Do you know the Refund policy or the School?

Some Schools only refund in the event of visa denial.

So you may need to research into the refund policy of the school to see if you can get a refund and pursue the Masters.

slutky:


I have already paid 10k CAD i was planning that I will make a refund from the college and add to the Masters program because I cannot afford the masters fees without the refund from the college

I feel there was another way international students used to do it in the past. You have to travel with the visa you have and then when you get over there, you can change school and go for another study permit. But with the different changes in immigration policies , I don't know how advisable that could be for now. So you can go ahead with the advise already given , go for the one you already have and defer the Masters to another session. Then apply for maybe another Study permit or study permit extension. Thank you.

POF should be first year tuition plus living expenses plus logistics or miscellaneous like flight ticket and also showing evidence of being able to pay second year tuition and sustaining yourself for the second year.
Since your dad is your sponsor, did you include his payslips if he's a salary earner or businesses details if he's a business man?

Daaaz0409:
No, my dad was my sponsor. Quick question please it’s the pof meant to be tuition for the two years plus living expenses or one year tuition plus living expenses

You will submit your sponsors bank statements and letter of sponsorship, salary pay slips of a salary earner or businesses certificate if a business woman, with her International passport data page, birth certificate, any pictures taken with her if any, evidences of previous supports she had given you in the past, and any other documents to show that she's related to you and able to sponsor you.
Then you attach your own documents like admission letter , PAL, certificates , International passport, etc and you apply.

Icekidg:
Thank you very Much, I am being sponsored by my mum’s sister what documents do I need since it’s not a direct parent?

Congrats on receiving the PAL. Your next line of action should be to gather your documents and submit your application. If your documents are already ready to submit, you can apply right away. Good luck.

Icekidg:


I have received My PAL now please can someone help me in details my next line of Action 🙏 please Thank you

I think you can still use them or if it is possible for you to update it , you can.

Marcgrace:
Hello! @Everyone
Does anyone have any idea about how long you can print your bank statements before applying for your Canada student permit?
My bank statements were printed a month ago. Can I still use them?

Please, when you say you need to show a backdated letter of employment with pay slips to your account and evidence, does that mean you have to show a bank statement showing that amount in the pay slip?

Jeboy:
While I agree with you that it is not ideal to claim a situation you cannot defend the ask here is NOT for proof of hometie but proof of Purpose.

Probing Purpose cones first before hometies because even if you are worth over 200 million naira and all the people in your village are your parents and siblings...if your purpose isn't strong you will be rejected. Purpose determines the first reason why you should be considered for the admission so it is very strong.

What he can do here is to approach someone who has an IT company let him get a backdated offer of employment letter with the companys letter head for an entry level IT role and back it up with salary payment to your account which you will also print that you work there. At least 2 months salary payment evidence before you apply.

Also include Leave of absence that shows your employer support your study abroad detailing how it is going to help the company and that your job is guaranteed when you return back. This letter must be written by the company HR or MD. That's how to improve your purpose for applying for the course. This is what I have used before that works. I come in peace.

Also be ready for the HR or MD to be emailed in case there will be need to prove.

Please, I want to ask a question.

Someone who had done Biometrics in the past (less than 10 years ago) for a category of visa but the visa was refused.

If the person is reapplying again for another category of visa, does he or she need to do another Biometrics ?

And does the person need to pay another Biometrics fee?

Thank you.

I thought PAL is usually valid for up to 6 months. Except you had gotten it since though.

Nbkay23:
pls sir, I hope I’m safe, my PAL expires tomorrow June 15th, but I’ve submitted since May 29th on the portal , and I’ve done my Biometrics, I hope it doesn’t affect the fact they’ve not updated yet on acceptance

Thank you for this. Can you also help state or list the documents you submitted alongside. You said it was a simple application. Please, don't forget to email me on kingslove030492@gmail.com or you drop your email so I can email you or drop your contact so I can contact you.

Thank you.

** Introduce yourself

** Your future goals and how it relates to your course of study
** Why did you choose the school
** Why did you choose Canada

In all, tell your story, and be sincere with it.

Congrats and I'm happy for you. Please, can you email me on

It's PPR

This can only be God.

Application submitted May 11
I did upfront medicals April 23
Biometrics has been done since last year.
PPR June 12

Honestly, this can only be God helping me, because the documents I submitted were too simple.

Thank you to everyone that gave insights and ideas here too. I am grateful for your help

I suppose what the VO may mean by insufficient funds is that available funds you presented doesn't seem enough because you said your tuition fees is about 22k and then you have living expenses of approximately 21k. If you add both together, it gives about 43k. If you then minus the 6k you paid as tuition deposit, it gives you a balance of 37k to show but you only showed proof of funds of 29k. Maybe that's where the insufficient funds is coming from.
As per home ties, I wouldn't know, you can repackage that well in your next application.
Good luck.

somtorizm:
Hello please I need suggestions.

I got admitted to study Mobile application dev at University of Winnipeg. I have gotten my PAL, and I did made my first attempt for study permit on 1st May, did biometrics on 15may and rejection came on 28th May. Note I haven't done medicals.


. I have determined that your application does not meet
the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) (https://laws-
lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/I-2.5/index.html) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations
(IRPR) (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/index.html). I am refusing
your application.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as required by
paragraph R216(1)(b) of the IRPR (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/
section-216.html). I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will
leave Canada, based on the following factors:
• Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel
for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).
• You do not have significant family ties outside Canada.


My personal info
Am currently self -funding myself,
My school tuition fee is 22,450 CAD, and I have already made a deposit of 6900 CAD. I have also an accumulation of 29000 USD savings which was gotten through years of saving doing freelance works. This was attached with receipt and inflows of account. Thou I did deposited large sum recently which I explained as I did liquidate most of my stocks on bamboo. I also attached evidence and receipts to show that

My concern mostly was the course of study. I had a bachelor's degree in education and English studies. But with work of experience in mobile dev I got admitted which I was much excited about. In my rejection slip the VO didnt mention about my choice of study. Rather he mentioned. Home ties and insfuccient funds.

Things I did note was that currently am unemployed and work so come seasonal not frequently. So maybe was a red flag from the V.O and I didn't elaborated more on my family background.

So am currently trying to reapply next first week next month as my program is starting ending of August.

I have already requested for GMSC notes. But I heard it takes like a month to get it.

So am trying to use my eldest brother who's currently working for a company and has a good financial ground . My dad is late and mum is a retired Public servant. I have 3 siblings.
I also want to attach an employment slip from a company in Nigeria that would employ me on my return to Nigeria. I just don't know if there's anything am not getting right. Or should I just wait for my gms notes.

Someone said is also good thing to pay up all the tuition fees and have a co sponsor + 20,609 CAD and other expenses in your account

Please can you send me your email or contact, I will like to contact you. Thank you

THIS IS A VERY LONG POST. I TRIED TO PUT IT TOGETHER WITHOUT ERRORS AND TOOK ME SOME DAYS TO WRITE IT.

Long post alert,
PPR and landing gist.
First of all,
Grateful to Almighty God to be able to write this because each time I open this thread and see PPRs I always look forward to the day I will also write mine and someone who is reading this will surely get PPR.
I am a strong believer of God and I can say my application was 100 percent on GOD.
Also I want to thank the guys here contributing and shedding lights, God Continually bless you guys.

First time Applicant
Family of Three,
Wife on study,
Husband on SOWP
9 months Daughter on Visit permit.

Me and my wife are both in Express Entry pool since September 2022 and wife score is 463
Mine was lower.

We were hoping the score will drop but when it got to 480 it went up back.

We didn't want to take chances based on Nigeria instability and we decided to try study.

Upfront Medicals September 2022.
Application Submitted 18th April 2023.
Wife biometrics drop 19th april,
Husband biometrics drop 20th april
We both booked Biometrics for 25th April, paid for premium lounge at VFS Lekki and we were able to capture quick.

THEN THE LONG WAIT,
This is the longest wait of our lives.
Wife medical passed 8th May,Eligibility started day.
Husband eligibility started 9th May
Medicals passed 9th May.

On status tracker
Eligibility and medicals completed for both.
Then we started waiting ooo,
A little later
Eligibility for my daughter started, and I was like what are they checking in an innocent 6months old.

After 6weeks of application we started sending emails and webform to IRCC daily,
We didn't let IRCC rest
I mandated my wife to send at least webform and email twice daily.
Infact we still got a reply to some of our webform we sent in June few days back.
It was plenty disturbance on them.

Fast forward to July 14
The Golden mail dropped.

JULY 14 PPR dropped for me and wife but medical request for our daughter,
I was happy/ angry that why will IRCC request for medicals because we were not asked to submit medicals for her in the pre application questionnaire, i was not understanding why ircc will request her Medicals, but I think getting here I came to understand that she's a special visitor because she got her visit permit at the port of entry, so I guess it's because she will be staying longer than 6months in Canada she will be mandated to do medicals.

Resumption is September 5.

Now to the struggle of how to get the Medicals done to getting her ppr and traveling together as family before September 5th.
It was alot on me sincerely. At the same time I was also planning to book flight and everyday, flight was getting expensive and expensive. Told my wife to go to iom and qlife and gate crash to see if we can do the medicals on the spot.
Told her to see and sort anyone any amount just to get it done, after series of begging and begging the earliest date for iom was july 28,
We proceeded to qlife and started looking for how to gate crash and do it as well, but after series of begging and begging and also sorting a staff 30k we were able to get July 21st appointment date.
We did medicals and started begging qlife to send results to IRCC.
They kept telling us it takes 5-10 business days.
The medicals was just a check on the baby and no blood sample was taken I was telling them since they are not culturing or testing any sample they should just forward the result to IRCC.
They no gree o
Until the after 5 business days when we called and a reasonable customer service agent picked the call, narrated the whole situation to her and she promised to push it to be forwarded.
While disturbing qilife we were also sending emails and webform to IRCC informing them we have done medicals and they should release our daughter ppr.

July 29th medical passed for daughter.

August 1st PPR dropped.

We parents sent our passport through UPS to vfs Lekki on July 20th and got email to pick up exactly 10 working days.
Sent my daughter passport through UPS to vfs abuja, paid transmission fee because she didn't do biometrics, paid for return courier fee and SMS fee. We didn't get any sms only email.

We book our flight of 4.5m for the three of us on july 25 and to travel September 6 o, very expensive!.
Let me quickly say this if you are tall like me, 1.86m, I will advise you not to book normal seat for a long journey like that. Better you pick a seat in front of demarcation where u can spread your legs..
We could not get straight flight to prince George in BC, so we only got flight from Lagos to Vancouver.
Then I book separate with Air Canada from Vancouver to prince George. About 500$ with insurance.
First flight took off at 1.40pm and landed Addis Ababa around 8pm then we were carried by bus to where we will connect our next flight from ADD to Toronto.
Ethiopian airline didnt transfer our luggage at Toronto we had to do that ourselves which was very stressful.
When we landed Toronto we saw a signpost saying new students, we lined up and was taken to where new students will get their study permit. Because we had an infant we where at the front, we were showed the self declaring machine which we input our details and a ticket print out. Took the ticket and proceeded to two border officer desk to collect our permits.
The officers searched for her name but couldn't see it because the name on her visa is her maiden name and that was because we opened the GC key account last year with her maiden name and all her documents then was in her maiden name. She asked us to sit down and the officer took our receipt and proceeded to do a system check and was nodding while checking, then she came to us and handed over her study permit bearing her maiden name to us.
She then directed us to go downstairs to get my work permit and visitor permit for our daughter.
But for the other students after collecting the print out, they will go to the next desk to get their study permit then line up to see the border officer who will ask them questions before he stamps their passport for entry. I saw where one officer asked a student to show him something on his phone, probably maybe he asked for his bank account balance I guess.
So we proceeded downstairs to and met a long queue of work permit / visit entry. It got to our turn and the border officer asked us while we were here so I told him my wife is here to study while I'm on open work permit and my daughter on visit visa, so he said my wife already got her study permit and we should just submit her study permit while mine and daughter passport alone. He didn't know my wife passport was not stamped yet. He asked us to sit and wait while he works on on the work permit after a while he called my name and then boom he has printed my work permit and also stamped our passports, but my wife quickly told him her passport as not been stamped so he requested for her passport and study permit again and then stamped it.
So I think God orchestrated it this way cos we only paid 4k out of 18k tuition and we were worried not to be asked at the POE for proof of funds even though we did globus POF for one week o.

So we joined our connecting flight to Vancouver, got to Vancouver and boarded our last flight.
Guys I must say Canada is very fine and even the city we are is so fine, there are a lot of opportunities for work, especially if your technically inclined, you go see work tire.
Please I beg you reading this, if you considering or contemplating to come to Canada, pls decide now and come fast, this is a good place to be, the system is working.
I am here now and I can categorically state that you will never regret spending all your life savings to land here.
