Hello, i am married but my husband is not financially capable of taking care of my tuition and expenses. My father has deposited 8 million naira into my account to sponsor my studies my question is, is it a red flag that my father is sponsoring my studies instead of my husband?
i hold a post gradute certificate of education. And im married with two kids. However my husband does not reside in Nigeria. He is in the UAE.
my total fee per year is 15700CAD and he was able to pay the first semester fee and accomodation totalling 11k CAD
My dad saves with a credit union and i hear credit union statements are not accepted. I am confused if i must use my father affidavit of support, or an aunty of mine who is willing.
Dear LarryKerry,
Thank you for reaching out to us on this thread.
@Simba112 has clarified some things, I may also chip in some info as well to reinforce some of the things he said.
1.You have a lot of red flags, if you are yet to submit your apllication, I will encourage you to hold on until you sort these things out.
2. Please go to page 155 of this thread and read through the self assessment post, it will really help you.
3. Your purpose- Your purpose is clear. A masters in Education is good since you have been teaching for the past 4 years. However, given your humble income as a teacher, you will need to justify why you would make such an investment if the prospects are not so promising upon your return to Nigeria.
4. POF- This is where your major problems start. I have said it before, it's not the amount that is your account that matters, but its source. You will need to convince the VO where you got the funds from. Your Dad should write a letter of sponsorship, stating his source of funds and why he is keen on making such an investment in your studies, when he could easily have used it to start a business for you both.
5. Intention to return- You need to fix this area as well. Firstly your husband is not in Nigeria. If the VO gets wind of this, your apllication will be refused. Secondly, you plan to leave your children in Nigeria, without you and their father to be there for them. That will sound like child abandonment to the VO, they will refuse the application. On the other hand applying with all your kids could also be seen as intention to migrate.
In summary, your case is complicated, I suggest you find a reputable agent, and seek guidance on how to over come these obstacles.
I wish you the very best.
