Where are all our MUN people resuming in late August for Fall 2023 academic year let’s connect.

Sammy756565:
Please I need help the photo shows the requirement for NSE from IRCC website about IELTS but this are my scores: Listening 5.5, Reading 5.0, Writing 6.5, Speaking 7.0 and overall band 6.0. So my question is should i still go ahead an apply with this IELTS to see if I would qualify for the NSE or apply without the IELTS through the regular route since I didn’t get up 6.0 in each of the skills

People like suffer oh. Why do you want to use the NSE route?

Use the normal regular route and you’ll get your study permit just on time with less hassle.

Christyiji:
Good evening peeps.

Can one use micro finance bank statement as proof of fund ( Globus or providus) ?

The above named banks are not micro finance banks. They are fully functional Commercial banks. You can use them

ediblesz:
What’s the process of renewing passport in OTTAWA pls? Anyone done it before? What’s the way please?

Heard it’s really rigorous and could take a lot of time.

You can check the website of the Nigerian immigration service; they have instructions on how to renew your passport from abroad- you’ll then choose Ottawa as processing office.

osmoziz:
Hi all, good day ,

I am in a serious dilemma here , I need advise

I have a sponsor who is my direct uncle and I have ties to him which I can explain as he is also a co board member of my family business
the issue now is that he is based in the US and when he sent me his bank statement for the US , I saw that he shaded out the account number on all the pages and I was wondering why , he said it for security reasons.

I don't know if I can still use this , although his name is boldly writing on the bank statement.

Also I know he is working over there but he has refused to send me his proof of income like staff id card and so on, i am even thinking of finding another sponsor to be honest.

Please any advice , would be appreciated.

From all indications, he’s not really interested in standing in for you as a sponsor. If you can get another sponsor, go for that.
Alternatively you can look for study loans.

All the best

Hello
I need someone to help me please.
I applied for Canada study permit and spousal open work permit with my spouse and was refused based on insufficient funds and assets. My Aunt was our sponsor even though I included my bank statement and that of my spouse.
Now we would like to apply again with my step mum as main sponsor and my aunt as co sponsor.
What advice can you give me on how best to go about this.

You can’t be spamming the group as an adult!!!


You’ve asked your question, wait for a response from any volunteer who so wishes to respond. No one owes you a response!!!

Republic001:
Dear Nairaland...am trying to reapply for my Refusal...have used my Dad as sponsor in my last Application and despite the amount of over 42 million in d a account and over 4 million in my both accounts afetr paying 2500 deposit..I was refused .now am trying to reapply and use self sponsor..Can my dad transfer both my full tuition fee and living expenses into my account and use gift deed to back it ..would that work pls

When people say all these “I had over 100Million in account and was still refused” I just laugh.

It’s really not about the amount. The 42M in your dad’s account is very much okay. And especially since it’s your dad, it’s certainly not refusal based on “insufficient evidence to proof relationship between applicant and sponsor”-

What is the likely reason for refusal?
SOURCE OF FUNDS.
I’m sure you didn’t attach enough information on what your dad does (employment) and how he gets his money (including payslips and/or business documents).
- Also, how old are you?
You provided any employment information for yourself? Any personal assets?
- you can also think of doing GIC or paying a full year’s Tuition.

All-in-all, It is not advisable to reapply without getting your GCMS notes.

Shugharland:
Please I need help from anyone that’s experienced, I used an agent to apply for school last year feb and I did biometrics in may 20022 and school was supposed to resume in September and have been calling and asking for when I will go for medical and he started giving stories that Canada immigration as not responded and when I asked him for my login details he refused to hand it over and I had to contact the school and I was told that they didn’t issue the admission letter that was given to me and since then the agent as refused to take my calls and I heated he as ran to UK , I RAISED A WEN FORM CONCERNINGIT AND REQUESTED TO WITHDRAW THE APPLICATION AND I GOT A REPLY THAT I SHOULD USE THE EMAIL I APPIED WITH AND UMAGENT HAS BLOCKED ME , WHAT DO I DO TO GET MY DETAILS BACK

Sad but very high possibility : is very likely that you are on a 5-year ban.

Nonyilla:
Hi Guys,
Please I need advise, I am a newbie here and about starting the whole admission process against January 2024. I graduated with a 2'1. I wanted to apply at Fanshaw and Humber college for a PG program but someone told me that I shouldn't because it is for those with 2'2 and below that I should look for universities to apply to instead.
I don't know how true this is and that's why I came to this platform for advise and help.
I would be grateful if someone can help me clarify things, thanks guys

First of all let me correct an impression. Colleges are not for only people with 2’2 and below. Most people choose colleges because it avails lots of hands-on experience and high technical proficiency, which may be limited at the Universities.
However, colleges are easier to get admissions.

Then for Universities, there’s the taught-based and thesis-route Master’s; so it depends on what you seek.
When you opt for most of the thesis-route programs, you may get funding. Some taught Master’s also offer funding.

Now what is the challenge with universities as opposed to colleges?

The admissions at the University are HIGHLY Competitive.

So if your leg strong, put body.

As for me I’ll advise you look forward to fall 2024.
- work on yourself; get extra research/educational skills
- revamp your CV.
- Work on your SOP
- Research on different programs of interest and entry requirements; reach out to the grad Coordinators.
- Get strong letters of recommendation.
- Have a budget (very important).

All the best,
W

Pls Recommend any fully fund scholarship. That I can use to support my application.

If it were that easy, why wouldn’t everyone be taking advantage of it already

Mamaoseme33:
Good day my people. I don come again o, pls I got an offer letter from Humber college and the tuition is about 9k CAD, my question is. 1. Should I refuse the offer because of the 9k tuition, I have been looking for how to get student loan/ grant
2. Can anyone please help me with very cheap colleges in Canada? Note: my CGPA is 2.94 n IELTS score is 6.0.. I have been searching on my own though....
3. Does anyone know other ways I can get Grant/ student loan in Canada?
4. Is getting grant/ loan a good idea?
5. I'm overwhelmed! I just need help of any sort. Pls help me with information Abeg my people

The CAD $9k at Humber is it for a year? And wym should you refuse the offer because the tuition is 9k? Were you not expecting to pay tuition? 😂😂😂

Check schools that support Mpower. So far that’s the only one I know. But they don’t support colleges- so you’ll need to check universities in Canada that Mpower supports. Then you’ll now deal with how do you get admission to these universities (since we all know how tight and competitive it is to get admission in Canadian Universities)

May God help and strengthen you.

Alternatively, you can be working and saving small small in Nigeria, when you gather small money you can push your education forward.

Just take it one step at a time and know it’s not a do-or-die matter.

Maria96:
uber eats with bicycle or electric bike is there they should go do that one. There are many fast food stores, grocery stores etc looking for staff. What kind of job did you think will be available to students in the first place. Many students came to Canada with borrowed funds and showing proof of funds. Now they are crying. You better endure and wait for better days. After all no one forced you to apply.

My dear oh.
I was talking to someone recently. I advised him to have at least one semester fees and small cash to hold for settling down. He asked me: don’t people work and study anymore?...

That question is best answered through personal experience.

How can a full grown adult wake up from his house, zero or limited plans: leave his house, leave his village and even go as far as leaving his COUNTRY to someone else’s country.

Wsx2:


My brother the truth hurts and you just nailed it. I was expressing the same thing a canada express entry thread and someone who I am sure has never travelled kept saying Bla bla bla
That I am trying to discourage people from coming .

I am in Toronto eglinton area and With what I have seen here in canada I am disappointed. This is not what I expect. There are centinnial college students who has been here for 5 months looking for just common menial jobs and they can’t find any. Anyone that have high hope coming here will regret it. It will take several years to get things together in canada.

That is why it’s advisable that atleast before you leave for Canada, figure out two things:

1. Pay Atleast full first semester tuition fees
2. Have at least CAD $3000 after paying for your flight: this amount should cover like 2Months rent and help you settle, depending on your province, you may need higher.

Some of us have coconut head, we’ll still not hear.
After doing all the demonstrations POF and every other thing and getting approval, Na still you go figure out how you go take survive.
The streets of Canada are not tarred with money.

The four letter word below is important ⬇️⬇️⬇️
PLAN!!!

dtrixna01:

I asked when the right time is to update a new LOA from thesame school after medical request from ircc

You changed your program?
Or start date?

dtrixna01:
Lol none of my questions has been answered so far but I’m glad I got medical request atleast. When I eventually get PPR by God’s Grace, una go Dey ask for timeline and docs submitted 🤦🏽‍♂️

Reiterate your questions!

Horphdomahh:
Well I don’t know maybe he edited or use fake admission letter
But I guess he didn’t submit the new admission letter
Because I defer the admission to may 2023
I got my first admission letter 2022 may..
he submitted the first admission letter
Which I think it can’t work again because I have already defer the admission. I just read it that after 180 days you need to submit the new admission letter..

First things first:
1. Write to Niagara college by Monday to know the current status of your admissions.

I believe you have a copy of the “altered/falsified” LOA which the agent submitted. Attach it in the email to Niagara college.

After that, you’ll know what to do next

Why do people always come to NL after things have gotten sour.
Please let’s all maximize this platform: everything you need is here- just read through the threads. Ask as many questions as possible here, someone would definitely attempt your questions. AT NO COST, no risk.



I wish you the best

nnamdi346:


Bros ( e sure me say na only a guy fit harass me like this), why are you harassing me...Lol

You picked it out of context. You perhaps need to go back to the section where I mentioned that I was asking on behalf of @mimifam since we are in the same situation i.e applied from the u.k. Nothing wrong in asking questions ahead, it does not mean I am pessimistic.

Sorry you felt harassed 😂😂😂... I gotchu mate.
Stay optimistic.

I understand what you’re doing: prepared for the worst but still praying for the best!

nnamdi346:


Yep

Yep, what?

If you’ve not gotten a feedback from IRCC yet, then wait.

But like the others said, it may result to you and your spouse returning to your country of citizenship to apply.

nnamdi346:


But since her biometric has already been captured and is valid for 10 yrs, does she necessarily need to physically return to Nigeria to do the online application?

You’ve not been refused yet, right?

simababe:


Pls should I still download and upload it in the new portal or should I just leave it out. Thanks

No need. You’re good to go.

I prefer prefer new portal because I hate filling all those forms.

NnamdiN:
Does anyone know how to pick up passport from vfs? Dhl doesn't pick up anymore
A friend's passport has been ready for a while and she doesn't know how to go about it.

Urgent please

How did she submit the passport?

She was supposed to use UPS: they allow two way courier- they submit the passport to VFS and pick it back from them.

iwanvisityankee:
Ok, hope they're also fast like DHL

They are quite slow to say the least!!!

iwanvisityankee:
Ok, I will do that.

From the previous post on this thread, I read sending passport to Abuja is faster than Lagos. So this morning I went to DHL office in my area to make inquiry, to my greatest surprise they said they don't offer such service again

Go to UPS

d2nn:
Gurus in the house, come to my rescue!
I submitted my application January 25, did biometrics on the 27th of January 2023.
Up till this very moment I haven’t received any response from IRCC, I’ve sent webform severally but no response.
My dashboard says Eligibity Review has started already, it’s 9 weeks already and no response whatsoever!
Please what else can I do?

Rescue from what exactly Let’s know what to bring

benedictuyi:

A session/year consists of 2 semesters. 17500cad is for a session. So 2 years will be 17500 * 2

Which school does a year consist of 2semesters

Vicostar555:


Thanks

She paid part of my tuition. First semester 9500CAD

And yeah she is my mum but I still thought it would be better for the funds to be with me. Don't you think that adds more weight.

Also, for her bank statements, I already sent in my application. But I provided the bank transfer slips stamped by the bank. What do you think.

It’s okay. I wish you all the very best.

A quick one:
Did you include her employment letter/ pay slips or something that shows a source of her income (CAC, tax, etc) ?

That’ll really show a good source of her funds.

Vicostar555:


The funds were from my mother.she owns a school

But she is sponsoring me from her personal savings. She sent the funds from her account and not company account

She first sent me money for my tuition and provided the bank transfer slip

She then transfer my remaining tuition, living expenses and flight money to my account. She also provided the bank transfer slip

She did a gift deed, wrote letter of sponsorship and an affidavit of support.

I also have my own personal savings from working. Which is not much sha

I then provided my bank statements and payslips.

Please is this enough

In my opinion yeah, your mum didn’t need to do all these transfers to you.

If you ask me, I’ll say- still provide your mum’s bank statement for 3-4Months or covering the time she has been making all those transfers to you.

Also like Bobomaigida suggested, why didn’t she just pay part or full tuition since the funds are available. She’s your mum, she doesn’t need to transfer any money to you. Her bank statements and tuition fee payment would have been just fine.

alowole:
Pls, I have a question? If medical expired after visa has been issued for open work permit, though, it was not expired before the visa was approved. But the person did not come after 4 months of approval, then the medical expired.
Is there need for another medical? Pls I will be await your advice.

Yes get another medicals done before traveling

beecrofty:



Everybody just won give advise lmao.
Did you take your time to know about that school or you just jumped into conclusions?

Tel’mbout unsolicited advice 😉😂😂😂

richard69:

skills50:
Hello, I'm looking for cheap tution fee schools in Canada to apply for PhD in Epidemiology, I have made researches on line but I want you guys here that are more informed to help me out with cheap tution fee schools, also the ones that are fully or partially funded, thanks.

Most PhD, (IF NOT ALL) are fully funded.

There are however no cheap ones. You could say “fairly expensive”.
...
the deal is getting a supervisor. I’m sure you know about that requirement.

All the best

navidennis:
Please I need your advice on this.

My sponsor is my elder sister she's a permanent resident in Canada, how much does she need to have to show as proof of funds, my tuition fee for 1 year is around 15,000CAD, it's a 2 year course, I currently have about 5m in my account.
I am single no kids and I will be going alone, so how much is needed for an individual for at least a year.

Is it required that she gifts me or should the money remain in her account.
I have an option to pay part of my of my first year tuition fee around 7000CAD which would be done by my sister,
At least how much should I have in my account.
Thanks as I await your response

- The 5M you have in your account is okay. Just show the proof of the source of funds.

- She doesn’t need to gift you any money especially since she’s already in Canada. You said she’ll be paying about CAD$7k for your part tuition, that’s a positive sign to show her commitment, if she could pay full 1year tuition that’s even better than gifting you any money.

- she can have as much as she can show proof of source of funds. However, values above CAD$ 50k are recommended.

Your expenses for a year is roughly: 15k(tuition)+ 1,500( Health insurance)+ 10k living expenses/accommodation + 4k round trip flight+ 5k miscellaneous (meal plans, books& stationary, settling allowances including winter jackets)..
TOTAL: about 36k per annum. *2 (roughly 70k)

so let’s say you have 5M, which is about $CAD15k, then she pays 7k part tuition. That’s 22k off.
She’ll need to show like 60-70k. Most importantly show she’s actively working and she’s seeing money.


All the best
