Hello,

It's taken me long to answer this because I saw someone else had replied to it, but I want to speak about refund policy for Brandon University (BU).

If you're going to BU, have paid a part or all of your tuition, and haven't been issued your visa, contact Iris Wang of the International Student Office, before the first day of resumption about refund. She'll send you a form to fill - the form for withdrawing from classes - and would even guide you on how to fill it if you ask her to. You have to print the form, fill it with a pen, in capital letters where necessary, email in small letters; scan the form and send back to her. She'll process it and withdraw you from the classes. She'll then speak to Financial and Registration (Fin & Reg) to initiate your refund.

PS 1: initiate the refund protocol on or before resumption of classes so you can get your full tuition refund. If you initiate the refund before resumption because of late visa issuance, and the refund is processed, when you get the visa, you MAY have to reapply to BU for that admission.

2. If you initiate the refund process late - after the stipulated deadlines - you may be given half or part of that money you paid, depending on how late you started the process. It'd be calculated by Fin & Reg, and the remainder would be refunded.

3. If you initiate the refund process 10 days after school resumption/10 days after the refund deadline, you'll most likely get very little of your money back. BUT if you get the visa after that, you won't need to reapply for admission as admission office will see you as an active student. If after getting your visa, you're still interested in attending BU, you could speak to Fin & Reg asking them to move that money to your next resumption date.

Let me explain no. 3 properly: so you get admission for September - but aren't able to make it then because of delayed visa issuance - but you've asked for a refund because of this delay, howbeit you asked for the refund 10+ days after the deadline; if the visa is issued while the refund is being processed and you still want to attend BU, speak to Fin & Reg, ask them to move the refunded amount to January or September of the next year (whichever applies to you) so you could pay your tuition with it. This would only apply to someone who can't meet up classes for a particular term because of delayed visa issuance. But if you could start immediately, and not miss any classes, please do.

God bless.

3) why he printed the account to that time is because he has 38m balance then so I don’t how much left now.. If he prints to the end of April the money has reduce as he said.
Please the statement he printed has his company name not his own name but he is the m/D CEO of the company. What do you have to say here please

7) the marriage certificate I got from him is a prove of his married to my sister... it that ok?
Then for adding my mom statement or her expired passport photo with Travel history is to show a second sponsor. Is that ok?

A) Please my school is Brandon University.. do you know the refund policy?
B) I have a two plot of land I bought bearing my name but never surveyed it... can I use it because I only have an IRREVOCABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY of the land?

C) my late dad has three plots of a landed property, surveyed and registered in lands the documents has my name and my elder bro name too, now I don’t have his death certificate as prove of its an inheritance from him.. but I still have his burial brochure can I use that? Or must it be date Cert?

D) my in-law gave me only his surveyed landed property but no irrevocable power of attorney can I use it?

And please do I have to include all this properties in my Sop or do I have to write a separate explanation letter for it? Bro please please can I have written SOP but can you help me to review it? No vex with all this my disturbance.

It still does, you can check your online account. if its paper you can link your account to online.

Hi
When did u get it. I got the same last week. I also know someone else that got the same last week. I've done medicals and have been passed tho. U might get medical request soon I guess.
I don't think it really matters anymore. Before, it used to signify final decision update. But now, I just don't know anymore. I'll suggest u take your mind off them and just focus on ur prayers.
Well other gurus can shed light on this for u....
I wish u well.

I will encourage you then to share your timeline so that @sillysassysally can add you.

Anyone else ever received biometric validity mail without medicals? this is scaring me. Please if anyone has had this experience before let me know what happened after. first time applicant. I applied March 21. this is the first email I am receiving from them. please someone should respond

Based on personal observation, getting the biometrics validity mail before medical request isn't much of a good sign but doing an upfront or get the validity mail after medical pass seems to be more of an uncertain hope than the latter.

BTW on some occasions too, receiving the letter after medical pass isn't a guarantee/contingent of an approval, as an applicant can pass medical and yet fail eligibility for a SP.

Yours might just be different, keep the hope alive.

Hope this helps,

Good luck!

Shadypoza:
Congrats bro. Really happy urs came out successful. Am praying n hoping i will testify as well.

The routine of IRCC sending a biometrics validity mail to applicants whose applications are almost ripe for a pluck became traditional from late 2018 - can't vividly recall the exact month but I think its in August.

I pray your luck shines in perfection this time, shinning both by day and night, and brighter than the sun and moon, and glitters more the stars.

Good luck!

Thanks so so much bro thanks for your concern.
Can you also look into other questions I asked if you can drop some answers. Pls

Good day all, I am directing this message to all trv hopefuls who applied for student Visa from January to February that haven't gotten a response from cic should start sending mail using the webform to communicate with cic to inquire about the status of their application as the current processing time is peg at 9 weeks , which I beleive would have exceeded the current processing time
And according to cic you are permitted to send a mail to them when it has exceeded the normal processing time
One love


Nice one there!

I am with you on this. Can you assist a brother with link to webform? I tried navigating through their webpage for this but could barely locate one to address this.

Thank you.
Keep the positive spirit going

Please, bosses/gurus, allow a few minutes of your precious time to answer, If one has funds that covered the entire expenses of a year out of a two-year PG program, as a sole sponsor, will it be advisable to go ahead to apply?

Landed property is also available.

Hi,

I'm a woman, not a man or bro.

I cannot look into your question at the moment, I'll probably do so some other time - I'm not promising anything.

TRV UPDATE 28/04/2019

Hi Nairaland fam,
Happy Sunday!!!

Over the week, we had only one approval that was shared... Apart from that, things haven’t changed much. I still want to encourage those that have not shared their timeline to please do as this exercise would help us establish a timeline around how CIC operates. For those that have submitted their timeline but haven't shared all the information we need, please help us in sharing the outstanding information. In particular, we still need information on school resumption date and application type (new or re) from the following people; Godatwork23, Oni2019, docsaj, Cutieflaky, Klem28, Udomas, Ancy 26, Omarzx, and Iykedpetes, while we need information on the date that Valprincx upfront medical status was updated to passed. Also, if anyone has received an update (i.e. medical requests, eligibility, etc), please share because as it stands now, almost all of us are still on background check.

By the look of things, it seems as though CIC is giving priority to those with closer resumption dates. Roughly 90% of the people resuming in May have all gotten feedback on their application – even though some of them applied after some applicants resuming in Aug-19 and Sep-19 applied.

In addition, Processing time on CIC website has fallen to 9 weeks from 10 weeks in the preceding week and from about >20 weeks last year. The trend going forward is left to see but we can only hope that it continues to trend downwards. I reckon this isn't a peak period.

Finally, if you guys have any ideas on how we can present this information better or what else we can add to it or remove from it, I am always open any adjustment that'll make this better.

It shall end in praise!

Thanks for the heads up.

Has anyone accessed the cic.gc.ca website lately, it seems like the site is not responding?

Not much good news... Processing time is now 10 weeks from 9 weeks as at last week.

Good morning all.

Do I need to add a letter of introduction to my app from where I did my student I.T stating they will employ me after am done with studies in Canny

Note I just finished my nysc this yr and still young

It's getting closer to the peak period. I don't see the processing times decreasing again rather it would significantly increase as time goes on. The Canadian embassies have started receiving tonnes of applications from prospective applicants. I would advice applicants to start applying for their visas so as to be able to meet up with their resumption date.

It's nice to be back again. Thanks to everyone (JustMellow, Bracha, Austacus, Qukdom and co...) that has been assisting in rendering selfless service to this thread during my absence. It shall end in praises.

Yes you can. It shows that your employability is considerably high upon the completion of your studies in Canada.

Hello,

Ever since you applied for your visa have you received a biometrics validity letter? This will help me determine the status of your application.
