LONG POST ALERT (suggestions needed)


Goodmorning everyone...


Please guys @OtunbaTee @Frankrobbn1 @Lekkiboboe @Olasubomy @Justmellow and other gurus.

Please can you guys advice us. Your inputs will be well appreciated.

Thanks to all who have made comments on this already. Godbless you


I'm relatively new here but I've read from part 17 upto this point but I'm still confused about how to handle this.

Below is my spouse's timeline. Please feel free to ask me for anymore details I might have missed.

We are using an IRCC registered immigration consultant located in Saskatchewan.

We had already started with her before we found nairaland. Would have done this on our own if we had this much info.


SPOUSE'S TIMELINE


Age: 43 currently

Bsc: Microbiology

15 years study gap

Work history: Worked as the Lab microbiologist for 3yrs or thereabouts (2008-2011)

Started as Administrative Manager From 2012 (family run business) owned by his Dad.

Going for : BUSINESS MANAGEMENT POST GRAD CERTIFICATE (Saskatchewan Polytechnic...paid school fees in Full).. $17,100 (right from first application and school fees receipt was attached). Chose PGC course of his past result and the easiest admission to get was in management which seemed to fit into his current need. And the Bus mgt course in saskpoly is specifically designed for those with no prior formal training/degree in business.

He applied alone (leaving myself and my son back home as home tie)

1st delay: purpose of visit

2nd delay: personal assets and financial status (yet to see the letter to know if there were other reasons)

He applied for the first time on June 15, 2020. was refused in September.

He applied for his GCMS notes (see attached below). Tried to tackle the VO's complaint by making a detailed study plan written by him and a letter of explanation from the immigration consultant (which we proof read and agreed was fine). Explained that a higher managerial position (director of operations) was curated in the company and he was offered that position but to fully qualify, he needed a formal training in business to fill in the role properly.

He reapplied on November 26.

2nd Application was refused on 29 January based on personal assets and financial status



Next line of action: 1) Immigration consultant apply for reconsideration (if we are lucky, the application will be reopened )

2) Apply for GCMS note (same time with the consideration so they can run side by side to save time)...done already.

3) May consider a judicial review or reapplication depending on what the GCMS notes say but as very last resort cos this is way too expensive



Documents submitted:

SOP(study plan by spouse)
LOE (by the IRCC immigration consultant)
Resume
Transcripts and degree certificate
IELTS result (Band 9)
Letter of acceptance from school
Fees receipt (fully paid)
Mybankstatement certificate(showing funds of about 31,000 CAD)
Reference letter from bank (to confirm account owner)
Memorandum of association (showing he is a major share holder) and CAC of hospital
Job offer letter ( for new role as director of operations)
Study leave approval letter(one year study leave)
Marriage certificate
Son's birth certificate
Police clearance certificate
Stamped Passport pages (to show travel history to US and China)
All required forms for study permit as well as signed representative forms (since we are using an IRCC agent)
Wife's payslip (to show she can fend for herself and son while spouse is on study)
Etc.


So sorry for the longpost.

Sorry about this delay. It’s good that you have deferred. I think the GCMS notes will shed more light and give you better insight into the thoughts of the VO and help you repackage better. I think you should wait for the notes.

It will end in praise.

Wait for your notes to come naw... What is your profile like

Hi guys. Someone kindly help me with this dilemma. Would someone who declares their masters degree be automatically denied a visa to study for a graduate certificate? Or does one stand a better chance by explaining things in the SOP? Is there any circumstance where it would be an advantage to declare your masters degree if you're going for a graduate certificate?
Gurus in the house, please share your opinion with me. Thanks much

As far as I know all the commercial banks in Nigeria are inefficient and slow in carrying out international transactions. You can try FCMB, Fidelity or Sterling bank.



It will end in praise

I also suggest unity bank, if any branch is available in your area, you could try them. I used form A late last year to pay my tuition fees and they received it within two to three days.

Thank you, it has been processed. The duration was 4weeks approximately @395/$.

Good morning guys, Please I get this error message every time I try to include documents on webform. How do I go through this

Thank you boss. My family is not part of the application so no need

Frankrobbn1:


You can proceed to send the updated LOA to IRCC since your acceptance has exceed its program start date.

You need to inform IRCC about the change in marital status. If you've have a baby, you can update it on your in-progress application (please do this only in the event that you want to add your family with your application).



It will end in praise

Summe:
Finally got back my passport today, after one month!

Thank you everyone for helping one way or the other along the way. I pray that all hopefuls get that PPR very soon.

Anyone travelling to Newfoundland in February?

Have you completed the arrival form and gotten an approval for quarantine space from the school?

sleekcheek:

[Long Post Alert !! !!! !

I started this Canada journey in the year 2019. I wrote two IELTS exams for express entry . I had moderate scores but because am single,I couldn’t meet up with the cut off . I tried a whole lots of provincial nomination programs ( Prince Edward Island PNP, Manitoba PNP, and was waiting tirelessly for the Nova Scotia PNP ( International stream) yet no result

Hello Slvamania,

Big Congratulations. I wish you all the very best in your next phase in life.

Best of Luck

Referencing the attached note.

What the VO simply meant was, how can someone with BSc go for a programme in a polytechnic. That's a negative factor in the first instance. He might not even check the attached documents to read the LOE, if he did he would have noted that he plans to assume a position inline with the course of study.

1. I think to apply, the first thing to consider is a BSc holder should go for MSc ( their view)
2. Having HND should go for PGD( their view also)

So if they see an application of someone with Bsc going for a lower degree course, it usually raises an eyebrow as to intention of the applicant. He'll just conclude without checking letter of intent.
That's to the best of my knowledge, other gurus can add too..

Hello house,please if I am requesting a reference letter stating all my duties and remuneration from my office,where and to whom will it be addressed?

Also,must I pay my confirmation deposit from my POF,like it must appear on my statement for the VO to see I made the payment from the account.

Thank you all.

The reference letter can be addressed to; The Deputy High Commission of Canada,
4, Anifowoshe Street,
Victoria Island,
Lagos, Nigeria.

The visa officer would be interested in seeing a third party documentary evidence of payment of your tuition which is a tuition receipt issued by your school( designated learning institution). Though not a must if you have other means to pay the deposit payment otherwise, you can offset the payment for the deposit from your account or that of your sponsor if you are not self-sponsored. You can then point this out to the visa officer under the PROOF OF FUNDS section in your statement of purpose referencing the transaction date payment was made as a means to strengthen your application.

I wish you success.[/font]

Hello SlimCupid,

Declaring a prior higher qualification when pursuing a qualification which is lower is only advised if reasonable justification can be given.

Not declaring a prior qualification means that the study gap in-between must be well justified too. The question falls back to you, which is most convenient?!

Best of Luck

Hello Cuddles7,

From the post, I see no issue that reflects the VO's concerns in regards to the Personal Asset & Financial Status.

From close observation, its just a blinded generic refusal for many January 2021 intake. When it happens like this, the only thought that comes to mind is the quota limit for the number of visa approval has been exhausted.

I really don't know how to proffer any advice at this moment in regards to this situation until the arrival of notes.

Writing a letter of consideration to the VO that handled the application is highly supported and is a good alternative for those that can't secure the service of an immigration lawyer.

Between, your spouse should have gone for any health management in business courses than a pure business management course.

Let's wait for the notes!

Best of Luck

Good day everyone ! Once again please is there anyone here that has a medical booked for Qlife for this or next week but won't be able to go cos of any reasons? I've got a medical booked for the middle of February but I'm hoping for a sooner date, and I'll be glad to trade medical appointment date with anyone who might be willing to shift their appointments to later days. Thanks.

Hello House,

Please, I plead for someone to kindly answer my questions.

1. I received passport request from the IRCC. Issue is I have about 17 months left on my passport and IIRCC letter says my passport should be valid for the expected duration of stay in Canada. I have went to immigration office and called another officer. They said the embassy would accept my passport like that. But if I still want to renew it, it could take long as approval must come from Abuja. Please, I need gurus to advise me if this won't be a problem.

2. I want to know the list of all the documents I must travel with.
Thank you.

Good day everybody.

Please is it compulsory for your sponsor to be related to you? Cos my sponsor is a family friend
Anyone with ideas?


Thanks in advance

Good morning gurus in the house, pls I need your assistance on this issue that I have been thinking of recent.
For BSc I did International Law and Diplomacy, the course is just like international relations. I’m currently running my masters in Peace and Conflict studies in Ibadan.
I will be done with my masters this year by Gods grace I plan on going to Canada for another masters in CRIMINOLOGY. Pls do you think I will be accepted in criminology and mind you, I have no work experience in criminology. Also if not what courses do you think I can register for masters.

This passport thing will take you a long time. I got ppr since the 16th of January and I just sent my passport to Abuja on Monday. My advice is do it outside of Lagos/ Abuja. You won’t want to get entangled in this nin synchronization whatever

I anticipate a feedback as I am looking for rates that won't send me back to our village o.
