Thank you for restructuring the question.

I am a little bit confused as to who will be my sponsor.

1. My sisters husband who is a psychologist in the UK.
2. My cousin, a medical doctor who just secured a good paying job at Julius Berger Abuja 700k per month. He has spent up to a year now.
3. My other cousin who has a private company in Abuja, His wife works at NNPC Abuja, has 3kids who were born in America.
I am confused as to who to use as my sponsor.

This is really important. I know I have asked loads of questions here but I just want to be sure so as not to make any mistakes.

Thank you.

One more detail, I am applying at Concordia University of PGD Computer Science. I studied Computer Science in India which is for a period of 3years and normally I cannot use a 3years degree for Masters so I have to go through PGD before applying for MSC in any IT related field.

Victory1989:
Hello guru in the house, I am very confuse and I really need advice from the house.. my TRV was refuse last week and my brother advised me to reapply with the aid of an immigration lawyer.

There reason for my refusal was

That I did not satisfy the VO that I will leave Canada at the end of study.

i. Purpose of visit.
ii. current employment situation.

I have already applied GCM record which am waiting for there reasons for denial.

Please I want to know if an immigration lawyer has any major role to play in making sure that my visa is approved.

I wait for all your response

Tarry:


Congratulations

Bamz:


Haha boss I've been trying to message you but my phone's been acting up.

Really taken aback at your refusal, and there's only one forward now: getting the GCMS note and submitting an improved application.

About admission, MSc with funding should be top priority for you if you can get it. That one will not turn you to a prayer warrior overnight (if you've not been one :p) and increases your chances of an approval.

Even if you do get a thesis based masters without funding, just ensure the money needed for your first year and a little more is in your account. Put all the focus on you, and that way you're solving the evidence of financial capacity.

andre99:
From my own point of view, cic is unfair towards people going for PGC, congrats @yetus on ur TRV just 6wks, I advise people on this forum to try and seek admission for a masters degree cos i see that's what the VO sees as being credible, my application just clocked 15wks.

Churkie:


If it is a virgin passport, you have a high chance of correcting the mistake but "the waka and wahala that you will pass through no be small one. Such corrections can only be done at Immigration HQ, Sauka, Abuja.

Gather all your documents that show your real age (birth certificate, WAEC, university transcript, first school leaving certificate) I know say you be ajebo and won't have the latter, so no probs

Go to a court and get an affidavit stating it was an error and that you would want to correct it.

At Immigration, you will pay change of data application fee of about 33k, write a letter to the comptroller general stating your issues and what you want. ( At this point, you have to be pray he approves your request).

Once approved, your file will be forwarded to ACG Passports office in a building called glasshouse.

Abeg PM Jare, I don tire to type. It's a long process.

thesoj:
Go back to the passport office and have them issue you a new one, and since it's their mistake they should be able to cancel and immediately take back the one with the wrong date of birth.

Do not use the passport to apply for anything, otherwise it might be assumed that you are deliberately trying to be fraudulent. You don't want that passport in your custody (especially when you are travelling) once it is cancelled, as it is very likely to get you in a lot of trouble at a foreign airport.

PS: @churkie's post above is probably more helpful than mine. I just noticed it after I posted.

Bamz:


Baba you sef dey watch the action movie. Egbon thesoj been make one salient point: shey people wey get refusals no pray reach abi dey no deserve grace lol... but Nigerians will be Nigerians.

This thread is out to encourage people to submit the best possible application (and not to deceive anyone with any religious bias to prepare shoddy app).

I believe the religious section will emphasis the efficacy of prayers.

Congrats on ur trv. Which program did u apply for pgd or msc. Did you also apply from Nigeria?
