Hello Mr Frank and everyone,

Is it the total of my school fees for the entire program that needs to be in my or school fees for one year and one year living expenses

Who is your sponsor?

JustMellow:


Not really necessary, an address just makes it more formal.

In fact the most convenient way of expressing your points clearly to the VO is arranging your writing in sub-headings.

Good luck!

Thanks

Hello Gurus and everyone in the house...i intend applying for winter 2020 session...I will be applying for myself and two kids...one is us citizen....how much do u think i should have in my ...i have paid part of my school fee which is 8k plus.

pls i honestly need help.

I’m assuming you are sponsoring yourself ; What you have in your acct must be more than your Tuition for the whole program + Living expenses for your kids

I don’t think your other kid with USC needs to apply!

Let’s wait for what others have to say

Gurus do i have to add an address while writing an SOP , can i also include headings which describes each paragraphs in the body of the letter?

Thanks

Hello Everyone,

Bad news guyz, you need to know what you are doing before putting in a study permit application to Canada. Even at that, your sucess is not guaranteed.

Thanks for sharing!

Frankrobbn1:


You don't seize to amaze me with those word of yours! I am not giving anyone BP here. What I am telling you is the real fact! Any applicant that applies late towards a resumption date is at risk of been rejected as the applicant is giving IRCC a limited time to process their application.

Confirm the authenticity of this information and I'll provide proof to my claims.

Frankrobbn sir, like how many months before resumption are we talking about here?

I need the gurus help on this...

A friend applied for US visa and was refused, unfortunately, the individual he used as his dad wasn’t his dad, he just used someone else just for his SOA since they share the same surname (He knows better now)

He currently wants to apply for Canadian student visa, but knowing US and canada share Data , kindly advice him accordingly on what he needs to do - He now wants to use his Dads name to show relationship between him and his brother (Sponsor)

Thanks in anticipation of your response

Hello Olalemii,

There are several other ways to prove the legitimacy of the coy other than the tax clearance. The major aim is to prove substantial evidence that reflects the coy's operations and financial dealings recognized by the government. Any other financial documents like the CAC, Purchase and Sales Receipt, Contract Papers, Any government Issued Doc. or Cert. et al.

Good luck!

He has a CAC certificate , i guess that will do

Thanks JustMellow!

Qudkom:

You can submit via webform or just wait for their instructions. Besides it's always better to wait.

In essence are you saying for me to use a Company’s acct i must provide the tax receipt ?

I’m asking cuz a friend wants to use his brothers’s company acct but unfortunately they haven’t been paying tax? Plz Qudkom is there any way around this?

All these infos are on the CIC website...

APPLICATION REFUSED

@ makano frankrobbn justmellow ralfudoh and all other Gurus in the house who understand this note attached below can share.

My study visa application was refused June 28th last two months and I immediately requested for gcms note that is attached in the image.

Timeline
Application submitted - May 30th
Background Check - June 7
Review of Eligibility - June 25th
Final decision - June 28th

On 26th of June I received Biometrics validation correspondence, so I kinda knew what was next.

BASIS OF REFUSAL
Just one reason was stated in the refusal notice which was based on PERSONAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL Status.

Immediately I saw the refusal, I ed the school for a deferment to winter intake which unfortunately was not available, they have just one intake for the 1year fall program. They guaranteed ission but I just have to pay application fee, University of Prince Edward Island. It's was difficult for me getting an ission to different schools applied to because of my GPA of 3.3/5.

Now I am looking forward to securing ission for winter intake which has bin challenging.

Documents/Funds Submitted include - Birth certificate, siblings document, parents documents, letter from Dad (Sponsor), landed property documents, my nysc certificate, British project management academy certificate, CAC documents for Sponsors business, my employment letter and other necessary documents.

Financials
Total funds needed - Tuition and other expenses - $7,800CAD
My closing balance - #5,000, 000
Sponsors closing balance of naira - #10, 000,000with domicilary of $15,000USD

How can this note be addressed. Thank you, further clarifications can be enquired.

NOTE DETAILS

Are these the docs you submitted for the first app or the ones you intend using for the second app?

Good morning my people..

A quick one; is it acceptable to submit an affidavit and letter of sponsorship, that was notarised in the US and then scanned and printed here?

Since the scanned cope is no longer and original copy?

Thanks

Hello Gurus

I’m on the verge of submitting my Application, i would like you guys to help criticise and suggest where necessary..

No travel history, No study Gap

Bsc Electronic and Computer engineering, Got itted into Meng Electrical and Computer Engineering, NYSC was completed June 2019, I’m 23


Finance

Going to Uwindsor in Jan,2020 and my Tuition is 27,500 CAD. My Uncle in the US is my sponsor, I identified he has paid my Confirmation deposit of 4000 CAD and He also transferred living expenses of 10000 CAD to my Dom acct. In my letter of introduction of sponsor I highlighted he would be ing me with 4 million Naira every year for my Tuition and Living expenses (it’s a 16 months program tho) . His acct shows balance of 20m + , nolump sum


Do you guys think i can go ahead with this ?

Hello guys

I might be having an issue, I discussed the latest development with my uncle and he doesn’t seem to be able to handle that amount for now, he is suggesting if his wife can also be a co sponsor ..

If yes, would they share the same affidavit and letter of sponsorship?

Thanks

benque:
How far bro, same course at uwin for winter next year. Sponsor needs to state like 5m a year just to be sure. And bro the fees have been reviewed, it's now 30k.

Hey bro will pm you

Obehi44:

Its best he increase it if he can. But try to let him mention it in the transfer. "School fees" or "Canada tuition fees"
The reason for this is so that it will show or reflect in both of your SOA. It helps.
BTW you are missing very important that you havent mention yet. HOME TIES.
Please do well to work on that.
For me: Purpose of visit ✔
Finance (if your uncle pay that as said) ✔
Get a personal asset if you can it will also help.
I wish you well.

Thanks

Bro,

When did you apply to university of windsor. Also applied, still expecting a positive from them

Applied May 1 got an offer 27th June

mcobex:
Sorry bro, I don't attend to DMs for now, but feel free to ask your questions here and I will do my best to answer them. Also others can contribute and learn at the same time

Okay bro...

What i wanted to say was, will increase the 4m to 8m for my tuition since he has sent the money for my living expenses..

mcobex:
I don't think you understand my point, your program is for 16 months only and your tuition fee alone is around #7.6 million (I want to believe for the first year/9 months). The #4million he is committing towards your tuition fee isn't enough to cover it that's why I asked who will pay the balance of around #3.6 mill? Your uncle has covered your living expenses already by paying the required $10,000 into your , now he needs to also cover the entire tuition fee of #7.6mil , the #4mil is way off the total tuition fee. Hope you g t what I am saying now?
Let him commit more fund(additional #3.6mil) towards your tuition fee(since he is your only sponsor )
NB: The deficit might not be up to #3.6mil for the first year, but you have to fix that. Work on your funds and make sure it balances

Bro i sent you a dm

Frankrobbn1:


I think your profile is perfect! However, considering that you're using a third party Sponsorship (uncle) as primary proof of funds, you will have to establish strong proof of relationship with him before putting in your application for a study permit. Documents like, mother's attestation of birth showing that she once shared the same family name before she got married to your father, your uncle's US international port bio data page and tax documents, a well detailed and analyzed family tree in your SOP showing her your uncle and mother is related right from their immediate parents down to your generation. It would also help if you can include evidence of past or history of ongoing financial from uncle, which can be proof of undergraduate tuition receipts, or bank transfers. Furthermore, uncle should clearly state in his letter of Sponsorship the reason for sponsoring your Canadian education, what he stands to gain as a result of this Sponsorship and must certify the visa officer that sponsoring your education abroad won't pose to be a burden to his family, business or personal welfare. Documents evidencing his income like employment letters/business documents should be suffice. Lastly, uncle should increase his annual commitment, as the stated 4M is not adequate enough to cover for your subsequent year of study bearing in mind that living expenses is 10KCAD.

I wish you the very best

@Frankrobbn1 your comment means a lot to me I really appreciate ...

Well, He is my paternal uncle, his reason for sponsoring me was because; "I have been a responsible and serious minded individual and it would be something of joy to him to see me excel". His children are all above 18 so his wife is his only dependent

The only ish here is he hasn’t sponsored me prior to this moment i hope that won’t pose any issue, lastly will 8m suffice since he has paid my living expenses already


Thanks in anticipation of your Comment �

I

mcobex:
I might be wrong, but I think the math doesn't add up. He is your sole sponsor and he is committing only #4mil towards your study? Lets do the calculation:
Tuition fee - $27,500 = #7.6mil(at the rate #274/CAD)
Living expenses - $10,000 = #2.8mil
He paid #2.8($10,00) into your which will cover for your living expenses
He promised to pay #4mill(towards your tuition)
So, after deduction and everything you will have a deficit of around #3.6mil to pay towards your
tuition, who is going to pay that? Unless you have your own fund or your uncle is willing to pay the full tuition of around #7.6mil then you will have issue with fund

He’ll paying 4 m every year till the end of my program, how do you think i can show he’ll pay the full tuition tho?


Thanks for your comment

Qudkom:

An extract from one of my posts:

The section for( funds available, room and board and tuition) is one of the most confusing part for Applicants. CIC states that you only need to show figures or proof of funds for the duration of the first year. If you are going for a 2year program you are only required to show proof of funds for the first year (however there is nothing wrong with showing prood beyond the first year).
Therefore;
Tuition*- this figure should be the total roundup of your entire tuition fees for the duration of your program. In case you don't have the figure then provide the first year only.

Room&Board*- This should show expense for the first year. The default amount in this category is 10kcad however some province requires more I.e Quebec.

Total funds available for stay in Canada*- first year in consideration. The sum total of tuition, living expenses, books and supply etc. Should be filled here. Most times the school gives you a comprehensive breakdown

Others*- any non tuition fees will be recorded in this category. For example Medical insurance.

Thanks for the detailed response I really really appreciate..

So in my case , I’m to put the whole 27,500 for tuition
