I am in your shoes. I just received my GCMS notes, and it does not say anything other than in progress. I am trying to understand the codes and what they mean though.

In the same shoes as u..Pls wen did u apply for the GCMS note and wen did get the notes...applied since 1st week of March...still nothing...

On the bolded, ARE YOU F** KIDDING ME!, they should better have a better explanation than that

Good Morning everyone. I want to ask an important question. I recently ended my service year NYSC the week before last week. (13 days ago).

However, Our nysc certificate shows service yr stated April /19/ 2018 and ended April /18/ 2019. Meanwhile I plan to submit my application before April 19th. Among the list of documents I want to submit is my nysc certificate.

Hope I won't have any issue concerning the date on my nysc cert. Also what do I imput in current employment as I just finished my service 13 days ago and currently not employed ?

Kindly respond to me all. Thank you.

The discrepancies in the dates won't warrant any harm. Usually, formal engagement suppose to end on the eve prior to the day the engagement was signed.

As for your work experience/current emp, input the start - end date as shown in your dispatched certificate and NYSC should be the title of your employer. You can also include your experience at your PPA(can also serve as a voluntary employment/work exp) if you have the relevant document(letter) to show as evidence

Good afternoon everyone and kudos to everybody for keeping this thread meaningful and helpful. I have been a silent reader on this thread since January when I applied to the University of Manitoba. I just got an offer of admission for a Masters degree September 2019 entry yesterday and have started putting my documents together for study permit.

I ordered the notes in february. I think 23rd or so. It usually takes about 30 to 35 days to get feedback. At least for the link i used. i do not know which one you used.
And yes I am serious... No notes. Just says status in progress, and then the whole 43 pages just contains all these codes and the likes.

Online application

Application Date: March 7, 2019

TRV processing time update 26/03/2019

Congratulations to all those who got their approvals this month!

We now have a sample of 18 hopefuls. Please i would encourage those that have applied this year to please share their timeline (which should include; the application date, application route, biometrics request date, date biometrics was done, medical request date, date medicals was done, date medicals was passed, and the current status). If you don't have all this information, you can just share the ones that you have and update the rest as you receive it.

This information would help us study or attempt to establish a pattern to how CIC operates.

We have made attempts to "calculate" processing times. (Please note that this is just an average based on the little sample we have. Your processing time may be faster or slower than the average). As we get more samples, I want to believe our calculations would be more "accurate".

Finally, If there is anything you think i should add to the data or calculate from the data, please share with me.

Hello @sillysassysally Mine is September 2019

I have a question which might be a contrapositive to your proof. What if you're in a country other than your country of residence where you and your family got a visa that gonna expire and you wanna apply for study permit. Are you saying you will leave your family behind and apply alone? Remember, your family might be staying there illegally and might also cause a red flag.

In summary, prayer and good application can get you and your family the visa...

DMerciful:
For married people with kids applying for TRV, one of your biggest home ties are your kids. Apply alone and leave the kids behind, when you get there you will be given a letter by the international student department to bring your family over. My younger brother did it and that's what I intend doing. This can take as little as 4 months for your family to join you. Applying to go with your kids from the onset is a red flag!

Hi!

I didn't do WES for my transcript; I used it like that. However, the college specifically requested for a "Clear, Colored official" copy and not student's copy.

Similarly, I was advised to get an affidavit for any discrepancy on my docs as that itself can deny me an admission. That's all. I hope this answers your question.

can you send your number to my email Kingsley_ono92@yahoo.com I would love to call you that's if you don't mind... Thank you

Hello,

Here's what I did in my case, I wrote one reason only. I chose a reason I had tackled sufficiently - insufficient fund - and wrote it. My sponsor's SOA had a significantly higher amount of money compared to before, and I had paid part of my tuition.

Hope this helps.

submitting a business SOA that has some months of (-amount)due to overdraft, but all the loans got paid up and some money were added b4 i submitted.
Could it have been a reason for unavailable funds to pay tuition?
Sponsor also included personal soa

Its just an advice because family serves as home ties, people are free to follow at their own risk.

Hi,

That your wife going with her kids for studies is not a reason to decline the application. I can speak from experience. I relocation from Nigeria to US for Masters about 4 years ago, my visa was approved along with my family. Lastly year, I moved to Canada from Us for PhD and I got my visa approved along with my family. I got a student visa while my wife got work permit. I always apply together with my entire family. I did not even show all these documents which you listed and our visas were approved, though, I got funding for the PhD program.

I will suggest you work on your SOP. Make it as detailed and readable as possible.


Thanks

Hello house, please i need advice as my wife application was declined last month. I have been following this thread silently.

After careful review of your study permit application and supporting documentation, I have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the IRPA and IRPR. I am refusing your application on the following grounds:

1. I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your purpose of visit.

She apply with our two kids as she going for her PhD program and I already paid one-year tuition fee to the school, and I already make the fund needed in her account and the kids account because I have been running the kids account since they are little.

DOCUMENT SUBMITTED

ADMISSION DOCUMENT FROM SCHOOL
RECEIPT OF 1 YEAR TUITION FEE PAID
MY HUSBAND COMPANY CERT, SHOWING MY WIFE AS ONE OF THE DIRECTORS.
MY WIFE STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT OF 10M BAL AND MY SON ACCT SHOWING 10M BAL AS WELL

SCHOOL CERT
SOP
POLICE CERT
AFFIDAVIT OF SPONSORSHIP
SPONSOR LETTER

KIDS PASSPORT AND

MARRIAGE CERTI
HUSBAND PROPERTY DOCUMENT

Please I need advise on how to convince the VO. AND WHAT DOC DO YOU THINK I NEED TO SHOW IF AM TO PROOF THEM WRONG THAT I WILL COME BACK

I will really appreciate ur help

This thinking is incorrect.

I am presently in Canada studying with my family. We applied together and our visas were approved together. Also, I have many of my colleagues who applied together with their family and their visa were approved.

A family of mine started his program in UBC this January. He applied for his study visa along with his family at the same time and all the visas were approved. He came in for Masters degree and not PhD.

Thanks

Hi gig1005,

As other members of the thread has suggested. In her next application, she should apply alone. Once she has successfully gotten her TRV, she can then file an application for her accompanying dependents to Canada. This process will boost her chances of securing a TRV as well as showing that she has significant ties to her home country. Having said that, It's very difficult for her accompanying dependents to be refused a TRV (kids) and SOWP (spouse) after she must have received a study permit because the Canada’s commitment to family unification clearly stated that international students and their families have the opportunity to experience Canadian life together. Whether it is for a few months or for several years, international students will be comforted to know that their loved ones can be nearby as they pursue their dreams of obtaining a Canadian education. Above all, she should start now by putting up a cogent letter of explanation that will address the reason for her visa refusal and convincingly demonstrate that her current situation has substantively changed and why she is a bonafide applicant that would merit a study permit and depart after her visit.

Please kindly advise me, I want to reapply after been rejected 2 years ago, should I open a new account on CIC or use the same one I used before

when it comes to immigration both logic and reality applies on whether or not to go for a family application which mostly depends on the surrounding circumstances(which has been overemphasized incessantly).

To the bolded, given to the circumstances of family composition and age, the PA has a "home country," which settles that of the family. Every person have a legal status to an independent country which simply interprets that the PA's family don't necessarily have to reside illegally in a second country that which would harm any prospect immigration moves in the future.

Perhaps they have other strong home ties. We are not saying it's impossible, we are only talking of increase in probability of being granted.

Hello guys, I just got admitted in Niagara college, advance diploma, but I have HND cert in electrical electronics Eng. and I working experience my question is 1. Can I pay half of a semester and must I pay before the due date? 2. How will I convince the VO as per my SOP on credentials .

You have your offer letter? Were you instructed by the school to pay your tuition fee (half or full) b4 a due date...if yes, den u are meant to pay that to get your seat and offer letter

Hello everyone. Please how many years visa does a student going for grade 12 get ? Any idea?

Hello guys. I m new but i have been a silent follower of the thread. Pls I need need the gurus in the house to help me with this question. For the married folks, is it compulsory to submit a court issued marriage certificate Planning to apply for a study permit next month, but I do not have marriage certificate yet cos I only did traditional. If I don't submit a marriage certificate, will that have an adverse effect on my eligibility. Thanks

I am an example. I applied with my entire family at the same time and we all got the visa. I did not support my applications with any landed property whatsoever. The only financial support which I included was my PhD funding, however, I wrote a very detailed SOP. Also, I wrote a detailed SOP for each member of my family with reasons for us to travel together. Most developed countries place so much value on family support.

I have advised others after mine to apply with their family at the same time and I have seen few success over last year.

Thanks

Dear sir/ma,

Oyinbo don’t know traditional or customary marriage. If it’s not Common law or Registry then show proof you did marriage.

The only thing they want is proof then conviction follows.

I just don’t know the kind of proof you will give them that they will be convinced about.

If you don't mind me asking, Advanced diploma in what? Why are you going for advanced diploma when you already have HND? can't you get something higher? paying huge money for an advanced diploma, is that something you really want to go for? Please think about it carefully before paying your fees.

To answer your question, your school should have told you how much to pay in your conditional offer. All the best bro.

Furthermore, if you show proof that you are married, it’s a BIG plus for you showing you have solid hometie but if you decide not to show proof but you have other things to show as hometie then hometie aspect is secured.

But I want you to know that when you are in your 30s and you ain’t married most especially in your mid 30s upward, some of the VO think applicants are not geniue and just looking for a away to migrate to Canada and marry their Old granny’s looking for second love or as the case or thought maybe.

The bolded above is the response you get from some VOs when they want to deny visa.

I love your response in a VOs thought, but then he/she may get the study visa.

@ezenwa28, do more findings about your study application and submit a very tight application.

Some pple got their Visa with Advance diploma anyway.

I need advice.. On filling the background form i stated that my course requires working..could this have a negative effect on my visa??
And I was told to proof it, how can I proof that??
What are the benefits if such visa is granted??
