Good evening everyone.
Please I really need your help.
My flight is meant to land in Toronto but there is a layover in Montreal.
Due to all the Covid and quarantine requirements will I be allowed to move to my final destination and quarantine there? Or will my journey end at Montreal?
Please help me. I am so frustrated and tired of canceling flights.

Hello Gurus,
Please I have a question I would like to ask.
I'm a self sponsored applicant , I'm applying very soon for my study permit , my mom is my co sponsor .
1. She's a businesswoman , she has a good inflow and outflow funds in her account but not very good closing balance due to the fact she utilize her funds for her building projects( she's a real estate developer and also a lessor ) can I use her SOA like that even though she's a co sponsor.
2. I'm going for a 2 years PGD and I have all the funds covered for the first year but not for the second year ( I've got a steady income monthly in my SOA ). I paid for the first year already and I got like 6.5m left in my account. Is it enough or I need more for the first year ?
3. Can I apply for the SP without her(Mother) SOA. since she has like 1m closing balance but with great inflow and outflow .I have enough documents to backup her source , proof and availability of funds , I'm just worried about her closing balance .

Please I hold someone can help me answer some of my concern .

Hello Raymondrain

1. In as much as the closing balance is important, the transaction history i.e inflow and outflow of a statement of account is also very important... The Visa Officer also looks out for the inflow and outflow of an Account... Even though I have seen on this thread(part 16) of a self-applicant getting a Visa with a closing balance of 500k (after paying his full school fees)such cases are very rare... So this is my advice as regards this, If you are resuming next year Fall i.e September of next year, let your mum build her account for a few more months before you apply, since she gets money regularly into her account...

2. 1st year payment of fees is what is expected and you must show you have funds for your living expenses and Missileneous for a year...

3. You must submit her Statement of account and the relevant documents since she is your Co-sponsor..

Peace

Your result is competitive for any school in Canada. Considering your desired program will likely be a research masters, below rules will help you.

1. No supervisor, no application. You don't determine your schools before hand. Wherever you get supervisors are your preferred schools.

2. Apply to 3-5 schools where you get supervisors. No supervisor or school can guarantee your admission. You will increase your chances by applying to more than one schools.

3. Check each department website and target supervisors in schools that offer funding. Your GPA will likely get you a full funding if you do things right. A full scholarship will save you a lot of stress when applying for a student visa.

I have to tell you though that the admission process require some time, experience and luck. You came a bit late because September 2022 deadline are almost here. Most first timers are usually not sure if they really want Canada nor put in the effort required. All the best.

Actually I’ve submitted an application for M.A Economics in Concordia university since October but I’ve not gotten a response yet
But it’s because of the issue with my transcript
My school made some mistakes on my transcript then they reached out to me saying they noticed some discrepancies and I should tell crescent university to send my official transcript before they assess my application and they’ve sent that since December 1, But no response from them yet

So I’m scared they’ll not accept me

But now I’ll apply to other schools including university of Manitoba

MJ1000:
Hello Everyone,

After waiting since August GCMS note is finally out.

Kindly assist with your interpretation, I was refused based on 'Personal assets and financial status" by our popular VO AH0389

Gift212:
How much was your school fees plus living expenses? one or 2 year course? Also, who's your sponsor to you? Does he/she have other dependants? Maybe the VO factored how much of the sponsor's earnings and other responsibilities compared to the amount needed for study and thought it modest.

makano:
Hello MJ

Based on what you have shown as your finances they believe that spending the amount of money on your proposed course would not be reasonable. You will need to explain why you are spending so much on the said course, the Visa Officer may feel you have the said course also in your home country, so why not study in your home country which will be way cheaper compared to studying the course in Canada which is way too expensive...

So it's your duty to state why you are spending so much to study this course, dwell on the importance of studying this course to your career, and also the benefits the course offers in your home country after the completion of the proposed program..

Also, what were your tuition + living cost, and how much proof of finance did you declare.

Peace

Hello MJ1000,


Give more information about your sponsor and the commitment made, employment situation, monthly income, and was there any lump sum deposit? This will allow people to assist with information.

From a presumed point of view, it seems you have dispersed inflows and/or sudden deposits.

Best of Luck

JustMellow:


Did you demonstrate your employment situation and did your sponsor show any commitment from the presented funds and how much was committed. Also, did you include your POF as a mature or gainful earner?

Financial availability is not assessed based on the sitting bank balance but by the actual commitment made towards the intent. Landed properties are not POF or demonstrate financial availability, strength, or sufficiency.

Best of Luck

SOPWriter:
Are you self-sponsored? If not, what's the existing relationship between you and your sponsor? What document validates your relationship with him/her? What's the length of your program? What percentage of your sponsor's balance is required for your CoS?

Your GCMS note is quite straightforward. I see no reason why you shouldn't be approved after reexamining your application using the above questions as guide.

Hi everyone

I want to share what is going on with my admission
My school made mistakes on my transcript
So I uploaded without noticing
The school reached out saying they noticed the year on my 400L is 2017/2018 instead of 2019/2020, So they wanted me to upload a new one. So I used that opportunity to go through the transcript.
I saw they inputed the wrong grades too
But the school no fit know that one
So I told crescent to correct the year for 400L and also correct the grades. I sha uploaded a new one
Now the school reached out saying they noticed some discrepancies such as change of grades by comparing my old transcript with the new one i uploaded.
They sent a mail saying they need my official transcript sent to them by my school.
They have sha sent it

N.B: I finished with a CGPA of 4.44 in Economics and I’m applying to Concordia university for M.A economics.

Do you guys think I still have a chance with this whole transcript issue

MJ1000:
Hello SOPWriter,

No, I'm not self-sponsored. My sponsor is my dad.
My birth certificate was included in the application.
It's a two-year program.
I'm not sure what you mean by the last question.

Thank you

Hello Lianna, hope you and yours are coping well over there.

In your own case (correct me if am wrong pls) you applied alone using your husband and child as part of your home ties right? After you travelled, you now applied for them. I guess that's what the poster did and I am preparing to do that too but when I saw her post, I became scared.

Can you throw more light on this because if we say our family was not going to accompany us and after landing, we apply for them, can that be seen as lying? Some people on living in Canada thread are saying so.

Depend on you Drama style.
