Hello,

Check the program's website for details on how to apply for scholarship/funding. Sometimes, students are considered automatically for entrance scholarships and with your CGPA, you have a great chance of being considered.

"At UBC Sauder, our entrance scholarships are based on merit, going to candidates who display an outstanding combination of talent, drive, professional potential and academic achievement. We take a merit-based holistic view of what each talented candidate brings into the program. Applicants are automatically considered for every applicable scholarship upon submission, and are assessed on a number of factors, including (but not limited to) academic achievement, business drive, application essays" (Culled from the program's website).

Hello Oben209,

To convert to percentage, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Add the grade points: 4.6 + 4.3 + 4.1 + 3.8 = 16.8

Step 2: Divide the sum by 4 to calculate the average: 16.8/4 = 4.2

Step 3: This means your CGPA for the last two years is 4.2. Divide it by 5 and multiply by 100 to convert to percentage.---4.2/5 * 100. This gives 84%.

I've a question. I've a friend who says he will have to spend 1 million naira, that's almost $3,000 to apply for visa ...like visit visa or any visa to canada, from Nigeria? He said this is the cost of paying agents to process the applications to Canada and what they told him. I told him he doesn't need to use an agent but he says its better. Is this true? Are y'all spending that much to process your application to canada?? This isn't about me ooo, I'm already overseas. Just want to get a clearer picture of what he's saying. He says he doesn't want to spend that much and lose money if his application is rejected, so he's asking me to sponsor him instead.

He probably doesn't know that Agents are not VO...lol

If tuition fee is excluded, amount is subjective sir but i don't think you have to spend up to that applying for visa yourself, you may spend more using agents though, but doing it yourself will prepare you to defend yourself if the need arise.

ok cool...nywaiz u have to spell your experience in the IT world and your professional certificates...about transfer of tuition fee it depends...but if u r not ready to spend a little more to be on a safer side...u could go on wit ur brother as ur co-sponsor...all the best

Thanks for the advice and response. I appreciate it. I will look into the possibility of getting the funds into my dads account since it's best to eliminate all reasons for TRV refusal. Do you know anyone who schools or that has schooled in LAMBTON, so I could keep in touch with the person. Lastly can I send my SOP to you in the near future for any expert review and advice. Thanks again

Dear All, I need your input.

A brother who is in USA for the past 4weeks (on a 4month visit) just called me and said he just received his admission letter from one of the college in Canada for winter (January) and would like to apply for student visa immediately but the concern is that must he rush down to Nigeria to apply of is there a way he can apply over there in USA.

Please respond urgently if you know something o.

Sorry to rain on the parade, he must come back home with immediate alacrity and apply, otherwise if he applies there, they are going to push it to Ghana or worst deny him based on status in country of application. If he he had a student visa in the USA, it may have been a different story.

To the gurus in the house, please am trying to deal with the issue of home tie, please will birth certificate of my family members be good enough. If so, their birth certificates are not NPC certificate but local birth certificates and court declaration of age, please will it be acceptable.

More so, can I show a court document stating my dad's has been transferred to me after his demise or just the house document with my dad's name is ok.

Birth certificates of your family members are not quite a home tie. Think from the VO's perspective: how many Nigerians stay abroad even though they have lots of family in Nigeria? Very very many, probably a majority! I'm not saying you shouldn't include them, but don't for one bit think birth certificates make a strong case for home ties. They don't. (The exception may be if said family members are your spouse & kids. But even in this case they aren't a magic wand.)

The topic of home ties is discussed like every 20 pages on this forum -- go back and read the last 50 pages but preferably from page 0 of this part. Many applicants are denied because they treat their TRV application in a very formulaic way: put this document, put that document, etc. While documents can add value to your application, their value is minimized if they communicate only very little meaning to the VO.

What the VO needs to clearly understand is why would you come back to Nigeria after your studies? Your family's birth certificates alone do not answer this question in any way whatsoever.

Wow i did the same,but i have not recieve biometric instruction,maybe the biometric request is just to double sure of ur data.the visa will come immediatly.

Anything can happen in 13 days, but keeping fingers crossed for you. CIC is unprectable and nobody can tell you when they are likely to give you a decision. Just wait and see and if nothing comes, defer till January. Wait for them to request renewed letter of admission even if you get the renewed papers, just wait for CIC to request it, don't just begin to send it to them. Give them a little challenge too, just like they gave you challenge.

Hello people, I'm new here.
I just got an email from CIC, that I should visit a center for biometrics. I will be going to VFSglobal.
My questions are;
Will I need to create an application with VFSglobal, before going there, or should I just go with my docs??
Will I be required to pay any other fee when I get there?
What is the experience like? Will I be asked any questions or its just for fingerprinting?
Any helpful tips will be appreciated.
Please help a brother!!

Please forgive my naiveness, I'm a complete rookie in this.
Thanks

Good Morning great NL. just got a mail from cic this morning about an update in my application. applied since june 8th. just checked and found out that my eligibility is being reviewed. i know God is in ctrl.

It will be very good if you show court document stating the transfer of property upon dad's demise. That is a very thick hometie for you! Siblings' birth certificates might be just 30%.

Just go there with your international passport and the biometrics request letter CIC sent. You will also need to give them #450 for sms charge( i still don't understand this fee cos i hardly see folks getting the sms, just emails). That's all you need to get your fingerprint and photo taken.

Answer to both questions is false. Having a USA visa and using it and returning to Nigeria gives the VO a proof that if you go to Canada, you will probably return too. There is nothing automatic these days about Canada and USA visa. You can have USA visa and be denied a Canadian visa. And vice versa. Put an airtight application if you want to be approved. Good luck with everything.

Goodmorning House,

Please I need support. I want to apply for admission at NSCECE. What is the best way I can pay my 75CAD application fee. Kindly assist with advise.

I just got my application back and the only reason ticked is

*Based on your application, you used an unauthorized, compensated representative. You have not provided evidence that this is an authorized representative

I remember ever being sent a mail to fill the use of representative form which my uncle's agent did on my behalf

How can one tackle this as no other reason was ticked

And the most annoying thing is all my documents was not returned except my passport

I'm on my way back home now devastated

Send them evidence they requested again, perhaps they didn't get it when you sent it to them the first time. Send to the Acrra email yourself, personally! They will reopen your case again. No need to freak out. Sober and cool minds prevail!

Good morning house, what is the current exchange rate from naira to cad dollars.

Please what should I do exactly?

My application has been refused already

And the representative they requested for was just filled by the agent

Please can you WhatsApp me


And besides. I think the Agent cancelled the Use of Representative thing

Good PM house. Am about submitting my study permit application and I need to confirm if I can submit my mum's International Passport instead of her birth certificate. Reason being that she doesn't have Birth Certificate from NPC....

Hi all. Please my brother's study permit app has spent more than the regular processing time with cic and we used the Webform but we didn't get an reply . Please can I get the phone number of the Visa office where Nigerian study permit apps are reviewed. Thanks a lot

Hmmmm. This is actually the second case i have seen on this matter.

Here is the thing, CIC have listed 'authorized' representatives and how to know them on their website that applicant can use. They are considered as credible to represent you. They have a unique CIC reg number and are accredited to render immigration related services to Canada. This category of people are the ones considered as 'authorized'.

This however does not mean an 'agent' cannot help you, if they have this identity with CIC, there would be no issue but because some of the agents in Nigeria don't have it, they avoid declaring it in their client's application but trust CIC, they know the 'tastes' of some of their act. This is why you were asked to fill the 'use of representative' form but your agent even cancelled it even when CIC was informed. This act automatically would mean something is fishy which could induce the decision of the officer coupled with the fact that you did not provide the evidence that the agent is authorized.
So at this point, if you were welcomed to reapply, then it is good. Reapply as the primary applicant without the use of a representative(agent). This would be your viable option now.

In a similar case of yours, the applicant asked for reconsideration but the Accra visa office replied with this particular line " please note, there have been no error of judgement or decision on your case. Also note that little weight is given to new information that could have been provided at the time of
application because applicants are responsible to submit everything to be considered when applying. In addition, restating
the information provided in the application is rarely grounds for reconsideration as it was already reviewed by the officer"

So depending on the letter, your best bet is to reapply without the agent's help and must indicate this as well.

Pm me and let's talk! You must send them an email first with the right form and/or explanation. There is a similar case here and they reopened. Don't waste your money applying again without first asking reconsideration.
