Nairalanders, pls I need ur help. In 2017, I used an agent to apply for the USA B1/B2 visa. And as part of packaging I claimed that I had travel experience by stamping South African visa on my old passport page. Though I was denied visa not because of the fake SA visa but because I did not meet the eligibility at that time.
Now I want to apply for Canadian student visa, I want to know if I should still claim to had travelled to South Africa since US and Canada share information?
Would Canada request for my old passport if I should claim to had travelled to South Africa?
Or I should fill that I have no travel history in my application?

Pls, I am in dilemma right now.

johnstan:


A few pages back someone said they were notified by DHL that 2 way service was no longer obtainable.

VFS have their courier delivery service and I'm sure you will be notified once it is available for pickup

i sent mine with dhl 2 way on the 16th of November got it back on Saturday here.. 19k total ...i sent to abuja

That's great. The info I quoted was as at early this week, except the person was lying about his feedback from DHL.

Here's the quote.

I don't know about visa sharing info with South Africa.

I think you should focus on stating that you got your US visa denied and move on.
Travel history is not a must, so many people here have gotten approved without any travel history.

Good luck.

The person dey jonze,dhl wey dey find money
and dey even have vfs details in their system already..seems dey do it often

to amd fro tracking

jaydave:
You are wrong .. what they requested is atleast a year calculation not the total year .
Then u will further show them proof to convince them that you will still be getting funding from your sponsor for subsequent year without necessarily working in Canada..
right on this NL in 2014 , I have read and undergrad that got approved with 7.7m in his uncle’s acct and he further showed d assets his uncle has

I didn’t say you have to have that money in your account, we are on the same page. The person has to prove how the rest would be met without recourse to public funds. Also while the act says show proof of one year funding, some VO like to see everything. If you show how much you have relative to how much you want to spend and they are close, often than not they will state the study at this point is not a wise investment.

Lixusheng:

Well that might be her experience with DHL, or with their office in her location.
I don't think anyone would deliberately choose to be in the situation she found her self. You understand.

Thanks @Johnstan.
Is there any place to fill in travel experience in Canadian visa application form? If none, my fear is addressed.

Good day House, Thank you for the advice so far. Please I need a suggestion. I was just given admission to Durham College but was told to pay the sum of 8k CAD to secure my seat.
Is it possible to use only the LOA without paying to apply for a student visa?
Or if I am to pay the fees? Please what is the cheapest rate can I find now? Flywire is charging around 640$/N1.

Please help me ooo. According to their website, I actually thought the tuition deposit for Durham was $500.

Wow, this is speed of light approval. Congrats. May the land of Canada favour u in Jesus name.

Yes, the application portal has a portion where you disclose any previous visa refusals.

Hi,

There's a portion on the application portal to upload your LOA while applying so it's needed.
Flywire has several payment options, However, people with Naira choose to use local bank transfer and that's where form A comes in - you will be charged at Bank rate but will wait for like almost 2 months.
Other options will require you to use a USD card or transfer from a USD account.

Don't forget to meet your admission conditions so you don't loose the admission.

Good luck.

Thank you. Its the Form A that's the main issue. I can't get any amount like that from the bank. To not lose admission I have to pay the fees. 2.7 using the official bank rate. 5.3m using flywire.
Thats a very huge difference.

You can either initiate the payment and notify your school of the disbursement time frame to see if they would wait
Or
Use black market rate to make the payment. (Fund a USD account and use a USD debit card)

Flywire doesn't convert and make the payment for you. They only receive the funds and send to your school.

Not at all. When asked if you have been denied or requested to leave Canada and it’s territory before, just say yes. A column will be provided for you to state the reason, just state it and also mention the year.

Good luck.

You can’t pay less than what you have been required to pay as deposit to secure your seat. How long do you have until expiration to make the deposit?

And I’m not sure you saw it correctly that tuition deposit is $500, maybe you saw tuition refund will be less $500 administrative fee.

If it’s up to 2-3 months, you can try applying through form A which will be charged based on CBN rate.

Good luck

Olayinkaji:

Wow! That’s a short period, my advice!

Initiate the payment via CBN portal, take a screenshot and write to international admissions office, ask them to please extend time to make payment that it takes long for your home country financial institution to process the transaction.

This was what I did for mine tho...

@Johnstan please which account did you pay the sms fee?

Yes a very short one, going to the fact that the resumption time is still May 2023. I would do as you have advised thanks a lot.
