Hello everyone, today I want to talk about the Canada visa process, specifically the study and tourist visa routes. There are many pathways to Canada, but I’ll focus on these two because they are among the most popular.

One common mistake people make is blaming agents for their visa refusals. The truth is, an agent is not a consular officer, they don’t make the final decision on your application. Their job is to guide you, help you write a strong Statement of Purpose (SOP), and advise you on the necessary documents to improve your chances. However, the information you provide plays a huge role in the outcome.

I’ll be sharing some free tips on how to get your visa approved without relying on an agent, starting with the study visa route.

Study Visa Route
Before applying for a study visa, it's important to fully understand what you’re applying for. Many people make the mistake of applying for a lower-level program than their existing qualifications. For example, if you already have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science but apply for a diploma in Computer Science, this raises red flags. The visa officer may wonder why you’re taking a step backward academically, leading to a refusal. The same applies to those with an ND (National Diploma) or HND (Higher National Diploma) who apply for a diploma in the same field, it’s unlikely to be approved.

Another major mistake is using a fake bank statement or submitting a sponsor’s bank statement without proof of relationship. Some applicants also deposit a large sum of money into their suddenly without a proper explanation, which can be seen as an attempt to deceive the embassy.

Here’s a general guide for your financial proof:

Your starting balance should be at least ₦7 million and above.
Your closing balance should be at least ₦33 million and above.
Ensure proper cash inflow and outflow. A sudden lump sum deposit with no transaction history can be suspicious.
Print a 6-month statement for submission.
Another critical aspect is having the right ing documents. Many people submit falsified birth certificates and other fake documents. This can get your application banned. Use either a hospital birth certificate or a National Population Commission (NPC) certificate to avoid issues.

If you’re unsure about the right documents to submit, you can check globalvisaconference.com
They offer both free and paid services to help strengthen your application.

Tourist Visa Route
For those applying for a tourist visa, the first thing to do is clearly define the purpose of your visit. If you don’t have an invitation from someone in Canada, it’s advisable to for a conference to justify your travel plans. You can find ed conferences on Eventbrite or Global Visa Conference.

Here’s a general guide for your financial proof for a tourist visa:

Your opening balance should be at least ₦1.5 million.
Your closing balance should be at least ₦15 million.
Attending a conference is a more affordable option, but keep in mind that tourist visa approvals can take around six months, whereas study visas are often processed faster.

A lot of people use Eventbrite to for conferences as proof of travel intent. However, Eventbrite is an open platform, meaning anyone can create and list an event. Because of this, visa officers sometimes question the authenticity of Eventbrite conferences.

Some common issues with Eventbrite conferences:
❌ Many events are not recognized internationally.
❌ Some events are created just for visa purposes, making them less credible.
❌ Visa officers may require extra proof that the conference is relevant to your profession or business.

Why Global Visa Conference is a Better Option
Unlike Eventbrite, Global Visa Conference provides verified, well-structured conferences that strengthen visa applications.

✅ Recognized by visa officers – Their conferences are well-documented and ed, increasing approval chances.
✅ Visa-friendly documentation – You get a properly structured conference invitation letter that aligns with embassy expectations.
✅ Personalized guidance – If needed, they help you with additional ing documents to prove your travel intent.

Instead of risking a visa refusal due to an unverified conference, it’s better to use a reputable platform that provides structured, embassy friendly documentation.

Applying for a Canadian visa is not just about filling out forms. It's about making sure everything aligns logically.

Choose the right study program that matches your qualifications.
Provide genuine financial proof with a steady transaction history.
Use a verified conference invitation for a tourist visa to avoid suspicion.
Taking the right approach saves you time, money, and stress. Stay tuned for more insights in the next post!

To be continued..

Without considering the effect of over 13,000 Nigerians who arrived in Canada last year 2024 within eight months to claim asylum now affecting other innocent applicants ,please note that your verified conference, high salary, with robust bank with zero travel experience may not be enough. Previous applicants with the same status have now become asylum seekers. Canada is now looking beyond all the factors you mentioned above because the majority of Nigerians have abused the opportunity.

I’m not in Ukraine anymore, and besides, I don’t recruit students; I only give free tips to people who want to travel. I got my information from here, and I was able to utilize the opportunity to learn more. I’m one of the few people who benefited from the Ukraine war, and I’m a PR holder in Canada. Many people have benefited from the information I shared here on this platform. I met Otowatosin and Victor in during my short stay and many more. Never d with any company. There are a lot of legit conferences you can explore. I’m given my tips based on my own experience.

Oga, please relax. If you have any personal issues, it’s better to solve them privately rather than attacking someone online. The fellow is only giving guidelines or helpful tips, and it's up to anyone to use them. Visa approval is not based on what a person says online; it’s the visa officer who decides who gets issued a visa. Most people online are just giving advice based on the law or their experience, but nobody here including me is a visa officer or ed ircc consultant, so I see no reason to attack anyone and you have been advice many time to avoid visa agent and do ur application urself!

So the work permit you have only allows you to work inside Canada, it's not a n immigration document that allow you enter Canada should you leave Canada today.

To avoid been trapped outside Canada, what you need to do is to apply for multiple entry Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) in case the one you used to enter Canada for your work permit has expired or will likely expire during your return
travel to Canada.

Jeboy(m): 9:36pm On Mar 03
I agree with you to an extent but it is not impossible to get study visa for a course that is lower than the credential you already have. It depends on how you are able to convince the visa officer about your career projection based on your circumstance.

For instance my wife was completing her Masters in IT when she got ission and study permit approval for Software Quality Assurance one year certificate program because she wanted to specialize in Software Quality Assurance and we proved this from her current job with a view to her short, mid and long term goal.

So it is possible but much work is required.

I will appreciate your guidance.

Hi, As a Nigerian(your Nigerian port is in place too): All you need is to buy a ticket. Do be aware that at port of entry, your work permit will be reviewed again ( eg pof, etc, all this questions are 50:50) and hopefully issued.Re-entry is like getting it the first time. So going is not a concern and i will advise that the reason for travelling out of canada is important, makes sense to anyone and all documents and information are intact! Thanks

I live in the UK and have an event coming up in September. I have already gotten the event tickets and want to apply for canada visa in April, but the stories I am hearing about rejection rate is alarming. Because I don't want to waste my time and money. I am worried, I don't want to add visa rejection to my record, lol. I am a content creator, don't work for anyone but myself, the event is a day event for people in my line of work. Surely, I am coming back to the UK after the event. I hope the will issue me the visa?
amila20042001: 2:04pm On Mar 05
Just apply for a visit visa and state your intention to visit your home country. It's gonna be an express approval provided your work permit is still valid.

As a Nigerian, you don't need a visa please! Re-entry into Canada as a temporary resident should be your concern. Border service officers has authority and can cancel your visa and deny entry!

every case is different. give an elaborate explanation of your case and back it up with relevant documents. I got approval in just 10 days.
NB: Anyways, I am not ignorant of Grace and Mercy that followed my case.
