justwise:


I'm yet to see anybody here who was falsely accused by Canadian embassy of submitting fraudulent document but i have seen many who submitted fraudulent documents and came here to ask people how to reply to the embassy.

I'm sorry but you are being disingenuous when you claimed that you have not seen anybody who submitted fraudulent document then came here to ask for help because people have done it in the past and blamed their agent.

People think because they paid somebody in the bank to inflate their bank balance that the embassy will not find out, this is false and this is probably why many keep doing it.

This is actually correct because that is what CIC always recommends if you are applying for SOWP. The principal applicant has to show an additional $4k for spouse and $3k for every dependent child or minor.

This is what the CIC will use for your Spousal Work Permit whether you like it or not

Minimum Necessary Income and Family Class Sponsorships
Last modified on May 14, 2017

One of the requirements to being a sponsor in both the Family Class and the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada Class is that the sponsor must on the day that the application is submitted and until the application is assessed have a minimum necessary income.

For most types of family sponsorships, the income must be equal to the minimum necessary income, which is statutorily defined as being equal to Statistics Canada Low Income Cutoff (“LICO“). The current LICO requirements are as follows:

Size of Family Unit Minimum necessary income
1 person (the sponsor) $24,600
2 persons $30,625
3 persons $37,650
4 persons $45,712
5 persons $51,846
6 persons $58,473
7 persons $65,101
More than 7 persons, for each additional person, add $6,628
For sponsors seeking to sponsor their parents and/or grandparents, the income must be equal to the minimum necessary income plus 30% for each of the three consecutive taxation years immediately preceding the date of filing of the sponsorship application. The current requirements are as follows:

Federal Income Table for Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship
Size of Family Unit Minimum Income
2015 Minimum Income
2014 Minimum Income
2013
2 persons $38,618 $38,272 $37,708
3 persons $47,476 $47,051 $46,354
4 persons $57,642 $57,125 $56,280
5 persons $65,377 $64,791 $63,833
6 persons $73,733 $73,072 $71,991
7 persons $82,091 $81,355 $80,153
If more than 7 persons, for each additional person, add $8,358 $8,271 $8,148
Canadians seeking to sponsor their spouses or common-law partners do not need to have a minimum necessary income.

Excluded from these amounts include, amongst other things, any amounts paid to the sponsor under the Employment Insurance Act, other than special benefits.

Looking Beyond the Notices of Assessment

Visa officers must accept Canada Revenue Agency Notices of Assessment as proof of income when a sponsorship application is filed.

However, the Immigration Appeal Division (the “IAD”) can look beyond the Notice of Assessment. In Motala v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2012 FC 123, the Federal Court stated that:

@Frankrobbn1,

Well someone here advised that its important for each person to do research on your own as well, even though that you may also seek to advise here, so i have been doing some extensive research about the entire Canada study process.

Still, No man is an island. In the multitude of counsel, there is safety.

This forum has been very helpful and still is with people like you here.
Gracias.
goingforward.

Ratawu, is correct here! This is what cic uses for SOWP.

Eichie123:

Frankrobbn1:

Eichie123,

I'm sorry, if you asked a question and there wasn't a reponse. I'll quickly check back to see if I can find your previous questions. Meanwhile, Let me answer this first!
Yes! You can start tracking your application online immediately you have successfully submitted your application and completed a biometrics. If you submitted through paper route you are advised to link your application online to keep track of your application day to day processing using this medium:

While online route, you can continue checking the progress of your application through your cic account.

All the best!

Good afternoon gents and ladies,I need a clarification.I was reading through the canadian wesbsite on preparations to enter the border.I read a place that says i have to show the immigration officer i have funds to cover my study at POE.Will i have to print a new bank statement from my sponsor or the old one i used for application is sufficient?

Frankrobbn1:

philoxy4,

Immigration officers, at times does not request this from a student, it depends on the officer you meet at the POE. Many students travel with just PTA and were allowed entry into Canada. However, it's nice you go with your sponsor updated bank statement not the previous one you used at the time of visa application.

Eichie123:
it was am agent that did every documentation online and after some months i was ask to go for biometric so when i got there they gave me the biometric letter and i was ask to photocopy my passport date page and i did all that i finally did my biometric and the vfs officer gave me a recepit and there was a tracking number there, so i dont know if i can use the tracking number to check it out

annaliese88:
Submitted my paper application on the 10th of April at vfs Lagos. Both attempts to track my application using Vfs tracking info and linking my application online have been giving me a “No matched records” response.

I mailed CIC last weekend about my inability to link my application, but yet to get a response

Please does anyone have any solution to this? Or any prior experience like mine.

Appreciate your help

Frankrobbn1:

Eichie123,

Oh! I see, you agent must have filled a representative form in your visa application, so all correspondence from cic will be sent directly to the agent.

Yes! Use the below link to track your application using the tracking number that was issued to you at VFS office.

Frankrobbn1:

annaliese88,

It might be you're still missing out some vital informations you filled on your IMM1294 form. A friend of mine was complaining the same, but as at last week when I helped out, he find out that he was doing the wrong thing and now his application is finally linked online. Have you tried following the below link step by step guidelines and you're still not getting it?

https://www.nairaland.com/4390108/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/33#66255587

Eichie123:
same issue with me i try to track it no match found and i did online because it was somebody that did everthing for me

blessedness:

What if I switch school when I get there? Instead of going through admission process again. What do you think?

Frankrobbn1:

Eichie123,

Yours is different, considering that you made use of an agent, you should ask your agent the progress of your application since you are unable to track your application using the local VFS tracker.

Eichie123:
same issue but it was an agent did everything for me so i dont know if he use the cic acoount to get every information

Eichie123:
why cant i track it. Since there is a place every one can track it. [/b]I started the parkage since october last year and it was just last week i was call for biometric[b]

Newman1010:


Since October? That’s not possible. Stop trying to track it and contact your agent, he is not telling you the truth. It take not more than 5 days to get a biometric request after application. Kindly visit your agent with some military men.

Newman1010:


@Eichie, I guess you are using a wrong tracking number. Share the first 12 digits of your tracking number. Better still, contact your agent.

Frankrobbn1:

Newman1010,

Hehehe you guys don't seize to amaze me here with the bold words. Yes, the agent might not have being sincere with the applicant or maybe the agent just applied recently that's why the applicant was called for biometrics last week. Either of the two might be the case here.
