A valid point actually, get a good worded LOE to address the situation and apply immediately.

Timeline:
Applicaion submitted April 26th 2021 (PhD with full funding). Also submitted my personal bank statement (not MBS).

They laughed, handed me my passport and told me I’ll be fine, they then directed me to the correct gate, apparently the were already boarding…

As I got to Istanbul immigration… QUESTION STARTED

Good day all,
I would like to know when you give additional information to your application via webform, does it update in your application? All the additional documents I gave through the webform, I have not seen any each time I log in to my application.

emmalextemtop:


So, it means if one get the request, no need for upload? Or will still upload but not through webform but the portal?

You know what, I'm not sure. Medical request doesn't necessarily imply request for additional document so I don't think the application upload portal will be opened.

Pls reapply Immediately and let them know your program is fully funded and no one is accompany you .

Good Morning everyone,

I would like to know what kind of questions an international student should expect at the port of entry?

Also, I plan to stay in my sister's apartment for the 2-week quarantine before heading to campus. She is also a student. The problem is she lives in a different province than my college. Would the border/immigration officer have an issue with this?

If so, I would appreciate any suggestions for a suitable quarantine plan.
Thank you very much


@Frankrobbn1 @Justmellow @Adiekwe1@Lekiboboe @NairaLuck @justwise @Akannitommy and other gurus, please advice

No it doesn't, but you should get a mail acknowledging receipt of the documents.

God take Control, like three refusals already today .
May the rest of the week be the best(approved) for everyone awaiting their decision.

This Canada process can really be frustrating

@RollyA
Trust you are doing well.
Have you gotten your GCMS Notes? If not I hope you have sent them series of webform.
They can't be delaying application and still refuse to release GCMS Notes

Oyesquare10:
Submit her birth certificate and that of your dad to show the same parent birth them.
Some people also use a family three.
I think swearing an affidavit also play some part

Okay noted!

Also who knows where first dose moderna vaccines are being given in lagos?

So sorry for your refusal.
But wow! Are these people under so much pressure that they can't do due diligence?
How did they even arrive at the reason for refusal? When someone is being fully funded and he's not being accompanied by any family member, yet refusal reason says otherwise. Na wa o. This is not right

Can you possibly send mails and webform to tackle this unjust refusal? Write to your MP and school too.
This is not right.

OCT202020:


Normally it isn't expected to be more than 24hours but we've seen some exceptional cases which yours is one of them.

But one thing common to all the exceptional cases is the eventual PPR.
All you can do is raising webform.

Just go dey pack your bags, it's a done deal.

Amen I really pray so!!! I have been sending webforms and emails. Thank you

Winner0718:


Sorry about your refusal, you will have to upload all documents from the scratch including the new ones you want to add. I can see 3 reasons for refusal from what you uploaded.
Purpose of Visit, employment situation and family ties. Please dont give yourself too much pressure to reapply, list the documents you submited for the refused application.

Documents I submitted:

Acceptance letter (undergraduate)
Travel history covering 4 years of travel
Study permit from Ghana
Transcript from former institution showing 2yrs of study
English proficiency letter from former institution
LOE explaining reason I opted out of study (music)
Proof of music participation (award plaques and certificates)
Letter of employment and worker’s id
Pof with over 18m
My personal pof with over 5m
Birth certificates of parent and siblings
Upfront medical
CAC of father
Contract awards letter from government to father’s company
Board of directors of father’s company (I’m one of the directors)
LOE explaining why I want to re-start my study
Statement of purpose

I will suggest judicial review of your application considering the fact you didn’t mentioned accompanying family member. What document did they review to Meade their decision?

No, it won't.


Ircc will confirm receipt via mail or you see it in your gcms notes.

This is really confusing and worrisome. Hope IRCC is not just denying applicants for no justifiable reason ?

From this documents you listed, i note that you did not mention anything about your employment, also your SOP might not be convincing to the V.O However order for your GCMS notes to know the V.Os concern.
Are you fully into Music? And what course are you going to study?

Await more inputs from the gurus.
