Are they complaining to you or have you housed or clothe any? If they come with nothing is none of your business so stfu.
It's better to suffer in Canada than to be slaughtered in Nigeria by bandit.

Maria96:
this is one example. If you go on Nigerians in Canada instagram page there are more. If you choose to come to Canada as a student. Come with at least half of that POF. Some of the ladies have resorted to semi olosho work( sex in exchange for accommodation).

chrisifeanyi:


Why are you there? Come back naa

Maria96:
i’m not a student. I’m a citizen and have a job. No one is saying dont come. Just come with enough money jobs have been scarce for students this year. Shalom

chrisifeanyi:


What of someone with SOWP? Is there job? Can the person stay for four months without job?

MarksmanD:
People are staying 1 year in Canada without jobs. I mean permanent residents. I have friends, ex-colleagues who are permanent residents in Canada and they have all complained. Bros, if you don't have money for the Proof of funds, please don't go there. The cost of living is very high. That was why Canada increased the POF to 20k. Of course, it's better place than Nigeria, but prepare yourself mentally to face a completely different system with no jobs and high cost of living. To japa good, but to japa with a plan and enough money is the best. I had to mentally prepare myself before I decided to enter this study visa route.

chrisifeanyi:


Imagine stayinf for one year without job. That means Nigeria is better naa. No how person no go fit see job for naija even if na small pay. What is the heck about travelling to Canada then? Is there any thing to be happy about? If I come with enough money, is there hope of job eventually or should we all boycot travelling to Canada? So I fit still come with wifey under SOWP she no go still see job? How we go take take care of kids naa? If I finish my money in six months or 1 year how do we cope naa? Is there anything to be cheerful about Canada? Everything I dey hear from you guys dey scary I swear. Wetin be the solution? Do we now have to come with money for the two years study and expenses and forget about job in Canada? Is it as bad as this? Haaa

They did

JMG12:
That wasn't the problem you had multiple lump sum unexplained and probably didn't back it up with documents and your sponsor's source of funds probably was not documented or convincing enough, if you want to reapply kindly explain the lump sum and proof the source of funds of your sponsor.

MarksmanD:
I hope you know that the study visa you got is attached to only Conestoga College. If you want to change schools, you need to reapply for a new study visa? Also, I think you can't get a full refund from Conestoga if you decide to withdraw from the program voluntarily. You can only get a full refund if you get a visa refusal(confirm from refund policy). Why don't you just go to Canada and work your way into EE, and then bring your spouse when you get the PR?

my case will be different sir, God wont fail me 😇

Daaaz0409:
Thank you for your response, my dad actually sold one of his properties. The payment was made in tranches. 10,10 and 15m for three days. I included the sales agreement when submitting my application. How else can I prove the property was actually sold. The 45m has been in his account for the past 2 months now and I’m planning to reapply ending of the month. Should I ask him to send the money to my own account and do an affidavit then maybe I can get the Mybankstatement thing? Your input will be highly appreciated

Hi Flakky26,

1. Professionally, I wouldn't advise them to present expired passports at IOM, as the documents are now invalid.

2. Yes, the processing time includes weekends.

3. Weighing their circumstances, I would recommend they email IRCC for an extension, explaining their passport situation, and then proceed to IOM to do the same. This will reveal their available options. (IOM will likely conduct the examination for them.)

4. PCC requirements vary by individual circumstances, but it is mostly optional for TRVs. Therefore, it is not mandatory if they have no criminal records and haven't lived outside Nigeria for more than six months in the past ten years.

5. After their medical examination is received by IRCC, it can take some days to a few weeks before they receive their final decision.

Wishing the grandparents good luck with their applications.

JMG12:
That is good, but you have no proof of how your dad earned the 45M that has been in his account for the past 2 months, or the source of his finance.

Yeezy24:
Please has anyone faced this.

I applied for study permit with wife and children TRV.

My Study permit is approved, family TRV is still pending. Not sure what I need to do

KINGTELLER:


The officer is being stupid, most of the temporary resident visa officer dont follow IRCC procedural guideline and policy that guides them on what criteria they should considered while rejecting or granting visa application. They act on applicant's visa application, mostly especially for people from our continent, with disdain.

There is no where in IRCC guidelines where it is stated that a sponsor must show their source of income flow aside presenting the bank statement or other acceptable proof of fund for the visa application. It is all due to our oversabi, they have now taken it as a norm to act beyond their jurisdiction looking for what is not lost to deny visas.

Imagine a VO rejecting a visa application because sponsor didnt want to show his salary account in accordance to the freedom of protected personal information privacy act of Canada, even though the sponsor clearly demonstrated their income via their other bank statement alongside with their employment letter, payslip, reference letter from employer which is also one of the govt agency in Canada. The slowpoke VO denied a visa because "sponsor refuse to show their "source" of PoF fund which is the sponsor's salary account bank statement" ignoring their own IRCC procedural guideline and policy which states:


"...A temporary resident visa application will not be refused just because the host’s personal information is not provided with the application... "_

ibcircuit:
Hello please,


I don't know if this can be a red flag for me . On my BVN my name is arranged such that the middle name is in place of my surname , and that is what is shown on my bank statement and probably my police report . On my passport and educational documents the arrangement is correct .The spellings are all correct though . Can this have any issues at canada embassy ?

Please, I need everyone’s help. I want to submit my application and I want to know

1.if I can use my Naira Mastercard to pay for the application fee. I use Gtbank.

2. Is there any charges apart from $235 Cad in my account while paying for the application fee?

Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.

sternakin:

Having read through posts and comments, I want to believe it's pertinent for visa applicants to pay attention to POF, source of fund on account and home tie.

In the recent time, about 65% of refusal is coming as a result of inadequate POF or failure to convincingly
explain the source of POF especially with sudden heavy deposit into your account, more to that 35% of denials were based on insufficient assets/home ties.

It can be so painful that an applicant will get denied after spending so much, even on POF due to unexplained source of the fund backed with proper verifiable documents.

.........

Therefore, it not all about including landed property title documents only in your application, you need additional document that tells the current monetary worth of the property(ies) and would also demonstrate how the property(ies) will motivate your departure after your study or vacation and how you plan to utilise the property(ties) upon your return home. VERY IMPORTANT!!!

That vital document you need is a valuation report. Valuation report is a document prepared by a firm of registered Estate Surveyors & Valuer.....So, it can also be used as proof of additional source of income as the case may be

Above all ensure you have enough accessible fund on account before you landed in Canada as you might be required to show your balance at the point of entry or else you can be sent back home and if you're fortunate to scale through, life could be difficult if you don't have enough.

Remain Blessed
