MeinKampf: Yes, if you do your course registration, which I have done through the portal and my course adviser. I asked my course adviser to make an exception for me since IRCC have been asking applicants from Nigeria to pay up there fees. Well the good news is that someone from the school contacted me today on this matter. Apparently, they were yet to receive my second payment which has now reflected on the portal. Thanks for your concern. |

jnyuwa02: I have raised up this issue before you, it was about a friend had intention to apply from the UK just like you have intention to apply from Cameroon to exploit the 3 weeks lee way. I was told to advice my friend against it that it is not possible. @Austinpee4 said it will be rejected on the ground of status of country applying from and that if my friend insist, he should proceed with it at his own cost. I gave my friend the advice exactly as the honorable members of this forum who were willing and able to comment on it shared. I told him that it is his decision to made, my friend quietly returned back to Nigeria to apply. I am really glad you brought it up because this is a grey area. I did not let the issue rest, I did extensive research on it and my findings show that it is possible but technical. Among the forms you will fill, one of the questions is what it your status in the country that you are applying from and "Visitor" is one of the option. If it is not possible for a visitor to apply, it will not be stated there as an option. The catch is this, you have to have an address in the country where you are applying from(You can use the address of family or friends). Also, one of the questions in the form you will fill will ask for your country of residence, state your country of residence as NIGERIA and not Cameroon(This is one of the reasons many people get rejected on the basis of legal status in country of residence.) Further, you should add a photocopy of your visa page which shows you are a legal TEMPORARY RESIDENT(Note: Ignore anyone that tells you that a visitor has no status, that is ignorance, look at what is written on your old visa page or current visa page of any country you have visited then tell me I am wrong ) to your application. The visa has to be valid and it needs to have sufficient time on it within which your application for Canadian Study Permit will be decided otherwise you will get rejected on legal status on country you are applying from. I beg you to take your time to go through the forum of International students on canadavisa.com, after a painstaking search, you will see accounts of visitors that applied for study permit from outside their country of residence. Most of them applied while on US tourist visa and some others on Canada tourist visas. The ones that applied from Canada could not do it because study permit for most has to be made outside of Canada, so they exploited the loopholes in the law by sending their applications to the LA office of Canadian VAC(they went for biometrics when called upon) which handles study permits. The ones that stated country of residence as Canada got rejected on the ground of Status in Country of residence. The ones who understood the technicalities got their application approved. They had to leave Canada and flew back in so they could get their study permit at point of entry. My advise to you is; if you can overcome the technicalities and you have strong ties to your home country, you can proceed to Cameroon. Also you can explain your status and reason for applying in Cameroon in your SOP(An sop takes the place of a physical interview, say whatever you know will help your case in your sop but it should be formal like an interview.Emphasis on your legal status in the sop to the VO Your application should leave no unanswered question in the mind of the VO, use your sop to address it without repetition like MichV always say.) Also remember to get your police report from Nigeria. DISCLAIMER: I am a prospective applicant waiting for admission response. Advise given are from my research on this site and elsewhere. I have not successfully done this neither do I know any one personally who have other than those who shared their experience on canadavisa.com When I eventually get my admission I will apply outside Nigeria. History has always smiled at brave explorers. 8 Likes |

Teepee85:I can only comment on your 2nd question. There are jobs in every country including Nigeria. You have to prove that you are the most qualified and the best candidate each time you apply for a job. The truth is that each hiring manager is different. I finished in December, moved to Vancouver on January 15th and by the 18th I had a job offer letter. I did a PGD in global business management also. I still have friends that did masters but have not found a good full time job. So my dear, it all depends on what you are looking for after school. In the cause of my job search, I hardly saw any job Ad that asked for a Masters degree. If you have previous work experience from Nigeria, it helps a lot. The course I did gave me an opportunity of doing a 4 months internship which helped me secure the job I have today. So my dear, the job prospects are level. Most people use their previous experience to secure jobs here and not even PGD or masters qualification. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Hello Gurus, Please how did you guys pay for visa fee online? I'd been trying to pay but transaction has been declining. I used both Naira and Dollar card but no success. Kindly advise |

mostblackroad: Please am still expecting the sponsorship Affidavit format you promised to send. Thank you so much |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 12 by mcobex: 10:35pm On Jun 05, 2017 |
Aguila:ok, try and get the admission first then. but b3 mindful of the tuition fee of ur intended program b4 applying. ur sponsor must have ur tuiton fee in his account(or better still let him pay for ur tuition b4 u apply for trv) and he will have to pay ur living expenses ( $10000) into ur account, so be very mindful of the cost of everything b4 embarking on the journey (I mean b4 picking a school and program). |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 12 by Justhelping: 10:37pm On Jun 05, 2017 |
Yeah, that works. Use her as your secondary sponsor. Your proof of family ties will clear every doubt. And the info you give as regards your other siblings should also clear the air. EJIZY: |

Emmane:Funds available should be the equivalent of a little in excess of your tuition plus 10,000CAD. Also use the official rate exchange rate. You can use that of oanda.com. |

please the proof of fund,can one use someones statement of account? |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 12 by Austinpee4: 11:34pm On Jun 05, 2017 |
@CaptainCanny, While reading your post i was lost in your term "Technicalities" and was wondering what it actually means in the light of the subject matter. All the same, i feel folks here have shared and given sufficient info regarding the 'Cameroun' issue same as your valid points too. It's actually left to the applicant to proceed however he/she deem reasonable. However, i'll be particulary interested in the outcome as it concerns 'Immigration status in country of residence' if the applicant will be kind enough to share with us should he/she apply from there with a visitor's visa. Regards. |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 12 by CaptainCanny: 2:10am On Jun 06, 2017 |
Austinpee4: By technicalities, I was referring to the mistake some persons make that leads to[b] 'Immigration Status in Country of residence'[/b]. When filling out Question 7 in the personal information form, some persons applying with status of a visitor err in responding to the said Question. Question 7 Choose the correct information: The name of the country you live in , if you have been lawfully admitted to that country. Your immigration status in that country (choose one of the following): Citizen Permanent resident Visitor Worker Student Other Protected Person Refugee Claimant Other: You must fill out this section if you chose “Other” as a status. The dates (From – To) you have been living in your country of residence. The response should be Nigeria and the status:citizen but they make the mistake of inputting the country they are visiting and their status there. Thus, 'Immigration Status in Country of Residence'. It is Question 9 that addresses where you are applying from. Question 9 Check the box to tell us if you are applying from the country you live in. If you checked “No”, choose the correct information: The name of the country where you are applying from, Your immigration status in that country by choosing one of the following: Citizen Permanent resident Visitor Worker Student Other Protected Person Refugee Claimant Other: You must fill out this section if you chose “Other” as a status. The dates (From – To) that you have been living in that country. If you are not a citizen of the country where you are applying, you must send proof of your legal status in the country you live in when you submit your application. That was one of the 'technicalities' I was referencing in my earlier post of possibility of applying from 'Cameroon' or 'Cameroun'. Thank you. |

I feel obligated to inform those asking for help to pay for their application to thread gently. Twice I have asked for such and got it, but i at the end I got an email that the transaction was cancelled as unauthorized. Meaning - credit card theft. I usually get my money back but the trauma of the accusation is unbearable. Trust me, You don't want to have it. My advise to anyone trying to make any international payment is to open domiciliary account and fund with aboki dollar or look for people with dollar card in your family or physically around you and pay with theirs. Be warned. God bless us all. 2 Likes |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 12 by jnyuwa02: 2:41am On Jun 06, 2017 |
Thanks for your very thorough, well researched and intelligent response. You indicated not wanting to apply from Nigeria yourself. Why is that? I did my undergraduate studies in the United States and returned to Nigeria only a year ago to see my ailing mother. I am still Nigerian with an expired student visa. While in the United States, I saw many people apply for study permit while on a U.S. visitor's visa. So it is totally possible to do. Heck, I have seen people even without status, apply for a Canadian study permit in the U.S.. Those that came to the United States with a visa and overstayed it. I think the requirement in the United States for Canadian visa applicants that overstayed their visa in the United States, is that you must prove you have not been out of status in the United States for more than one year, at the time you are applying for Canada visa. You mentioned those in Canada on a tourist visa sending their applications to the Canadian embassy in LA? Do you mean Los Angeles by LA? If so, why Los Angeles instead of any American embassy in the U.S. I remember a Canadian embassy been present in the city I lived: Seattle. That said, thanks for all your recommendation. I will be checking Canadianvisa.com and doing the painstaking work of reading up. If I do decide to apply from Cameroun due to time factor, you can put your money down on the fact that I would be supporting my application with the best SOP possible. Yes history and God is on our side on this lonesome road less travelled. It's not a shortcut route and I am not trying to hide anything as some have suggested here. Just that my application will be late if I apply from Nigeria. I was awarded full scholarship on the recommendation of the academic unit, just waiting now for final approval papers from the college of graduate studies to apply for my permit. I cannot apply with just a recommendation, I need the official thing. Am I right here? Can take another two weeks just to get that to me. And assembling documents to prove my ties to Nigeria and buying a land and getting a deed made out in my name is going to take time too. I am not married and have not lived in Nigeria for many years. Hence the need to establish ties to Nigeria so I am not rejected. By the time I apply, it's gonna be in late July. So time is not on my side as you can see. Sure thing, I would have my police report. Any further knowledge and advice is most certainly welcome and appreciated in anticipation. CaptainCanny:[b][/b] 2 Likes |

cyberlink1: They will send you a mail requesting that you log into your account and view your messages. Then you login to your CIC account view the message and download your IV for the biometrics shikina. Take the IV and your passport to the Visa office closer to you. I did submitted on 31st of May. Got and invite for Biometric on 2nd of June in the evening. I did it on 5th. So I don't think it is late yet. |
