With his wealth of experience as an immigrant student and later working in the education sector, Kingsley reveals some common mistakes people make that have denied them visa to their country of choice, especially Canada.
Major requirements to study in Canada
He noted that when planning to study in Canada, applicants must consider their age, career, and course needs. CGA, academic requirements, the school they want to study at and also pick courses related to your career if you are a working applicant who wants to further your education. Also, get a good CV.
Dr Kingsley explained further that a major reason people get denied a visa is the issue of sufficient and available or accessible proof of fund, ability to demonstrate intent to return to your country, relevance of programme among others.
As an expert, through his DRK Educonsult, he advised that intending students should have at least a year school fees and a year upkeep money before leaving their home country. And if you don't have enough funds, he said a sponsor would be required of you.
And in the case you don’t have any of the above, the researcher advised that intending students in Canada could apply for a loan, but he noted that the idea should be a last option as it is not always advisable.
Dr Kingsley explains how he became an education and immigration consultant
Kingsley said he started out doing free consultancy for people who want to come and study in Canada so they don’t get into the wrong hands. He later graduated to giving tips to get to Canada easily to study on his social media pages, pro bono.
Three years ago, he went commercial with his ideas and being based there, he claimed he knows about every new policy concerning immigrants, schools and programmes that work and also careers relevant in Canada, province with the best plan and need for every course and most importantly, student to permanent resident details.
