Study Permit Challenges for Nigerian Applicants

[Conqueror440]

Hello everyone
I guess there are a lot of backlog as people are experiencing a lot of delays in their applications.

@Omofar
A friend of mine applied for study permit since on 5 Jan 2021 the only update he got on his portal is submission confirmation on 7 Feb 2021 following BL ever since no message from IRCC.
Is the delay a good sign sir?

Good day Omofar

What do you think about getting a deed of gift from your sponsor+LOE when mybankstatement is requested and you’re unable to provide it (as Firstbank is not listed as part of the banks offering that service)??
Thank you

Firstbank now give mybank statement ,was testified by people on nairaland but they said it has to come from their headquarters, please make enquiries!

I want to apply for study permit and work permit for my spouse.


I would like to know if it is advisable we apply together or separately.

If it is advisable to apply together, please how can I write my SOP to convince the VO that we will be leaving Canada after my study

Hello,

I am afraid I am unable to give an accurate response to your query. The truth is that there are so many variables, that no one knows what a delay could mean.

Kind regards.

Hello,

This is quite difficult to answer, for example someone who finished the WAEC 1-2 years again and is less than 18 or 19 years old, the diploma is a decent option, however, imagine someone who finished WAEC 3-6 years ago might be a bt more difficult.

Kind regards.

While I personally feel this sounds like a positive development. go for the interview, be yourself and hope for the best.

Good afternoon Omofar and other members here.
I recall that I had requested for advice in January when I had a visa refusal. I have a degree but applied for a diploma course and got rejected. The GCMS notes state that I have a higher qualification than the diploma and that it doesn't show career progression. Now I have admission for a postgraduate certificate program, it is for one year and I had paid for the tuition deposit of CAD$2,650.
I have received the acceptance letter.
Now, I want to apply for study permit. The total school fees is about CAD$17400. Do you think paying for the first semester tuition will improve my chances? I have sufficient fund and may not need a sponsor since it is for a year.
I will appreciate your candid advice.

Unfortunately paying for your first semester will not improve chances but will be taken into consideration. Having a degree and apply for PG Certificate does not show career progression, and you risk getting another refusal. Why not Masters degree?

The tuition fees for masters program at Windsor University is CAD 9, 375 for one term. The program duration is 4 terms in 16 months. Please if my bank statement balance show CAD 30,000 is it sufficient for paper application?

You need to show proof at least you can pay:have paid one year tuition fre plus $10,000 living expenses for one applicant without accompanying family members.
