Lolz...

Well there are different angles to what you heard. Some say some of these things on YouTube videos and other social media platforms based on reasons best known to them (probably based on their own experience , their location in Canada etc.). Also the picture immigrants paint about Canada and abroad in general is not what it seems like.

Finally, we can't use the outcry of some few people to generalize a particular situation. It varies based on different factors e.g. The Province an individual is located, Occupation in demand in that province and lots more.

It's a case by case scenario.

APPLICATION REFUSED!!! September 12th applicant

Reason: only based on financial situation

Sponsor: Uncle and myself as co-sponsor

Uncle Paid full tuition of $18,789 cad. ( note my program is one year PGC)

I have $6,000 usd in my Dom saving acc.

I also submitted my Naira account with about 18 million. ( though I have 8 million lump sum which I explained in my sop was sent by my uncle (sponsor) for living expenses. I even included evidence of transaction.

My sponsor submitted his company bank statement with closing balance of around 13 million , inflow 400 million and outflow out flow about 397 million

Now with all dis, how on earth was I refused based on financial status. Could it be the officer that handled my application was having a bad day or could it be the officer made mistake. I have seen people on this trend get refused, and they reapplied with same exact document and get approved.

My program is for January, I am thinking of reapplying, please any idea of what can be done different this time around.
Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Explaining the source of the funds with the investment certificate is not always sufficient. Some VOs probe the source of the invested funds, especially when you disclose a low income in your submission.

It is actually an intriguing case owing to the fact that you seemingly satisfied the financial requirements. I am not an expert so I will advise u wait for the gurus in the house.
However, on a closer look I observed that ur uncle sent 38% of his company’s account balance to you. Doesn’t he have immediate family and other extended family members? Did u put the proof of your uncle’s source of income and provide any sort of comfort that he will continue to have money? Things like contracts he has executed, MOU he signed, explain the kind of work his company does.
Secondly, you provided a company account. Is it the company sponsoring you or him? You need to understand that a company is regarded as an entity different from your uncle even if the company is unlimited. You cannot say your uncle is sponsoring u and you are proving the sponsorship with his company account and without his own personal account statement. Did he provide an affidavit of sponsorship. The money he sent you , did he do a deed or affidavit for it?

Your uncle should up his closing balance. He should have more than double of what he sent you...my thoughts though!

He is the CEO and owner. He provided all proof of company ownership, including letter of Board resolution stating that his directors/ share holders ( nuclear family) are fully aware!!! He doesn’t have any dependant, all his kids are grown ups and are working. This was also stated

Like i was saying you need to know that the company is different from your uncle (even if it is sole proprietorship). It is either that the company sponsors you or your uncle sponsors you. And you need to provide the statement of account of the sponsor. If it is your uncle, the company's account statement is not his account statement. And also provide proof of future earnings.

Request your GCMS notes before re-applying.

Your uncle should come in as co sponsor with his personal bank statements provide the account number and bank to be used as evidence in SOP ..the company account as source of funds only..

You stated that your uncle paid full tuition provide evidence of that transactions...

You have 18million in personal bank statement minus 8million lump sum = 10Million plus 6000 dollars in dom account

6000 dollars = 8,232 Cad..
10Million = 16,666 Cad
You have total of 24,898 Canadian dollars which can sort maintenance minimum requirements..
You have paid full tuition fees, while you require only to show 10,000Cad minimum for maintenance but you deposited funds to your account as lump sum..the VO will believe the money is for demonstration purposes only..
If you have evidence of tuition payments from Uncle the 8million deposit as lump sum to your account is not necessary..
After the transactions your uncle is left with 13milion in company account = 21,666Cad official bank rate while you have 24,898 Cad excluding the 8million he deposited to you which is 13,333Cad..
You now have 24,898 +13,333=38,231Cad..
While the company inflow is 400milion minus 397million= meaning 3million savings in the past 4months or more....
Lastly.. The application will look like a self sponsor without prove of tuition payments from your uncle .

Congratulations sir🎉🎊

Please, I don't understand something here.
Do you mean you got your Permanent Residence Permit from Nigeria or your Study Visa only?

Also, I've started my MSc. (Thesis) applications to Uni of Alberta and Saskatchewan. No dependants or something. Only me and my parents will sponsor me.

While all courses I chose is 2 years, can I also start my permanent residency process from Nigeria now or I need to get there first and start after completing the degree?
Do I also need to apply this way for permanent residency or I shouldn't bother about that for now?

Congrats once again sir🎉

Long post alert

Good evening all, so I am here to finally share my application story.

First time applicant that did all (SP, SOWP, VV) by himself with the help of materials/resources gotten from here.

Upfront medicals => 04th Oct, 2023
I used IOM for my upfront medicals. I tried booking an appointment on the site (with available date of 15th Oct, 2023) cos from 15th upward, those are the only dates available. I thank God it did not go through because i had to reach out to them via email and they booked me for 4th of October.

Until I did my upfront medicals, I never took this whole thing serious cos I got admission last year but differed (due to personal reasons).
I created my IRCC account on 10th Oct, 2023.

NOTE: It was after I finished my upfront medicals I got convinced about this new adventure. That was when I started writing my SOP and gathering all the documents. Although, I already got all materials/resources in my notebook (for reference).

I used the old portal (GcKey) cos I know I have a lot of stories to tell and I was sure the new portal won't allow me cos of the file limit.

I finally submitted my application on the 13th of October 2023 (after 3 days sleepless night, just to ensure my SOP is detailed enough).

Before I submitted, I had to make sure I went through all those IMM files like 2 - 3 times and I really thank God i did that, cos I noticed on some of the forms, I did not give full details and co. I had to be double sure I filled all documents before doing the final submission. Thank goodness i went through all the documents again (after uploading, I had to re-upload again) just to be sure I filled everything without leaving anything behind.

After submitting my application, I got a Biometrics request letter. The date available was 30th of October (omo, me that resumption date is 8th January, I wished the date available was earlier).
I finished my Biometrics on the 30th and got PPR on the 31st.

I was really shocked when I woke up to seeing 4 do not reply mails only to see that a decision has been made on the application.

in my mind, i was like [damn it, probably i missed somethings from my application] only to call my wife's attention to it to come double check [abi na my eyes dey see double].

Now, to the documents submitted.

I ensured the document is detailed enough [most especially the field to submitting POF]

Since I am the one to sponsor my wife, this is a page from the document I submitted.

Carefully go through my account statement to see and confirm how ready I am, when it
comes to supporting this special being in my life. You will see a lot of gift from me to this
love of my life (Wifey’s Name).

25. Tax payment notification (from some of the invoices created) (pages 120 - 121)
26. e-TAX Dashboard with history (page 122)

I made sure the story was really interesting to the reader [making it look more like i am speaking with the person that is going to review my application.

I am the one that did all the payment [application fee, medicals and co].
My Wife's only has 3million in her account but we provided 6 months MBS for her while me as the sponsor have enough that can take us for 2 years even without talking.

Talking about school fees and cost of living for the 3 of us.

Every of the file i uploaded is well detailed, like some of them are going to like 150 pages [na pictures full am with stories].

I used adobe premium application to compress the file to like 3.9MB and it is not blurry at all. The only ones that almost got blurred where the pictures so, i had to reduce the quality of the pictures again before adding to the document to avoid quality loss.

I submitted my passport on 3rd Nov and I got a do not reply mail for decision envelope on 10th Nov.

I sha collected my passport on 13th Nov.

Kashamadupe.

SOWP => Husband (myself)

Hello everyone,

I need help on how to secure an accommodation in Saskatchewan Canada.

I have been accepted to Saskatchewan Polytechnic in Moose Jaw for the January term of 2024, and I intend to travel to Canada by next month, December. I have been trying to see how I can secure an accommodation but it has been very difficult. I have looked through numerous websites, like kijiji, Facebook Marketplace, SPSA, and many more, but to no avail.
Is there anyone in moose jaw who can assist me in securing an accommodation or is there anyone in moose jaw looking for a roommate?

Thank you.

Thanks a lot, but I don't seem the understand the question dou.

for Permanent Residency, I believe it is all about getting all the points. If you think getting the education/experience in Canada won't have any impact to your point, then you can start now with the hope of your score meeting up with the expected point that will come out in the next draw.

Not sure this is the best place to ask questions around permanent residency dou.

Thanks for this detailed explanation
My tuition was paid through a third party in canada, the only proof of payment I have is my school tuition receipt. Hence, I will reapply using myself as main sponsor while I add uncle’s personal statement of account as co-sponsor.
