I have been a silent reader and observer on this platform. I have learnt a lot here and know I have a platform I can ask questions and get good response . I need the assistance on schools in Canada that doesn't insist on tuition fee payment before submitting application for study permit. I Will appreciate the response of those who have a good idea on it please.

University of Alberta, University of Calgary, Concordia University..

Concordia university is one of them.

KamsyIvy:
Please can someone help me with schools that doesn’t require IELTS or TOEFL

SugaRush:
Happy New Year Everyone.

Can anyone please confirm if you need to pay your entire school fees before applying for study permit? Can someone just pay acceptance fee or not pay anything at all before applying for study visa?

Hey,
u don't have to pay full tuition or part tuition b4 applying for permit. In fact, cic advices that u don't pay tuition until ur study permit application is approved. Me, I only paid acceptance fee and still got my permit approved but that's not to say u can't pay if u want to but I think it doesn't matter

Please I need to hook up with anyone in Calgary or going to Calgary. Please chat me up. I need accommodation advice

Document Submitted
Apart from the normal compulsory document, i also submitted:
- Proof of financial support: 9.2m, self sponsor, 4 months
- My pension scheme financial contribution for 6 months
- Letter of Introduction from the company i work with stating that i work with them and have worked for certain number of years. The letter didn't state that i was going to school.
- Statement of purpose: I hadn't joined nairaland before i submitted my application. So, my SOP was purely from my own thoughts. It was a 1 and half page SOP. I just stated why i wanted to study in canada and why i wanted to study Electrical and Computer engineering. Last year, I was denied visa because of insufficient fund. This year, i applied to another school with a lower tuition fees. I also stated it in my SOP why i was moving from school A to school B and why i believe that i could get better quality of education in school B. Seriously, I don't believe in exchanging SOP's from one person to another. Before you know it, we are all writing similar thing and grammar to VO's. Remember plagiarism is not tolerated over there. Just sit down and get your unique SOP. Give me the guidline and let me develop it myself. Well, this is purely my idea. i stand to be corrected
- Landed Property: Well, i bought one of those village lands in Abuja without CofO. I just attached the letter of agreement from the village chief.

Document not submitted
- Police report
- Tuition fee receipt. I haven't paid tuition fees yet

Finally, Pray, pray and pray. Then, crown it with thanksgiving. We can't thank Him enough but we can thank Him some more. For me, this is the most important thing.

I hope this helps.
