Hi people,

So i finally got a letter of acceptance for my MSc program from the university of Manitoba and i have started the online study permit application. On the part for uploading the letter of acceptance, it says the letter has to contain the exact tuition fee for the program. My acceptance letter does not contain this, however the information is present on the school website. Is it necessary to contact the school to include this information or there is some other way i can go about this?

Thanks.

zaidasqueen:
hi all...wanna know if its Canadian dollars or us dollars that schools in Canada quote their fees/tuition fees?

TheBae:
If the school can provide that, fine.
If not, many people applied with letters that didn't contain that. Print out the page that shows that from the Uni website. If it's not detailed enough, do a spreadsheet to probable expenses.

obiscolly:

Thanks much for the prompt reply. I am going for a 2 year program. Does my sponsor's bank balance have to prove ability to sponsor my 2 year program as a whole?

TheBae:
CAD unless otherwise stated

TheBae:
CAD unless otherwise stated

TheBae:
That would be a plus but it really just needs to show enough for one year tuition and living expenses and more for the sponsor to use for himself. They don't expect anyone to empty his/her account for you. You can get a co-sponsor to be on a safe side

Lool I just knew someone was going to quote the long post
@thesoj 5 Eyes family.. Congrats, d next person should move to Australia
Where's darefestus?

hayqinsbFX:
When did you apply for the admission?
How long did it take to get a reply
You could print the page for tuition on the schools website.

sholay2011:

Congrats bro!

My letter of acceptance also didn't state the exact tuition fee which I used for TRV application. And I honestly don't think it's a big deal so far you can showcase your financial capacity the way(s) @TheBae has pointed out. Besides, one's fees will eventually depend on the courses you register for I think.

Best wishes.

obiscolly:

I applied on the 30th of May and i got an acceptance letter on the 10th of this month. So that's roughly 2.5 months. A condition for securing a place though was getting a supervisor. That's why it took that long. I got a supervisor like 3 weeks ago.

hayqinsbFX:
I'm looking at non thesis....does that mean the process could be faster?

obiscolly:


Thanks man. Did you also apply to Manitoba? One question please. I'm currently filling out the form for student permit made outside of canada (IMM1294E). For the part of the form that asks for tuition, room/board and other fees, am i to fill in the costs for one year or the costs for 2 years combined?

sholay2011:

Yep, also got admission to Manitoba. TRV still processing. It is well.

As for your question, this was how I filled mine (with respect to my tuition fee):

Tuition: 8900 CAD (for 1 year)
Room/ Board/ Other fees: 10, 000 CAD
Amount available: 30, 000 CAD


Amount in my sponsor's Account balance: $34, 000 US

Note the amount I stated as available isn't the entire amount in my Sponsor's account. ..even though the sponsor is my dad.

obiscolly:

Wow! I'm glad to find someone also going there. I'm guessing you were admitted for the winter session? For the room/board/ other fees quoted above is the $10,000 for all combined? Because on the form there was a field for room/board and another for other fees. Sorry for asking so much questions..lol. God will see us through.

sholay2011:

I was admitted for fall.

This was how I filled it:
Room/Board: -
Other fees: 10, 000 CAD.

I left Room/Board fees empty.

obiscolly:

Will you be living someone you know over there? Just wondering why you left it blank?

hayqinsbFX:
Our fellow Nigerians are the ones closing the door on genuine students and this really pains.


The rate at which Nigerians with study visa defer admission to January just to work some more is alarming and colleges have called attention of CIC to it.

Personally I fully support the removal of work permit for students while they study if that will lessen their strong stance in issuing study visa.

But I fully support the postgraduate work permit program which I feel should be upheld.
A student that have studied fully has the right to stay back and work to either get experience or make some money.

Avalon316:


Nigerians are not the only people who do this. Are you trying to justify their bias towards Nigerians? What will you do if you get to Canada 2 weeks after your resumption date?

Generally speaking,Canada need us more than we need them. A country with just less than 40 million people need millions of people at a very quick rate. In few years time when most of their workers retire,there are few replacements for them. They barely have enough manpower for their military -a paltry 119,000 military personnel. They also have one of the most severe weather conditions in the world.

I know they are trying to be careful in just letting anyone into their country but then they cant get it all perfect. The U.S.A is the most powerful country because of the contributions of the immigrants who constitute more than 50% of their total population. Canada need to toe this line or they will be short of man power in the nearest future.

You are always making assumptions. You think the population of Nigerians here is noticeable compared to Indians? That anyone deferred their admission is not a crime. It is something legal. It doesn't close any door to anyone else. As far as I know Indians are into far more fraudulent practices as regards immigration than Nigerians. They come here on a study permit then get married to their fellow Indian who's a PR as soon as they land. Nigerians barely do that. At my work place we've got five (5) Indians who did that to get PR status so just chill abeg. Nobody block your way.

hayqinsbFX:
If you go to Indians thread you will also see how the canadian VO threat them at the embassy, so they're not left out in receiving the stick.

@obiscolly
Don't leave that box blank o! The VO may assume you are saying you don't have money for room/board. Or it may cast doubt about your finances in the VO's mind. Don't leave your fate to the VO's arbitrary interpretation, try to be unambiguous and specific about all important detail. My sister left that box blank on her first application and was rejected for insufficient funds, even with lots of money on the bank statements.

I recommend putting $10k under room/board and then put another amount (even if small, e.g. $3k) in the "other" box.

Yeah, they get the "stick" too but don't tell me your fellow Nigerians made things bad for you. That's not acceptable.
