Greetings house.
How long does it take for IRCC to acknowledge medical result sent to them via webform.
They requested for my medical and I already uploaded it since 10 days ago.
Should I be patient or take any action?

I applied Jan 16 for Sowp. I got refused today based on POF. What are the next steps to take. Previous POF was 10m naira. I still have a running visitors visa for myself and my son and 10m naira POF. What are the next steps to take. Thanks for your support always

evansky:
Is your spouse still in Nigeria? Did you submit documents to backup your funds?

oklarlexzy:
Spouse in Canada, 2nd semester. Gift deed of 10m naira by my sister, her statement of account. All submitted

Betterlife2018:
Can someone please help with this refusal reason.

My sister is confused. She works in the family business as a doctor and also a director on the biz.

Any idea to tackle this. She applied for open work permit. Her spouse is a student.

Please help.

evansky:
Order for GCMS note to know the actual reason for the denial. 10m for two people considering the exchange rate is small.

Ogbigog:
You most you can do is to email them again and again till they acknowledge your medicals submission but aside that there is nothing else you can do.

Betterlife2018:


It is testimony time.

She reapplied with more document about sources of her funds and the application was approved today.

More documents included

1 year bank statement for the company's account
Gift deed from husband for all the funds he transferred to her
Letter from the family business that she is one of the directors and does not get regular salary but husband gives her money from time to time

Explanation on the nature of the business
Business invoices and receipts

Application submitted Dec 23 , 2023

Approval March 4 , 2024

God be praised.

oklarlexzy:
What is the best POF amounts to use? Also does the free GCMS note work or I should use the paid version. Thank you for your response so far.

evansky:
I suggest you should aim at 12k CAD.
Go for both ASAP!

So sorry for the refusal, request for your notes to know the actual reasons.
Though, N10mm is small in the light of recent changes to rate and living expenses.

Hi everyone, Please your opinion is urgently needed, seeing people being refused for POF, could this be as a result of the naira depreciation please ?

Submitted 19th January, for family of 5 with 55m, which is about 85kCAD then but checking now value is slightly less than 50kCAD. Do I need to top it up and send them a new POF please ? Or alternatively, got fund in foreign currency upto 20k CAD balance but not sure it’s upto 4months in the account untouched, could this be added as additional/top up please ?

Or can I print the conversion / exchange rate as at the time I submitted and send to them via web form?

Note: I have a monthly salary in foreign currency which I have sent updated payslips for January and February, 2024 to them via web form, is this enough to show that the depreciation in the fund would not be a problem ?

Your opinion will be highly appreciated.

Bobomaigida:


Please have you paid tuition partly or in full? The POF required for LE for a family of five is CAD$43,492, so your balance should cover for this. You can send the additional docs to them, but it might delay the processing as they will need to confirm the docs.

samsamme:
Thanks, yes paid 50% of the tuition

Chinook is being used to process applications. In order for the Chinook to aid in the mass decision making, some flag indicators are assigned to applicants from some countries. One of the flag indicators assigned to Nigeria currently is the early spousal sponsorship. The truth there is that they don't believe all those big bank statements we are presenting to them due to the activities for some Nigerians who were given study permits in the past. Many students were seen collecting food from the food bank. These are the people who told the IRCC that they have sufficient funds for feeding and living expenses with big bank statements. Their belief is that some of you don't have the money you claim that you have, hence the rush to bring your spouse into Canada so that he/she will be working to finance your studies. As it is now, submitting a SOWP while you student is in first semester is a red flag for Chinook to flag
