Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by SoftdudeKay: 1:36pm On Oct 22, 2022
Good afternoon guys. Please I need urgent assistance and advice. I applied for tourist visa in March 2020 (before the lockdown) through an agent here in Nigeria, and there was no update on the application. So, I applied for study visa in July this year by myself. I have been waiting to get response from the IRCC and I just got a response today, saying there was a request from me (that’s my agent) to my bank that the application fee (my previous application) should be refunded. Now I have to provide valid point in 15 days as to why I requested for the refund and I need to pay the $185CAD. The payment isn’t the problem, but I contacted the agent and obviously, he knows about it but claimed he didn’t make the payment from his card, that someone else made the payment for him, and he’s not been able to reach the person.

Please, what do I do now?

Kindly advise me accordingly.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!

You can use a dollar card from Nigeria or get someone with credit card to help you pay.

You can also reach out to me. I assist with payments (at black market rate).

Please guys, i need to make 150cad application fee, how do i do that.

iam going for a 1 year certificate course
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by technix: 1:54pm On Oct 22, 2022
Should be around 5,000Naira. It's not compulsory for study visa application though.

Update: I learnt it's now very expensive (about 30 to 50K). Personally, I wouldn't advise anyone to spend that on police character certificate for study permit or SOWP (when it's not express entry). If IRCC needs it eventually, they will contact the candidate to submit one.

Why not pursue a post-grad diploma in law or paralegal studies. If you choose to go for an undergrad.
1: it's quite expensive
2: you will need to talk more in your sop or lose.

Law isn’t what I want to pursue anymore based on what I do now.

Hmm take more in my SOP … okay thanks

It's pretty difficult to do. Perhaps, if the change is really driven by passion, work/life experience and career goals, the justification will flow naturally.

A reason for taking up the undergraduate instead of graduate program could be because the two fields don't overlap, and a graduate program in human nutrition requires foundational knowledge such as human physiology, etc.

I cannot give further specific responses without knowing your situation.

Hope this helps.

Hello everyone

I’ve got a law degree and I got an undergraduate admission to study human nutritional science.

How best can one explain the transition in the field of study and also taking up an undergrad and not a graduate program?

Hi everyone, i am not sure anyone knows me on this thread, but i thought to drop my Canada study journey.

my timeline as much as i can remember goes thus:

Applied January 9 2021 , got refused February 2021, reason: Personal assets and financial status

Applied again April 2021, addressing the issues, got refused in August 2021 for same reason, personal assets and financial status

Began my journey to JR because i did all i could, everyone i chatted with on thread 19 didnt know whatelse i should do that i hadnt done.

So i consulted a lawyer, he read my notes and documents submitted, said i had a good case.

In my first application, the denial reason was that they could not find documents of financial proof, i remember i was asked to submit MBS but i declined, i was told it was not compulsory, at least their request letter said so, so i asked them to process with the traditional bank statements i provided, i was wrong, it was not an option, i was refused 2 days after i ignored their request.

So to improve my chances, i liquidated my fixed deposits in my first application, paid 95% of my tuition from it and reapplied, lo and behold, i was slammed with lump sum deposit despite my explanation and documentary evidence the lump sum were from my liquidated fixed deposits.

my journey to JR began in September, a month after my second refusal, IRCC refused to settle at first instance, i became pensive and put in a third application in December, finished paying my tuition, bit the bullet and did GIC, it was expensive but it was worth it. I did a third application because the case had gone quiet and i had already almost given up on it. i started questioning my choice to go through JR, my lawyer was in high spirits and was very much sure we will win.

He was not in support of my third application but i did it anyway. The third application was untouched from December 2021 to May 2022, it was as if they wanted to see the direction of my case in court.

So in that same May, the judge granted leave (this means the judge is interested and wants to hear the case which will most likely rule in my favor)

2 days after the judge granted leave, IRCC comes forward to settle and reopen my file. 2 days after they settled, my third application which was untouched gathered momentum, medical request dropped like a week after settlement, PPR a month after. the second application which was still reopened was withdrawn after i got PPR.

Immediately after i received my PPR, i put in my son's application and it was approved in 6 weeks.

we arrived BC last week and preparing for my resumption in January 2023.

I hope everyone on this journey and awaiting decisions draws strength from this post.

Cheers!

Hi SoftdudeKay,

Sorry to hear about this. I hope that the agent submitted a 'Use of Representative Form' in your application.

Do mention what you know about the requested information, from agent to the person he used, etc. (you can attach a proof of your conversations with the agent, if available). However, don't directly put the onus on the agent/payer.

Try buttress the fact that you can afford the payment and you have the fund to sponsor your stay in Canada. Attach bank statements, reference letter from your bank, and even a letter from your employer (if possible) attesting your to your integrity.

Make the requested payment (through a trusted person) and attach the receipt.

Thanks for your advice.

They are really not even talking about the payment now but asking why I have requested for the refund and the agent didn’t submit any Use of Representative Form, meaning that I did the application by myself. Then I have to provide reasons for requesting my financial institution to charge back (refund) the fund.

I just don’t know what to do.

Hello Sam

I wanna believe you have already gotten Admission in this school, so you can go ahead with your Visa Application.

But on a norms, I will advise anybody to apply to Ontario colleges for their Admission. Even though this colleges are more expensive thna other colleges in other provinces, you stand a high chance of getting ur Visa (If you put in a visa application) and also future benefits in the province of Ontario..

Hello socially

This your question is very clear.

You didn't state which is your home country,
you didn't state which country you presently working
you didn't also state how long you have been doing this remote Job..

Also take note Job is not the only factor for Home ties.......

This is not correct,

Police certificate is way more expensive now, the last time I checked, its between 30k to 40k depending on your bargaining power..

Should be around 5,000Naira. It's not compulsory for study visa application though.

Hello Ade

As a BSc graduate, its sensible you go for either a Masters degree or a Post graduate Diploma Degree depending on your grade to show Career progression.

And which Winter resumption are you talking about, 2023 0r 2024. if its the former, I wont advise that move.

You can go for May 2023 resumption( that is if its still open for your program though) and take your time to re-strategize before you re-apply. You were refused some days back and you wanna re-apply immediately, not a good move.

Order for your GCMS notes, Go for May 2023 resumption as you adequately prepare for your re-application.

Its better you settle down, take your time to study the reasons for your refusal in your GCMS notes, re-apply and get your Visa than to re-apply immediately and get refused again.

Peace

Good morning NL family,
I got my refused Application on Oct.14th based on" The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided
in your application"

I have a bachelor degree and I wanted to change my degree to another and I think that is the reason met.

Hope am right?

I am already processing Master in my field for winter?

Can I Re-apply this month?

Hope is it not too quick.(I was denied in October and Re-apply in October.?

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by makano: 4:39pm On Oct 22, 2022
The last time I checked, it between 30k - 40k (updated price).

It used to be 5k few months back.. But Police Certificate is never a compulsory document as many applicants have gotten Visa without submitting it.. But if you are a fresh study permit visa applicant, you can do it if you wish)..

I suggest you speak the truth and tell IRCC you used the service of an agent and trusted him with your application not knowing he was dubious and you're ready to make the payment again.

That’s why I did this current study visa application by myself. That means but the agent didn’t use the Use of Representative Form, and the Visa Officer requested for it here. He said I should attach it if I used it. How do I deal with this?

NOTE THAT: it must have been stated in the option he (the agent) chose then that I am not using an agent. So this simply means I’m lying to them.
