Austacus:



Why do you guys believe SOP is the ultimate success upon Visa approval?

If that would be the case, a lot of people would be in the US and Canada by now cause it takes nothing to look for a good writer or someone that would orient you (for interview)

All your documents, balls down to all the refusal grounds.

See, your issue here is finance. (finance also balls down in purpose of visit. If you like write heaven and earth SOP and don't work on your finance same result will happen.( let your documents speak volume if your SOP). more so, if you change to MSC it will help too. You see, pgd/c is quite easier for fresh graduate. I am not saying pgd/c is impossible
(pgd/c, diploma should always come with strong application).

What you should have done for submitting such amount in your application is, you should have analyze the breakdown of your finances using Oanda in CAD by including your mom's money, aunt money, tuition fee paid and your account EVERYTHING All TOGETHER.

your aunt should have been your primary target cause moms account is 5m

She should have submitted a very good and detailed sponsorship letter explaining how committed she is.

(US citizen) they would believe her easily than those people that use distance uncle, aunt, Inlaw etc in Nigeria

She should have submitted anything that shows she has a good job or business.
Even if she submits $500 it may pass cause in Canada and US, ”you're richer than you think” . Only a few people would understand that statement.

Your next application is either your mom top up her account, or your aunt should be your primary target even though she would stand as the co-sponsor in your application.

PS: I am not against SOP but if you submit a very good, reasonable and convincing aapplication, even half page of SOP will pass.

Lemme stop here,
Your application is not airtight and your solution is not SOP.

eh God, Nigerians get money o.

I am just here thinking, what if there was no Nairaland? Agents go dey build house for Banana Island o

Even with the free information and free help on Nairaland, most applicants still don't have the confidence to read up and do the process themselves. There is just this fear Nigerians have when it comes to visa processing.

Life is funny, graduates paying ridiculous amount of money to agents (mostly non graduates), to help them with application and visa processing for post graduate studies in Canada

This life ehn ...

Hello Austacus,

Its good to know you're still here with us, I believe maple land is already colouring you in red. However, you said well in your post, but I felt the need to add to your valuable contribution esp on the SOP topic.

My take is that, the case varies and most times an application esp for a study permit is determined by the SOP upon an airtight application. I have no doubt that you've seen quite many SOPs for a SP application that lacks depth even though the applicant submitted the necessary documentation including funds, but still gets refused for the purpose of visit, which mostly comes from failure to relate and connect certain information in the SOP.

I for one believes in the relevance of the SOP even upon submitting an airtight application. I understand that so many people have gotten favourable decision in the past without an SOP, but the SOP is still the utmost document as far as SP application is concerned. An applicant can't be claiming to go for studies and can't present a well detailed SOP that reflects the needful.

For every average applicant that tends to try to achieve same academic aim as the well-to-do irrespective of the submitted documents, the SOP should be a paramount part of their application.

This SOP is a powerful something for as long as Canada SP stays. Everybody might have different views, but I am a believer.

Much respect!

Admission won't be an issue for PGD. Selkirk College offers a PGD in Hospitality Management. You'd get admitted provided you have a 2-year diploma or BS.c degree in any field... the main issue would be your Visa Application. You'd have to come up with a really convincing SOP stating why you wana switch from Physics to the aforementioned. Don't be scared o, it's very doable but up to you really.

Frankrobbn1:


First and foremost, you need to secure Admission into any of the Canada's DLI. Once that is done, gather the required documents, fill out the forms and proceed for the visa application. There is exam to be taken by an undergraduate student. Also, there is no scholarship opportunities for an undergraduate degree. Your Sponsor will be sole responsible for your tuition and upkeep throughout the 4 years duration of your stay in Canada.

Frankrobbn1:


Within 24-48hrs.

Hello
My friend wants to know if she will need a transit visa. The flight is Lagos to Frankfurt to Milan to Toronto.

Advil:
Hi Frankrobbn1, and anyone who can help
I am applying for study permit I came across some issues.
1. There is a place on the imm1294 form for tuition fees. The issue is University of Guelph dont give you tuition fees yet till after you register your courses. However they give you an estimate on the offer of admission, the tuition fee of previous semesters which is more detailed with break down of accommodation and the rest.(for one semester). Should I use that as the tuition fee? What do you think?


2. Same thing with expected period of completion, on the offer they just stated it's a 6 semester course there was no specific date for completion. Should I just calculate the date? Like since it is starting in January and it is 2 years then it will probably end in January 2022?

3. Regarding the tuition fee, the state scholarship is the one covering how do imput the amount set aside for tuition if i am not the one paying?

P.s I sent you an email you did not respond
