The situation shouldn't be hard for a lawyer to resolve. I wish we had done more to warn you about these so called agents. Wishing you all the best.

1. ?. I don't get.
2. You have to.
3. Not necessary.

Thank you sir. I meant should I list all my family members in my sop or a separate letter.

Wow! Congratulations.
E don finally reach April ooo
May God come through for all of us.

CrownTdan:
BVL and PPR landed some minutes ago!!!

I’ll comeback by COB to drop timeline.

Akanoa:

Thank you sir. I meant should I list all my family members in my sop or a separate letter.

There's a form for family information. It's among the imm form you're required to download and fill. No need to make another list.

Guys my eligibility hasn't started yet and my background check is still being reviewed, could this be the reason?
I included travel to Nairobi on one of my IMM forms too.

CaddyT:

My current passport is with no stamps is what I uploaded on my profile.
Can I still scan the travel stamp and send it via webform?

But why do they even demand for ielts before they consider fast tracking applications?! It has zero benefit, plus spending that extra money unnecessarily is Just very annoying.

shupy:

The eligibility status in an applicant's account is not a reliable indicator of application stage. It's regarded as the most important/final stage in the process. Sometimes it begins within a few days after submission, finalized months after and vice versa. In some cases, the eligibility status doesn't even change.

wow! Thank you.

Seem like I’m late to the party. Congratulations to all those who got PPR today.. for those hopeful including myself God is in our neighborhood.

Hello house, is IELTS mandatory for study visa approval? NB: I've gotten a conditional admission letter with Durham College..

Thanks so much. Please can you send me the link to the webform

1.Hello, please I need advice on an issue. I'm trying to prove my family ties using my siblings. I've checked the ircc family form but there is no section for that. Please where do I state all the siblings I have. We are 7 in number and I'm the third born.
2. I have two elder sisters, one in Canada and another in the UK. Should I mention them as my siblings also.
3. Should I include their international passport or birth certificates and also where should I include it.
Please your guidance is highly needed as I don't want to mess up my second application. Thank you.

1. There is an IMM form ( family information form) -I can’t remember what IMM it is- for that purpose. It should be among the required forms on your application portal. I am not too sure if you can fill up to 7 siblings. You prove your home ties not on the form but by a solid explanation in your SOP ( how they truly serve as home ties for you) as well as evidence to back up your story. Maybe family pictures and the likes. All this would be in your client information

2. Omo I no know oo. Your sibling in Canada might give an impression that you are trying to abscond at the same time it could show their financial independence( if your parents are your sponsors)… Ask the gurus for more guidance

3. it is advisable to show proof if you mentioned anyone as your sibling. Birth certificates, intl passport, drivers license and the likes would work. You are to include in your client information.

My 2kobo

Oh ToluDstar I am so so happy for u! It has finally ended in praise. I have been looking out for your post. Did u start class online? I am rounding up my first semester, still in Naija though.

Congrats once again. God is faithful! I pray same for as many that are waiting on God for their good news. You will not be disappointed by the grace of God. Amen!
