Good afternoon Nairaland Family.

Please I would like to know if someone can apply for study permit (PGD) without part payment of school fees. In other words, is part payment of school fees compulsory before submitting application.

Please note; the school has already sent a conditional offer of admission. Below is the content of the letter;

"Dear ......

This letter confirms that you met the provisional admission offer for the post degree in ......offered at the unversity of winnipeg ...

Met Admission requirement form - use this document for your application to IRCC for a study permit. Pleas consult with IRCC to determine if you can apply for a study permit with a provisional letter, or you should wait until you receive an unconditional offer"

Thank you.

Residentourist:
LONG POST ALERT!!!

As is often reiterated in this platform, no two applications is the same.
A BIG THANK YOU to all those who keep providing valuable information and offering guidance here. God bless and keep you.

Timeline:
1st application 2016
Applied for PGD in HRM to Georgian College
Refused on basis of;
# Home ties (I applied for visitors visa for my husband and first child, my other two are US citizens)
# Finanicial bla bla bla (VO wasn't convinced the course was a reasonable expense, no career progression and he claimed there was a bulk cash lodgement into the account, which unfortunately wasn't true)

2nd application 2020
Applied for MHRM in University of Regina
Refused primarily because I wasn't "totally truthful" in my application. I had clicked yes on the previous refusal of visas but unfortunately it was only the details of my previous study permit application I dwelt on. Other excuses about section R216 ie not leaving Canada were mentioned in the rejection but my GCMS highlighted that the VO's main concern was the non-declaration of the US visa refusal.

# For myself, I only submitted my employment letter, confirmation of employment and introduction letter from my employer.
I stated in my SOP that since I will not be earning an income through the duration of my studies I don't feel the need to submit my own bank details so it doesn't divert the attention ,(not stated in those exact words o)

International passports of myself, my husband and 3 kids. They serve as home ties.

I hope I haven't left anything out.

I graduated with a 2.2 in accounting and finance but got the MHRM offer through the experience route which is for people who have worked in HR for about 7years and above. I had to write a convincing letter to the graduate school and was given the grwenlight to go ahead with my application

I am 37 going on 38 in August but that didn't deter me.

Thank you so much @frankrobbn1 @justwise @lekiboboe and all the other contributors too numerous to mention. You are a blessing!!!

If you know someone that has the paid version of Adobe get them to optimize and resize it from there. That’s what I used and I got to 3MB and all documents were very clear

Thaiy:


It's sad that you got refused. You are a frees spirited person and looks at things with a different perspective.

Do not get discouraged, order your gcms and reapply if that's where you priority lies.

I wish you all the best.....it will end in praise.

Toopee:
I got same too

Hello all.
Been a silent reader/observer. You all are doing a good job here, especially the gurus. The info I have received from this platform is priceless.
Kudos!

Kindly see my attached timeline.
I ignored the NSE request because my sponsors are UK citizens (UK Bank Statements).

Going by their NSE policy, my app’s timeline officially commenced from 5th April.

On 7th June I sent an urgent email to Lagos/Nairobi/London offices to know the status of my application. The mail was acknowledged but no other response till now.

Should I apply for my notes?

shupy:

You can but I don't think you'd see any beneficial info. Most April applications are yet to be finalized, NSE or no NSE.

Lamideyy:

Wow
Seems like they truly haven’t started reviewing your eligibility
The eligibility isn’t meant to be blank if suppose
The criminality passed and complete info sharing is something though
At least it shows someone has worked on your application

Hello everyone. Please just a quick one: I want to start my application for study permit and I have just few questions to set me in the right path.
1. I finished from coutonu university but I’m from Nigeria.
2 I studied international relations.
My questions now are:
Can I still go for PGD in Canada and if yes what are the schools that I can apply to without the IELTS or any English exam. Thank you �

shawn55ng:
Dear friends,
Please I need an advice cos I'm weak right now

NSE sent me mail that I should upload proof of fund and Proof of IELTS test results: Submit an IELTS Test Report Form that shows a score of 6.0 or higher in each skill (reading, writing, speaking and listening). This must be received at this office by: 2021/06/25


Now my result is out and I got the following.
Speaking 7.5
Writing 6
Listening 5.5 did not meet 6 as stated
Reading. 5 did not meet up 6 as stated
Band score 6
My question now is can I upload it like that or follow the normal route as stated.

Should we not receive the above document(s) or information within 30 days of the date of this letter we will assume that you wish to be processed through regular channels and your file will continue being processed accordingly.

Please advise me if I should just do the following
1. toll the line of normal route as i am not interested of writing another exam right now.
2. Will the normal route still request for this IELTS?
3. Will this result affect my chances

Thank you

olupatito:
I had a band 7.0 in in my ielts,which ai submitted with the application and later when I was asked for it again.
LRWS 7.5,7.0,6.5,7.O
My eligibility review is recommended pass. My husband and I submitted mybankstatement too

Oviebright:
Good evening everyone please I’d appreciate a response. I got letter of acceptance from Algonquin college this month and the I’m to pay my fees before July 23 to get tuition fees receipt and letter of admission . So I can apply for study visa. The problem now is that normally I need to provide proof of funds of 6 months from my sponsor I was wondering whether I can apply for visa December because the program starts Jan 22. So we can build up my sponsor statement of account from June to December. Because when applying you have to provide statement of account backwards 6 months from the date of application. Or whether I’m supposed to apply immediately after I get my letter of admission from the school. @frank and everybody

Good morning my people, I've come to share my timeline to encourage others just the same way I was encouraged with other people's timeline. God's time is truly the best.

Timeline
1st application: 30th August 2020
Biometrics:2nd September 2020
Refusal letter: 11th
September 2020
I had 4 reasons for refusal
- purpose of visit
- limited employment prospects in my country
-my current employment situation
-personal assets and financial assets.
The decision was made from their China office.

At that time I didn't know what gcms notes were and I wasn't active on nairaland so I just decided I will re-apply.

2nd application-23rd of February
NSE request:16th March
Submitted Mybankstatement(Submitted my own and my brother's company account statement) on the 29th March and also wrote to them to go through the normal route because I didn't have ielts (i had but my writing score was 5.5)
upfront medical : 29th of April
Medical passed: 19th April
All these while my profile was still on background check.
I became active on nairaland towards the end of May and I started reading other people's testimony/experiences and I started wondering when me too I will share my own good news. Before now, I could stay for 2 weeks without checking my profile but when I became active here, I started checking twice a day�. I didn't even know what ghost update meant and had never taken note of it until I read about it here and started looking out for it.
1st ghost update: 7th June
2nd ghost update: 9th June
Checked my profile and noticed they just updated that eligibility review has started
Bvl: 10th June 8:38am
Ppr : 10th June 8:42am
I just fell on the floor and started thanking this faithful God.
Mine is a testimony because its a switch from my first degree
1st degree was computer science, then I gained admission in George Brown College to study Culinary Management.
Since after my service year in 2015, I've been actively doing catering business.
I did a short diploma course with red dish culinary school in Lagos and have a certificate from it so I added it in my application.
My elder brother is my main sponsor but used his company account to sponsor me, my elder sister also wrote a letter saying she will be supporting me financially and she put her offer letter and pay slips.
I also showed about 4.6m in my account.
Also, for more than 2 years, my brother's company has been paying me monthly because I cater for their lunch so this also helped as I indicated it as salary.

I put in a lot my brother's company documents even existing contracts they have with some IOC'S. I also submitted an Affidavit of support from the company.

I'm just so grateful to God because its not of him who Wills, nor of him who runs but of God who shows Mercy.
Thank you to everyone here who kept our hope alive by sharing their own testimonies, you don't know how seeing good news here helped me believe mine will soon come.

For everyone waiting for their good news, it will soon come In Jesus Name.

On a lighter note: I dey find cheap ticket now oh�

Hello!
How did the company stands for you in the place of affidavit of support.
Can you give me the template of the affidavit.
What are the documents of the company you submitted?

Am also been sponsored fully by the company where i currently work through an offer of scholarship study they gave to me.

olupatito:
Thanks everyone for the encouragement and advises. I have ordered for another gcms note and will reach out to an immigration lawyer too.
Wish me well�

I’ve taken out some documents too.

Please if anyone knows how I can solve this “problem”, please let me know as my tired is tired.

Thank you
