Kindly shed more light on this. My bro also finishd wth a 2.2 in law and wants to apply to canny to study

It's accordingly. If it wasn't, there would be no qualifier to the warning: get a master's not a certificate program that most times imperils an application for visa.

Congratulations on your admission and welcome to the forum. The route will depend on you as both routes are the same, though if you intend submitting lots of documents then use the paper route (but mind you that your passport will be with cic during the entire process of the application), but if your documents aren't much then you might use the online route (you don't need to submit your passport until when a decision has been made of your application).
Upfront medical means you doing your medical at a cic designated clinic/hospital before you apply for your visa while if you don't do that before you apply then you will have to wait for the vo to send you medical Mali before you will be able to do it

Good, u said ur uncle pledged 60k, is the 25k (tuition fee) part of it? if it is then the balance will be 35k. So I will suggest he pays that amount into ur personal account so u can print ur statement of account + ur 500k. there's no harm in u submitting ur statement as the 500k has origin (all u need say on ur sop is that the 500k is from ur siblings for ur studies). From my little calculation CAD35k = #10.5mil so that's almost how much he has to pay into ur account for ur upkeep (though the minimum cic request for is CAD10K = #3million ).
Let ur uncle state in his letter of support the money he is pledging and give the date he pays the money into ur account (u will also state it in ur own sop)

Thank you for your response... i would go through the paper route. please, i also want to confirm, do you think i need the help of an Agent to help me with my application or is it something i can do on my own with you guys assistance? Thanks

sthillz:




My dear, this thread is all the agent you need.

Read as much as possible from page 0 and previous parts.

Don't let any agent build house on your head.

I've gained a lot of information for the past 1 year just from reading and following this forum

All the best

Depends on what you or your brother want to study. I am saying stay away from applying for postgraduate diploma and certificate courses in Canada because many people have encountered problems getting TRVs with such admissions. VOs want to determine that you would be a serious student and remain in school for them to grant you visa. I guess it was borne out of experience of Nigerians using certificate courses admission as a short cut route of getting a visa and absconding into thin air and not attending the school they promised to attend. This is because PGD is very easy to get into. So you will do yourself a world of good by applying for a regular masters program that is rigorous, where you have to write thesis proposal/statement of intent, find supervisors and meet other stringent demands. That way when you go to a VO with your acceptance, they will take you as a serious student whose purpose of study is really to study. I am not saying PGD are not serious students who want to study. Going the PGD route is really risky because of the rate of denial for a visa in that arena because of common perception borne out of experience of absconding PGD students granted visa in the past. So settle down and patiently go through the rigorous masters admission process, you will find somewhere even with that GPA. There are no shortcuts to life's greatest achievements.

Bro this is 100% not true, applicants going for diploma gets their applications approved so please stop giving wrong advise to people on this. Yes we have see more people going for Masters getting trv but that's because the number of people going for Masters and PhD are more than those going for Diploma. The only thing u will say on this that I will allow is if an applicant is qualified to get a masters admission and he instead opted to go for a diploma but if someone isn't qualified for a masters program he/she has every right to apply for a PGD program and it will be APPROVED, everything depends on how the applicant package his/her application and GOD'S grace.
so @Eilenora check schools that will accept ur 2:2 but if there isn't any in Canada then apply for PGD and state it in your sop that u would have LOVED to go for Masters but u didn't meet up the requirements for it and also tell the vo the importance of PGD (make sure u convince him). Thanks

Spot on!

I don't understand this guy at all
Everyone can't possibly qualify for masters or PhD

MANY have gotten their visas approved with PGD and PGC
@jnyuwa02 if you disagree, well some things are better left unsaid
Just keep it to yourself and stop throwing negativity around. Maybe you deserve to be banned again

Good morning house, please I want your advise on behalf of my bro. He applied since May 10 (14 weeks now) via paper route and we have still not heard from CIC. The deadline to School resumption is September 1. During application we made part payment for tuition and was hoping that we will get a response before now which is supposed to help us decide if we complete the payment or not. As at last week we had to pay the remaining balance for the tuition because School placed a deadline of August 16 on payment of tuition. My question now is that,is it advisable to send receipt to CIC to let them know we have completed the tuition? If it is right to send the receipt, then how do I go about it? I already linked his application to an online account...

Thanks for the advise on what to do

Nigerians are the most problematic people in the world with the way we abuse things.
Before now, Canadian study permit applications were not difficult for Nigerian students even with PGd or ordinary diploma but some unscrupulous Nigerians abused this privilege in the past by absconding when they get to Canada. If this trend is not reversed, Masters applicants may be treated in this way in the future even with funding. I have heard of a Nigerian who used the funding money paid into his account to sponsor his family for SPWP application and now running up and down to look for the school fees when it is time for him to pay. Some abandon their study looking for money. I don't know why a 24 year old student is running up and down looking for money to build house in Nigeria leaving his Masters degree to suffer with the funding he got. This is embarrassing.
We had training with some Consulars including some Canadian Consulars. One of them told me that they get information about Nigerian applicants' tricks in study permit applications through the blogs. He mention some including this Nairaland. I was shocked to hear this. I then stylishly asked how he got to know about the Nairaland, he said they got to know when a study permit applicant mentioned Nairaland in his "Statement of Intent" he submitted to the Canadian High Commission. Since then, they have been peeping into what Nigerians post there. Please,I will beg people to stop posting fraud or indicting posts on Nairaland. The VOs are here.

Also I beg people in the name of everything you believe in, if you know that you don't have the primary intention of studying, don't apply for the study permit. Better go for Express Entry and that will be better for you.

For those considering the option of bringing their family into Canada through the Spousal Work Permit, if you apply for your spouse less than a year you get into Canada, you are endangering the SWP application. This is because you mentioned your family as one of your home tie when you applied. Now the same home tie is what you want to bring in. This gives the VO a doubt about what you initially told them. Mind you, you wife's Spousal Work Permit is a continuation of your initial study permit application. VISA Officer will reason that if you as the Principal applicant does not respect the terms of the visa given to to, how will he/she believe that your spouse will respect the terms of the work permit. This is logical.
Mind you, your school gives the CIC the feedback on how you pursue your program in Canada.

I guess you specialize in banning people for their opinions, I will not be surprised. My opinions are correct and borne out with evidence of high delay among PGD applicants when compared to Masters and PHD students. Term it negativity, I don't think so, I have no bone of negativity in me, I actually pride myself in my sheer sunny views on life. I am one who tells you as it is, not someone who tells you only the things you love to hear.
