Good morning house, ON THE ISSUE OF WRITTEN ASSURANCE FROM BANK THAT CIC REQUESTED FOR

Please who has gotten the written assurance? And what are the possible steps to get the written assurance

From my own interpretation CIC is asking for assurance that the money will be "ALLOWED" out of the country, they have no doubt that the money is available but the possibility of exporting the cash is what they want to confirm!

I once heard someone talk about bankers assurance on this forum! What's that? Will it fly in this case and how can one get it!

Please gurus we should deliberate on this an have a formula for tackling this on this forum for the sake of future applicants because this is reality! It is now a requirement!

einsteino:
in a situation were one has multiple sponsors, how would the sponsorship letter look like? do they each have to state what aspect of his expenses they are going to cater for and how much they would allocate for it? in my case I am thinking of using about 3 sponsors, my dad, uncle and cousin. I am having a hard time drafting this out.

Austinpee4:

Your SOP should be an informal letter requiring no address but a title of 'statement of purpose/intent' while your sponsor's letter can be addressed formally to

'The visa officer,
Immigration, Refugee and citizenship canada,
Canadian embassy,
Accra, Ghana or Lagos,Nigeria'

You will submit your complete application at the canadian visa office either in Lagos or Abuja.



To your second question, a VO will have no business in anything that does not involve your study permit application. Your family issue won't be their concern. Unless a family member or members want to go with you to canada then things must add up otherwise, go ahead with your application and worry less about the VO's thought towards your child. It won't even cross their mind. Your application will be the main focus.

Pls what is GCMS file. I have been hearing that since. What is it used for and how do they order for it. Thanks

thesoj:
Hey bro, smiling mood activated here too.

[s]I am always happy to be proven wrong but it's not clear to me how a postgraduate diploma is different from a post bacc diploma except in name only. I do stand corrected if I am mistaken, however.[/s]

On second thought you are right that they are not equivalent... I googled it and it appears that just one school in Canada offers this exact course and the same school also has a graduate diploma which they consider to be higher than the post bacc. Thanks for the correction!

Having said that, switching to a PGD won't automatically solve his problems (though I agree with you that the program level is also likely an issue), though switching to masters would help. But in either case, @chinograd needs to write a strong SOP explicitly justifying his desired educational trajectory.

From my unscientific observation of this thread over the past ~two years, PGD visa applicants in business administration or international business management or human resources management seem to get denied a lot. To me the reason is almost obvious, it is difficult to make a case to the VO that you need to go to Canada to study these courses at the PGD level. It is not impossible to get a TRV for these courses, but the application has to be extremely well put together. So yes I'd suggest he go for a masters or an MBA if he really wants to gain unique knowledge, given his three years of experience.

CPA01:


Let me tell you how I will go about this without any stress.

1. I will pay tuition fees for first year and make available the remaining balance for living expenses in my account, preferable a dollar account but I wouldnt mind if I have it in my naira account.

2. I will walk up to my bank and request for a letter called Banker's Confirmation Letter. This letter will confirm that you run an account with the bank and with amount you have in deposit with the bank Assuming the funds in your account is for your living expenses.

3. I will search for relevant circulars from CBN confirming I can export funds and get funds for PTA easily.

4. I will then write a well structured letter confirming the funds in my account is for my living expenses in Canada and attach all documents stated above.

*** I wouldn't disturb myself one bit after putting forward these documents.

*** I believe i will be allowed to give additional proof on my living expenses at the POE but till then.

*** If the VO is not still satisfied then he should return my passport so I can move on with my life.

Osemigho:


I have no idea about how to handle it. However, I will advise anybody in that situation to review multiple advises, given here and other webpages, to develop a comprehensive strategy. Thank you.

chigrad:
I couldn't get admission into any school that offered Masters cos I finished with a 2:2. Thought Post Baccalaureate Diploma was also equivalent to a PgD. Pls what can I do. Are there schools that would admit me for a Masters degree with a 2:2
