Many peeps that didn't pay kobo got their study permit and some paid and also got. So its not compulsory you pay school fees at all cos its does not mean they will grant u the visa. Peeps here have paid full school fees and still got refused only for them to start having serious headache getting their school fees back. So the choice is urs... Peace

A Nairalander we picked up at the airport yesterday (01/01/19) with moniker called lonelydude is coming in for his masters in western university london (top 10 school in Canada) and he paid nothing yet his visa was granted and we have also seen several of such cases.
Infact, his masters is a 1 year program and he got his visa.

However, let me state clearly that if your sponsor is not your family member and you don’t have any substantial amount of money in your own personal account, I will personally recommend the third party to make some commitment by paying part of your fees or send some of the money to your account (this is my opinion).

All the best.

Austacus:



You mustn't show your company's account even if you're the main sponsor.

Your uncle should show some commitment by paying your tuition fee or transferring living expenses to you.
He should submit an affidavit of support, sponsorship letter, Account statement and letter of reference and his CAC or any document that shows his source of income

Your finance is very good as you stand to co-sponsor yourself
make sure you submit your CAC and other relevant documents that suffix your earn of living.

Make sure you show a very strong relationship between you and your uncle

Work more on your home tie, I will have to redirect you to this page cause the work is already done in the page.

Hi Everyone.

I have another question. I just got my offer letter and my program starts on May 6 2019. Can I still apply for a study permit now or is it too late?

Do you advise that I get admission for September intake instead and apply for visa?

JustMellow:


Some an applicants mistake two things as one when satisfying the VOs on one's ability to meet financial capability. I will use your case to make a brief explanation based on the excerpt from your question which you have been able to meet/show "proof of funds" for your studies in Canada.

The second aspect is to justify the "source of funds" which certainly you would have included some business/employment(economic) documents to back the source of funds and including the SOA gives your claim further credence which proves to two things:

1. If the said person is your sponsor, it shows the ability to meet personal responsibilities and catering for any intended needs after the funds dole out for your studies.

2. That outside the sponsorship funds made available to you, there is a reliable financial inflows irrespective of the purpose.

To answer your question; yes! It is compulsory and it will be also sagely if you include yours too.

MsJu:
Yes, I have sent her aPM even contacted the number she shared here but the person said it's a wrong number.

Good day everyone

I got admission to UPEI undergraduate computer science yesterday. Here is my profile am 28 years old
I have an OND in computer Engineering 2011, have been working as a programmer since 2011 until the company shut down 2017 so I decided to study in Canada, my Dad is my sponsor and he as a strong SOA, what are my chances considering my age?

Secondly, there is a spelling different in my Dad last name is Taofik, my own last name is Taofeek. Do I still need prove to show that he's my Dad?

Thanks

Frankrobbn1:

Hello gr8full2God,

I noticed you have asked this question countless times on this thread and no one attempted to answer you. Sorry about that!.

First and foremost, I'll start by congratulating you on your admission into the university. In respect to your questions, Age has never pose to be a point at issue to a study visa to Canada so long as you can carefully account for your study gaps and explain reasonably what you've been up-to until this date, What made you not to further your education until now?, What makes you think that you can cope with the stringent Canadian system of education if paradventure you're been extended the privilege to study in Canada? All of these must be well substantiated in a logical modus operandi in your SOP. Taking into account the fact that you're going for a computer science program which is reasonable in light with your OND certificate in computer engineering, your chances are halfway. For this reason, I would suggest you say after your OND, you had too many options for studies but was not sure which one to choose. You never wanted to settle for something less just for the sake of earning a degree. You made so many efforts to further your undergraduate studies here in Nigeria but all attempts proved abortive as you were been offered a program you had no interest in. Ever since then, you've been working in the IT department as a programmer in your father's company. Your sole intention of doing this, is to spend some time in the business to understand what area that needs improvement and focus. Having worked there since 2011 till date, you discovered that the IT sector is the area that needs more improvement. With this discovery, you now made up your mind to further your studies abroad (Canada) so as to continue with your passion in the ever growing and unprecedented field of IT and potentially enhance your capabilities towards managing your father's business by applying new technologies in order to yield a remarkable result in the business and for her clients. Additionally, include professional certifications like C++, Java, Data Structure, and other programming languages... this will satisfy the visa officer that you're truly a bonafide applicant and have been following your passion since you last left school.

Attached is a screenshot from an applicant who is 51 years of age, going for a Post secondary diploma and got his study permit approved earlier last year 2018 and also an applicant on this reputable thread whose wife got approved in October, 2018 with huge study gaps. So it's very possible you can get yours as well only with a convincing letter.

On the other hand, you need to provide a notarized affidavit explaining the discrepancy between your dad's name and yours. Perhaps, you could put the blame on the typist while processing your dad's document.

Please note that the information on how you can cover up for your study gaps as drafted by me is a guide and musn't be plagiarized. . You may wish to add more/remove some points to what I have written.

I hope this helps. Please feel free to reach out here, should you require further guidance.

Hi,

Please this question has been answered before. Kindly check my PREVIOUS POST

Naijaforeigner:


It is generally recommended that there is a career progression IF you are applying from Nigeria. However, there would always be exceptions due to context, Grace (for the religious folks), applicant's LOE or discretion of the VO.

Once you step foot in Canada, you don't need to worry about Career progression. You can do two 1 year programs (same level) and once you are done, you apply for PGWP.

P.S This is for all students coming to Canada. As a student you are allowed to work ON and OFF campus

OFF Campus = Max of 20 hours (some companies give you about 22 hours, depends on the shift)

ON Campus = Unlimited hours, although getting campus jobs could be challenging.

This means you can work more than 20 hours as a student if you can get ON campus job that does not clash with your time table while doing off campus jobs.

Okattamgbee:


I appreciate you taking your time to answer my question.

Meanwhile, i intend borrowing the fund for only tuition fee purpose and decides to include a letter from him and also affidavit of fact to support my application.

What do you suggest sir?

Amahjosh:
Sir Frank I just tried GT bank Master Card it still decline the payment. And i entered the banking hall and was told I can't pay that amount 2.4M using my naira card. Seems I will be using the dorm account route. But I am not sure if the money will get to the school before the deadline which is today.

vsylva:
BRO.. make the payment using your dorm account the moment you initiate the transfer send an email to the school with the receipt of transfer to show you have done it... so they wait for it... if it takes whatever number of days it shouldnt matter because you made the payment before the deadline and you even notified them about it... i think... i stand to be corrected oh...

Ibbond:


Applied to Georgian college for May 2019. Would be leaving end of next month.
