What was the generic refusal reason?

Request for your GCMS notes to get the exact reasons.

Queenslee:


I have an HND in public administration

I'm looking at PGD in Social work or Transport Administration

I'm looking at Ontario or Calgary.

How do I know which school or college supports PGWP and what's DLI?

You can get DLI schools from the IRCC website. You can check it out.
Also, use google to get some of the information you need.

Yes that's what I mean. Thanks so much for your response.
What about if I'm passing through London, that's 2 stops (Doha and then London), do I need transit visa?

Anyone here who submitted their application since January and haven’t gotten any response up till now ?

Hello please does anyone know how long it takes for the GCMS notes to come out I applied for mine on the 11th of may and I was given a temporary tracking number so when should I expect to receive the note if you’ve been in such situation please 🙏

Please which is more convenient to convert usd to cad when in Canada?

Usd in dollar card or usd as cash?

Bro you don't even understand what he is talking about. He is saying when you enter Canada with a visit or tourist visa, you can't stay beyond 6 months stretch. You have to leave the country and come back later. Infact if you stay 6 months exactly and return back less than a year, you will be seriously scrutinized at the point of entry on your mission.

That doesn’t apply to everyone ok. Some people have good social status and are financially stable. Immigration aren’t tough on them ok. I know exactly what I’m saying. Not everyone is trying to japa or looks suspicious

Pls, help me.

Bros I have an aunt who got Canada10yrs visit visa even US does it. Visit visa is not limited to 6 months, that alone is my disagreement, I don’t know about anyone working with visit visa so no comment on that. But u can get over six months visit visa

@zubizareta thank you for your expantiation:

I think I may be able to make @Bamz555 understand better.

@Bamz555
I will tell you here with 100% confidence that irrespective of your financial or social status, you cannot stay for more than six months at once on a visitor visa without becoming illegal.

If you want to dispute this, kindly name one person with evidence who has successfully stayed beyond 6 months at one visit on visitor visa without being declared illegal.

@Bamz555
I need to make you understand how visitor visa works. If you apply for a visitor visa, you will be issued a 2-year or 5-year visa: during this 5 years, you can only stay for 6 months at one visit and go back to your country or elsewhere, you must wait for another 6 months outside of Canada before you can visit again to spend another six months.

If you maintain good use of the visa without abuse and after five years when the visa must have expired, you will be issued 10 year visa on reapplication. This is how you will be coming to spend 6 months at a time until you exhaust the 10 years.

This is how it is for the US visitor visa too.

People do get Canada visitor visa and a visitor visa in the US, the UK or Europe; when they stay for 6 months in Canada, they will travel to either the US, the UK or Europe to spend another six months. This is how they will be shuttling it which will make them seem they don't come back to Nigeria at all.

Your aunt had once got 5 years visitor visa and she has been abiding by the conditions of the visa, this is why she got another 10 years. You may want to ask your Aunt how she does it for better understanding.

Another possibility is your aunt may not even be on visitor visa when you are thinking she is still operating on a visitor visa.

I hope you understand.

Yes I have identified a few schools. Colleges to be precise.

I guess that's the first step. Choosing a program of study, a program pathway (Postgraduate Diploma) and focusing on an entry window (Winter 2024)

Muslimahxo:
Hello everyone,

So a little backstory, my sister, brother and my mother are already permanent residents of canada and my mum submitted a sponsorship application for me and my dad. This was in 2020, there was the pandemic so they didn't start processing it till 2021. Around July or August 2022 we sent a webform to IRCC because we weren't receiving any updates(it was a paper application), we called IRCC but they just kept saying its still in process.

September 15 2022, me and my dad got an email to do medicals, and then a week or so later we got another email to submit some additional documents(police report, proof of relationship, educational certificates). In this same email they said, "You have 30 days from the date of this letter to submit additional information so that we may continue processing your application. Please note this will be the ONLY opportunity we will provide for you to submit additional evidence. Your application will be assessed in 30 days and the final decision will be based on the evidence on file at that time. If you choose not to respond with additional information, a decision will be made based on the information on file, which may result in the refusal of your application". We submitted everything.

When i saw that they had requested for medicals and decision will be made in 30 days i was like okay i can even start preparing to move here so i applied to some schools, and mind you when i was applying i wasn't thinking about it from an international students perspective (although i did apply as an intl student hoping to change status soon) so i didn't exactly go for the cheapest school, domestic fee was like $7k so it wasn't bad. I got admission to one of the schools for fall 2023 in February, but the matter of study permit didn't come up because everyone was thinking oh there's still time.

We tried checking the application status online but it wouldn't login, up until about 3 weeks ago when my brother randomly tried and it worked, okay o now we have access. The last thing that was written there "Medical results have been received", nothing about the other documents we submitted.

Now May is almost over, webforms have been sent, still no word. Now we're thinking of going the study permit route but the international fee for this school is $32k, plus the $10k that is required, i didn't even bother converting to naira to see what it is, cause i don't know where the money will come from. I only found out about the GCMS notes last week and i told my sister to request for it, apparently it takes a month, anyway its not like we can do anything else but wait. I'm just holding onto the hope that God can make a lot of things happen between now and when i have to enroll.

I'm not sure what advice i'm seeking but any would be appreciated, especially if anyone has been in this type of situation before.
Thanks.

For the cost difference between domestic and international student, I would defer the admission and wait till winter intake.

Another possibility is your aunt may not even be on visitor visa when you are thinking she is still operating on a visitor visa.

I hope you understand.

I want to correct the place you mentioned the length of visit visa issued. Visit visa is simply issued according to the validity of your biometrics and your passport. Even if you are a first time applicant, once you have a biometrics validity of 10 years and a 10 years passport, if your visa is approved, you will get the 10 years. It's simple. If you have a passport validity of 10 years and biometrics validity of 1 year, your visit visa will be for 1 year.

Lol. The law is the law. Nothing like social status. Once you are on a visit visa, you only stay 6 months straight. Only on special unique cases you apply for extention beyond the 6months and your case will be treated to see if you have legit reasons to stay beyond 6 months on a visit visa

Who is the sponsor to you and how did you prove your relationship with him.
Also was the sponsor acct a business acct?
The issue will also likely be from your SOP

I'm interested in answers too for knowledge sake.

Should the sponsor's account be personal or business??
