Cutieflaky:
Good afternoon people, please I need someone to help me out. I applied for study visa on the 13th of February (paper route) did biometric that same day, I linked it online and I got a correspondence letter on the 5th of April but on the 10th of April I got a mail that my processed passport has been dispatched to Canada Visa Center, I went there to get it on the 24th of April, but when I open the envelope I saw my passport and a slip in it not the normal refusal letter I was expecting to see in it. I sent a message to the mail I saw in the slip, I got a response that they will reply my mail within 5 working days but if my application is still within the processing time a response won't be sent. Now it's more than 5 working days, also my profile details has not change, eligiblity is still under review, final decision is still in progress. Please what do you all think I should do?
NB: I have checked both my inbox and spam folder there is nothing there. And I wish to reapply immediately
School resume by September 4th.
Attached below is the slip I got and the response I received front them

Regardless of the apparent confusion. If your passport was returned without you been requested to do a medical or upfront medical plus the fact that the processed passport didn't contain any visa counterfoil. Then I am sorry it was denied. Cic sometimes fail to refresh or update applicants portals in real time. Please start preparing to get your gcms note to give you a breakdown. Sorry about this, I hope you get it right the next application.

Hello gurus in the house!
I'm new to this forum..A big thanks to all the people dedicating their time and knowledge to make this thread very informative. please, I want to lodge my TRV application this coming week, online route. My uncle is my sponsor and he is a Canadian citizen. He will only take care of my tuition and living expenses for 1yr. But he doesn't want to scan and send his account statement and proof of income documents to me rather he wants to send it directly to embassy. My question is; what's the fastest route to send this documents to the embassy without delaying my application as my resumption date is September??

In one sentence, if he can't send his financial portfolio then you don't have a sponsor.

Hmmmm..what's the fastest means he can use to send the documents to embassy??

He cant send it!!! You have to attach it with your application. Besides if you are having issues getting your sponsor on your side how do you want to prove the relationship between you and a 3rd party sponsor.

Good Afternoon,

I'll suggest you use the online route, that way he can upload it to your cic account directly and by himself. (that's if he is a trusted fellow because that is access to your account)...

Hope this helps.

Please...

Not trying to antagonise anyone but, let's try to communicate criticism in more non-strong looking way.... Everyone is coming from a different perspective and background... So let's dial it down a bit on strong criticism...

Thank you.....

Hi guys,

Hello guys,

I'm about finalising my TRV application. While filling imm1294e, are funds in RSA to be calculated as part of the funds available or do I just stop at uploading the RSA statement in the proof of funds? That is, is the RSA funds to be reckoned in calculating the funds available?

@makano @justmellow @qudkom @austacus and other gurus, i really need your advice here guys. Thanks.

No, its not calculated as part of your available funds for studies but rather it reflects more on the strength of your proof of funds. The RSA is more suitable to be use as a support to the reguar/commercial bank statement.

Good luck!

IbikunleBukky:
i would like to know more about this *bolded*?

..that any additional document that is use to show/support the capacity of sufficient funds gives further strengthen and convincing to the proof of funds

I think it can be courier also if you specifically know the VO handling your application with your details like full name as shown in your Passport, DoB, Country, Application number and UCI number(if known) etc.

BTW you have to be time calculative so both the documents from you and your sponsor arrive at least almost the same time or a close targeted time to avoid filing a scattered application.

Most applicants has successfully undergone this method.

OR

Go for an online application, permit your sponsor access to your online gckey, then he can upload whatever documents required from his own part

yes you can but GCMS gives you more details about your refusal and you will also see the vo's note and remark about your application that why the gurus do advice people with delay to apply for it so as not to make the same mistake as the normal refusal note do carry generic details of refusal most times.

Greetings bro,

Thanks for your input. I will be using online route, and I'm also considering using my mum's account statement with closing balance of 8.7m. What's your take on this bro??

Thanks for the assistance here thus far.
Here is my case: I got an admission to study a diploma at Georgian College last year(2018) and after submitting my application for TRV, I was refused(GCMS note screenshot attached below).

Now, I recently got admitted to Cambrian College to study a one-year postgraduate certificate program. My question is:
1. What are my chances of acceptance?
2. Can I still make use of the Police Certificate obtained last year for this year's TRV application?
3. How best should I tackle the situations listed in my refusal letter?
4. When re-applying, do I sign-up as a new user by creating a new application or do I log-in with the same details I had last year?

I look forward to your responses. Thanks.

Thanks Sir for your response. I'm considering using my mum's account statement with closing balance of 8.7m and my tuition fee and living expenses for a year is below 25000cad. Also, I have a million plus in my personal account and 2 plots of land that worth about N8million. With this, do you think I'm good to go without involving my uncle??

Qudkom:
GENERAL GUIDELINES ON FILLING IMM FORMS

Applicants sometimes get worried about issue generated in the process of filling immforms and to avoid a rather costly mistake they hesitate and search for possible guidelines to troubleshoot their concerns. Right from validating forms, To filling the dli numbers accurately, funds available for stay in canada etc. The following is been provided to the best of my knowledge:

1. CIC requires the default use of Adobe reader (Latest version) in filling forms.


Others*- any non tuition fees will be recorded in this category. For example Medical insurance.

6. When filling DLI (Designated learning Institution) number #***********. Always remember that the first character in that field starts with letter "O" not number "0"

7. Triple check forms before submitting. I have seen cases of people filling yes for military involvement simply because they served(Nysc) Or Yes for political involvements simply because a relative is actively involved.

I think this are the common errors. Feel free to add to the list.

Thanks for this

happy weekend all

1. Police clearance is valid for only 3months
2. When you are reapplying you use the same user account and provide your uci number.

You definitely have a chance if you have/find the right counsel. Reconstructing your financial portfolio and providing supporting documents to back up your claim is the way forward. You also need a compelling loe. Don't give up repackage and fire back.

The rejection reason is generic and you need a gcms note to enlighten you on the comprehensive details of your trv application. People reapply without it but I wouldn't advice.

You need to understand what went wrong work on those reasons and go for it again. You will always get the best councel here. Sorry about the refusal.

Please i cant PM here, i dont know why. i can only send to the forum. please kindly email me ibikunle_ojikutu@yahoo.com i will really appreciate it. i want to apply for international business management

Hello
I’ve applied to NBCC, got admission already... compiling my documents for study permit.

if i understand you perfectly, is RSA retirement savings account? if the RSA belongs to you, thats not accessible. it can only be used for home ties. my opinion.

Just to add to this. RSA is simply a retirement benefit. If anything a vo needs to understand why your sponsor will want to use his/her retirement savings to sponsor you for a program that could otherwise be done in Nigeria at a cheaper fee. Bearing the cost of canada education, it will be difficult for a sponsor that probably doesn't have an alterative source of income
