So I duno if it’s allowed here but I don’t intend to break the rules.

I felt I can share what I gained. I recently listened to an Instagram live discussion on KSA’s page with an ex-VO, Annie who is now an immigration consultant.

It was helpful as I was able to see through the eyes of a typical visa officer. Even though their views may vary as everyone is different. it was insightful hearing from the other side and what she generally thinks about the high visa refusals from Nigeria.

See link if you wish to watch and if the link is not accessible, go to KSAs page and search for the interview he had with Anie.
Very helpful

It will be difficult to convince the VO WITHOUT a CAC documents to prove his business is verified and registered I think it's your only option right now. Registration costs 15k I don't think it's really a big deal and you'll get the certificate in a week or 2 max.
Apart from what I've stated above with i feel is a requirement that will solidify your claim you can also get other proves:
1.Receipt and business invoice of sales.
2. A website that advertises the nature of the business and services provided.
3. A customer's reference letter. (Preferably with a company's letter head)
5. Pictures of goods and merchandise. To help the VO grasp the nature of the business.

Happy Sunday all! Please can the quarantine be done in a relatives house in Canada?

Hello the gurus, @lekibobo, @shupy, @frankborn, @justmellow and everyone else.

My younger brother's application was refused on the first week of June based on purpose of visit and personalasset and financial status, second application.

I got the notes and I need everyone's help on it because I want to get it right this time around.

Brief info about his profile:
Had OND in Architecture.

Had a diploma certificate in desktop publishing from a training centre

Working as a Customer Care Officer at Globacom.

24 years of age, going for BSC in computer science.

NB: CAC certificate was submitted as proof of source of income.

Achi911:
Hello everyone, please can I still upload documents for NSE even after the request has expired?

It still shows your action is needed but request deadline has passed

possessor1:
PLEASE TREAT AS URGENT

IRCC just messaged me and told me that I have a debt of 235 dollars.

that I need to pay this before they continue with my application.

how do I approach this?

what do I do?

Gurus please I need your counsel...does calling someone in Canada to quickly pay affect my application in anyway?

NB I used an agent when I applying.... He made the payments.

Anon123:


First you chose the wrong course. If he had a bsc, hr is meant to be going for an advanced diploma in Architect not a bsc. Like the vo rightly stated, customer care isnt related and if I was the one, I wouldnt mention it.

He is 24yrs and possibly above the age for a bsc.

Did he include his own bank statement?

Good CAC was attached but I feel other docs like receipts or contracts done could also serve as proof of funds.

The bank statement was scanned poorly.

qudusbalogun89:
He had ND not BSC. And we want to switch from Architecture to Computer Science. He doesn't want to pursue a career in Architecture anymore.

Then what you need to do is pursue an advanced diploma or PGD in a computer science related field. Please your work experience should be in IT. Do not show that customer care again.

The vo had issues with this, yes he did a diploma in computer science course but no work experience in the intended course.

Anon123 please help how do I battle home tie. Have family members in USA , but VO stated family member in Canada in the refusal.
I did not submit any landed properties even though I have some inherited. And also employment letter was not submitted.. Please advice gurus in the house.

Abimbola15:
The reason for my previous refusals were:

1st application refusal : I applied with my sister, we had same sponsor, same course we were admitted to study, infact same everything. She got it and I didnt and it came as a shock to me. Requested my gcms notes and they mentioned financials and employment. The financials was that my source of funding wasnt clear because my brother who is young basically inherited money and property from my dad and the VO wasnt quite convinced of this source of funding. Then i was unemployed at the time so my employment was a problem.

2nd application refusal was almost same as the first but they added language abilities to the reason.

How I was able to tackle the refusals: I had to really change my SOP. State my source of funding clearly, made my sponsor also state it very well in his letter. Attached relevant documents. Added an affidavit. Added my IELTS to tackle the language abilities and wrote well about it in my SOP. I would say that the only difference between my two previous applications and the third is that I really reworked my SOP to explain every single detail again. In terms of documents, nothing really changed between applications.

Anon123:


The bolded was the reason for the hometies not your family in the US.

Hometies are things that could bring you back home or items that tie you to your country of residence. Eg, current Employment placement, landed properties and assets like houses. A car is not an asset cos it loses value.

Finally order for your notes to see the actual reasons of the vo

Hello Guys!

Came to share my testimony here. Visa was rejected twice and approved on my third visa application.

Started this journey in 2020.

1st application: April 23, 2020.
Rejected September 23rd, 2020.
2nd application: November 23rd , 2020.
Rejected March 10th, 2021.

3rd application: March 26th, 2021.
Medical request July 12th 2021.
Passport Request 29th July, 2021.

The journey was frustrating and tbh I had already given up and started looking into visa applications to other countries. You really need alot of patience to endure all of this. If you find yourself in a similar situation please request your gcms notes and really tackle the issues.

Really grateful to God and I wish everyone the best!

Achi911:


Thank you.

I’m trying to submit a webform but the documents don’t upload. I guess they’re still fixing the site.

What if I submit to another ircc in another country, will it be forwarded to the office handling my application?

Kunfu:

Can someone assist me with dis

emmalextemtop:


Ohh, really, you mean that

Company can sponsor? If i no longer use my dad, and uses company, will that be okay and sound genuine to the VO?

I had to stop the company sponsorship bcs i heard it won't show much prove, that i have to have strong reason, for them investing such huge money on me, all on knowledge, but parents is still very understandable.
