Boss,
I understand your point. But the boss misrepresented about not having a relative in Canada. Now he is making a u-turn in using a 'non-existing' relative in Canada as his main sponsor.
In this instance, @jnyuwa is right. He should stick to his present sponsor while his brother or relative in Canada pay for his fees and upkeep. Then he has all receipts to show as proofs.

But, if he has a tangible reason for saying he has no one in Canada in his first application, then he can go ahead with the new sponsor... but wetin e want tell CIC, say he forget say e get person the first time?

Cc: @Frankrobbn1

PS: People we are still saying this, try as much as possible to put up a straight forward application. You owe yourself that.

I thought ticking I HAVE A RELATIVE in Canada will be a red flag to my application in regards to my home ties.
That's why i opted NO as my option in my first application.

But nevertheless, thanks for your input. You have a point there. It will be very tough for me to convince the V.O that i made a mistake on my first application by saying NO.

I think I'll use my maternal Uncle which i used before, while my Brother pays my bills.

√But do you think with my brother immigration lawyer over there in Canada i can win the case of having opted for NO(sounds stupid anyway).

jnyuwa02:


You not critically thinking these stuff out. The VOs will jump on him after saying he doesn't have anyone in Canada and now using his maternal uncle in Canada as new sponsor. Nothing wrong in changing sponsors, nobody said there is anything wrong in changing sponsors. Just wrong in using someone that is a relative in Canada when no relative in Canada has been checked in previous application. And yes it will not hurt if he used old sponsor. Just have maternal uncle pay up fees and transfer money into domiciliary account using first uncle already stated as sponsor. If there must be a change in sponsor, can't be the maternal uncle in Canada. It's potentially explosive information.

Well, I think i made a wrong decision by ticking "I DON'T HAVE ANY RELATIVE IN CANADA" that will be my fall if i should go ahead and use my Brother who is a citizen of Canada.

√Please what in the case that my maternal Uncle whom i used in my last application doesn't operate with a domicilary account and he can't transfer Naira into my domicilary account. Can i buy dollars from BREAU DE CHANGE and deposit the money into my dorm account in his name?

My question is it complusory for him to transfer since he don't operate with dorm account or can he deposit the money into my dorm account, with his name as the DEPOSITOR.??

guzenaira:


Was travel history the only reason ticked?

Forget travel history and let's focus on the rest.

Travel history and purpose of visit were the reasons for delay

If he can deposit money into his dorm account in his name, which is totally possible, that would be your best bet. Or you can deposit money into your Dom account in his name. That too is possible. Man you are a man of twist and turns.

jnyuwa02:


I will have to say to prevent all these multiplicities of sponsors, just pay and show CIC that you are genuine with a receipt of payment. Saying you have nobody in Canada and now having a sponsor in Canada might be a death knell to your application. I will advice you stick to old sponsor and pay up and explain relationship with old sponsor in a detailed statement of explanation.

You are right Bro.

Lol. "A MAN OF TWIST & TURNS".
I need to take advice's before submitting my next application and i don't want to take uncalculated risk this time.

Thank you so much @jnyuwa. I think I'll deposit the money in his name into my dorm account. Your suggestions is perfectly okay and acceptable by me. I'll put everything in place this time.

Good evening guys.
What if someone does not have parents, what can she use as hometies?

Oga Jnyuwa02, Mazi, Chief Austin ,God bless you for the daily helpful responses to post on here, God bless real good all our amiable gurus too for their selfless act of kindness and guidance !!!

I'm now wishing I read much more till date b4 submitting but sha....We wait on the Lord
May God do it for the rest of we hopefuls!!!!

pls take enough advice sir.

Online applicants, kindly comment on your elegibility status and medical status.also your month of application.thanks

I guess that this is the time when we all begin ignoring questions been asked by specific people and answer the ones that are asked by our friends.
Make una continue. My destiny is in God's hands.

I was delayed last week, the reasons were purpose of visit and travel history . My intended program was a PGD in sustainable business practices, I studied animal sciences as my first degree and I work in a bank. However, I have decided to pursue masters in agricultural economics at university of Saskatchewan.
Please I need help with a convincing SOP to tackle the earlier raised concerns.
Thank you all for the encouragements, you have no idea of how you guys' resilience inspires me.

guzenaira:


Madam, it's good to hear from you too. Your courage and words of hope is fantastic. But you tend to forget that there are people who are waiting on the Lord not CIC.

Always remember them in prayer as well.

Just kidding.

It is well.

Oh my, please pardon.

I always remember us all in Prayers oo

guzenaira:


And when old sponsor is limiting the release of some of his personal information? which could have one way or the other affected his application.

Are you now giving him an advice to still use him?

There are so many people who can sponsor themselves but its just too complicated because of the rigorous and strict measures CIC are putting in place.

so i see nothing bad changing sponsor only if you can convince the Visa Officer. Moreover, all new applicatons are treated differently but that doesnt mean they wont make refrence to previous application. Nevertheless, I havent seen where the VO says there s inconsistency in the Sponsor the applicant is using but rather the applicant didnt show enough convincing bond with the sponsor.

Go ahead my brother just convince the VO.

I had to change my sponsor about two years ago, and it didn't affect anything. I got the study permit. Except that applicant stated in previous app he had no one in Canada, and such lies are flagged RED. But if it is possible for the new sponsor to pay one year tuition and raise a bank draft for one year living expenses in applicant's name, that would tackle the issue completely. Because what worked for me in 2015, may not work for someone else in 2017.

Philadelphia:
Good evening guys.
What if someone does not have parents, what can she use as hometies?

You must have been offended your question was not answered. Home ties have little or nothing to do with parents. Home tie is something capable of bringing you home after your short stay abroad. For instance, a well paying job, an immediate family like wife and children, fixed assets etc. For parents, I don't think it's a strong home tie because the VO knows at some time you will have to leave your parents, so you won't return to Nigeria because of them, except, God forbid they are sick or dead.

Hello guys, I got my gcms note few mins ago. Here is the actual reason for refusal. "After careful review of the application and supporting documents provided, program or study in Canada does not appear to be consistent with previous education and employment history. Applicant appears to have limited recent travels which could demonstrate a history of having traveled and returned. Applicant has not provided compelling reason for study in Canada. Unclear why the applicant would incur cost of relocating to Canada to rather than undertake similar course of study in country of residence. Concerns applicant is using study permit as means to facilitate entry to Canada rather than educational advancement. Based on this evidence provided am not satisfied app is a genuine student who intends to complete course of study and would depart at the end of authorized stay. Refused" is there a way to tackle travel history?

O boy! The VO took time to write an epistle for you. I'll advise you to change your course to something in your line of work or that relates to your previous studies. You may write a compelling SOP and use ASUU strike as one of the reasons you're incurring such cost, because a time lost cannot be regained, and other naija factors too. But the best bet is to change your course.

My opinion.

Jpandjp1:
Good day house,

Please I am new here but I have being following this thread. I would like to confirm something on this Canada journey. Is it true that one might/will not get a post study stay in Canada if the program is not up to 2 years. I have been offered a 18months master program in Royal Road University(RRU) and a 2 years post graduate diploma in Concordia university. I prefer the RRU offer as it relates directly to my first degree and my current profession.

Kindly advise me.

Please go for the Masters. We've seen people that did just a 12-month program and they got 3 years PGWP, and I also know someone that did a year program, got 1 year PGWP, and used the PGWP to secure Alberta PNP certificate, now she's a PR. Don't cross the bridge before you get there. Tackle the issue you have right in front of you first, and let the issues for next 2 years rest for now. I'm not saying you shouldn't plan, but take it step by step. You stand a better chance getting Study Permit with a Masters program than PGD. Besides, with 18 months program, you should get your 3 years PGWP.

My opinion.

@mb92 I got your email invite and I tried to reply, but it wasn't delivered because the email addy was wrong. So i didn't ignore you sir!

Good day house..

Please i need your take on this.. I was delayed August for insufficient funds( reason from my gcms note: recent lump sum from unknown origin).

I have deferred my admission to Winter 2018( school promised sending my updated letter this week).

I am presently re-packing my application paying attention to every aspect again not just the finance(s).Also a note from sponsor(s) explaining all necessary deposit in his/her account with proofs as much as possible)

Presently I am at a cross road. My first application my Sponsor(Dad) and a CO-Sponsor ( My aunt in England with proof of relationship..same family(Surname) name before her marriage and also her marriage certificate shows my mum as a signatory. This i rightly pointed out...other relevant documents inclusive).

For this new application i am trying to fix the following with knowledge gained via this trend.

1. My Aunt is willing to send my upkeep for a year to my Dorm Account( Newly Opened )

2. My Sponsor also willing to pay a year tuition but here is the issue.. I submitted two bank statements from him for my previous application: His main account which is his salary account and also the account he receives rent from his building investments(i submitted a deed of attorney to this regard and other relevant documents.

He has a business account which has not been too* active(near dormant) for the past two years(CAC documents available but the last tax receipt was 2013). He recently received a loan from a micro finance bank and says he prefers to pay my tuition from that account. I know if i present that bank statement there might be concerns about how come that fund came through considering i didn't submit the statement initially and also that kind of cash deposit has not been regular in the account.

On the other hand i am considering him sending the cash to my naira account while he attach a receipt of transfer of my tuition to me and i pay my tuition( i will also present my bank statement to this effect) without having to present his business bank statement. Another thing is, if i pay my tuition from his main account, it will lower the funds there much and i might still need to present his business account to argument. Please kindly help out with your views.

@Arcayo.. Boss kindly reach me here profojah78 at gmail dot com..

Thanks boss..

I see this in many GCMS notes, almost in verbatim. ASUU strike still does not solve the fact that there are private universities who are never on strike in Nigeria, for which you can afford if you can afford Canada. The way out is the strength of your statement of explanation. Why Canada? Why the school and course you have chosen and why that cannot be taken here in Nigeria. Objectives in Canada and Future plans upon return to Nigeria also need to be critically laid down. Good luck.

I look at the response and the bold above and i shook my head for Nigeria. i have even forgotten that there is ASUU and i quickly remembered that there are some students whose institution is on strike for about a year now. Then you remember CIC wanting to see home tie, people will always come up with it.

Now, the people that are called ASUU are the ones lecturing in the private universities who dont go on strike.

which way my country?

sorry for the digression, i was only thinking loud and had to share.

Thanks, i appreciate

Hello sir
You should check the various schools and their requirements for admission, Some might require O'level only or with some level of advancement or not open to international students SO, better still, mail their international students department and make your enquiry because nobody here can ascertain your admission to a particular course except the schools but check these: PS (cost friendly i know of)
