Hello house! I have been a silent follow of this great Trend for awhile... Submitted my first application on 25th June in lagos, I got a mail today that the application has been sent back to lagos without medical mail, we all know what that means. My question now is I plan to refire for January 2016 but my course isn't available at my school for January intake. I plan to apply to another school same mechanical engineering related course. Does that have any implication on my recent application? And also a one year fast track course instead of long 3years diploma. Please I need response house. Thanks

New applications are treated as new! You can apply to another school, it doesn't mean a thing! But pls evaluate the reasons for ur refusal well....if possible let us know ur profile, perhaps the elders can help u....while we younger folks say little we know, to avoid another refusal!

@ayooluwatoni, could you share with the house your analysis of why your previous app was delayed? You had mentioned that it was for "insufficient funds", and from your previous comments I'm presuming you used a third-country sponsor. Could you share with us what exactly you think is the culprit for the delay? Do you think it is only because your sponsor is in a third-country? How much was your sponsor's account balances? What sponsor documents did you use? Were they all originals? Did the sponsor write and notarize his/her sponsor letter? What is your relationship with the sponsor? Also, sould you list all the documents you submitted so we can all learn? Pardon the long list of questions

thesoj:
Continuation of the previous post:
Sponsor finances were about the same in both applications, the major difference was that in the second application $40k CAD was transferred to university student account of applicant, Affidavit of Support was notarized, bank statements used were originals, applicant included her own financial documents, and a one-page Letter of Clarification summarizing the finances was included. Note that the Letter of Clarification had a section titled "Reasons for Prior Refusal" and another titled "Substantive Changes in This Application".

Also, in the second application, for total "Funds Available For Your Stay" we stated $88k CAD (36k+36k+N2.5m), while in the first app we had stated $36k. The $88k CAD is a total of the sponsor's promised funds for two years, plus the applicant's own total finances.

ayooluwatoni:
...and my sponsor didn't notarize any document neither did I go with affidavit (really dont believe in them......but it's cool for anyone that believes in it). Submitted just the original statement of account and sponsorship letter...

...Well, God knows best, its just that God said its time to be granted the visa.
I believe that canadian visa is not by document, but by favor... Amefrica got granted with just 100 dollars tution fee deposit during his second application...

Haustraliah:

Nawaooo,this is too much, in the name of canadian visa.
Chai, money good oooo.

All visa I got has no deposit,I applied with only acceptance letter.
Glory be to God.
May help those awaiting CIC and grant them their heart desire.
Amin.

thesoj:
Oh ok. Thanks for the clarification. Makes sense now.
Lol @ the bolded. I don't believe in affidavits either, but I think they have more value if the sponsor is not a direct family member or if sponsor is in a third country where affidavits can be enforced. Affidavits in Naija are probably mostly unenforceable (thanks to our weak legal system) and the VOs most likely know it is pretty much just a formality. Also, someone in one of the previous pages of the thread said he notarized a sponsorship document his uncle had created and then signed it on behalf of his uncle... this in my mind makes a joke of the purpose of notarization (no offense intended to the person who wrote this).

Your reapplication should be easy, imho. In the new application, I would recommend you refer to your previous application and then highlight specifically the new changes you have made. I believe this should influence the VO to only focus on if you have fixed the issue from the previous app. Cheers bruv.

ayooluwatoni:

I didn't do the bold thing, guess this phone saw my mind about the affidavit thing......, I'm not against it o. Thank you for the heads up, it will really help!

Good morning everyone.

This forum was just recently introduced to me.

So I just got an admission and I want to start visa application. So far my issue has been the subject of finances. I have a fixed deposit of about 5M which I thought was quite enough for me. however, I got a company to act as co-sponsor of my living expenses and I would get all the necessary documents. I would also get the following...

Letter of employment (Back dated)
Bond Agreement (To indicate that I a job waiting with them after studies)
Study leave
letter of introduction
Statement of Account
Pay Slips.
letter of sponsorship.
CAC documents


My confusion is that my personal bank statement would not reflect the suppose salary in the pay slips plus, I just have a Fixed deposit certificate (is that accepted), of which the maturity date is in September.

Sages of the six paths of Visa Application, HELP!!

thesoj:
Make sure your new admission is for a PGD or Graduate Certificate (assuming you are a BSc holder in a similar course). Using a diploma or advanced diploma admission for TRV application is risky, regardless of if it is a fast-track or accelerated program; this is because these two diplomas are considered lower than a bachelor's degree, and it seems some VOs are lazy to sieve through the nuances of accelerated/fastrack programs.

oppytexu:

Thanks thesoj. The new one I'm looking at is in centennial college and its a graduate fast track certificate for one year. It that fine before I send the application cos 95cad no be beans ooo

My man, just thought about you this evening, was wondering if you've lost your way in Maple land this one wey we never hear from you since you left. Thank God for journey mercy and welcome to a new phase of life struggle.

Canada is not the destination, but an express route to your destination if you get what I mean. Make sure to start off well so that the rest of the journey will be relatively in line and on the right path to your dreams.

I'm very glad you made it to Maple land at the end of the whole struggle.

I wish you the best of luck in all your endeavours Chris. Always remember that prayer and hardwork (with determination) is all you need to get to the top of the ladder. It'll never be a smooth sail but be rest assured of success if you apply these principles.

Happy for you, man. We de come for back.
