Xclusiveman:
Good job so far. As rightly said, your funding source is a major determinant of the additional documents you need. Looks like your sponsoring yourself, so let me break it down for you.
If you're sponsoring yourself and employed, some additional docs include:
- Employment letter
- Pay slips
- If possible, get a letter of promotional offer to prove that you'd be promoted when you're done and back in Nigeria
- Letter of study leave
- etc

Self-sponsor and self-employed or own a business:
- CAC doc
- Business Bank statement
- Some transaction receipts of service offered to clients
- Website if you have one
- Payroll, if you have employees
- etc
- In your SOP, discuss the potential impact of the course on your business.

I applied for my study permit as a self-sponsored and business owner. The main idea is to think of what the visa officer would want to see to clear all doubts about your source of funds.
It is more important to show that your first-year expenses are covered and if this were last year, I would have advised you to forget the second year. However, given the recent happenings and policy modifications, I would agree that you should get a co-sponsor or something to prove that you can cover second-year expenses.
That's all and your SOP must also be very detailed. Leave nothing to chance and follow up with prayers.

please was it a year programe?
was it just business documents you provided?
when filling work experience, what did you provide?

i want to apply this month end as a self sponsored business person.

please throw more light on the process, thank you

Gabriel2005:

Pls when did he or she apply ??

October 23rd

kweje:


Yes. Form A. But it depends on the time frame you have to make the payments.

Some banks will even tell you its a no no. Some banks take longer than others. Some tell you 3 months, some tell you 8weeks. It varies.

I used Stanbic in November to pay my ward’s fees. Less than a month processing. I think the branch you select to use kind of matters also(not too sure shay )

If your timeline is short, then black market is the way to go.

Pls what documents did they request and which Stanbic bank branch did you use?

What are you doing? Working? How long? When did you finish school?
Your brother what does he do that you want to build his acct?

I am working as an ant with an NGO. My brother owns a tech consulting company. He is okay but his income is not so heavy to comfortably sponsor me without building his .

If I want to switch my Designated Learning Institution (DLI) after arriving in Canada, do I have to apply for a new study permit?

I'm referring to my intended level of study as requested on the imm294 form.

Ohk. Hope you are Been paid at your place of work and have your payslips and salary acct ready.

Now the challenge should be how your sis moves the funds to your brother's acct to reflect its his money earned from proceeds of his business before he disburses the initial tuition deposit to the school and your living expenses to you because as your sponsor, he must demonstrate these payments came from him.

Your brother can run his naira acct in a way that the money can be brought in in batches to look like monies earned from his business. He should bring in the total Funds he needs for the POF first. Then the pof guy can take out the naira equivalent of the tuition and your living expenses in just 2 batches to any 3rd party acct. And in your sop, explain that the funds were withdrawn to purchase usd and used for subsequent payment of your tuition deposit and deposit of your living expenses into your acct. As long as these funds withdrawn are spent and they can see the trail of funds and receipts then your good to go.

So having a well packaged SOP is also key along having the funds since the funds are not just available in the acct of the sponsor. I think your brother will be a better choice of sponsor depending on the year of registration of his business and normal inflow and outflow of funds in his acct. Goodluck

No. As long as you are switching inside Canada, simply change dli on the ircc website. But ensure you must have enrolled and actively studying at your first school that gave you the visa.
And you cannot be out of school for more than 5 months. So ensure that when you change dli, your new school must resume within next 4 months.

Please who can help me with legit plug for proof of funds?

Happy new year guys…I applied since October for my application I only paid the initial tuition deposit…I want to pay the rest before the February deadline by the school.
After paying can i update ircc via webform? @Matrixreloaded

No, it does not require you to apply for a new study permit.
However,
1. Ensure that your new institution is a designated learning institution eligible to host international students.
2. You must inform IRCC of the change by updating your information through your IRCC online .
3. If you change your DLI, you should not interrupt your studies, and your study permit should remain valid throughout your stay.
4. Ensure that your new study program aligns with the scope and kind of study permitted by your permission and that you continue to fulfill all requirements of your study permit, such as remaining enrolled full-time.
