Oh... if you dont have sensitive documents among them, send them to me, let me try from my end, that is if you dont mind.

Uzee24:

Please which school is this?

maziude:


I.would like to if your related docs are in one pdf document.

If not combine them using

https://www.pdfmerge.com/

and shrink using

https://smallpdf.com/compress-pdf


This should work.d

Did that as well

maziude:


No, you cant zip.

There is this site i used to reduce my documents. I will search for it and send to you tomorrow when i get to school. If you can wait till then.

As explained by @thesoj.... Worked well for me


Document Scanning Tip
To get very high quality scans at a low file size, scan your document directly into the .tif or .tiff format at 300dpi color (don't convert another format to .tif/tiff, scan directly to .tif/.tiff), then use Adobe Acrobat Pro to convert it to PDF, and then finally distill the document. To distill, first convert the PDF to postscript [.ps], and then open the .ps file using Adobe Distiller; Distiller will ask you for the distill quality, choose the “Standard” option. The final PDF file size will shrink considerably but the quality will be super high!

Hi
Try and reduce the resolution(dpi) to say 100, while you're scanning each page of your documents on your printer. it'll help greatly reduce the file sizes while still retaining quality. I hope this helps.

maziude:



2. Yes. That is what I did. The most important thing is how well it addresses any issues that might raise dust.

Ope100:
Good morning.
1. ) No you cannot merge your family details with the family information form. It is expected that you scan it together with your SOP and upload it in the Letter of Explanation section.
2.) Yes you can. That's what that section is for.

Sugaro:
Pls am a little confused.
My offer letter didn't come with the tuition fee clearly stated, but a breakdown of the tuition into 9 semesters the program duration (which is 546cad per semester) .

Pls do I calculate the tuition for the first year or the total of 9 semesters and fill d form in the part stating funds available/tuition?
N/B I have a sponsor
Pls treat as urgent
Thank you
Pls help! I need clarification

CanadianNurse:
anyone is okay! The vo cannot refuse you based on address! At least I've not seen a gcms that state refused based on wrong address.... Make use of anyone but be sure to be consistent... If you have started using Anifowoshe use it till the end on all

Sugaro:


@Austinpee4 , as regards the address, how about this
VO,
high commission of Canada,
4 Anifowoshe,
VI Lagos

Austinpee4:

Your SOP should be an informal letter requiring no address but a title of 'statement of purpose/intent' while your sponsor's letter can be addressed formally to

'The visa officer,
Immigration, Refugee and citizenship canada,
Canadian embassy,
Accra, Ghana or Lagos,Nigeria'

You will submit your complete application at the canadian visa office either in Lagos or Abuja.



To your second question, a VO will have no business in anything that does not involve your study permit application. Your family issue won't be their concern. Unless a family member or members want to go with you to canada then things must add up otherwise, go ahead with your application and worry less about the VO's thought towards your child. It won't even cross their mind. Your application will be the main focus.

honeyscottage:

Please CBN can not reject your form A through your sponsor acct, your bank did that and there must be reason for that.

1) Are you transferring the fund to your school or another acct?
2) Does your acceptance letter state your tution and other fees?
3). Your sponsor act, is it up to 3 mths in operation?

You can PM me for more clarification.

mcobex:
Frown ke! I think u are good to go bro

Austinpee4:

I doubt so much CBN will issue a letter to an individual. So just attach the circular as it is.

Personally, i feel that circular from CBN does not completely address the embassy's concerns. It will only help to understand the measures taken by the apex bank to make forex available for tuition and other invisible transactions.(They probably would have seen that circular since they are aware of the new forex policy).

From that email from the embassy, the written assurances has to be specific about the applicant's possibility of transferring the funds to canada. This is where the applicant's bank will come in and clear the doubts with assurances and vehemence.

That circular from CBN should be helpful but the commercial bank letter assuring the embassy of transfering funds will most appropraitely address this growing concern. I strongly believe so.

chimah3:
Please medical students in the house...


I have a friend who studied anatomy and wants to to further but she doesn't want to study medicine and surgery (yet at least).

She is putting in for public health...Please is there any program consistency in this??

Or what other Masters program can one suggest for an anatomy graduate. Apart from human anatomy and cell biology of course. Thanks.

mcobex:
