2.) A modern Farm with registration documents ( COC etc and bank ) little above 10m Naira.
3.) Personal but not much savings, majority of the funds are in both company s, Guess i have to start paying myself and wife from the company to build my personal bank statement. Usually I make both family and personal expenses from the real estate bank .
4.) Daughters savings bank with substantial amount for her education about 3m naira
6.) A landed document with C OF O though tly purchased by a friend and I and shared into 1 plots each. ( purchased amount 36m Naira), ed in our both names ,( each of us have a certified true copy of the C of O ) and ed power of attorney.
5.) A lot of other Personal landed documents ( Mostly purchased native lands ) but not ed yet only with power of attorney and survey plan, though I intend to the documents if there is a need for that before my visa application.
6.) Farm is build on 6 plots of Land , although the landed documents is not ed yet also.

4.) School with refund policy should in case of visa refusal ( though i'm very much positive).
5.) What is my chances of getting the visa if i apply along side my wife and daughter as dependent or should i apply alone and later can file for them to me over in Canada if the Visa is granted ?
6.) Do i need my wife's approval if i inform the VO that part of my company funds will be used to sponsor my Masters degree program ?
7.) Do i need to build my personal bank to have the required funds to cover my travel expenses and as well as the tuition fee, maybe after paying the first year tuition fee though depends on school.
8.) Do i need to start paying self salary from my both companies or this is not necessary?
9.) Finally what is my chances of getting the visa with my above STATUS.

Please help a brother, so i can know where and how to start.

Thanks and anticipating your kind assistance.

Hi EngrCGD,

Due to the competitive nature of graduate school (M.SC/PHD) in Canada, don't limit yourself to any top ranking skool, widen your ission horizon so u can av lots of options if a particular skool don't click, at least work towards 10-15 schools for ur Mech. Engineering Masters.

You can also work towards a Full or Partial Funding Thesis-based Masters in Mechanical Engineering.

Note:
All schools in Canada are very ok (at least 85% upward).

Sequel to that,

Visit the link below and google/explore the Masters in Mechanical Engineering Program in Canadian Universities (DLI) as much as you can.
https://www.universitystudy.ca/search-programs/?k=Mechanical+Engineering&program_level_merged=Master%27s+degree&program_language=ENGLISH

then make use of the content below to Start your Masters in Mechanical Engineering ission Process.

Visit the link below for
Guides/contents/videos in the link below on how to apply for M.SC & also possible M.SC Funded (Scholarship) Position in Canada
https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/5818588/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/111#90933556


Your Status & ur number 1-6 shows you have good HomeTies-Famiy Ties- Economic Ties and you established in your home country (Nigeria)

1) Like I said initially, don't limit yourself to any top ranking skool, widen your ission horizon so u can av lots of options if a particular skool don't click, at least work towards 10-15 schools for ur Mech. Engineering Masters

2) Yes, note that most schools will require IELTS/TOEFL, but since you come from an English Speaking Country (Nigeria) you are exempted

3) As regards Low tuition sch. for M.SC, they do mention Memorial University at New Foundland (MUN) here in the forum, u can check the skool out for their Masters in Mech.Engineering,

Also try to consider applying to lots of schools and work towards getting a Full/Partial Funded (Scholarship) thesis-based Masters in Mechanical Engineering

4) Google the skools to know their Refund policy

5) I will advice, for now you should apply alone and go without your Wife & Kids, they serve as your Hometies (i.e Something that can compel u to come back to Nigeria after your studies). It is highly mandatory of you to show that u gonna be coming back to Nigeria after your studies.

9) No one can assure you of ur chances of getting a Visa, it all depends on your due diligence and how you fulfil all righteousness as regards your Canada Study Visa Application.

Also, a Visa Officer do make decisions at their own discretion

You can help yourself by getting some Enlightenment & Education as Regards Canada Study Visa Via the Link below

Then ask questions in the forum on things u ain't clear of

DO AWAIT MORE RESPONSE/INPUTS FROM IN-HOUSE and also Response to your 6-8 questions

Good luck!!!

Toluchenko:


Amen...thanks Frank

Another question pls...

On the IMM form; Room and Board = Living Expense abii??

If yes, then Pls what does the OTHERS box cover ??

ROOM AND BOARD means your Living Expenses and it should be filled as 10,000KCAD. Whilst, OTHERS are your miscellaneous expenses and flight itinerary. I advice prospective applicants to fill the OTHERS with 3KCAD or 4KCAD.


I hope this information helps.

hello bro, my friend said that school (university of Windsor) insisted he pays through CIBC website but he tried and I also tried it as well to make the tuition deposit but it wasn't successful with visa ATM card, he said his school mailed him that the winter semester is gonna be online but my question is that will he allow to travel if studypermit is granted? Cos he said he will be submitting her studypermit Application on Friday before he got this message today

It will be a herculean task paying 4KCAD with Naira Visa/Mastercard due to the monthly dollar $ limit on Nigerian ATM cards. I will advice you generate the payment details through the CIBC, take the details to your commercial bank and pay through FORM A. Again, it's possible to request for an extension from the U of Windsor, so that you can have enough time to complete the transaction.

Please I submitted my student visa since February 22nd 2020, had my biometrics and medical test done which I ed but still haven't gotten an update about my application uptill now, I have made use of the Nairobi web form but still no updates. What do you advise I do?

Your application has exceeded the standard processing times. I will recommend you order for your case notes as soon as possible, so you can have a clearer picture of the current status of your application. Also be advised that most applications have been approved and due to the impact of the COVID-19 the immigration authorities haven't dished out PPR officially. Accordingly, order for your file and return here to share with us the content in your notes.

Hello bruv,

So do you suggest I go ahead, print it and fill it by hand or should I ignore and focus on the other 3 forms that you have mentioned?

SKEPTA:


As the name implies, it is just a list of documents that should be submitted for a study permit application.It is not one the required forms,it is not even a form.

there are 3 forms to submit,for a study permit application which are:

Application for study permit made outside of Canada (IMM1294) (required)

Family Information (IMM5645) (required)

Schedule 1- Application for a temporary Resident Visa made outside Canada (IMM5257) (required).

Hello usmee

As @SKEPTA said previously, you are not required to submit this form. It is just a guidance for you. It is meant to help you see the documents you need to submit.

Best wishes

Hello good day guys....
Can an applicant be refused sp if the applicant have high BP during medicals?

Hello good day guys....

Not necessarily. If your serum creatinine result is normal and they didn't discover other complications from the urinalysis and x-ray, you'll the medicals. However, if the high BP is caused by kidney, liver or heart issues, you'll be asked to go for further tests. Generally, as long as you're healthy, you shouldn't bother about high BP in your medicals. Many people have what's called "white coat hypertension".

I have been asked to submit a new updated bank statement and you can see the photo .
does that mean if I submit a new updated bank statement they well give me visa and also does that mean all my other documents are okay by them expect from the updated bank statement

Hi,
Can we see your profile?
where you issued an AIP?

Hello Maxsbez

No, high BP alone cannot. Are you a known hypertensive patient?

HI
I am assumming since 26th August you havent heard from them and its still indicating that eligibility is ongoing??

I don't think it could on its own except the underlying cause is organ related and would have heavy medical costs to manage beyond a particular threshold (20k CAD?) annually. Also, did you know and disclosed to the doctors/nurses during your medical screening at the physician.

I was flagged with a slightly high BP (142/91) during medicals. I was scared too but I ed my medicals about a month later. In fact, a cardiologist report is listed on my e-medical slip, as one of the exams they did in my case. I am guessing due to age (41) and maybe the slightly elevated BP reading.

Although I am still awaiting SP final decision since submitting application on August 22, I don't think that will count negatively just on its own. I could be wrong though but that's my personal experience.

Cheers!
