4 times? Please give up!! Just kidding! Every one gotta decide for themselves when enough is enough. Work on your ties!! Show them you have come of age and fully understand the difficulties of a foreign education and willing to pay the price in hard work and dedication to go to Canada and get a quality education and improve your life and contribute to your country. Emphasize how you have grown all the these years and how been denied has motivated you to strive harder and prove yourself.

Do you have any sample letter/similar. The only issue I have right now is that my BSc admission is conditional pending if I complete ESL. So instead I plan using a certificate course I got admission at a polytechnic to study Telecom Networking.

I already paid 8000 dollar part of the tuition fees.

Sorry I don’t. I will advice you apply for the visa with the BSC admission even if it’s conditional to completion of an ESL class. It is most likely to be approved than a certificate course with no condition!

Slik07:


You're flirting with misrepresentation.

When you apply for a visa, which outcome is expected? Approval or denial. Which one was given to you?

Of course, your visa was not approved. So it was denied/refused, ignoring that refusal letter was not attached. That is immaterial, because you can be refused a visa without reason.

You should tick YES!

This one tire me ooh!! The guy did not even receive a rejection, yet others have taken into their hands pontificating that he was refused/rejected a visa. If I were in his shoes, I will emphatically answer no and confidently so for many obvious reasons and well thought out factors.

Ps: it was a return, not rejection. If it was a rejection, South Africa sends out a rejection letter with the opportunity of appeal to the South African Department of Home Affairs.

I plan to send in my student application next week. But a bit afraid as I have been denied 4 times.

I am 18 years now, and been applying since I was 16 years. My last GCMS note is attached.

I was admitted to a 18months certificate course in in Sask polytechnic

could not get the mail you sent

Was it online or paper?

If you haven’t seen, I have. And the embassy changed its mind later. Your other points are noted and we will have to wait and see the outcome of this person’s application.

Have you noticed the guy in question is yet to say anything concerning his case after posting? Questions were asked here if there's anything fraudulent in his account but he refused to answer, though someone tried answering on his behalf "that he withdrew the money after printing his soa(which to me should be insufficient funds and not fraud).
From what I have seen the guy's account was COOKED(until he proves me wrong). And yes, people knowingly use fake soa and when caught they come back on this forum to ask for help........ As usual, I tell them to carry their cross(since they knew what they were getting into from day one

To be honest if I were you , I’d try to do GCE or something and pass English and then apply for a 4 year program . Most times so long as you’re 17-19 and applying for a Permit for a bachelors with funding from parents you’ll be approved

In my opinion doing ESL is a waste of money

Evening guys, this will be my first time of posting here. I will like to ask some questions:

Please is there any opportunity to get cheap post graduate programs in Canada?

Also, what program will you advice a third class graduate to go for in Canada?

Please advice

Hi everyone. I studied Physics at my undergraduate level and I graduated with 2-2. I want to switch discipline to software engineering and I learned that I need to go through Post Graduate Diploma for that to happen which I am ready to do and I want to run the program in Canada. My question now is, how do I even start? I read post and articles on Undergraduate, Masters, and Ph.D. but nothing on PGD. Even with the posts I read, I still need a guide through this.

I'll be really happy if someone can put me through with the procedure to start. Thank you!

Online application!!

To my understanding, if you do online application you should upload your medicals report at the time of application.

Hello House, I am correct?

ayeopare:


CAQ takes 20 working days after document reception in Quebec, so relax. You can apply via online or paper route the choice is yours, just make sure you attached the photocopy of the CAQ that will be sent to u, through ur mail.

Thanks a lot boss.

Thanks.

Slik07:


It is an added advantage.

Does this occur every month end ? Am waiting for medical call , eligibility under review. Exactly 2 months since application.

Thanks a lot Frankrobbn

Frankrobbn1:

HerMoney,

It's not a reasonable asset to include. However, I have come across applicants here adding proof of car ownership and got approved. You can as well do same, If you think it will a positive impact in your application. Overall, it's not a tangible asset to applicant, as cic regards investments, shares certificates, buildings, landed properties etc... to a car as personal assest.

Thanks a lot Frankrobbn1

Slik07:


In addition to a well written SOP and scholarship award letter, ask NDDC to write a sponsorship letter on their letterhead paper and stamp, specifically addressed to CIC.

This should settle your problem.
Best of luck.

Thanks silk07

Gurus in the house please I need your opinion on this.

1. I have a co-sponsor (My Maternal Uncle) and I want him to transfer money into my account then submit ONLY my SOA with a sponsorship letter from him.
2. Or have him transfer the money into my account and submit both of our SOAs.

My tuition fees has been FULLY PAID by my Main sponsor (NDDC) and I hv 16kcad as upkeep in my CANADIAN ACCOUNT waiting for me in Canada just doing this to show family support.

Please No. 1 or No. 2 which is most preferable? The reason I ask is because I am scared of money lodgement in my co-sponsor account coz according to him he needs to get his business partner to transfer money to him bfr he can send it to my account. But if I submit only my account I can simply show the sponsor letter from him and state in my SOP my uncle's willingness to support me that's why he transferred the said sum.

And how much do you guys think that is fair enough?

Martswoll:


I applied online

Are people who apply online not supposed to upload their medical report at the time of application?

Prudento:

Oga if you have done your medical before application you can attach it, in that case it is called upfront medical, helps to fasten your app. but if u didn't u wait to be called.

Hello everyone,
please i have a 3.56/5 gpa in electrical engineering and i’m trying to apply for a masters degree. what schools would accept me? also would a post graduate diploma be a better option for me? and what schools as well should i apply to for the pgd?
Thank you all

Yes, it occurs every month. You can send mail to Accra or apply for gcmsnote about the status of your application.

I stand with Junwa...Nobody would cook account and after the thing cast, the person won't have the liver to come here. The guy did not come back because you guys were already judging/ accusing him!!! If it's me I won't come back. Please you guys should stop judging and accusing people. If you can't answer someone's question better leave it for those that are willing to help. Or better still ignore.

Minimum Necessary Income and Family Class Sponsorships
Last modified on May 14, 2017
Originally posted on March 5, 2017 by Steven Meurrens
Filed under Immigration Trends Tagged 133, LICO, minimum income
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:

Actually, this information is not correct regarding the SOWP funds requirements. These figures as shown are for sponsorship under the "Family class' and the "Canadian class" categories. These kind of sponsorship is completely different from the SOWP.

In the above class, the sponsor must either be a PR, Citizen or have valid work permit to be able to sponsor a 'spouse' ' common law partner' ' Parent' or ' any dependant' with a job and with minimum income as stated in your post above.

The SOWP is completely dependent on a study permit holder(Student). The conditions of the SOWP are also subject to those of the study permit holder. The SOWP requires an additional funds of 4k from the PA( student) in addition to funds required for a study permit application and therefore the PA will not have to work in Canada to show the minimum requirement to be able to to sponsor a spouse as your post noted.

Note also that in a SOWP, the must be strong evidence indicative that both PA and spouse would leave Canada at the end of the study.

Regards.

A friend just told me about this case.
His younger brother applied for the study on 3rd of April, 2018 via paper routes with a tuition fees of $8,000. He put his living and board at $10,000 and others as $3500 making a total AVAILABLE FUND of $21,500 and presented a personal bank statement of about $26,000 but to his surprise, the school sent an emai to him on 26th April, 2018 (three weeks after he submitted his application) that the tiition fees has been increased to $12,000 and he had innocently written $8000 on the study permit form.
Hope he won't risk insufficient fund story?

And how much do you guys think that is fair enough?

First off the only way you can prove your sponsor was the one who paid the living expenses to your account is by adding the sponsors SOA which shows the debit while your own SOA shows the credit.

If you're scared of lump sum in your sponsors account, ensure your sponsor proves that the money got to him legally by attaching evidence of the transaction source in addition to the SOAs.

The major fear of lump sum comes when the sponsor hasn't sent money to your personal account and the VO fears that money isn't really for your sponsor hence it won't be available to you.

goingforward:


Hi Frankrobbn1,

Sure there are other miscellaneous, however, education is free for kids up till 18years.
I think even at that it would not be up to 20million. ( i am assuming that Oka's kids are not up to 18 yet). I know people who did this and got it without having up to that.

I think that Okka should asides from the stipulated amount from CIC make provision for the following:


Return Ticket for a family of 5 *
Miscellaneous during the study (maybe 5k or 10kCAD)


Use CIC as a guide and add some miscellaneous. ( So that they know that you are taking your family into consideration)

Also is your spouse applying for SOWP or Visit, that again is another consideration. ( if your spouse would be working, then they would be supporting financially, CIC will consider this).

These are just my thoughts.


Goingforward.

I quite agree with you. However, there is a point to note as emboldened. Education for kids of 'School age' in Canada is free. School age here starts from 5 or 6 years old depending on the province or territory and continues till the child is between 16 and 18 years old. Before age 5 and if the child's parent(s) decide to send him/her to school( Creche, kindergarten.etc), they will have to pay for it.The Government of Canada or the provisional government is only responsible for the Child from 5 years old which is the school age required by their law for children to start school.

Thank you all

With this your CGPA and a better CV, PS, I believe you should be accepted in a Canadian University.

Unless the course you intend to do isn't directly related, I see no reason going for PGD when you have above average result.

Be guided that most schools take into account of your academic transcript and not just only final CGPA.

Goodluck.

Nobody is judging anybody and nobody will. Some responses and answers given are most times from what has happened in previous times or from a trend and understandably, it cannot be used to base a conclusion at all times.

However, It will interest you to note that a lot of folks only seek help when they have landed themselves into trouble. Rather than telling the full story, a lot would be hidden under the shelve. This thread has seen countless of situations regarding fraudulent or doctored document. The Canadian visa office especially that of Accra will likely not give a procedural fairness correspondence to an applicant if they have not found out something. It is something they have been doing for years now and from both this forum and outside this forum, it is usually true that these individuals engaged in unscrupulous acts as they test the meticulous nature of these officers. Funny enough, some just dive into their hands not knowing similar fraudulent document(s) have been seen in the embassy by these officers from time immemorial.

Also, do not be too affirmative that everybody that comes here to seek help do so with all sincerity, some just want a way out without letting the cat out of the bag. Nobody would own up to something fraudulent at the first instance. When things seems complicated, the truth lies within.
I just needed to point this considering that these things have happened and are not new here. My only advise to people is, if you truly need help, you must make the truth known. I have seen many cases where the embassy soft peddled in their decision on the consequences of a misrepresentation and this often is when the applicant inject element of the truth in the response. The hardly send a procedural fairness letter if they don't find something fishy. It's a waste of time on their part without a strong evidence. The process of a procedural fairness is mandated by their law and has rights for the respondent( applicant). Do you really think an officer would want to give such applicant such advantage if he/she cannot substantiate it? Certainly not!
