Hello, sorry to hear about the refusal.

From what I can see, the total sum of money wasn’t the problem. The lump sum deposit without explanation was. When depositing huge amount close to the date of application, you need to explain where the money came from with proof. Did you sell a property? Was it a gift from a sponsor? Etc

There were also other reasons stated apart from financial. They sort of point to your statement of purpose (SOP) You would need to write a stronger SOP, explaining your study plan and why the course would be beneficial to you

There was also a complain of weak home ties. Do you have siblings? Parents? A business? Land? Any property? These might help tackle this

What did you study previously? What line is your current job? Is any of this related to what you’re going to study in Canada?

If you’re reapplying with your cousin, you will need to show his source of income. If he’s employed then you’ll need his payslips, letter of introduction from employer, proof of his employment. If he’s a business owner, you’ll need his business registration documents.

To show proof you can attach birth certificates of your parents who are related (it will show that your parent and his parents have same parents, as birth certificates usually carry names of parents) For example if your mum and his mum are sisters. Attach your mum’s birth certificate and his mum’s birth certificate. Both of their birth certificate would list out their parents and it would tally (if they’re full siblings from same mum and dad)

All the best

Onweke:
Greetings All,

I submitted my previous application as self sponsor. The application was refused due to financial establishment as seen in GCMS. I submitted a SOA of 7.2 million for a one year course (tuition $8,250). I wanna use my cousin as a co sponsor. He has around 15 million in his account. We bear the same surname. I want to know the document to attach in my second application to show that we are related and he is my cousin.

What's the best way to address these negative note?.

Have you thought of applying from SA?

How much is affordable for you? How old are you?

adeniyi3971:
I’m very confused like this! I want to school in Canada but I need a very affordable school for undergraduate. Please someone help

Okay sir, let’s hope they see it and act on it. Also send an email to Nairobi asides the webform. Someone has shared their email on this platform but I can’t seem to find it.

All the best

wolepopo:

The first web form and attachment I sent on August 30 was acknowledged on September 4 with the message below:

“ Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
We are pleased to confirm the reception of the following document:

8_28_20_25912_PM.pdf
We have forwarded it along with the information you provided to the responsible office for their consideration.

Since your file is located at the Canadian visa office in Nairobi, Kenya, we invite you to also contact them in order to...”

I even sent emails to Nairobi (which weren’t Specifically acknowledged though except for the generic messages). I have sent another carefully worded web form this evening. Thanks

All the best, I hope it will be good news

Day 35!

Hello,
There is something call the the post graduation work permit (pgwp)

You get time after studies to work, the time you get is based on the number of years/months of the program you studied. This applies to certificate course, diploma or masters, as long as they meet the rules for pgwp (the rules are in the links below)

If you study for 8 months to 1 year you’ll get 8 months to 1 year pgwp

If you study for 2-3 years, you’ll get 3 years pgwp

There are some conditions to be met to qualify for pgwp (both you you and the institution you attended) Please read the below links. They have all the info you’re looking for.

You can go with your family if you have enough money and your application is tight enough to be approved.

Please note that if you’re older and you’re going for BSC you’ll have to tell the visa officer what you’ve been doing since your secondary school completion with convincing solid proof.


If you want to further your studies after doing a previous course, you’ll have to apply for another study permit (show funds etc) as soon as you’re completing/shortly before completing the first course because study permits are given for the duration of your program. So that permit most likely would be expiring after the first program. You can do that from within Canada.


All the best

Hi all.. A quick one please...

If one gets admission to study a certificate course in Canada for a year.. Will the person be given an extra year after the study to pursue other courses? Or do masters??

Also.. If one goes to Canada for bsc course.. Can one bring his family over?? Say.. Wife......

Lastly... I would like to confirm if Canada gives 1 year after masters....during which.. One can either get a job.. Or further education...

Thanks for your anticipated response

Yes, she did

Maxsbez:


Did you apply from Nigeria?

Please check that you have been sending it to the right place.

If I were you, I would send it again via web form and email. Include my application number, UCI number etc (this is what I’ll do if I were in your shoes)

Also if you haven’t contacted the clinic, contact them and make sure your result was sent.

wolepopo:



Good evening house, I just checked my daughter’s profile now and it says “Review of medical results Help - Review of medical results
We did not receive the results of your required medical exam. Check your medical exam request message below”
Recall that I mentioned sending the eMedical information sheet via web form on 3 occasions after the test. I made her do the medical exam after receiving the AIP in August 24 but the actual medical request from IRCC came on August 27...I’m kind of worried here...as the 30 days have lapsed. Should I keep sending web forms and emails? Or should I take her for another medical exam? What do you guys think?

No one can answer this. Things have gotten very unpredictable with covid.


Getting a medical request is a good sign though.

If you want to see what’s happening with your application, you can order your gcms notes. Just google gcms notes and you’ll see how to order it. Costs about $15 and can take up to 35 days to be ready. If your application has been approved, you’ll see it there.
But hopefully a positive response would come before the gcms notes.

Sirromey:
Yes. Do you have an idea how long it will take for final verdict.

On your account? Then I was right by saying nothing has to be done

Sirromey:
The result from the medical was successful. I checked today and I saw medical successful

@sirromey

SKEPTA:



He’s meant to upload the emedical slip he got from the clinic via webform

Okay, thanks for the correction.

SKEPTA:



He’s meant to upload the emedical slip he got from the clinic via webform

No further action is required. The clinic would send your result to IRCC. Just keep the paper you got from the clinic properly as your proof.

To learn more about this, please read this
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/medical-exams/requirements-temporary-residents.html

Sirromey:
ICRCC asked for it

Hello. Unfortunately I have no idea. The best person to ask would be your university/institution. Or the ISA(international student advising) of your university, if that’s available.

Nastan:


In this case what should I state on Form IMM1294 as the Tuition fee?

Should it be only the aspect of the fee denoted as Tuition or should it be Tuition fee plus International Differential Fee? Because the fees were stated differently in the fees schedule and offer letter.

Hello Abimbola,

I’ve seen your question previous pages back and some gurus gave their advice. Hopefully you saw all of that.

Your dad can be a sponsor from anywhere, just attach your birth certificate to prove the relationship.

How old are you? Some people have applied without jobs or without putting their statement of account and got visas. But your age matters.

What is this Pgd in? Is it finance related?

Did you order your GCMS note to see the specific reason for your previous rejection? Those issues raised by the visa officer must have been worked on, and you should explain that in your LOE - letter of explanation

He can transfer your living expense to your personal account (and you state it in your sop or he can state it in his sponsorship letter) so they can see you have access to his funds.

I do not think different addresses will be a problem as long as they both bear his name (but this is just my personal opinion) if you’re unsure you can stick to using 1 account.


Meanwhile, please try to get something doing from now even if it’s unpaid. Voluntary, internship, whatever. Even great if it’s finance related.

All the best

Abimbolakay123:
hello dear Nairalanders my name is Abimbola and I was denied a visa to study in Canada late last year I really should not go in details boring ya'll with how I made the application cause I hate to dwell in the past plus after coming on nairaland for the second time I realised that my former application was a total mess judging from the kind of information that have been shared on this wonderful platform. i really wished that I had seen all of this earlier

I have been really scared of another rejection so I kept on deferring my admission to the next semester and now I have another offer letter for January 2021 intake and I decided to re apply for a visa at the Canadian embassy again n

I would like to present my case to this amazing panel of elite minds and I look forward to getting your opinions on whether or not it is a good decision to re apply and what my chances are at getting a visa.


so i graduated from the university 2018 with a 2.2 and a Bachelor's degree in finance, i worked in a tax and audit firm for my nysc through out 2019, after which i worked as a facilities manager in a serviced apartment in lekki, i have not been working since the Covid 19 pandemic hit hard in march.

i have an offer letter form a college in Toronto to study a post graduate diploma (not masters)

i have completed my NYSC

my dad is my sponsor and he resides in south africa where he has a business registered in his name with a business account and a property

he also has a Nigeria bank account he opened early this year and the account is well funded

i have visited him once in south Africa so i have their stamp on my passport

my dad has visa stamps of both Canada and USA on his passport

my personal account is not well funded so i have place all my hopes of getting the visa on my dads document

my questions:



1. can the fact my dad being in south Africa and i in Nigeria hinder him being my sponsor?

2. can the fact that i not having a well funded account or work experience cause a rejection?

3. do you think i shouldn't re apply and just gather more work experience?

4. if i should re apply do you think it's wise for me to merge the Nigeria account he opened with his south African documents which carries different addresses or i should just stick with the south Africa documents alone?

I'll be waiting patiently for a response from ya'll please help provide as much relevant information as you can

Is it an upfront medical exam or did IRCC ask you to do it?

Sirromey:
Good morning everyone. Please after your medical result comes out and its successful what next?

Hello,
I think not all institutions do this (differential fee thing)
They just give a price for domestic students(lower), and a higher price for international students

Nastan:


The differential fee is usually charged/paid only by non-Canadians

Is this your first time applying or is this a reapplication?Have you done your biometrics? (Finger prints and taking of a picture)

Bennysmart:
An agent send my application to the embassy , and since then the embassy haven't send me an mail .

Is this possible ??

Hello, though we’ve seen a lot of refusals, there have been several AIPs (approval in principle) since approvals are being held onto until the lock down is lifted. Please check very well.

Sarang:
Has someone at least been given a study visa?
There are only refusals on this page

If you get approval, please say it here as well

Hello.
What embassy?
Applications are either done online or via paper route through VFS. And I think VFS has been closed for some time now due to covid.
How did this agent apply for you? Online or paper route? And when (date) did the agent apply for you?
What embassy website are you trying to visit?
If an agent applied for you, then the communication will go to the agent (to the best of my knowledge) and then the agent is meant to keep you updated.

Bennysmart:
An agent send my application to the embassy , and since then the embassy haven't send me an mail .

Is this possible ??

Hello, from what I can see, you’re allowed to change but you must inform IRCC via your online account.

Please see this

Uduak55:
Hello house,

I finally got my study permit approved after a year of application thank God, however, I had differed my admission twice already and I'm not eligible to do so again. I am in the process of applying to other schools for the same course in which I was granted a study permit for, please house is that allowed? Can I enter Canada next year with the same permit to a different school or do I have to apply again?

Please help

Hello.
She should order her GCMS notes to see what’s happening. For many people, decisions have been made but haven’t been communicated to them. From the notes you’ll see if any step has been failed and also the visa officer’s final notes (if already available)

To order the notes you can use third party websites, just google GCMS notes and you’ll see how to order it. It can take up to 35 days for it to be ready after ordering it and it costs $12.

All the best.

FariDk67:

sorry she has done herbiometrics but hasnt received medical request yet...

In that case, you should be considering a post graduate diploma related to your previous field of study or work experience.

I think there are some post graduate diplomas that can be gotten with ND (correct me if I’m wrong house)Please wait for more knowledgeable people in the house to give their advice.

Meanwhile, please start doing your research, looking at schools and courses and their requirement for international students. Take your time and do it right, to reduce chances of rejection.

All the best

Hello,
Process admission without a course? I have never heard of such a thing. It’s most likely a scam. What will you tell the visa officer via your SOP (statement of purpose) that you are going to do in Canada?

Age is not a limiting factor. Study/educational gaps are generally not a problem if you can explain what you have been doing since your last studies with proof! Have you attended any school since finishing your waec? What have you been doing since then?

Please do the work of reading and learning about gaining admission and study permit (visa) It’s a good thing you found this thread early. It has loads of information. Please kindly read page by page starting from page one and your knowledge would increase. Don’t just put yourself at the mercy of unqualified agents. Nobody can do for you as much as you can do for yourself. Do your research, read a lot and if anything isn’t clear, please free free to ask questions on the thread.

All the best.

Pace6:
Please gurus in the house, a school processing agent in Canada wants to process admission without a course that when I get there that's when I will choose a course of my choice. Now the question is:

1: What is the chance of getting a visa without a course of study?
2: He wants to apply with just my WAEC of 2006, I am 32y/o will age be a limiting factor to secure visa?

Thanks in advance for your prompt answer.

Hello,

Interviews are not needed for Canada study permit except in very rare cases

Q-life is one of the approved clinics for the medical exam.

Try to follow up with the agents and ask for every single information.

Read this thread from page 1 until the end and it will give you a good knowledge of the application process, maybe you’ll be able to help if something wrong is being done concerning your relative’s application.

All the best

@justwise @other elders in the house please help me out.

A relative is applying to study in Canada via an agency. He is going to study a program in a College, although he's over 18, not a full B.Sc. yet. I have not been privy to the application details from the onset and no one in the family seems to have complete information as regards the process, they simply gave it off to the agency.
He's currently in the Medicals stage, and the agency has asked him to go for Medicals in one hospital within VI. I am a bit skeptical as they aren't really providing information about the full process.

Questions
1. Does Canada not require an interview before granting the student visa?
2. At what point will he be called for the interview?
3. Does Canada Visa allow medicals to be done at just any hospital or is ........Q-Life Family Clinic,
Plot 155a Prince Ade Odedina Street,
off Sinari Daranijo, Victoria Island Annexe,................................ An approved clinic for Canada medical tests.

I'd appreciate if anyone with information about this can help clarify, thanks.

Hello, typing everything in caps is a bit distracting.

(1) Let him defer his admission to a later start date.

(2) Order his GCMS notes immediately to see the specific reason for denial. You can google GCMS notes and you’ll see how to order it, it costs $12. It can take up to 35 days to be ready.

(3) Once he gets the GCMS notes and sees the visa officers comment(s), he can then repackage his documents and letter of explanation and reapply.

All the best

Londonboi7960:
HELLO PLS MY FELLOW GURUS IN THE HOUSE PLS KINDLY HELP ME OUT I NEED A GOOD ADVISE MY GOOD FRIEND ND BROTHER FRM ANOTHER MOTHER APPLIED FOR SP ON THE 19 MAY BIOMETRIC DONE ON 21 SEPTMBER RECIEVE IS REFUSAL LETTER ON THE 24 OF SEPTEMBER BUT HIS ADMISSION IS GOING TO END 2021 PLS WHAT TO DO PLS

Hello, I bet it’s really upsetting . I’ll advice every other person, once some months have gone with no feedback, order your GCMS notes to see what’s going on with your application. From the note you’ll most likely find out if anything has gone wrong, instead of just waiting in limbo.

ayoadefantastic:
Just a rant!

I really think its unfair that you have determined an applicant ineligible since July 6th and just communicating that about 3months later.
Ridiculous!

It has worked for some people. But I honestly don’t know if there’s a fixed rule. Maybe gurus in the house would have an idea. But 2 years ago is a long time, and many things have changed. Some people put in almost no effort and got visas 2-3 years ago. But we can see that it’s getting difficult as the days go by.

How much is her tuition? And what type of scholarship is it?

ayoadefantastic:
Pls what are the best proof of fund one can use. I only used the scholarship I got for mine 2yrs ago. Thought that would suffice but obviously it's not in her case.

I think it is always advisable to include funds even if one has funding/scholarship.

Her SOP should also be worked on. Maybe a guru in the house can help her review it or get a paid professional.

But most importantly please order her GCMS notes right away as it can take up to 35 days to arrive. Google gcms notes and you’ll find how to order it, it costs $12. With this, you’ll be able to see the visa officers comment and work on it before reapplying to prevent another rejection. All the best.

ayoadefantastic:
Thanks. To the best of my ability, I think the SOP was well written.
Proof of funds; maybe that is the itch, she didnt put any other than the letter from AAFC.
Yea bsc, msc, phd all related.

Hello,

I’m not an expert but 1 and 2 are possible. But 2 might be “easier” as she can use you as home ties. But leaving an 8 month old baby behind might also raise a red flag.

If she’s applying with the baby, she’ll have to make day care arrangements for the baby and prove that it won’t affect her studies.

If she’s applying with you and the baby then you’ll need to have other ties to your home country and a good financial standing that will compel you to return to the country after her studies.

I’ll wait for the gurus to throw more light into this.
@frankrobbn

donbuscka:
Good day everyone. I appreciate the info so far. However, i have a question bothering me deeply..

My wife want to apply for Study permit and include our 8 months old daughter and I as dependants/spouse in the application.

1. Do we stand a chance of getting approval or does adding family members affect the chances of success?

2. Can she apply alone first and when she gets approved and travel, then me and our daughter will apply? It this a possible route? Any implications?

I will appreciate your guidance please.

I’m sorry to hear about the refusal. Please let her order her GCMS notes to see a more specific reason.

What was her msc in? Is it related to the PhD she applied for? Was her statement of purpose well written?

What proof of funds did she submit?

Hopefully gurus in the house can throw more light into this. @frankrobbn1
