Thank Chocs for your input and reply.

Honestly i'm having a lot sleepless nights on this issue, seriously i'm regretting all this anomaly.

Please i have two additional questions as regards to this issue.

1.) First i don't know if misrepresentation is considered a serious criminal related issue/offense such as drugs, money laundering, terrorism etc, though i know it is a crime and it is subject to being inadmissible in US immigration law however do i go ahead to tell the the truth to the Canadian VO that i purposely and ignorantly agreed with an agent to increase my year of birth and filled up other misrepresentation data when i applied for the US visa and was denied 3 times and i that also went ahead to apply for UK visa which i was denied on the ground of insufficient fund only?

2.) Even before the thought of applying for Masters to Canada , i already decided that i will apply for US visiting visa , not for the purpose of travelling actually but to RIGHT ALL WRONGS, i will going there during the interview, i will openly inform the consular , i have no intention to travel, i only want to make a confession, i will tell him/her that i only came here to free myself of the constant guilt feelings, that i'm truly sorry for what happened few years ago and that i wish i was never there and it never happened, that i acted on impulse, despite the fact that everything that was misrepresentation have come to pass , such as
- My age was increased up to 7 years, 2013 till now is 7 years already, i could have waited...
- The agent stated in the application form that i was married, then i wasn't, but now happily married.
- The agent stated i was a university graduate, but then i was only an OND graduate, but right now i have a B.ENG also and have served.
- That i was gainfully employed , all not true , right now not just self-employed but an employer of labor
oh how i wish this never happened.

So my friends and the gurus in the house, should i go ahead and book an appointment at US embassy to report myself and correct my bio data and update my true profile with them , i'm willing to accept whatever is the consequences of my action and to plead for forgiveness rather than waiting for them to find out ? or should i avoid US embassy for the remaining years since i heard biometric data takes about 10-15 years to expire and get wiped on their system, please how true is this , i need help ?

3.) Finally how do i go ahead to explain all these on a note to the Canada VO or should i just tell them only about the discrepancy on my passport year of birth that it's a mistake that was done at immigration and that i was asked to use the passport until when it expires so thecorrect changes can be made, and that now i have gotten a new passport with the correct data, if i just state it this way, what about the wrong profile with the US and UK, will they be able to get that information from these embassies. I'm confused

I'm really confused and lost right now, please help a brother, or should i suspend applying for this study visa until after 10-15 is completed from 2013/2014 so this biometrics at both embassies must have expired

But i really need to apply for my masters, this is the best time to do this as i wouldn't want to have a case of a STUDY GAP in future, and i'm very sure to get the visa considering my TIES, status and educational history ( OND mechanical, B.Eng mechanical, and intended Masters also mechanical ) but this issue at hand is discouraging me, or should i go ahead apply for the study visa (masters) for my wife instead though she prefers to manage our businesses here , she studies Biochemistry (2.1 ) and won't this still come back to hurt me even if i try to avoid it , please guys help me with the best advise right now.

Waiting for your inputs.

Please my friends help a brother.

Chocs:
Hello EngrCGD

1) YES! Please make sure you indicate if you’ve been denied visa to any country! as they’ll still find out and it can lead to a 5 year ban.

2) It shouldn’t have any effect, if you are truthful about the reason, except it was a criminal related issue

3) They all share information, so if you lie, they’ll still find out. And you’ll get a ban from Canada.

4)if I were you, I’ll attach a small note to explain the error in the date of birth then I’ll do an affidavit in a court, declaring my real date of birth and attach it. That should sort it out.

Hello EngrCGD

Your situation is sad but I think you are not going about it the right way.

A visa interview is not a place to correct your wrong.
Going to a visa interview to do all what you mentioned will lead to a refusal and you’re only making your matters worse.

You will be asked if you have any been refused visa before. Your answer should be yes, then you will be asked the reason why. This is where you can say your truth, and you can also attach a letter of explanation concerning this issue to your application if you want.

My advice is, the truth will set you free. Say the truth in an official manner. Put emotions aside and be realistic.

If you need professional help, find an IRCC registered consultant (make sure they are registered o) and they’ll assist. It’s pricey but they’ll handle it better.

Best wishes

Update for international students currently outside Canada:

The Government of Canada recently announced an update to travel restriction exemptions.

UCalgary's COVID-19 readiness plan has been approved by the provincial government.

The Government of Canada requires all students, and any family members accompanying them, arriving from an international location to quarantine for 14 days and monitor themselves for symptoms. Students must confirm their arrival with the university and follow UCalgary’s quarantine process for students.

Fanshawe:
From Fanshawe college

Dear Fanshawe student,

As you may already know, new travel restrictions will take effect on October 20, allowing international students to enter Canada if their designated learning institution (DLI) has an approved COVID-19 readiness plan in place approved by the government.


Fanshawe College has a comprehensive plan to welcome international students to Canada, including assistance for students with their quarantine plans and guidance in acquiring food and medication during the 14-day self-isolation period. The readiness plan outlines campus safety and protocols in the event of any COVID-19 cases at the school. The document was submitted to the provincial government on August 28 and is currently under review.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will continue to publish and update the list of approved DLIs. Fanshawe College expects to receive approval imminently and is ready to welcome when the approval is secured.

Students with study permits approved on or before March 18 will no longer be authorized to enter the country as of October 20 if their DLI is not on the IRCC list. Travellers should not make any travel plans until they have met all requirements and received all necessary authorizations.

We will continue to stay in touch, and will provide updates to international students and education agents as soon as they become available.


Algonquin College

"The Government of Canada recently announced that starting October 20, 2020, students with their study permit approved and studying outside of Canada at an institution with a COVID-19 readiness plan approved by their province or territory will be able to proceed to Canada for their studies. At this time, Algonquin College is awaiting approval of its readiness plan, and will notify you as soon as it is received. Please note that Algonquin will not be issuing Letters of Support for students’ travel to Canada until we are added to the list of Designated Learning Institutions with permission to receive students.You can also check our FAQ page for up to date information. For more information on travelling to Canada, please click here.

Please note that this change doesn’t affect study permit holders already in Canada.

To make your transition a smooth one, we have provided all the resources you need to adhere to the quarantine regulations. Register your self-isolation plan or let us help you build one. Accommodations, groceries and travel resources, the Algonquin College Self-Isolation program has you covered."

Dalhousie University

Dalhousie University is very pleased that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has revised border restrictions to welcome international students and their immediate family members to approved Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs), starting later this month. For detailed information, please refer to IRCC’s update on travel restriction exemptions for international students.

You are able to apply for your study permit and visa at any time, but Dalhousie must be included on the Approved DLI list before you will be able to travel to Canada. Currently, we are consulting with our provincial and federal government partners to ensure that we will be included on the Approved DLI list and anticipate that will happen in early to mid November. We will advise all Dalhousie international students when Dalhousie is included on the Approved DLI list.

UNBC their plan was approved and they expect to be on the list on the 20th. It's stated on the website online

Brock University Toronto is on the list. They got email from university confirming the news.

Humber
As you may be aware, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will release its list of the country’s colleges and universities that are classified as Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs).

Humber has submitted our application and expects to be added to the list in the near future. We have developed a comprehensive COVID-19 Readiness Plan, and are currently waiting for our provincial and federal Governments to approve the plan. We are ready to welcome you to Humber and to Toronto once their approval is received.

We are aware that study permit processing is being prioritized for students who have applied to institutions on the DLI list. Further, students who had been approved for a study permit prior to March 18 will no longer be authorized to enter Canada as of October 20 if their DLI is not on the list. IRCC has begun communicating this to affected students.

These are additional reasons why we are working closely with our governments to have Humber added to the DLI list as soon as possible. We expect that the DLI list will be updated on an ongoing basis and that Humber will be on it very soon.

We will continue to be in contact with international students and provide updates as they become available.

Dalhousie University is very pleased that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has revised border restrictions to welcome international students and their immediate family members to approved Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs), starting later this month. For detailed information, please refer to IRCC’s update on travel restriction exemptions for international students.

You are able to apply for your study permit and visa at any time, but Dalhousie must be included on the Approved DLI list before you will be able to travel to Canada. Currently, we are consulting with our provincial and federal government partners to ensure that we will be included on the Approved DLI list and anticipate that will happen in early to mid November. We will advise all Dalhousie international students when Dalhousie is included on the Approved DLI list.

UNBC their plan was approved and they expect to be on the list on the 20th. It's stated on the website online

Brock University Toronto is on the list. They got email from university confirming the news.

Humber
As you may be aware, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will release its list of the country’s colleges and universities that are classified as Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs).

Humber has submitted our application and expects to be added to the list in the near future. We have developed a comprehensive COVID-19 Readiness Plan, and are currently waiting for our provincial and federal Governments to approve the plan. We are ready to welcome you to Humber and to Toronto once their approval is received.

We are aware that study permit processing is being prioritized for students who have applied to institutions on the DLI list. Further, students who had been approved for a study permit prior to March 18 will no longer be authorized to enter Canada as of October 20 if their DLI is not on the list. IRCC has begun communicating this to affected students.

These are additional reasons why we are working closely with our governments to have Humber added to the DLI list as soon as possible. We expect that the DLI list will be updated on an ongoing basis and that Humber will be on it very soon.

We will continue to be in contact with international students and provide updates as they become available.

YORKU: They confirmed that they have an approved COVID readiness plan in place. However they announced that winter 21 will also be online.






I think we should just wait for the list to come out first. 20th is not far again. I have some doubts concerning the information here but let's see.

Don't be too hard on yourself is not that serious.People make mistakes in their certificates not to talk of Passport.Get an affidavit correcting your date of birth. Then explain in your application that there was a mistake in your date of birth which you have corrected. Thats all.


te author=EngrCGD post=95091141]Thank Chocs for your input and reply.

Honestly i'm having a lot sleepless nights on this issue, seriously i'm regretting all this anomaly.

Please i have two additional questions as regards to this issue.

1.) First i don't know if misrepresentation is considered a serious criminal related issue/offense such as drugs, money laundering, terrorism etc, though i know it is a crime and it is subject to being inadmissible in US immigration law however do i go ahead to tell the the truth to the Canadian VO that i purposely and ignorantly agreed with an agent to increase my year of birth and filled up other misrepresentation data when i applied for the US visa and was denied 3 times and i that also went ahead to apply for UK visa which i was denied on the ground of insufficient fund only?

2.) Even before the thought of applying for Masters to Canada , i already decided that i will apply for US visiting visa , not for the purpose of travelling actually but to RIGHT ALL WRONGS, i will going there during the interview, i will openly inform the consular , i have no intention to travel, i only want to make a confession, i will tell him/her that i only came here to free myself of the constant guilt feelings, that i'm truly sorry for what happened few years ago and that i wish i was never there and it never happened, that i acted on impulse, despite the fact that everything that was misrepresentation have come to pass , such as
- My age was increased up to 7 years, 2013 till now is 7 years already, i could have waited...
- The agent stated in the application form that i was married, then i wasn't, but now happily married.
- The agent stated i was a university graduate, but then i was only an OND graduate, but right now i have a B.ENG also and have served.
- That i was gainfully employed , all not true , right now not just self-employed but an employer of labor
oh how i wish this never happened.

So my friends and the gurus in the house, should i go ahead and book an appointment at US embassy to report myself and correct my bio data and update my true profile with them , i'm willing to accept whatever is the consequences of my action and to plead for forgiveness rather than waiting for them to find out ? or should i avoid US embassy for the remaining years since i heard biometric data takes about 10-15 years to expire and get wiped on their system, please how true is this , i need help ?

3.) Finally how do i go ahead to explain all these on a note to the Canada VO or should i just tell them only about the discrepancy on my passport year of birth that it's a mistake that was done at immigration and that i was asked to use the passport until when it expires so thecorrect changes can be made, and that now i have gotten a new passport with the correct data, if i just state it this way, what about the wrong profile with the US and UK, will they be able to get that information from these embassies. I'm confused

I'm really confused and lost right now, please help a brother, or should i suspend applying for this study visa until after 10-15 is completed from 2013/2014 so this biometrics at both embassies must have expired

But i really need to apply for my masters, this is the best time to do this as i wouldn't want to have a case of a STUDY GAP in future, and i'm very sure to get the visa considering my TIES, status and educational history ( OND mechanical, B.Eng mechanical, and intended Masters also mechanical ) but this issue at hand is discouraging me, or should i go ahead apply for the study visa (masters) for my wife instead though she prefers to manage our businesses here , she studies Biochemistry (2.1 ) and won't this still come back to hurt me even if i try to avoid it , please guys help me with the best advise right now.

Waiting for your inputs.

Please my friends help a brother.

Hello,
First, I want to say thank you for these threads. Discovering that I'm not alone on this path (of getting a study permit) is a great relief.

I got AIP August 6
Medicals was updated August 24
Biometrics was completed September 1
I resumed online studies September 9
I have not received any information/update about the whole process since September 1 when the biometrics was completed. Please what can I do to know if they are working on my application?

Hello Dee4Doyinsola


You can order your gcms notes to see the current state of your application. If you have been approved, you’ll see it there. To do that, just google “GCMS notes sites Canada” and you’ll see several websites you can order it from. It costs between $15-$20 cad and can take up to 35 days to be ready. If you have anyone in Canada to order it on your behalf (citizen, permanent resident or temporary resident) it would cost $5 cad only.

Getting an AIP is a good sign though.


Best wishes
