Its hard to gain admission If she does not have significant work experience in the intended course, 6months IT is not enough besides what reasons made her to opt to go for a masters in a particular area of Food Sci . If she wishes to apply for visa, do not include the masters she has acquired already.

Hello, is the SOP supposed to be addressed? If yes, can I get the address pls.

Can I use NECO result given by the school as I do not have the issued by NECO itself and getting it has been a lot of stress.

I have a BA in English. Do I still need to get IELTS waiver ? ( I had hoped I wouldn’t have anything to do with the school again after transcript was gotten).

Hello,
Please my results has just been approved by senate in OAU. Can I order for my transcript now or I have to wait till December after the convocation??
Thanks in advance

You don't need to wait for 6mths. It is called migration. My old passport will expire by August 2022 and I did a renewal in Feb 2021. And the old one was destroyed
You will pay about 5k extra for the migration process plus the amount you will get a new passport . Did mine at Ikoyi passport office
If you don't have time on your side, when you get to Canada you can renew it.

AS A FIRST TIME APPLICANT, AM I TO WRITE LETTER OF EXPLANATION OR STATEMENT OF PURPOSE?

Chioma3000001:
Please where can I do my medicals in Abuja

Lekiboboe:

As a first time applicant, you are to write a STATEMENT OF PURPOSE (SOP)

SOP - Statement of Purpose
The theme SOP is geared more towards the first time visa applicants. In this case, the applicant will more likely talk about how the advance studies is going to complement past academics and how it will brighten up the future career scope. In addition, various other topics will be addressed such as capability to finance studies & living cost, why particular program, why Canada, why particular institution etc.

I don't think it really matters if it's one landed property or not. What the VO will want to determine is if his income or cash at hand will suffice to sponsor you. questions like are you the only dependent of your sponsor. what sources of income does he have? That 7m, can it take care of everyone in your family and also be enough to pay for your fees and whatever living expenses you have in addition to his income. I personally think 7m is small to show in this case or are you an only child? You should be able to establish beyond reasonable doubt that your sponsor is good for it. It will be good to show your own statement too, especially if you are gainfully employed and the inflow and outflow shows consistency and reasonably good amount.

Please wait for input from the gurus.

If you are just graduating, I will advice you go for nysc, work small and gain experience. Then you can pursue Canada

Thaiy:


Why wait till December. Since it has been approved, exams and records would not have issue getting you transcript in no time.
Besides OAU uses a computerized result uploads even if it would still be released in Departments.

Get it and use for personal use when the need and time arises.

What about NYSC....giving it any thought, you will get work experience from there you know.

All the best.

Please, I have an issue confusing me and would appreciate it if I can get people's opinion urgently. My brother's admission letter showed up 1st of April to resume Sept. and he wants to apply for visa. Earlier he made our elder brother abroad who is going to be his sponsor to pay around 30kCAD into his account because he of his age (he turned 30 last month). So I have the following questions

1. Does he still need a supporting document from our elder brother (as a sponsor) since the money is in his dormn account?
NB: He is doing nothing meaningful at the moment

2. I read somewhere on this thread that leaving expenses should be in ones account at least 4months before visa application. But this 30kCAD was paid into his dorm account last month. Will it affect his application?

3. Lastly, does he need to show another account, or is the 30kCAD sufficient?
NB: Our elder brother will be paying part of his tuition fees.

Abeg I will appreciate answers to my questions. Thank you all for your contributions so far

Glassses:
1. If I were the one, I would do a gift deed for the money deposited into my account. Firstly because of my age, I feel like the VO will expect someone my age to be able to sponsor myself. So if I have someone sponsoring(sibling not parent) sponsoring me, then I will have to show that he has really given me this money and won't abandon me. If you are 30, then I expect your elder brother to be around 31-40 which means he might have how own family already so he needs to show that he still has enough to take care of himself and family after sponsoring you. I will ask my elder brother to provide me with his payslip(this can be ignored if you do a gift deed), his bank statement showing the transfer to me and probably a reasonable amount left in it to show he still has funds for himself, means of ID, birth certificate showing your relationship, family tree, pictures with him, evidence of previous support and a letter of explanation/support. (pick the documents you need based on you, I just provided options).

You shouldn't make it obvious to the VO that you are doing nothing meaningful at the moment, write a convincing statement of why you aren't doing anything and what plans or steps you are taking. You can even state that you are volunteering somewhere or something. Don't just make it obvious you are "idle"

2. I don't think this will have an effect on his application, my living expenses was Transfered to me a week or 2 before my application and I don't think it was it was issue. Just explain the source of the lumpsum. Since this money is in a dorm account, I will assume there isn't regular inflow and outflow in that account so ensure you try to explain that.

3. The sufficiency of the 30kCAD will depend on his tuition fees and if he will still have about 10k left for his living expenses after payment of tuition.

If your elder brother is paying part of tuition then ensure you put the school deposit receipt.

The logic to this thing is to put yourself in the VO's shoes...ask yourself revenant questions he might be thinking of and try to provide answers in LOE /SOP and provide relevant documents where necessary. All in all, tighten all loses ends and package the application well. Back it up will prayers and it will definitely end in praise.

All the best.
