Omo...the funding covers your tuition na. You still have to show living expenses. Flight alone is 600k. Then quarantine will take some money.
You're going to get it next time. Just find a way of showing like 4 million naira from parents or a sponsor It is a bad idea for a single person with full funding to mention sponsor. In my experience, the visa officer will focus on your sponsor and evaluate you like someone with scholarship. Full funding with 1m personal account is fine. Some people with less have gotten their visa. The applicant may have made a small but egregious mistake in the application. |

In the form, where they asked "My expenses will be paid by", choose "Myself". lilangel20: Thank you so much But I would still indicate my sponsor as full finding right?

technix: Please read her details well. She doesn't even need any personal account to add.
I am a fully funded scholar here in Canada, I used only funding letter for myself.
When I wanted to apply for spouse and kid a year later, I did same thing.
So you did not add any personal or parent account for your student visa application? Just scholarship that cover tuition and living expenses? |

As long as the school offers the course the child has strong interest in, the applicant is okay to go for a college. I have seen a 17yr old, finished waec, applied for an advanced diploma in St Claire college and was approved. Though his elder sis is in canada already. Thanks for the information. ![cheesy](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cheesy.png) |

No, no and no, I didn't. And I have renewed my study permit twice after first approval. Renewed spousal permit and child visit visa, twice after first approval. If fact, the last renewal was approved yesterday. I have *NEVER* used any account statement apart from funding letter. Osemigho:

I left a marketing job in april 2021, currently just doing some freelance jobs. I graduated in 2015 chemical engineering. My program is Msc Energy and Material science Osemigho:
For the next one, please write "university of ... scholarship". If the space if not enough, Full Scholarship. Next, when did you graduate? Are you currently working? If yes, did you submit your employment documents? If no, please do next time.
Can your parent afford to send like 500k to you? If yes, let them send it to your account and write a letter of moral support, not financial support, for you. In the letter, they should explain how proud they are about your achievements, admission, and scholarship. Then mention that your scholarship will cover your tuition and living expenses in Canada hey, but they transferred .. to support your visa and travel expenses. They should also mention that they will be happy to welcome you back after the program.
Finally, your SOP/LOE. You have to emphasize your scholarship and plan(s) after study and return to Nigeria in it. If going for masters and interested in research or academia, you are also allowed to say you will progress to a PhD.
All the best.

Good afternoon everyone,
I registered my business name on CAC's website on the 4th of September 2019 of which it was active then. So today I decided to check the validity of my CAC certificate prior to my son's study visa application, but surprisingly my business was tagged as inactive. Would this be a problem to my son's application? as I am his sponsor. If yes how can this issue be resolved |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by lilangel20: 3:59pm On Feb 02, 2022 |

Congratulations once more and may the land of Canada favor you. TeeMade: Good afternoon house, long post alert!!!
My journey to getting SP started in August 2020 and has now ended in praise to the glory of God. I will be detailed in this post hoping that someone can learn from it, same way I learnt a lot from other people's post on this platform. To the gurus @frankrobbn, @justmellow and others, I hail oh... See timeline below:
1st Application - Submitted on Aug. 28th 2020 - Biometrics done on Sept. 2nd 2020 - Refused on Sept. 12th 2020 Resaon: Purpose of visit In gcms note: VO stated the following: 1. Study gap (despite the fact that I'm studying an MBA with a specialization in Professional Sales and Business Development) and I have over 10yrs of work experience in the business field, out of which about 7yrs is in sales/business development till the time of the application. 2. Age which was 34 at the time 3. Fact that I got a US tourist visa in Jan. 2017, had a child in the US with the visa in Jan. 2018 and my visa renewal was refused in Oct. 2019. Na so dem write oh and no be sey I owe money oh, all relevant documents were provided and I visited the US in June 2017 before having the baby there in 2018 but as Trump no gree renew the visa in 2019, wetin we go do?
2nd Application - Submitted on October 28th 2020 (This was before I received the gcms note because I was trying to meet up with January 2021 start date but thankfully, the issues raised were already addressed with proper documentation because I had joined this platform by then. Thanks to all the gurus). The only document I didn't add was "Change of Intent" email that I sent to the US Embassy in Nigeria after I decided to use my tourist Visa for child birth. - Upfront medical passed on Nov. 20th 2020 - NSE request letter received on Dec. 1st 2020 - NSE requests submitted on Dec. 13th 2020 (used this opportunity to include the left out document and carefully explained it in the brief LOE submitted with the request. - Refusal letter came on January 24th 2021 Reasons: purpose of visit, ties to Canada, financial status/assets, language test. Gcms note stated the following: 1. Application pre-review comments stated that I had a child in the US and my visa was not renewed afterwards, hence, my intent to study was in doubt. I was livid seeing this because an application had just been wrongly judged even before going through the facts and documents provided. 2. The VO's comment was practically thesame as the pre-review comment so it became clear to me that the refusals were purely based on bias because of the child birth in the US and the visa renewal refusal - see wetin Trump cause.
By this time, I knew it would take more than a re-application to tackle and clear the bias. I needed to do more so I decided to do a JR.
- JR commenced in March 2021 - My lawyer had 30days to file all documents - All documents submitted by April 2021 - IRCC correspondence had 30days to respond - Response letter received in May 2020 and stated that they will not do any filling but they retained the right to file if the Judge decides to hear the case. (Sounded like they were trying to buy time but I didn't find it funny at all). It was a long wait before the Federal court judge responded
- Sept. 15th 2021 - Judge responded that based on documents provided in the application, he can't understand why the application was refused and scheduled a hearing for Dec. 8th 2021. - IRCC correspondence conceded upon receiving the judge's response, requested to settle out of court. - They decided to set aside the refusal decision, reopen my application and have another VO review it. I'll also be allowed to submit updated IMM forms, LOA and any other documents I deemed fit to support my application. - At this point, my lawyer advised that I should pay a substantial part if my school fees if not all and I did that. - Also, I had renewed my UK visa for 2years while in JR process cos I was planning a vacation and I included this to show that I do not have any immigration issues. Also added (as argued by my lawyer in her submission) that the US refusal was based on the then US government's ban on African countries including Nigeria and not because I did anything wrong. - This time, I didn't submit an LOE to explain my conditions but a statutory declaration with bullet point to address every concern/explain every point and it was notarized and sealed by the Canadian lawyer.
Application reopening timeline: - Profile update on Sept. 30th 2021 - Request for updated documents on Nov. 3rd 2021 - Documents submitted on Dec. 1st 2021 - Medical request received on Dec. 8th 2021 (exactly 1 week from the date of submission) - Medicals done on Dec. 20th 2021 - Medicals passed on Dec. 29th 2021 - PPR received on Jan. 12th 2022 - Passport sent through DHL to VFS Lagos on Jan. 20th 2022 (I was out of the country when I got the PPR, submitted as soon as I returned) - Received 4 emails on Jan 24th 2022 confirming receipt of my documents in VFS Abuja office and confirming it's been sent to IRCC office - Conterfoil and LOI dropped on Jan. 26th 2022 - Also received 4 emails confirming that my decision envelope is ready for collection on same 26th - Received a mail confirming that my decision envelope has been received by VFS Lagos on Jan. 28th 2022 - DHL delivered my passport in the morning, today Jan. 31st 2022.
N.B: Compare the responses on Jan. 24th 2021 and Jan. 24th 2022. In exactly 1 year, I was smiling about something that got me worried and angry. Stay with God regardless of your current situation, He is too faithful to fail and He loves us too much to ignore.
All thanks to God, it has ended in praise...
I wish all PPR hopefuls all the very best and reasons to smile as God fulfills your heart desires this week and beyond.

You may need to contact gurus or more experienced persons to look at your profile and documents submitted. Whoever you choose is your decision. However, try to increase your account balance to 700k to 1m minimum and submit a good LOE. You will need the LOE because your experience and proposed program no match. Also order your GCMS note to know the real issue. All the best. |
