Hello house, I got a friend that just received this mail this morning. About his statement been frudulent , how can he fix this.
That’s procedural fairness letter
She should go to the branch bank that she got the statement of account from.
The bank manager should write a letter attesting the bank statement is legit and any other thing that is required from the bank (the manager will know what to do) make sure the bank or bank manager send those stuff by themselves to the embassy.
the sponsor (sole signatory of the account should also write a letter saying his or her bank is legit and he’s aware of the applicant that used the account statement. The sponsor can also do an affidavit on the student behalf.
Then he should send it to the embassy and also remind cic that the bank sent the proof to them.
He can also get some copies of proofs from the bank so that you can send it also to them but make sure the bank send it to them and the manager or account officer should tell them that they should contact he/she for any more issue.

Ps: The truth is, Your friend is likely to get 5 years ban.
Sorry!

The person should do all these things and leave them in God’s hands.

Your friend has just 10 days to make it right.

You know the implication of the ban and how it can affect your friend to apply for other countries.

10 days is no joke
Just 10 days to make it right or...

Hello Austacus, tell me more about this PeopleReady stuff. I really need to get something during the summer. I plan going to Ottawa immediately I get my passport wednesday.

I just check and noticed I have been issued counterfoil and its valid from 20/05/2019 to 24/01/2020. Maybe as a result of expiry date of my passport.
The one year is not a result of your passport expiration if only your academic programme is 1 year.
That's to say your time has started counting now, so it's left for you to use it smartly NO MISTAKE. These people are becoming stingy with this visa stuff. But this your own is certainly as a result of passport expiration cause it's not even up to 8 months. You should have renewed your passport before submitting (anyways, nothing spoil).

For the PeopleReady they are located at 355 Montreal road (still in Ottawa) or you can call them on 613-842-5048 X 1

Don't call them with a number that's not from Ontario or application number

Call and book your appointment.

[quote author=Thedream1900 post=78562127][/quote]She should change to Algonquin college.
To me, If she wants to change, I would advise her to use that energy and change to red river college cause the life in Winnipeg is sweet plus the cost of living is not high.
The cost for 1 term tuition fee in Ottawa or Toronto would take 1 year and a term (3 terms) tuition in Manitoba plus being nominated for pr is easier in those provinces compared to Ontario And BC

If she insists on coming to Ottawa or Toronto, should get her whmis 2015 (GHS) certificate on health and safety, PHAC Biosafety certificate and OHSA certificate Her lecturer can help her with it if her course is a coop program... Though she would undergo online classes/training and exams to get the certificates through the influence of the school. then she would give her lecturer or school the certificate to be certified.
Or should just goto PeopleReady for real-quick employment after passing the exam and interview.


With that certificate, she will get a job anywhere including hospital asides from restaurant or bartender job related cause they have there owned certificate

Majority of applicants do pass their background checks, which can be attested from their GCMS NOTE after a visa refusal. It's very rare to see an applicant who failed this criminal inspection. Meanwhile, it's after the background checks by CBSA that the documents will then be sent to the visa officer's GCMS database for a complete review and a decision to be made on the application. In some cases, eligibility review might start without any update on the applicant's MyCIC account, this doesn't insinuates that the applicant failed their criminal checks, somewhat the blame at times goes to the unexpected system glitch which takes time for the update to be uploaded. Above all, there is no blueprint for this visa processing thingy as applicant's cases differs in spite of the fact that we try our best to gather precise details from successful applicant's timeline.

@Awuuga thanks a lot for the suggestions and enlightenment. She shall follow suit.
My own chip in
She should move to Ottawa or Toronto for summer ONLY to work. If she has any friends (that lives in an apartment) or family member that can accommodate her for the season

Work experience is very very important here.

Relocating to Toronto or Ottawa is highly crazy in terms of cost of living so I will advise her not to relocate.

Her resume should be in Canadian standard, her friends can help her with it, her school employment supports can also help her with it, indeed can also help her with it. But I would advise she should go through school employment supports or friends formats. She should also write a very good ready-made cover letter so whatever work she wants to apply for she would just do a little editing.

In Ottawa ”PeopleReady” employs every day And they have jobs that pay $22 per hr in this summer.

If she wants to come to Ottawa, she should call them and book an appointment with them. then she will be interviewed and write an exam. After the exam, they will congratulate her.

There are surplus jobs in Toronto, Ottawa and BC but the cost of living is maad.

Viewing your profile, your application is currently undergoing a background check;

BACKGROUND CHECK: means they are matching the information you provided with their records, if you previously committed a crime, refused a visa, ordered to leave a country and if you are a threat to their security or on a wanted watch list. 

REVIEW OF ELIGIBILITY: is the final check and the final stage of your application at the Visa Office. At this point, all of the components of your application are assessed by CIC. They will be checking if you actually QUALIFY for a study permit and if your application meet the requirements of the IRCC Act.
During the eligibility review, the Visa officer will then request for medical check ups as needed by the Visa Office to complete your application.

Most times, it is the Review of Eligibility that some applicants fail to meet because their applications and conditions does not meet the requirements of the IRCC Act (Insufficient funds, course correlation, limited home ties, failure to convince the visa officer that the primary intention is to study). Other checks are just standard procedure for CIC. 

After successful review of applicant application and considering that there were no serious issues in the medical checkup, mispresentation, and security to ensure that you will not be a danger to Canadians should your study permit be approved, the Visa Officer will then request for your passport.


Best of luck
Oga boss what bout in a situation whereby PA have no travel history and criminal conviction and got refused in background checks?

Could it be in background checks maybe they also distribute the documents to the appropriate department for checks then gather the findings to the primary VO to assess if the PA meets the study requirements
??
Well, sometimes they do eligibility review without updating it in MYCIC account but I've seen some application in this forum that doesn't stay 2 weeks and got refused in background checks
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 15 by Austacus:
Greatg0809:
Please what does this mean
With what I can see, they haven't started reviewing your eligibility

If they haven't started your eligibility review
”your application is in progress”

If the decision has been made
”Your eligibility has been reviewed”

If they have started reviewing your application
”We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements” or ”review in progress” or ”review required” (fear review required cause Nah secondary review straight up).

PS: some applications no dey reach eligibility review. I still don't understand what could have gone wrong in background checks. CIC people. Very unpredictable.

All the best in your application abeg next time screenshot it fully. (approval awaits you)

Bless you

Sounds like a plan!

I thought the VISAs were printed in Lagos and not sent to Kenya? I applied online and got an original passport request May 1st. I submitted my passport on the 3rd of May and since then nothing. Mine wasn’t a student VISA though. It was for a TRV but I’m just searching all the forums to see if I’m the only person experiencing this delay.
The transmission he's saying is the transmission of counterfoil stamp or other necessary stuff needed from the visa officer or the visa office that handled your application to lagos consulate unless if your case is different then they may request for your passport to Kenya (which is very very rare). highest, they would call you for an interview in lagos office and if you pass it, you will get your stamp passport instantaneously.

Thanks Austacus good thought. On the other hand my aunt just told me to check flight ticket to Nigeria. But I want to know if I decided to fly to Nigeria, how long will it take to get my passport back. This will allow me take a more better return ticket.
In naija you will get it before 15 working days
If you ginger theM you will get it earlier than 15 business days.
I got mine in 3 days though my poe correspondence letter came a day after I submitted my passport.

PS: to be on a safer side your return ticket should be after the 15 working days
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 15 by Austacus:

Thanks, I will have to send it ASAP. I will have to do this via UPS/DHL as I am presently in Miami , and will be very expensive if I have to fly back to Nigeria. And I am presently routing off my last paper in college (Community college) Spring semester.
I don't think you have to courier your passport to Nigeria.
Write a letter explaining everything to them and sign, then include your biometrics slip that has tracking number, ppr correspondence letter, biometric receipt and passport to VFS global Miami

PS: This process may take up to 1 month to get your stamped passport.

I finally got request for my passport after 8months. But , not sure why they have requested. I though have a valid TRV (visitor visa) they would need to request for my passport.
Study visa and Visiting visa ain't the same thing ( the system they used in processing study visa is different from a visiting Visa) hence you need the study counterfoil to get your study permit in POE.
