A Nigerian man has been left heartbroken after his Canadian student visa was denied due to presenting excessive proof of funds, precisely N100 million, during the application process.
A Nigerian techie residing abroad took to his social media page to caution fellow Nigerians against making such a move when applying for Canadian study visas.
The advice comes following a disheartening account from a man who, despite possessing a substantial N100 million in his account, was denied a Canadian study visa.
The tech enthusiast, known by the handle @muvey10, took to TikTok to share her insights on the matter.
In the video, she emphasized the importance of creating a persuasive story during the visa application process, likening it to storytelling.
According to @muvey10, visa officials are humans who make decisions based on probabilities, and it is important for applicants to communicate their stories in a convincing manner.
During the video, the techie questioned the wisdom of presenting N100 million as proof of funds for a study visa.
“You have N100 million in your account. The question is, how is that money in your account?,” she quizzed while admonishing people on the dangers of an excess prof of funds
According to the official website of the Canadian government, effective January 1, 2024, applicants for study visas must demonstrate financial capacity by having a minimum of 20,635 CAD (equivalent to N13.9 million).
