Hello Adebamfem If it's naria MasterCard it most likely won't work because dollar has been limited to $20 a month if you use a naria card and the application fee is $235 cad. But what you can do is to open a domiciliary account put dollar inside and then get a prepaid card, you'll be able to use that. Or just get a trusted person who has a prepaid card (domiciliary account) fund the account and use it. NOTE -This is for Gckey portal,I don't know how the new portal works Adebamfem: Please my cards (visa and master card) are not working for Canada application fee, please how can I make the payment from Nigeria. Thanks |

GOOD DAY EVERYONE,
Please I have a question I got my BIL yesterday and I tried to book for my biometrics almost immediately though it was almost midnight, I booked using the email platform, and I filled the webform, once I was done I was only told Successful but I didn't receive any confirmation mail of any sort, I don't know whether I should still try to book again. Or does it take long to send a confirmation mail. |

Thank you so much, I paid a tuition deposit of $1000 but haven paid the rest. Thanks I'll do that gaeul: Some schools don't request for Tuition deposit...My brother and I didn't pay and we got our approvals 2017 and 2022 respectively....
What we did; we got a letter from our school stating Tuition deposit isn't required and students are expected to pay a week after resumption...
Whatever you choose to do, just tick all the right boxes and give a detailed explanation in your SOP..... 1 Like |

Thank you so much nairagrounds: Let me quickly answer your questions based on my experience.
1. You don't need to pay your tuition before your apply. Although, it may boost your proof of funds argument if you do.
2. Of course, you need to detail your financial planning in your statement of purpose. All in all, let your SoP be very compelling that the visa officer can't ignore you.
Above all, commit your application to God’s hands, and have faith. It will end in praise for all of us in Jesus’ name. AMEN.

Thanks alot Bobomaigida:
Dear Teeunz,
What the VO is looking at is the relationship between you and the sponsor, and why the sponsor would be willing to pay for your education, so you have to draft your SOP to address those concerns, put yourself in the shoes of the VO and come up with questions that he or she might have and answer them in your SOP.
All the best. |

Good day every one Please gurus in the house I need your contributions please.
Is there a situation where someone only pays tuition deposit and has sufficient amount in the sponsors account and study permit is issued. Because I see that in some cases there is sufficient money in the account but the VO feels the money will not be available for use. Please I need contributions please because I have paid the tuition deposit of $1000 CAD and sufficient money is in my sponsors account but I am thinking of waiting for my study permit before paying for the school fees, I am confused presently. |

Facts about my SOP (7 pages) • I called it Letter of Explanation (That is what I saw on the IRCC portal). • It was written by me within 3 weeks, with the help of the Almighty God. Contributions were made by my husband, 2 student already in Canada, I also got a contact from Nairaland, already in canada whom I sent it to for review and he shared an SOP (an extract) with me. I added somethings from the extract to my SOP. • I used this format: Introduction, Academic background and Work Experience (BSc. Biochemistry; completed 2008, MBA; completed November, 2021 and 10years work experience), Why I decided to study the course, Career aspiration and Volunteering experience (I added my volunteer experience because I read that it is appreciated), why school of choice, Why Canada, Proof of Means of Financial support (I created 2 tables, one showed expense and the second table showed amount available; Rella; OJC group also affirm this format when I shared with her). I had 2 lump sums: 7.5M from my co-operative savings which was transferred to my account on 04.01.2022 and my husband transferred 5M to me; a day before I submitted my application (I contacted @TheGabby; OJC group who advised that my husband should transfer it and not leave it in his account) • Home ties: Family ties and Economic ties - My husband and Children, my professional membership and responsibility, aged parent (my mum will take care of the children to enable me focus on my studies and not be distracted), prospect of the course I’m going for and increased earning power when I return, Impact on Africa Continental free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
Stages of Anxiety • Medical Update: Feb 3rd IOM, but was not updated until Feb 23rd. This took long compared to the timelines I’ve being seeing (I did not receive mail from IOM after medical, so I contacted them and they sent my result and informed me that it has been forwarded to IRCC). N.B: NO Webform was sent until it was updated. • Passport sent to Abuja: When my passport was delivered by DHL to VFS for stamping on the 28th March, 2022, there was no acknowledgement email, I had to mail them before they sent my tracking number (4 mails was then received within few minutes intervals). Whenever I track it on the VFS site, the same message (application is under process at the IRCC office) is what was displayed for 4days. On the 4th day (31st March, 2022), I sent a mail to VFS Abuja to let me know the true status of the passport sent to them for stamping. Few minutes later, I received a mail from them stating that decision envelope has been dispatched (different message from what is shown when I track it on VFS Portal). About 3 hours later, I received 2 emails that the decision envelope has been received from VFS, Abuja at CVAC, Abuja and has been collected from CVAC, Abuja. (I checked my IRCC portal and Counterfoil just updated; No email received from CIC) • Passport picked by DHL from VFS Abuja on the same day; 31st March, 2022
How I coped with the anxiety • I prayed to God (I’m a Christian) • I surf nairaland for any info, a lot of screenshots to read over and over again • OJC group chats
Note: I decided to do it myself because of the experience I had with a college admission gotten through a popular person/company on Instagram offering a free admission processing (but high exchange rate for application fee). When I got access to the application, he used an unknown person as my next of kin and included unknown number as my next of kin contact. I changed it on the portal and when I complained, he said it doesn’t matter. I was shocked and right there, I made up my mind to secure another admission (University) and apply for the student visa myself which I did with the help of the Almighty God.
It has indeed ended in praises.
To all PPR hopefuls, I wish you all the best and to those keeping all the do-it-yourself platform active, thank you so much. |
