GOOD DAY TO ALL

DEAR GURUS IN THE HOUSE

i have come here naked to seek for your help , please assist me with all the advise you can, i am in need of your experience and expertise , i am about to regret that i should have given my application to an agent , but this group has motivated me that i can do it myself
please do not forsake me

attached is my refusal note as a first time applicant and i have many question to ask to pass my next application


BRIEF BACKGROUND
i am 35 years ,i have HND in microbiology upper credit in 2010 and since then i have been working in a telecom company as a digital platform analyst, i have over 7 years working experience as a DATA ANALYST, during the pandemic work stop so i decided go for my masters unfortunately canada does not give masters to HND so i got admission for advanced BIOTECNOLOGY at centennial college,

FUNDS
I have a fixed deposit of 15 million naira from my inheritance untouched so i decide to use it for my self sponsor for the program and added my hubby and BIL as co-sponsor

here is my question
EDUCATION /CAREER ADVANCEMENT
1.is the advanced Biotechnology course offered not related as career advancement, if yes should i change my course to something related to DATA ANALYST
2.will my school refund my deposit fee and allow me change course. or apply in another school afresh
3,will it not raise another red flag by the visa officer

FUND

1 should i pay upfront for my 1st year tuition fee in my next application
2- what should i do with the funds in my fixed deposit to show that i can fund this myself, do i convert to savings or it doesn't matter
3, do i need to still add my hubby and brother inlaw as co-sponsor

please try say coitized me nicely as am already in a bad mood

thank you for your continuous support

Good day House,

firstly i like to acknowledge the effort of every one on this forum trying to make this thread valuable , insult free and encouraging to newbie,

@frankrobbn @justmellow @ lekbonne @justwise

you all are doing a great job

anyway have come again with my worry mind and i seek you all advice on what to do now

as earlier mentioned i submitted my application since DEC 10th for May Admission, up till date i am yet to hear from IRCC as regard my application status , i have been sending mails and webform as advised and also requested for my GCMS note ,which came in few weeks ago but i do not understand the 52 Page jargons from IRCC , i have send to you personally to help interpret,

however what i seek now is advice on what to do next as noting has been updated on my GIC yet and my school is already on HEADSTART by maty 3rd,



kindly advice,

yes

also surly they will respond to you after confirming your payment

chrome1:

Hi, Please feel free to drop me a message. I submitted my application documents on 12th of April and got the offer (deposit letter) on the 15th of April. I made the required deposit (2650 CAD) on 16th of April. So, I am awaiting the letter of acceptance. They didn't even give me a deadline to pay the deposit. Here is their words "Due Date of Deposit – Payable now (there is no guarantee on availability of space) The program you were assessed for is highly competitive and fills up quickly. If the program fills up or closes by the time we receive your payment deposit, we will issue the offer letter for the next available intake."
For guys who got admitted at Centennial College, is it same story for you?

AMEN

oyibo4real:


Amen!!!

how do you see/ know ghost update

SonofEguasa:
So i am not alone... I also got a ghost update yesterday

CONGRATULATIONS to you, it surly end in praise,

yes i totally agreed with you to all those you gave credits to, frank, lekan ,justmellow, are doing selfless work here. GOD bless them all,

i pray mine PPR also drop soon.

Pee2Jay9:
Patience isn't one of my virtues so I struggled with this process but I thank God it worked out eventually.

1st Application: Visit visa refused in 2018
Study permit application - 10th July 2020
GCMS notes - 21st September, stating absolute rubbish that didn't tally with my submissions, I'm self sponsored but they said I'll deplete family savings plus other crap they wrote. I started sending plenty webforms and emails, requesting that my application be reviewed as the assessment on the notes were very wrong, all to no avail
Official refusal - October 2nd 2020. Reasons stated for me - family ties, personal assets, purpose of visit including travel history, lolz.

2nd Application - 16th October 2020
Upfront medical - 30th November 2020

NSE request for only ielts - 1st December. I replied next day telling them that I can't write cos I'm unavailable. Then I merged my LOE as to why I can't write + my medical sheet + tuition receipt of $2,500 to UoR and submitted in the column provided for NSE. I first used UoM LOA to apply but later adviced them to continue processing with UoR LOA since the previous admission was valid for only the winter term, no deferral. I haven't read of anyone doing this for an ongoing application and was strongly advised against doing it but I sent it anyway.

Medicals passed - 16th of December 2020.
17th March 2021 - IRCC finally replied one of my several emails (that processing has exceeded standard time) asking for ielts again. I had to promised them that I'll go and write it and send the upper week.
IELTS exam - 27th March 2021 but then, I didn't know that
BVL & PPR had dropped on 26th of March 2021
UPS 2-way courier to Abuja - 29th March 2021
Passport returned to me - April 2021

Documents submitted for both applications:
All IMM forms
In the Admission section, i uploaded:
Admission letter, Correspondence with school and application receipts
BEng certificate and transcript
Certifications - COREN, NSE, IPMP, NYSC

In the passport section, i uploaded:
International passport with visas to Singapore, UAE and Ghana
Birth Certificate and LGA certificate
Biometrics documents

Proof of funds section, I uploaded:
myBank statement ticket, amount to tally with a table I created to show all funds required for the duration of my study
My several Investments and pension accounts showing that the funds for my studies is only a percentage of my networth, all to prove assets and economic ties.
Employer's Letter of introduction
Payslips
Tax Certificates
Business agreements and Investment Certificates - I think some of these were unnecessary especially the FX investments.

Client info section, I uploaded: Table of content for documents , followed by LOE
Age declaration documents for parents
Birth certificates for siblings
An inauguration brochure for my dad as ICAN chairman, that had pictures of my family members as professionals in different fields
My personal land deed, survey and receipts
Proof of car ownership, explained as assets
Updated CV, Work ID card
Congratulatory emails and awards from work, some had pictures from expatriate supervisors, an award from global Manager
Employment history - all my promotion documents and offers from past and present

In summary, what I did differently was to only subtly rebut the previous reasons with same documents used for the first time (even the myBank statement was the old one I reused with no money in my UBA account sef, but I got a letter from Stanbic asset managers attesting my finances, and submitted SOA from 2016). I also paid $2,500 as part of my tuition, just to show commitment of some sort.

The Letter I wrote for the second application was termed LETTER OF RECONSIDERATION, telling the VO to refer to their error in the previous application and that I meet their requirements. I showed my POF budgeted as $50k (a % of my total) to cover the entire 2 years of my study - $15k tuition, $25k for living expenses & $10k flights and miscellaneous, as I'll be self sponsored.
Home ties were parents, siblings and friends, Stanbic asset management Investment letter, UK-DION investment certificate to be receiving monthly ROI to cater for unseen events while studying (all to show that I'm not going there to work), Pension, Landed property & Car.
I studied Chemical Eng. and going for MSc. in Industrial as a progression in my career.

The gist:
When the GCMS notes came in that first time, I feel into depression cos I couldn't fathom how poorly my application was assessed but I found strength, after many hard days, to maintain my faith, holding unto the fact that God won't leave me half-way. I reached out to plenty lawyers to just go straight to JR cos up till now, I don't understand what went wrong with that first application, considering that I had studied this thread from part 13 and know what was obtainable. I wrote my LOE using every refusal reason as subheadings and addressing each as it applies to me, but then... I learned some lessons - so much is outside my control, God is faithful so I should depend solely on Him than trust my own understanding, In such cases, sound more sympathetic than professional.

Upon seeking JR approach, one lawyer just advised me to reapply first and we'll take it up after the second time. Now, God perfected it. To all hopefuls, God doesn't put to shame those that put their trust in Him. I literally gave up plenty times and even stopped going to church, but His mercy and reckless love won't just give up on me. I even prefer traveling now than that December I had wanted, God's time is really the best and I thank Him for how it turned out.

Thanks to everyone that replied my enquiries and emails, I really appreciate y'all. I've made great friends from this forum, It's really overwhelming and I'm grateful to y'all.
Congrats and shout out to Lekiboboe (my amazing and selfless paddy that have always been just a chat away) and NairaLuck (my first application set-mate that it happened for before me, I'm happy it ended in praise for us all), IRCC made me weak to even type here again. Thanks to Frank (u literally had to stand by for my unending emails) and Dommakaveli - this 2 argued one time on one enquiry I raised, lolz, all follow o. Shout out to my UoR crew. I thank u all so much for believing in my application and wishing me success. God will always show you favor. Ehem, Brace up, landing gist to follow�

congratulations

praying for my own PPR to land too,

Piecoco:


Congratulations

amen oo, o

Restoredglory:
No PPR since yesterday!God show us mercy and let their be a rain of PPR from tomorrow Amen

PLEASE APPLY FOR YOUR GCMS OH........Dont sleep on it

Omalinze:



In a sane world, this is how short everyone's application timeline should be, if not shorter. But this life no balance at all. Hence some applications seem to take ages while others take just a few weeks. My application (submitted on Feb 27) will be one month old in just 3 days' time, yet my eligibility review has not even started. It seems that IRCC got my NSE documents on the 10th of March only to shove it aside. Mụa that said I would never have to start classes online from Nigeria. With only one month now before my program begins in May, I'm just wondering, should I apply for GCMS or wait a little bit further?

amen oo

i claim it IJN

Rootiab:
Good everyone. I see someone getting ppr tomorrow.
IT WILL SURELY END IN PRAISES. AMEN

amen o
the waiting can be frustrating considering when you have alot of things tied to it,

Benquip:
Amen it will end in praise for us all. I also just sent a mail to them...

my application has passed processing time now

Benquip:
Check if your application is still within the processing time if it's not you can bombard them with webform and mails

Which bank are you using ,it pretty straight forward.
GRB send OTP tonur registered phone number once you click pay

Please did anyone order for gcms note recently ? If yes please how did you make payment because I have been trying to use my card and it’s not confirming.[/quote]

Good day @ FRANKROBBN1 @ JUSTMELLOW

I applied since December 10th and i am yet to see any review on my application, i have done biometric and upfront medical and this has been uploaded, and tag passed

my class will be starting this May , you advise i send an Email and webform to IRCC, since 2 weeks now but still no change, not even application review start

please what do you suggest i do, as regard my application and admission, do i defer the admission although i have paid for tuition deposit, could it be why my application is been delayed,

what other suggestion can i take to expedite my application process.

thank you for all your effort, also how can i contact you personally ?

Frankrobbn1:



I would advice you email them via this medium - nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca.

Also send an enquiry via webform - IRCC WEBFORM - NAIROBI

The content of the mail should state the date you submitted your application referencing your UCI and App No. You should advise the visa officer in writing that your funding letter cannot be deferred till another term. And as such you will appreciate your application be given due consideration/swift processing in order to enable you meet up with the Spring, Semester. You should also provide a copy of your funding letter highlighting in yellow link that your research is time bound. More so, include a reference letter from your supervisor in support of your visa application. At the end of the mail, thank the visa officer for taking their time to review your application and appreciate them for the success gained in your application thus far. Do this on a daily basis, you will see that your file will be attended to in no distant time with a positive result in the end. Take a bold step by getting your upfront medicals done soon i.e if you're yet to do so.


Let me know if you need further information from me.



It will end in praise

i am in the same shoe, submitted application since 10th December and not even started review , am to start my class this Spring
please what could be the cause of this delay because ,medical and biometric were updated almost immediately.

any advise on what to do apart of raising webform and mail to Nairobi bi- weekly.

Frankrobbn1:



You need to contact IRCC via webform requesting for the expedited processing and finalization of your application. You can do this thrice a week, this should remind them about your file.

ameen and me too o

Rootiab:
AMEN. SAME HERE BUT I BELIEVE THIS MONTH WE WOULD GET PPR

hello


am in same shoe as you are and as i am now i am really frustrated

MsJanez01:


Pls how did u find out your application is processed in London office

please has anyone gain admission for masters with HND microbiology ,have been searching for cheap school that offer admission , i also have over 7 years experience as a data analyst in a telecom company,

will appreciate any one with information to help narrow my search.

hosey:


Scan it like that. It is accepted. The school will verify your NECO English with your provided scratch card. You don't need to submit your NYSC Cert as it has no basis for overseas admission. NOTE THAT IF YOUR GOAL IS TO HAVE MSC, UNIVERSITIES LIKE SHEFFIELD HALLAM UNIVERSITY, UNIVERSITY OF ROEHAMPTON, UNIVERSITY OF SUNDERLAND AND SOME OTHERS ACCEPT DIRECT MSC ADMISSION IF YOU HAVE RELEVANT EXPERIENCE.

For example , If you have HND Civil Engineer but have worked professionally as a Civil Engineer with evidence, then apply for MSc admission. Just wanted to let you know.
These schools is also applicable for third class graduate.

DONT SELL YOUR HOUSE
DONT TAKE MORE LOAN

start the processing of relocation and don't be afraid to start all over . taking more loan will be more load on your head as all this banks want to meet their target too, am sure is still that house you will use as collateral ,

discuss this with your wife and also note that it not all rosy there also

justwise:


1. I suggest you keep your house and take a loan .

2. You will not be able to apply for your wife after masters to come over as dependant unless you are able to get a graduate job and apply for tier 2 visa

3. Both are true, after 10yrs you will be given ILR it valid for 10yrs but you can apply for citizenship a year after getting ILR.

4. I don't know the value of your house but i suggest you keep hold of it because its an asset that grows in value as times goes on.

@ justmellow

thank you for the prompt response , this is really appriciated,

i will action to your stated advice and hope i get response from them soon

thank you Once again

JustMellow:


Hello Yeankux,

You should send an email to Nairobi and Lagos using the subject "URGENT: Application Status Enquiry." The body message should be succinct and direct. Then, politely remind them of your school resumption.

In the wait to get a response, requesting for your notes becomes the most suitable option. Do so, you may be surprised your eligilibity review is eiher ongoing or finalized.

Best of Luck

hello @Frankrobbn1 @justmellow

i want to appreciate you all for the wonderful job you are all doing here , providing assistance to question and concern raised

A PGC in Finance from NSCC is the best course of action to show academic advancement.

can i attached my fixed deposit certificate to replace my savings bank statement , ?

davo99:

So it's actually a 1 year MBS statement I sent to them, not 6 months.
And also, the limits of the account balance in the account at the time of submission should be 30k CAD. Though it's just always safer to have in excess of 30K CAD, About 10m Naira or so.
As it's never a bad idea to have more than needed, just make sure you don't have less than 30k CAD.

hello Dev

can i contact you?, kindly share your email or phone number please

davo99:
Please oh.. Who can help me urgently with explaining how the 2 way courier thing works.

I'm at DHL Admiralty way right now and the guy is acting brand-new like I'm the first person submitting passport here. He says he doesn't know how exactly the 2 way courier works..so abeg, if anyone can just provide their contact so I can have understand how it really works.
I've never used DHL before, so I don't get how a 2way courier works. And I'm skeptical that he might do the wrong thing.

Short story: if you've done 2way courier from Lagos to Abuja.. Please help me with your contact.

P.s: I have done and gotten what the Abj Vfs thread says..The dhl office guy just needs to know what to do with the documents.

please which GCMS Note is cheaper and faster and how do i go about it, i have submitted and done Biometric ,but yet to get the NSE request,

how do i submit the NSE without been requested for
how do i order for GCMS note

davo99:
Thanks a lot. It worked seamlessly, hoping to submit the consent-form tomorrow.
