How did u knw this, did ur bank call you to notify you?

mcobex:
As long as he explains the source of the money, you have no problem. Let him explain why the lump sum and show proof of it and you will be good to go. He should also explain he believes more in investing in real estate (he should show proof of the investments he has by showing C of O of properties, rental agreement with tenants of those properties etc)

peruz:
Pls is it advisable for someone that does not bear the same surname has the applicant for study permit be her sponsor? Hence is it possible for a person that put in for study permit be a sponsor though the result for his application is not out yet?

Hello Gurus. I got a refusal with VO's reasons being:

1. I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.

2. I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your current employment situation.

It seems to me the first comment referred to my SOP even though I thought I was detailed and explanatory enough. I also ran it by people too.

On the second comment, below are the documents submitted for proof of employment from 2012 to date:

1. My CV showing all my roles from 2012 (NYSC till date).
2. Testimonial letter from NNPC confirming I did NYSC there as Production Intern.
3. My employment letter and confirmation letter from my first employer after NYSC. I worked with the establishment from 2012 to 2018 in 4 different roles in production operations and supply chain.
4. Last six months payslips in my previous place of work.
5. 2 awards in my previous place of employment.
6. My employment letter and confirmation letter where I work from 2018 till date in Supply Chain and Logistics department.
7. My latest 6month payslips in my present place of work.
7. Photocopy of work ID.

I had my first degree in Industrial Engineering. I have worked for 6.5years basically in Production operations, Logistics and Supply Chain roles. I applied for 2 PGC programs: Logistics & Supply Chain Management and Operations Management.

Kindly advise on what I need to provide in my reapplication to counter the reasons given for refusal by the VO.

the do that sometimes,it happened to my friend nothing to worry about if the[b] money is still in the account[/b].

Vesment:

the best is while looking for schools, avoid London and check on other parts in the UK like sheffield, nottingham, manchester etc. even tho the school fees is low. healthcare, visa fee and return flight should be clicking 700k depending on the type of visa u want ranging from normal to super priority or so.
remember course and placement year(co-op) matters a lot.

Hello Omonoba1981,

Your uncle can use his younger brother to drop his PP at the Vfs but he should go with the print out of collection slip/paper/document, his photocopied PP bio-data page, and a written consent letter. After the drop-off, he will pay for a return courier service to any destination because nobody will be allowed to pick it on his behalf once the counterfoil has been appended.

All the best!

Hi everyone on this forum.
I have been following this thread since I found out about it barely 2 months ago.
I am here to share the goodness of the Lord God Almighty and to all those who keep this space active and educative.

I don't want to write a thesis here but feel I must share some information I think will help someone to be encouraged their application process.


I applied for my student permit in June 2019 and got my approval and visa by end of August 2019
To prepare for this, I read all of the part 15 and 16 thread on Canadian Student Visa on Nairaland up to the time I finally submitted my application. This was very helpful especially considering the list of documents that I had initially intended to submit.... that would have been woefully inadequate.
The forum taught me the following:


No two applications are the same.

Diligence in preparing your application is absolutely necessary or your reject awaits you.
Do your own research as well as cross check every information you pickup from this forum.
I got information about cheap student travel fares which I didn't know about

My profile goes like this.
I have 4 visa rejects that date back years ago.
2 from Canadian student permit application
2 from another European country
The above were declared in my application


Over the years I managed to improve my travel history by visiting the US and other European countries

Statistics provide information for decision making so I did some homework to realize the following about visa approvals.

Nigeria had 18% approval rate in 2018.
Applications to Colleges have 50% approval rates.
Applications to Universities have 80% approval rates
Applications to the highly industrialized provinces have 80-90% approval rates whereas applications to cheaper provinces like Saskachewan etc
Applications to study at PhD levels have higher approval rates followed by masters, Bachelors then Diploma respectively.

(i will provide my sources when required... don't know if its not permitted here to drop web links etc)

The above is very useful information to enable you navigate towards choices that improve your approval rate.

SOP I believe is one of the most important things in your application. Please take time to write your SOP and possibly have others look through it for you. I took close to 7 weeks to put together my SOP because I needed to deal with every uncertainty possible that could flaw my application. Some may be wondering why so long. I applied to begin school in Jan 2020 to give me enough time for any uncertainty.

I applied to do a Diploma in a course which is unrelated whatsoever to my previous study area.
From a country with low approval rate
I chose a Province with low approval rate
Also I am in the middle of my career so am a much older person compared to the typical prospective foreign student.

I fully paid my fees for the year as well as accommodation for the year
had more than 10,000 Canadian dollars in my bank account for my upkeep for the year

The rest was my total dependence on God to see me through. The Almighty demonstrated his love and mercy and all went well.
My little advice to prospective applicants is to start early, don't be in a rush as if someone is chasing you out of the country. If you don't have the right profile now, take time to develop that profile so that you don't leave any chances for a rejection.

Thanks and God help us all.

Hello Zzzz1234,

There's no need providing too much information about your siblings, they're not the principal applicant. However, only their birth certificates will suffice. Any other information about them is best advised to be stated in writing words. Thus, its also not bad including other relevant documents of them, but like i said before, they're not the principal applicant just leave it simple.

Good luck!
