- Thread starter Omofar
- Start date
That is very poor. At least you or your sponsore should have nothing less down 15m naira (56,132.91Canadian Dollar) if you are from Nigeria due to the trust they need a good amount raw cash in your sponsore account that as be kept for more than 4 months in his account . Beforethey can be convince that your really intention is to study and you are fianacialy strong. Though what was require for proof of funds according to there website is to show your a year tution fee $16,090 + your living expenses $10,000 + your flight fee $3000. All total is $29,090 . In your sop you need to demonstrate how you are going to pay the rest tuition fee let them know there somewhere income is coming from which will be enough to take care of your remaing years program and living expenses .
Yes . But don't forget to work on your sop and also convince them that you will return back to your country once you are done with your program ...
Hello
How do I explain gap in academic history. I have not really done anything related to education since September 2018. I got my acceptance letter in February 2019. I am an undergraduate. My parents are the ones paying my school fees, do they need to write a sponsorship letter?
When I pay my school fees, do I need to have only the required living expenses of 10,000?
Thank you

Hello
I am 26years old I have an admission to study Msc. Maths and Statistics with a concentration in Statistics at University of Ottawa.
i have paid half of my tuition fee as at today.
I have been to US (i still have a valid visa), UK and canada.
I actually have a sister who is a PR in canada.
I am a bit concerned because i have some gap years after my BSc.
I graduated in July 2014, but did not do nysc until 2016 (The gap period i went to a culinary school to learn how to make cakes and that kept me busy and provided some income. During nysc i worked at an insurance company but i stopped work there after nysc (april 2017). I continued with my cakes and pastry business up until april 2018 (so another one year gap) when i got my current job. I am currently work at a consulting firm and my work relates to my choice of study. I am just wondering how to properly account for the gap years in my SOP.
Also i am being fully sponsored by my dad's company (he is not the only owner though), i intend on providing the company accounts but do i need to include my parents personal bank statements as well?
Then my living expenses of 10k cad does the money need to be in my own personal account? or i could just also mention that my parents+company will cover all of my expenses.
Also could you give me a rough estimate of an amount that should be in the account to show proof of finances.
I do not own any properties oh (no car, no land
), hope the VO will still be convinced that i plan on returning.
Thanks in advance.

.Hi omofar
Greetings I just received my letter of admission from a college in Canada to study graduate certificate in business and information systems architecture. I applied with my HND in computer science and I graduated in 2011 am 31 years old. My question is that There's instruction in my offer letter to pay a deposit of $2,300 fee before 30day to secure the admission. The graduate certificate program tuition fees for business and information system architecture from September 03, 2019 to April 30, 2021 is $33,268.00. The first semester payment is $8,318.00. So after paying the deposit fee of $2,300 and send the school the payment receipt will I start the study permit application or will i be required to complete the first semester payment before I start with the study permit application.
Thanks
Best Regards

Hey Guys, Please can you share your timeline so that we can establish a framework as to how CIC operates and when we can expect to hear back on our SP applications?

Dear Hear4hearts,
Thank you for visiting this post. Sincere apologies for just responding. I hope its not coming late.
1. I am sorry to hear you had to move back home after almost a decade in the UK. You probably could have tried getting a masters or a PhD to push for 1 one more year so you could get your ILR, well that is water under the bridge now. Based on face value, I do not think you have a good profile to pursue a Bachelors program in Canada. As a matter of fact, you travel history will come into question, and when the VO sees you have lived in the UK for so long, and now you are trying to apply to get into Canada, it will raise a red flag that you may not have an intention to return to your home country, so it does not look good. Based on your age and family, I would not advise you move forward with this approach. I would recommend you or your husband consider the Express Entry route to Canada. Once you get there you can pursue your calling into ministry by going to theological school or college.
2. Well this may not be useful now based on item 1 response. However, it is not a good idea to apply with one's dependents for study permit. You are better off applying for your permit first, when you get it, then apply for the kids. By applying for everyone, you are showing dual intent. Meaning you may like to study and may also like to immigrate to Canada. That is a terrible red-flag, and your visa application could be rejected for such as well.
3. If you or your husband are in your early to mid-30 (max 36/37) and you have work experience of over 3 years within a Canadian NOC code that is either 0,A, or B, I will strongly suggest you pursue the express entry option. N5M a year is not sufficient to support you and 3 kids in Canada. You should expect to be spending around N6-10mm a year in Canada for your annual tuition, your living costs, and that of your kids. If you are under a lot of financial stress, you will find it impossible to cope with your studies. I do not think it is worth it.
I am sorry I do not have news you wanted to here, however, I prefer you have the facts, so yo can take an informed decision on whether the international student route is satisfactory or not.
Let us know how it goes.
All the best.

Hello QwajoFest,
I hope well. Based on the refusal letter. You were on able to substantiate how you would fund your trip, tuition, and living costs while in Canada. It is important that you demonstrate ability to cater for your needs and obligations while in Canada. If you can address this, then you are likely to get a visa if you re-apply.
Let's know how it goes.
All the best.

Dear QwajoFest,
Based on my personal assessment of your situation, you clearly do not have the financial capability to pursue this venture of interest. I would honestly advise that you either get a sponsor who has serious capacity as Evankc as advised, or consider pursuing your undergrad studies in Ghana, work for a few years to gain experience then try apply for a research masters that will pay for your tuition and even pay you stipends for living costs.
I wish you all the best.
Cheers

Hello Moyosoree,
Thank you for visiting this thread. I presume you finished SSCE in June/July of 2018. If that is the case, then you are in a good demographic. If all things are in place you are likely to get your study permit, if it is filed properly. Please answer the following questions
1. Can you parents afford to pay N6-8mm a year for tuition and living costs?
2. Have you ever traveled out of Nigeria before on holiday to UK, Europe or the US?
3. How old are you?
Based on your answers I may be able to assess properly your chances of getting an approval.
All the best.
