Congratulations! I also applied for a visitors visa on the 25th, still waiting for them , I have a valid usa visa too and I’ve been to the usa several times , the application was too short and too good to be true so I sent additional docs via webform.

thank you! Just hold on sis.. it’s really close!

Hi guys! I just wanted to drop this here. I have an ongoing SOWP but I applied for visitors visa with the new portal on the 28th of October and it got approved today. It’s actually possible to apply for visitors while waiting on another TRV or PR application. I understand that this is something some people may not be brave enough to try without seeing who it has worked for first, which is why I dropping this here. Good luck guys!

Hi guys, I just got passport request!
I applied for SOWP earlier on but I realized it’s a long thing (still pending) so I reapplied for visitors visa on the portal on the 28th of October,2021. I didn’t receive any update till this morning .

Good news! I pray this new development triggers PPR next week!

Frankrobbn1:
Exactly, this is where case notes are very much helpful than the generic message pasted on the applicant's MyCIC account.


It will end in praise.

Hi Mr Frank, please I sent you an urgent direct email. Please respond when you can. Thank you!

skull4eva:
Please how long does it take to get the GCMS notes after it has been requested ? I applied for it yesterday. Please i need your response.

30 days but of recent it takes only 15 days

eightyeight:
Are you resuming this September or January

September

Pee2Jay9:
Congratulations are sure in order..
Pls state the reasons for previous denial and how you addressed them..
Are you for masters/uni or PGD/college?
What is currently showing on ur application portal?
Pls did you submit Police character certificate?

Previous denial was based on ties, financial status and purpose of visit.(initial application was done with spouse)
Reapplied without spouse to address ties. For funds, I invested the available funds in TB and presented investment certificate and reference letter stating it was fixed for 6 months. I also presented thé breakdown of remuneration and benefits from my place of work. Study leave letter stating immediate reabsorption on return. For purpose of visit, I tried to make my career plan a bit more specific and detailed. I am looking at a masters program in University of Guelph. Police certificate was submitted.
On the profile, it’s still saying eligibility under review. Medical is still under review too.

Hi guys! So I applied for gcms notes on the 5th Via applygcms and it was quite insightful though I can’t explain the meaning of most terms and codes. Received it yesterday.
Timeline:
Reapplied: June 10th
Eligibility passed on gcms: 30th June
Medicals review assigned but not started: 30th June (I submitted upfront and I noticed it has been under review since July 1st. I don’t know why)
Criminality: Passed
Information sharing: Complete, ready to be reviewed.
Original passport request assigned but not started: 30th June
AIP sent: 5th August but I received on 6th
Officers notes: previous refusal noted, rebuttal in SOP noted. Documentation adequately supports proposed study(in my own words). Eligibility passed. Final decision pending biometrics and medical result (even though the application is complete.)

So fingers crossed.

AIP received ���� Applied June 10

Frankrobbn1:
Once it starts reading WE ARE REVIEWING YOUR MEDICAL EXAM and review of ELIGIBILITY are both running concurrently, you will definitely receive a medical request shortly.


Congratulations!


It will end in praise.

What about when you have already submitted medicals with the application Since June 10, what does this review mean? Mine has been reading reviewing medical report since July 1st. Eligibility and background running too. Has anyone experienced this?

orlahtohbadt:
WES is quite different. It is done course by course, so the person inputs each course with his grade for evaluation and not the final CGPA for evaluation.

Ok

orlahtohbadt:
I'm sorry but that is not how it is done. A WES evaluation of a third class degree with CGPA of 2.36/5 gave 2.74/4. It's not by percentage.

Well I can’t say for sure how it’s calculated but 4.5 on a scale of 7 is definitely less than 3 on a scale of 4 not more than 3. It is 2.5 out of 4 precisely.

Tarry:
Evaluate your grade on WES. 4.5 of 7.0 is above 3.0/4.0 and you will meet minimum admission requirement of many schools in Canada

[quote author=Tarry post=91792724]This statement is false. 3/4 is 75%. While 4.5/7 is 64%

Frankrobbn1:
You shouldn't panic okay, the visa officer is reviewing your medical result from the panel physician in order to ascertain that you won't be a risk to the Citizens of Canada. Should the visa officer have any concerns about your medical result, they might request you to redo the medicals. Meanwhile, this may occur on a rare occasion. Most likely you will pass the medicals in the long run.


It will end in praise.

Thank you very much

Hi guys please my profile changed to ‘we are reviewing the results of your medical results’ Last Tuesday instead of medicals passed.. medical was submitted upfront though blood pressure was high on the the day of the exam. Please is this Status normal or is there problem?

sterlingwaterlo:

Vesment:
School is resuming September 3rd, no time on my hand

I can imagine. Maybe you can just take it there yourself if it will be faster. You may resume a bit late cos from what we see on the thread, passport request takes from days to couple of weeks to process. Let's hope yours is speedy

Claraben:
Visa approval alert!

wow able God!

Vesment:
Do you have their number ?

no dear but you can google it or ask any of our gurus here. If you can't get the number, the best bet will be to go there and ask them to mail it when it's ready.

Vesment:
Please which is the fastest way of sending and receiving passport, submitting direct or sending through dhl and paying for return? Am in ph and I can't go to Lagos that way

you can call vfs and discuss the DHL option because it will cost effective and less stressful cos you don't even know when it will be returned and you can't be waiting in Lagos till whenever it's ready.

anyway just a recent graduate and got a job immediately after service. used it as a proof that i will return. i didnt put my bank statement, i explained that i have not worked up to 4 months to attach it.

all awaiting PPR will recieve thiers

woww congrats

raymege:
But we've seen people who are even 100 years old get Study permits here and outside.

Truth is, what could count as an advantage for a 100 years old to a VO could count as a disadvantage(and vice versa) for a 20years old, example a 20years old would most likely demonstrate less home ties than a 100 years old.

There is some element of truth to what he put up, but an application is all ab9ut countering the grey issues you think would be a concern for the VO and provide some clarity.

The age factor and gap years can always be countered.

It isn't illegal or a crime to want to study even if you are 100 years old.

lmaooooo @100 years old! Nawa!

UBCcookies:
Yes, I submitted the family formform that had provision for siblings and the code of the family form I submitted was IMM5645e but the stated code from the request letter is IMM5645

OK find out if it's a different form and then send with all the other documents our experienced colleagues in the thread have advised you to send.

Blema111:
Ordering notes would take another one month...it’s just best to wait. The first webform I sent, I got this response. That few coming days is relative.

it's a good sign they want to send medical instructions. That's a ray of hope. Congrats in advance

Ayodeji786:
Hello, Goodmorning all.

Please any June applicants here that is fully funded by the school and still waiting for medical request or yet to hear from IRCC about their study permit application. I and Blema11 application is going to 11wks already. We applied the same day.

online or paper?

UBCcookies:
Good day team, thanks to everyone that have contributed to this great thread. I'm July 8 and I got a request letter for my transcripts, duly completed family form(imm5645). I submitted the completed family form with my application and I don't know why they're asking for it again. House, please do I have to submit their birth certificates since I didn't do that? I need your advice

In my opinion, you should just send what they asked for specifically. Birth certificate of your siblings is not a requirement and they didn't ask for it. Also did you fill the family form that had provision for your siblings? Cos there is an older version of the family form that doesnt. Confirm its the same code with the family form you initially submitted.

Urielbam:
the evil mail has dropped.i am just sad.
I need helppppp

Take heart dear, chat up one of the gurus in the house so they can help you re package. A refusal after a long wait is always disheartening. It's well.
