Also, I think the VO made a mistake there. They are family of four but he put five, if am not mistaken, applicant, spouse and two minors.

@bobomaigida
@timeof god,

You are both correct. Is a family of four (PA, Spouse and two kids). I attached the mutual funds account though it was in my maiden name. but everything relating to name change was also attached.
Please how do i go about this reconsideration as the school too have given me till october 30th to change to a 20months masters becos of the prime ministers announcement. Please note my resumption is still next year april
please guide me

You can apply for a reconsideration using the Webform. Send a webform to them, explaining the errors the VO made and the document he missed. Write that your sister paying a full tuition already established your relationship. Also attached her birth certificate, passport, US visa or residency permit. All these can be attached in the Webform

Please I have a question

If the VO stated some reasons of refusal based on some documents, does that imply he/she is aligned with the other documents? Is there a wholistic review ?

Please can someone help clarify

Sorry about your refusal on the second attempt, would advise you to apply for a GCMS note and defer your admission if you have not done that.

Popson09:
Good day guys,
I just received my second refusal letter. Please I need your advice on how to tackle the reasons for my refusal. Attached is the letter from IRCC

Contact the school to request a new PAL. You don’t know if the school has reached its quota for 2024 (IRCC allocates the yearly quota to provinces, and the provinces apportion it to their educational institutions); moreover, you want to defer to a 2025 start date, which is likely not applicable to 2024 PAL.

This is it , do u think it can still be used after September 30.

Hi Please just follow Markmann's advice on the reconsideration.

It could mean they have accepted them or are indifferent to the documents

Hi Please just follow Markmann's advice on the reconsideration.

Please advise is it as a complaint now or that i want to add a document to my application.

I am assuming that you have paid tuition fees right!Yes you will need to submit POF but it is not like you will need to have all the required funds in the account as initial application outside canada..If you can have funds deposited in the account, it is not a big deal.

Won’t depositing the funds now be a red flag? Considering the fact that it will be coming As a lump sum…Your response is needed please

Payment of tuition fee and 21K GIC is acceptable. Still, if you choose this option, ensure you have funds for your flight ticket. Having said that, meeting the financial requirement without supporting documents as per the source of the funds could paint a different picture (intention to return) if your submission does not show strong ties in Nigeria. Note that financial buoyancy is a strong home tie, so document your assets, if any, and prepare an excellent financial table of your assets supported by a valuation report. Better still, get a net worth report from a Chartered Accountant. In this type of submission, the Vos can look at your application as a whole to make a decision. So, a well-articulated SoP showing solid ties in Nigeria is paramount. Also, the level of your involvement in the society can be used as a tie. So, if you belong to any social or religious group, get a letter stating you are an active member.

Hello Everyone,


I am planning to use $20k GIC certificate along with a loan to cover for my One year postgraduate certificate fees payment with a monthly repayments of $389.4 for 48 Months... I'm self sponsored and plan on stating on the LOE that my current Salary (N500,000) from where I'm currentoy Employed and Personal Business will cover for the Montly repayment while schooling in Canada...


Is this above a good strategy or should I pay full school fees and use pof to cover for the $20k cost of living for the Canada study visa... I'm avoiding this way because of the stress of explaining lump sums to the visa officer...

Please which of the options is better. Your feedbacks is highly needed, thank You

You can request a reconsideration if you believe that in assessing your application, the VO made an error in law or somehow erred; simply disagreeing is not a factor. For instance, you can request a reconsideration if a VO ignores a vital document. Remember, IRCC is not obligated to consider or respond to your request, though they can acknowledge receipt.

Based on your information, I can’t state whether you have sufficient funds as you did not mention your tuition fee and the program’s duration; they are required to determine fund sufficiency. Also, although your sponsor paid the tuition fee, she did not provide a bank statement (unless I missed this information in your post). For shared sponsorship, the co-sponsor must be specific with the cost of your education that she will be responsible for. Though you seem to have the documents, you may have done a poor job demonstrating the relationship and the sponsor’s commitment. You can address the latter by stressing that our sponsor paid your tuition fee and highlighting it in the bank statement.

The VO already mentioned the applicant, spouse, and two minors, so the “five” is likely a typo and should not be used as a ground for reconsideration or in judicial review; instead, the focus should be on sufficient funds and proof of relationship. You should reapply if you receive no reply after 10 business days. All the best.

Good morning Everyone,

Please friends and gurus in the house, kindly help. I submitted application for a family of 4. 4statement of accounts (GTBank (naira & Dom Acc) Zenith Acct and Stanbic Acct (Mutual fund Account containing N44.9m) which was in my maiden name. My Sister in law residing in US paid my school fees in full. I attached her work and yearly tax assessment, her birth certificate, change of name, marriage certificate and my home ties- my dad, landed properties. i attached my husband's statement of account his home ties about 4siblings in nigeria only one outside nigeria. Also have just one sibling in US too. please see my GCM Notes. How do i treat this with all my submission and am seeing processed with the assistance of chinook3+. can someone help me. i am very sad and weak because this refusal is baseless. The mutual fund was not even stated at all as if i did not attach it.

GCM NOTES FROM IRCC - BELOW
The applicant's assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel
for the applicant (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).

Applicant provided their bank statements with closing balances of USD 2,005: NGN 1,122,404 and
NGN 212,286

Applicant's sister-in-law (spouse's sister as per support letter) to financially sponsor. Beyond a
written indication, there is no other documentation substantiating the relationship between PA and
sponsor. No birth certificate provided for the applicant and sponsor. Family link could not be
established. Bank statements provided. Banking transactions show some seem funds available.
Financial information is not supported with sufficient evidence for the bank statement balances on
file. Limited evidence pertaining to the source on stated funds.

Applicant will be accompanied by spouse and two minor children. Applicant's most expenses are
being supported by the sponsor. Applicant's personal ability is very limited. I am not satisfied
applicant has sufficiently explained the relationship in a way that justifies the huge undertaking of
the sponsor to fund their expenses.

Considering the costs of living for the family of five in the intended destination including but not
imited to transportation, shelter, and food, I am not satisfied that there will be sufficient unhindered
funds or other financial means to support the proposed trip and initial settlement.

Tuition payment noted. Additional funds are required for living expenses.

Based on the documentation on file, and the limited information demonstrating the availability of the
funds, I have concerns that third party funds would be sufficient and available for the proposed
studies. Therefore, I am not satisfied that applicant has sufficient and available financial resources to
pay the tuition fees for the program of studies that they intend to pursue and to pay for living
expenses while in Canada.[/b][/i]

You have N44.9m in your maiden name, and some funds in other bank statements, paid school fees in full...
Tuition fees Noted..
VO mentioned that your personal ability is very limted, you have N44.9m on statement, how come your sister is to financially support the whole living expenses ,seems like VO purposely ignored the bank balance of N44.9m , as you have no part in living expenses and to have strong reason of refusals.
Application was complicated by third party sponsor which should have limited part in living expenses.

Maria96:

With Limited pathways to PR assylum claims are increasing in canada..
Marc miller needs help intends to distribute assylum seekers from ontario and quebec to other provinces to ease pressure on ontario and quebec all provinces refused to take assylum seekers..
Alberta requested for increased PNP quota for economic migrants from 9,750 to 14,000 the feds refused,alberta reminded the feds about the refusal to increase PNP quota in the past,instead of increasing PNP allocations, they pushed assylum seekers to provinces which was halt..now is payback time to the feds..
Now all PNP is surged ,permanent residents admissions from abroad crippled.

The ones they're going to deny they don't bother asking for medicals. So, Congratulations again!

It seems the study permit applications that take time are those of college students. Those of Masters students are generally faster.

I need help with visa application with a spouse please.

I want to apply for a study visa for a master's degree and it's my Dad that's sponsoring me. Is it advisable to apply to bring my husband with me as well? If not, how long is it advisable to wait when one land in Canada before requesting for a spouse to join someone.

I am considering flight to Montreal and Air MAROC is one of the cheapest, has anyone boarded this flight or have any advice.
I need tips on how to book flight to Canada.
Please if there's anyone in Montreal that can assist with my arrival, I will appreciate.

That would be cutting it too close if you are even able to get. This thing is a marathon not a sprint.

You can apply with your spouse if you are going for at least 16 months for a master's degree and can show your ties in Nigeria. Otherwise, he can join you after you land in Canada.

Thank you. Is family and business (we have a registered business together) enough for home ties.
And if it's the other way, how long do I have to wait before requesting for him to join me.

MarksmanD:
Since you can't open a CAD Dom account in Nigeria, open a USD, EUR or GBP dom account and tell your relative to convert the required POF of 20,600 CAD and add extra 5k CAD (transport and miscellaneous fee) to USD, EUR, or GBP and send it to your Dom account. Since your relative would be sending this lump sum, let them send you a receipt of the transaction, their account statements for 6 months, employment history, a letter of sponsorship notorized by the Canadian court.

Abeg try better course.

Hi,

I am just giving an advice, not to discourage you about the program you are going for. If you get admission for the program, please change to a more demanding program. That program has screwed alot of people after graduation, but if you feel you want to go ahead with the program you can but be strategic.

It usually is, but no two applications are the same, so a holistic review of your application is required to determine if you have a strong tie.

Once you arrive, register for courses and request an enrolment letter from the school. He will need a copy of the enrolment letter and study permit to apply for SOWP
