here's the feedback:


[b]Our office inquired with IRCC regarding the status of name’s application. IRCC confirmed with our office that the application was received on January 15, 2022 and is currently processing at the Canadian Visa Application Centre in Nairobi, Kenya. IRCC let our office know that the criminality and medical assessments have passed. IRCC informed our office that the medicals on file are valid until February 22, 2023. Furthermore, IRCC informed us that the eligibility assessments are currently under review. Our contacts at IRCC let us know that no further documentation or information is required of Funmilayo at this time. Rest assured, should they require further action from Funmilayo, IRCC will reach out directly.



We understand name is set to commence classes in the beginning of May. Should she have any supporting documentation and/or a letter of explanation regarding the urgency of the situation, she is welcome to provide our office with any attachments she believes are relevant, and we will forward them to IRCC on her behalf. Should she choose to do so, please ensure any attachment(s) provided do not exceed the maximum file size 4MB. Please note, we cannot guarantee that this will result in expedited processing and/or a positive outcome.



With that said, our office will continue to monitor the status of the application, and provide you with updates as they become available to us.

Please be sure to keep our office informed of any updates Funmilayo may receive from IRCC directly.



We hope this information is of assistance.[/b]


Omo Nawa.

please how many days did it take the mp to get this update from IRCC?

Oh Lord make ASSU call off their strike ooo...WES had issues with my transcript when I applied for course by course evaluation, school is closed to even send official transcript and Crandall is saying they can't accept student copy of my transcript.

This country is just tiring. Almost 2 months now ASSU strike . God please intervene

I am curious about this process ,what is the reason they are not starting eligibility review for some people and how long on the average would one really have to wait for it ?

Hello good evening everyone , I'm on the verge of applying for my second application with the use of the new IRCC portal , please is it 100% safe to use and would you recommend for someone that has previously used the normal route?
- I will really appreciate if i can get the link to the portal
- Also is there any criteria to fit in ?
I await your inputs , thanks so much.

You still didn’t understand my angle but thank you so much for your response…

There's no minimal. Since the maximum is $10k, it's left to each person to plan, strategize well and use their discretion as to how much cash they should hold. I've seen people who traveled without holding 5naira cash (though, they printed their SOA for POF at the POE and held their Visa card for POS transactions) and I've also seen some who carried $9.9k in cash, so it depends on each person. There's no minimum, only a maximum.

Thanks.
I will just do $100.
No point wasting money with Aboki.

I will travel with my Master Card and print statement of account.

kennyjoy:


There’s no minimal amt, you can travel cashless so far your POF is available @POE, but it advisable to hold something as you might needed cash when you arrived. Me I only travel with $1000.

Ope oooooooooo.
Waiting for Teemenzo

KellyKk:
God !!!! I’m just lamenting today ooooo
Medical request at last !!!!

Nobody can categorically answer this. Only visa officers know how they choose to handle applications. And as it's been said multiple times before, eligibility can have started in the background but not updated.

Femiwap:
Please anyone knows if I can secure Msc admission to any canadian university with third class. I did Bsc pure and applied physics and I’m looking to do my Msc in any business or management course

No you can't apply for an MSC

You can only possibly get admission for a Physics related PG.CERT program in a College (based on your Academic background if no study gap)

Or

a PG.Cert in Business Management program in a College under the condition your work experience is Business related

Merely paying part of the tuition fee doesn't 'necessarily' boost your chances of approval. You are mainly required to show that the overall fund is readily available and to address lump sum.

If your school doesn't require a tuition deposit, I won't advise paying deposit.

Iamgrac:
Good afternoon everyone,

Is it advisable to pay 10,000cad out of a tution fee of 33,000 cad
The reason I want to pay the tution fee, is the fear of being refused based on financial capability

Daslimo:
Hello Gurus, I just read that it is wise to declare all your bank statements which actually makes sense; however, I am a bit concerned:
I have a sufficient bank statement from Japan (over 60k CAD), a full scholarship from a Canadian school, 3 plots of land documents (inherited from my late dad), and barely 100k in a Nigerian Bank.

Should I include the 100k bank statement too?

I guess you are the guy doing PhD in Japan and want to go for another PhD in Canada. Please do well to convince the VO in your sop the reason why you want to go for another PhD in Canada when you have already started a PhD in Japan. A guy in China doing a PhD was refused on the basis of intent. The VO was like why going for another PhD when you have already started a PhD in China?. Goodluck!!!

Hello Holuwatoyin

I don't think this is true.. No school have personal agents for Visa Processing..

Some schools like Fanshawe have agents for just admission purpose but not Visa Processing...

Peace

Holuwatoyin201:
Good afternoon to my brothers in the house,
@makano, @ketima & other gurus,
Pls I would like to know is Conestoga college have their personal agent which they use in visa processing, I was informed the school has some agent they use for visa processing for their student.

Thank you, as I await your response.

Scott99tish:

Travelling with liquid cash of just $100 dollars might be too little for your immediate needs except you already have it sorted out how you can get cash from other sources pending when you are able to withdraw from the bank. Maybe within the range of $800 to $1500 might be okay becuase you never can tell the immediate expense you will meet. But you will know better regarding your plans.

I thought to give you heads up.

Hello Lamgrac

Even though payment of school fees doesnt guarantee study permit approval, it increases your chance of getting your application approved because paying of school fees tells the Visa of the applicant's commitment to his or her proposed study in Canada..

When paying the Fees, make sure you let the Visa officer know that you have more than enough funds for your studies and living expenses all through your stay in Canada..

My brothers and sisters,

Does Canada accepts GIC from micro finance as a POF for student visa?

GIC is done with a Canadian bank but you have to fund it via your personal Dom acct.
So yes, if you have a Dom account with a micro finance bank in Naija, you can use that to fund your GIC account.

Belle110:
Omo, I am resuming May 2 and my app has not shifted from eligibility review. Tears>> I have even lost focus on some things, once I wake up every morning like this, it is just PPR on my mind. I just want a decision abeg... so I can focus on other aspects of life.

Which school

Well, I have a partner there. Not searching for accommodation as a bigger accommodation for us has been secured.

She’s coming to pick me.
So I don’t need any cash. That’s why I’m trying not to waste money that I won’t need.

Hi,

You are mixing two (2) things together…

GIC - Guaranteed Investment Certificate is a Canadian investment that offers a guaranteed rate of return over a fixed period of time.
A layman meaning, Opening a fixed account in Canada from here as they issue you a certificate to use as evidence of having the money fixed over there in Canada for the use as they will be giving you at intervals. They have some banks over there that offer GIC.

Talking of Micro-finance, You want to show your funds for SOA (Statement of Account) So don’t mix it with GIC.

Yes you can use Microfinance, subjected that it’s a verifiable source…

Regards.

Hello Jeffi7

Not sure if anyone had answered you but let me add this,
Upkeep through bank? Not sure what that means in bank terms but you can always apply for PTA any amount not exceeding $4k, you can just do $1k and in 2-3weeks (depending on bank) you will get it once you have your Visa you can apply for it, either way, will advice you just hold few box of cash Naira or US and change at the airport (Please do not change large amount, cause their rates are ridiculous compared to how much Canada Banks will change USD to CAD for you), you can also do aboki for few 100 box, once you get a CAD bank account, you can move funds using apps (Lemonade, Exchanger etc) to your account easily and at convenient rates.

Jeffi7:

PLS WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF GETTING UPKEEP THROUGH THE BANK

2. IS IT DIFFERENT FROM PTA?

3. HOW DO ONE QUALIFY FOR UPKEEP ?



Apply for upkeep through the bank.
