This is the message I got from CIC mail today,
You can learn from it the process our application go through before final decision.

Good Day,



Thank you for your email.



Kindly note that this application is still under active review by our office. At the moment, we are not in a position to give a clear indication of when we anticipate finalizing this application. However, we wish to inform you that our office is doing the necessary to ensure that this application is processed and finalised within the shortest timeframe possible.



Please note that the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act requires that each person applying for a visa to Canada be screened in many different ways, including health, security and criminality. Often, delays in the processing of an application are out of our control as some processing steps require coordination with external authorities. Therefore some applications due to the complexity of their nature may take a bit longer to finalise than others



Our office will contact you as soon as all verifications are completed and application finalized, or as soon as more information or documents are required.



We realize that the situation is unfortunate and regret that our response could not be more favorable at the moment.

@ Qudkom, the list you provided is really an eye opener, thanks but consider this case:
1) A new enterprise how does one get tax clearance, Tin number and others you listed because it is becoming cumbersome, I just registered my new business which started last month and am yet to get my CAC certificate.
2) I intend applying for my study permit next month with a sibling who is doing well sponsoring me, how do I make my application strong? I finished NYSC November 2017. just my new business as asset for now.
Thanks as I wait for your assistance, please.

Obehi44:

Nice one, thank you. Although I am going to request for the GCMS note, but at the same time, I want to reapply around 2nd week of this June. I am putting things together to the effect of their refusal reason. Thanks to everyone here that responded to my posts, I have picked a few to help me.

Qudkom:

Well in your case, you need to explain vividly why/what you hope to archive when you are done with your studies in relation to your registered company. Get a detailed business plan if possible fo highlight your plans for the business. There are loads of things you can do but the above is for a start. All the best.

Ps: it's important you get thd cac certificate

Yes my tuition fees is $4833 per year. How much should I write in the room and board and also in the others please.

My sponsor just wrote if my funding isn't enough, he will support me financially over the period of my studies.
The sponsor is my brother and he dropped his account statement too.

So please how do I feel it?

GENERAL GUIDELINES ON FILLING IMM FORMS

Applicants sometimes get worried about issue generated in the process of filling immforms and to avoid a rather costly mistake they hesitate and search for possible guidelines to troubleshoot their concerns. Right from validating forms, To filling the dli numbers accurately, funds available for stay in canada etc. The following is been provided to the best of my knowledge:

1. CIC requires the default use of Adobe reader (Latest version) in filling forms.

2. Avoid asking for copies of imm forms rather download it directly from cic website. This is because this forms are updated regularly and what an applicant used in January might be different from what another will use in May.
For example, thw family immform excluded siblings information initially only to change it around March-April last year.

3. Dont be scammed by Agents the forms are free and can be downloaded anytime.

4. If you are submitting your application online then you don't need to sign. And if you are using the paper route print the forms with the barcodes and sign the forms.

5. The section for( funds available, room and board and tuition) is one of the most confusing part for Applicants. CIC states that you only need to show figures or proof of funds for the duration of the first year. If you are going for a 2year program you are only required to show proof of funds for the first year (however there is nothing wrong with showing prood beyond the first year).
Therefore;
Tuition*- this figure should be the total roundup of your entire tuition fees for the duration of your program. In case you don't have the figure then provide the first year only.

Room&Board*- This should show expense for the first year. The default amount in this category is 10kcad however some province requires more I.e Quebec.

Total funds available for stay in Canada*- first year in consideration. The sum total of tuition, living expenses, books and supply etc. Should be filled here. Most times the school gives you a comprehensive breakdown

Others*- any non tuition fees will be recorded in this category. For example Medical insurance.

6. When filling DLI (Designated learning Institution) number #***********. Always remember that the first character in that field starts with letter "O" not number "0"

7. Triple check forms before submitting. I have seen cases of people filling yes for military involvement simply because they served(Nysc) Or Yes for political involvements simply because a relative is actively involved.

I think this are the common errors. Feel free to add to the list.

He should apply for a tourist or visiting visa

canadaman18:


Hey mate , there is nothing wrong with inviting your brother and his family for a visit. You are not the one sponsoring them financially so I dont see why people are saying you gotta be done school.

I know friends who have invited their siblings for a visit , its no biggie provided the person youre inviting is self sufficient.

My advice is they package it as visit + tourism , you write them a letter saying youre inviting them to visit you . And they also write a letter of intent saying theyll be visiting you and also visiting tourist attractions and name a few.

JustMellow:


Even if you have the privilege to invite close family members, going as far to invite multitude isn't a very wise idea. As a student, you don't have that financial sufficiency to cater for their stay and other necessities. If this application is filed, its likely not going to scale through, just save time and money.

Good luck!

Bracha:
I've written what I think.
Cheers.

Qudkom:

There isn't any compelling reason to invite 5 people to Canada! !!. Are you graduating? Im which case your parents are the ones allowed to visit you. To the vo if you want to see them then travel down tp Nigeria.

Bracha:
Why are you inviting your brother and his whole family while you're still in school? Please don't do this. Graduate from school first, get a job, then do the invite because the embassy will expect you to have enough money to cater for all of you over there. If you say your brother will cater for himself, this MAY warrant them to think he wants to japaa seeing as he doesn't have a solid home tie.

But if you refuse to listen to this advise and go ahead with the invite, let your brother and his wife use their jobs as a home tie. Also, let your brother apply independent of you, as in let him apply for a visit visa giving tourism as an excuse.

Hopefully you go with the first advise so the second won't be needed.

Good luck to you and your brother.
