NwanyiOkpa:
Good evening,

Thanks for all your contributions and answers to my previous questions. However, I have a few more questions that i need to ask;

1. Can i use the statement of account that i request through the mobile app and is delivered directly to my email address? or must i visit the bank and get it stamped? NB: The statement has the bank's watermark.

2. According to the Canadian immigration requirement for a student visa, I need to show funds for year one alone. Do i need to show funds for year 2 also?

Thanks in anticipation.

NwanyiOkpa:



I doubt you are right but let's wait for the gurus sha.

Because from my calc, it's suppose to be

Year 1: 21K + 10K
Year 2: 4K + 10K

Hello Mr Frankrobbn1 and everyone else. I specifically mentioned the above BC I'm new and i don't know how to post independently yet so i quoted him. I'd appreciate if everyone would give me an input bc I'm currently going gaga.

I applied first in Jan and got denied in Feb. Refusal Details being: "current employment situation and family ties in home country and in Canada"

Here's my profile:
I'm 23(24 by October) No tertiary education yet, i have an 8 year gap from end of secondary schl up till 2020.
I've been working since 2016 as an ict staff at an energy company, learning software dev. And volunteering at a local book club
SOA= 11,200usd + 13M , sponsor is mum, 2yr fees + living expenses is way less than the total of what i presented so money aint issue.
I gained adms at NBCC for a 2yr diploma in network administration for Fall 2020,
I had my sponsor write a letter too including my SOP , waec, family properties including a land Doc in my name, mum's last designation and salary increase.

I reapplied on 4th of march with all info above and added
Proof of family ties which include: Dad and mum's employment proof, my birth certificate and that of entire family,each member of family's local govt of origin cert
I also added proof of employment which include : Employment letter, confirmation letter, ID, Leave approval for duration of study from my employer and also indicated that i hv been denied bfr above.

This morning i got a BVL and from what I've been reading from y'all, BVL before medicals is likely a rejection which is my case at the moment. My mind is tricking me to think its bc of corona and no one would be reasonable to send a medical form at the moment.

Sorry for my very long post, Help a brother everyone �����

And pls how do i order GMCS notes

What if I evaluate the HND + PGD with WES, won’t it be a degree equivalent?

Frankrobbn1:


It might be a degree equivalent but that doesn't guarantee you a space for a master's program in Canada. Prior to be granted a master's admission in any of the designated institutions in Canada, graduate admission department always take into consideration your undergraduate GPA of which yours is an HND certification and not a Bachelor's degree. As i earlier advised, your better option is going for a PGD program in Canada without declaring the previous PGD during the visa application. This is the feasible way to increase your chances to be granted a Visa to study in Canada.

I hope this information helps.

In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter, don't hesitate to reach out here for professional assistance and advice.

It will end in praise

u didn't made mention of proof of fund for the remaining semester..my wife s going for a similar program (Post graduate) at Conestoga

Frankrobbn1:





The first question has already been answered by me.... please refer to my previous post about using ONLINE GENERATED BANK STATEMENT for a study visa application.

It is the responsibility of the visa officer to determine whether your sponsor has the financial capability to cover for the subsequent years of study. This is achievable by going through your sponsor's financial history and ongoing turnover in his/her bank statement. That's the more reason it is very important to show excessive funds available especially if your program duration is more than a year.

Following the financial illustration given by you... Tuition and living expenses for the first year is = 31kCAD. Your sponsor should have a total sum of 12.5M and above to show adequate financial resources to cover for the first year of studies and ability to sponsor the subsequent years of study.

Frankrobbn1:


I regret to hear that your study visa has been rejected the second time. I would like to see the recent reason for a refusal from IRCC before I can be able to assist you on the best possible way to prepare an airtight and successful study permit application.

Be strong, don't give up.

It will end in praise.

Your letter should be addressed to:

Canada Deputy High Commission,

Hello Effizi

Please I would like to ask you some questions over the phone if you dont mind.

Frankrobbn1:


There is no set out timeframe by IRCC for you to be able to file for your wife's SOWP. Once you've successfully arrived Canada, secured an apartment and currently pursuing your program in a designated learning institution (DLI). You can absoutely apply for your wife to accompany you to Canada.

The list of required documents for a SOWP are as follows;
1-) Proof of your tuition receipt,
2-) Admission letter,
3-) Stamped page of your Canadian Visa,
4-) Study permit,
5-) Proof of enrollment in the school (list of registered courses).
6-) Proof of funding (please refer to the current financal cut-off for LICO and make sure you're using LICO for your proof of funds)
7-) Documents to show proof of relationship with your spouse (marriage certificate, wedding photos etc).
8-) Proof of sufficient ties that would compel you and your spouse return home (Aged parents which basically rely upon her for care and support, landed property documents, buildings, investments in the bank, proof of registered business certificate etc).
9-) Letter of explanation from you (explaining why your spouse should join you in Canada and how important your marriage is to both of you and why you can't leave her to stay alone in Nigeria and where she will staying in Canada (your address) etc).
10-) A letter of explanation from your spouse (detailing why she should join you in Canada with your kids (if any) etc..)
11-) International Bio data page (for you)
12-) International bio data page (for spouse)

The list goes on and on... these are few important requirements for a SOWP.

It will end in praise.

Hi House and guru like @Frankrobbn1, as I prepare gradually to apply for the SP, I have below questions please,

1. Sponsorship: My total money (both tuition and LE) for the 1st comes from school funding and myself (personal account) second year tuition is 75% funded and indicated in acceptance letter. In this case, who do I use as sponsor? myself? other? or family?. I wanted to add my uncle as co-sponsor basically for LE in second year if I will ever need money from another person in that second year.

2. EE prfile: What do you suggest I do with the EE profile? Do I withdraw it and include UCI number or leave it as it is? which one is better from experience?

3. Cost of Study section in the app form has tuition, room and board and other, there was no other expenses stated in my acceptance letter, only tuition and referred me to cic site for guidance. Now, do I put my tuition, LE as room and board? what do I now put in "other"?
Again,it required cost of my studies, is it for the whole program (2yrs) or just for the first year?

4. Lastly , I'm married with a kid before traveling to US and they are at home in Nigeria, but the marriage was a traditional one and there is no certificate from the court yet, I was lazy to do that before I eventually traveled. Now, do I indicate status as married or Common-Law? They will request for marriage certificate if I indicate married and Statutory declaration of C-L if I choose that. Challenge will be that how do we sign Declaration while we are apart in US and Nigeria? Can they accept two different declaration? one from here and another from Nigeria?

Thanks so much as usual, I appreciate. So sorry for the length. @Frankrobbn1 and other experience folks, please, help.

OluwaFavored:
Hi House and @Frankrobbn1, I'm patiently waiting for your responses, please.

In addition to my question 4, is marriage certificate or Declaration of Common Law relationship needed along with applications if your spouse is not coming along to Canada?

OluwaFavored:
Please, @Frankrobbn1 and all other experience folks, I need your response to below, spare me few minutes please.

Good evening house , trust we are all doing great please, I have finally Come to plead and would really appreciate any one who can help me vet my SOP please I’ll be really grateful thanks In advance !!
God bless

Frankrobbn1:


It's quite unfortunate that IRCC doesn't practice the first come first serve basis when processing a visa application. This is as a result of individual case differences as every applicant's application is unique and as such treated based on the visa officer's perspective. About 20% of applications are more complex for the immigration officers to process due to things like how easily they can verify information, how well and how quickly an applicant answer their requests and whether the application is complete.

I hope this information helps.

It will end in praises.

Frankrobbn1:



March applicants have started receiving updates on their applications.

Matured married applicant can certainly be self-sponsored. That's even the most ideal way of proving to the visa officer that you're well-established in your home country and undoubtedly would return home after studies.

It will end in praise.

Owoch:


P.S: this is not to talk down on anyone, but please if you know you aren't the type that studies or can sit on his or her own and pass please look for another country to go or better still express entry. if you are an average student trust me you'll catch up because of the teaching style and the Naija spirit wey no dey carry last. please consider your option carefully as schooling in Canada is extremely stressful. i am giving this info so you can know what you are coming into. the devil will not use us to burn thousands of dollars o. copyright is real here, plagiarism is real here. get caught; get expelled. ILEYA NI YEN O.

Boss can I email you too?

Frankrobbn1:


I'm fantastically good bro. The lockdown has kept everyone indoors including myself, thus my unusual presence on this platform to continue making impact and assisting others to actualize their Canadian dreams while we earnestly hope for the lockdown to be called off soon.

I trust you're practicing the self-isolation at your end and staying safe too?

NwanyiOkpa:



Are you sure?

I was thinking the living expenses is 10K CAD per year.
