Hello everyone,

I need help writing my SOP, anybody here who can share me any samples, guidelines, I'd appreciate

phillipsmatt193@gmail.com

Please any help with this.......

mcobex:
Feel free to include your 6M SOA, just explain how you managed to save that much(even if the business isn't registered).

Thanks. Is crypto legal in Canada? I would not want to include what would soil my efforts.

TheBeat:

Please I have a peculiar case. I intend to sponsor myself and raise up to 10m in my account but I do not have that amount in my account at the moment. The cash will come from my sisters and brother because they took it from me to run their businesses as I had no immediate need for the money. Most of the cash was sent to my sister's account when mine was dormant so that it could be accessed easily and most importantly if anything bad happens to me (God forbid) because I am not resident in the country and I am single. I have landed properties and earn over 10m per annum for more than 5 years. I intend to provide bank statement from where I reside, pay slip, offer letter, confirmation of appointment and introduction letter from my company. Will this raise dust and will these documents be convincing? Kindly advise me.

In view of the bolded statement, it will definitely raise eye brows if your brother and sister decide to deposit the 10M into your account considering that your account has been dormant for couple of months now. The long and short story is that you should start now by building your account statement for a period of 4 months before applying for VISA. I repeat do not deposit the 10M into your account towards the time of application submission, your application will be rejected on the basis of financial insufficiency.

My school is asking for 2000CAD deposit (non-refundable).

Is this a good deal?

Not a good deal. Meanwhile can you tell us the name of this school. There are other good schools in Canada that you can apply to without such conditions.

Greeting all. If I’m using my dad’s account, Please which is better between a fixed deposit certificate and his statement of account? Also, is there any issue if the exact money required for my tuition and living expenses is what is in my dad’s available balance/fixed deposit? With some little money in my personal account? Thank you.

His account statement is much better when ascertaining his financial strength in sponsoring your education in Canada. Nonetheless, you can submit the both (SOA & FD) with your application. Your sponsor (Dad) is expected to have adequate proof of financial support for your education. Hence, the money in his account is suppose to outweigh your tuition and living expenses and have some left for his dependents and personal welfare. The visa officer knows that it's quite unreasonable for a sponsor to use the entire funds in his account for your education in Canada. In essence, the advice I'm trying to pass across is that your sponsor (dad) should increase the funds in his account before you think of applying for a Canadian study permit regardless of the fact that you have little/no funds in your account.

The name of the school is memorial university of Newfoundland. Although the deposit is part of the tuition fees and I could include the receipt as part of the deposit during my visa application. Right?

NwanyiOkpa:


memorial university of Newfoundland.

The 2,000CAD at MUN is refundable. Please disregard what was written on the tuition deposit receipt. You can request for a refund on the account that your application was rejected. Don't fright okay. I know someone who got his refund back from them.

Sure you can include it. As a matter of fact it let's the visa officer know that you've secured your seat in the accepted term.

experience is really the best teacher. I wish I could get you to directly hold my hand through the process but I know how much of a burden that would be. Thanks so much.

NwanyiOkpa:
Good morning,

I am about starting the application process. I will be submitting my brother's savings account with 10M plus. I also have 6M+ in my own personal account from trading crypto but i can't use it since it's not a registered business (or can i?) the amount is not a huge deposit but it grew over time.

We have properties like a newly purchased business (owned by my dad). Would submitting the business registration document and property document serve as a home tie?

I do not have any land of my own although there is a large portion of land that was purchased for all of us(children) and the document bears my mum's name.

What could i use as a home tie?

NwanyiOkpa:


Thanks. Is crypto legal in Canada? I would not want to include what would soil my efforts.

Is your account statement showing deposit from any crypto clients? Also, is the funds in the account showing it's from crypto business?. There are many ways you can present your profile in a logical and convincing manner. Please give answers to these questions, as it will enable me advice you appropriately on how best to present your case to the visa officer and stand a better chance to be granted a study visa.

NwanyiOkpa:


Amen. I will just be here waiting until applications resume again. I heard everything is on pause now.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) are still accepting and processing applications. Even with the current global pandemic nothing is on pause unless biometrics which you will have to wait for 90days before you can submit your fingerprints at the VFS. To validate my post regarding this matter, please refer to IRCC NEWS.

Thanks so much @Frankrobbn1 for this detailed response. I appreciate you and every other person that commented and will comment.

As you rightly said and also in my earlier post, I really need someone to work with and I appreciate if you can or know someone that you can recommend to me. I really need to turn-in a convincing application first time.

Thank you once again.

Feel free to let me know whenever you need my assistance. In my absence, there are other competent and deep rooted guys on this reputable thread and I have high regard for them. In the person of Mcobex, Justmellow, Naijaforeigner, and Qukdom.

Blema111, the only female guru in the house is also one of them.

It takes minimum of 4-5 months for you to be accepted for a master's in Engineering and LLM courses at the University of Windsor. Management programs takes about 2-3 months.

I hope this helps

Please house. I am new to this platform which i have heard so much positive news about. I applied for a study permit last year for a certificate program at Niagara college winter jan 2020 session through an agent and was denied for two reasons;
• Purpose of Study and
• employment situation
I have eventually gotten over the heartbreak and desire to proceed for another attempt.
However, i desire to handle the application process myself (of course with the help of the gurus here���� I’m begging) with hopes for success.

I really want to be intentional and perfect my application. I have taken my time to go through this thread from inception and i believe the informations acquired will help me through my application process.

For now, i want to apply for a certificate/Diploma program in Humber College Ontario and I’m looking at the following programs:
Research Analyst or
Hospitality and Tourism management
Are the programs chosen okay?
Again. How are the success stories this year? I strongly pray those Kenyan dudes will be more merciful this year��

Btw, i studied Industrial Maths and Statistics in Uni and graduated with a 2.2 and I’ve been working as a Customer Service Supervisor since 2017.
Any advice will be appreciated and any information required of me will be provided accordingly
Cc @frankrobbn1 please help me sir��

Welcome to the thread, I hope you will find your stay here very educating and rewarding as we work towards achieving success.

Having carefully analyzed your profile, there is no logical progression between your previous studies, your current employment and your choice of program. Hence why the visa officer boldly highlighted purpose of visit and current employment situation as a reason for a refusal. In order to prove that you're a bonafide student, you should be applying for a program that is reasonable in light with your current job as a Customer Service Supervisor. I would suggest you look into Management programs, HR programs or any other Art specialized programs, because that's the best possible way to demonstrate that your intentions are solely to study in Canada.

Awesome! From the list of documents you had listed it appears that you're a single applicant. What about your employment documents in particular (study leave)?. Aside the survey plans of these land, do you've the deed of assignments which is the land document?. I think you're good to go if you also include these documents with your application.

Hello everyone , kindly help me out here I have submit my application since January 22 still don't hear anything from them till now

Send an email to the Kenya, Nairobi immigration office requesting for the status/update on your application and asking if they require any further documents from you that could expedite the processing of your Visa.

Email -nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca.
Also raise a CSE via THE NAIROBI WEB FORM.

Don't forget to state in the mail that your application for a study permit has exceeded the standard processing times for Nigerian applicants. Furthermore, even if your application is approved now, you will still have to wait for VFS office to open before you can proceed to submit your passport.

Wow, it really takes time. Already thinking of alternatives. I will be patient and share the good news here when I received my letter of acceptance. Thanks!!!

Thank you for your response

Scan the transcripts you have. You DON'T have to obtain fresh transcripts from the school, it's never a requirement from the Canadian embassy that transcripts should be addressed to their office.

Yes Oga Frank, am a single applicant

As regards employment doc. ,I jz finished my NYSC (March 2020).. No Job Yet (Covid-19 is not helping matters in terms of Job Search )

Presently, aside the Survey Plans that is available ( No C-of-O Yet), there is Letter of Conveyance of the two landed properties, I don't know if it can be an alternative for Deed of Assignment.

Thanks...

TheBeat:

What happens if the EE profile is withdrawn or cancelled before the application for SP is made, will the record still show and considered as dual intent?

No it won't be considered as dual intent because it has already been cancelled.

You don't have problems with employment since you're a fresh graduate. When filling your IMM1294E form, endeavour to fill NYSC as your current job. Include your NYSC posting letter, the discharge certificate etc to support your claims.

The land deed of conveyance is okay, its same as deed of assignments.

Good morning,

I'm new here. I applied for graduate studies at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Process engineering(thesis route) for fall 2020/2021 session. I submitted my application November 2019. I was told the decision made will be released by march ending/early April. I don't know what is delaying. Also I haven't gotten a supervisor. I have written to a lot of them and no responses from them. Can anyone guide me in writing or a better approach to this.

Thank you

What course of study did you apply for? Which session and when did you submit your application?
