Hi everyone,

I'm planning to study a 1-year diploma course at the University of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada. I want to ensure I fully understand all the expenses I need to include in my Proof of Funds for the student visa application.

Aside from tuition fees, what other costs should I for? I'm looking for a breakdown that might include:

- Flight and travel costs

- Living expenses (rent, utilities, etc.)

- Food and groceries

- Textbooks and school supplies

- Any other hidden or unexpected costs I should prepare for

Based on my research, the total estimated cost ranges between CAD $42,813.85 and $44,813.85 for the year. Does this align with current experiences, or are there additional expenses I should consider?

Please, if you've gone through this process or have accurate information, I'd really appreciate a full breakdown of the typical or expected costs for international students in Saskatchewan.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Good afternoon nairalanders, please I have a problem I need help with.

I tried making payments for my sevis fee through first bank transfer from my zenith . I got debited but the payment wasn't confirmed on the First bank website and I didn't get the receipt and deposit reference number even after four hours without refreshing the page.

Now I called the bank and they said the transfer was successful on their side but I couldn't get the receipt still.

I've tried reaching out to first bank but they haven't replied my emails, so I want to know if I should put a complaint with the us embassy or just go to First bank on Monday and make a complaint.

Good afternoon nairalanders, please I've been trying to generate the deposit for payment since yesterday but it's saying

"Something went wrong"

Every single time. Please what can I do?

I've three different browsers(Chrome, Brave and Edge) on my laptop and phone and it says the same thing.

Good evening gurus, please I'm in a situation and I need your advice.

Last year I got itted to study in UR but got my visa application denied. I finished my application at least 4 months before the PAL was to expire. But, the denial happened well after my PAL had expired, so I couldn't reapply.

I called the school to explain my situation and they said they wouldn't be able to issue me a new PAL from the institution ever again. That deferring or starting the ission process again won't be advisable.

So my question is do I need to go to another institution in another province to get a new PAL or I can just find another institution in that province?
