Nigerian man allegedly denied Canada study visa after officials saw N100m as his POF

A Nigerian techie living abroad has recommended against presenting excessive money as proof of wealth, citing a man’s sad experience.

@muvey10 recounted how a man in one of her groups spoke out about being refused a Canadian study visa despite having N100 million in evidence of funding.

In a TikTok video, the technician described visa applications as storytelling and chastised the guy for submitting N100 million as proof of finances for a study visa.

According to her, visa authorities are people who will refuse or approve an application based on possibilities.

She stated that the candidate must explain his or her tale persuasively.

“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 country’s official website, applicants for a Canada study visa must have at least 20,635 CAD (N13.9 million) as evidence of money starting January 1, 2024.
