If you want to get a Nigerian Driver License extract, please get it from FRSC In Abuja before coming to Canada (if you can or use a .)

Nigerian Embassy in Ottawa are the most usel*** and incompetent people I can think off at the moment…wicked and terrible. I applied drivers license extract, paid $100 money order, sent my original documents/license. These people lost my license and didn’t or respond. They won’t even reply to emails or answer their phones for months.

I had to apply for a license reissue from naija and applied for Drivers license extract from FRSC naija. Finally i did my G1 yesterday, ed and got waived to proceed for G road test.

Please who has any that can help get a Nigerian Driver's License Extract?

Urgent please....

Can one use an additional 4m as proof of fund after receiving Mpower loan

You should be able to use even lesser. I think it largely depends on how much Mpower you have secured and your needed POF.

For example, if you have to pay tuition of 20kcad for 2 years course, it means you need 40kcad for tuition. Then you will need to show proof of 10kcad per year for 2 years of living expenses which amounts to 20kcad.

In total you need 60kcad + miscellaneous (Maybe 4kcad) = 64,000CAD

That way, you may decide to get Mpower for the most part (Which may include tuition and part of living expenses) and provide your MBS to suffice for the rest of the POF.
It is achievable. I will further advise that you apply early for your visa because Mpower will not disburse funds while you are still awaiting your visa decision.

Good day all. I hope I don’t use this my questions to draw d house back. I will b glad if someone can point me to d page where I can read about my question.
Pls my wife wants to apply for Mpower loans for a 2 years masters in Canada in public health and we wud like to go with her family dats me and our daughter. D loan fee will cover tuition for living expenses…… how visible is it dat we are granted visa for all of us Kus our home tie our pharmacy business which we plan to use…

Your question is not drawing anyone back. Please keep asking all the questions you need to. People who have a bit idea will keep answering.

It is very feasible.

It is doable. Mpower Loan is a recognized proof of financial means by the IRCC but pls do not solely rely on Mpower.
You can go the extra mile by paying a tuition deposit if possible. (The idea is to try to prove you need only the Mpower loan for everything while letting the officers know you still have your own money to be very sure you won't have any financial difficulty)
Using ONLY Mpower makes it look like you have no money and it's risky for them.
Using only your funds (If not extra-sufficient) makes it look like "It's not a reasonable expense" meaning (Why should you spend all your 20m on education and nothing left)
Using only Mpower as POF is by mere chance/ extra Grace.

Your family can go altogether if you craft your SOP well. (and of course by God's Grace)
Tips to consider are stating that your wife and kids need emotional and physical during their studies.
You need to help them settle during the transition period and ascertain their living condition. (I heard someone who said his kids will be changing schools and he needs to give them the push just as he did in their early school days in his home country.)

If you are applying for Visit Visa for yourself, you may include that you will be coming back to your pharmacy business. (That's enough home ties) You've had it for xxxx years and you can't fully entrust it in other hands for too long a period of time so you will be back yyyyyy date to continue.... while you are away, you have put in measures for ability and continuity of your business.
Your business generates TTTTT average amount monthly in pure profit and (A percent) will be used to service your wife's living expenses.

You could add that your wife is an executive in your company, and you have committed to pay her a certain sum monthly even while on the study. It will strengthen POF.

A plus if you have CAC for your business, Tax documents, and Landed properties to strengthen your home ties.

Consider adding pictures together with your aged parents and parents-in-law for home ties.

For your wife, any association, church, mosque, or NGO she belongs to. (Secretary of Lagos Pharmacist... Chairman of LCDA... e.t.c) A letter-headed doc stating that your wife will be away for studies and her duties will be delegated to another member pending her return.

All the best of God in your application!

Congrats! Pls is your IELTS general or academic?

I wrote the Academic IELTS test. It is, however, not required for a study visa.
I think submitting anyone you have is ok but if you are considering writing, go for academic.

PPR Post! What the enemy meant for evvil, God turned it around for my good.

Been busy with assignments because I am for fall resumption and resumed online

Thank you @MikeDimeji for guiding me selflessly through all the steps without complaints. Thank you @Oluwanishore for your input when I was at the crossroad of choosing to use the new or old portal(I used GCkey/Old Portal). Thank you @CharitoJames for the prayers and good wishes. (Rooting for you. Please reapply when you can) @7COLORS your PPR is this week! Everyone waiting for PPR, I I pray God answers you speedingly.
To everyone else who answered my questions and contribute to this thread always, thank you too.

It was quite hard to fight the feeling of doubts and uncertainties. Your "life" could even feel its in a halt.
Guys, if you feel these during your waiting time, keep on praying with your spouse and give thanks everyday.
If you are single, please speak and pray with someone whom your mind is in sync with. Be it siblings, parents, friends or even visit this thread.

Plus: My documents were not perfect as compared to some others on this thread. No two application is the same. Please do not be discouraged by the lots of documents you see on this thread. Submit what you can according to the visa application requirements, and don't "doctor" documents in any form. Not even receipts, invoices or whatever.

Try to meet the minimum requirements then God will help you.

The guru in the house, my application was denied on 8th of June and I applied for gcms immediately and it just arrived today below is an of a copy of it ….. I am self sponsored used a cooperate and personal worth about 30M with power of attorney and valuation certificate of personal property worth over 100M though I only deposited 2k$ school fees…. Please gurus in the house, how do I tackle this ?

I think your POF was good enough.

As regards the concerns of the VO if third-party funds will be available, Did you prove that you were the sole signatory to your corporate ?

How many months statement did you submit? Did you use MBS
Were lump sums explained (If any) ?

Maybe you could get to the root cause by answering these questions and reapply.

CharitoJames:

Are there any consequences of raising webforms more than once?
I intend to raise it now but I am also expecting another document to add later.

Please, I am still confused as to which webform is advisable to raise.

People who have raised webform, kindly advise.

How do I know if to raise a webform for Lagos or Nairobi?

Is there a way to know where my application is being processed?

I submitted an online application here in Nigeria and did my biometrics in Lagos.

Thank you in advance for your replies.

Papapa1234:

I applied here in Nigeria. Biometrics in Lagos too
Can anyone clarify pls...

Please, can someone help me with the link to raise a web form?
I intend to add my ticket itinerary and my spouse's return ticket.

Is it true that web form can be raised just once?

[quote author=Oluwanishore post=113998799][/quote]

Thank you so much.

Can I delete the application and start all over on the GCKey old portal?

Guys please I need help with family application.
Who has applied recently on the new portal?
I want to apply for a VV for my spouse and not SOWP.

To apply for my spouse, I added a new application by clicking the plus sign on the application main page.
Please, Is that the right way?

To my surprise, there's no option of I want to accompany my spouse.
The one closer to my answer is I want to visit my spouse who is an international student. Pls is this right too?

Then, it goes on to ask for the address of the spouse who is an international student. I am also just applying and I have no address in Canada yet. Should I just use my Institution address?

Lastly, where it asks for national Identity, document number, and date of issue, can I use voters card or international port instead of NIN because the NIN does not have a date of issue.

Thank you in advance for your help.
