It’s really bad here that’s why the government is cracking down on new people Coming it. Lots of people are struggling to survive here now. Newcomers can even afford to buy a home anymore they can’t get mortgages, cost of living has gone up, difficult to get a common minimum wage job not to talk of skilled jobs.

Only 20 percent of the population earns from above 100,000 cad a year. Majority of the people earns below 40,000 cad a year after tax of which out of those majority, huge percentage of Them gets 30,000 cad downwards a year. Do the maths for monthly earnings . Between 2200 to 3800 cad a month after tax! You will think that’s a lot when you are doing exchange conversion back home but here it’s nothing, you can’t survive here with that money. Self contain here in Ontario where I am now goes from 1800 to 2500 cad a month just one room self. You can’t even rent 2 rooms it’s really expensive. Even if you are in other provinces many are going from between 1200 to 1800 cad . Grocery is not there, gas, phone bills and car maintenance. Now tell me what will you do with that money.

Many people who haven’t traveled will not understand life abroad. You can say everything is beautiful bla bla bla road light whatever but you have to pay the price. That’s why people can’t even buy a home .you must have a combine income of approximately $263,300 in gross income to be approved for the average home price of $1,103,600 in Toronto. These houses now going for around 2 million. Now tell me someone earning 30k or 40k even with the spouse income won’t be able to get ordinary mortgage to buy a home that you still have to pay for balance for the next 25 to 30 years if you are even still alive to finish payment and still have a job to escape foreclosure. Even in provinces where houses are cheaper , it’s still difficult to get the money for down payment. Those who own home in nigeria are better off than here in the sense that you don’t have to worry about mortgage in nigeria , and many don’t pay property tax bla bla the only thing is the value of the house. If you don’t work here and have a mortgage you will have high blood pressure everyday coz you can be homeless anytime. This is why anyone earning between 500,000 to 1000000 a month in nigeria and own a home is far better than those here earning minimum wage.

Those who came early are lucky because things weren’t this bad. Now it’s so worse to the extent that malls are canceling self checkouts Walmarts , no frills among others because the people are bypassing goods while scanning their cart items , people will buy 10 goods and scan only 5 because no one is checking them. The crime rate is going up.

If your parent isn’t rich and you can’t survive on your own for atleast a year , it’s better not to come here . Plan before making that move. I know a student doing Uber eat using electric bicycle. Makes just 40 dollars a day. If not for his parents sending him money he would have gone back to India. I wish people know how cold it is. Imagine riding Uber eats on bicycles at night in the cold. He is not his choice to do this , he has been looking for jobs for 3 months in Toronto without success, not even a cleaning Job.

evansky:
CAD10k, you will have to declare this also at the POE.

nonesense:
Congratulations. Please, i wanna ask what date did your family do the medical. Thank you

Predator188:

I've checked your SOP you posted which you said is yours ..since you said I should check your time ..
You said your education is in pure chemistry Bsc...worked as a laboratory chemist in your country...
Pursuing a higher education in the field of chemical laboratory technician from Canada...
Durham college in Canada...
There is no career change..so you can't compare your application with the other applicant...
The bottom-line is that you compared your application with the other applicant that's the point
And NB I didn't state you can't change career in my post ..

Asking for a friend :

Good day to all the Gurus in the house,
please we are in a dilemma and need your help and contributions.
We submitted application for spousal open work permit on December 2022 and a visiting visa for our 2years old son and till now we are yet to get a response from IRCC.
Updated proof of account was requested on May 2023 and it was submitted.
Medicals was requested on June 2023, son's medicals was updated to pass June 30, 2023
Spouse medical was updated to pass July 08, 2023 and since then we are yet to get any response from IRCC.
GCMS notes has been requested multiple times now and the notes says recommend interview for son , and eligibility passed for spouse.
We have sent numerous webforms but no response
sent mails and no response still.
We have also contacted the MP on November and he said IRCC said they will expedite the application.
but as at of present no response.
Please what next can we do .
thanks

Predator188:

But is your circumstances and the applicant circumstances same the VO claimed that the purpose of study is not consistent ...the applicant switched careers twice though the course the applicant intend to study in Canada is not stated on GCMS may have intended to pursue different career again...and ircc also give priority to study permit applications based on programme of study especially those in Health care and technology where there's in-demand occupation in canada they obviously knows what they are doing..including previous study from developed countries like UK 🇬🇧 and 🇺🇸 usa etc they give priority to these applicants...that does not mean that you won't meet eligibility requirements..they treat each application differently...
If I may ask what is your program of study in Canada in which visa was approved...?
Like I said earlier next VO will refer to the previous refusal if no advancement they may flag again...

idirect:

Are you in a post-graduate or post-secondary diploma?

idirect:

I want to agree with you that the SOP is bad. What's your comment on technicalities involve with her admission now please? The school approved her request to defer but they informed her that the certificate program (one year) has been discontinued and they only offer it in diploma now (2 years). She accepted the offer and waited for her visa decision which was eventually not approved.
Do you think it's best we write a reconsideration letter and include a justification for why she needed the program or she should submit another visa application with the diploma offer?
Thank you

Predator188:

Writing a Reconsideration letter and include a jurisdiction why she needs the program will contradicts "inconsistent" to what is already submitted in the application, so that won't work even program is invalid...

From GCMS : the applicant demonstrates through their submitted documentation that they possess an acceptable combination of education, training and experience in their respective field

With Bsc and work experience application for a diploma program or previous will be refused next Visa officer will refer to previous refusal..
The applicant needs to apply for Msc..

idirect:
Good evening people. Please I need advice on how best to approach this situation. Attached is the note for my friend.
She has deferred her admission in December from January when there was no response on her visa decision. The school approved her request to defer but they informed her that the certificate program (one year) has been discontinued and they only offer it in diploma now (2 years). She accepted the offer and waited for her visa decision which was eventually not approved.
With this GCMS note, I want to ask if it's best we write a reconsideration letter and include a justification for why she needed the program or she should submit another visa application with the diploma offer or possibly apply to seek MSc admission in another school. I would appreciate your opinion on this matter, please.

iykedpetes:
Hello everyone, Can someone help me with the Nigerian link on how to get the GCMS Note? Not the $5 link, thanks

Good day everyone.

Please I have serious dilemma. In 2021 me and my boyfriend applied for a study visa in Canada on the same day but separate applications and we both got our visas approved. He got 2 years visa and I got 1 year visa. We couldn’t travel because of one thing other. My own visa expired in 2022 and I couldn’t travel. His visa is expiring February 2024 but he travelled end of December 2023 so he has resumed classes and now he is about extended his study permit. We have both decided that I come over there under the spousal open work permit as his common law partner. Though I currently running my masters degree in Nigeria.
Please I just have a few questions;
1. Going there as his common law partner will it contradict the SOP I wrote earlier, how do I defend this so that i don’t contradict myself because I said I was studying that course to come and take over my dad’s business

No it wont. Plans do change and a good SOP that explains your intentions without making the previous intention a total lie will work.

2. Is it the bank account of my partner who is already in Canada that I will use as my sponsor or is it my bank account

You must show that you are working in your home country and not a liability to Canada. you must show you are not looking for a way to escape. so you must have a stable income or an account with decent flow and balance. both accounts is recommended.

3. If my partner got a cash gift of deed in his account would that affect if he can sponsor me or not?

Explain reasons on SOP and support with the document.

4. With the new increase in POF for study visa as of 1st January 2024, where a single applicant has to 20,635 CAD and if he is bringing a family member it’s 25,690 CAD. How much do I need to show as POF?

Add what ever expenses he will be making to the POF. ( flight. complete first year fee. accommodation etc)

5. Is it his gc key account we would use for this application or am I meant to create another gc key account to start my application since my study visa gc key account has expired?

Use your GC key. visa expired or not. will be wise to state why you did not travel with your previous visa on SOP
brief explanation. Canada appreciates transparency

6. Is it compulsory to show any notarized common law partnership certificate? Or can prove our relationship through pictures, texts conversations and the house we rented together?

Notarization is not important. proving that you telling the truth is most important. Eg joint account. shared bills. evidence of living together before he left. anything that showed you guys were living as partners

My answers are based on Experience and Ideas and so is not a must to acknowledge.
only use it as a guide and make your detailed research

Mamaoseme33:


Thank you so much for your response. However I want to ask if my spouse can use an account he opened this January with money fixed in it as POF? Note that I will add my own to it. And how much will be enough for 3 children above 5 but below 11 and a spouse for POF?

Mamaoseme33:

My question are;
