Yes

tarmmey:
My thoughts too but we have been living together for more than a year now and we have a child. My refused application i had it there that i was single because it was not up to a year we were living together. So now does she perfectly fit a common law partner?

No you have to request and select the embassy you’re sending it to direct. Then when the password drops add it to ur application

Ucy12:
Oh I see!
It means I have to make a request then. I thought one could use the ones they send on monthly basis via email.

Long post!!! (pls shorten post if you want to reply)

Been a silent reader, can’t thank you all enough for your selfless work, it really helped me. I‘m adopting ogidigan’s method because I think dropping a profile is important. I was desperate for peoples profiles to know if their circumstance was similar to mine.

1st time applicant (though I have an EE profile). 30 year old married (separated) female, self sponsored, living and working in the UK & Nigerian nationality. I studied computing in bsc & msc and I build business software so this is a logical progression- I explained this & that I wanted a promotion in my LOE as reason for study.

VAC: London
Upfront med: Oct 2022
Application submission: 9 Dec 2022
Biometrics: 19 Dec 2022
Medicals passed: 9 Feb 2023
PPR: 3 Feb 2023
Sent passport: 6 Feb 2023
Received passport: 15 Feb 2023
Session: Aug 2023

GC key portal
Education gap: 6 years
Program: MBA
Duration: 16 months
POF1: 4 months bank statement showing 12 months tuition (rather than my total tuition, so just 80%)
Source: Salary (Didn’t touch salary during the 4 months I needed for bank statement).
Source evidence: Showed 1 months payslip and job confirmation letter.
POF2: GIC certificate of 10k CAD for one year maintenance.
POF3: scholarship of 40k CAD (50% off my tuition)
POF4: Deposit of 5k CAD (uni refused me paying any tuition until enrolment)

Proof of Ties:
Showed ties to Nigeria by mentioning my parents in Nigeria. Showed ties to UK with my residence permit, wedding certificate to husband (Brit), my registered company & tax documents, my property documents. Obviously not traveling with hubby so I used he and my sister that lives with me as ties. Also Mentioned how the average earning of my field in Canada is less than Uk so I’ll be inclined to return to the Uk (lol I don’t plan to).


Travel history : 9 European countries
Rejections: 1 US visa in 2016 (due to my stupidity lol, I didn’t know what “residence” meant)

Docs submitted:
- POF
- LOE (with UK residence permit, registry marriage cert, Ielts result (optional), Change of name affidavit, degree certs, professional certifications, resume (I couldn’t fit it in the IMM doc). In my LOE, i wrote an explanation for proof of fund, proof of ties, reason for study (this is extremely important as it’s the 3 things you’re marked on).
- The IMMs that applied to me.
- Visa stamps on current intl passport.
- screenshot of email from Uni confirming they didn’t want any instalment towards my tuition.
- Upfront med cert
- Letter for internship (coop work permit)
- Conditional Offer letter (they were waiting for my transcripts)

Wow! Grace overload

Let me mention that I did not include Police character certificate, land documents or other property documents because I do not have any of those things. It is true that 2 applications cannot be the same, sometimes too much of documents even can get Visa Officers confused. The above listed documents were all I submitted. It is good to read people's TL to be encouraged but some TL will get you intimidated and confused. My application was a self- sponsored. And all I submitted as POF was 10.4m

I am a first time applicant and I have never traveled out of Nigeria before. I never enter plane before self despite the fact that I work at the airport until last month that I went for medical and biometric. Travel history is not a criteria.

The total of my tuition for the 1 year is about 20,000 cad + 10,000 cad living expenses+ 3000 cad miscellaneous.

How I addressed POF.

My salary is around 100k. I knew for sure that it is too little to present as monthly earnings. what I did was to use all the 1.7m I had in 2021 to buy Toyota Corolla. I planned running bolt with it for a good 1 year before submitting my application. I explained that I drive my car on bolt platform on part-time basis anytime am off duty. Each month I make sure i make over 100k net profit from bolt. I submitted 12 months MBS to show that I truly make such money from bolt. I collected a loan of 8m from a co-op society, collected 2m from a friend because I knew the 8m won't be enough to show as POF. I wrote in the LOE that this my friend was a long time friend (classmate) which was true. He had sent money to me (vice versa) severally in 2022. I also showed pictures of us together in 3 different occasions (in school,at my engagement and at a function) and also included his international passport. Someone in Canada even advised that I should not include him that nobody gives anyone such money in Canada, that even parents don't give their children money. But I had no other story to cook because the money had already been sent to my account. I also made sure I paid 1m into my spouse account to augment her salary for her and the children's upkeep so the VO will believe that nobody go press my neck for money in Canada. In my LOE, I also mentioned that while I would be away, there is an arrangement on ground to employ a driver that will drive my car on a FULL TIME basis with weekly remittance of #30,000 to my account and to be managed by my spouse. The weekly 30k + my monthly salary+ other annual benefits from my employer resulted to additional 3m+ (about 10k cad)

How I addressed hometie

Apart from the fact that my family (spouse and children) and job are strong home tie. I became a volunteer with Red cross society of Nigeria just for the purpose of ID card and pictures, and I got that. I also collected a letter from my church. You can buy a pet (🐶, 🐱, 🦁, chicken 🐔) and add it to yours as hometie in your application. Include their vetinary cards and other documents.

Please note, keep your application as simple as possible, no allow NL use TL press your neck. Submit your application as early as possible so you can have peace of mind, and plan your departure well. All the experience I have today was gotten from here because I have been following since 2020. I also handled a friend's application last year. Submitted application Aug 16, 2022 and PPr Dec 26, 2022.... In all one cannot rule out the importance of prayers. I read here where people engage in different and lengthy spiritual practices. I also prayed and fasted for just 3 days and God got involved.

Submit your pending applications now......

I pray that God will come through for as much as many applications this year, especially those ones that that overdue/overstayed for a decision.

I'm available to answer questions hear....if you come to my TL for private engagement or documents, na billing ooooo.... Looking for Raba noww

skentelelady:
You said one shouldn't be intimidated with others documents but these your documents na wa which one is primary school certificate again

Congratulations. May the Maple land favour you in Jesus name

This your documents are not doing justice to your application. Where’s ur sop? Home-ties?
Did you make any tuition payments?
Medicine in canada is very expensive…how are your parents going to pay for the remaining 3 years assuming that the 30m covers your first year tuition and living expenses. Did you add their paystubs, sources of income or business that will pay for the rest of your tuition. Unless ur agent added more documents without letting you know. If not just pray that a kind vo handles ur application.
If you want to relocate for japa reasons best to find another sch n course cause 4years is a long time for just pre med. there are courses that will get you PR in that 4yrs instead of spending so much on school fees but if you can afford it…why not!
My 2 cents!

Harley345:

Good morning, pls I want to request for mybankstatement from GTB. Can I request it online or how do I go about it? Thanks

Wahala… thank God it ended in praise

israel111:
Mine was approved after 7 times....2016 to 2021.

It’s good you’re following your dreams but I don’t think the criminology course will fly because why will a company sponsor you to study criminology when they are not into solving crimes? How will it benefit them in the long run? You’ll need a strong sop to try and convince the vo of this. Good luck

Anabellabee:
I’m new here but need advice…..never been to the university but been working and decided to go back to school to build up my career….I’ve applied to Canada before and was refused due to no travel history and purpose of travel which no tuition was paid….that was 2014 but now I’m doing well financially and also will be sponsored by my company but I work as marketer but with the money for 10 years….I intend to study criminology so I’ve applied to 2 universities for same program but about to apply for a diploma in a college in Quebec…tuition fee is something I can afford coz this time I really need to pursue my dream as a crime analyst but my work experience as a marketer will it push through for me on my SOPi need genuine heart to heart response plus I have a child also but not going with my child for now

Send me a mail if you’re still interested in this

danowena:
Hello guys, does anyone have a property valuation report sample /tool or can link me up with an affordable person that can do the valuation.

My brother's and sisters on Nairaland

I was refused for the second time based on purpose of visit last month.

Now my GCMS note is here.

Please I could not upload it here, but please help me to review the V.O' s opinion below.

"I have reviewed the application, I have considered the positive factors outlined by the applicant, including statement or other evidence. The applicant is 40 applying for a program in personal Support Worker at New Brunswick community college.
The applicant obtained a Masters Degree in arts Humanities/ Social science bin 2018. The applicant has been working bin a Television Station as a photographer, technician, graphics arts, technical and coordinating occupation in motion pictures, broadcasting and the performing arts since 2011, Study plans is vague.
The vagueness of the plan leaves no outline to clarify the career educational path for which the sought educational program would be of benefit or how chosen course will improve job prospects back home.
The study plan does not appear reasonable given the applicant employment and education history. I note that the client's previous studies were in an unrelated field- the client's previous studies bat a higher academic level than the proposed studies in Canada, the client's proposed studies are not reasonable given their career path. The applicant has not provided compelling reasons outlining the reason for ending previous career in home country to commence in a different field in Canada.
I fail to see how the proposed program adequately demonstrate a logical progression of studies career. Given the applicant previous education and employment history. I am not satisfied that the motivation to pursue this particular program at this time in Canada is reasonable".


The first refusal was on personal asset and financial status, which I did all I could do to tackle.

Now, I have applied to Centennial college for Fall 2023 for TELEVISION AND FILM- BUSINESS, please can this course fly for me?

If NO please give me the idea of a good course that will fly.

Please all the guru on Nairaland come to my aid.


Thank you in advance

you can apply for sowp for her as your common law partner even before she gives birth. go to google and know the documents you need

Receipt of Complete Paid school fees from Flywire and Acknowledgement from the school.

My bank statement ticket from Gt bank of 6 months

Letter of salary increase from my office in 2020. I don't have any official employment letter and did not request for any leave.

Some family landed properties. I forgot to submit police certificate but seems it didn't count in the end

Some questions I still have

If a girl is pregnant for me but we aren't married can I still bring her over when the baby is born?

Can I be visiting Nigeria during the holidays and returning or must I remain in Canada till the end of the study visa because my mumsi don already start day cry say she go miss me ?

I already did walk in passport submission on Friday so waiting for collection at the moment. Wish you all good luck

blueberryacres:
Thank you so much for replying, so i just upload the printed ticket and password on the proof of fund section right?

yes

Yes you can get it
Just go to your bank and tell them you want “my bank statement Ticket for embassy “ they will give you a form to fill you’ll input the embassy you’re sending to and the time frame of the statement. Some banks like gt can request it through their apps ( go to statement in your app you’ll see “send to embassy, send to a third party” they will send you a ticket containing password. Print and add to your application.
If it’s not in your bank app you can go to bank and request for it. It’s will save pages that you’ll add to ur application and it’s more trusted by the ircc as they view it directly on the bank database

blueberryacres:
Hi again all,

What is this “mybankstatement” i’m hearing about? Can I submit that instead of a full bank statement during visa application? How can my sponsor get it?

Thanks in advance

If he didn’t want to give you his bank statement you should’ve suggested the “my bank statement ticket “ to him so he can send it direct to the embassy. There’s no harm in that

realestatewithb:
Thank you somuch for your response, yes I told them what I do, and showed proofs.
The thing is it was my uncle that paid my first semester tuition, and he is my sponsor, he also was the one that sponsor my undergraduate studies , but he refused giving me his bank statement, that was why I self sponsored myself.

I was frustrated at the moment, didn’t know what to do again, since he didn’t want to release his bank statement, so I used my account.

Maybe I would have waited, or looked for another sponsor. I am actually a freelancer in real estate and also a chef. I wanted to use one of my Bosses accounts, but I didn’t know how to proof tie with him.

The frustration was just too much, I think I would just talk to my uncle again or look for another sponsor, that can release bank statement to me, before I reapply again. That’s after I get my CBSA notes, since CAIPS is taking forever. Thank somuch 🙏🥺

Just go with your medical payment receipt, passport and appointment confirmation that’s what I went with to Iom ikeja

kassidy07:
Good morning house I has asked this question for days now but nobody replied pls help , my medicals appointment is on Monday and this morning I just called their help desk to know what to come along with as I do be traveling from ph to my greatest surprise the lady said I will need to come with my COVID 19 card is this a new development? Cause I don’t have it

You’re going for a 4 years course and you’re self sponsored so this your calculation should be at least *4 for the for years. Or your wife can sponsor you and then you can show just a year funds. Am no guru this is just my two cents!

ChubaKC:
Thank you Uzorsammy,

Considering that my program is fully funded through GRA, do I need to prove further on tuition payments?
And from my calculations; 1 yr living expenses for everyone summed up to (10000+4000+3000*4=26,000CAD) which is below 10.5m.
Then, applying alone, do you think the pof will be enough?

Lemme be the first to say congratulations

Thanks a lot

johnstan:
If I understand you well, you want to be able to reference the documents you attached. If I'm correct then I don't know how you will be able to do that.
Someone here was able to do that tho but you will need to rely on the ability of the VO tech understanding to decipher that.

How I did mine:
I simply arranged my documents in the order in which I wrote my SOP (I combined all into one PDF).
My SOP was first,
My personal identifiers doc
My School docs
Work/office docs
MBS
Family members docs
Sponsors documents
Home ties doc


That's all, I reduced the pdf to the permitted size and uploaded.

Please I need a reponse on this!!!
@bullstriker @johnstan @goodofnaija @franugo please help

Hello house good evening
Please I need clarity on this ;

When compiling my visa application for the ‘client information’ part
If I want to add some scanned documents but but also want to make some comments under the documents. Do I insert each document into an ms word as a picture and then comment under it (my fear is the document won’t be read able) or I should create a blank Ms document, type in the comment then merge it with the scanned document (won’t the pages be too much and add to the size of the documents
Please people that did their application themselves and have submitted I need a response please am stuck thanks in advance.
