Hello Everyone,
I have been a silent reader but just created an account to share my testimony.

1st Online Submission : September 10th 2019
Correspondent Letter : October 15th 2019
Refusal Letter : October 15th 2019

2nd Online Submission : February 12th 2020
Original Passport Request Letter : March 6th 2020
Visa Stamped : awaiting because I just sent my passport on Monday
Resumption Date : September 2020

Here’s my story,
I initially applied for a study permit last year. I was denied but I didn’t care to reapply because I thought I would just focus on Australia or US.

However, things changed and I just made up my mind to leave Nigeria come rain , come sunshine. I was among the people that got affected by that lagos fire in December 2019. I lost almost everything I had and the government till today has not done anything or compensated us.

Anyway, a friend of mine told me about reapplying but I brushed it away. Told him I’m tired of Canada and their wahala. He told me to just try again and I should check Nairaland for tips etc. That’s how everything I started.
My university accepted to defer my admission for this years entry. I reapplied with the same exact documents. I just printed new statement. Then I rewrote my SOP & LOE. There was this twitter guy that helped me with the SOP & LOE.

Everything else I did myself with the tips from here. I did not pay any agent at all! Agent ruined me last time. When I got my medical request , i didn’t even take it serious or rushed it. Infact I already lost hope and excitement. I still went ahead to do it and just believed that highest it will just be lost money nothing more.

To make this short, please keep trying.
I just want to tell everyone here to not GIVE UP.
Even if you have been denied , try again if you can. Do not use agent if possible because they will just fill rubbish for you on the form.

Do it yourself. It is time consuming but worth it.
Make sure your SOP is standard. Don’t write stories that touch for them. Straight the point and concise. I will upload my documents later
I applied to Uni of Windsor. Paid all my fees etc . Two years Msc. Over 40m in my personal account and showed property documents. I believe that at times they just deny someone automatically like its computer based I dunno.

Just don’t give up please
God bless

Congratulations to you bro, can I PM you?

Fatkideric:

Hi guys, please how much will be enough to do a two years Msc in Computer Science in Newfoundland, both accommodation and living expenses?
Will 5 million naira be fine

Good evening house, I just received admission from can college Ontario to study Diploma in Database Administrator.. Pls how can I apply for Visa myself? I need assistance

Naijaforeigner:


I saw your previous post and this one. Do it yourself without an agent. Be very careful when filling those IMM forms. Ask questions if you are unsure of anything.

Blema asked you some very good questions which you did not answer, I will suggest you take time and look into it. I will like to ask you again, why is your company specifying 1 year as the leave period? Your LLM in University of Victoria, are you very sure it can be completed in 1 year?

The transfer of huge funds into your account by your Uncle is not a big deal, once you can explain the source of the funds and why. You can use a table to explain.

Your uncle has 16M in SOA, I hope he has had a good cash flow in that account for the past 4-6 months? The account balance is irrelevant if the cash flow is not good. Also show proof of relationship to your uncle.


Mikeerrr suggested you wait till April as a fully funded scholarship might boost your chances. Even though there is no official confirmation to this, I strongly agree with mikeerrr. I suggest you wait till April to see if the full scholarship comes through. If by end of April, no show, go ahead and apply with University of Victoria. Applying end of April for Fall admission is still very okay.

Changing schools is not a problem once visa is approved.

If you will apply end of April, I suggest you tell your uncle to print out another SOA. However, any SOA within 30 days of visa application is accepted.

Also, make sure you get someone to proof read your LOE.

Thank you very much. I have noted everybody and Blema’s comments with high importance. I will exclude and include documents as suggested thus far. I can also exclude the “1 year thing” in my study leave letter and just state that my study leave have been approved and that I’m expected to return without stating the 1 year period. Although, completion date on my acceptance letter is 2021 but there’s every likelihood that it might take more than a year.

I should be able to wait till mid-end of April and apply myself without an agent.

I’m presenting my uncle as brother. To establish relationship, I’m thinking of doing an affidavit of loss of his birth certificate which will reflect my dad and mum’s name or meet this local Govt people to do a back-dated birth certificate for him reflecting my dad and mum’s name. Please which is better?

Thank you.

Who can help in reviewing my SOP please?? Really urgent please

Is letter of introduction /reference for previous job which is above 10 years required?
If yes how can one a letter of introduction for such a company?(The company is no more on existence)

How old can a reference letter from current employer be as they can't be writing every time? Can it be 1 or 2 or 3 months old?

Is it mandatory for salary to be mentioned in the reference letter?

How much is your budget for the entire program, just a rough estimate ?

badboy92:

Define what you mean by budget.

Fatkideric:


Define what you mean by budget.

i mean, like whats are you expecting to spend both on fees, accommodation, etc for your MSc program?
Ie. like a range within 4million - 6million?

I am planning on studying in Newfoundland, Msc Computer science, its a 2 years MSc program.

Kinzeerichy:
Thank you all for the advice and guidance. If I’m to apply now, how difficult is it to change school if another Uni with full funding gives me admission by mid-end of April?

I should be able to do it myself. If I’m to wait till April ending, is it too late to apply as resumption is August 27?

Thank you again.

Switching schools is the easiest part of whole thing (don't think about that for now).
Yes you can wait for your other application to be approved,. it what it doesn't get approved then? Don't you think you would have wasted precious time?
Apply now with what you have since you have funds to cover your tuition and living expenses already, except if you don't have the said fund you talked about initially.

mikeerrr:
The full funded uni will give him more chances of getting the visa though

Just my opinion but it’s up to him

So what happens if they don't accept him then or day they are still processing it due to the Corona virus thing? No one knows when all this Corona virus thing will stop

Congratulations on your Victory!

Can you please provide information on your finance outlook.

How much is your estimated Tuition+living expenses and how much did your sponsor printed out in statement of account.

I would like to know how much money gives one relaxed mindset in terms of financial outlook. Thanks.

Pls did any body apply for University of Saskatchewan that has gotten addmisson my friend is worried she applied this January but has not gotten any reply form them.

Yes your study leave letter is a very important document. Let it just state something like “we are granting you leave for your study and wish you all the best” something like that without indicating the year.


Bro, if he is actually your uncle, from father or mothers side, tell the truth. Your uncle is also someone close and it is acceptable. Forget about all those things you are trying to do, it is not necessary. Let him explain why he wants to sponsor you. A convincing reason in his letter of sponsorship. Submit proof of how he is related to your dad or Mum, international passport page and other documents earlier mentioned. Submit and leave the rest with God.

Your application is solid, don’t entertain doubts, fear or any voice trying to tell you to cut corners.

P.s whatever I have told you is how I will go about mine if I were in your shoes. If you are not satisfied with my advise, you can do what your spirit tells you. I wish you all the best.

Hey guys
So I got rejected and just picked up my passport today. I got to know I was refused through my account online. But I’ve not still gotten the reason why I was rejected. There’s no message on my account online and no email has been sent regarding my rejection. I was hoping the refusal reasons were going to come with my passport but to my surprise, it didn’t. I only got a small slip saying “all important information has been sent to your email” but nothing was sent. Please guys help. How can I get to know the reasons why I was refused?

whats the best time to leave home to go get biometrics done at lekki.

Now I just discovered that there was an error...a friend of mine who’s an agent handled it for me as I was out Lagos then... so i sent him everything he needs even the previous refusal letter and he tick (No) for where they ask if I was refused before.....my application is still on background check. Pls I need your help and I don’t even know what right. A friend of mine in Canada said I should withdraw my application to avoid the 5yrs ban.
