1) Nobody here can tell you emphatically, you approval is sure. However with what you have already, I will advise you demonstrate stronger home ties to Nigeria than Canada since you are using your sibling in Canada. Yes, your sibling and spouse can be your sponsors but you are expected to show financial capability of your own to cover for at least your living expense. Also you have to show substantial proof of relationship with each sponsor

2) No it is not enough, you are employed. You have to include evidence of employment or what you do for a living. if your own assets either one or many, you are to attach evidence of these assets.

3) it is not a red flag in anyway. The shares serves two purpose, it can supplement your finances if liquidated and also serve as a hometie which is something that would encourage you to return home.

Thank you so much for your response. In response to what you said.

1. I plan to demostrate stronger home ties to Nigeria by using my spouse and children. Plus my shares that are worth N10 Million.

1.a I do not have other form of finances apart from the shares I own.

1.b I have the birth certificate of my sibling, I believe it is enough.

2. I do not have a full time job so no regular income. I work as a freelancer online and income is not that regular.

Do I have a good chance to still get study visa considering my situation?

Hello gurus in the house and everyone.

I have gotten admission at a Canadian college and want to apply for study visa but have some issues and concern. I have a sibling in Canada that is willing to sponsor me and has made part payment of my fees.

1. Do I have a good chance of getting a study visa if my sponsor is based in Canada? Can my sibling and their spouse be used as my sponsor or only my sibling?

2. I am married with kids so plan to use my family as home ties. Is this enough?

3. I work as a freelancer and do not have regular monthly inflow of funds to my bank account, but I have shares of Nigerian stocks worth N10 million. Will this be a red flag as I do not have pay slips to submit?


I look forward to your responses. Thank you.
