Congrats bro.

Please when you said you were sending emails and webforms requesting to update your biometrics, are you saying your biometrics number and validity is showing but under the biometrics, it's showing they need your biometrics instead of showing biometrics completed on so so date?

Hello Greenwisher,

The officer was right to conclude about the correlation of the proposed study to your work experience. If an applicant has been out of school for a while, the proposed program should relate to the work experience domain. It is good to read you have switched study to the business field, an all-encompassing study.

The hints below are critical to placing your application favorably on the officer's table. Focus on:

• showing POF amounting to NGN 10m above excluding tuition. If a term deposit is certain, provide proof and explanation but try as much as you can to avoid any lump sum inflows;

• paying your first-year tuition. As a re-applicant, it is advised to do everything best to convince the officer of having sufficient and available funds;

• setting up a GIC or if you are expecting any lump sum, fix it in a fixed deposit for a duration close to the study commencement, to cater to your LE;

• establishing a reliable and stable economic source(s) of income and investments. Include evidence and your savings bank account(s), et al.

• importantly, draft a good SOP to help the officer understand your study intent and the significance of the study, especially in Canada. Then use an LOE to address the officer's concerns in the notes. If you think you will need adequate assistance with the letters, reach out to GCMSWriters on IG, Twitter, or Telegram. So many testimonies from previous applicants.


Success is all I wish You!

Victoriousbabe2:
I saw your response, there was nothing wrong or rude about what you said, sometimes the way people read meaning to words doesn't exactly sound that way when you are standing face to face with the person. I actually laughed when I read your response @ "just remove English teacher"

Second time applicant
July 23rd applicant
Reasons
am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as required by
paragraph R216(1)(b) of the IRPR (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/
section-216.html). I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will
leave Canada, based on the following factors:
• Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel
for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable.




My Second application was a lot stronger than thr first. My first application was weak and I knew. Reasons for my first refusal was ; I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at thr end of your stay.

All those awaiting ppr may God do it for you.

I give up

Let me cry In peace

Hello, what do you mean by pof maturing? Is there a duration you’re meant to have the pof for?

Frankielilbaby:

If you have money to start the UK Visa process it will not affect your Canadian application. If a decision is made on your Canada application, all you have to do is let the UK government know with proof that you already started your UK Visa process before the decision that way they will understand you were not trying to hide and thing from them.

@matthew080,

You can respectfully send them mails and Webform pointing out that nothing has changed on your profile for 3 months.But please note that most times they work on the background without it showing.

You can also go for Medicals (upfront) to save you time instead of waiting for request.

I hope this helps.

Hello Cadygosh

I can see you are a great fan of the great works myself and my fellow knowlesgable people are doing here..

I intentionally had to take a break cos of the falseful information without evidences and negative atmosphere here during those times, I am not the kinda person that argues on a normal day, not to talk of arguing with faceless fellows here that I dnt even know how they look like real life..

I value my time so much cos as we all know Time is short, so instead of me arguing and trying to proof point here, I just replied the Jobless fellow once and that was it.. No time to be reacting to every stone thrown at me..

I just came online now to see close to a 100 Mentions, and I said to myself, While these Jobless peeps were talking ill of Makano here, Makano has been busy achieving a lot with his time, and I shook my head and said what a waste of time for these peeps..

Time is precious, a lot can happen withing minutes, so why waste your time on unnecessary talks and arguments.. Thas is the reason why you will never see me argue with anybody here, never.. I don't know how to waste my time..

Once again thank you Cadygosh for having my(our) back here, I wish you the best in all your endeavors..

I am back but may not be really active here... I will keep doing what I know how to do best (answering difficult questions here as regards study and spousal permit applications for free here)

Peace
