@ Gravitation 2

Tuition: 13,614
Room and board: 8,681(most of d time is best to put a minimum of 10,000 CAD here)..if dats wat sch stated fine..

Other: Blank...(never leave blank...this is where transportation, little procurement and other miscellaneous expenses come in..Even if u have more dan enough funds available and you leave it blank, you are telling them that you sponsor is not ready to support U in this portion even with the enough money available....sometimes expenses encountered in this region are even more than tuition sometimes (HERE TOO, TRY FILL IN A MINIMUM OF 10,000-12000)

Funds available: 52,000....(HERE, when you sum tuition, room and board, and others..make sure u have addition of of 10,000-12000 extra more) for example (13,614+10000+12000+16386)=52000......(Perfectly OK)

PROOFS...(PROPER IN AND OUT FLOW....with balance more than 52000....say (60000cad plus)

I BELIEVE THEY WUD ALWAYS CHECK UR FILLED FORMS FIRST, SO ONCE U DONT FILL THEM WELL, D PROOF SUBMITTED WUDNT EVEN MATTER WEDA DEY R PERFECT OR NOT..

Try work on this. i also stated 52000 as funds available too..dats aw i broke it down.

thesoj:
Lol. true true. I like the way your mind works.

eetti:
Lets get something straight.
1) you do not sum anything up to get funds available for your stay .
2) you need at least $10,000 per year to support yourself.
If your school likes let them specify that you need $8,681 for accommodation and feeding. What about books, transport and clothes?
CIC wants you to have $10,000 so you can provide for the 'other' needs.
@graviton you used your own hand to kill yourself you should not have written $52,000 for funds available for your stay.
Do you have $52,000 as pocket money? That section implies the $10,000 and above requirement specified by CIC for all provinces in Canada with the exception of Quebec where the requirement is $12,000 and above.

I sit to be corrected sha...

Graviton2:
@thesoj, @berexio1, @thebae, @ahyotomiwa

So You are all saying I should:

- Boost my sponsor's account to perhaps 12M
- Fill about $5k-6k in the "Other" section, so the combined about for both the "Room and board" section + "Other" section equals or is more than $10k

Am I missing anything else?

TheBae:
I would advice you to beef it a tad bit higher than 12M since you're going for UG. Also get a more buoyant co-sponsor.
Also, as @deedee0 pointed out, having a fixed deposit will work in your favour if your sponsor states that it's solely for your study and it matures in due time.
I think the first thing you need to do is to really think about not refiring anytime too soon. A 3rd denial is not what you need. Take your time to make things right.

eetti:


Having the stated amount in the sponsor's account does nail it, you have to show prove that the sponsor would give you that amount of money, this people don't earn that in a year and you claim that amount of money would be available to you. It sounds fishy.

deedee0:

Exactly!
Graviton2 I think you should fix the money. Personally I dnt trust NG banks! And can't leave 12M in an account oo! TheBae.. If u laugh there
Just take your time.

Graviton2:


Thank you. I will work on it. I just want to know where I stand on the "Room, board and Other" issue.

Also, in the "funds available for stay" was I wrong to have filled 52k, should I dial it down.

I'm beginning to feel very depressed right now

Joe980:
Don't be depressed bro..."it's not over till you win". As regards "Room, board and other; you are cool with it, would just advice you input about 5k for others. Add all these together and top up with miscellaneous i.e flight etc (6k). This would flow for available funds. Key things I observed missing in your documents are; your dad's properties (these are financial stand) and would want you to ensure submitting six months bank statement. Giving them 3 months and 2months could have kept the vo in the dark while trying to decide your sponsors capabilities.

berexio1:
it doesn't have to be 10k exact..CIC gives a margin of 10k for living expenses for a year..This includes food, room, board..In my opinion..Room and Board + Other should add up to atleast 10k. Bt expences vary and the figure he put there is quite reasonable too..

Insufficient fund is what it is..Boost ur sponsor's account..U are going for UG program..If grads are requiring 6m..urs should be double that..12m in ur sponsor's account will do the trick..

Cheers!

Graviton2:


I included my father's company documents, ownership documents for 2cars and a recent government contract award letter worth 13M.

You are saying I should input around how much exactly for the "funds available" section? I didn't quite understand that part in your post.

TheBae:
You can go to IOM without booking, it's only advisable to book, not compulsory. But you have to pay and go with your teller or you won't be attended to. From what I've been hearing lately, IOM is getting fussy about high blood pressure and demanding cardio regularly these days so if you're not confident about that, you might want to try Q-life. I don't know how long it takes them to send medical results though

Omonjoe:
NO.I guess ur school is Conestoga College
If u re applying for ur TRV online, u will be asked if worked is an essential component of ur studies and since its Co-OP, u answer YES. u will be asked to upload an evidence of work requirement in study. So I will advice u email plemieux@conestogac.on.ca nd also copy internationaladmissions@conestogac.on.ca requesting for a Letter stating that work is a necessary requirement for the completion of ur studies.
I am also going for same course Jan 2016

TemmieDeal:
Pls am new on nairaland. But this canada pgd prog talk seems very interesting. I also wana go jan 2016 and am equally appkying for pgd in human resources. Wana know aw long and aw sure the whole process is. Esp for conestoga college. And aw the work permit tin works.

thesoj:
Thanks a lot for responding! Yeah I have decided that we will not defer the admission. The sponsor will prepay one year's tuition (will attach receipt) to the school and will also fund my bro's domiciliary account in the amount of his estimated annual living expenses; both the sponsor and my bro will explain this to the VO. The dom account in my bro's name will be the only SOA he will submit with the application. His own regular SOA is close to zero lol.

He has been self-employed as a freelance computer programmer for the past four years, since after NYSC; he will attach the CAC document of his company registration. He will also attach notarized Attestation of Work letters from a number of his clients (one is a hospital, another is an accounting firm, another is a school), describing the software he built for them. He will also attach snapshots of some of the enterprise software he has created. He won't be submitting payslips or an employment letter. (Imo, his chances of getting the visa are lower than my sister's, but we will try our best). Imo, the risk that he will get a "Personal Assets & Financial Status" is nontrivial so we will write a dynamite SOP that is persuasive and comprehensive. My bro is going for a PGD in Mobile Solutions (Apps) Development, he has a BSc in Computer Science.

Unless I change my mind at the last minute, I have decided that the sponsor will state the only other dependent (my sister) in his sponsorship letter. The sponsor will also attach receipts showing he's already paid for my sister's annual expenses. I'll play it safe by providing all information to the VO, given that there's more than enough funds in the sponsor's account for both.

I want to thank everyone else (@Teesboy @TheBae @SeraSera @deedee0 @tnuola @Team12 @berexio1) that pitched in their suggestion in response to my question. Much appreciated. Any other suggestion is appreciated too. Thanks

ayooluwatoni:

Stating the dependent should not limit your brother's chances. But I don't think you need to go into full details about your sister, that is, she's studying in Canada. You can leave that to the VO to determine; while you just state she's starting a master's prog which will last for 2 years in January and her sponsorship will not in any way affect ur brother's. Pls if u also av time to go through the process of sponsor's bank statement and other sponsor's doc u provided for your sister, pls provide for him too......it worked for your sister, let's hope it will work for him too. I believe it should give more weight to the sponsor's claim of having sufficient funds to sponsor both of them...... No matter how you calculate the living expenses, make sure it is not less than 10k cad, even if it means making the variance "miscellaneous expenses".

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

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.

tnuola:


Don't defer since all you're waiting for is for your passport to get to you.
Mail your school to inform them , print their response and show it at the POE, schools normally give internatioal students grace to resume a bit late.

It is if you defer till jan wen ure trv is ready now that you'll have issues at the poe, what you should do now is book your ticket and prepare for your trip

Gamboh55:
.
The issue is that when I explained to the school, they immediately told me that they will defer my admission to january so I can have time to pick my passport n make arrangement. I a bit paranoid

thesoj:
Go through these links posted by richcasey, and read the last one hundred pages if you are in a hurry. Preferably, start from page one of Part 8 (and/or any previous Part).

cutiefy:
tanx ayooluwatoni, my cgpa is over 4.0 . do u ve any idea, the school I can apply with low tuition. tanx

I thought the same until minnietope applied for the spousal open work permit with her hubby and got it.

My husband applied for SOWP not EE.

sholay2011:
You must be a good researcher. The way you just hyperlink info and reference to the particular source of info is admirable.
Did you have to type the URL or how did you do the hyperlink reference? I want to learn sir. Thanks
