Is the US harder than Canada for Ghanaians?
It is different. The US interview is short and oral. Canada is heavier on documents. Neither is a shortcut around weak funds or a programme that does not match the transcript.
United States
Study in the United States from Ghana.
The US remains the destination Ghanaian families name first. It is also the one that punishes a messy file. School choice, aid, SEVIS, and a Cantonments interview have to tell the same story.
Who this route is for
Students with a transcript that can be read by a US admissions office, English that will clear the school’s bar, and a funding plan for at least the first year. Undergraduate applicants coming from WASSCE need time. Master’s applicants need a first degree that explains the next one.
If the only plan is ‘any school that will send an I-20’, the visa interview will hear that. Officers in Accra have heard it all year.
Admissions, then SEVIS
You apply to SEVP-certified schools. After admission, the school issues Form I-20. You pay the I-901 SEVIS fee, complete DS-160, pay the visa application fee, and interview at the US Embassy in Accra. EducationUSA at the embassy offers free advising. We are private counsel, paid by you, for the filing and the rehearsal.
Application seasons are earlier than Ghana’s school calendar feels. For a fall intake, essays and tests should be in motion the previous year.
Money the officer can add up
Sponsor letters, bank paper, and scholarship awards must cover tuition and living costs the I-20 already printed. Last-minute deposits that appear the week of the interview are a classic refusal pattern. We plan the money story when we plan the school list.

Do you only work with partner universities?
No. Partner-only lists are how commission agencies work. We shortlist schools the file can defend.
If the US is the destination, start with the transcript.
Book a consult. Bring results, a budget you can document, and the intake you actually want.
