@Xrystal, a big congratulation to you.

Btw, you might just start answering a bro, atleast for this moment! . Seems your gender warning isn't going to be seen due to overwhelming joy of fellow members!

Congrats again and all the best to you.

At Austinpee4 please have concluded in using paper route. ...Please I didn't see the form they wrote if I have ever been deny a USA visa before. ....I have been deny USA twice. ...or I mine missing something out

The question is in the IMM 1294( application form) and it's under the background questions section.

"Have you been refused a permit, visa or asked to leave canada or any country before"
You should tick 'YES' in the appropraite box and then give a brief details '

' I have been denied a US visa in so so years'

So check the form very well, you will see the question on the 4th or 5th page.

bbclue:
Autinpee4 please email me your number please. ..bbclue@yahoo.com

Austinpee4 please I need your help urgently. .....

Urgent help! What could this be o?

Please, i hope we can tackle it here.. I have so much PM and it's almost not likely i'm able to respond to every one of them. So i usually suggest we spill whatsoever it is that concerns studying in canada here so a wider view and opinion can be given.

And also, i may not give out my contact anymore. I remember an incident recently where one moniker here became so apprehensive and rude that i didn't reply to his mail (one he never sent or atleast wasn't in my mail box) and that i shouldn't be here if i can't help people like him with his issues. Ok na!

So please my dear bro/sis, i don't want to offend anybody wey i no sabi knowingly or unknowingly. I'm still a very young upward mobile agile young man! with a plan to atleast blow one whistle for naija! Lol.

Abeg no vex for me o aunty/uncle, if it's about something that can derail the thread, then you can send me a pm but if it is pertaining applications,i'll still advise you share it here so others can benefit.

Regards.

@Maziude, my oga @ the top, biko, i'm sending you a pm now, need some clarification on something.

akmog:
@Austinpee4
Thanks for your responds. Please I need clarification on some things concerning the application I want to re-submit
1. Do I need to do medicals again since is not up to 2 months I did upfront medicals for the initial application that was rejected
2. Do I need to add all the documents I added to the initial application without removing anyone.
Thanks

1. You do not need to do any medicals again. The one you did is valid for 12 months and beside, if they updated medical passed in your previous application, only a final decision will be made in your re-application which will make a decision come faster.

2.I sugest you add documents that will emphasis your purpose of going to canada, your background, proof of funds, hometies, etc. If the documents you used previously are strong evidence to these, add them while also updating the ones that needs to be updated( Bank statements, date of signed documents, etc) and add them again.

And please do not forget to add the statement of purpose explaining all about your background, career, proposed program and study plan.

All the best bro

bbclue:
Okay. ..but will I use black biro to write it and later fill it online at Austinpee4

Download it, use your computer to fill it, save it and then upload it online. That is the simply process. You don't need biro any where when applying through the online route. You will still sign before you submit your application using your full name.

bbclue:
Okay Thanks....have downloaded it....what about imm 5483.....imm. ..5832E

The two forms i mentioned are the ones you need for online route.

bbclue:
You people should please attend to me na
I want to asked what are the imm form for filling online route and the website to visit

You will first download the IMM 1294 and IMM 5645 and fill with your computer (use the latest version of Adobe reader) and then upload to to your online documents checklist. Do not print and sign. You will still sign online when you have finish uploading each file.

Here is the link of where to download the forms.

Good morning guys! I am new here and I've been following this thread anonymously and it's been helpful. I have a question please. I submitted my application for a study permit few weeks ago and I'm worried about this police certificate issue. I lived and worked in Qatar for up to 9 months between 2014 and 2015. Do you think I will be asked to submit a police certificate from Qatar. Although I can make effort to request for the certificate but I still want to confirm from those who have experienced this before so I know whether to go ahead with the request or not before IRCC sends a mail requesting for it. Many thanks.

Since you submitted already, just relax. If the police report is needed, be rest assured IRCC will request it from you. Your application will not be refused because you didnt include it.

@Austinpee4 I sent you the mail this morning.... From a seperate email. Malomo eyitayo

@DatechMan, @Yomalicious, @Austinpee4
My supervisor was the one that asked me to put in for another master with the hope of transferring to phd in the second year so that it will boost my chances of getting scholarship. But I have informed him about the rejection, he promised to give me a letter to the vo, explaining why I was admitted for master and the intention of transferring to phd in2nd year.

Concerning gcms, I would have liked to request for it but the processing time is long and with that i wouldn't be able to make sept entry. And if i differ my admission to Jan, I wouldn't be able to do that for my scholarship and the truth is that without the financial support, I wouldn't be able to finance my study.

Pls reply. thanks

I do not really think it is because you are going for second master program. It would be because you did not justify why you are going for your propose program and establish the relationship between your current work and your proposed program.

The letter from your supervisor could help but you also need to explain to officers how your career in telecoms will improve as a master in space physics. You have to really do this well.

Well, i can understand why you may not want to defer. The burden now will be on you to show that you need the master you intend to pursue.

Hopefully you are able to do this well. All the best bro.

@austinpee @thesoj @folumade1 and to everybody on this canada student forum may all our dreams come through in Jesus name.

please let us all be weary of this user, really don't know her moniker but her email is tania.ogaje@yahoo.com. i met her here on this platform too and thank God for his guidiance she nearly misled me trying to introduce me to forging statements that she did hers and her passport was approved, she even said she has travelled to Canada and has been comnunicating with me randomly on chat.

I became wary when she asked me to credit her naira account that she is broke in Canada, so i asked her how do you intend withdrawing she said before she left she settled her account officer who now enabled her naira card. Immediately i went on red alert coz i am a banker with a 9 years solid experience and i know that's not possible. Well i played along and said no probs ill assist her but where is her province so i could send money directly to her

Anyway tired of writing bla bla bla guys just be weary
she could be very dubious....... just trying to be my brother and sis keeper

Na real wa! Glad you didn't succumb to this. Thanks for alerting the house!

@Austinpee4, this is my profile has u requested
Propose Program- MSc. space Physics research (although I wanted to applied for Phd but my supervisor asked me to put in for master with the hope of transferring to phd in my second year)
current qualification- BSc. and MSc.in Physics
work experience- more 5years experience as a transmission specialist in telecom industry(i.e I manages transmission equipment like vsat, microwaves etc, and my propose program in space physics is to investigate how atmosphere affects radio signals from satellite and transmission equipment)
Source of funding- got financial support from school($28000 CAD), Myself (3.5m), My uncle as co sponsor(with swear affidavit by a notary )
Landed properties document - for myself, uncle
My marriage cert, daughter and wife cert (pls note, they are not accompany me to canada is stated in the application)
My wife letter of introduction from her place of work and her pay slip to show she can cope when I'm away
My payslip
statement of intent
But my visa was deny due to purpose of visit and travel history.

Na wa o for CIC! na any slight thing dem dey pick on. You application looks good. The problem likely will be the relationship between your work experience and your proposed program.

One thing we must understand is that these officers do not completely understand the indepth description of roles of work experience/current activities if they are not directly in line with the proposed program. They just want to see the same line or current activity with intended program. Anything allitle different, we must broaden their scope and relate how the current job is either a good part of the the program or an aspect of it that need further development. This is where the statement of purpose will come in.

I think you need one that will better open their mind to these terminologies, their application in your career in telecoms, how the master program in SPACE PHYSICS would further add and in what capacity.I mean, questions will bother around
1.why space physics?
2.Does this person have any research or work as a space scientist?
3.How will space physics add to someone working in telecoms?
4.If he says he will come back after study, how will he use space physics in nigeria since he has 5 years experience in telecoms?
5. How will space physics add up in telecoms?

I would assume a visa officer may want to understand how space physics and telecoms go together and how your proposed program would significantly add to your advancement having a career in telecoms.

They probably would think you are going for the master because you have a physics degree and not because of your current activity. You will have to prove them wrong and tell them all about your job and how more knowledge in space physics would add to it and make your career improve. If you just graduated from university, they would have seen your intention to study space physics as genuine atleast to research on space technology.

Beside, your program is research based and to say you intend researching on an area you are not currently having work experience in or have not completely enlightened a visa officer about possibilities with your master program will be seen as a non genuine move.

All the same, i still suggest you order for your gcms note. It will be more revealing and then we can hit the nail on the head. Meanwhile, start thinking and putting down the areas in your current job that directly relate with your program and if need be, do further research on some area of application space physics has in telecoms.

@Austinpee Thanks bro for the response, I have gone through the thread from the beginning to end that was why I was shocked and disappointed that my application was rejected. Going through all ur comments from first to the last I finds out that u are more experience. Your critical analysis is super. That is why I felt if I can be opportune to have a private talk with you, you can pick out one or two flaws in my application. Concerning gcms, the processing time is too long and my application might not meet up with Sept resumption bcoz it was stated on my admission letter that it valid till 8th of September. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks

I understand my bro. While i'll like to help you in your re-application, i'll most likely want others to benefit too. One or two persons may be in your exact situation and may not know how to go about it. With a collective contribution of everybody here, you can get your issue tackled better than just an opinion of myself alone.

So bro, i appreciate and feel priviledged that you'd like me to help u, i also think we should help others too while at yours. I hope you get what i mean.
So let's start by you sharing your profile(proposed program, undergraduate course, work experience, etc)

By the way, i'll really recommend that you still order for your GCMS file. This is the only way you can acurately tackle the concern of the visa officer. If your program is still opened for another term, do well to defer it if you feel you can't meet up with september. It will be for your greater good. You may feel you can sufficiently tackle the reasons on the refusal letter but the GCMS file will be the first point for another officer reviewing your re-application and your new application will be reviewed from that inference. So please order for you note.

Regards bro.

Many thanks Sir. The profile is nothing ooo - its life of a hustler. I give glory to God for the funding because all PhD admissions I got in the last three years were without funding and I had to forgo them.

I must commend @Austinpee4 for your tireless efforts at helping others - sometimes I wonder where you get the energy from. God bless you my brother!

Wow! Happy for you bro. God bless you too.

chybaz:
Pls help. I have 80% of documents ready. Should I start applying for my study permit or wait until they are all complete. Time isn't on my side again.

You need to have the MOST important documents, if you do, then proceed. Whatever the 20% remaining documents are, don't leave out the important one(s).

@Austinpee4, good day bro, I just left vsf after collecting my passport, unfortunately my application was rejected. Pls I will like to talk for advice. I will appreciate if I can have ur mail so we can talk. Thanks

Bro, sorry about your application. Actually, all the advise you can get from me and even better ones are here already.I may not be able to give sufficient information or advice more differently from what have been shared here.

If you patiently go through this thread you will find usefull information that will help your re-application.

Meanwhile, you may want to order for your gcms file through http://gcmsnow.com as well as share your profile here so you can get further help.

chybaz:
ok if I use online route will I have to submit or show original copies of scanned documents

Which ever give a clearer picture and good quality of your images.

CanadianNurse:
bros according to what I was told at the bank when I was paying my fees through my dorm account.... The telex is generated after the payment has been received.... So once you get a Telex Copy the school can just use the details on the telex copy to narrow down their search and check for reflection of your payment..

Yea, i agree with you @CanadianNurse AKA mr detective . But then, some international currency transfer involves a third party(eg. Western union business solution). Funds will have to reach them first before reaching the school. In this case, a telex is also generated after payment but funds would still not reach the school immediately a telex is issued.

All the same, you have a point.

chybaz:
Thanks a lot @CanadianNurse and @Austinpee4 . I will send the telex to the school. Please one more question. Is it better to use online route or paper route.

I doubt your school will use the telex copy to issue you an official reciept. Fund will have to be received by them before the issue reciept. So while sending the telex, exercise some patience till your payment is recieved.

Regarding which route is better, non is better. You can go for any depending on what is convenient for you. Both are subject to the same processing time and review.

sundaydammy:
the $23 GCMS notes fee is it Canadian or US dollar
Thanks

US dollars

chybaz:
Good day all, please I paid my tuition fees upfront and got telex copy from bank only. I want to go and apply, pls is it advisable to use it.

I'll advice you get your official tuition payment reciept as issued by your school and add to your application.

House please I just downloaded form 5832 and is only 19 pages

Print only the questionaire pages(17-19) and fill with a pen.

Yomalicious:
Hi @Austinepee4 the iMM 5832 form. There is a part that states are you going to work in canada. Is it safe to say yes since students are allowed 20hrs per week. If i say no, would i be banned from working. Please advice me. Thanks in advance

I'm not very clear regarding the part asking such question. The questionaire questions of the form were more about the intended program. Ensure you are filling the correct part of the IMM 5832.

Nothwitstanding, your answer should be NO if such question is in the questionaire. Your main purpose is STUDY. Working 20hrs as a full time student will be a benefit accompanying your study.

@Austinpee4, @Folaroyal and everyone, Please I would like if you can help me address the following.....

I have valid visit TRV that will be expiring in October 2017. I have visited Canada ones with it. However, as I like to plan things ahead, I'm planning to visit again in December this year for my annual vacation but my current visa will be expired by then. My questions are as follows:

1. Is it possible to apply for renewal of my visit TRV before the current one expires?
2. And if yes, how early can I send in the application?

Thanks.

1.Yes it is possible to renew your visit TRV.

2. This will also be dependent on the processing time stipulated for each region. But you should apply for a renewal atleast 90 days before the current one expires.
