Do not try to change institution while in Nigeria. If you try it, you will reapply for visa. When you get to Canada, you can change your mind grin

What about changing program before you land but same same DLI? any idea?

Thank you for your interest in studying in Canada. After careful review of your study permit
application and supporting documentation, I have determined that your application does not meet
the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and
Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). I am refusing your application on the following grounds:
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.
You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can
demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be
accompanied by a new processing fee


How do i address this refusal, house pls advise. Was refused today applied Feb 28th.

what is the difference between 'your application is under active review..' and application is still in process
?

mrkingz:



Same here too; MBA at UCW this summer. Applied Jan 22. NSE submitted March 10. Upfront medical March 10. UFM updated to pass March 15. Sent web form & emails as per exceeded standard processing time, and they replied me with the ''your application is under active review..'' msg.
Thinking of requesting for my GCMS. And if July 5th is going to be realistic for UCW prospectives, then we need a feedback before June 15 if we have to make it in & finish the 14days quarantine before orientation begins.. (my calculation)

This too will end in praise.
So be it!

Please can anybody explain how to enrol GIC?

shupy:
if he's truly committed to sponsoring you, let him pay your tuition fee, and living expenses. Enrol to the GIC investment program. You would still have to meet every other requirement like everybody else. GIC goes a long away in proving you have genuine access to funds. If he's willing to make such commitment, then you know he's serious about truly sponsoring you.

It’s Testimony Time

Guys, I wish to share my success story in order to encourage others who have been delayed. First of all, I thank Mr. Frankrobbn1, Mr. JustMellow, Mr. Lekiboboe, and other contributors for their selfless services here. I also appreciate some people who have been trying to answer questions in the absence of the gurus, but most times your answers are wrong and misleading.

Secondly, I like to thank Mr. Frankrobbn1 again because he made efforts to ensure I get approved this time, after 2 previous attempts. He is truly a guru. From the choice of course, to choosing the University, including review of LOE & IMM forms, with covering all possible refusal technicalities in my LOE. I appreciate your help, Mr. Frankrobbn1, Almighty Allah will bless you.


1st Application - Online (Did it myself)

- Course: Post-Bachelor Certificate in Accounting.
- School: University of Lethbridge, Alberta
- Sponsorship: Self
- Application submitted – October 9, 2019
- Application refused – November 6, 2019
- Refusal reasons: Family ties and Employment situation


2nd Application - Online (Done by a Canadian Immigration Lawyer)

- Course: Post-Bachelor Certificate in Accounting.
- School: University of Lethbridge, Alberta
- Sponsorship: Self
- Application submitted – November 29, 2019
- Application refused – January 28, 2020
- Refusal reasons: Family ties and Purpose of visit
- GCMS Notes: No evidence on file of PA’s acceptance to Master of Accounting as stated (VO made a mistake here and we pointed it out in the new LOE), and the Applicant’s plans of study appear vague and poorly documented.


3rd (Approved) Application - Online (With all NSE documents)

- Course changed to: Master of Management – International Accounting & Finance
- School changed to: University of Windsor, Ontario
- Sponsorship: Self
- Intake: September 2021, but was changed to May 2021 while my application was in progress
- Application submitted – February 10, 2021
- Submission confirmation – February 10, 2021
- Upfront medical approved – February 16, 2021
- Eligibility review started – February 17, 2021
- Ghost update 1 – February 24, 2021
- Ghost update 2 – February 26, 2021
- Ghost update 3 – March 3, 2021 (GCMS shows that LOA was confirmed this date)
- New LOA for May 2021 – March 19, 2021, sent via IRCC & Kenya Webforms March 20
- Follow-up emails – Started March 22, 2021, twice a week to Kenya, later to London, and Beijing.
- Email acknowledgement – Received once only from Kenya on March 22 with application still in process. I realized there are 2 types of acknowledgements: (1) Active review: if you receive this, then your application is not almost finalized yet, (2) In process: this means your application is in advanced stage.
- Ordered GCMS notes (through a colleague in Canada, I think it’s faster this way) – March 31, 2021
- PPR & BVL Received – April 12, 2021
- Passport received by VFS Abuja – April 15, 2021
- Passport stamped and Counterfoil received – April 15, 2021
- UPS picked up passport – April 15, 2021
- LOI received – April 16, 2021
- UPS delivered passport – April 19, 2021
- GCMS received – April 19, 2021
- Application Visa Office: Nairobi Primary & Windsor Secondary, but application was finalized by Lagos. PPR & LOI came from Lagos.


Lessons learnt:
(1) Career progression is very important,
(2) Significance of fund and its accessibility cannot be over emphasized,
(3) Home ties carry heavy weight, especially family/economic/volunteering, etc
(4) Travel history is an added advantage for matured students like me (40+), Lagos VO acknowledged this in the GCMS notes.


Documents Submitted

(1) Client Information (with a table of content)
- Letter of Explanations (7 pages)
- Education certificates & transcripts
- CV
- Employment documents (past & present), including awards & pay stubs for present job
- Statements for liquidated Investments to back up 2 huge lump sums (this is very important)
- My wife’s letter of introduction & support, Marriage certificate, kids’ birth certificates, wife & kids’ NIN documents, wife & kids’ passports & visas, Family & wedding pictures
- Investment document in my wife’s name to show money will be available for the welfare of my family when I am away
- CAC documents for my businesses
- Professional certificates, including copies of Financial Statements I have signed before
- Documents to support volunteering activities, both religion & sports
- My Car document
- Travel history documents, old passports with visa & stamps
- NSE documents


(2) Proof of Fund (with a table of content)
- $4 CAD tuition fee deposit
- 1 year MyBank Statement Certificate
- 1 year regular Bank statement with fund more than my entire tuition fee + LE + Miscellaneous
- Pension RSA Statement with reasonable balance
- Investment letter in my wife’s name
- Documents for Residential Properties with Valuation reports and proof of rental Income

(3) All the 3 IRCC Forms (Well reviewed by Mr. Frank)


Parting notes
(1) Prospective applicants must be patient
(2) Do not disturb IRCC office if your application has not exceeded processing time or your resumption date is not approaching or your tuition payment deadline is not due soon
(3) It seems Airlines from India & Pakistan aren’t allowed to enter Canada now, so IRCC may shift attention to the Applications from Nigeria, please get set for your good news
(4) Endeavour to go the way of NSE
(5) I feel sad when I read negative comments about Nigeria here, please let’s stop it. It will come to haunt you or other Nigerians. Every country has her challenges, please let’s speak well of our country

BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE AWAITING GOOD NEWS

Congrats. I saw my 3rd Ghost update today. Submitted March 2nd with IELTS and MBS

HipheeO:
I really want to thank the gurus and everyone who contributes on this platform and those who keep the platform going. Started from the previous thread, and this is where I got the needed info and direction that I used for the application. Started ffw since August last yr. I didn't respond to questions b4 cuz omo, na when your application pass you go know if you sabi or not o.
Ist Time applicant
Nov 19 - application submitted
Nov 21 - biometrics collection letter
Nov 24 - upfront medical passed
Nov 25 - biometrics done
Dec 15 - eligibility review started (submitted with all NSE docs, guess that's why I didn't get the request)
Jan 5 - the IELTS result i submitted expired
Jan 6 or 7 - 1st ghost update
Jan 12 - 2nd ghost update
Jan 19 - 3rd ghost update
Feb 4- Request letter for MBS, Ircc said the one sent earlier was showing statement not available to be reviewed. Requested and uploaded new MBS same day.
Feb 16- 4th ghost update
Feb 18- woke up to the 5th ghost update
Silence- Started sending web forms and mails from 1st March. Increased frequency of sending web forms and esp mails from 15th March, infact started sending mails everyday at some point. Kept praying and thanking God for an approved application.
March 6- requested for GCMS notes- not gotten it btw.
March 24 - BVL and PPR!!!

-Sponsors- hubby and self. All funds in mutual funds. My cash flow in my acct was consistent tho, not like I had millions sitting in the naira account, but you ll see salary come in.
-No property attached (I didn't have then, I was initially worried about this, but I put it God's hands.
-Attached my letter from work and ID
-Hubby's ID,letter from work,statement of account, sponsorship affidavit and letter
-My car ownership docs
-My pension statement
-Offer letter of a new job upon return
-Volunteer letter showing I currently volunteer at the new job
-BSc certificate and transcript, nysc certificate
-Certificate of courses I had taken in proposed study,which includes 2 LinkedIn courses by the way.
-Then professional membership of proposed study

Program: PGC - Business Analytics
Admission: initially Winter 2021- March start date, then deferred to Spring 2021 - May start date, when visa didn't show on-time
My BSc which I had a 2.1 in, current work and proposed study are not in the same field. But... the proposed study is what I really really want to do. I passionately wrote about it in my LOE, the benefits and job prospects. Showed what I have done to upskill myself in relation to the proposed study, taken courses and volunteering role. The new offer of employment is also in the field of proposed study.
So basically, I think it's about being able to convince the VO, your study should have a logical and feasible end. Infact,I got an MBA admission, but I decided to go with the PGC, because I could speak more to my reasons for pursuing that. I don't think my SOP would have been as solid for the MBA.  Play to your strength, put your best foot forward.Pray, pray and pray.
So I hope this encourages someone.
What God cannot do doesn't exist!!!
It has ended in praise!
