Please house, what does it mean when IRCC requests for an “updated Letter of Acceptance for the next available semester from the intended Designated Learning Institution or proof of current enrollment. If deferred, provide evidence including new start and end date.” ?

Please, has anyone received this before? And what was the outcome?

Thanks in anticipation.
You are probably using an admission letter for a semester that has already begun eg January 2023 or September 2022 and IRCC feels you can no longer meet up with the current academic schedule

Please as a single lady with no landed property or anyone at all, no business because I work for an organisation, what can I use as a hometies cos right now, I feel empty.
It must not be landed properties. You can use family eg ageing parents. Some use jobs or career prospects back home etc. The main issue I believe is usually finance ie you can prove that your tution and living expenses will not be a problem for you.
But please wait for the input of others

Okay bro,to clarify something,is it all schools in Canada that accept Tuition fee payment at CBN Rate?
The school doesn't care at what rate you buy your foreign currency. You are not paying them in naira but their own currency CAD. Normally you will be given a deadline to pay your deposit. If CBN Form A comes through before then, lucky you. If not you would probably have to source black market. IRCC converts your naira in statement of account at official rate though

Who has am Idea on this.
Technically you can arrive as soon as you get your visa and enrollment from the school but they might probably ask for your account balance to know if it can Support you for that long as you are not allowed to work before classes start.

Hello everyone,


I submitted my application 2 and a half months now and I used an agent who for reasons unknown to me refuse to give me access to the portal so I don’t know the progress my questions are as follows:

1. My email is linked to the account so if I get a final decision will it be emailed to me? Or would I have to depend on the agent to know if a decision is made.

2.If i eventually get emailed a decision will the email contain information on if it was approved or denied?

I’m really worried and will appreciate if someone can answer this question.
Don't you have face to face meetings with this agent? He can log into the Portal and show you the status of your own application if he doesn't want to give you his details

Hello Gurus in the house, I need help here please.

I got admission to study a one year post graduate course in one of the colleges and it's a co-op program starting September 2023.
Please I need to know what is required of me in terms with funds.
First I intend to pay the deposit and first semester fee by March.
I heard I'm supposed to have at least 10,000 CAD in my account as POF to cover for the rest tuition and expenses over there, and then submit the statement of account of 4-6 months during visa processing, I don't actually have any money in my account right now. If someone pays in such lump of money into my account and I submit the statement of account during my study permit process, will it be convincing enough? as this is the only way I have to deposit such money into my account, and the length of months for the money to be in my account won't reach before my Student visa application.

Also, I intend to use a letter and statement of account of my brother who is my sponsor. Can his statement of account and letter alone be enough POF for me without my own bank statement?

What is the best way for me? Please, I need clarification here.
Thanks
Since you're using a sponsor he/she can show commitment by
1) paying your complete tution since it's just a one year course
2) transfering your living expenses for a year which is 10000+ Cad and other miscellaneous expenses such as flight and the rest.

If the person does all this plus the letter of sponsorship and his account statement showing it's not his entire savings been used(as that would be unreasonable) then you should be good to go on POF despite your previously empty balance. Then the rest is about sorting hometies and other eligibility issues such as course/career progression

You can also wait for the input of others

Thank you very much.

Please for walk-in passport submissions, must one get to VFS before 10am and will one be attended to without appointment? Also, is it free for walk-ins?

Thank you gurus!
Not a guru though. The day after my PPR, I tried to submit my passport in the afternoon. I was bounced and told to come by 8-10(Abuja). No need of booking any appointment, I don't know about Lagos

Congratulations to you and yours

If the lady in question is your fiancé, it’s advisable you do a common law marriage which is acceptable by IRCC, then you can apply for her to visit or even SOWP depends on you.

And Yes, you can travel in and out as long as your visa is valid. NB: I didn’t say Study Permit.

You can also wait for other’s input.

Goodluck.
Thanks I would prefer nothing legally binding though

Hello guys,
My intake is September 2023 and I have gotten admission can I apply for a visa around February? Or it’s too early. Because I have heard that if you apply early you will get a refusal
February isn't early at all. The school will advice you to apply as soon as possible so you have a buffer incase your application is delayed

What is inside the LOA is first payment is 9k with due date and their was also a second payment too but it is after some months for the second payment, that is it.
The school will normally place a Warning NOT to apply for a visa with their Letter of Acceptance if the full requested deposit isn't paid at the due date. The letter basically becomes an invalid document once that date has passed.
If that is the case and the agent still applied for you with that letter despite not paying the full deposit then
1)kindly proceed to recover all monies paid to the fraud of an agent
2) Start a refund aapplication from the school and I hope they agree to release your funds because you basically attempted to use them in a fraudulent manner
3) If by the grace of God you escape a ban, in your next application even if you eventually leave it to another agent please pay utmost attention to every single document involved both from the school and any the agent is submitting on your behalf. If possible the application should be done in your presence.
Good luck

Good afternoon gurus in the house, please I need you help on how I can address my situation. I got an email yesterday from Conestoga that my program has been revoke due to late/no payment and I have initiated Form A with Access Bank since August 23rd but I haven't been debited for the transaction to the school. The Bank has assured me that the transaction would be sent to the School within few days. Can the revoke be reversed when the school gets the payment or what do you advise me to do at this point if anyone of you have had this particular challenge before? I have been calling the School but the International admission office is not taking calls at the moment and the response I got from the email seems not to be addressing my questions.
This can be quite tricky. What you can do is to monitor the program and make sure your intake is still listed as "open". If your deposit comes within this period then they will likely issue you a new letter but if the program is closed then they might have no choice than to defer your program, offer a new program
(which you might not want) or simply cancel your admission. So please familiarise yourself with their refund policy incase of any arising situations
