Hello guys;
I know it's been a while since I came here. The situation I have is i am currently out of the country and i applied since July 2018 online for my student visa. Cic only requested for medicals on the 13th of June 2019 and my admission has already been cancelled cos I already deferred once and i don't have any admission pending. Should I go ahead and do medicals here in the usa without an admission letter available. Please what should I do. This is something I have waited literally 2years for cos my admission took 8 months before visa took a year approximately. Ur urgent response would be appreciated. And is there any guru that can send me their no so I can call them to discuss extensively on this.

Congratulations. Please when did you apply and what route did you follow?

APPROVAL ALERT GUYS!!!

I was in the bathroom taking my bath and at the same time playing music with my phone, my music got interrupted and it was an email that entered. Still sponging my body I walked close to my phone to see and it was CIC “donotreply”, you have a new message(s) in your account, I didn’t even know when my sponge fell off my hands. I just picked my phone and ran out of the bathroom like that with my soapy body, my mother saw me on the way and was surprised!.. I told her mum the hour is here Canada just replied and I don’t know if it’s a refusal or approval- she shouted and joined me as I run to my room-. As I was logging into my account my hands were uncontrollably and terribly shaking, My mum kept shouting for grace as my account was loading, lo and behold it’s an approval guys.. we laughed and hugged ourselves . Now, Let me go back and complete my shower will be back for the full testimony.

This inquiry is for my brother, he has renewed his passport. Hopefully, he will get the new passport in two weeks. My question is this; can he send the passport with the expiry date October 2019 to the embassy and when traveling to Canada, he will show them the new passport and the other passport (expiring date October 2019) or he wait till he get the renewed passport before sending it to the embassy/VAC.

First and foremost, congratulations. It is long overdue. Since you Don't have a valid DLI institution it doesn't stop you from proceeding with the medical. When you get a passport request it comes with a 2yr validity. You get your study permit at the point of entry.

So before then you should have sorted out a new admission. Contact the previous institution and let them know about the recent development. You'll most likely pay for another application to get a new admission letter. Once again congratulations.


P.s: Contact the school ASAP. You'll get a 2yr visa from cic depending also on the length of your program. Whixh means you can travel anytime between that period. Worst case scenario you get a study permit extension. With the look of things you have a valid ground for that. After all they delayed your application for almost a year.

All those in bolded go into the client information tab. That's the last tab in the picture.

Hi.
Your supporting documents including SOP, Credentials and police clearance certificate all go under CLIENT'S INFORMATION. ( You'll need to merge the files to one document 4mb or less)

The financial documents go under PROOF OF FUNDS

Please when one doesn’t make up to 2:1 having a Bsc, what program can you apply for since you can’t apply for masters and diploma ain’t a good progression as you stated...@ghabrhiel10 and any other who can help
Answer

ghabrhiel10:


Bro, don't lose hope. Just wait for the final decision and when it comes, if it's a refusal no fear just order your gcms note and tackle the reasons. With your profile, I doubtwhen your reasons will be heavy. I was admitted to Mohawk to last year, applied for study permit which was rejected, I felt so weak when it came and my tuition was already paid for. Thanks to the wonderful gurus on this platform that made me know about gcms. I ordered and saw that my fault was just from my SOP which one agent I used messed it up. Thank God for gcms and the gurus here, if not I would have bn tackling blind reason like; how will a person with B. Sc be going for an advanced diploma. Forward to my second app, I told myself "na my mates dey do this things with dem hand" and I started it ooo. I attached all important docs. Wrote my SOP myself then asked a friend to help vet through, I even added my gcms note to my application and two extra recommendation letter from my lecturer and HOD cos I was pained where the vo said "I'm not sure you're a student". The application finally pulled through thank God. So just chill cos this Canada study permit thing requires patience and if you're to defer your admission, do that 30days before the resumption because I know how Mohawk kept me on hold since last year September to February this year. I'm not a guru, just talking from my experience. Don't give up!

Technically cic doesn't issue visas beyond the validity of your passport. Regardless of the duration of the program. You can also apply for a new passport 6months before it expires. When you get a passport request you need to comply within a month or risk loosing the offer.

I'll suggest submitting the designated passport to cic while you work on getting a new one asap. And if you have connection and lucky you can get a new passport within 2weeks to submit along side the old passport. You can also attach a letter of explanation to explain the passport validity issue.

BVL without medical means refusal right? BVL just came in

Hold a little glimmer of hope, but also prepare for your GCMS, delay is not denial

Evening brother @Qudkom
Please can you take a last minute check on my SOP, I've corrected what you told me to correct few weeks back.
Thank you .


And send all the documents I have to cross check...
Thank you for your time.

There's no penalty for either of the two, but I will suggest he get the visa on the new one.

obodooma:


Yes, i am

OK, since you are self sponsored, there some basic questions that needs answers,
You said you tuition is 31kcad for the entire program and you made deposit of $7,900cad;
So how much is the worth of the scholarship you mentioned?
The balance of 2.1m naira in your account is not enough to cover for the first year living expense, but you still need to get your gcms note to understand the VO concerns.

I am certainly not going to be able to lay my hands on the certificate of my siblings because I don't intend informing them about my plans.
The reason for this is quite complicated.

Is it compulsory to submit these certificates?

Higherground1:
Yes, sir. I will share his timeline!

In addition to what Qudkom said, I believe that in some passport office if you meet the right person you can have your new passport within a day, three days, or at most one week depending on the location and price you pay to the handler.

I will suggest you get the new passport and submit both old and new with a letter of explanation about the expiration date on the old passport. Good luck

If you are referring to their birth certificates then the answer is NO, The only reason you will have to present their birth certificate is if you intend using them as your home tie, but if not, then you will have to look elsewhere for home tie.

Hi guys! I have been following this thread since August 2015 so I just thought I should share my experience and travails. I applied for Canadian study visa in May 2016 but my application was denied based on purpose of visit and unemployment status. The admission I got was a college diploma from Mohawk college so my GCMS notes stated that I was going for a college diploma after having a BSc so there was no career progression.

Afterwards, I tried applying for Master's. I couldn't get a Master's admission afterwards because I have a 2-2 and all the 3 universities I applied denied me admission even though I finally met the B grade, 70% admission requirements using WES evaluation. In 2017, I tried the Express Entry route but unfortunately I couldn't make the cut-off of the Listening section in the General Training IELTS but I met the cut-off of other sections. I wrote the General Training IELTS 4 times but I still kept on getting 6.5 in my listening but 7.5 in the other sections.

In 2019, I stumbled on a university in Canada that accepts 2-2 (Université Laval). I applied for MBA-Global Business and luckily I got the admission. I was happy this MBA admission will be the right way to tackle my 'no career progression' reason by the visa officer. I applied for study permit in April 18, 2019 but by May 13th, 2019, my study permit application was denied again based on purpose of visit, personal assets and financial status! This time around, it was stated in my GCMS notes that my plans of studies was vague and had poor documentation and it appears am not well established that the proposed course am going for is a reasonable expense. I was downcast and shocked because my application was airtight and fool-proof. On both occasions, I prayed, I fasted, I even observed Tahajjud (midnight special prayers done by we Muslims)! Anyway, because I prayed fervently and fasted about these visa applications, the rejection wasn't that painful because from my experience so far, I just believe if it is not yet one's appointed time to get something, God will just somehow use something minute to delay the person for some reasons which end up being beneficial to the person. However, I was very shocked and highly disappointed. One cannot please these visa officers 100%, people on nairaland who didn't submit the fool-proof and airtight documentation like I did still got their visas.

Right now, I have decided I will earn my Master's degree in Nigeria to at least nullify my 2-2 and then I will re-apply the very last time for the study permit when am ready to earn my PhD. @frankrobbn, I have been observing you silently on this thread, you have been a very wonderful person judging by your replies to people's posts and from other people's interactions with you. Your character is similar to that of @yemdogg (I don't know where he is now anyway) who was a wonderful and selfless person too at our time in 2016, I think in thread 12 or so. @sillysassysally too has been wonderful by her interactions, replies and comportment. The guy who mentioned about the Norway option is very right. Canada is not the only heaven-on-earth place in the world. I am only enthusiastic about Canada because my elder sister stays there with her son. She is the only sister I have, we were very close before she left Nigeria (for 7 years now) and I just want to be with her on a legal immigrant status so as to keep her company thereby curtailing loneliness either from her side or from mine and also of course to get free feeding and accommodation which will eventually make me have some substantial savings. Canadian embassy has taught me not to put all my eggs in one basket anymore! I have never been denied a visa all my life! Even USA tourist visa which people said it was hard to get, I got it effortlessly when I applied. Canadian embassy wasted 4 years of my life and taught me a very big lesson in life! Canada's currency ain't even strong enough sef, just $1CAD to 275 naira so I don't know why the immigration officers are sitting on their high horses, truncating people's futures, wasting their time and then breaking their hearts. I am not having a grape-turn-sour syndrome but am just stating my candid opinions. Anyways, I will finally apply to Canada for my PhD when am ready and then use Norway, the UK and the USA as my PhD alternative plans if Canada messes up again! I have learnt, I have suffered, I came, I saw and I will conquer insha Allah. I wish everyone here best of luck and success! Cheers!

Sorry but why is including siblings birth certificate used as hometies, when we have already filled their names in the family information form.

Why would you fill them in the CIC form without presenting their birth certificate to substantiate your claim? What will you use to proof the relationship between you? Otherwise, I can fill Dangote or Tony Elumelu as my elder brother or uncle.

Lool

Hello house and those that got BVL recently, please out of clarity will there be an email notification or you just check yourself?

Lol...but Dangote doesn't have our surname .
We also filled our addresses on the CIC forms but did not provide utility bills to back it up.

Anyway, i have asked questions about siblings birth certificates in part 15 and some of our gurus here responded that it becomes necessary if one is using their parents as sponsors to show the parent's dependents. That means from one's siblings birth certificates it can be deduced if they are young enough to be considered dependents or not.

Birth certificates of siblings is not compulsory, there's more to this visa application with home ties than the siblings credentials. Moreover, it's not stated anywhere in cic website.
You can always convince the VO on home ties apart from the siblings credentials, of course you have them in the forms. Let's stop making some of these things a do or die affair.
