Apparently, showing funds for living expenses in naira equivalent may not be enough with this latest development. Bro, i'll advise you meet your bank, discuss possibilities of sending funds to canada, they can suggest the best way to this. The bank should give you options especially with the new policies of forex. Its well o |

Austinpee4:that's not really an issue (except he has withdrew the money from the account immediately he applied. all he needs to do is take the letter from cic to his bank and they will draft a letter of assurance that when it's time for him to travel they will make available the amount he needs (his living expenses) sail able in Canadian dollars, also since he can't get any letter from CBN he will just have to print a proof to shoe CBN has asked all banks to provide forex for people going for studies, medical etc when they want to travel(provided they have proof that they are going for the said purpose) 2 Likes 2 Shares |

mcobex:I understand. Do not forget that there is a limitation in the amount of 15,000USD or equivalent for school fees per transaction/term. So if an applicant's school fees is say 13,000-18,000CAD, once the school fees is paid, the limit would have been reach or almost reached The bank can only issue confirmation to what is applicable and in accordance to directives from CBN. In the end, it will boil down to the naira equivalent of applicant's tuition and living expenses. The lesser the tuiton the better to accomodate 10,000 CAD. Any further transaction can be done either through dollar account or other means but certainly not at school fees rate. |

mcobex: I mailed the CBN contact office about 1/2 weeks ago...not sure when. They said they're not aware of such information from the Canadian Embassy and that they would revert back to me as soon as the CBN takes an official position on the subject and this could take 3-4 weeks. Still waiting on them since then. I will send them a reminder tomorrow. Let them come and clarify this o. 3 Likes |

Hello gurus in the house, I have a bit of an issue that I'd like to clarify. I am applying for a visit visa, but the help i need cuts across. So, I have three landed properties that I want to declare in my application for home ties. One of the property is a completed 5 bedroom bungalow with a 2 bedroom boys quarters under construction at the back of it. The second property is a three bedroom bungalow at roofing level. The third is an undeveloped land. The issue is, I have R of O for all the properties, but how will the vo know that 2 of the properties are worth more than just a land? Do I need to take pictures of the sites (someone said pictures are no longer allowed) or the information on the structures erected on the lands are not necessary? Please those who have submitted landed documents, how did you do it? |

SamReinvented:I will reply u base on personal experience last month at VFS, i wanted to submit some marriage pictures (3). The person attending to me said and I quote "please we no longer accept pictures anymore, your marriage certificate is ok to proof u r married ". That is my own experience, rules might change, I hope you get the msg from d bold. I'll advise if u av can contact all this people that values property dey can issue u with a documentary evidence of the worth of the land with the building on it. That doc is what you will submit along with a LOE stating d developmental stage of the land. The above is not actually necessary b4 u r granted TRV but I think I get ur drift, u want them to know d real value wch actually increases ur hometie. 2 Likes |

Perotti: Elders have spoken and emphasized a bird in hand is better and that two good options are better than one. Apply for US and dont give up on Alberta. Currently and in the next few years of Trump reign, if both click with funding, I will go to Alberta, even in my dream for so many reasons. 1: funding and its future. Not sure but I think Alberta international grad fee is around 8k cad, leaving more than the minimum and reasonable 10k cad upkeep. Also, unconfirmed rumour and news suggest US may go into "UK mode" soon (I.e. funding for international students might drop very), while Canada keeps opening it's door to everyone including those USA rejected. So, Canada wins. Futhermore, currently in Canada, there is an opportunity for open work permit if an international student cannot afford his fees due to some uncontrollable challenges. I don't think US have such. So, Canada 2 - 0 USA. 2: The end before the end speaks. Currently, With minimum of one year full time experience, good IELTS result, masters degree and age between 25-32, you are likely to get Canadian PR sooner than you think or could achieve with American dream. Canada again! 3 - 0. Never heard of such happening in USA. Even after study is tricky and some have tagged it modern slavery with one visa like that (H1B or something) process. 3: The after study plan (PR and Job). Currently, except for STEM programs, Canada wins the PR battle with easy PR after study. You might even get it before you finish sef, depending on your ability to read widely on your options. Canada again! 4-0. For job, I think US win, cos I heard it is far more than that of Canada. 4 - 1. 4: However, I think USA has better education. So, 4 - 2. Based on immigration rules and quality of education, my current choice for myself, my family, and well wishers is Canada. After that, Australia. After, New Zealand. After or somewhere in-between Australia and New Zealand is USA, if their admission comes with massive funding that I couldn't get from others I specified. Please note: all I wrote are 100% based on my reading on the internet. No personal experience and no evidence to prove their genuity. I dey 9ja as i dey type so. Thank you. 9 Likes |

Austinpee4:that's true, I feel what cic is now trying to imply is for us to pay our tuition before applying for trv (so it will just be the 10k that the bank will have to convert to forex).... I pray CBN do something about this |

mcobex: Good evening. I had mention this before. CBN as at today cannot issue individuals such a letter because they do not have any banking relationship with individuals. The CBN deals directly with banks and as such issues directives/circulars to guide their operations. Get the latest 2 circulars from CBN to banks on foreign exchange transactions. You can find them on the CBN website. Regardless of the limit of 15k usd (which is even per semester), it is your best option and will suffice for the purpose as demanded by CIC. This has worked for other people outside this forum. In addition, visit your commercial bank and request for a letter of reference. This letter affirms your financial strength and also states the current balance in your account. Standard practice! Plead with the bank as well to incorporate a statement in the same letter stating that the funds that they have quoted as being in your account can be transferred/exported abroad for the purpose of foreign tuition payment and other personal expenses via form A and personal travel allowance transactions IN LINE WITH THE CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA'S POLICY ON FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS. Attach this letter of reference and the 2 CBN circulars with a cover letter written by you to provide more clarity. This is your best shot and has worked for other people outside here. Not rocket science my people. 9 Likes 4 Shares |

Perotti:Sorry bro for the late response. But you've gotten the best advice from fellow experts. One thing you have to decide is; 1. Which do you prefer, United State or Canada? 2. Canada is a very good country with lots of opportunities. As it's been said, get your I-20 form and go for your F1 visa interview. It's better when you have options and it's left for you to decide. Although, I will advise you to wait a little provided there's still time for you and wait for the admission decision from Alberta so that you don't double spend for F1 interview. One thing am very sure of is that, if your admission is coming from alberta, it will come with some funding. Remember that holders of F1 visas are not allowed to work except for some on-campus jobs. This is usually a turn-off for some people. |
