And to Nairaland; THANK YOU. I came in here at thread 17. Read my way through. Got all that could be got from excellent minds on this forum to pull a good application. I hope someone gets something that can be of a good help.
So, TIMELINE; 1ST APPLICATION . Online submission - Jan 22 2021 . Biometrics - Jan 25 . Background check - began almost immediately . IELTS request letter - Feb 10 2021 with deadline Mar 13 . IELTS Submitted: Mar 13 . Upfront Medical - Mar 13 . Medical updated to pass - Mar 15 . GCMS notes requested - May 3 . Refusal letter - May 27
REASONS FOR REFUSAL: 1. Personal assets and financial status. 2. Purpose of visit
. GCMS notes received - Jun 3; When notes came in, these were my observations: 1. My 2 children ages were wrongly captured 2. That I had lump sum whereas I didn’t have any. 3. Referred to my sponsor who was my Brother In-law as ‘’Uncle’’ instead of Brother In-law. I also had my Dad as Co-sponsor. 4. There was no Senior Visa Officer's comment. And it was during the JR process, when Rule 9 notes were requested that I got to know what the SVO's comments were. The SVO ‘‘accused me’’ of 5. not having career progression, no correlated employment history, no established relationship with my brother in-law and that even if there was a relationship, that there is ‘’no obligation’’ on him to pay for my studies!
Meanwhile, my detailed 8 paged SOP was very clear on Career progression; Mine was a career switch – from Biochemistry to Administration, With 8 years work experience cutting across Marketing, Public Administration, & currently as P.A.. My SOP was one of a story telling as I knew I had to convince the VO why the career switch.
On ‘’no obligation to pay’’; I submitted notarized gift deed, sworn affidavit of sponsorship signed by both sponsors. I made sure I covered everywhere cover-able..yet, breakfast was served! Check out the detailed TOC attached.
So, with all the errors and wrong conclusions i saw in the GCMS notes, I was convinced that the VO was being negligent with my application. I felt I had a strong application. I decided to go for JR straight. My mind was convinced and made up!
I reached out to a Canadian law firm. They were very professional. And 1st things 1st; they had to re-assess my application to be sure that my application was strong enough to go for JR. Their best hands went through it and in their own words - ''The refusal was unreasonable''. They saw that i had a good case.
A 10-paged document was prepared in my defense countering IRCC's reasons for refusal. If you see citations from previous Supreme court cases, flying around everywhere in my defense eh, omo, me ma, i was feeling good freading the whole paper work!
And yes, God's favor was all over it.
And today, 7 weeks after the application for JR/RE-determination was submitted, It has ended in praise.

Julian112: Please FAM...can malaria or typhoid be a hindrance for medicals...if so, what and what should I do so as to get a clean medical result...its urgent FAM please
Pls I won't advice you to apply for the visa with your hubby and kids at the same time, it's a wrong move. Basically, if you do that, your more like throwing away your life line that is suppose to back you up in securing the visa. What I'm trying to say is, you've already have a social ties you can use to add strength to your home ties, so why throw it away by applying together with your family at the same time. Tell your hubby and kids to stay back, you should apply first and use your hubby and kids as home ties bcus your husband and kids adds more strength to your home ties, so use them to equip your home ties arsenal.
Secondly, draft a good Sop and most importantly make sure you state your study plan in the Sop,this way VO will see that your Sop has a direction. While writing your Sop you can also reveal to ircc that you own a business but it's registered in your hubby's name but for them to believe it, you need to add evidence to it that you truely own the buisness. The reason why I want you to bring this up is for you to be adding more juice to your home ties. Telling the VO you own the buisness but it's registered in your hubby's name is not enough, you need to show them evidence bcus you having a buisness of your own that is thriving and also using your family as home ties, they will make up a sufficient home ties to some extent.
Since your overwhelmed with the whole thing,I suggest you take it step by step so that you won't get confuse. You can start by surfing the internet and look for school that will suit your needs in terms of tuition and course. Once you get admission, you can come back here and inform us so that we will tell you next step to take
NommyD: My PPR just dropped, God indeed is the greatest. May 12th Applicant.. What he cannot do doesn't exist... I lost all hope but he came through for me.
I will look for another school with 2 years PGD course, my plan is to request a refund from the school I will be applying with when I get to Canada, then look for another cheap school that offers 2 years diploma in social worker with low tuition. The reason for the above is because I heard the embassy won't approve visa for college diploma course. Pls is the above realistic?
Wait.... Did you say you will request for refund from the school if eventually your visa gets approved and you enter Canada,No nah it doesn't work that way, No school will refund you your tuition if your visa has been approved. Your tuition can only be refunded to you on one condition which is if the visa is denied. And also i don't know who told you that embassy won't approve visa for college diploma course, pls that's not true, although it depends sha.
Pls I want to know what next to do, I just deffered my wife's admission as the school refused to give an extension or do the fall semester online, neither do they have winter intake. So I have deferred to fall 2022 as IRCC is yet to respond on student permit application.
Do I need to inform IRCC on my deferment of admission till Sept 2022? Or when PPR comes would it be valid till August 2022 for travel ?

Good evening all, I’m May 17th and have been waiting patiently, seeing may 13th/14th getting eligibility messages, I’m optimistic mine would come on or before 13th of September, God luck to us all.
So, I’m a first time applicant.. Applied May 14th BVL and PPR today.. The wait was frustratingly long.. First time applying for any visa oh... only been to Dubai twice and some African countries.
Please it’s important to note that I used an ircc consultant (KSA), and I found Nairaland after I had applied. It was after I got here and started reading up I discovered I made a terrible mistake... a week before we submitted my app, my husband liquidated his dollar IBTC investment into his Gtbank account and we submitted the MBS of that account as part of POF.... and we did not explain it.. I didn’t even tell my consultant... it was later when he did an Instagram live I realized... and I asked him what we should do, he said not to worry that we where packaged well... He insisted from the beginning that we do a gic of 20kcad... and we submitted that via web form like a week after I submitted my app... Let me also State that I never saw what my application profile looked like Becos he did not release my password to me... when I read here about releasing password and all, I checked within me, I had peace so, I left it.
Occasionally he would take a snap and send to me... I didn’t also get any NSE request as I submitted everything for that too including ielts with a band 7 score
When I was getting frustrated I insisted he orders my gcms notes in July... and it came back in august completely empty... no comments... even my medicals was not passed (lol)... I almost gave up... infact let me be frank... I gave up... after all my tapping... I remember tapping into Liannas profile then...(I just joined then)... I tapped into almost every PPR.. I got depressed one time and stopped coming for awhile.. later I started again... My friends that did Uk had traveled... it was easy.:. Yesterday I went to church and held hands with someone else and prayed an agreement prayer that my PPR must come today, as I had already resumed school online yesterday... Na so.... GOD ANSWERED...
I want to say big thanks to everyone here.... you guys are joy givers... I wondered what it would be like to also testify... now I have experienced it... if you are waiting be rest assured your testimony is just around the next hour in Jesus Name.

My fee per term is around $12000 but i paid Just $4000 school fees to support my visa application meanwhile university didn't ask for any payment. A friend say the money is too small while the other one said i didn't need to pay any money since the university didn't ask for it.
