Hello, I saw your above post. I applied for same program since dec 2020 for fall 2021(Sept) and have not gotten my acceptance letter yet. Would you be kind enough to tell me when you applied for the course and what semester you applied for, also when did you receive your letter of acceptance. Thank you. I applied in October 2019.. got admission 28th of feb 2020... but I saw the mail in March because I didn’t check on time. NB, the deadline for the MER program is 15th feb.. admissions are given after deadline.. I didn’t want to study online so I deferred to September 2021.. Just be hopeful. |

This is good news, Omali. I told you, wait for it. One month without the start of eligibility review is not enough delay for you to worry so much. God will finish the good work.

Pee2Jay9: Patience isn't one of my virtues so I struggled with this process but I thank God it worked out eventually.
1st Application: Visit visa refused in 2018 Study permit application - 10th July 2020 GCMS notes - 21st September, stating absolute rubbish that didn't tally with my submissions, I'm self sponsored but they said I'll deplete family savings plus other crap they wrote. I started sending plenty webforms and emails, requesting that my application be reviewed as the assessment on the notes were very wrong, all to no avail Official refusal - October 2nd 2020. Reasons stated for me - family ties, personal assets, purpose of visit including travel history, lolz.
2nd Application - 16th October 2020 Upfront medical - 30th November 2020
NSE request for only ielts - 1st December. I replied next day telling them that I can't write cos I'm unavailable. Then I merged my LOE as to why I can't write + my medical sheet + tuition receipt of $2,500 to UoR and submitted in the column provided for NSE. I first used UoM LOA to apply but later adviced them to continue processing with UoR LOA since the previous admission was valid for only the winter term, no deferral. I haven't read of anyone doing this for an ongoing application and was strongly advised against doing it but I sent it anyway.
Medicals passed - 16th of December 2020. 17th March 2021 - IRCC finally replied one of my several emails (that processing has exceeded standard time) asking for ielts again. I had to promised them that I'll go and write it and send the upper week. IELTS exam - 27th March 2021 but then, I didn't know that BVL & PPR had dropped on 26th of March 2021 UPS 2-way courier to Abuja - 29th March 2021 Passport returned to me - April 2021
Documents submitted for both applications: All IMM forms In the Admission section, i uploaded: Admission letter, Correspondence with school and application receipts BEng certificate and transcript Certifications - COREN, NSE, IPMP, NYSC
In the passport section, i uploaded: International passport with visas to Singapore, UAE and Ghana Birth Certificate and LGA certificate Biometrics documents
Proof of funds section, I uploaded: myBank statement ticket, amount to tally with a table I created to show all funds required for the duration of my study My several Investments and pension accounts showing that the funds for my studies is only a percentage of my networth, all to prove assets and economic ties. Employer's Letter of introduction Payslips Tax Certificates Business agreements and Investment Certificates - I think some of these were unnecessary especially the FX investments.
Client info section, I uploaded: Table of content for documents , followed by LOE Age declaration documents for parents Birth certificates for siblings An inauguration brochure for my dad as ICAN chairman, that had pictures of my family members as professionals in different fields My personal land deed, survey and receipts Proof of car ownership, explained as assets Updated CV, Work ID card Congratulatory emails and awards from work, some had pictures from expatriate supervisors, an award from global Manager Employment history - all my promotion documents and offers from past and present
In summary, what I did differently was to only subtly rebut the previous reasons with same documents used for the first time (even the myBank statement was the old one I reused with no money in my UBA account sef, but I got a letter from Stanbic asset managers attesting my finances, and submitted SOA from 2016). I also paid $2,500 as part of my tuition, just to show commitment of some sort.
The Letter I wrote for the second application was termed LETTER OF RECONSIDERATION, telling the VO to refer to their error in the previous application and that I meet their requirements. I showed my POF budgeted as $50k (a % of my total) to cover the entire 2 years of my study - $15k tuition, $25k for living expenses & $10k flights and miscellaneous, as I'll be self sponsored. Home ties were parents, siblings and friends, Stanbic asset management Investment letter, UK-DION investment certificate to be receiving monthly ROI to cater for unseen events while studying (all to show that I'm not going there to work), Pension, Landed property & Car. I studied Chemical Eng. and going for MSc. in Industrial as a progression in my career.
The gist: When the GCMS notes came in that first time, I feel into depression cos I couldn't fathom how poorly my application was assessed but I found strength, after many hard days, to maintain my faith, holding unto the fact that God won't leave me half-way. I reached out to plenty lawyers to just go straight to JR cos up till now, I don't understand what went wrong with that first application, considering that I had studied this thread from part 13 and know what was obtainable. I wrote my LOE using every refusal reason as subheadings and addressing each as it applies to me, but then... I learned some lessons - so much is outside my control, God is faithful so I should depend solely on Him than trust my own understanding, In such cases, sound more sympathetic than professional.
Upon seeking JR approach, one lawyer just advised me to reapply first and we'll take it up after the second time. Now, God perfected it. To all hopefuls, God doesn't put to shame those that put their trust in Him. I literally gave up plenty times and even stopped going to church, but His mercy and reckless love won't just give up on me. I even prefer traveling now than that December I had wanted, God's time is really the best and I thank Him for how it turned out.
Thanks to everyone that replied my enquiries and emails, I really appreciate y'all. I've made great friends from this forum, It's really overwhelming and I'm grateful to y'all. Congrats and shout out to Lekiboboe (my amazing and selfless paddy that have always been just a chat away) and NairaLuck (my first application set-mate that it happened for before me, I'm happy it ended in praise for us all), IRCC made me weak to even type here again. Thanks to Frank (u literally had to stand by for my unending emails) and Dommakaveli - this 2 argued one time on one enquiry I raised, lolz, all follow o. Shout out to my UoR crew. I thank u all so much for believing in my application and wishing me success. God will always show you favor. Ehem, Brace up, landing gist to follow�
This is more like it, I guess they've remembered us now. CONGRATULATIONS bro, and God alone be all the GLORY. 2 Likes |

This is good news, Omali. I told you, wait for it. One month without the start of eligibility review is not enough delay for you to worry so much. God will finish the good work. PPR is coming your way soon, mate. In fact make I tell una, anyone here looking for help in writing their SoP should contact Uzomachukwu. I initially said I will keep the testimony until after I got my visa in my hand. But as I checked my account today and saw that my eligibility review already started on the 26th, my heart just dey jolly. Even with my 4.3 CGPA, I had applied two times to different schools in Canada for an MA in Archeology. 2018-19, no admission. 2019-2020, still no admission. 7 different universities, no one even waitlisted my application. So last year I had already said I was not going to waste my money applying again. But fortunately, I saw Uzomachukwu's post here just before the application deadline as he talked about how he was given admission and scholarships by three different universities in just one year. Omo, me I said noo! He must tell me how managed to do it. Just one trial and he got three admissions when I have been applying since 2018 without even any encouraging feedback. Supervisors no even gree give me face sef. My guy charged me wella shaaa. But he really did the job. In fact, he took my SOP and tore it to pieces. As I saw the red marks everywhere, I just told him to pls just write a new one for me. He also rewrote all the recommendation letters I was using. As God would have it, last month, I got admission from Calgary with part funding to cover my tuition, and this month again, another offer from University of Saskatchewean. I had already submitted my visa application before Saskatchewan messaged me. Even though I don't have my visa yet, I already feel like a big boy. With the beautiful 5 page SoP which the SoP guru himself designed for my study permit application, my confidence dey high. I trust that my very big God will not let me down.

Thanks We're preparing to do a gift deed ,hope it helps ? Do I still need to present his bank statement if he gifts full tuition for a year and living expenses ? Do I present mybankstatement or Normal six months bank history ? Frankrobbn1:
The visa officer is not satisfied that you've the financial resources to embark on your studies in Canada. He has expressed concerns that you're single, mobile and not established in Nigeria. More so, there are traces of large deposits which dropped into your sponsor's account two days prior to the account statement was printed.
To adequately clear the grey areas in this regard, provide a detailed letter of explanation stating your establishment in Nigeria and why this program is a reasonable progression for you and worth the cost and difficulty of pursuing the program in Canada. Your sponsor should provide a separate letter which would elucidate in detail as to the origin of the funds that came into his account. More importantly, get your brother go transfer your living expenses into your account to prove that you've full access to the money in his account.
I hope this information helps
It will end in praise |
