Thanks Soji, you've been superhelpful too. I hope you won't leave after your brother joins you in your FiveEye package thesoj: 1 Like |

If I were you, I'd do either of the following: 1). Fix at least $60kCAD (stating in SOP the money was fixed for my studies and will mature on time) and state 20k as room and board and the balance as others such that that amount covers at least 2years of my stay while still providing 2 savings SOAs (dad/mum and co-sponsor) with maybe 5M each just to show that they'll still survive well either way. OR 2). State $50,000CAD to conveniently cover 2yrs (state this in SOP) and not strain SOA. Feed the savings account some fertiliser and make it go up to about 15M+ and my co-sponsor's maybe about 10M + shares etc. And provide landed documents and assets. Maybe do an evaluation of my dad's landed properties and state how much my kid brother needs yearly for his school. I would also notarize both sponsorship letters (especially the co-sponsor if she's not a parent). You don't need to be depressed. You see testimonies of people who got TRV on their 4th attempt here. We don't pray that it gets to that for you but if they could get it, you can. Funny enough, when I saw your reason for delay I silently sighed "thank God, he'll be able to tackle that clearly with no confusion". Just do your best and leave the rest. This is my 50cent, I hope it helps ![]() Graviton2: 1 Like |

Lmao! You want to start again this night abi! Take time oh deedee0: |

I would advice you to beef it a tad bit higher than 12M since you're going for UG. Also get a more buoyant co-sponsor. Also, as @deedee0 pointed out, having a fixed deposit will work in your favour if your sponsor states that it's solely for your study and it matures in due time. I think the first thing you need to do is to really think about not refiring anytime too soon. A 3rd denial is not what you need. Take your time to make things right. Graviton2: |

I like the way your mind works too. Lol thesoj: |

Undergraduate? TBH, the funds are truly insufficient BUT a good inflow should have helped a bit. How was the inflow? Did the inflow show that within the next 2 or more years your sponsors would still have up to or more than the current balance to continue funding you and to fund your brother who still needs millions to see him through the next few years of his life? The solution is to take time out to beef up both SOAs or look for a better co-sponsor while still beefing up your dad's SOA. Everyone is waiting for your success story Graviton2: |

Yes of course, it all depends greatly on the SOA and dependents. Someone can have N50M SOA and still get denied for insufficient funds because he has 20 siblings, 15 of which are dependent on the same sponsor. So yeah, a lot of factors need to be considered before dropping huge figures thesoj: |

Sure thing eetti: |

Lol it's just weird. I know for sure that my father won't drop $52k just like that but I guess it happens like in your case ![]() Of course with a very attractive SOA (which is not the case in his application), it'd probably pass if he's his sponsor's only dependant. They probably know that his aunty won't give him $20k anyway, the SOA gave that away. I think that's the major problem, $52k is too much for the SOAs presented thesoj: |
![]() |
Yeah. That's why IMO inflow can be more relevant than balance. BUT, some VOs are more critical than doing this basic math. What if the sponsor's source of income is negatively affected by external source and he is unable to generate the money? You end up working overtime in Canny or even doing illegal stuff. They need some sort of Insurance that that money is almost available instantly except the inflow is quite exceptional. I think these are some of the mistakes some of us make. I stand to be corrected anyway ahyotomiwa: |

My point exactly (even though we should include our tuition, that should amount to about 35k +/-). While some people may have stated 50k+ and still got TRV, they probably had way better SOAs that's probably even double that amount with little or no other dependents. We need to try to stay away from the temptation of over-doing things. Personally, I think THAT was THE problem. eetti: |

Kindly explain how you arrived at $52k.. I'll assume the actual amount you may need is about $30k for 2yrs. What about the $22k, what is it for? That's a lot of money and puts so much pressure on your SOAs. How many siblings do you have? What position are you in your family? Graviton2: 1 Like |

You can go to IOM without booking, it's only advisable to book, not compulsory. But you have to pay and go with your teller or you won't be attended to. From what I've been hearing lately, IOM is getting fussy about high blood pressure and demanding cardio regularly these days so if you're not confident about that, you might want to try Q-life. I don't know how long it takes them to send medical results though jpepper: 1 Like |

I don't think it's advisable to put the total of the bank statement balances as the funds available for study. If possible, there should still be about 30% of the total funds available for study left in the accounts + good inflow and outflow of cash. No one will use their life savings to sponsor him (at least that's how the VO may see it). thesoj: |

Nobody can answer your question, nobody knows the school you're asking about. Check your school website for their application deadline. There is no general deadline for all schools. If it's not on your school website, email them requesting the information Royat1: 1 Like |

In other news, our mighty Stanbic's CAD rate has gone from N164 to N170. Other banks must have gone way higher by now. If you're just about to pay tuition, accept my condolences. 1 Like |

I understand you but if I were you, I'd let sleeping dogs lie since she's not his daughter or spouse. Think about it well sha. If you decide to go ahead and mention it, your brother will need supernatural ties to Nigeria. Lol best of luck either way thesoj: |

You have no punctuation in your question(s). There are a couple of typos that make it difficult to understand. From what I understand, my answers are as follows; You can process your visa by yourself. This thread will provide you with all the information you need. We're all here to help you if you can phrase your questions correctly. If you are too busy, you can get a reputable agent if you please. About tuition, no, your fees will not reduce because you're going to live with your cousin Royat1: |

I don't think the bolded is necessary. I think it's too much information. Let's see what others think about that. thesoj: |

IMHO, I think it's safer to apply now that she isn't in Canada yet than to apply when he'll have to indicate that his sister is in a uni that is not so far from his. We know that the VOs have all the information but they might not even scrutinise your brother's application to the extent of conducting research on his sister whose address will be stated as Nigeria anyway. Even if her name pops up on their system, as long as the account is bulky enough to cover both of their expenses and still cater to the owner of the account, then go for it. thesoj: |

You don't have a problem because the VO will look out for the steady inflow and outflow so that will work in your favour. He can use his business account as long as he submits proof of ownership showing that he is the sole proprietor of the company. That's what I did but I had a co-sponsor so as @thesoj said, a co-sponsor will do you good and keep you on the safer side obiscolly: 1 Like |

Yeah I get you. I just think it helps to show that the payment of fees reflects in the SOA. It's obviously not necessary but it just might help to further authenticate your sponsor. If the new balance will look "too bad" then by all means go ahead with the old SOA. My SOA was over 3 weeks old when I applied Inkblood: |

I used GTB, they sent it at about N170 though. Try Diamond, just tell them you want to do a wire transfer olawale005: |

It's okay to use the SOA like that but isn't it better to print a new one that will show that your school fees was from that same account. It won't really cost you anything Inkblood: |
