Are u going to university of Manitoba? or university of winnipeg?

Am going to university of Manitoba

Just read Part 8 (or Part 6, or Part 7). Actually, first read from page 1 of Part9 till this page... this will answer some of your initial questions. And then you may progress to reading Part8.

Also, some of your questions like how to get an apartment is something you shouldn't be worried about yet, until after you apply for TRV. Additionally, acquaint yourself with Google as well... it should become your good friend.

No it is not a guaranteed denial. You just have to hope for the VO's generosity.

Anything is possible, though your chances are more like 50:50 (or lower) in this situation. But given that it is your dad/parent that is your sponsor, and he seems to have a good source of income and high net-worth assets, the VO could still give you.

Don't stress yourself about it. What is done is done. This is what is called a sunk cost that you shouldn't stress yourself worrying about. What you can do is come up with a contingency plan of what do in the case the app isn't approved. So, I'd advise you find a way to boost your dad's account (and/or brokerage/investment accounts) to at least N9m within the next 4-6 weeks. In case the app isn't approved, you would then be able to reapply immediately with sufficient liquid funds.

I know i am disturbing you all with my situation.
But i just wanted to know if there is anybody who has successfully gotten the student permit in my situation.

Yes, probably. I think someone posted a while ago about someone else that got their study permit TRV with a small balance on the account.
Did your dad include any statement of shares/stocks in the application? This would help considerably as these are liquid assets. It is definitely possible that the VO would give you since your dad's annual income and assets (10m and 40m, respectively) are both high. I don't think you should worry about it any further, at this point the best thing is to just wait and be optimistic (while considering contingency plans) since you have already applied.

thesoj:
Lol. Thanks for asking. Yeah he and I were preoccupied with it for the past month and half.
We submitted it this Monday and he did biometrics the next day. We did online route. The documentation for his application was as perfect as we could make it. Yet, he is a complex applicant because he doesn't have an employment letter... he has been a software developer for four years since NYSC and he didn't register his company (until recently... though we didn't include the recent CAC as it may look fishy) so for proof of what he's been doing, we included attestation of work letters from several of his clients, and also included several descriptive multi-page demos/screenshots of some of the software he's developed. His CV was also detailed & concise about the different software & clients and how he wrote the software. He's really good at software... I think the demos will impress the VO. Most of his clients are small so it's not like he made a lot of money doing it, but he just has a passion for good coding (not just simple websites)... we were transparent about this in the app.

In his SOP, we were also open about why he decided to be an independent software developer and not get a job with some big company. I believe the SOP was extraordinarily good (lol... it took so long to perfect it). In it, we were transparent about everything, yet mostly focused on my brother's passions, how he has grown being on his own as a developer since finishing NYSC, and what he plans to do in Naija with the additional training in Canada... if the VO reads the SOP I think his chance of getting approved is like 90%... if the VO doesn't read the SOP then his chances are probably like 35%... gotta be objective lol. In any case, we have a backup plan if Canada doesn't work. I doubt that we would apply again if he doesn't get it. This application was the best we could do.

I trust you bro. We can only trust God now and hope for the best! God will do it!

Like how much brother and is the application still on sir

Just make sure it's clearly stated why the company is sponsoring you i.e. What it stands to gain from investing so much in you. Also the account balance has to be very high seeing as a company has more expenses than an individual.

If you've got that covered, you're good to go & all the best with your application.

ikem01:
Hello Guys, my question is. A companynis sponsoring me, I have there Soa, LOL, CAC and Tax clearance. Since it's a company, is there any other thing I need from them. Do I still need my dad as a cosponsor cos the company can handle it.

I don't know about Uottawa or LLM but some general points :
Check the instructions on the programme website, contact the course administrator/program advisor. Google samples of statements of purpose. Check the university graduate page if you'll find any Nigerian alumni or current student. Email them with specific, well thought out questions.

You don't need an agent for your application for admission or for TRV. A lot of people do it themselves.

annikanyi:
hello everyone, i am in the process of applying for a masters of law in uni of ottawa and osgoode law school for september 2016, my problem is how to put together my good application package. i have been advised to go through an agent but they are pretty expensive. what do you advise?
are there people in the house that have put out successful applications? i would not mind getting some tips and guideline s on howw to go about it. thank you.

It depends on your field and level of study. You can check the website of the schools listed to see if they offer courses in your field, choose which of the programs you're interested in & then check the tuition fee. That way you can compare prices, you'll also find out if they are still accepting applications from international students for January 2016

Like the others said, keep the faith & hope for the best. If you get delayed at least you'll know what you can do to fix it. But hey, never say never, yours might be different.

So many questions at once.

Make you take am easy. First get admission then worry about of school accommodation with Nigerian students

It's kinda late to start an application for winter 2016, cos the admission process varies from weeks to months. Secondly, visa processing time ranges from 4-12 weeks, so realistically speaking, January 2016 is a long short (unless you've already gotten your application in).

Not sure what you mean by university 1 program, but I think it refers to the 1st year when you takes courses to build the required GPA for your desired major.

As for amount in sponsors bank account (we just finished discussing this, last 2-3 pages), you need at least :
((Annual tuition + 10,000 living expenses) x 2) + 2M buffer.

Sorry this is coming late.

I'd say yes for wedding pics & marriage certificate under family information

No for work ID under passport & travel doc


Evidence of work, is if you're going for a program that has co-op or internship as part of the course. In which case you upload your admission letter in which it would be stated or a description of your program requirement.

austinebode:
Hello guy.

2. Work ID and BUZ ID CARD under PASSPORT or TRAVEL DOC section.

3. Need more clarification on "Evidence of work requirement in study"


Thanks.

Thank God canada at last.

Congratulations!! The stress of getting a new passport was worth it in the end!

People who wants Pgd which would they apply for ! Guess this schools don't offer PGD??

Not sure I understand your question. If you're asking about schools offering cheap PGD, I don't think such a list has been compiled, however here's a link for schools offering PGD. You can check if the schools you want are in the list.

When you have a minute, could you please help copy richcasey's post with the list of important links into this thread? I know you've included an hyperlink once and Emma copied the link to the list once but I think having the whole list posted at least once in this thread would make it easier for new people to see the answers to the questions, especially those browsing from their smart phones and who aren't tech-savvy. Some of them might not realize that the little hyperlink you added contains all the other links.

I tried copying it myself but I'm not that tech-savvy myself so it would let me copy it has the thread (part has been archived. I'm sure you can figure it out.

Hey Guys good morning to you all
please hows it with community colleges in canada if one choose to apply to them for an undergraduate program. are community colleges a red flag to the canadian embassy here in Naija. like i know in the US embassy , community colleges are a red flag. but how about canada?

i i m thinking of applying to a college there or any other institution that is higher than a secondary school there for a diploma program. like we know it to be in Nigeria as Polytechnic or college of education.

i am still reading/studying part8 and have read some few pages on part 9 and it appears to me that 90% of applicants here are going for thier universities.

is this because canadian colleges(2years program tetiary institutions) are a red flag to thier embassy here.

i see list of schools, most especially colleges in thE CIC page(website) is it advisable to pick a community college there or any college seing because they are of low tuition.


Please guys help me with advise concerning this

It is very late. The processing of admission takes long and then the visa application process takes long too. Just relax and apply for Sept 2016 like me.

judnele:

Have you applied already? I applied in Feb for September entry but I had to change admission date to September 2016 to give myself a good chance of securing funding. The admissions tutor advised me to change the date too.

Yes, I will be going by January.

are colleges in canada seen as red flag schools by their embassy here in Nigeria, even though thery are listed on the CIC page

Does any body in this forum know about Kings University in Edmonton? Any review about them?

kwenu:

No. I don't think so as far as it has rights to admit international students. If u package ur application well with a good letter of explanation u wil get it.
