, but one thing you should do is to present a clear application with evidence to proof all you stated in your SOP.

Goodluck.

I was already contemplating this. But what I am requesting for is just Employment letter but I need to study first. Cause for home ties, I'm still cracking my head on what to do.
I'm almost ready for SP application.

Please the Gurus in the house, how una see this thing.
How can we build a strong tie home? I'm not married, not even girlfriend sef.

Brother I've sent you an email..

Getting payslip is easy bros, just get someone who is very good at Corel draw he would help you out in making a payslip, also note that payslip carries an ID card number [in order words your friend should issue you an ID from his company: this can also be made]. You would also be submitting a scanned copy of the ID when applying], also in claiming a payslip it means you have a particular amount your friend pays you as salary, now the tricky part is that the amount you claim to be paid has to reflect in your bank statement[ you can’t claim to be paid a particular amount as salary and it’s not reflecting in your bank statements] if I was the VO I would know it’s a lie. My advice take your time don’t rush, which ever amount you would be claiming as salary pay it every month at a particular date, send the money to your friend and he should pay it to you through the company’s account carrying that company’s name. Do this for at least 4months reason been that the embassy requires at least 4months bank statement of account from you when applying. My advice do not rush this take your time and do this properly. Also let your payslip show there is tax deduction every month from that salary you are been paid.

Also on the payslip let the date tally with the date your friend pays the salary to your account. Highlight the date of your salary payment in your bank statement and in your sop or LOE draw the VO’s attention to it.


Hope this helps

Thank you very much for your response.. But I think giving the man money to pay into my account and requesting that he sends it to me Is gonna be a difficult one.. Honestly it's gonna be a whole new level of convincing and explanations and I don't see that coming out positive

I already sent another person money and the person has paid it back into my account as salary but since you mentioned that the payment should come from the company(which I said I'm working for) account And should be continuous for at least 3 months, I think this is going to be another problem as I just started payment this month and I really intend to apply for study permit ASAP

Pls what else can I used as a home tie?

-I am 25, single
-Graduated 2018, finished NYSC 2019 ending
-Looking to pursue a PDG
-I don't have any actual employment, or assets
-All the members of my immediate family(siblings and parents) are here in Nigeria
- no travel history but no study gap either
- my uncle in Canada would be paying my tuition upfront and my elder brother(who is also single with no kids or responsibilities) here in Nigeria will be providing his bank statement with at least 11k CAD as my proof of funds for living expenses
- my international passport coincidentally would be expiring at the end of my proposed PGD program
- lastly instead requesting for an employment letter as a full staff, can I just ask for letter of employment as a graduate intern (unpaid position) to show I have not been while away time since I finished NYSC last year. Also, the job position is also going to be in relation to what I intend to study for PGD

Pls gurus, how would I reasonably prove to a VO that I would be returning to my country. I am very sure a lot of us here are having issues with home ties too

Thank you house

My people I hail oo.. Pls I have a very important question. Do VO's verify employment?

I already have a number of PGD admissions into various colleges in Canada. I plan to apply for my trv soon. I have a family friend who owns a private business which is related to what i studied and I want the guy to give me an employment letter from his company, a letter of introduction and also a study leave letter (which will serve as my home tie)

Pls note that I don't actually work there. Also how would I go about it interms of payslips or which other way can I solidly prove that I work for him without raising any suspicions..pls gurus in the house, help out
