It has worked for some people. But I honestly don’t know if there’s a fixed rule. Maybe gurus in the house would have an idea. But 2 years ago is a long time, and many things have changed. Some people put in almost no effort and got visas 2-3 years ago. But we can see that it’s getting difficult as the days go by. How much is her tuition? And what type of scholarship is it? ayoadefantastic: Pls what are the best proof of fund one can use. I only used the scholarship I got for mine 2yrs ago. Thought that would suffice but obviously it's not in her case.

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by ayoadefantastic: 4:44pm On Sep 25, 2020 |
Thanks a lot. Chocs: I think it is always advisable to include funds even if one has funding/scholarship.
Her SOP should also be worked on. Maybe a guru in the house can help her review it or get a paid professional.
But most importantly please order her GCMS notes right away as it can take up to 35 days to arrive. Google gcms notes and you’ll find how to order it, it costs $12. With this, you’ll be able to see the visa officers comment and work on it before reapplying to prevent another rejection. All the best.

Tuition is like 8k+ per annum. Research assistance from AAFC (29k per annum) technically that covers tuition and living exenses. Chocs: It has worked for some people. But I honestly don’t know if there’s a fixed rule. Maybe gurus in the house would have an idea. But 2 years ago is a long time, and many things have changed.

Londonboi7960:
Guidelines on How to write an SOP (Statement of Purpose)
Most important thing: Avoid Plagiarism
While writing SOP, the following things to be mentioned which will boost chances of convincing a VISA OFFICER and possibly getting a STUDY VISA APPROVAL:
1. Introduce yourself in first paragraph. Write, what kind of person you are, your interests and personality etc. This may also include one line background of work & study you did earlier. This should be related to the course your are going to pursue.
2. Explain what do you know about the area of study you are applying for. Like HR, Marketing, Finance, IT, Multimedia, Engineering etc. Market trends, application of knowledge in work, organisations/roles where you can work after studying in this XYZ field and if possible, 1-2 real life example where you experienced this personally (in your current job or someone in family who works in this field etc.)This shows you are well read and know what you are getting yourself into.
3. Now explain Why Canada. Mention all points Canada is famous for like low crime rate, diversity (which helps in learning), livability and quality of life related statistics etc. Facts & figures help you here. Google a little
4. Why this particular college/Univ. Explain ranking of the same or relevance of course being offered or if someone known is studying there etc. Mention positive points which you can gather from ex-student's testimonials and college website itself. Again, write in your own language and by your own understanding.
5. Why this Program: Mention why you chose this program. Explain how courses (subjects) of this course will help you in your career, how some of these subjects you have learnt earlier (basic knowledge) and need better and upgraded knowledge about these (especially if applying for PG/masters), explain application of subjects in real job scenario etc.
6. Summarize with reason of coming back to home country: Now summarize all details by mentioning your career goals and what will you do post completing this course.Mention how this course will help you in making your career in your home country. Be passionate about job market of your home country and coming back to your country. Because "You'll not leave Canada" is one of the biggest reason for Student Visa refusal.
7.Travel history If u av not travelled bfor, state the reason why u av decided to travel at this point of ur life, and how important the program is to ur career & personal development back home
8.Family Ties-Hime ties U can talk about how children are apparent to family inheritance, and how u are obliged to take care of ur family (parent and siblings). U can attach their birth certificates
Secondly, talk bout Landed Properties (Documents, deed of assignment, Deed of conveyance,survey plans and other important doc.) to of prove ur Hometies
9. Proof of Funds Mention that you have paid ur tuition fee or made a deposit of ur tuition fee and so so as amount has bin set aside by your sponsor for ur Tution fee (if not yet paid), so so amount for ur One year Living Expenses (might be more than one year) and so so amount for ur flight itinerary
10. Final Note U can end it like this or in ur own language Dear Sir/Madam, I hope that you will find all my documents in proper order and I kindly request you to process my visa application as soon as possible. I am very much thankful to you for giving me your valuable time to process my student visa application.
Your Sincerely, Write ur name and Surname
Happy Writing

sleekcheek: Please gurus in the house I need your help with this
How can you prove ties to your home country? family of 6? are you the first born? Use your family as one of the reasons you will come back. Think of something that will make you come back to your family. Study plan: What is your long and short term plan? short term plan post graduation of proposed program of choice in Canada What are you going to study in Canada? Can you present place of work give you a study leave and then use that as well? What is your present position in your company, on completion of your studies in Canada, what position will you be able to apply for in your company or another? possible salary increment? Can you prove that on completion of your MSc or PGD in Canada, a higher role will be given to you or a better offer? This will explain or justify why you want to spend such amount on your program in Canada and not Nigeria. Please be specific when giving these details Long term plan? Do you want to do a business in your home country? Are there any gaps in Nigeria you plan to fill by studying that course? If yes, be specific on how studying in Canada will help in actualizing this ambition. All the best. 3 Likes |

Abimbolakay123:
I have been really scared of another rejection so I kept on deferring my admission to the next semester and now I have another offer letter for January 2021 intake and I decided to re apply for a visa at the Canadian embassy again n
my questions:
1. can the fact my dad being in south Africa and i in Nigeria hinder him being my sponsor?
2. can the fact that i not having a well funded account or work experience cause a rejection?
3. do you think i shouldn't re apply and just gather more work experience?
4. if i should re apply do you think it's wise for me to merge the Nigeria account he opened with his south African documents which carries different addresses or i should just stick with the south Africa documents alone?
I'll be waiting patiently for a response from ya'll please help provide as much relevant information as you can
p.s I'll be 24 years old in November and the fact that my dad is not here means he can't swear an affidavit of sponsorship
Rejection is part of life, please embrace it and never let it stop you from pursuing what you believe in. (1) Your dad can sponsor you even if he is based in South Africa (2) Not having experience is not an issue. You are 24. You actually do have experience via NYSC and your other job. Most people all over the world lost their jobs during Covid, nothing to worry about. (3) Reapply, but have other plans on the side (Have a plan B). Placing all your hopes in Canada is what is making you scared of reapplying. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. (4) Since he is resident in SA, let him use just 1 SOA (statement of account) from SOA, provided that account can cover all of your fees in Canada. If there is no need to submit 2 SOA's, please don't. Most importantly, he is your father. If 1 bank document is enough, please stick to that. Just make sure he shows what he does for a living and all other necessary documents. All the best. |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by alexflint20: 6:24pm On Sep 25, 2020 |
Thank you so much. While i await other peoples opinions alexflint20:
Taking the applicants plan of studies into account, the applicant does not appear to be sufficiently well established that the proposed studies would be a reasonable expense. The applicant's plan of studies appears vague and poorly documented. The applicant's prior travel history is insufficient to count as a positive factor in my assessment. Weighing the factors in this application, i am not satisfied that the applicant will depart canada at the end of the period authorized for their stay. for the reasons above, i have refused this application.
Above is what my GCMS note says. Profile for my last application Sep 2019 Age 28years Graduated with 2;1 in Electrical Electronics Engr and got admitted for masters in Information Technology security Got employed at a Telecom service provider company immediately after NYSC 2016 till date Documents submitted; B.eng cert, sponsorship letters from Aunt and husband who resides in US, their bank statements(all joint accounts) and property documents Nb; Bank statements are well funded, even pay slips showing they are well paid annually Also submitted their Birth certificate alongside my parents own to show my aunt and dad have same parents
Now, i want to re-apply and wish to get advice, these are what changed Got admission to a better ranking school than the other, the first school ranked about 5k in the world while the present is ranked about 1k in the world and about 30 in canada Using my mums account statements as a sponsor (having about 13m, could be increased if neccessary) school fees 33k Wrote IELTS exam
Your advice is highly needs as i need opinions as to also go ahead to apply for winter (jan) 2021 as time seems limited or should i defer the admission again and apply for next year? Also does the foreign account statement used earlier a factor?
I will answer any more questions needed Regards |

@justwise @other elders in the house please help me out.
A relative is applying to study in Canada via an agency. He is going to study a program in a College, although he's over 18, not a full B.Sc. yet. I have not been privy to the application details from the onset and no one in the family seems to have complete information as regards the process, they simply gave it off to the agency. He's currently in the Medicals stage, and the agency has asked him to go for Medicals in one hospital within VI. I am a bit skeptical as they aren't really providing information about the full process.
Questions 1. Does Canada not require an interview before granting the student visa? 2. At what point will he be called for the interview? 3. Does Canada Visa allow medicals to be done at just any hospital or is ........Q-Life Family Clinic, Plot 155a Prince Ade Odedina Street, off Sinari Daranijo, Victoria Island Annexe,................................ An approved clinic for Canada medical tests.
I'd appreciate if anyone with information about this can help clarify, thanks. |

Thats the disadvantage of using an agency. They will never ever give you access to see your own application yoy paid for. Pls you dont need an interview, in fact Canadian immigration protocol does not need physical interviews, you do your talking via an SOP (statement of purpose). My advice is this, demand you know the status of the application cos if the applicant got a medical request, they should be a letter telling him to do so. If they dont offer you pls dont bother cos those guys are just playing with you. They tell you to go for medicals making you have hope and at the end, they present one lie as a reason. Finally the only approved clinics for medicals for Canadian immigration is just Family clinic in VI and IOM in Ikeja only in lagos and Abuja. But do not go for that medicals unless you have an evidence telling you to do so. Besides the medicals is not free.. Finally why is an 18yr old not applying for a Bsc in a university but rather applying to a college for a different program thats not BSc.. Pull the plug now before its too late. |

Questions
1. Does Canada not require an interview before granting the student visa? - nope
2. At what point will he be called for the interview? - doubt he would, for Canada you put forward your sp application then wait for a response from them
3. Does Canada Visa allow medicals to be done at just any hospital or is ........Q-Life Family Clinic, Plot 155a Prince Ade Odedina Street, off Sinari Daranijo, Victoria Island Annexe,................................ An approved clinic for Canada medical tests. - well, if you check the ircc website you'll see that Q - life is one of the approved clinics to get your medicals done! And IOm also
Also you should consider doing it yourself as the guidelines here help with that.
