So sorry about the refusal, good thing it came in quick so they don’t keep wasting time and still refuse.

Did you make tuition deposit?

Thanks.

Yes, paid CAD2643

Hello there,
You can still do construction project management, even project management, it doesn’t really matter.

PLS HELP ANSWER MY QUESTION

Guys pls I have a question and I would really appreciate anyone's input........... I studied architecture in Nigeria and i and finished in 2018 then i came to the UK for my MSc in construction project management and finished earlier this year and I would like to do a post graduate certificate at Algonquin college/Fanshawe college or george brown but my question is can I still do it under CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT or it must be different from what I had done before like BUILDING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY(BIM). PLS, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF THE GURU'S OR ANY ONE CAN ANSWER THIS SO I CAN START MY application as soon as possible.

Congratulations bro. Thank God for you. Shortest timeline I have seen so far in my 2 years presence here.

Your brothers can sponsor you. Be very aware of how you prove your relationships with your brothers with birth certificates and other factors. If they have paid anything in the past for you, you can include that.

Best of luck

KimberleyNl:
Good day everyone, I need advice concerning POF please. I have a balance of 11m in my and I am going for a 2 year course. My Tuition is 17075, and I paid 2500 cad, though my school doesn't require Tuition deposit. Obviously my 11m is not enough for 2 years, I want to ask if my 2 brothers can sponsor me for the second year, or I self sponsored myself and explain how I will pay for the second year fees.
Please kindly respond

So sorry on the refusal.
Who was the sponsor for the application?

padie77:

Going for a year PGD course at Geogian college

Refusal reason-- Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family)

I submitted POF of 20m, Inflow outflow of 40m

What could be wrong?

hayoBams:
Good day everyone, I have some questions regarding form A.
How long does form A take to process now?
If your bank wants to debit the Naira equivalent from your bank and they don’t find the money there, do they mail you to credit your or they just cancel it?
Thank you all.

It takes between 1 week and 90 days depending on the bank, your turnover and your influence.

When I say influence, I mean how far your voice can go. If you know the strategies, you can get it done in 30 - 60 days or less.

Choose UBA, Access, Globus ( if for Bachelor, Masters and Doctorate degrees only), Jaiz, Taj and Heritage.

Some banks would call you to deposit money while some banks won't. It is safe to let your money sit in the .

While it is possible for a Master degree holder to go for a lower qualification, it must be on the basis that the lower qualification is a critical addendum to the prior higher qualifications. In my opinion, you cannot have a MSc Construction Project Management and still wish to go for PGCert Project Management within just a year of completing MSc. This does not show academic progression nor career projection at all.

You could have MSc Maths and go for PGD/PGCert Business because you are a business manager with 2 years work experience after completing your MSc. with an intent to be grounded in Business which is crucial to your professional goal.

You could have MBA and wish to go for PGD/PGCert Data Analytics because you need the knowledge of IT especially Data Science to excel in your current role.

Construction Project Management is way too closely related to Project Management. Also, I will ask if you have a work experience between the span of the time you completed your masters and now.

I hope you understand my point.

This is not to be misconstrued for professional advice. This is just my opinion. It may be totally not correct.

thank you very much, can you please mention banks that won’t call you.

padie77:


Thanks.

Yes, paid CAD2643

Since it’s one year and to show commitment, I think you’d have paid in full.

What’s the total tuition fee?

@gaeul,
Countries and bank branches are not well featured.I don't think it's glitches cos it's been like that for months now.

What are important most is your beneficiary details and your personal details

I hope this helps.

gaeul:
Who else is experiencing glitches with Form A. Countries end in B...see attached

@ Favourme84,
The best at this point is relative.for those who have deep pocket and needs more comfort. You should be looking at airlines like KLM , British, Air ,Qatar and Lufthansa with single stopover.

And then Ethiopian and Egypt air for cheaper tickets.

Ensure you have at least 3hours layover at your POE because of the usual long queue to avoid missing your final flight to your destination.

I hope this helps

Favourme84:


Good evening house,

which airline is the best and shorter to travel to Canada?

hayoBams:
thank you very much, can you please mention banks that won’t call you.

Form A is approved at two levels: firstly, at branch level; and secondly, at disbursement level.

If your is empty or has insufficient balance, it'll not be approved at branch level at first.

Whether or not you would be called cannot be determined due to intermittent availability of FX except you have a rapport with an insider. Although some will call you naturally without having a rapport, it cannot be guaranteed. There is not enough FX to entertain calling someone: they move on with whoever is ready.

Jaykeh:
Please for consent letter for submission of port, am I supposed to also fill the one that has information about biometrics collection consent?

You no longer need it, you already signed it when you did your biometrics, it was that document they handed to you when you got to VFS

Thomsyne:


Hi,

So sorry about your refusal. There could be a number of factors responsible for this.

- Are you self sponsored or sponsored by immediate family member or third party?
- How many years work experience do you have and did you show proof of income?

-Sponsorer by a third-party through agent
- 3years experience and don't show my proof of income

Long post alert!

Been on this thread for a while and I'm an older applicant. Started trying express entry around 2018 but something was always not aligning, transcript wahala and then low CRS scores. Wanted to try the student route in 2019 but a friend said because of my age, I most probably wouldn't get approved, so I abandoned it. In 2020, same friend advised me to try the student route for my daughter and that's when I came to this thread and it helped me tremendously to package my daughter's application which was approved and I've shared the story here too. So, while I was doing research for my daughter's application here, I'd see older people once in a while with approved applications, I started considering it again, the more I read about approvals for people within my age range, the more encouraged I became, so I took the plunge. Long story short, below is my timeline

Upfront medical - April 2022
Application submitted - 28 June 2022 (new portal used)
Sent a webform in July to ask them to update medicals.
Medicals ed - 20 August 2022
Eligibility review started - 31 October 2022
BVL & PPR - 3 November 2022
PP submitted - 4 November 2022 (Lagos VFS)
PP received - 22 November 2022

Documents submitted
LOA
SOP (3 pages)
port biodata page
MBA transcript
Other professional certificate(s)
Resume
MBS - personal
MBS - business
Bank reference letter stating I'm sole signatory
Coy registration documents
Coy Invoices and PO's
Board resolution letter, confirming my leave from work and that coy was going to fund my studies
Same person affidavit cos name arranged differently on different official documents
Notarized Letter of by spouse - saying that he'd take care of our kids and help oversee my business.
MBS of spouse's coy
IELTS & WES - submitted cos I had it
Old and valid visas and stamped port pages
PCC
Deed of assignment
Birth certificates of my kids
port biodata page of spouse
port biodata page of mum (expired)
Death certificate of father
4 pictures - with spouse, kids and mum



Things that may have helped me:
* I have valid US and Canadian visit visas and just returned from a recent trip to Canada to visit daughter.
* I approached 2 MP's, one responded and said background check was ed but eligibility hadn't started as at September, other MP didn't respond.
* After my return from Canada in September, sent about 5/6 webforms and same amount of emails, sent about once every week, different days of the week. Different story each week but basically asking for a decision to be made on my application.
* Didn't apply with second daughter and husband
* Tuition paid in full
* My coy is funding my studies, so included a board resolution letter approving amount to be spent.

This platform has been great and I can't quantify the wealth of information you can get from here as long as you're patient and willing to research, will share some tips:

If you're following this thread or any other one you're interested in, leave the tab open on your device, that way you can come back and continue from where you stopped, just refresh to load new pages. You won't then miss responses to any questions you've asked or new points/stories that have been shared.
Use the notes app on your phone. If there's any information that has been shared on nairaland or any other platform that you think will be useful to you or someone else, copy it out and paste it in the notes app. This way, that information is easily accessible to you in the future, just use your search tab on the app. I find this is more helpful than screenshots.
Google and YouTube the heck out of everything! NairaLand is great because it gives you the perspective of Nigerians living in Nigeria, who are on the same journey as you but there are other resources you should make use of because it shows you what other nationalities are doing to get their applications approved. Some simple questions can even easily be answered once you use Google & YouTube, believe me you get samples of documents, updates on travel requirements, school recommendations, meaning of abbreviations, literally everything is available there, just type in key words and voila, you're in.

Lastly, thank you to each and everyone that has shared their journey here, thank you to people who've lent a helping hand to total strangers. As someone who is private myself, I know the first instinct might be not to bother to share your story but trust me, it helps in encouraging and hopefully giving people the needed push.
My program starts in January 2023 and once I'm settled in, I "wish" to help people reach out to MP's cos I noticed they hardly respond to people living outside of Canada, I'm hoping it will be possible. This offer will be free and for people whose applications have significantly gone beyond the standard processing time and it will be at my discretion.
Best of luck to everyone!

Big congratulations

Thank you so much!

johnstan:


Big congratulations

Thomsyne, pls is it necessary that a sponsor should transfer the POF the applicant's .

Thomsyne:


Yup, your brothers can definitely sponsor you.
Just make sure you get sponsorship letters from them, make sure their financials do not raise any red flags and you also put your own statement too.

Then explain in detail how payments and financing will be made. If possible, have them both do gift deeds to you.
Wish you all the best.
