NeverInDoubt:
I just got refusal email this evening. It hurts.

I know it’s easier said than done but don’t let it get you down. Re-fire as soon as you can after u receive your notes. The timeline for second time applications has been speedy. You can still meet up with resumption. What was the reason for the denial?

Hi!
It depends on the duration of your programme. You should be able to acquire enough or acceptable language skills at the end of a two-year programme.

Besides, I think one can decide (if criteria are met) to move to other provinces after PGWP. Dig online to confirm this info, but I think so.

Why not leave your family behind to you later, so you can maximize your chances. Or part of family goes with you. Unless you have stronger home ties.

All the best!
Blessings!

PLS HELP: STUDY QUESTION ABOUT MONTREAL

Please I applied for MENG program in Uni Concordia already. I didn't know it's Quebec where French is official language.
Now I have a serious double mind. I applied to other schools as well. I intend on making this trip with family. And want PGWP and PR
after studies.

WILL I BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE MY POST-STUDY GOALS IN QUEBEC WITHOUT FRENCH LANGUAGE SKILLS ?

Thanks

Mimifam:

Long post!!! (pls shorten post if you want to reply)

Been a silent reader, can’t thank you all enough for your selfless work, it really helped me. I‘m adopting ogidigan’s method because I think dropping a profile is important. I was desperate for peoples profiles to know if their circumstance was similar to mine.

1st time applicant (though I have an EE profile). 30 year old married (separated) female, self sponsored, living and working in the UK & Nigerian nationality. I studied computing in bsc & msc and I build business software so this is a logical progression- I explained this & that I wanted a promotion in my LOE as reason for study.

chithec:

A lot of people got approved using Mpower loan
Mpower loan is recognized

Hello,
About Mpower, let me be specific; Do you know anyone from Nigeria who used them and got a visa approval before stepping foot into Canada?
I heard they give a letter for visa applications but I do not know if this alone would fly at the embassy.

Consider requesting reconsideration, reapplying or seeking leave for judicial review.
Understand why you were refused first and analyze what the way forward for you is. Depending on the circumstances, it varies for different people. Best of luck.

Molajim:

Its easy to tackle
Include the following and reapply asap you will meet up with may intake
You letter of employment, your payslips, your mbs,work id ( as many proof of employment u can give)
Pay your first semester fees, if u can pay for the first academic year
Include sponsors, employment proof as listed above. If it’s business then include CAC every document he has that concerns the biz.
Show the family tree. Add pictures of u and sponsor. If possible show how he has been financially responsible for you in the past.
Add all of his id you can get. And have him send your living expenses to your . (If you can , get a GIC) and show the transaction trail of the money her sent to you.

3) please i need a clear blueprint on how this POF works exactly.

Well. When I submitted my application in August , I showed Pof of 5million in niara and 8000usd in dollar. But in the month of December. I had to transfer all my money in my niara to another bank because of zenith bank wahala. So when my PPR came out this February, I had just 155,000 naira in the . So I feel they work with what you give them.

I don't think it's in all cases. It could be luck.

Did you move the 8000USD too which is a strong back up fund?

From what I've read so far, they may check and you may be lucky, they will not check.

With MBS (my bank statement) they can check easily which is what's in Vogue now instead of printing statement of .

All the best
