Graviton2, I think you are good to go.
More so, in the application Form, where your asked for school fees, housing fees and other expenses, then you are further asked how much is available for study...

It's always a good point to add up everything and add extra amount untop of it.

E.g
My school fees was 33,000 CAD
Hostel is 14, 000 CAD, I left others blank and fund available, I wrote 280,000CAD ((hanks to the scholarship) no VO can refuse that based on insufficient fund.

Note: you can only submit your application after you get your e-medical receipt, since it's upfront.
Goodluck.

Tnx Oseni....its actually the questionnaire attached to that form am talking about...I can't type on it...don't know how to go about filling it.

teesboy:

I concur as well and think the best thing going forward is for an applicant to always state exactly how much they are getting from their sponsors and for a sponsor to do same in their letter of sponsorship so that the VO is under no illusion as to total funds available for the applicant's study.

Team12:
That was exactly what I did!

TALK2FABO:
Is it college or UNI?

Team12:
I bind every "Esther" on this forum, in Jesus name...

lucky032:
Plz peeps,is it the address correct to address my sponsorship/statement of purpose letter.

The Visa Officer
High Commission Of Canada
4 Anifowoshe Street
Victoria Island Lagos
Nigeria.

OGreene:
How una dey get this scholarship na Please tell me

Team12:
Yes. I mean if the total expense is 21,000, you should state that you have may be like 25,000 available for your stay and the amount in your sponsor's account should be more that the 25,000. You feel me? But make sure that the amount you stated as available funds ties with the amount your dad states in his sponsorship letter o (if at all he stated it; and he should state that the 25,000 is the MINIMUM amount per year).

Since you have a little brother who is obviously over dependent on your parents, the VO does not expect your parents to spend all their money on you alone...

It's good that you have submitted other documents to proof source of future cash flow. That shows that your parents can afford to cover your expenses in subsequent years. So you are covered.

chrisviral:


CIC app forms.
Scholarship Letter (as proof of finance).
Passport page.
Representative form.
Admission letter.
CAQ

That's all.

Graviton2:


I don't really understand the bolded - Do you mean if the total expenses for my study is around 21,000cad, I should have higher than that for my upkeep? That's about 40,000cad...Please clarify.

Undergrad. I'm 20 and I have a younger brother who is 11, how's that?

Your moniker made me think of Basketball..Dream team 12...lol

ADEMOLAAAUA:
@ forleite,what school did u apply for the graduate certificate course and please send me the details,Thanks.

mevisbleek:


Solo8 I disagree with you on "does not worth the price". I did an MBA and must say all my class mates got hired from internship. I mean they got really good gig. I'm a living testimony Bro.
A few got gigs as marketing managers at Rogers, a couple got the RBC rotational program, a couple got Scotiabank international development program, a few got into imperial oil as territory manager, remainder got gigs in siemens and stuff. So, it's worth it and I will do it again and again and again and as well advise everyone to

teesboy:

i'm not an expert but here is what i'll suggest you can check out the Express Entry program on CIC website to see if you have a relevant occupation + the work experience required and if you are fortunate you could become a permanent resident in short time. Furthermore, hope you are aware that you get a postgraduate work permit after your program and it's dependent on how long is your program though a 2-year program may get a 3-year PGWP so review these options and plan accordingly.
Please in your spare time could you list your application documents and the changes you made after your refusal so others can learn from you as well.

Thanks for the idea, i learnt i will get 8-months PGWP . Infact my field is listed in the express entry program, i have work experience + a band score of 7 in IELTS. so I guess am good to go by the special grace of God.

This difference in my first and second application is as thus,

chrisviral:

Yeah I am. Thanks. Looking forward to the parties, fun and all, plus lots of beer.
*you don't happen to have lots of coats and canvas to give away?

Solo8:


Fair enough, maybe it's just among my field, my circle and my mentors. I just think being an engineer in the energy industry (and a Canadian citizen) , there are so many other certifications and educational routes I could take that'll cost me less money, less time and less workload and will impact my pay check positively almost immediately. I feel MBA has more weight among people in other field than it does ion ours, at least earlier in your career. I might consider it when I'm way older.

I don't have an MBA though, so you know what doors it has potentially opened for you better than I do. I'm weird like that sometimes.

omooba2015:

@forelite, i want to ask, if the school state ur cost of tuitions fees in your letter of (offer of Admission) and do they ask for deposit before you go ahead. Thanks

forelite:



YES THEY STATED THE BREAK DOWN/FULL TUITION IN MY LETTER

teesboy:

smart move to have done your IELTS before now what you need to do now is have your transcripts sent directly from your school and your credentials assessed as soon as possible by WES Canada so you can get yourself into the express entry selection pool sharp sharp, and if the stars align in your favour you may get an invitation to apply for PR before you complete your eight months program. Canada awaits you and I wish you all the very best

MY SCHOOL ASKED FOR INITIAL DEPOSIT TO BE PAID LATEST BY JULY 1ST AND SECOND PAYMENT TO BE PAID BY END OF NOVEMBER, 2015.
