@JustMellow
Pls can you help me interpret this message from CIC
About VO's Views on every visa Applicant.

In assessing an application, visa officers take into account a balance of several factors such as the applicant's ties to his or her homeland, employment, family, future plans, reasons for wanting to visit, incentive to return home, and previous dealings with immigration and visa officials. Also taken into consideration are “push” and “pull” factors, that is, political and/or economic conditions or an incentive to re-join relatives who have already immigrated, which might be pushing people out of their homelands and pulling them towards Canada.

makano:
Thanks.. But I dont have a Diamond bank account, may use that of ma bank tho (FCMB)..

Chaniel:


Yes, full semester tuition. Form A could have been the cheapest but Conestoga won't give their account details.

makano:
Exactly, they didn't drop their account details, Form A would have been better..

Anamekele:

It means you should go to a notary public and sign all your documents except those he mentioned. That will make them authentic.

JustMellow:



No worries

JustMellow:




When i guided a then applicant sometime ago, What i did was to google it and Diamond bank did the verification of the authenticity which came back positively.

Obehi44:

It means your application is more than 9 weeks, but there is no need to worry except if you have received the BVL. I have learnt to be scared of that thing if no medical call yet. Meanwhile, please house let's advice this moniker for I am only but a learner

Exactly what i thought mehnnn. Getting to VFS Abuja, d manager asked me to send a mail to embassy, requesting a reference letter. Na wa o. Maybe I'll just have to fly in to Lagos 2mrw n submit it in Lagos

JustMellow:


That could also work, just make contact with them.

Best wishes!

Please, what document did your submit for your daughter? Is she above 5 years? How did you get letter of acceptance for her?

Hello gurus

I just got a correspondence letter this morning. I applied via online route 7th of June and did biometric on the 11th and my upfront medical was updated to pass on the 13th of June. And today been the 27th of June I got a Correspondence Letter, I guess they have already reached a decision and it a refusal. Do I apply for my GCMS notes now before the final decision comes in to know how to tackle the points raised by the VO and also defer my admission to January intake 2020?

Schonebaby:
Thanks to all my beautiful people. I see you all. All our labour will not go unrewarded.
I really desired to go with my family cos they mean the world to me. So contrary to popular opinion that one cannot get visas for family while still in Nigeria, I decided to apply. I started preparing for the application immediately I submitted mine. First, we valued our property (about 12 million), we also booked upfront medicals. Fortunately my visa came before the date given.

So I got my study visa May 7th. And I used these documents from me:
My approval letter
My passport showing visa
My previous passport
My admission letter
Funding letter (showing I have over the required 10k cad for personal living expenses, apart from tuition)
Letter of invitation. I explained several subtopics *relationship history *why swop and visit visa for daughter (daughter is less than 2 years) *funding and budget * husband work expertise and designation *purpose of visit( to join mum for PhD)
I realised that unlike study permit application which is quite objective, sowp and family sponsorship application can be very subjective. ( I wrote the sop in a way that I appealed to the compassionate side of the VOs). I particularly capitalised on the fact that I don't want to leave my baby for 4 years + ,nor my husband.

For my husband:
A letter of introduction introducing him and his relationship with me, his work designation ( he's an engineer). He talked a lot about his work achievements e.t.c since its a work permit application
Introduction letter from work
Appointment letter
Confirmation letter
Id card
Payslips

Hometie
Property receipts
Property document
Valuation
His Pension fund account. ( just about 1million plus)

Financial part
This was very tricky. After much deliberation. We decided to use what we have.
My husband had a million plus in his account. His father had earlier sent to him 1 million, 6 weeks before we applied. ( We explained it in our letters).
My mum gave us one of her fixed deposit monies (2 million). We included the fixed deposit certificate to show it has been fixed for 3 months and I stated in my letter the day it was terminated and sent to my account. It was sent just 2 days before I applied but I made sure I showed it has been fixed for a long time and thus, its available.
So basically our funds consisted entirely of 2 lump sums but it was explained with proof.
We included our parents ID cards , passport, sponsorship letter from them, and employment / retirement letter. We also included our birth certificatesto prove paternity.

Daughter:
Her birth certificate
Her immunization report
Little things like her church dedication certificate bearing our names.
We included photographs but vfs did not allow us to submit it. I later submitted it via webform.

We submitted May 14 exactly a week after I got my trv
May 23, medicals was passed
June 17 BVL came in for my husband
June 27 approval for them both.
My daughter was even given 5 years visa. More than my 4 years program.


I saw God's hand in this application. Honestly, I was so clueless. But, the Holy Spirit helped me every step of the way. Writing the letters, tackling the financial part e.t.c.
He made this possible.
I will like to answer questions more on the forum as suggested by Mods so everyone can learn instead of pms.
I return all glory to God o
My temporary lovestory with CIC has ended in praise

Oganammuo:
The gurus in d house, pls help me out. I applied for a study permit through an agent in 2017. Now I want to reapply. I've tackled the reasons for refusal.

Now, do I just go to their site, create an account and start filling the forms according to their directives, or do I need to link my application now with my previous one? If the later, how do I do it?

In the previous posts, someone said he has been trying to link his recent application to the previous one refused.

Pls help me out. Looking at my system, I don't know where to begin.
Pls every advice will be greatly appreciated.

Schonebaby:

No she's a year plus.
She only needs to apply for trv (visiting visa).
I guess from 4 years upward should apply for study permit.

pjosh1:
Good day everybody, please i will like to confirm if i can go for a master’s after a 1-year PG diploma in Canada since my undergraduate CGPA can't get me directly into a master’s program? Will it be easier to be admitted into masters after i complete a 1 year pgd?

Obehi44:

You see, patience is good as prayers is key.
So now you are good to go. I am happy for you for at least I was able to put your mind at rest. I pray God do mine too. Please pray for me too. Congratulations dear

Shadypoza01:

JOCng:
Hello
I recieved my correspondence letter today without medical request today. I know there has been a trend that a correspondence letter without medical request usually means refusal. I just wanted to ask if anyone knows a person who has gotten medical request AFTER correspondence letter?

Chaniel:


That's risk considering that the school stated that they won't give out account number due to issues of fraud. I don't know if this was the case when you guided the applicant.
