Good evening everyone, please i need your help..... We are family of 3 we got refusal because of finance. So I'm reapplying for my wife and daughter now am not going again. Please is that possible? And another problem is that immediately I submitted our application then I remove the money for the POF now what I want to confirm is that if I build another POF for 4 month with the same bank we use before hope I don't have problem ?

First get your GCMS notes to know why they rejected the first application, if your spouse and baby are going alone for now it will reduce the amount of POF you have to show.

It is always ideal you have your funds for a minimum of 4 months. Though is some rare cases, statement with shorter periods have been used successfully.

Gift23:
GoodMorning everyone
please I want to know who is suppose to write the letter of introduction. Will the letter be written by my employer, or will it be written by me. Can anyone please help me with the format please 🙏🙏

You have to first determine what kind of introduction are you proposing, however, generally letter on introduction is written by one another party (employer, referee etc) to introduce another party (applicant etc)

Check google for various samples.

excel1960:
Good morning everyone.
I got a refusal mail today, reasons stated was home ties and insufficient funds. please what is the way forward?

Sorry about the refusal,you need to apply for your GCMS notes to know the actual reason(s) for refusal.

You can provide your profile for the house to know your details and offer advice.

How much was your POF?
Your current job and course you are going for?
etc

maxyboss212:
Guys please I need all the advice from you all before I reapply

Sorry about the refusal, your sources of funds are poorly documented, despite your big closing balance, you did not pay any tuition. The VO does not believe the funds you have shown is yours since you did not make any part payment, also you did not explain the lum sums into the accounts you presented.

You need to get documents proving your sources of income
Make part payment of the tuition.
Explain lump sum deposits

Rapujoshua:
I uploaded a 3months bank statement, please should I be worried, I am hearing it should be 4months, some are saying 6months, I used a 3months bank statement, should I be worried about it?

Is there any particular reason why you sent 3 months?

desi10mi:
Good evening, all. Please, is it true that if the main applicant applies alone, the rest of the family will have to wait for the main applicant to arrive in Canada before they can apply?

No, you can apply for the family before arriving in CAD. If you are able to show sufficient and available POF for them, you can apply.

Please your professional opinions are needed .
Thank you

APPLICATION REFUSED!!! September 12th applicant

Reason: only based on financial situation

Sponsor: Uncle and myself as co-sponsor

Uncle Paid full tuition of $18,789 cad. ( note my program is one year PGC)

I have $6,000 usd in my Dom saving acc.

I also submitted my Naira account with about 18 million. ( though I have 8 million lump sum which I explained in my sop was sent by my uncle (sponsor) for living expenses. I even included evidence of transaction.

My sponsor submitted his company bank statement with closing balance of around 13 million , inflow 400 million and outflow out flow about 397 million

Now with all dis, how on earth was I refused based on financial status. Could it be the officer that handled my application was having a bad day or could it be the officer made mistake. I have seen people on this trend get refused, and they reapplied with same exact document and get approved.

My program is for January, I am thinking of reapplying, please any idea of what can be done different this time around.

Sorry about the refusal Kenny. My thoughts on this are that the VO did not see sufficient proof of the sources of fund- From your write up, your uncle contributed about 75% of the funds and it seems his sources of fund is the company for which you provided registration docs; however, registration docs shows ownership, it does not show how FUNDS are made by the company and it is also difficult to use a company (Not impossible) to prove sponsorship because their(VO) own understanding of company accounts is quite different from ours. Whilst you have shown the availability of the funds, the VO felt that the documents you provided, did not show HOW the funds were raised. If you provided such documents then the VO did not review them.
You also did not state how you raised the funds in your own account apart from the funds sent to you by your uncle.
- You need to show how the company makes its money and when they say they will sponsor you, how much of their funds will they be providing for you in relation to the cashflow of the company.- via invoices, receipts, financial statements
- You need to show how the funds in your account were raised as well - via salaries,gifts, assets sales.
You also need to apply for your notes to get the details before reapplying.

Rapujoshua:


It is self sponsored
He showed documents of sales of properties, salary account. I do not think it is a financial issue.

The issue is that the VO must have sent a request to his school to confirm if they issued the letters he submitted but received no response. I suspect the VO would have reached out via the school email stated on the school website rather than the information stated on the letter to do a secondary check and received no response.

This is just me thinking, I am not saying it with certainty but request for your notes to know the actual reasons.

Is the school where he lectures a public school?

Kihem:


First one was just because of enough funds which was addressed in the second one.

I suspect the issue you have is not answering the background questions correctly.

please can you send me the emails of the visa officers so I can also send webform too please I beg you please 🙏

Hello everyone, l have been a silent follower of this forum l please wanted advice from you guys l submitted my application in July, did biometrics in July 5th, passed medicals on August 10th eligibility also started in August and my intake starts in january my application has been 16 weeks now eligibility and background check are still in progress wat do l do to get a final decision

God bless you all

16weeks is long time, I believe a decision has been made on your application, start sending emails to at least 5 visas offices to request them to give a decision on the application. Make the email emotional and concise.

Canfulfilment:
@Bobomaigida please do you have any thoughts on this:

BVL dropped on October 25 but no PPR. I was thinking BVL and PPR drop same time or same day. Please someone should clarify, I am getting worried.

Please as advised by @Tradesunmoore, register on the tracker to see the status. A decision has been made on the application that was why you received the BVL.

I pray the decision is positive.

quadtunji:


of what effect is it when eligibility is updated to completed and medical request is issued?

Start packing your bags, you are 95% sure of getting PPR, the only thing that can deny the person PPR is if the person fails Medicals.

Oluwaloniglory7:

Hello Bobomaigida

How can someone cancel VFS biometrics appointment Due to the wrong first name but the surname is correspond with the name on the international passport.

Please how can someone go about this

Is the name correctly written on the biometrics invitation letter? That is the document they will use to capture your record.

pretty1986:
Good morning sir,pls which University or College can you recommend to someone that wants to study Master in Nursing in Canada.A school that have low tuition fee, especially in a province where there is jop opportunity for students.pls reply.

Only Universities offer Master's programme. As for the cost, that will depend on your budget. You can check University of Canada West BC. Then use goggle to check other options.

excel1960:
Please can someone explain to me about this Medical Upfront, I don't understand.
My dashboard is saying that I don't need a medical examination but they will inform me if it changes.
I'm confused.

Upfront medical is when applicants go for medical examination before IRCC requests for it. Applicants do this to prevent wasting time as you will only have 30 days to do the medical when IRCC requests for it. There are usually long wait times to get a spot for the medical exam.

Your dashboard is showing the normal message, if and when you pass the eligibility and a medical request is issued, the message on the dashboard will change to we have sent you a medical request.

Nbv1:


You are among Nigerians who hate the truth, you only believe in your pastor. When you get here like most others do , you will not come back to this forum again.many Nigerian students who got here will never come back to this forum to share their experiences. One is still busy looking for common menial jobs for the past 3 months. They won’t have time to come here anymore! After immigration minister’s announcement yesterday, people on pgwp flooded his page. You should follow important pages to read more on what’s going on and not what you heard . Goodluck

Dear Nbv1

I understand that you want to inform people about the struggles that is prevalent in CAD now and warn people to be aware of them/it. However, it will be better you always balance your intervention, tell us the bad and also the good, because as bad CAD is now, 9ja is unfortunately worse. There is simply no comparision between the two locations. The only way you "enjoy" 9ja now is if you are EXTREMELY WEALTHY" and/or connected to a top politician. How many people have these connections?

Besides, Thousands of people are still moving from India to Canada despite all the issues in Canada, the issues does not deter them at all, infact when they get to Canada, they start trying to bring ALL their relatives/friends over. They full Japa industries in India, where you have Banks (who give them educational loans), consultants, diplomats involved in getting people to travel out to Canada and other countries like Aus, NZ, UK and US. That is what we expect you and our other brothers and sisters already there to be doing, giving advices on how new people can navigate, creating communities' to help others to come over, etc.

The situation in 9ja now is dicey, things are not rosy, and for most people they will rather face the struggle in a society where things will change for the better if you keep your head down and work hard/smart than struggle in 9ja where there is no hope of redemption.

Our communities in Canada should be encouraged to grow to be as powerful as the Indian community, why do you think the changes that were recently announced by Marc were made, cos the issues were affecting the Indian community, if that fake LOA issues had originated from Nigeria, what do you think IRCC and CBSA will do? They would have probably increased our SP rejectionrate to 99%.

See what Prof Christian did sometime late last year/early this year, he and others took the establishment to account and told them they were discriminating blacks like us from coming, that the rejection rates were too high for flimsy reasons.

So please what I want to beg you to do is show us the way since you are there already. Like telling us " Guys things no too balm for CAD now, abeg when una dey come hold money to cater for yourself before you see work". Something like this.

Finally, please know that the more Nigerians you have over there the more you gain respect and power because a bunch of broomsticks tied together is stronger than a single stick.

All the best.

Kate202:
PLEASE ADVISE ME ANYONE.

I was refused study visa on the 25th and I'm trying to reapply again and also tackle the reason for the denial. Please is this a good idea?

Sorry for the refusal.

What is your profile and what was the reason for the refusal.

Ideally, you should request for your GCMS notes to know the actual reason for the denial.

kc6964:


Well , even people with large opening balances have been denied despite having good account statements for one year. The key factor is how well the person can justify the funds in their account. Even if they have a good opening balance and a substantial amount in their account for closing, if they can't explain the funds, it's likely considered insufficient. This applies to everyone. Also, have you ever come across a case where someone was denied due to a low opening balance? Probably note from GCMS NOTE stated

There have many instances where GCMS notes have stated that "account had preexisting low balance and high closing balance within a short time". So, applications have been rejected for that reason especially when the applicant is unable to explain the sudden change in balance with documentary proof. However, when and if an applicant has such case, the onus is on the applicant to explain the transaction history and provide documents that back up the explanation and pray to have a kind VO that will ascribe favourable/positive weight to the explanation.

kc6964:


Yes o. I mean the 1st month I started printing the account statement.

Yes, it matters especially when the balance is low compared to the closing balance. This is if the start of the statement is within the period you are printing.

JumaiAdama:
Hello guys, good afternoon
Please I need advice from you guys.. my study permit application got rejected twice I used a third party sponsor which an organization for my indigenous town and I have also paid my one year tuition but they still rejected me. Please can I change my sponsor to my father? I hope it won’t affect me due to my previous application because I already stated that my study will be sponsored by the organization and I have paid my one year tuition. Please find attached my last GCMS note

Sorry for the refusal
1. The funds that was transferred to you by the union was sent out of your account, why did you send it out?
2. You did not provide any document that shows why the union is sponsoring you, I also suspect you did not explain the relationship between you and the union(you need documents to back this up)
3. There was no financial commitment on your part, it is like the only funds you showed were the one sent by the union which you even dissipated.

maxyboss212:
Good day guys,

I got a refusal yesterday.. any advice for me here

How did you raise your POF?
Were you sponsoring yourself?

milroz:


Thank you very much. .. so no need to include home ties and coming back to Nigeria in my personal statement for admission right?

Yes please

milroz:


Please can someone reply me 🙏🙏

They are different, your SOP for visa application will be broader and contain more information. Your personal statement to your school for admission is just to state why and how the school will be beneficial to you and what you are bringing to the school.

Kaysher:
Hello everyone, I'm a 41 year old lady married with kids and working with a reputable international company in the market research industry as a data acquisition auditor.
I have a 13 year experience in the industry.

Will these and land be strong enough as home ties to apply to schools in Canada to study data analytics?
Thanks in anticipation of your responses.

The profile is okay, you need to have enough POF to cover the for the yourself and and family member travelling with you. Then use the land and extended family as home ties.

Favouralltheway:


Thanks for your response.
My province is Saskatchewan. Saskatoon in Saskatchewan.
My program is for one year; the total tuition is $20,000 and I’ve paid $10,000 and it’s starting Jan 2024

I’ve reached out to my school if I can split the payment for me and they’re kind of insisting that I have to pay the tuition balance before the start of my program in Jan.

If I can even get a job instantly it would be nice. Cos even the news I’m seeing all over SM is not helping. Of people looking for jobs and can’t find and it would be disastrous being stranded in a new country

Except you give your school a visa denial document, they will not refund your money, those guys are stickler for fine print. I will suggest you explore deferring the start date to a date that is within your entry time. Then do the following
1. Draw your budget for the programme.
2, Reach out to all the people you think can help you raise the funds- remove ego and pride now and ask for anything. Nothing is too small now.
3. If you see where you can borrow the funds from and plead with them for repayment in the future, grab it.
4. If your family has a property that can be sold to raise the funds let them sell so long as it won't make them homeless.
5. If you are a church or mosque person, apply to your either of them and beg them for funds, if they have to go collection for you so be it.

askarachi:
They gave me a fake SOA and I refused to use it so they’re not happy about it

I think you should get a lawyer to write them an official letter requesting them to release the letter to you or you will involve the police.

askarachi:
Guys please I need help. My so called agents has refused to give me my deferral letter to use for my visa application. Is there anyway I can get it myself?

Only the school can give you the letter, but why is the agent refusing to give you the letter?

ChiomaMC:
Please for someone that wants to use a landed property as evidence of hometie, what and what are the documents to submit in relation the land which was given to me by my late mum.

The land should have some documents sales receipts, transfer document etc , which a lawyer can use to draft a deed of assignment for you.

Cath1234:
Hi all, please who can write a good SOP please

You can write it yourself, then seek for someone to help review.

RoseJude:
Please I really need loan to pay for my fee please help

Hi, before the loan what was your plan to pay the fees?

Arctope:
!!!!!!!! PPR ALERT !!!!!!!!!

I got my PPR yesterday evening and I'm so happy and overwhelmed with joy after getting a PFL and almost got a 5 year ban due to chargeback of 185$ fraud committed by my agent in my previous application in 2020.

What God cannot do does not exist this was a miracle!

I want to specifically and specially thank Zubizareta that guy is God sent and Amazing.
He assisted in reviewing my S.O.P
and he also assisted in compressing and uploading my files. I was a total novice and I needed all this assistance...he came through for me. I started the application with a useless agent that kept delaying me untill I reached out to the almighty Zubizareta!!!!!.

Secondly I want to also thank Bobomaigida and zubizareta for also assisting me to review my letter of explanation when I got a PFL and almost landed a 5 year ban.

Timeline.
Sept 7. Submitted my application
Upfront medical passed Sept 24.
PFL (Procedural Fairness) October 6.
Responded to PFL Octotober 9.
PPR & BVL October 12.

-Self-sponspored.
- POF ( 21,000 USD)
- First semester tuition paid

Again Zubizareta is God sent. God used that man for me... I was a total novice with a useless Agent that I paid over 400k ... chaii I will still go and collect my money from that woman.

Thank you Jesus!
Thank you Zubizareta
Thank you Bobomaigida

What God cannot do does not exist!

Congratulations brother
