please i didnt get account or profile update, but i logged in now to find out that my medicals have been passed and eligibility started but didnt get any mail , should i be worried?

You submitted upfront medical examination that is why u didnt get email notification, you are close to receive BVL follow by final decision
pray very harder, harder, harder now because you are on the HOT seat.

yemupz:
I have not posted here in a very long time. I got frustrated about this whole Canada visa thing and was trying to focus my energy on other things.
But finally, after almost 12months of waiting, approval notice and passport request just dropped.

I know I must come declare here and thank the good people here for all the assistance ad information I received during the long wait. I cannot mention names, but thanks to everyone here for the good work you do. The good Lord shall bless us all with approval notice and passport request

Timeline:
upfront medicals in July 2018
Online application - August 03, 2018
Biometric request - September 04, 2018
Submitted Biometric in Lagos - September 05, 2018
Medicals passed - November 23, 2018 - after several emails
Eligibility review started - May 2, 2019 (after I applied for my GCMS notes and several emails)

Approval notice and passport request - July 01, 2019

I'll have to check the documents I submitted and maybe update later.

Best wishes to everyone!

Congratulation. The wait worth it.
Thank you Jesus Christ

But what of people that submitted applications without sop and got approved?

This is not popular, and do not risk your Application

Meaning of Vague
not clearly expressed; stated in indefinite terms.
not having a precise meaning.
not clearly defined, grasped, or understood; indistinct; slight.
not clearly felt or sensed; somewhat subconscious.
not thinking or expressing one’s thoughts clearly or precisely.
lacking expression; vacant.
not sharply outlined; haz

If the VO write this word (VAGUE) on your GCMS note, know that your STATEMENT OF PURPOSE/LETTER OF EXPLANATION was very poor. Try to work on it in your re-application.

hiambenson:
Good evening to everyone.

I re-applied on June 21st and I'm wondering if there's any current timeline for upfront medicals to be updated in CIC account...?? I know it's too soon to start worrying but my intent is to secure my TRV before Fall 2019 by God's grace. I contacted Q Life Clinic where I did my medicals and they said the results were sent to the embassy on June 29th. Just wondering!

Hope to hear from anyone who probably have an idea about my question.

Thanks fam!

Just relax. They will update when the time comes

Stonecoldsteve:
And so I had an 8 am class this morning (I am a lecturer) and after the class by past 10 am, I get to the office and see a 'Do not Reply' mail for CIC. I log into my account and behold, it's a passport request.

Application type: Re-application
Application Date: 5th of June 2019
Medical passed: 13th June, 2019
Eligibility Review: 25th June 2019

judisco2019:
Hello guys,

I just got my refusal letter now.

I applied on June 7th and did biometric on 10th.

Got BVL on 27th and refusal on 28th.

I have OND and HND in Electrical/Electronics Engineering and I got admission for a one year certificate Program in Truck and Transport Service Technician in NBCC.

The reason why I wanted to do the program is because I have been working as a Logistics personnel for over 9 years. As a logistics person, I was involved with managing fleets and trucks for the distribution of products across the country. Part of the problems we encounter is incessant truck break downs and ending up at the hands of bad truck mechanics. I then choose the program to learn more about truck repairs. I stated all that in my SOP.

The refusal letter I got reads thus:

Dear JUDE CHIBUIKE KANU,

Thank you for your interest in studying in Canada. After careful review of your study permit
application and supporting documentation, I have determined that your application does not meet
the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and
Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). I am refusing your application on the following grounds:
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your travel history.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of
residence.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can
demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be
accompanied by a new processing fee.

Documents that I submitted:
CID Documents
Sponsor's statement of account with closing balance of 8million (My sponsor is my friend) We intend to co-own a logistics company on my return
My statement of account with closing balance of 5million
My Admission Letter
My deposit receipt of 500CAD screenshot
My SOP
My land agreement
My pension with balance of 2m
My parents and siblings birth cert
Police clearance
Sponsor international passport and affidavit of sponsorship and Date of birth
CV
Study Leave from my company
Employment Letter from my company
Employment confirmation letter
Employment recommendation letter from my previous company
Affidavit of Return
2 CAC business name registration

I am 30 years old.

My programs starts on September, I want to re-apply but I want the gurus to look at my profile and advice.

I have also ordered for my CGSM Note.


Kindly advice guys.

Nairobi guys must find any reason to refused application. To me this application deserve approval, may be the problem is from your LOE.
It is good you have ordered for your GCMS note but the outcome will not be more that vague and poorly documented.

MsJu:
I just got informed that my application is being processed in lParis. Abeg any success story from there?

Nairobi guys are wicked elements

Amahjosh:
Hello gurus

I just got a correspondence letter this morning. I applied via online route 7th of June and did biometric on the 11th and my upfront medical was updated to pass on the 13th of June. And today been the 27th of June I got a Correspondence Letter, I guess they have already reached a decision and it a refusal. Do I apply for my GCMS notes now before the final decision comes in to know how to tackle the points raised by the VO and also defer my admission to January intake 2020?

Your application is 50/50
don't accept defeat when you have not been defeated..
You will get Approval in Jesus Christ name

JustMellow:
I disagree.

@JustMellow
Pls can you help me interpret this message from CIC
About VO's Views on every visa Applicant.

In assessing an application, visa officers take into account a balance of several factors such as the applicant's ties to his or her homeland, employment, family, future plans, reasons for wanting to visit, incentive to return home, and previous dealings with immigration and visa officials. Also taken into consideration are “push” and “pull” factors, that is, political and/or economic conditions or an incentive to re-join relatives who have already immigrated, which might be pushing people out of their homelands and pulling them towards Canada.

Juli22:
Hello everyone

I would love to see some vital opinions concerning this issue below:


The Statement of account that I want to submit is ready but I have an issue here because the owner of this account has already used it last two month for his daughters travel pursuit to Canada and currently the young girl is already in Canada.

Would this affect mine because I'm about using the man's statement of account for my travel pursuit as well

Please I need your candid advice

If He can reprint the statement for you, that will be nice.

MsAnne20:
Hello house , I got a mail last week from my school that the deadline for payment of tuition has passed. I replied to the mail by asking for extension of payment cos my Visa is yet to be approved.
.
The school sent me a mail saying that there is no longer space for Sept intake but I can defer the admission to January. Also, the former letter of admission (LOA) should not be used for visa application as it has become void.
.
I have submitted my visa application already with the former LOA. What should be done as soon as I get the new LOA ? i.e do I have to send it via Email to CIC or go to vfs to submit?
.
Please help cc justmellow, frankrobbin1,bracha,qudkom
.
Thanks.

This look like Conestoga College. They are very quick in revoking student from program of Study, if dead line of full tuition payment is not meant.

IceTrice01:
Good day guys, over 2 weeks ago when I collected my passport I found this slip in it, I mailed them immediately because I couldn't find any mail from them, they auto replied that they'll get back to me in 5 days, 5 days was over I them send a reminder mail, but it's still the same auto reply telling me 5days again. I'm tired o, what can I do now? Is there any other mail I could write please? Thanks guys

Sorry to announce to you Bro that is a denial, that is VO's new denial method for the paper route applicant, check email for the reasons, if is not there try link your application online and see the reasons for denial.

Rubicon28:
Greetings to all in this great house, can a cousin based in Canada stand in as my sponsor?? Am new here, though I'd been a silent reader. I need your advice on this. Thanks.

Is not advisable to use someone who lives in Canada as Sponsor. The VO's will see your study permit Application as vogue, baseless and consider it as PULL and PUSH method.

Chukwuemekatehi:
Gcms notes n u said a decision has been made? What do you mean by that?

Your medical updated to passed is almost this date with mine , Your BVL came this same day with mine (June 7) the following day (June final decision dropped for me , and it was dated June 7th.
Now that you have not receive your Final decision, your application may still be in a very good health in the hand of a good VO, probably is waiting for you to submit missing document, which i can not authoritatively say is the cause of the delay! GCMS note will help to reveal missing document or anything delaying your final decision, if it is something you can quickly correct, you do the needful.

Chukwuemekatehi:
I don't understand why I haven't gotten a decision uptill now.
I applied on 17April
Did upfront medicals on 17th may,.
It got updated to pass on 28th may,
I got a BVL on 7th June,

Uptill now, no decision or update. I have sent several webdmforms to them yet no reply.

Please do not send them mail again, just order for GCMS note to know what is problem and tacked it immediately. Anyway the decisions has already been made.

makano:
Hello House, any Conestoga college prospective student here that have successfully paid any fee (be it Deposit fee or full Tuition fee)? Please which payment option is the best Option or rather which payment option did you use in paying ur fees successfully. Anticipating ur replies.. Thanks

Flywire is the best

akins56:
Hello, i am about to apply for my visa, paper route. While filling the questionnaire, there is a place that they wrote "do you intend to work in canada"? Should i tick yes or no? It comes before "do you intend to study in canada". Please i need urgent reply as i am about to submit my application this friday

The question stated, is work essential component of your study?

What you will need to do is to check your admission letter and read it line to line to see if your program has a mandatory practicum. If it has, the admission/acceptance will come with a letter to apply for work permit along with your visa application, then tick for yes.

CharlesRay1990:
Good day ladies and Gent.
You people are really doing a good job here.
My cousin brother who is very active in the US thread directed me to this thread to seek for urgent help. I applied for a study visa on March 26th with an upfront medicals. My upfront medicals was updated to pass on May 15th. I received passport request on May 21st. I submitted my passport on a Friday being May24th.

Ever since then I haven’t heard from cic why the delay not until June 21st they contacted me about a fraudulent bank statement I used for my application. I have been given 10days to respond. Please what can I do, this is my 4th day and the time is fast ticking, I need help. I don’t want to be banned, I have even broadcasted about my traveling. This shame is gonna be too much on me. Has anyone ever excaped this issue before?Please gurus and non gurus your advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks @Frankrobbn1 @Qudom @Justmellow etc

There is no big deal about that! If you actually know that the bank statement you submitted is not fake, go to your bank and print out 1year statement of account with bank reference letter, write letter of explanation stating you never fudge any account statement. That all the documents submitted are verifiable. But if the statement is fake! Sorry is a bank. Act fast broda

ralfudoh:
Its a 5yrs ban for misrepresentation. For your own good, declare any visa denial. Even if its Ghanian visa that you were denied

Stating your other countries previous visa denial or not has no effect to your your Canada Application.

Akpesman:
Pls brethren in the house, in the event that a relevant document, a part of financial documents, was mistakenly omitted when submitting the application, and it was stated in the LOE, what should be done to submit the document to them and to which visa location since we do not know yet the office handling the application. Application submitted on June 17. Biometrics captured on June 19.

Use webform and send it to London, Lagos, Nairobi

hiambenson:
I guess you missed the question. The school didn't give him or her any option(s) rather his/her admission was revoked due to inability to pay tuition on or before the stipulated deadline that was given.

I got you very well, the school gave option for deferment to another winter or spring intake.

hiambenson:
In addition to what kcosam said, I suggest you also apply to 2-3 schools (if you can) offering programs of your choice just to be on the safe side considering the fact that the school which withdrew your application might not be swift enough to offer you admission the second time before your visa gets approved.

if the school has given you an option for deferral for the next two intake, you have no fear.

I will advised new study permit online applicant not to submit medical Exam with their application until they request for it. When they request for it ur Visa is sure.

ghabrhiel10:
I've done this already and no response yet, got the BVL since may 28th, march applicant. How sure are you that a decision has bn made before dishing out BVL?

May 31st my medical was updated to passed, my hope rised and my account status changed to eligibility review, June 7 BVL dropped, June 8 Refusal letter dropped and the Letter was dated June 7.

If you received Biometric letter and no update on final decision, please use webform to communicate with Nairobi guys because your application has been decided before they sent BVL to you. Forget the eligibility review u are seeing on online account after BVL.

Chukwuemekatehi:
When did you receive the biometric validity mail and how long before the refusal?

Medical was updated to passed on may 31st
Correspondence letter dropped June 7
Refusal dropped June8

Aisha77:
I really don't get ur point. Are u saying CIC told u all of this in a mail or u came to a conclusion from their response. Please give us a clear view by sharing more details. Thank you

I mailed them after my application was refused for reasons not associated with my Application. They mailed me back after one week, gave reasons for refusing Application. economy migration, home country family connection, Applicant not willing to return back to their homeland

Hello house, if you receive a biometric letter validation, just know that decision have already been taken on your application, either Approval or Refusal depending on your case. if you receive medical request, your approval is 90% but when your upfront medical is updated to passed your approval is 50/50 (my upfront medical was updated to passed all i got was refusal may 1st applicant). CIC is afraid of economy migrant all in the name of school. that was the mail i got from them this afternoon after mailed for wrongly judging my application.
gather your document and check where the fault is coming from. poor documentation of application can cause refusal

mysticken:
I submitted my re-application online March 6 2019, got correspondence letter that my biometric is for 10years on May 15 2019, but up still now nothing and my resumption date is September, so worried right now

Have your gotten medical request or upfront medical passed

Qudkom:
That's why I said cross check before ordering the gcms note. At least after doing that you can be sure it was the VO that made the mistake.

I have crossed checked, there is non of my family member checked/Ticked to accompany me to Canada. My sponsor is my elder brother. This message must be delivered as error. Canada PM has to check the credibility of their Visa Officers/ Consular s
