You're very naive.

All those people you quoted are agents -- business owners. To run their businesses, they need clients and they go where the money is. You can't expect them to be spending a bulk of their time here on Nairaland answering questions for free.

Everyone who answers questions here is valuable. Everyone. Even those who answer only a few questions. Even those who were rejected. Don't come here discouraging people from sharing the little they know or the wealth of knowledge they have just because they don't have years of experience. If answers are not accurate, others who know better will correct them.

Even those agents you quoted were once beginners. They weren't born with Canada immigration knowledge. They learned a lot from the previous threads.

You sef, how much have to contributed to this thread? How many answers have you given? Only 1.

I ignored your first post, but you just won't stop. If you want particular people to answer your questions, quote them in your questions and let us rest.

CharitoJames:


She may be waiting for eligibility to “show” but PPR will come instead. It happens a lot. Then eligibility will get updated same day as PPR

CharitoJames:


Charito see your name for red… Lmao

bepositive11:


True. That happens sometimes. I hope it's the case for her

perfectbecky:
I really don't know what's happening to my application, please everyone should just help me, my biometrics took 86 days to be updated, my application is over 15 weeks and nothing again. No eligibility, I have gone for upfront medicals and uploaded my e-medical sheet. I felt like the whole thing is dragging because of my biometrics delay cos it was stated on their website that your processing time starts after your biometrics is received.Do I need help with MPs? My province is British Columbia Vancouver. Please anything I can do to get answers, this is so draining.

Continuation of Putting it Out There..... fall out of discuss with applicant

Learning from visa refusal incident

Case study. Applicant anonymous

Visa decision: Refusal on the bases on no assets, financial funds insufficient
Applicant Profile: application packaged and filed by an agent
• Program applied for: Diploma in Business Administration
• Institution: College
• Previous educational background: BSc in Tourism & Hospitality Mgt. acquired in 2018
• Employment history: NYCS, and self employed entrepreneur (shop owner)
• Owns a fabric & clothing business for which taxes are paid & receipts evidence of transactions are available
• Sponsorship – family: uncle with over USD$21,000.00 as closing balance, SOA (MBS) submitted + affidavit of support
o Apparently Sponsor withdrew funds from account couple of days before decision was made
• Tuition Deposit: CAD$750.00 made by applicant’s spouse from spouse’s account
• Assets: no owned assets
• SOP drafted + applicants personal SOA submitted

Applicants Positio[/b]n:
• Refiring strategy: looking forward to reapplying with self & mother as co-sponsor

[b]Assessment
• course of proposed study aligns with undergrad credential & justified given applicant is an entrepreneur, however there is no demonstrable career progress given applicant is pursuing a diploma in business administration when prior credential well aligned with Biz. Admin (all social sciences).
• Issue: spouse paid applicant’s tuition deposit. This does not demonstrate commitment from supposed sponsor as presented by applicant.
• Agent should have advised applicant against submitted visa package with this profile. This goes to buttress the point that majority of agent out there are mostly not committed to applicants success, as it is simply business for them. Collect deposits, and leave you to your luck.
• Furthermore, inattentive agents may miss little loop holes and grey areas in you application which if you reviewed your submission yourself with enough information, you would have spotted and rectified.

Recommendation:
• The application can be repackaged and submitted with opportunity for success if issues are clearly addressed in the future.
• Sponsor should have paid initial study deposit (at least 1 session or 2 semesters) to demonstrate commitment and transfer Cost of Living Expense to applicants account. Another strategy is, sponsor transfers tuition to applicants account and payment is made by self with receipted evidences.
• Submit evidence to support relationship between applicant and sponsor as well as previous instance of support / obligations between sponsor and applicant
• Address any lump sums in sponsors account to demonstrate source of funds

Caveat: ayam not an agent, nor guru, nor SOP writter / reviewer. I simply evaluated the applicant's profile and strategy for success.
If you engage me privately, i will still summarise our discuss and bring it out here for learning opportunities. we must boost our PPR success rate and success factors should be open source information.

olokings:
they wouldn't have mentioned it as it wasn't the major strike, however, it impacted your assets & financial standing assessment as an unreasonable expense.

follow up on case study

the key issue was the lack of commitment from sponsor by having the spouse paying your tuition deposit. if applicant had demonstrated that the spouse got the money from your sponsor in the first instance, the application may have been successful. although i think that would have been a very slim chance.

do the following as recommended action for reapplication:
- apply for an Masters (preferably course based. or if you want scholarship, Thesis based will earn you that).
- have your sponsor, whether it is your mother or uncle transfer the money into your account or ... they should pay your 1st year tuition deposit, and transfer your living expense to you.
- if they have lump sums in their account, they should do well to explain their source of funds.
- add your own business and/or personnal account statement and explain your source of funds and any lump sumps deposits with evidence therein.
- rewrite your SOP. reference my earlier post on SOP tactics.

What can be done please? this option is like hanging in d air...please help

johnstan:


I don't know what the cost is in CAD. The hospital is in Nigeria so payment is in Naira and its around N46k - N48k, not certain about the exact cost at the moment.

Good morning. Please I need advice from the experts I started online class this May thinking my study permit will be out before September naw my eligibility just started and my school has withdrawn my admission saying I should reapply but when I tried reapplying my dashboard was saying deferral still in progress. What do I do and will it affect my visa chances. Thank you

bepositive11:


Thank you very much as always.

What do you think about this though. If someone gets rejected, is it better to revise their SOP or leave their SOP as it is and attach an LOE addressing VO's concerns? Do you think it makes a difference?

bepositive11:


Wow. Wishing me rejection? I hope you find light

olokings:
you should definitely revised your SOP and definitely ADD LOE to specifically address the issues which the visa officer raised in your GCMS notes.

the visa officer will make notes as per your eligibility review however, little things like i identified with regards to strategies and minor flags / issues with your application package may not find its way to your GCMS notes, which when cummulated may impact or sway the VOs decision. like that one about the tuition payment by the spouse wasn't a big issue. The GCMS notes may say that there is lack of commitment from sponsor, however, there may not be further clarification as to why the VO felt or perceived it that way. This kinda passive issues you address with your modified SOP.. while the main issues as spelt out in your GCMS you tack comprehensively with your LOE.

these are my take and personal views though.

lolathegenie:

oh no not at the airport
at the mall

MyVc:


Please, is studying Software Engineering Technology at Conestoga College in Canada with an optional Co-op a good prospect? The course is a three-year program.




Please, how demanding are Software Engineers in Canada and how easily can one get work while still schooling via the Co-op option, and also how easily can one get a job at the end of the program?




Finally; can one reside in Canada at the end of the program?




Thanks.

Nooooo, she made a self-deprecating comment, it was not referring to you at all.

Hello guys,
I have just been sent my new LOA from my school. It is till September 2023. I want to ask again, is there any need to inform IRCC or I wait till my application is approved. If approved, does it expire or is there a timeline for me to travel.

June 18th applicant.
Eligibility started 9th September

hammed71:
guys please i missed the tuition deposit payment deadline is there any way possible to still pay it

Frankrobbn1:


There will be no need sending the updated acceptance letter to IRCC since its a far resumption date. As for the duration, the visa will be valid untill the period of your program, so you can certainly be able to travel with it by next year.


It will end in praise
