Anyone can help give an answers to my questions please..... Good day everyone and compliments of this great seasons. Please I would appreciate if anyone could help give a clear answers to this my question.
I have a bachelor's degree in political science (second class upper) but currently working with a Fintech firm (Technical operations dept) for the past five yrs
Questions:
1. Do I apply for a program related to my current work experience?
2. Am considering to apply for a masters degree in political science since I already had a first degree in pol science but my concerns is that wouldn't the V.O see this as a Red flag
3. Programs I have seen so far related to my work experience are all Diploma and certificate's program of 1yr won't this be seen as a Red flag from the V.O if I choose to option for this having known I already have bachelor degree and then switching to a diploma or cert program which is lower than the already acquired degree.

Please your directions will be much appreciated. Thanks

Order for a GCMS NOTE, and in your next application don’t use the new portal, the new portal is operated by bots, and they’re likely to refuse visa’s

Bobomaigida:


It will be better to address it as a sub topic, this will help push it out to the VO to see and take note, but ensure you are addressing it based on your GCMS notes.

Bobomaigida:


Sorry Skills, Your application did not pass the background checks imo. Without prejudice to what the GCMS notes will contain (Apply for CBSA GCMS notes immediately) check the issues below

1. What kind of scholarship are you referring to? Was it from the school or another body? If there was scholarship, why are you paying tuition?
2. How dependents do you have?
3. Do you have unexplained lump sums in your account?
4. How did you structure your SOP?
5. Did you send MBS or normal statement?

Share yours answers then we can build on these, but sharply apply for the notes. This is just a bump, we go again.

Hello everyone

Who has experienced this issue with UBA bank and his soon was it treated?

All responses will be appreciated, thanks.

phreedhom:
I don't think it has any thing to do with the portal. It also happened to my friend who used the old portal. She still have her school fees pending on form A and attached the evidence but was refused. She then reapplied 3 days after the rejection attaching the fee receipt that already went through, did a table of contents for her docs, attached my bank statement again and also did a table to explain her financial capability, explained all lump sum in her Loe etc. Application was approved 11 days after she reapplied and 14days after the first rejection.

That said, I will be available to answer questions from new nairalanders coming to Montreal QC. feel free to reach out.

Thanks and happy new year.

Bobomaigida:


I think the VO does not understand the scholarship, probably they expect that the money should have been paid to the school directly. What I will advise is
1. Wait for the form to be processed so that the school will have the full tuition, then you can upload the tuition receipt.
2. Get all documents related to the scholarship and add to your next application if you did not add it before.
3. In your LOE in the next application, have a POF table and plug the sources of funds and the expenses they will cover.
4. Sometime ago there a post here that said IRCC sometimes do not give much credence to funds saved in MFBs, (this is not to scare you) what you can do is get a reference letter from them to state that the funds are readily available to you or liquidate the investment and buy USD at the parallel market and buy GIC and show that for living expenses.

MrSkills2:


Okay thanks alot bro.

Please do you know why the application was processed with such speed? because i hear people waiting for months before approval.
then secondly i dont know how to order GCms notes and i need more light on that.

Thanks Alot

Bobomaigida:


If the sponsor has the funds to sponsor two persons, then it is okay. It is dicey for a sponsor to use same funds to try to sponsor two people, cos there is a chance that it might be found out.

Yumamm:
I should have dropped this earlier but the festivities and the magnitude of the joy of receiving PPR for my Spouse and my Son carry me go where I no know.

This whole Japa of a thing started late 2021 when some of my Spouse friends started moving to the United Kingdom. She even got admission into one of the Universities in the Uk before she changed her mind that we should try Canada instead. However, I have already developed an interest in migrating to the Uk after I discovered many of my folks are there already as well. Moving forward, we contacted an agent based in Canada to help in securing an admission for her and packaged her application but Omo, the cost was too enormous. We later got the admission through him but I had a change of mind after I came across this thread. Although to be honest, I am not good at writing so attempting Her SOP would be a disaster, Hence I contacted Mr. Frank of F&R GLOBAL to handle the application and that was the best decision I took in the year 2022. I did my background check for weeks on Mr. Frank which came out PASSED before we proceeded into the full business. There was this statement from Mr. Frank when we were talking via the phone on that blessed morning. " He said if I collect your money and block you, the police will be running after me, I won't have time to attend to other clients" I can assure you working with this man has been a blessing to my entire family because of his professionalism and humility.

My Spouse & Son Study permit Timeline:

First time Applicant!!!

Travel history: UAE.

Application Submission date: 1st of Sept,2022

Biometric date: 6th of Sept,2022 Updated same day.

Upfront Medicals date: 22nd of September and Updated on the 29th of September, 2022 after few Messages and webforms sent to Nairobi.

Eligibility Review :15th December, 2022.

PPR for Mother and Son: 28th December,2022.

Furthermore, I sent a lot of messages and webforms chai... I was following the protocols of not spamming them with messages even after the application have past the 12 weeks standard processing time. But when I read @rexokemute story, Omo I started firing messages and webforms to ROME,BEIJING,LAGOS,LONDON,ABUJA,NAIROBI,RROC and even the Main IRCC. In fact I was so tense that I even sent one message unconsciously on Saturday to NAIROBI and that was when I received the scary warning message from Nairobi to withhold my messages or else...Omo my heart beats heavily and I could not even inform my wife about it because she has already stylishly warned me not to bombard them with emails. I stopped messaging them instantly lol.

I noticed the Eligibility review started for both of them immediately after the main IRCC forwarded my webform message dated 14th of December, 2022 to Nairobi, because I could see that from the warning message they sent to me on the 17th of December,2022, That must have triggered the officer in charge to open up the files. I think sending webforms and messages to other processing offices helps more than bombarding the primary office alone because it seems they acknowledge there's more. ROME IMMIGRATION OFFICE provided me some information indirectly by replying and forwarding my messages to NAIROBI.

To Everyone expecting PPR, Please do not give up, be hopeful and try as much as possible to ignore negative thoughts, it will drop sooner than expected

Winnerpoks:

No offense sir but you can. Check online for schools and come back here to ask for advice between the schools you've made enquiry about.

Bobomaigida:


IRCC recently employed new staff, so new applications are being treated faster, while they are clearing old applications. That is why processing time has dropped from 12 weeks to 9 weeks, if they keep up with this pace we should expect 1 month processing. For the CBSA notes reach out to ANON123 on this forum, he can help you out or search on google to get the orgs that can request for you. You can share the notes with me so we put our heads together on it after you get it.

Bamz555:

Pls what and what is required from such a sponsor? Let’s say he has enough money to do so. Is it just d sponsorship letter nd his SOA?
