@oreafe
I promised to tag you

Faithyyyyy:
goodevening house ,

i wish everyone a successful new week on this journey .
i have been getting lots of pms and i would like to drop this here for everyone.

Please OWN your study permit application process, sop , everything yourself because no one can sell you better than you can sell yourself. yes get tips and suggestions on what to do but ultimately do what you decide to do you are responsible for the outcome.

i had a lot of conflicting information and contrary advise but i stuck to my guns, paid my fees and started classes , i kept sending them web forms and emails with documents i knew i had uploaded. i sent my medical and it was updated the next day even though i had submitted all two weeks prior, before eligibility review started i sent course enrollment and tuition fees payment to add, next day my eligibility review started. then i sent ielts that i didn’t need to, i was sending them email two times a week monday and thursday. early hours of the morning with title: URGENT ATTENTION .

note that it may not work for everyone oooh. but my application was already 3 weeks and i wanted answers in time to resume fall.

please don’t let anyone discourage you at all. you can do it. i am looking forward to sharing my gcms notes with you all.

documents i submitted


Admission letter from University of Ottawa
medicals upfront
personal and company bank statement since i run my own business
vac documents for my business
cute family photos of me hubby and baby
transcripts and certificates undergraduate
first masters degree transcript (australian uni)
marriage certificate
passport with valid usa and canada visa
payment receipts for hospital and accomodation when i visited last year (had baby via emergency)
very long sop (6 pages with sub headings and sections for each point i wanted to address) use your discretion

i addressed clearly why i want to do a second masters in Canada and also why i have an active express entry profile because of the dual intent rules. i quotes it for them sef i think.

i appreciate all those who keep this thread going and whose words of wisdom helps us. God will surely come through for all those waiting. keep the faith alive

You’re welcome.

Yes you can. It’s called dual intent. A lady who was in the EE pool with a high score recently applied for a study permit and she received an approval for her study permit. If I see her story, I’ll tag you.

Please try to read through the thread from page one to get adequate knowledge about applications. You can learn a thing or two from people’s approvals, rejections and documents submitted.

All the best Ma

oreafe:
thank you so much.

I am looking at those universities right away.
@lekiboboe please help me find cheap schools for masters in communication or international development biko.

i paid just 4200 cad. I didnt know the tuition was that much at the time. TBH

Thank you so much for all these insights, they will be very helpful for the next few steps

Can we pursue express entry and student visa at the same time?

Hmm. I don’t think that could be the problem.

Please wait for gurus in the house to advise you

Tobyy10:
When i submitted it was 14m...current balance is 8.5m

@Osemigho

Please see this

Tobyy10:
Goodday y’all..i received a letter saying my statement of account is fraudulent (Which ais mot true)and was given a period of time to reply to this misrepresentation.. any advice on what to do and go about it?

Hello Tobyy10,

How much was in it when you submitted your application? And how much has been pulled out for their business? What’s the current balance?

Tobyy10:




The statement are for my parents(mum and dad) and yes they got it by themselves; each page was stamped and signed and sum amount have been removed since after i submitted for their personal businesses

Hello oreafe,

With an annual tuition of 17m, the proof of fund you submitted is insufficient.

You are required to show 1 year tuition + at least 10,000 cad for your proof of funds. Let’s assume the over 10,000 cad in your account will be for your living expenses. Your husband pays 17 million for your tuition. He will be left with 3 million. Please note that you should also show 3,000 -4,000 cad for “others” which would take care of transportation and miscellaneous.

Since you have kids, the visa officer would also look out for how your hubby and kids will survive after all your expenses are paid, so the money left with your husband (2 million or less) would be deemed insufficient to care for everything.

I hope you see where I’m coming from.

While you wait for your gcms notes, you can try to build your account up.

Update: after writing all these, I saw you mentioned that you paid fees. How much did you pay? Did you pay 1 year tuition? Did you attach the receipt from your Uni confirming payment?

Did you get a study leave letter?

In your next application, I’ll advice you attach any document that could show that your hubby and kids who will stay behind have adequate resources to live well.

In all, the GCMS notes would make everything clearer. All I have said here are just speculations.

As for cheap schools, you can consider thesis master’s, they’re usually way cheaper with more scholarship options but most require you find a supervisor before application.

For schools with cheap courses in your line check:
Memorial university of Newfoundland
Canadian Mennonite University
Centennial college
Royal roads university
St Mary’s University, Halifax
Carleton University
Simon Fraser University
A google search with the name of course and Canada in front e.g “Master’s in International relations course Canada” will also bring up many options.

You can state the specific course you’re looking at, so people can assist adequately. @lekiboboe is our guru for that

All the best Ma.

oreafe:
Thank you so much guys.

Hello Choc.

I am 33, married with two children and fully employed. I studied history and international relations from a private Uni in Naija. I was going for a 2 years masters but i have a masters in peace studies and conflict resolution from NOUN. I graduated from my masters this year but from my B.A in 2010. we submitted aaallll possible documents and extra. landed properties, intro letters from banks, a senior colleague, and other business and employment documents. I have 10000 us dollars in my dom account and i submitted that statement. my annual tuition is 17m in naira.
my sponsor also submitted his payslip and letter of employment and business registration documents.

Gurus please i need your advise.
Since I am also looking to restrategise, please share ideas on cheapest schools in canada.

I have started the process of getting the GCMS notes. so fingers crossed.

My PR points dont look too great.

Hello Tobyy10,

Is this statement for your personal bank account or for a sponsor?

Did you get it from the bank yourself? Was every page stamped by the bank?

Was there any lump sum deposit in the account?

These questions might help reveal where the problem is from.

This situation must be handled properly and with care, as it could attract a 5 year ban

Tobyy10:
Goodday y’all..i received a letter saying my statement of account is fraudulent (Which ais mot true)and was given a period of time to reply to this misrepresentation.. any advice on what to do and go about it?

Hello,

I stated it was my personal opinion. I believe having a study leave shows support from your employer, shows you have something to come back to, a reason to return back to Nigeria, and a job is a strong home tie. So that improves your chances of overcoming the home tie problem which is common.
In the end, despite all the advice you’ll get here, the final decision on what to do lies in your hands.

Unfortunately, I can’t vet your write up. I’m not an expert in that. I hope other gurus can help with that @frankrobbn1 @justmellow @osemigho and others please.

All the best

kelvine95:


Why will not submitting a leave of absence be a red flag? Also, I graduated just 2018-19, and my PPA retained me. Maybe I will explain that part.

For the connection of my past degree and research they are totally connected, in fact, without it, I wouldn't get full funding. Please find excerpt where I explained my past and current experience below;

"Currently, I am a ______, where I build intelligent and risk mitigating models for
financial credit assessment in Nigeria and Kenya (please see section C). I obtained a Bachelor in Engineering from the
Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, University of Benin where I graduated at the top 5 percent of my
graduating year with a 4.78/5.00 CGPA. I majored in Electronics and Telecommunications with specific interests in Digital
Communications and Control Systems Engineering. All through my undergraduate studies, I consistently achieved
distinction with excellent capacity in scientific research. In my third year, I worked on automatic water level detection and
switching using wire probes, sensors and a microcontroller. In 2018, I was assigned as an Undergraduate Research
Assistant in the Telecommunications Laboratory where I worked on Dynamic Spectrum Access, a way of intelligently
accessing free spectrums by secondary users, using deep learning and software-defined radio. My undergraduate degree
coupled with my experience in automation, machine learning, big data analytics and digital communications made me a
fit for the Applied Intelligent Engineering Systems Research Group (AIES) at Dalhousie University."

Hello Abimbolakay123,

You’re welcome.

I’m female

Don’t forget to order your gcms notes before your reapplication. (I believe this would be your second application, please correct me if I’m wrong)

Also try to read this thread from page one and learn, so your application can be a success.

All the best

Abimbolakay123:


Thank you very much sir i just went through all the analysis

I'm 24 years old and the course i was offered in the school is Financial planning

I have been taken online courses on UI/UX designing it's a tech course on how to design mobile apps

Hello kelvine95

Congratulations on your admission and scholarship.

1) people have been getting responses that took less than 27 weeks. But passport requests for stamping is rare due to the travel restrictions. As at now, only people who got their study permit before March 18 are allowed to enter Canada (there are still other requirements they have to meet)

Please consider the option of discussing this with your supervisor, I do not think people would be able to travel to Canada by January (personal opinion) Most winter (January 2021) courses might be held online.

2) building over 4 months should be fine (my opinion) as long as you have a source of income (payslip, employment letter or business registration documents) if there is any lump/huge sum coming in at once, that has to be explained with a proof of where it came from.

Some people have been asked for updated bank statement (although it’s not so common) but considering you have just 1.3, what if you remove the 500 and you’re asked for an updated bank statement?

3) if you’re submitting employment documents, please submit a study leave letter too. Otherwise it could be a red flag (my personal opinion)

If your previous degree is not related to agriculture, please do well to explain in your sop (statement of purpose) how and why you decided to switch. Please note that just simply stating that you want a change is not enough. State what you have done in the past that’s relevant to the course you’re going for, and how this new course would be an advancement career wise or educational wise.

Please note: going for a course different from your previous studies or your employment area without adequately explaining a reason for the switch could be a reason for rejection.

4) Seems fine to me

5) If you haven’t applied already, I would advise you to read this thread carefully from page one until the end. Learn from other people that have been rejected and accepted, so you’ll know how to package your own application properly. Feel free to ask questions if anything isn’t clear.

All the best

kelvine95:
Good evening everyone. Thanks for the good work here.

I got a fully funded masters in Agriculture at Dalhousie University with research in Intelligent Engineering Systems. Resumption is in January 2021 but processing time is 27 weeks and I am not sure if the prof will eanna defer my funding to spring since my reseach is time based. So, I would love to ask the following questions;
1. Can I get a response faster than the 27 weeks?
2. I have over 1.3m in my acct at the moment, but I built it in a space of 4 months. Though I am getting about 29,100 CAD for first year and 23,1000 for second year from NSERC which covers the tuition which is about 18,500 CAD and reasonably the living expenses. So, hope the fact that I got this money in a space of 4 months won't raise eye brows? Then, can I remove let say 500k from this money after applying for visa? Do they confirm balance of acct at any point during the proccesing?
3. I am presently a data scientist but I don't plan to continue in that path, so I didn't take a leave of absence from my present company. But I am submitting my employment letter, my salary review letter and pension bank statement from PFA. Is this good enough proof of employment?
4. For home times, I am the fact that my mum, whom i am her only child is based in Nigeria, which is true. Also, i don't have relatives both nuclear and extended abroad. Moreso, I submitted the first page of land survey document of my mum's land. Then, aside that, I extensively spoke about the benefit of my research to Nigeria and I plan to add the fact that i was a president of my CDS group (got a plaque during NYSC as country ties that shows patriotism. Please I need your opinions on this.
5. Please any other advice will be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot and God bless.

Google “Canadian web form” it would come up. Choose Nairobi when asked what office is handling your application (that’s if you applied from Nigeria)

FariDk67:
Hello.. please how do I raise a webform to attach a document (tution receipt)and where would I get access to this webform..thank you

Hello,

Sorry to hear about your friend’s rejection.


Please share his profile (age, when did he complete his secondary school? what he applied to study in Canada and the level(is it a bsc or a diploma), any study gap since completion of secondary school)
Please also state all the documents he submitted. Did he submit any land document, business document for his parents? Who was his sponsor? How much was in his sponsor’s account that he submitted? How much is his tuition for a year?

Did he prove his sponsor’s source of income? Eg payslips, letter of employement or business registration documents?

When you share the info, gurus would be able to advise accordingly.

Also the reasons he was given in his refusal letter is generic. To see the specific cause of his rejection, he needs to order your GCMS notes. To do that, he should google “GCMS notes third party sites” and he’ll see several websites you can order it from. It costs between $15-$20 and can take up to 35 days to be ready. Please tell him to order it immediately. From the notes he’ll see the visa officers concerns and he’ll be able to address it before replying to avoid another rejection.

Travel history is a rejection reason that often just goes with the others. It is rare to be rejected solely based on travel history alone

All the best to him.

FariDk67:
Good day everyone.. please my friend was refused today based on grounds that they aren't sure whether he will leave Canada at the end of his studies (in relation to travel reasons)
Second reason they aren't sure he will leave when he is done..based on financial assets..he is really down and I felt I should ask here if there is anything he can do in to rectify it and when applying again..he is an undergraduate and he is just 17years old going on 18

Great email. You can include UMI and application number at the top. Attach the medical request form you got and the e-medical slip. Maybe make the email a bit more concise.

All the best

Eilenora:
This is the email I have been sending all along:

Sent to all 3 addresses last night

Dear Sir/ Madam,

I am ........... with date of birth: ............., Unique Client Identifier (UCI): ,............. and Application number: ................. I trust my email finds you well?

On July 14, 2020, I submitted my application for a study permit. I did an upfront medical examination and attached an e-medical information sheet evidencing same to my application.

On July 24, 2020, I received an email requesting that I undergo a medical examination. In response, I raised a web-form attaching the evidence sent to me by my Panel Physician (Q-life Family Clinic) confirming that my medical report had been forwarded to IRCC since June 25, 2020. I sent a number of follow up correspondence regarding this issue (see table towards the end of this email). In 2 responses from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), I was informed that the document I forwarded to them in respect of my upfront medicals had been received and forwarded to the Nairobi Office where my application was being treated. These responses alongside evidence of upfront medicals have been merged together as a single pdf document and attached to this email for easy reference purposes.

In spite of all of these, the status on my CIC account reads: “We did not receive the results of your required medical exam. Check your medical exam request message below for details”.

I wish to confirm if your good office is indeed in receipt of these documents which were forwarded severally within the 30 days window provided. If so, I humbly request that same be considered as part of my application and for my cic portal to be updated accordingly.

Many thanks for your anticipated resolution to this problem.

Hello,

Sorry to hear about your rejection.

Canadian visa isn’t just about available money. There are many little things that can break or make your application

Please share your profile (your age, marital status, number of kids, current employment, what you studied previously and the level; eg masters, diploma, what you applied to study in Canada and the level, any study or work gap) please also state all the documents you submitted. Did you submit any land document, business document? Did you submit your own bank statement? How much is your tuition for a year? What would be left for your husband and children (if any) after paying your tuition and living expenses?

Since you used a sponsor, did you prove their source of income? Eg payslips, letter of employement or business registration documents?

When you share the info, gurus would be able to advise accordingly.

Also the reasons you were given in your refusal letter is generic. To see the specific cause of your rejection, you need to order your GCMS notes. To do that, just google “GCMS notes sites” and you’ll see several websites you can order it from. It costs between $15-$20 and can take up to 35 days to be ready. Please order it immediately.

oreafe:
Hello all,

I need your experienced views please.

I got admission in the university of Ottawa and applied for student visa. I paid fess and there was almost 20m in my sponsors(husband) account among other properties etc. I just recieved a refusal o.
Refusal was based on financial status and assets, family ties in Nigeria, travel history.

I was in the UK last year, and my husband and two children are with me in Nigeria.

What do you think should be my next course of action? Should I defer the admission and restrategise or go and do PR � I’m confused.

Ideas pleasssseeee!

Hello Eilenora,

Send a well composed email to these 3 email addresses

Hello Sirromey,

Google GCMS notes. Websites will pop up, you can order from anyone you feel most comfortable with. We’re not allowed to post any third party link so I can’t post any.

Meanwhile, you can share his profile(age, course studied previously and level, course applied for in Canada and level eg msc, diploma... , current employment, marital status, number of kids, any work or study gap etc) and the documents he submitted, amount of funds he showed, so gurus can advise pending the arrival of his notes.

All the best

Sirromey:
Good afternoon guys a friend of mine visa application was rejected and the reasons were
1They were not convinced of his home ties
2 They were not convinced that he was financial capable
I have been reading here on how you can get gcms notes to know the exact reason why visa was refused. Please how can he go about getting his own? Thank you guys.

The cousin was an error. You did everything right,let’s wait for the GCMS then

NwanyiOkpa:


my blood brother is my sponsor.

i submitted his business CAC documents

@frankrobbn1

gbadeolu1:
Greetings gurus and angels in the house. Please, help me with suggestions that can make my application good.

Issue 1:
I'm to embark on PhD program, and I got CAD 21k scholarship (my tuition is 7k, so i have 14k for expenses), but my naira account has almost nothing because within 2018 to August 2020, I was in China for my MSc. However, I received a scholarship there in USD and had some cash savings to the tone of #2 million naira.

QUESTION: Will it be a good idea to lodge this N2m into my naira account and explain how the money came about in a LOE, backing it up with my MSc scholarship award letter? I discussed this with a friend before who said since I'm no longer on that scholarship, I should not upload the award letter. How then do I explain where a sudden 2 million came from?

Issue 2:
I am married (for 5 years) and now have a 6-month old child. My wife is self employed (does sales) but with no CAC registration.

QUESTION: How can I show that my wife can support the family at my absence?

Issue 3: Is just a survey plan enough for a landed property that's been developed/built to a level?

Issue 4: Is it possible to use a non-relation as a 3rd-party sponsor? Say a family friend, a politician or public office holder?

I will be glad to hear your informed suggestions. Thank you.

Btw, my SOP is written and I will be glad if can get someone to vet it for me. God bless!

Please it’s a new day, let’s leave the back and forth from yesterday alone and move on. This thread was created for a purpose, we are turning it into something else. Please we are all adults, let’s act it. Haba!

Hello,

Sorry to hear about your refusal.
Funds you’re using as proof should be readily available to you, therefore treasury bill is not enough.

We have seen on this group that using company accounts can complicate applications but if at all you must use it, then your uncle should get a letter stating that he’s a signatory to this company account and he has access to the money.

Also he can transfer your 1 year living expense (at least 10,000 CAD) to your account and state that he has done that in his letter of sponsorship. And you should also attach your bank statement showing the transferred living expense. This will show that you have access to his money.


Attaching the source of fund of your uncle is mandatory. His payslip, employment letter or if he’s a business man then his business registration documents from CAC should be attached.

Lastly, I would advise you to order your GCMS notes, you can order it online and pay between $15-$20 and it can take up to 35 days to be ready. This note will show the specific reason for refusal. The reason you got on your rejection letter is general. With the GCMS notes, the reason for rejection will become clearer. Please order it immediately and make sure you read the visa officers note on it before reapplying, so you can address whatever concern the visa officer has, so as to prevent another rejection. Just google gcms notes and you’ll see several websites you can order it from.

Please delete this picture, take off your UCI number and application number before reuploading.

All the best

Omolayo02:
Good evening everyone

Please I need your help
I submitted my application last week and just 3days after I received a mail that I have been refused due to the fact that they are not satisfied with me leaving canada after my study and also funds ...because my sponsor who is my Uncle gave me a treasury bill of 20m which will mature next year...although I have paid my first term fee
And now my uncle want to add his company account to it
Hope that will be fine

Please help me

Hello,

Are you using a Naira card? Many banks have put the international limit at $100 per month and the visa fee is more than that. That could be the reason why it’s not going through. If you have a dollar account with card, you can try that. Or if you know any bank that has not reduced their limit to $100 then you can try their card.

All the best

Hello NwanyiOkpa,

Your case has been bothering me. I’ve been checking to see if I could see what went wrong. Since your cousin is your sponsor, did you submit his payslips? Or his business registration docs if he’s self-employed? Basically, did you prove his source of funds?

NwanyiOkpa:



first year is $21k CAD. MAsc in oil and gas engineering.

I have ordered GCMS notes.


Since it's just one reason why my application was denied, guess i have to focus on finance for my next app.

what i submitted was about $45k CAD.

Hello NwanyiOkpa,

Sorry to hear about your refusal. I was really expecting a positive response. I hope the next one will be successful.

Have you ordered your gcms?

How much is your tuition for a year? How many years is the course?

NwanyiOkpa:

Hello, I got a final decision today.

• Pursuant to paragraph 220(a) of the IRPA, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient and available financial resources, without working in Canada, to pay the tuition fees for the course or program of studies that you intend to pursue.



I used my elder brother as sponsor. Submitted two of his accounts;

11million and 3Million respectively.

I paid first semester tuition to the school also.

Hello,

As far as I know, no school discriminates based on age.

Please note: if you are a mature student going for bsc, you’ll have to explain to the visa officer with proof what you’ve been doing (must be meaningful) since the completion of your secondary education.

ugolinze123:
Please can somebody kindly help me with a school that admits mature student into its undergraduate programs without a tuition deposit...thanks and God bless

Hello,

I can see 88,000 cad with co-op and 82,000 cad without co-op as the tuition for international students. 15m is way too small

You need to show tuition for 1 year + at least 10,000 cad for living expenses.

rexericx:
Can 15m be enough as proof of funds for a master (MBA) mc master university in Canada?

You quoted the wrong person bro

Hello,

I’ve seen 1 or 2 people who posted that they got responses.

Anamekele:
Please house. Is anyone with paper route who has gotten response recently?

Hello,

I still remember your previous questions. I asked some follow up questions but you did not respond.

No site is closed. If you have your GC username and password, you can login to your account and see how your application is progressing.

Have you given your biometrics? (Finger prints and picture taking)

Is this your first application ever for Canada?

Did you receive any admission letter and did you see it with your eyes?

Are you communicating with this agent properly? Or just saying yes to whatever they tell you? When you asked them for your receipt (if you have asked) what response did they give you?
Let’s start from there, so we can find out if you’re being played.

All the best

Is that possible

Secondly
I paid for school fee through my agent for two weeks now , I haven't receive my receipt yet
What can be the cause ?


Thanks you all

Hello, sorry to hear about your refusal.

Did you submit any document to show your family is well established? Land? House? Business? Property?

An affidavit might help

They also want to know your cousins family composition, I think to see how much responsibilities he has.

Fixed deposit is not the best. I think having the money readily available is better (my personal opinion) or at least try to get a letter that says when the fixed period will end.

Hello, jus to add to what Mr Frank has said.
It’s possible to renew your passport when it is still valid for more than 6 months. I know it can be done in Abuja headquarters, I don’t know about other places. You’ll need to write a letter stating why, and attach copies of all the pages of the passport. Even better if you have a connect working there that can fast track it for you. It can take less than a week. I made this info available incase you decide to renew now.

Disclaimer: I’m not advising you to renew now or not. That decision is up to you. I only made the info available incase you need it. All the best.

In the event that you got passport request earlier enough before November. Quickly renew the passport before submitting your new passport to the VAC.


It will end in praise

Hello,
There’s no rule that money should be held for 6 months.

Please take note: if any huge/lump sum is coming in at any point, you should explain the source with proof (eg property sale, or gift) and attach a proof to avoid rejection.

All the best

Good people and gurus of this forum, thank you all... I have a questions please.

The required fund (Tuition+$10,000 CAD), is it suppose to be held in the account for the whole of 6 months OR it can build up over time within the 6 months but should be there complete before/during application?

Please HELP!!!
