Good morning folks, and so i stumbled on this forum few months ago after making my online application. It was somehow painful to me that i didn't get to see strategies on how to package my application especially when i saw the well- detailed application submitted by members on here with the way landed properties were also used as home-ties and all...... Anyways, i prayed for this day and alas it is here.

Please did u mean u submitted your own personal SOA

If this is your whole document, then you knw your document was quite brief.

Austinpee4:

Baba, i couldn't have agreed more to your valued points but i go disagree slightly with the few bold lines.

Individual application presumably will be assesed on a case by case basis. Some are straight forward enough and evidencial supporting documents will speak more for itself that anything an applicant write or try to make a visa officer see. However, If there are discrepancies in any part of an application or an applicant have any particular thing to buttress, a very good SOP will give a VO a different perspective and broaden his/her horizon to see objectively why an applicant is best for his/her choice of program as well as why a carefull review should be given to the application.

So if you say the VO officer "KNOW", it will contradict the fact that a SOP is NOT a requirement for nigerian applicants and therefore it is NOT compulsory. Rather, the study permit questionaire is required of nigerian applicants and this also serve as a summary of an applicants intentions and plans with the intended program.

Remember, the first piece of document a VO will most likely pick up to review is the application form IMM1294E, and then based on the info on it, supporting documents will be reviewed.
I onced asked a VFS staff why he pinned 4-5 documents together(app form, offer letter, family form, study permit questionaire and any prove of fees payment) even before it got to the embassy. He replied that those were always the first documents they review once they open the sealed application.

So like you also noted, a well arranged application will always get a nudge with or without a SOP especially if everything add up from the information filled to the supporting documents included.

Personally, i feel once your program choice, level and correlation add up, your finaance is sufficient, hometies are in order, its will make more sense and there will be less burden to start writting plenty things to try to make a VO see what they already have been trained to look out for.

I also do not underestimate the power of a very good SOP, it tells the VO the kind of personality one is, give an insight into an applicant ideology and interest in both the intended program and about canada. They also may use that to asses some key values an applicant will bring to their country since each person is treated as a potential migrant.

So which ever capacity an applicant finds him/her self, one should get things about their application right first before a good SOP to colour it and not the other way round.

Understandable,....The point i am driving at is that, we often shoot ourselves in the leg with badly written sop. it is better not to submit one than to put your perfect and compelling profile into disrepute with a carelessly written sop.

Of course, your academic and professional profile must be modest enough for an sop to colour it. I cannot overemphasize the importance of program consistency when it comes to study permit application, however, we should also put other things like sop into consideration while putting a decent application into place.

I dig your points though. Articulate

Respect bro !

Any MUN candidate here. have applied to Mun since September last year and since then have not heard from them. is there anybody in my shoes.

bro you ain't alone oooo. same thing here

Jejelaye01:


Chai @yemdogg, you really nailed the importance of SOP. It's not about the grammer or time frame to meet up with resumption but detailed and self explanatory SOP. I truly believe in due process. I will like to add that we shouldn't see all the critics here as witch hunting, they are actually for our good and we should always ask questions utilizing ideas shared in the process. Am sincerely happy am part of this family.

What is your line of work experience and for how long now?

Austinpee4:
Oh well! This will go down as one of the best time to be alive for students/parents/guardians making overseas school fees payment.

Banks now have 48 hours to complete this transaction!

Oya oya, y'all run to thy banks because we can wake tomorrow morning and see breaking news 'CBN worker runs away with money meant for school fees for nigerian students'
Goodnews for overseas students and intending students!

Hi Austinpee4, i just confirmed this at the bank and i was told form A processing takes up to 2 weeks or more. But the only exception is if you have a domicilliary account with the bank, it can be done in less than 3 days. Bank is gtbank.
House, who has recently used the form A to make payment? At what rate,the m bank and how long it took for the processing to be completed. Thank You all for your contributions.

Anywhere, i just paid my full tuition through form A and it took just 7days!(weekend inclusive). First bank completed the transaction @375 to 1USD.

So you could find other alternatives,a Zenith bank staff told me they completed one recently in a week too. So u may want to try other banks to find out which will be convenient for you.

Don't be too quick to nail a soul.The problem is that people read for their favourable reception without having a general knowledge of what a post means and the issue that it's been related to in a context.I sensed the Moniker you may be quoting his statement of which I have also made similar statement and would still not deny and I will still concretely stand by the statement.Different monikers on this thread,both past and present,silent observers and the outside world who I could relate to their refusal have never got TRV for a PGC(D) PROGRAM IN HRM with their (economics,law,accounting,political,business administration) background) in Canada.

you have a work experience and you didn't let us know if your job experience/role/functions have relationship with HRM which should also be a concern from an angle of critical analysis. Withstanding if your job does not, MSC in HRM has its scopes of which relates to every aspect of social sciences and similar to MEng in Project Management/Engineering Management which relates to every branches of Engineering. However PGC(D) in HRM has limitations.Meanwhile on this thread some individuals with work experience and job position in HRM and with evidence had got TRV with PGD in HRM, accompanied by a good S.O.P addressing the purpose of such study.

Please I think we should understand the context of usage of some statements on this thread. I am careful when I post on this public forum b/c any misinformation may deter someone's success. Consequently we don't impose our post on people rather we make suggestions,comparison and references. It is left for anyone as an entity to go back to your (his/her) bedroom, sieve and make careful decision. I personally have never misled anyone here.

Please my people.. Help me with de accurate info on this ..

For a totalled expenses of CAD$31,173.00 for a year> how much account balance in Nigerian naira will be enof to use.

How much is CAD$25,000 in naira let me knw how much my sponsor will transfer to my account. please help

oanda.com wee hellep you do the conversion.

Osemigho:

Before you generalize, there are programs or universities in Nigeria that does not allow the above claim.

In fact, I am of the opinion that if any Nigerian university or program still allows it currently, it shows that it is low ranked or located in a outskirt town/village.

I represent University of Lagos, and can confidently tell you that most of its best graduate rarely use library because we source and are advised to source materials on the internet.

So, how can a lecturer force handout sale in an environment, like Unilag, that encourages tapping into the free virtual world?

Therefore, be specific in your condemnation. You can even mention names of the culprit(s).

Lol @bolded
But most lecturers in government schools still sell sha
It is well..

Use USD/CAD exchange rate to get CAD$25,000 in US dollars, then multiply by 375NGN. That way, you will get the exact Naira equivalent. Mind you, USD/CAD exchange rate fluctuates too.

Using xe.com, 1 USD =1.35036CAD, therefore, 25000CAD = 18513.6USD approximately. 1USD = 375NGN(Bank Rate)

Okay thanks. I would have to go to first bank then. Since bank only use usd, how do i convert cad to usd if i am to pay cad $1,000. Sorry for my many questions. Thank You

Guys please must you necessarily make use of the SOA you are using to submit your application to make your school fess payment. Can't my mum open another bank account probly Standard Chattered just because of fx availability and they offering a better rate compared to her bank. All dis dorm account story ain't making sense.

Pls calm down and let's get ourselves right ok!
First realise that information (when rightly placed) is very key!
Secondly, all of us learn in one way or the other on this thread!
You have relayed your profile... we all genuinely celebrate with you.. but on here, we try to be as clear and as specific as possible. .. So that other readers can learn and attain success like you have done!.
Let me tell you what point guys are trying to prove as you say.. .. You have gotten approval for MSc HRM with UG program in Economics... good. however while giving your docs/profile, you were silent on your work experience!
So guys aren't trying to prove any point but seeking clarity.... we need this for guidance and to protect readers from being misled!!!.... Hope we have a headway?

When you fill your form A... put the amount as is in CAD... Bank will give you the rate and Naira equivalent.
Good luck!

Hello aous,

Please I read on cic site that 4 month statement of account is required while applying but someone said it is 6 month. Kindly clarify.

Thanks.

Don't worry yourself as ALL banks in Nigeria sell at N375/$1 ..... They have been mandated as at Monday to complete school fees in 48hrs and PTA in 24hrs.
For now ... My brother, it is available everywhere without stress or need to know anybody!...

This question have been previously answered just few pages back on this part 12, if you went through quickly, you would have been guided.

Anywhere, the visa office for nigerian applicants requires 6 months statement of account as against the 4 months CIC website requires. So the best thing to do is to print for 6months since it will meet the requirement of CIC website and the visa office.

well said, in addition to that, some people even print beyond 6months, there is no harm to this on your application.

No one is questioning the authenticity of your info or profile. Folks want to know the correlation between your first degree and HRM and if you work in the banking sector, is there any relationship between your job description and HRM?...simple.

This is important so that other monikers looking up to your profile will not blindly put up an HRM TRV application that will lead to refusal.
