Hello everyone, I have the following questions:

1, I am married with 2 young kids but I applied alone. How soon after I land can I apply for my kids?

2, What visa type should I apply for? Visitors visa or open study permit? Kids are currently 5 and 7 years old.

3, How easy or fast is it to convert the kids visitors visa to study permit in Canada?

4, Husband doesn’t work in Nigeria. He needs to stay in the country he is working in to make money for I and the kids on moving to Canada. Question is, which visa type should we process for him cos he will be coming and going. SOWP can not work in this instance.

I will appreciate all the response I can get. Thank you all.

Hello mama

From my own point of view, i will advice you request for your notes to know about the further review they are requesting for.

mama12345:
Hello, please I got a reply from IRCC from an email I sent on 17th January, Please what does it mean? The response is below. I also got my third Ghost update today.

IRCC records confirm that your application was received on September 6, 2021, and is being processed at the Canadian visa office in Nairobi. Criminality checks and medical examination results are passed, however, further review is required before an eligibility decision is made. This means that the case is no longer straightforward and will, in most situations, lead to additional delays in processing. Once a decision has been made, officers will be in a position to determine next steps in processing.

Submission/AOR 6th September 2021
Medicals Passed 25th October 2021
1st Ghost update November (Not sure of exact date)
2nd Ghost update 24th January 2022
3rd Ghost update 19th February 2022

I already requested for my notes since January, they asked for another 30days, I am hoping by 4th March it would be out. I also sent them a mail via webform as well. I read on Canada Visa site, someone with thesame situation as mine did and they responded. This is the content of my email.

Upon enquiry into to the delay in my application through the office of Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, I came to know that my eligibility status has been put for further review required. So kindly please provide me the details of officer’s concerns so that I take timely appropriate steps to allay his/her concerns.

Pls order your gcms notes
This notes help yoi to know the main reasons of refusal.

Meanwhile make available the generic reasons of your refusal sent to your portal.

Hello mama

This exact message from IRCC comes on rare occasions..

This simply means your application has been transferred to a Senior Visa officer by a Junior officer for further review before a final decision is made..

Now hope you didn't withhold any information at all from them, also hope you didn't submit conflicting documents.. Cos for them to have said your application isn't straightforward means there is something fishy, and they really wanna do their thorough investigation on your application which will lead to a further delay..

If truly you are truthful with your application and you didn't hide any information from them, then expect a positive decision from them..

The ghost updates just means they are actively on your case, nothing special..

It will end in praise if you were truthful with your application..

Peace

aizebe:

Its a bit funny, I had a friend who submitted same kind of documentaion and got her student visa.
I ask a friend to reach out to IRCC , as GCMS note will take forever.

mama12345:
I was 100% truthful in my application, I also added my police reports for both when I was schooling in England and the United States as well which they said was passed. I am assuming the reason is because of Change of name on my documents perhaps. I have always applied for all my Visa's myself without using any third party because I don't want people putting a wrong information. I am believing for a positive response.

Thank You

aizebe:
GCMS notes takes forever these days. So I asked a cousin to use the MP help me get my application notes.

As I urgently want to reapply . My resumption date is suppose to be in may.

In the general refusal letter,

1. was tie in canada and home
2. fund

But MP reply gave some detail.

makano:
Good to know @bolded

Now these countries you mentioned and other countries you visited, hope you obeyed their immigration rules, hope you didn't overstay your permit in these countries..

Canada shares information with these countries, so they are probably getting information about your immigration status in these countries and if you totally obeyed their rules or not..

Also Change of name shouldn't be an issue so far you summited the documents to proof the change of name. i.e Affidavit of change of name form a State High court and also Newspaper publication.. Except you didn't submit these documents though...

Since you said you were 100% truthful in your application, then be positive, it will end in praise..

Peace

VonVictor:
Good day house.

Please I have a question. This is the scenario. I have a 21k funding out of which 16k is my tuition leaving me with 5k for living expenses. Now I don't have money, neither does my parents. My uncle on the other hand has money and would be willing to help. My question is
1. when stating how I will be sponsored, should I say myself/parents or say others.
2. would it be better my uncle sends like 3 million to my dad and then my dad sends the 3 million to me with a gift deed. But I don't show his account so they don't see the lumpsum deposit.
3. Would it be better I just use my uncle with his bank statement and he sends me the 3 million with a gift deed and other documents?

If you have a better solution please feel free to state it. @makano @ketima @technix I would also appreciate your kind inputs as well. Thank you.

mama12345:
I definitely obeyed the rules. I am a lawyer by profession so integrity is very important to me. Even after studying there, I still have Valid tourist Visa for both countries on my passport including Schengen Visa as well and I included them in my application. I however changed my name twice, from my maiden name to my spouses name then back to my maiden name. I included the affidavits, news paper publication and order absolute from the court as well. Maybe they are worried because of my place of birth/state of origin (Northeast Nigeria) Lol

DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED
PROOF OF FUNDS
SOLE SPONSOR - UNCLE
6MONTHS BANK STATEMENT
CAC of his company
Landed properties
passport bio data
Survey of his landed properties
Memorandum and article of association of company
Certificate of occupancy of landed properties
Waec results

Secondary school transcripts
Letter of recommendation from my school
Letter of volunteer at an hospital
Letter of sponsorship
Letter of consent from my parents
Letter of acceptance
Pictures with my sponsor
Picture with my sponsor and parent
Awards from school including that I was the head girl

Note : my gcsmnotes I ordered stated insufficient proof of third party sponsorship . I came to nairaland to ask for what I should do . I was asked to act fast on it because it is very close to a refusal but God doesn’t fail. Nairaland gurus told me to fire back using email and webform this thing actually works most important the general webform which make you know that they have received your enquiry.
*Letter of explanation explaining the relationship between I and my sponsor why he would what to sponsor me .
*I stated that his children are grownups and successfully established in their careers so he doesn’t have major financial responsibility towards them
*birth certificate of my grand uncle and my grandma,
*family tree,
*old pictures of my grand uncle and grand ma ,
*recent pictures of my grand uncle and I on my Graduation day
*Receipt of my full year tuition fees,
*stating that GIC account will be created for me once my visa is approved
Also, all glory and honour to God that made this possible because this application is far from perfect . “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:5‬ ‭NIV‬.
With prayer and fasting the application was approved. Also , trust God while waiting because I was so discouraged when I come to nairaland and I see most application with uncle sponsorship are not approved even those with same surnames talk less of me that it is grand uncle with different surname from mine.
I told God that I want my application to be different with this grand uncle sponsorship. I want to give a testimony of grand uncle sponsorship because what’s impossible with man is possible with God.
Also, while waiting try to distract yourself from thinking of it because it really affects one’s mental especially. The waiting period is not easy but it will be easier if you have faith in God . I joined NLP by pastor b which made me closer to God and speak to God about my application.
In the mighty the name of God , those that are planning to submit their application and people waiting for a decision to be made on their application they will get a positive decision very soon in Jesus name because mark 11:24 “That what ever you ask in prayers believe you have receive it and it is yours”Also ,remember “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11‬ ‭.
Thank you so much nairalanders always answering my questions especially @ makano , @scott9ish , @anon123 , @liana2020 @justmellow ( who said he his looking forward to my testimony here is it ) and others that I forgot to mention .I really appreciate. I hope this helps someone.

Nickoko:
This is super fast. Did you apply from Nigeria ?

You did not state reason(s) for the rejection. You will need to apply for a Gcms note to get a more accurate reason why your application was refuse and it was help to provide a better guide in your next application which would lead to approval, God willing.

If I may ask, when did your eligibility start? I have never seen application completed in less that 2weeks like yours.

Congrats Ekulu

You put your trust in God and he didn't fail you, all glory to God..
