Only a Graduate certificate? - Red Flag

College not a university? - Red Flag

Brother as a sponsor for your age & martial status? - Red Flag

Job prospects in your country after getting the certificate? - Questionable**

Family man leaving for 14 months to get just a graduate certificate? - Red Flag

No Travel History at 30 years? - Case Closed.

Goodluck with your application.
It’s up to the Visa Officer not us.

Based on your age, why not consider one of the immigration programs in Canada?

All the best.

Based on the information you have provided, I think there is much hope for you to get your visa. You have the right age and already have an HND, so good for you. It also looks like your mum is in a good financial position to help you, but I will need to probe that a bit further. So here is my advice

1. I will suggest your mum pays at least your first semester school fees, then get the official receipt from the school. This will demonstrate to the visa officer that indeed your mum is serious about sponsoring you and it is not that she just put money in the account like that (or did she?)

2. She needs to demonstrate convincingly what her source of income is. Is she employed or self employed. Let me know and I will advise on other documents she will need to provide.

3. The letter of financial support is very important

4. State of account alone is not sufficient.

If you would like me to sort it out for your professionally, let me know.

I charge a minimal fee.

Cheers

Its not over until its over. Every application is treated differently.

While waiting, find something else to pre-occupy your time with, start a short course in I.T or go and intern somewhere, or do voluntary work.

All the best.

Hi guys...

I got a doctoral admission offer with funding at McGill. I'm supposed to resume in September. Is it too early to start processing study permit? If I am given the permit early, does it mean I'll wait till September before I can travel?

What I have so far for the permit
1. Departmental funding letter of CAD 27,000 per annum
2. Employment letter as lecturer and ID card
3. Admission letter
4. Bank statement of about half a million (I don't think I'll need this since I have funding)
5. Father and mother's employment letters and ID card (Father works in the same university where I work)
6. Transcripts & certificates
7. CIC forms


I intend to apply using the online route. Are there any tips for me?

The funding is not tuition. The total amount I got was 41k. Tuition has already been removed before I arrived at 27k.
