I doubt your dad will be allowed to open an with visitors visa.

Thanks Justwise, I was able to open a Monzo for him. However, I doubt if visitors are allowed to open in the uk and also if home office would expect a visitor to leave such an amount in his UK and travel back to Nigeria.

Mindlog:


Your younger brother should open a £ domiciliary in Nigeria and you transfer the funds to it.

Thanks, I was considering that but don't have an idea of what the transfer charges would be Since the money will still be moved back to the uk.

Check with your UK bank for the transfer charges, as the aim is to avoid converting to Naira and a depreciation when converting it back to Pounds.

I'm not sure that you have made a good decision there as your dad is not resident in the UK, domiciliary is what you needed for your dad. Yes HO will question such if used for visa application unless Monzo is available to Nigerians living in Nigeria.

Thank you so much..I do apply for PhD in USA too but I haven't been lucky enough to get a a funded scholarship and most USA application comes with a fee. That makes it add paying application fees.. but I won't stop trying cuz I believe God's ve a plan for me to keep me this far

Have you been reading the US student's thread? You can try and reach out to those who got fully funded and ask how they did it or just make a comment and see who responds.

Is it possible to get a UK student visa when the person has a 2-year ban from a province in Canada (for misrepresentation). Note that visa application was not made in canada, just the provincial suspension

Good day everyone, my school resumes today and my visa is yet to be out... Although I mailed them yesterday and they responded that a decision has been made, that very soon I should get a mail for pick up of my port.. Like I said my school resumed today and I heard resuming late reduces your chances of getting a post study visa... Pls who has an idea about this.

What's the date for late resumption on your CAS

29th September, but lectures begins 3rd October

Yes.
As long as you can prove you are a bonafide student.

Why did Canada ban you?

misrepresentation
It's SINP not Canadian express entry/visa
no biometrics and no visa application yet

Don't stress about that, you will get your port soon and come over as your Uni has already informed you that decision has been made.

Right from your first day in the UK, begin to build a pathway that would increase your chances of being issued skilled worker visa once you are through with studies, not post study work visa.

Good day everyone,

For those newly arriving in the UK, pls help me with my questions:

What other documents are you expected to arrive with, apart from CAS and your port?

Can I book a hotel without paying until I arrive?

How true is it that you can be asked to show your POF at the POE, if true do you show them afresh from your bank app OR you're expected to come with the most recent bank statement of that day??

Is there free WiFi at the airport, if not then how do you connect to the internet to show bank statement since you've not been cleared and stamped in before getting a SIM ??

Just go with all the documents you got toy visa with and ensure fund is available and know your course and school very well. Book atleast 5 days hotel and let them know you want to be on ground to be able to view the house you will be renting
@nlenq

Hello gurus in the house..

Please if I have a loan confirmation letter from Prodigy finance that covers my total tuition fee, can I present it during my visa application alongside with POF for living expenses. How likely is it to get a successful visa application with this?

A candid advice will be appreciated

@dduchess @justwise

dewale1234:

Ok in this case you only declare visa refusal, since you did not apply for any visa then you do not need to declare any in your visa application

Yes you can present it, but whether it will be successful or no is anybody's guess

Thanks a lot .]

Person need over 18m to go to the Uk right now. How are you guys doing it?

.

Thanks @justwise
To add context, a mail was sent to the province for clarification, and this was their response

Dear applicant,



The SINP is a provincial nominee program that provides one possible path to permanent residency in Canada and is istered by the provincial government of Saskatchewan. Visa applications are processed by the government of Canada and are separate. The suspension only applies to SINP services and does not prevent you from submitting an application for a visa or immigration through a federal program.



Sincerely,



Government of Saskatchewan
Program Compliance Branch

That N18m is not even enough for maintenance, not to talk of tuition fees.

No not yet
I will be starting the process soon, the fee is around 15k

dFuture224:





Please, did you get your ission already? If yes, can you please give an average tuition fee for the school. I couldn’t get any info pertaining to 2025 January intake regarding tuition fees.

@dduchess @justwise

Not sure there is anything else you can present.

But there could be increased scrutiny of your POF.
