false information. Most employers will not entertain you without pr or post graduate work permit. Most employers don’t know how immigration works talk-less of LMIA. Like i said earlier you have less than a 5% chance thats if you have a scarce skill self. There are people paying as much as 20k to 30k for LMIA self.

This is brilliant
Bobomaigida:
It is PPR for a close friend after two rejections.

First Application (GC Key)
Submitted – 11/09/2021
Upfront Med passed – 14/10/21
Refusal – 7/12/21


GCMS notes revealed no detailed information, just that the VO stated that though funds seem available he/she/it was not convinced that third party funds will be available for the duration of the programme.
The sponsor was her brother in law who was based in Canada and he had provided statements of about C$51,000 with no lump sums at all, while she had paid first semester fees at Lambton college for a two year programme, after this rejection, she was in dilemma on what to do, because Lambton College does not allow deferral of admission and she was hoping to resume for Spring 2022, she actually submitted the application early to get quick processing in line with the 4 months timeline of IRCC then, since there was still time before her proposed resumption, she decided to resubmit her application, with same documents hoping that a considerate VO will look at it with favourable eyes, but guess what she was bounced again!

Second Application (New Portal)
Submitted – 8/02/22
Existing upfront med passed – 18/2/22
Refusal – 25/5/22


By this time, she had started online courses with Lambton college because spring classes had started, hoping that the second application will be successful. When the notes came out there were blunders from the VO.
The VO claimed that her whole family was travelling when she was only traveling with her daughter while her husband and son were to be in Nigeria.
The VO also claimed that the sponsor and the applicant were not bearing the same surname whereas this was not true. Applicant surname was same as sponsor who was her brother-in-law.
The VO was claimed there was little documentation to show relationship between sponsor and applicant, when picture and a letter was written to explain the relationship.
Then the VO also picked out the fact that the statement submitted did not have names on it. (MBS could not be done since the account was a foreign one) at the point of trying to scan and attach, the first page of the statement was omitted.
When the rejection came, it was time to strategize because no retreat, no surrender. She applied to get her semester tuition payment refunded, this was done after like 1 month, then she went back to the drawing board.
Since her grade was a second class upper, she decided to jettison colleges and instead pursue Masters, she applied to Northeastern University in Sept 2022 with plans to resume Fall 2023, the application was fee and she was offered a 15-month programme in Analytics, she had also applied to Toronto Metropolitan but was rejected. Then she went to start building her POF such that by the time she submitted her application it would have been perfect, and we all joined our heads together to draft a very strong SOP starting with an LOE on the last application, the LOE was used point out the blunders the VO had made in that application. She built her POF from Sept 2022 till she resubmitted a new application May 2023 for Fall 2023 intake. This time she did not do upfront medicals because she wanted to see progress with a medical request.

Third Application (GCKey) used because of the documents size
Submitted – 19/5/23
Medical req – 14/6/23
Medical done -30/6/23
Medical passed – 5/7/23
PPR – 6/7/23


Docs Submitted
LOE for refused application.
SOP wey go Harvard.
Reference letter from Husband employer who was now the sponsor.
Study leave approval letter.
Offer of employment letter.
Letter of Sponsorship and gift deed (Husband sent N10mm to her account for tuition)
The lump sum was explained in the SOP.
Resume.
Academic Transcripts.
First Degree certification.
Name change Affidavit.
Letter of Consent from husband for her to travel with the daughter.
Birth certificate for Son, daughter, Husband and herself.
Family pictures – prewedding pic, wedding day pic, honeymoon pic, pic with Grand mothers. There were captions to explain the pictures.
Google search page of data analyst open roles in Nigeria- This was part of the future career plan stated in the SOP to show the applicant had enough options waiting for her she comes back.
Letter sent to day care in Toronto seeking for waitlisting for her daughter.
Joint account statement housing the POF (USD11,590 and N3,500,000).
Lump sum payment of N10m to applicant account a week before submission.
Her Personal account – N560,000.
All statements were sent with MBS.
Reference letter showing she had access to the joint account.
It has not been an easy journey, and she never gave up.

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by Abigbo: 2:00pm On Jul 09, 2023
Please can i get a hint of the reasons i can use, in my previous application i wrote it was as a wedding gift being that my marriage is a year plus but the application didn't go through.thank you!
zubizareta:
Have you been working or doing business for a while? If yes then it's logically expected you contribute something to your education. Also your sponsor being your brother inlaw, you will have to prove to VO why he shud sponsor you. He can also demonstrate his willingness to send some part of the sponsorship money as a gift to you. Then ofcourse you will use your sop to explain home and economic ties, why your brother inlaw should spend tens of millions sponsoring you, explain his capacity to be your sponsor, that's his source of income and attach all supporting documents. Your sop will play a strong role there.

I haven't really had a good job all this while, please what can i term this money that will be in my account so it doesn't raise suspicion and how long should it be there, must it be up to 6 months?
Omotayo25:
the answer is yes even with your sponsor you still need to put a certain amount in your account let say 5 to 7 million to show that you already have your feeding allowance and funds to settle your immediate bills aside the fact that you will be sponsored also ensure theirs is tier between you and your sponsor
