IRCC how far ooooo

That’s probably part of the reasons. You need to create a company account. Keep the business money separate from your personal money. Let there be a clear distinction between the two. Then, be paying yourself salary on a particular day of the month. That is, into your personal account. So you can be doing maybe a 300k (or more) transfer every 25th from the business to your personal account. Make sure your personal account doesn’t get random large deposits that you cannot explain. Also, the cac papers showing everything about you should be included. This is something you have to work on for the next 6-7 months before reapplying. You need to be very intentional about your next application and don’t give them ANY reason to deny you. Just try not to leave any stone unturned. Also, if you’re married or have children, that should give you an edge as your reason to return.

Thanks, I used my personal account, I do not have a company account for my business. Also, did not submit the cac papers that shows my full name as the owner, I only submitted the cac certificate.

Please in recent times, does the UK send refusal letter to your email before you go for your passport pick up?

Chai…sorry about this. Did you include a statement of the company’s account? Which should reflect the N4.5 million in profits. Also, an audited report of the company statement from a good accounting firm should’ve shown the profits made from your business. Also, does the CAC papers clearly show your full name as the owner?
I honestly don’t know. I’m just wondering where the loopholes in your application could have been.

larrybam:
Good afternoon everyone, been following this thread for sometime now. I applied for UK visa and I received a refusal letter this afternoon. The business is mine and I've been operating this business for some years now. Below is the refusal letter, what do you advise I do next please?

It’s sis lol….I’m sure this week, everyone will receive good news. Amen

hope say the passport never lost sha

Forget about it until your financial situation changes. Get a well paying job or start a lucrative business. Also try to travel to other countries before going to the Uk. Shortly visit Dubai & South Africa or something. Your application is too weak. Your uncle shouldn’t bother sending documents yet because it’ll be a waste. Unless he can sponsor you for student visa.

Vinny102:

Ok thanks
But what am I suppose to do now because he has already said he will send invitation, his passport and other documents needed by January for me to apply.
Shd I tell him to forget about it?
Abeg make una help me with answer

No, you’re not good to go o. You need solid ties to show that you will return. Wife & children, a well paying job, properties/investment etc. It’s not about having 1 million naira in your account. People have been denied with N20 million in their accounts. The question is, “Why will you return to Nigeria to continue earning N46k on a monthly basis?”. The ECO won’t think twice before denying your visa because your case is not very convincing. There’s also the question of, is your uncle married with children? Why can’t his family take care of him? Everyone has a reason to go to the UK so your uncle not feeling well won’t move the ECO. These are people are not empathetic/emotional at all. They look at our applications as if we are liars until proven otherwise. So as they pick up our application, they are expecting lies and false stories.
There are just too many loopholes.

Vinny102:

Thank u so much
But my uncle is the one that will take care of all the expenses and his house in UK is where Iam going to stay and besides, I have more than one million in my other account.
With the above, am I good to go?

With 46k salary, there’s obviously no incentive to return to Nigeria. The chances are slim o…that’s £83 that you earn every month. Are you married and do you have properties in Nigeria? Your case isn’t very convincing. There is also the question of how someone who earns that amount is able to save up to 1 million naira. I was denied some years ago and at that time, I was earning 350k o. With about 3 million in savings. The ECO denied me saying that he doesn’t know the source of the money in my account lol! So these visa officers are looking for every possible reason to deny you. Try to get another job or start a business and register it in CAC. Then be paying yourself a good amount of money on a monthly basis as your salary.

Vinny102:
@giselle237, @justwise and anyone with experience
Please help me with answers.

My uncle who has British passport wants to invite me to UK to visit him base on his health condition and my work here in Nigeria is a salary work of 46k. And again, the salary account has been receiving money like one million and something but not up to two million. And my uncle said he will send me his British passport for my application
My concern now is, is my salary of 46k and the money that my friend has been sending to my account which is sometimes more than one million and sometimes not up affect my Visa approval?
Pls advise me also on other things to do.
Thank u

Since it’s your personal introduction letter, there’s no need for letter head because it’s not an official introduction letter. Even if you’re self employed, you’re the one requesting for visa. It’s not like your company is sending you on an official trip or something. You’re the one just writing and signing by yourself.
Usually, people get letters from their office introducing them.

fela1000:


Thanks so much for this. Can I write it on my company A4 paper and then scan it.

Thanks �

Did my biometric today in Abuja. Hoping for good news. I tap into the testimonies of those that received their passports in 15 working days

Why would you do something like that??! Adding visa refusal letters of other countries to your application??! You’re just going to give the ECO more reasons to deny you. Just put it in your application form. In fact, you can leave the France denial information in your application form since it’s an EU country and it’s close to the UK but there’s no honestly no need to put Canada denial information. You’re just going to make things worse.

Leleky:

The refusal is from Canada and France

Wow! Yours is the fastest standard visa I’ve seen recently

VISA UPDATE:

Hey guys good afternoon. To give an update on our application.

Did Biometric on 5th October (standard visa)
Decision made 15th October
Passport collection back 9th November via courier

My submission date is next week. I really wish I could do priority application and visit my family this Christmas but my agent said they don’t advice first timers to do priority application

You can do CIMA

Shinaayomi1:
Hello everyone

A big ups to active contributors on this thread. we owe a lot to you guys.

I wanted to confirm if anyone knows a list of professional certifications other than ACCA or I CAN which would be considered for the two or more certificate, diploma, degree CRS score

I"m talking about certifications like CIPM, CIPS et al. and what ECA body will most likely favour these certifications??

This uk visa issue is so stressful

Please I have 4 large deposits in my account within the last 6 months. These are all above my monthly salary. I don't have a business but I invest in crypto and since these payments are above 1 million naira, I don't know how to explain them. Especially because the CBN banned sale of crypto in Nigeria and it may be used against me. My submission is next week

Oh okay, thank you. So does anyone think its advisable to pay an extra GBP220 to get a decision within 5 days? Based on the current delays in with the uk embassy. I had really hoped to spend christmas with my family

giselle237:

Priority——220 pounds —— 5 workin days
Super proority—— 495 p—— 1 working day

I plan on spending Christmas with my mum and siblings who work and school in the Uk. Based on the current delays in visa processing, does it seem worth it to pay £500 priority service which is usually processed within 5 days? This is my first trip to the Uk

No more CEC draws for over a month now, only PNP....I wish I could get a sneak peek of what is going on in IRCC headquarters

Try not to be sad....it also affects but I try to brush off the negative feelings. Some people have been on this journey for several years. I know someone that finally got her points this year and it's now that they decided not to do draws...imagine the frustration. Just try your best to still enjoy life (even though I know it can be hard to do so with all the issues in Nigeria). But just try to distract yourself with family, friends, movies, books, social media etc. It will end in praise...Amen!

OrgasmGiver:
Losing hope that the FSW draws will resume. Really sad

Hmmm....I follow an Indian Immigration facebook page and there are posts from Indians & Pakistanis who have received PPRs...they are all outlanders so, they don't live in Canada...seems like they're releasing PPRs slowly...hopefully, there will soon be a rain of PPRs for all those who submitted since last year.

Of course! Mine is

Aremu01:
Hello all?

Pls can my proof of fund be a dorm account with USD denomination?

The fact that there were no CEC draws this seems fishy o….or maybe they’ve exhausted most of the CEC candidates in the pool? Let them start FSW biko

Noooo...Port Harcourt is the only center for TCF Canada & TCF Quebec. As for TEF, there are several centres all over Nigeria.

kayuz40:
Please guys
Is port Harcourt the only exam center for TEF ??

Go to page 1 of this thread and read the process on how to go about it...it you're less than 30 with a masters degree and you get high scores in your IELTS, you should have nothing less than 470 score should be good enough. Also go on YouTube to watch videos on how to start the canada PR process. There are thousands of videos online.

adejoro1988:
Hello house, can some explain how I can start this programme I hold a master degree in History and international studies. what is my chances of getting point for migration.

I personally prefer TCF and anyone I know, I would tell them to write it...TEF & TCF formats are different though, so since you already have a good French knowledge, I would say you can begin preparations for TCF and set a goal for 2 months of serious preparations. I used 3 months because I had never written any exam in French so I wanted to take my time and make sure I passed it once. But remember TCF is only done in Alliance Française Port Harcourt...if you don't mind flying there, then go for it. I went from Abuja and TCF is the best decision I ever made.

Uchevec:
No im in lagos.

Ee and Eo 432 445 respectively C1 in rest . I felt prepared and fauled. So is tcf not a vaible option?

This journey has been a very funny one. Last week I had to write IELTS again because I wrote IELTS in 2019 and it just expired. I never even thought I would have to write IELTS again based on expiration of result. Anyway, the journey continues.
I received my result yesterday and with this my score + TCF canada exam has increased from 500 to 506. It's just very annoying that people with higher scores don't get chosen for Ontario PNP but I shall remain hopeful

You can try TEF again...remember it's a test of your French knowledge...but if you feel like the TEF format isn't for you, then you can try TCF. It's just that you'll have to accustom yourself to the TCF format which will require at least 2 months of good preparation. The tutor is based in Abuja...is that where you're based?

Uchevec:
Pls kindly connect me with this teacher. Im lost. Failed TEF
quote author=cutebear post=102451011]
Booked?? No o...scroll up. I just posted my TCF exam results some days ago
You can download TCF textbooks online using google search. There are many helpful websites for TCF exam practice also. Getting a tutor to correct your errors and your speaking would also be great. I spent about 3 months preparing for the exam with a brilliant tutor in Abuja. He was only used to TEF and I was his first ever TCF student but this man really helped me with EE & EO and always corrected my mistakes.

No, you will get ITA when they do a draw for PNP

aussielover:
Good morning peeps

I have a quick question

If I get a nomination from a Canadian province , do I have to wait until the FSW draw happens before I can proceed with my express entry application?

It's better to aim for a lower score in reading or listening than in writing or speaking. For example, I got 9 in reading and Knew fully well that I got all the answers correctly. If I wanted to reduce my score to 7.5, all I had to do was purposely fail about 5 questions. Just aim for 7.5 in reading or listening competence and you can lose a lot of marks. Calculate this with the CRS calculator before trying it sha.

GraciousWords:


What's your NOC, if you don't mind sharing?

Once FSW start, 487 is almost guaranteed on the 1st or 2nd draw, depending on draw size. Hopefully birthday is still a while away.

^{Another option that I have heard of to get within the OINP CRS band is to redo IELTS aiming for a lower CLB e.g. CLB8 instead of CLB10 in W and S competences for example will reduce your CRS by 22 points. The OINP french speakers draw are every other month I think so keep that in mind, in case there is a FSW draw before then.}
