2. Family ties in canada and in country of residence
3.Purpose of visit
4.Personal assets and finanical status.
Do i need more sponsors or what?
How do i tackle...am so confused right now


My dear it is well. Please take note of the following when reapplying.


1. Personal assets and financial status: Means the VO thinks the 5.1m in your sponsor's account may not be enough to cater for your tuition and stay, since you stated that your tuition plus stay would cost $26,000 dollars, and thats about N5million.

Your brother may have a wife or his family to cater to or he may even have to withdraw some of the money for something urgent. Hence the money is too thin and does not have enough tolerance.
Do you consider having a joint sponsor?

2. Family ties: Means the VO is not satisfied you have enough ties here in Nigeria to return after your program. How many siblings do you have? Did you give enough information about them by submitting their birth certificates? Did you submit the birth certificates of your parents? Does your dad own a company here?

Are you employed? What have you been doing since you graduated school? Did you submit an SOP to explain in brief why you chose your program, why you chose Canada and why you would return to Nigeria after your program?

You need something to convince the VO that you will return to Nigeria.


3. Purpose of visit:
Are you going for an UG or PG? What course did you study in your UG and what course do you intend going for in Manitoba? Are they related? Please provide these info so we can help you reapply.

Don't worry, it will be fine. Just chill and prepare to reapply.

Godymn:


Yeah, i actually thought about that.

Since one of ma elder sibling will be done with school nxt year, that leaves me with 2 other siblings.
Was planning on filling the four of us then saying two other dependants since one will be done with school early next year.

My dad has about 3 landed properties though.

I still dont know if that would fly.

If i cant get a co-sponsor, my last resort will be applyin like that hoping for the best and God's favour.

I was suggesting Samsung galaxy because it will work here not that I use my MTN as my regular phone but to track those who try to call me and I dont want to give my number. In such instance, I will call you anonymously.

teana4040:

ayooluwatoni:

When do you plan to apply for visa? What school are you going? What program are you going for? Try your best to get a co sponsor, then in the family information form, fill in all your members, don't lie abt that. But ensure your dad include in the letter of sponsorship that your elder bro has graduated and probably working (nysc), then you younger siblings are in the secondary school....stating their tuition fees (make sure it's a very cheap tuition), and no other dependent relation!
It shall be well!

teana4040:
Yes,i teach computer science,i left.high school in 2007,i finished my diploma in 2011,did computer appreciation.course and start teaching afterwards

hayqinsbFX:
Well, the long break in studies cud b attributed to the decision...
U never can say..
How long waas ur diploma?
The fact that u have a job without a UG is something too..and it's not a voluntary Job to pass time...

Says much about ur financial stability in ur homee country....
U sudnt tink too much to make a decision at that UG stage...
Maybe d vo was also tinkin in that line...

teana4040:
@HayqinsbFx..So.wht do i do now?

ayooluwatoni:


Wow! This is interesting! Are you in Canada already? Did you go with a one way? Why me con dey find return ticket Like say bomb dey my head....lol. pls reply ASAP

Godymn:


Just trying to plan ahead and arrange myself. Plan on applying next year for Fall 2016 by God's grace. I'm looking at UNB or UFV going for UG in Computer Information System

Yeah, i dont plan on lying though, just random thoughts that came into my head but decided to shake them off.

The direction you gave about the letter of sponsorship from my dad, that was how i plan to arrange that. I plan on giving a realistic break-down.

I'l try to get a co-sponsor though.

If i eventually get one, like how much should the co-sponsor state that would make sense with what my dad has?

And yes, It is well Bro.

***Appreciate***.

senarthor:


You are free to get a one way ticket as a student or Permanent Resident and expecially when your visa is like one year valid..... I work with travel agency and am talking with experience.....so go and get your one way ticket if you have gotten your TRV...

omooba2015:

You mean, our MTN feel work in Canada...

skymorbabs:
Tanx thesoj: Yeap..... I mean applyin for anoda degree in geology wt d hp of convincin d VO ova d 3rd class grade wch hv less job chances.
Wats Ur opinion plssss

ayooluwatoni:

People wonders won't end oooo! I searched for a one-way flight to Saint John's, NL and I got the cheapest for 303k, so I decided to check a return ticket with the same parameters o (date and airport), and I got the cheapest for 280k. I know you won't believe so I'm attaching the sceen shots here.....
So my advise, even if you don't plan to return, check for prices for both return ticket and one way ticket

GboyegaD:


Mine does perfectly. Here is my account balance since January.

thesoj:
I don't have too strong an opinion on your strategy, but it sounds fishy even if truly genuine. You need to think like a VO!

If I were the VO, here are the doubts in my mind:
1. why should I allow this applicant into Canada for the same exact program & degree he/she already did in his/her country?
2. why did this applicant not apply to a PGD program in Canada instead?
3. why should i believe that this applicant is truly going to study given the above questions?

You would need to convince the VO in your SOP why you are going this unusual route. If I were the VO, I would need an extremely cogent argument in order to eliminate my doubts about the intent of your visa application. I think you may be able to convince the VO, but the burden of proof on you is very high.

Why are you not considering doing a PGD and then a masters thereafter? With this route, it would be easier to make a case to the VO. Your current approach seems very risky (but not impossible) to me, especially because you will be studying the exact same course and degree.

senarthor:


Please are you heading to MUN? and which airline and date that you saw 280k?

GboyegaD:

Can you help me edit the post I beg of you? Thanks.

ayooluwatoni:

Oh! So you've not applied to a UNI yet? Hmmm? So why do you wanna wait till fall 2016? I hope you're not idle? You need not be idle o, as it may stall your chances, or should I say give you extra work convincing the VO u're serious. Most schools admit 3 times a year for UG programs. As per the Co-Sponsor, would be good if you get someone with a minimum of 5m, so while your dad pay your tuition, he may be paying your living expenses.....stuff like dat sha

TheBae:
Alright. The Internet apps are definitely the way forward. Thanks

ayooluwatoni:

Thank you bro! Really appreciate! !! But the latest development now is, the return tickets I've seen so far are cheaper than one way....sounds crazy but that's just what I saw! Got return ticket for abt 280k and one way for over 300k...... flying to St. John's (YYT) from Lagos date, 3 Sept, return date 30th Dec......U can just check! Tnx

Godymn:


Naah, i'm not idle. Other aspect of the visa requirement is the least of my problem. My major concern is on the financial aspect. Thanks for your concern.

When you say 5M, is it the minimum SOA he/she should have then state like 2M that would be readily available for me or the amount he/she should state (all 5M) in the sponsorship letter that would be available for me?

***Appreciate***

senarthor:


Am not doubting you but can you tell me which airline because am on all airline price GDS right now and the cheapest I got was Sept 4 and return Dec 31 with virgin Atlantic for 303k... To buttress my fact and figure, I will attached the screen shot now...

ayooluwatoni:

It tool me so much time before I got this too. In fact 303k is better compared to what I got the first time. Got abt 400+k when I checked travelstart.com
I will also attach a screen shot now, got that just this evening on www.momondos.com, virgin atlantic + Air Canada, you should get the same combo on priceline.com and flyfar.ca . You should also know that price drops at mid night tooo, so try and search btw 12am and 5am
