Hi fam greetings and happy Valentine's day Am here to seek you all advice I graduated with a very low Bsc 3rd class, last year i applied for undergraduate admission plans was to switch from the undergraduate science program to Pharmacy(Pharm D) after 2years So I got admission to study Undergraduate chemistry then applied for student visa in my Sop i wrote how i like chemistry as a pure science and how i want to go back to it for undergraduate studies as it has been a desired program from childhood I never stated I intend using the program to move to Pharm D. Now my visa was denied the V.O stated why do i want to go for another bachelors degree when I already have one also with work experience that I should explain and re-apply. So I didn't since then i was so heart broken being that's my first visa application. Now I just applied to a school undergraduate studies and got Scholarship of $7,500 out of $15,700 tuition Do you think this time if I apply also stating that I will be switching to Pharmacy do you think there might be possibility with the visa issuance?? Sorry for the long stories ![]() |

SamReinvented:Yes it hasn't been a problem for as long as I remember and cic support people with dual intent, but I was shocked when they made reference to it this time. I know of more than two people who applied for trv and EE and got both. |

Slik07:Nobody is putting fear in him, he has funding that covers his tuition fee and half of his living expenses. The issue is that he went ahead to pay $10k+ into his student account and wrote on his SOP that it is for his tuition fee. That is confusing as the vo will feel why pay for tuition when you already have funding? So, all he needs to do now is explain to the vo that he has full funding and the money he paid into his student account is mainly for his living expenses(together with the extra from his funding). NB: If you get FULL FUNDING and refuse to explain yourself well to the vo, you will end up having issues. We have seen more than one person having full funding here and still get delayed due to lack of funds |

Frankrobbn1: The first one was October 27million And second January 19th is an upfront payment from CBN of 11million |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by Frankrobbn1: 8:37am On Feb 14, 2018 |
bbclue: Go ahead and give explanations to it. I don't think it will be declared as lump sum deposit. Since it has a far date between both transcations. 2 Likes |

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by Canadahelper: 8:51am On Feb 14, 2018 |
lonelyhrt: Be careful with your consistency . Whatever you stated in your SOP for the first application is probably still available to them so as much possible maintain your first story . You were denied for trying to do a second undergrad ,so provide strong justification as to why as asked : maybe blame quality of education in 9j and that you feel you’re not fully equipped for a postgrad .. That is just a thought , another option is to get a postgrad acceptance at a school here that accepts 3rd , your new SOP could say you previously wanted a 2nd undergrad because due to your grade (which again you can blame quality of education in nigeria / strikes if you went to a fed school )you didn’t think you’d get admission but after further research you found XYZ uni . and then that way you can still stick to your love of chem story |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by WEIRDPC(m): 8:57am On Feb 14, 2018 |
lonelyhrt: Hello, The issue is, there is no career progression in going for another undergraduate degree. CIC expects a bachelor degree holder to go for a post graduate study. What I will advise, what are the possibilities of getting a PGD admission? Also, Do you have any related work experience ? Let me also say this, if there is a way you can apply without declaring you have an undergraduate degree already, Go ahead with it. A friend of mine with a masters degree, applied for another masters degree, he was denied. He reapplied without declaring his masters degree in second application, he got his TRV. Your own case might be different as I believe they must have stored your details, which includes having a bachelor degree. If you choose to take this route, no certainty, I must say. |

femiart: Hey bro , most times relatives sponsoring is a tough sell, even tougher in this case if your uncle can only provide company statement of account . If he’ll be acting as the main sponsor, he should submit a personal account statement as well OR maybe take a few extra months to build up cash flow in your dad’s account ? Expantiate on what you mean by “cash flow isn’t good” ? lump sum deposits or ? |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by WEIRDPC(m): 9:01am On Feb 14, 2018 |
mayorelnino: Just go with at least 60,000 naira cash. The cost was around 55,000 naira as at last year, without additional miscellaneous expenses |

jnyuwa02: Has PTDF started sending Nigerian students to Canada? I'm aware that PTDF, NDDC etc., scholarships are respected but they dont send Nigerians to Canada. If they do, then it's not OFFICIAL. That was why I didnt mention them. Maybe those with 'long legs' can switch it to Canada. Anything is possible in Nigeria. PTDF sends Nigerian students to the UK only, but last year they sent some Nigerians to the UK, US, France; tuition free universities in Germany, Brazil and China. This year PTDF is not going to send any Nigerian to the UK or US; but France, Germany and China. |

mayorelnino: It depends. Paper route is cheaper(#55,520.00) while online route is roughly 70k thereabout. P.S: I'm 100% sure of the paper route, not too sure about the online application |

Hello Everyone!! First and foremost I want to appreciate everyone for their contributions and response to people's questions.. It is awesome to see people going through the stress of typing long and detailed replies to questions. God bless you all. I have couple of questions to ask and I'd appreciate every contribution I can get. I'm a 26years old Petroleum Engineering graduate, currently serving and due to pass out April this year. I'm currently applying for jobs so as to have something to do after service and also source of letter of employment. I intend to go for my masters in Canada next year (2019). I want to study Sustainable and Renewable Energy for my second degree. This is my present scenario... *I'm to seat for IELTS April this year. *I already have a valid international passport that is not expiring anytime soon *My dad will stand as my sponsor with over #18milion statement of account Now my questions are 1. What are my chances of getting a student visa, considering the following.. a. My first degree is in Petroleum Engineering(CGPA of 4.02) and my intended second degree is Sustainable and Renewable Energy b. My home ties is just family (my parents and siblings) c. My little/no work experience, I graduated December 2016, served 2017-2018 (April) 2. What can I do to boost my chances of securing a visa? 3. What other documents do I need to gather to aid my cause? 4. What else can I use as home ties? Please I went through most of the previous threads, it was really helpful but I need more info regarding my particular case.. Thanks and God bless us all! |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by WEIRDPC(m): 12:15pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
Royalty56: Hello, No one knows the chances of getting a TRV approval. IELTS is not a requirement for admission into Canadian Universities. My advise to you is to focus on securing admission first, when you have the acceptance letter from your school, you can make plans on VISA. Best wishes |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by Nobody: 12:38pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
Royalty56: If you ask me, I'll tell you to put all your energy in getting admission first. Believe me, to get a Master's/PhD admission in Canada is not easy. A high ranking school in the UK can easily give you offer while a low ranking school in Canada will mess up the same applicant. High CGPA alone doesnt do it in Canada. Your admission package should contain: Transcript/Test Scores, CV, SOP and Reference letters. I have already explained this in the previous thread. Pls, read up. For your questions: 1a. Yes, it's very possible. You can explain that in your SOP. For instance, tell the VO that with EV gaining markets, the future of Petroleum Engineers is uncertain. Tell the VO that Sustainable energy is the future and there is a huge vacuum for it in Nigeria both in the industry and academia. That is why you chose Canada because you want to contribute your quota in filling this vacuum in your home country Nigeria after graduation. 1b. Your parents and siblings are your home ties since you are not married yet. If you have a landed property you can use it. If you dont have...use your father's or his company, stuff like that. 1c. That shouldnt bother you. Besides you just finished serving. If you dont get a job immediately after passing out, you can engage yourself in any training to fill up the gap. 2. Nothing extraordinary to do. Just submit the required docs and pray for God's favour. 3. Check 2 above. 4. Check 1b above. Best of luck. 1 Like |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by jnyuwa02: 12:44pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
Slik07: I helped someone here with advice and SOP. He had a PTDF full scholarship to Canada. As a matter of fact, he could use it to go anywhere in the world to study he said. Just last month he was approved. I have no idea if he left already, he was to commence his PHD in January at USASK. My guess is he has left as we are no longer in communication. Don't know if he still reads this, if you do please attest. Ps: maybe this guy has someone influential in the program to send him anywhere, with Nigeria you can never really tell. And reading the requirements, it seems it's not adamant on one finding admission only in those three countries, if it were so, it would have explicitly stated so. |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by mcobex: 1:23pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
Slik07:PTDF still send Nigerians to Canada, a guy got his' last year and has started school since September 2017. |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by Nobody: 1:38pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
jnyuwa02: Ok bro... |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by Nobody: 1:55pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
mcobex: OFFICIALLY, Canada is not one of the countries that PTDF sends Nigerians to. I presume if you are awarded the scholarship and you've a Master's/PhD offer from a Canadian school, you can use it. See the attached and also check previous years to know the countries listed. You wont find Canada.

Thank you so much Mr. Frank, so basically show of proof of funds doesn't mean I should have paid my fees to the school but that i should have the funds to carry me through for one year in an account, this account can be my Sponsors account in Nigeria right?, or does it have to be in a Canadian bank? Frankrobbn1: |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by Emmaokudu: 2:17pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
Good day, Since it was a Diploma and not a Masters or PGD, I thought they weren't going to need my university transcript, but no problem. These documents do they have to be Notarized photocopy's, Originals or regular photocopies, because right now i only have a scanned copy of my Uni transcript, Already sent the original copy to the school. Frankrobbn1: |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by mcobex: 2:23pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
Slik07:Maybe that was what happened. I remember the guy saying the money will he paid to him once he gets to Canada, cic requested for proof of fund during his application and I advised him to go get a letter again from PTDF stating their policy now is he needs to be in Canada before they can send his funding. He did just that and cic approved his application |

WEIRDPC: same situation, though I'm yet to secure admission, I have a Master's already, but I intend to take the Master's /PhD route, are you advising I shouldn't state that I have an M. Sc going for another one in my sop when applying to CIC? wouldn't they seek record from the school? |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by Frankrobbn1: 5:48pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
123baba: Congratulations in advance! If you have a copy of the E-medical sheet, scan it and send it to them, letting them know that you did upfront medicals prior submission of your application. If you don't, go to the hospital where you did the medicals, ask them to resend the result of your medicals to cic. |
